in some pancake batter which Mrs.
Holder had made into pancakes the
morning they were taken i'll. One boy
in the family ate Of everything parta-
ken of by the mother and father ex
cept the pancakes and this led to the
belief that the poison was in them. y

by postmortem examination, result
ed in the verdict of accidental poison
ing in the husbands case. The stom-
ach has been sent to the state chem

on the morning the fatal pancakes
were eaten this son pleaded illness
and took no breakfast. AS soon as the
mother had recovered sufficiently to

Repairing an Old Church.

Seneca, April 1S.-The interior of the
Oldest Universaiist church in Kansas
has Just been rebuilt at Seneca. Thus
church was constructed of stone under
the supervision of J. A. Boveyer in
1861. who is still a resident of Seneca.
In 1876, when the court house was &C.
stroyed by fire the county. officials used
this church for their respective office 5
for several months. there being no 9TH
er building in the town adequate for
the purpose. The most notable feature
in the repairing of the church is the
fact that Rev. George Longbrake, the
pastor, performed the principal part Of
the work himself. He said that for the
past four months he had labored with
the pick, shovel, saw, paint brush and
mop rag.
