From mistress Of a fortune to driv-

not sound elegant, perhaps, but it rep
resents the remarkable transition
through which Nora Gaines, Of Colo

ton Post.
Few people know of her former
state Of, wealth and the luxury in
which she reveled as the wife Of o. @.
Fenalson, a multimillionaire manufac-
turer Of Tacoma, Wash.
1t is a long story-thls transitory
period Of Nora Gaines life. Suffice 1t
to say that she has been thrice mar

man of Colorado Springs and a woman
who not only earns her own living but
puts by competence that enables her
to travel three months Of the year and
enjoy some Of the pleasures that were
her wont when a woman Of fashion
and accustomed to the ways of the
wealthy and the ms and outs Of soci-

in the notoriety that has attached to
her calling.

clared. "Men may come and women
may go, but go on forever-earning
money" And she laughs at her own
paraphrasing Of Tennyson's 1.-THE

She is educated, this woman Of wag-

It is this class and the theatrical tai

Father of Auti.Pass Ri1I.

Albert r. Hall, father of the anti
pass act and other railroad reform meas
ures, was buried with state honors at his
home in Knapp Sunday, the funeral be-
ing attended by Gov. La Toilette and
other State officials and committees from
both houses of the Assembly. The re-
mains were taken to the tomb from the
house in which Hall had lived for years
the life of recluse and there followed
a cortege in which nearly every family
in the district was represented. Mr.. Hall
was 81 years of age, and had served in
the Minnesota Legislature seven terms
and in that of Wisconsin six terms. He
retired from public life three years ago
and died from Bright's disease, leaving
a large estate. The epitaph Of the mHi
who started the remarkable railroad re-
form movement in Wisconsin is written
on floral tribute sent by the Legislature
and State officers. The inscription reads
EVERY act of his life was in accord
with the motto of our State, and his
work for the public good has perma-
nent place in our history" The death of
Mr.. Hall removes a picturesque figure
from Wisconsin politics. For years ha
was the nightmare of corporation mag
mates and lobbyists.

WISCONSIN'S RECORD.

Milwaukee Exposition Building Burns
Storm Does Great Damage in Vari-
Gus Parts of the State-Former Leais-
lator Highly Honored at Funeral.

The Milwaukee Exposition building,
which for many years has been the scene
OF triumphs by Nordica, De Reske and
ether celebrities, as we'll as having been
the arena for local fights for the mayor
atty, the governorship and college field
contests, was destroyed by fire Sunday
evening. The losses will reach 100000.
Ihe whole town turned out to witness
tie destruction. A whole square block,
in one of Milwaukee's busiest sections,
was destroyed When the fire broke out
there were more than 1000, including
shat players from all parts of the Unit
ed States and hundreds of spectators, in
the building These were participants in
the eighth annual skat league COMPETE
ton of the North American Skat League
congress. There was wild rush for
the doors. All escaped and stood out
side the building watching it's destruc
ton. Forty thousand people saw the
structure burn like a bunch of matches
1t was constructed mostly of wood and
the wood fiber burned without hindrance.
The brick portions still stand. The fire
started in the north section of the build
ing. The primary difficulty was said to
be due to defective insulation in electric
lighting. The flames quickly spread to
the south and soon the entire building
was in flames. The big canvas curtain
which covered the auditorium soon fell.

Then he turned to the tickled men.

wrung the troopers hand again, Il am

seemed to think that if 1 got shot it
was his duty to get shot, too"
There was half an hour of this sort
Of greeting, all personal, and then the
party sat down to dinner. 1t was
camp dinner, cooked in camp ovens
and served with camp dishes. There
were a pot roast Of beef, corn, peas,
potatoes, bread and butter and coffee.
The President fell to with an appe-
tite that apparently was voracious. He
had two helpings Of beef, and ate so
much bread and butter that Secretary
Loeb was obliged to replenish the plate
three times.
There are finicky people, not to say
pernickety, who think the word "bully"
is vulgar. He said he was "bully"
when rough rider asked him how he
felt, how he liked his reception, what
he thought of the city, the State, the
country or the universe. Everything
was ''bully," and so was he. He
laughed like a schoolboy on vacation.
He let down in every way. The SEN
tries around the fence were deaf to the
pleadings Of the crowd who wanted to
get in, and the President, as he said
himself, "played hockey from being
President for three hours, and had the
time Of his life.

Prisoner Proves I'm Land.

Sheriff Nelson of Green County has
taken to the Kansas penitentiary John
+. Yates, a farmer, for the murder of
William Hughes, wealthy cattleman,
last July.
Yates was sentenced to three years
in the penitentiary in the District Court
at Mangum three weeks ago, says the
Kansas City Journal, but was allowed
to prove up his homestead and provide
for his family so they could live in
comfort during the three years he is
i'll the penitentiary.
Last Saturday night Yates went to
Sheriff Nelson and said he was ready
to begin his sentence. He was non
manacled as he rode on the train on
the way to Lansing, Kan, but sat in
the seat with the Sheriff as any other
citizen might.
The killing of Hughes was the re-
suit of an old free-range quarrel out
in the new country. Yates was arrest.
ed and placed in Jail. His bond was
fixed at $4,000, the judge thinking
that amount would be more than would
be raised in the county.
Yates was released on bond, how
ever, before the end of the week. A
group of farmers who were his friends
qualified for more than twice that
amount.
Judge Irwin announced the sentence,
and asked Yates if he had anything to
say. Yates said the sentence was just
and that he would serve it.
He said, however, he lacked short
time Of having proved up his home.

two weeks longer. Judge Irwin grant.

INDIAN TREATMENT OF SICK.
Superstitious Ceremony that Is Often
a Last Resort.

Last Resort.
The trial in the federal court Of
Louis Brown, charged with the muir
der of Walter Richardson and Moses
Pettigrew, brought to light an Indian
superstition that was new to many
people. Several years ago, when the
famous Solomon Hotem witch killing
case was tried in the same court, there
was considerable evidence to show the
belief Of the Indians in witchcraft, and
the testimony in the Brown case re-
veals an equally weird story.
One Of the witnesses testified that
the homicide for which Brown was
tried occurred at 'pachofsha." In
answer to inquiries as to the meaning
Of the word it was explained that a
pachofsha is feast and a part Of the
incarnation and superstitious cere-
mony conducted over the sick by the
lower class of ignorant Indians.
When man is thought to be sick
enough to require the services Of a
doctor he is put into a hut, and for
three days no one except the doctor
sees him. The doctor goes into the
woods and gathers herbs, from which
he prepares potion for the sick man
and then keeps lonely vigil with him.
At the end Of the third day, if the pa
tient is not improved, the order is
given to prepare a pachofsha. Corn
and meat, either beef, pork or game,
are put in a large kettle and stewed
until the corn is soft
All the relatives Of the sick man
are entitled to attend, and they gather
around the kettle for the feast. The
sick man is brought out and served
first. He is fed as much as his stom-
ach can hold, and the others then turn
in and deyour the remainder Of the
stew. When this is concluded bon
fire is built and lighted, the crowd cir
cles around and dances to the time of
a weird chant. After this, if the sick
man does not show signs of getting
better, nothing more is done for him,
and he dies or gets well by act of
observation-disclosures Times-Journal.

so arranged as to drag all loose dirt

A MILITANT PASTOR.
Rev. DIR. Washington GLADDEN., Foe of

Kew. DIR. Washington GLADDEN., Foe of
the Standard Oil Company.
Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN., who
made such forcible protests against
the acceptance of the 100000 gift Of
fered by John D. Rockefeller to the
American Board Of Missions, has the
distinction Of being the first person
who has ever succeeded, either by ut
terances in the public press or in the
pulpit, in elfciting reply from the
Standard Oil king, directly or indi-
rectly. It was to him that S. @. T.
Dodd, the chief counselor of the
Standard Oil Company, replied in a
carefully prepared paper DR.. Glad
den, however, refused to be silenced
by Rockefeller's paid attorney and is
determined to carry on his campaign
upon the ethics Of gift making and
gift taking.
DR.. GLADDEN. has been @ prominent
figure in the religious world for 40
years. He is a native of Pennsylvania
and a graduate Of Williams College.
His first pastorate was in Brooklyn.
In turn he had charge of churches at
Morrisania, N. Y; North Adams and
Springfield, Mass, and since 1882 in
Columbus, Ohio. He has written
many religious works, but is best
known as a writer upon social reform
topics.
Once he made an incursion into the
political field and was elected to the
city council Of Columbus on an indie
pendent ticket. His fight was against
ring politics and in favor of three
cent car fare.
No utterance of his in his long ca
reer stirred the public mind to such
depth as his denunciation Of the
Standard Oil Company's methods.
