FOU ND EXHAUSTED
GEORGE J. MOTIFS TAKEN TO
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.
In Critical Condition, but It is Thought
he Will Recover-Had
No Food.

George j. Motifs, who was a prominent
harness man in this city some years ago,
was taken to the Emergency Hospital this
morning from his room at 913 D street
northwest and treated for exhaustion.
While his condition was critical. the doc
tors said they thought he would probably
recover.
1t is thought he would soon have been
6ead had he not been found this morning
and hurried to the hospital.
His rescue was due to John w. Hurley
who conducts plumbing establishment on
the lower floor of the building Mr.. Mott
has his mail box in the plumbing estab-
lishment, and the accumulation of mail
caused Mr.. Hurley to suspect that there
was something wrong. Shortly before noon
he went to the room of Mr.. Motifs on the
top floor of the building, and, looking over
the transom, saw the occupant lying upon
the floor with blanket thrown over him.
The door was forced open when Police
man McTaggart reached the house.
Mr.. Motifs occupied a small hall room in
the building that he had formerly owned.
There was a couch in the room, an Oil stove
and cooking utensils. He also had a num-
about the room. On the wall were two
certificates. showing he had been awarded
first prize at the Centennial celebration
in Philadelphia in 1876 and at the Chicago
exposition in 1893 He had been awarded
medals corresponding with the framed GER
t.ficates. When the policeman and friends
entered the room the gas was burning. and
the heat furnished in this way, 1t is be-
lieved, prevented his suffering greatly from
the cold.

Motifs said. I'm be all right in a short
time
A surgeon from the Emergency Hospital
said he could not be given proper treat
ment in the room, and he was taken to
the hospital.
The condition of the room indicated that
Mr.. Motifs had probably had hemorrhage
several days ago. There was no food found
In the room and his friends feared he had
been without food for several days. In the
room the policeman found more than 500
| in cash. three gold watches and papers in
dicating that Mr.. Motifs held trust on local
property.
! Mr. Motifs was connected with several in
| cal organizations. He was an expert with
| the gun, and frequently went on shoot
| ing trips with local business men.

Goebel's Bill Goes Over.
p. w. Goebel is having some trouble
in getting the house keyed up to the
negotiable instrument bill. This bill
was read one day while the house
went to supper and was today on the
calendar as a special order for 10
o'clock for the final vote.
w. b Ham, w A s Bird and oth-
ers objected to the consideration of
the bill. as they said they wanted
more time to study 1t. The mousse
voted to postpone the speclaI OrueI
for the final vote till Thursday at
o'clock
Could Not Agree.
The conference committee on con-
gressionaI apportionment has agreed
to disagree, and this morning reported
its inability to arrive at a compromise.
Another conference committee was
asked for.
The house conferees insisted that
the Brandon bill should pass as pre-
sented bv Mr. Brandon, putting Cow
ley county in the new Eighth district
The senate conferees insisted that
Cowley should remain in the Third
district. Senator Fitzpatrick is the
man who is given credit for blocking
the passage of the house bill by the
senate. He opposes the bill for po-
liticaI reasons.

Is YOUR BOY A DRUNKARD i?
Help Him by Orrine to Overcome His
Craving Can be Given Secretly.

If your boy or husband has fallen a
victim to the drink habit, endangering
his future happiness and prosperity,
do not delay moment in helping
him to overcome his craving for drink
Will-power alone cannot cure the
liquor habit, for drunkenness is a dis
ease and the desire for liquor must be
satisfied.
Orrine, the wonderful specific for
the cure for the whiskey and beer
habit, removes all craving for drink
with a few days use and effects a per
manent and lasting cure 1t comes in
two forms. No. is perfectly color
less, tasteless and odorless. and can be
given in tea, coffee or food without
the patients knowledge. But we rec
ommend No. ,, in pill form, to be used
by those who desire to free themselves
from the terrible mastery of drink.
The cost of either form is 81 a box

some hack or omnibus ran over him.
He either lay in the street in a drunken
stupor, or was knocked down. One OF
the horses struck him with it's hoof,

pie and over the left eye That con-
clusiOn is easily possible and right"
But Jodry's pockets were turned in
side out when he was found by DIR.
Keith, according to the Iatter's state
ment," was said to the chief. That
would indicate robbery His being
knocked down and run over by a cab
would certainly not have turned his
pockets inside out"
There is some difference of opinion
on that score" =" replied the chief. i

ed inside out by persons after he was
found, to see what he had in his pos
session so as to keep it from getting

did Patrolman Voiles find out any
thing at Salina concerning the state
ments that Jodry's life had there been
threatened, and he had been warned
to not stay in that town."
well we did find out something,
and then we didn't" answered the
chief. I'VE got a good deal of the
past history of the man, which, how
ever, contains nothing to throw any
hsht upon the present aftalr- so lar
as the alleged threateningS are con-
cerned, they resulted in very little and
have nothing to do at all with Jodry's
death"
This interview plainly indicates the
fact that the officers are very much at
nlid-sea so far as being able to give
an account of Jodry's death The
theory that he was run down and
killed by a hack will not hold water
with those who witnessed the autopsy
performed on the body of the dead
man at Shellabarger's undertaking
rooms on Monday afternoon.
The wounds plainly disclosed that
they were done with some sharp in
strument, and with three distinct
blows. The fractures extended clear
through two places, and a glancing

New Primary Election Law Pro-
yides for Conventions.

Question to County Committee.
POMEROY PROTESTS.
Says Election Committee Doesn't
Father the Bill.
Mr.. Stubbs Didn't Want to Have
It Amended.

This morning the house had up for
consideration the new primary cleo
tior law. which was originally drafted
by Geo. Beardsley of Russell but
which has been revised considerably
and is now proposed as a committee
of elections bill
There were a number of amend
ments proposed tostFe bill, and some
of them were adopted. The bill in its
general form, however, seemed ac-
ceptable to the house.
Mr.. Leland was in the chair during
the consideration of the bill in COM
mittee of the whole.
Frank Pomeroy of Jackson charged
that the bill was not being given Suf-
ficient consideration. He said:
This bill is before US as an election
committee bill. I want to say right
now that this is not a committee bill;
it has never been before the commit
tee. 1 am a member of that commit
tee, and this bill has never even been
considered by US. This is a Dill by the
chairman of the election committee,
not of the committee. 1 want it dis
tinctly understood that 1, as a member
of the election committee, do not
want to shoulder any responsibility
for this BILL
Speaker Stubbs was in favor of the
bill. and did not like to see 1t amend
ed He said:
This bill has been worked up with
a great deal of care. 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion that it is the best
that can be had. I hope we won't
butcher up the bill. 1t is deliber-
ately and carefully considered bill, and
a great many of the members nave
been called into consultation in the
preparation of the BILL
W. Y. Morgan proposed an important
amendment to the bill which was adopt
ed by a vote of 80 to 26 The amend
ment gives to the county central COM
mittee the right to make the county
nominations by direct vote of the people
instead of by. the convention plan.

What It VIII Cost John Hyde for
Talking About a Woman.

The jury in the Shawnee county district
court this morning gave verdict of 500
to Mrs. Sarah J. Wilson, who sued John
Hyde about year ago for 5000 damages
for sIander and defamation of character
Hyde lives about six miles east Of town.
About two years ago ne employed MIS-.
Wilson as his housekceper. After giving
him a partial promise of marriage she
changed her opinion about him and re-
fused to become his wife
He then circulated, according to the
charge, some very slanderoas statements
about her and she sued him for 5000
damages. The jury gave her $500. The
case was tried about six months ago, but
the jury disagreed.
Mrs Wilson is now the wife Of John
Jack the Well-knoWn Usage county coal
operator. Her attorneys were Schenck and
Page. Archie Williams defended Hyde.
The testimony in the case was very racy
and unprintable.
