TOM LAWSON'S GRIEF.
For 90 Days and Nights He Has
Stayed by His Wife's CasEet.

Boston, Aug. 3O.-The death of his
wife has changed Thomas w. Lawson
from a financial whirlwind" into a
grief-stricken Fecluse, who may never
emerge to mingle in the affairs of his
feIlow-men. Friends of the financier
fear his intellect may become perman-
emily shattered. He does not even at
tempt to supervise his most pressing
personal affairs
For twenty days and nights he has
sat near the casket of Mrs. Lawson.

authorities, still rests In the little cot
tage at Dreamwold. He had a couch
placed beside the coffin. There he
keeps his ceaseless vigil, leaving only
long enough to enter the garden and
pick his dead wife's favorite flowers,
which he heaps above her body.
For many days after her death Mr..
Lawson could not be convinced that

Only by turning the clocks in the

Mrs. Lawson's body could be laid in
the vault prepared for it, but the ply

TAKE DOWN THE SIGN.
Railroads Refuse TO Haul Train Bear
ing Bryan Banners.

Rochester. N. Y. Aug. 30.-The st.
Louis Jefferson club special train.
bearing $50 Missourians to New York
10 help greet W. J. Bryan. was held
up for more than four hours at Buffalo
by the West Shore railroad, which de-
manded that the "odious" Bryan ban
ners on the sides of the cars should be
removed before the company would
carry the special into New York.
The Missourians pleaded, protested
stormed and threatened in vain
Against their arguments and prayers
the officials of the New York Central
system in New York city and in Buffalo
were adamant They stood pat on
their general rule that no cars should
pear any banners or Inscriptions, and
merely shrugged their shoulders when
reminded by the Missourians that
many cars have been carried within
the last few weeks bearing banners of
various kinds
The banners on the St Lohis special
read MISSOURI Democratic Jefferson Club
Special. Welcome to Bryan.
After dozen kilograms had been ex-
changed with the head officials and sew
erat long distance telephone conversations
had proved futile. and after local agents
OF the West Shore had tried in vain to
strip the Bryan banners from the cars the
Missourians: learning that the other roads
entering Buffalo had entered into an agree
ment not to haul them to New York unless
to the Inevitable and agreed to allow the
railroad agents to remove the banners
A committee was appointed to draw up
resolutions strongly denouncing the rail-
roads imperlOus action and expressing the
opinion that It would result in thousands
Of votes for Bryan.The resolutions in part
are as follows:

Of railroad companies should be sufficient
proof to convince the most skeptical that
we invite every free and untrammeled
American newspaper to give these resolu-
tons the fullest publicity, that the people

IIEBERMAN Can NOR BE FOUND
L. C. lindsey. His Bondsman. Takes
Charge Of Notorious junk Shop.

Sam Lieberman, the junk dealer vic
has had shop at ia Kansas avenue
and against whom there are half
dozen suits pending for receiving stolen
property, has left the city for parts
unknown or at any rate the sheriff's
force is unable to locate him. He was
released on three counts under bonds
aggregating ST. 100, which were signed
by II. O. Lindsey who took q bill Of
sale on the junk store to secure him.
There are three warrants in the hands
the old offense but he left the city be
fore they could be served after an
nouneing that he was going to Kansas
City but would return the following
day.
With the arrest of the band of cop
per and brass thieves that have been
lObbing the Santa Fe railroad, and their
confessions nearly all of which impH-
cate Ileberman, he seems to have ar
rived at the conclusion that his business
in Topeka is of minor importance.
Colonel Lindsey took possession of the
junk shop this morning and now finds
that he has added new business to his
means of earning a livelihood. It is
understood that an attorney represent
ing Lieberman viii arrive in the city

Just at the present time Lindsey does
net know whether he owns the junk
store OF not, or whether he is short the
amount of bonds furnished for the ap-
pearance OF Lieberman, and the result
of the affair viii probably be a suit il

the country for Lieberman.
