SENATOR GoRMAN DEAD.
Famous Democratic Statesman Sue
cumbs to Heart Disease.

Washington-Arthur Pue German,
United States senator from Maryland,
died suddenly at his residence in this
city at 9:05 o'clock Monday morning.
While Senator German had been i'll for
many months. he had shown some i'm
provement lately. Heart trouble was
the immediate cause of death
Up to the moment of death Senator
German was conscious. His condition
during the past week had improved 50
much that Sunday the family had
hopes of shortly taking him to the
country.
AT the bedside were Mrs. German,
Miss Ada German, the senator's ED
est daughter, and the nurse.
Senator German leaves widow and
six children as follows: Miss Ada
German, Mrs. Wilton j. Lambert, Mrs.
R. A. Johnson, Mrs. R. w. Hills, all of
this city; Mrs. Stephen Gambrill or
London. England, who arrived here a
week ago, and Arthur Pue German,
Jr., of Laurel, Maryland, member of
the Maryland Assembly.
Arthur Pue German was born i'll
Howard county, Maryland March IL,
1889 He was appointed page in the
United States Senate in 1852, serving
in that capacity until 1866, when he
was made postmaster. He was re
moved the same year and appointed
internal revenue collector for the Fifth
district of Maryland, serving until the
Grant administration. Elected to the
Maryland House of Delegates in 1863,
German became speaker in his third
term and was elected State Senator in
1875 In 1880 he was elected to the
United States Senate, assuming his
seat in 1881 and serving continuously
eighteen years. He at once became q
notable figure in national politics and
was the leader of his party during
pearly his entire service in the Senate.

this, his adventures evincing most
daring nature and great nerve and de-
termination. Granted he had fled to
Grovedale to evade pursuit, disguised
himself to appear as slightly dement,
ed and as a common workman, it was
nat too much to believe of such a man
that he had become infatuated with
Mrs. Hamilton and sought to claim
her as his wife. basing his actions on
her attitude toward her returned hus-
band and his slight resemblance to
the latter. Then, too, the shot fired
on Mr.. Hamilton's premises might
well have been done by his own hand
to evidence his own assertion that the
design was to get rid of him and his
claims, which would suggest that
Hamilton did it himself.
DR.. Peck was no lawyer, nor did he
reckon himself particularly astute,
but as he sat there facts and deduc-
tons evolved themselves with start
ling force and rapidity, mingling and
commingling in the widest confusion
until his brain seemed bursting
Strange how dormant ideas start into
being and range themselves side by
side to do battle for or against start
ling assertion. A luminous path seem
ed open to his vision, leading straight
to the time when Vane Hamilton left
home in the first place, and he saw
clearly the long line of events since
then down to this strange declaration
lust made to him. Back of it all was
deep, dark mystery. Nillainy was
there, sorrow could not be far distant
and for every one concerned in the
matter there would be suspense mad
dening and extreme.
Indignation arose in his heart to-
ward the man before him. 1t became
in an instant too deep for expression
and he arose without speaking an
other word and left the house.

NEW KANSAS SENATOR.
Burton, Sentenced to Jail, Resigns and
Coburn is Appointed.

Topeka, Kan.-Foster Dwight Co
burn was appointed United States sen
ator by Gov. E. w. Hoch Monday, to
succeed ]. h. Burton, who had resigned
earlier in the day. He has not def
nitely accepted the appointment.
The appointment is meeting with
general satisfaction over Kansas, Mr..
Coburn being probably the most popu-
state.
The fame Of Senator Coburn as a sci
entific and practical agriculturist is
world wide. He is as well known in
several European countries as he is in
many parts of Kansas. His books are
used in Australia. His name signed to
crop report is a certificate of ac-
curacy and has caused grain markets
to fluctuate.
When the corn crop failed and farm
ers wanted to know about feeding
wheat to stock, he issued a pamphlet
on the subject for free distribution
and followed this with series of
pamphlets on live agricultural topics
which are known as Coburn's Red
Line" series and are accepted as text
books on agriculture.
Mr.. Coburn first advised the planting
of alfalfa from personal knowledge Of
it's value, and revolutionized the hay
industry. He was pioneer in the ad-
vocacy of stock feeding for beef and
earned the gratitude of stock growers
who have profited by his teachings.
His thirty years of practical farming
and his facilities for experiment and
research in his official capacity have
enabled him to collect for farmers the
best known methods of carrying on ev-
cry detail of work for increasing the
profit of the farmer, stock grower,
chicken fancier, dairyman, hay grower,
etc.
F. D. Coburn was born in Jefferson
county, Wisconsin, in 1916. He served
in two Illinois regiments during the
Civil War and settled in Kansas in
1867. He has served for the past six
teen years as secretary of the Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture. He
was commissioner of live stock at the
st. Louis Exposition in 1904. His
Home is in Kansas City, Kansas. Thir-
ty-five years ago he walked across the
Missouri river on the ice and into the
Suntlower State. Since then he has
worked every day and often far into
the night for the benefit of the state
and the farmers of the world. Since
he took to the desk he has regularly
spent twelve to fourteen hours daily
at it.

made was to go to the mill and de
manI to see the man known as Nane
Hamilton"
Shall you see HIM" asked Mr. Car
| ter
Yes, it may as well be now as
later"
Edes entered and confronted the
two men. He held out his hand to Mr.,
Carter who, however, did not appear
to see it.
Very we'll, uncle. You will see
your act in its true light some day."
said the former workman with so
much dignity that Mr.. Carter stared
at him.
ooh, come now! That's all bosh,
my man"
DO you think so?" asked Edes,
looking full in the face of the other
man.
II do; but I am willing to hear any
thing you have to say in support of
your claim. for, | own, | am curious
to understand it,"
You know all about it now If you
did not you would not be mere But

you would not do it. I know Did
you not know you were my brother

No, l confess | did not" dryly. 81
always supposed that my brother died
in infancy. Can you prove that he did
not?"
II prove that he did not, You are
that brother and not L. Before our
mother died she asked me to search
for you two weeks of every year, for
she would never believe you dead,
although every one else did. You
were stolen in infancy. She gave me
the ring you wear on your finger, in
trust for you. The words in trust are
engraved on the inside"
Everybody in Grovedale knows
that. Perhaps you will tell me how
this ring came upon my finger if it
was delivered into your keeping"
II cannot. l confess IL is a mys-
terry. 1t is also a mystery how you
became possessed Of my papers. l
