Remembered in Paducah.

Major Hugh Dennis and wife are
remembered by many Paducahans.
The major came here, as stated in
the telegram above, and engaged in
the insurance business. He was a
man of attractive appearance, pleas
ing address, and rapidly won busi-
ness and social attention. His then
very beautiful wife was with him
and her attractiveness no doubt
helped her husband in winning his
popularity. For a time in some cir
cles they were "lions." but. too
rapid gait-enjoying life to extrav-
agantly-brought Major Dennis to a
bed of Illness and his wife into
closer circles. Their former prestige
rapidly departed and after a few
more weeks of residence the couple
had gone, about as they came, but
not without leaving afoat some
such stories as gossips like to roll
beneath their tongues. Major Dennis
and wife had been well lost to men,
ory as well as sight until Paducah-
ans began to read in the st. Louis
press of their connection with the
big get-rich-quick swindles mention
ed The. second time they soon pass
ed into local obscurity and then fol
lowed the majors death, and now
comes that of his beautiful wife,
which Is not without connections
which are sad indeed. There will be
some Paducahans who in recalling
this couple may have more than sur
face regrets. especially because of
the evident fall of the beautiful wo-
man they once knew.

promise agreement on the statehood

the question of their admission as

from present Indications.
The conferres met today for the

was devoted to what are termed min

that the basis of agreement on the
chief question is suggesting itself
naturally and will result in the re-
storation of Arizona and New Mexico
to the bill with the Foraker amend
ment. and inquiry among senators
who opposed the original house bill
indicates that they will accept this

Clearly Aimed to Cheat Nature
and Lost Her Life.
Once Lived i'm Paducah and st. Louis,
Where She Made a
Career"
END CAME IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York, March 29.-In the
morgue here lies the body of Mrs
Blanche Turner Dennis, widow OF
the late Major Hugh Dennis, at one
time of Paducah and later a st. Louis
get-rich-quick grain operator. The
beautiful young woman came here
from st. Louis some days ago, took
rooms at a fashionable hotel, and
later became very i'll. The physic-
ian called in was not slow in seeing
that Mrs. Dennis had made an effort
to hide a scandal and subjected her
self to tratement that was likely to
cost her life. Mrs. Dennis rapidly
became desperately i'll If she told
her doctor the name of the man who
was responsible for her seclusion in
New York he has not divulged it.
The physician communicated with
the coroner and asked that he come
to the hotel. The coroner found
Mrs. Dennis in great agony Opiates
were administered in an effort to re-
lieve her but they were of little use
If there had been a time when she
could make a statement she would
not talk. She seemed to want to die
with her secret. Death came last
night.
Major Dennis was an associate OF
United States Senator Burton, who
was indicted with Major Dennis in
connection with the get-rich-quick
concerns which were unearthed by
District Attorney Folk. of st. Louis.
Dennis was president of the> Rialto
Grain and Securities company of st.
Louis which operated all over West
Kentucky. He died in 1904 of grief
caused by exposures. Eight years
ago he spent six months in Paducah
with his wife, being then in the in
surance business. He became i'll and
penniless and was taken home to
Canada to die, but later he recover
ed and went to st. Louis. His career
in the Future Great. as made public
at his trial, was most sensational,
and though it brought him great
wealth 1t quickly took wings after
his downfall came. His beautiful
wife. whose unfortunate death is
told above, also. from reports, had
career in st. Louis, but this has yet
to be made public to a large extent.

MAYOR YEISER'S DODGE.
viii Let His Summer Residence and
Become Boarder There.

Capt. Frank Brown, the wharfmas-
ter. is preparing to move into Mayor
Yeisers summer home Monday, but
may be deferred by the weather. The
mayor says he won't keep house
there this year, but will board with
Capt. Brown, who is his brother-in-
law. Some of the mayors friends are
twitting him about the matter, and
say that since he forced one of his
board of public works members, the
former secretary of the board Saun-
ders A. Fowler. to resign because he
removed his resldencesto the county,
that the mayor is afraid the same
question might be sprung on him, II
he should take up his residence
there this summer and probably
cause him some embarrassment.
The mayor boots at the idea though
and says 1t is more pleasant to board
than to keep house. He will find
some other housekeepers to agree
with him on that proposition.

OHI0'SANNUAL
RIVER RISING EVERYWHERE
AND FORTY FOOT STAGE
LOOKED FOR.
Not Expected Any Damage viii BE
Done, However-The Other
Rivers Rising.

The Ohio river has started on its
annual insurrection. as paragraph
er wittiTy expressed It a few days
ago, and unless the elements cease
their play of emotions and put II
down, there is likelihood of its
doing a great deal of damage.
fThe rains of the past month have
been plentiful and generous, and
there is water everywhere. All the
little streams are running over their
banks, and the rivers are receiving
their discharges. From Pittsburg to
the mouth of the Mississippi, this Is
the case. The Mississippi is also
rising rapidly now, and will soon be
backing up on the Ohio, so local
river men are looking for forty foot
stage here Forty feet is the DANCE,
line. but it is not Expected that the
river will go over this. IL was 29 6
today, and rising, but the crest of the
rise is not expected before the mid
die of next week.
Some local river authorities say
it will not go over 35 feet, while
many contend that 1t will surely
reach the 40 foot stage. Anyway,
precautions are being taken to pro-
tect river property whatever water
comes. The rainfall last night was
2 but it has been raining all day,
and it is general all over the Ohio
Valley, as we'll as the Mississippi.
