TRAGEDY STILL MYSTERY
No Light Thrown on the DUNCAN God
frey SHOOTING at Ottumwa,

fTey SnuotTng at OttuHWa.
Ottumwa, Aug 13.-The coroners
jury, which held an inquest yesterday
over the bodies of former Mayor Frank
DUNCAN and his father-in-law, George
Godfrey, returned a verdict saying
that DUNCAN killed Godfrey Friday,
and then shot himself. No cause for
the double tragedy was assigned. Mrs
DUNCAN still insists that her husband
must have been insane, but the gem
eral impression here is that the two
men quarreled over money matters. 1t
is known that Godfrey backed DUNCAN
in several business matters which
proved failures.

"I see the clouds reflected in the lake,

full of ruts and rocks and there would

 Captain John Sergeant Wise of the New York Bar. is noted speaker on political and after-dinner themes. He is the only living son of the old Ro- man.

Captain Wise was a boy of 1s at the Virginia Military Institute when General Shipp carried his Baby brood of wars red feathered nest" to Newmarket battle field. He was wounded there; went back as soon as well. and rose to a captaincy at IS, when Mir. Grant stop ped his rise.
 Captain Wise is @ Republican of the open-mouthed sort and his recent portrait of MT. Roosevelt as the Arch Egoist has thrown limelight upon the ''lrue inwardness" of third term fvity. But his heart is ever warm to the memories of old war days; and he Is one of the most silver-tongued ora tors of his Now York Camp. U. c. ".

HITCHCOCK IS UNHAPPY.

 lions "I'uiSe Fceler."

ttOn'S @HufAG rNGACAs Washington special 10 Baltimore sun.
 Frank A. Hitchcock of Massacnu- setts, First Assistant Postmaster 1eH- eraI, is very unhappy man. w " things contribute to ms unhapplness' In the first place, he is firmly convlhc- ed that, for reasons which Will De later explained, he will be forced 10 remain in Washington all through .he dog days" and in the second piace he is undecided whether to accept a transfer to the Treasury Department or remain indefinitely in his present po- sition. President Roosevelt ana foSt- master General Meyer want MT. Hltcn- cock to stay in the Postoffice Eepart- ment. Secretary Cortelyou is insistent that MT Hitchcock shall move over to the Treasury, taking tho position held by Assistant Secretary John Il |. Edwards of Ohio. who is expected to retire.
 The chief cause of MT. Hitchcook's unhappiness Is the persistency of the press in accepting him as the only au- thorized pulse feeler of the Roosevelt Hitchcock visited the South on postal business, he says. The gossips de- clared that he went into Dixie Land to size up the situation and report to the President. On his return MT. Hitchcock sent for the newspaper men and denied until he was blue in the face that his trip had anything to do with politics.
 NOI long ago tne dHnOuuCeHl6llL WdS made that MT. Hitchcock would soon invade the Middle West, and possibly extend his Journey to the Pacific slope Among the States included in his. itin- erary, it was explained, were Ohio, h. diana, Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri From Ohio came the sounds of wall ing and gnashing of teeth They ema- mated from Foraker men and Foraker newspapers.
 Mir. Hitchcock will get warm re- ception if he tries any vf bis pulse feeling business here," was a dispatch from Columbus.
 MT. Hitchcock's Luuntenance wore a sad smile as he perused the press re- port from Columbus, telling what would happen to him if ne showed up in those diggings.
 The announcement that the First As- sistant would visit Indiana almost pI G. cipitated a riot in that State. which Is supposed to be the principal political asset of Vice President Fairbanks.
 Let MT Hitchcock shinny on his own side" roared the managers of the Fairbanks boom. If he doesn't, hell get the worst of 1t.
 Well" sighed the First Assistant, ''has 1t come to pass that can not journey through the land of my birth without being cudgeled hv the press and criticised hv politicians?"
 So MT Hitchcock may throw up his present job and go to the Treasury; there to live a life of dignity and ease.

A Brilliant Charge by Custer as Seen

 The most brilliant charge I ever witnessed was made by Custer at the battle of Yellow Tavern" said an old Confederate cavalryman at the recent reunion in richmond, who Is quoted in The Washington Post. Tt was near the beginning of what historians now call the Wilderness campaign.
 T was with Job Stuart, General Fltz Lees division. Wickham's brigade and Phil Sheridan's troops were hanging on us like a pack of hungry wolves nipping us at every turn. We had been marching and fighting pretty steadily for more than two weeks, with mighty little time for rest.
 We left Hanover Junction about l o'clock one night, and reached Yellow Tavern before 10 o'clock the next morning. >You know Sheridan was not one to let grass grow under his feet when there was any fighting to be done, and when he was matched against Jeb Stuart 1t was nip and tuck
