WAS NO VIOLENCE.
Evident that Death of Miss Bischer
Was Due to Natural Causes.

The death of Mss Mary -Bischer, the
aged woman who was found dead in
the howell which she made her home, is
now thought to be due to heart trou-
Bile. Although she had fallen from her
bed, and was lying face downward i'll
the floor, no signs of struggle were
found, and no wounds or Commissions
which would cause death on her body.
1t is probable that the woman died
Saturday night or Sunday although
The body was not found until Tuesday
noon.
Some talk of probable violence has
been INDUCED in by persons who know
of her troubles with neighbors,
The old woman lived the life of a re-
cluse in the little shanty in the rear
of the new cottage she built last year.
The location of the place Is about 100
school house. The cottage IN the.
front end of her lot is not occupied,
and was found securely locked by the
officers who investigated They dis
covered the key in the shanty where
the body was found. and examined
the interior of the new house. which
was filled with furniture and other
household goods, but not ar
no evidence of having been disturbed.
The shanty where Miss Bischer's body
was found contained nothing of value,
and was filled with old rags, which
books were found. but-non of them
contained money, and the shanty bore
no evidence of having been searched
by thieves.
and has lived in Topeka for@the past 20
years. She was q nurse and hair dress
er by profession, and, was known In
this capacity by some OF the best fan1t-
lies of the city. To some of them she
confided her affairs. Her father was
wealthy farmer of Monticello Ind, and
she inherited a farm near Eskrtdge from
him and a house at Eskridge, but she
sold this six, years ago, and bought
home in North Topeka The flood of
1903 washed her home away, and it was
during this flood that she contracted
rheum tism, from which disease she
has suffered since that time.
After the flood she purchased the
lot in Highland Park, and lived in the
little shanty in the summer. moving to
town and taking room for the winter
months. She was in the city last Fri
day hunting room, but did not rent
one. 5es ~
Miss Bischer conf1ded to some of her
patrons that she could not get along
with people, and had to live alone.
She also said that she did not know
any of her neighbors in Highland
Park, and didn't want to know them
as they called her an old maid. The
neighbors vouch for this, as none of
them knew her.
The recluse spent little money, and
saved continually, for the purpose, as
she told one lady who employed her as
a hair dresser, of founding a home for
working girls, where they could be
kept away from the evil Influences of
Coroner H. H. Keith held an autopsy
on the body of Miss Bischer this morn
ing. and decided that her death was

body.

Tonight.

There is to be meeting of the
Peoples Lobby at the Copeland mo-
tel this evening for therpurpose OF en-
dorsing a candidate for speaker OF the
house of representatives.
About So business men from various
parts of the state are expected to at
tend. and the expectation is that the
candidacy of G. A. Stannard of Lyon
county will be endorsed.
]. S. George, of Hutchinson, who

erS in the meeting to be held To-Day
He said this morning:
81 have sent invitations to a num-
Der of the representative business men
of the state, asking them to meet here
today do not expect that more than
The platform of this meeting is short.
It is this: Against railroad domina-
ton We believe that it is very i'm
portant that the house should be or
ganized on a business basis -
For this reason we are opposed to
J. S. Simmons of Lane county for
speaker. Simmons is the local attor-
neY at Dighton for the Santa Fe rail-
way; he is backed by all the railroad
element; ard while he may not be I'M
der pledges to railroads. the influences
which are trying to elect him are un-
doubtedly the railroad interests.
81 am for Stannard for speaker be-
cause he is and has been a consistent
friend of the shippers of Kansas.
Stannard will have 81 votes on the
first ballot for speaker, more than
either of the other candidates. I be-
lieve that STANDARDS election is sure
Are you in favor of organizing the
house without a caucus?'' was asked.
ct have nothing to say on that pro-
position,'s replied Mr.. George. ~
Mr.. George stated that. those in
vited to attend the meeting are all
shippers who are not politicians for
business. and that the meeting tonight
will probably be secret.

to the Force.

Alton. Ill. Jan. 2.-Orders were is
sued to the police today by Chief Max
we'll to shoot Washers who annoy wo-
men on the streets and attempt to es-
cape arrest.
The order followed an unsuccessful
attempt by Chief Maxwell to hit a
masher at whom he fired. The chief
chased the masher two blocks, and
because the latter failed to obey the
command to halt two bullets were sent
after him. without effect other than
to increase his speed.
The chief then issued the general
shooting order and said he hoped his
men would be better marksmen.

TWO STORIES OUT.
Coroner's Jury Will Try to Fix Blarle
for Terra Gotta Wreck.

Washington, Jan. Am endeavor
to determine the cause and fix the re-
sponsibility for the Terra Gotta wreck
of Sunday night on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad began this morning at
the district morgue- The coroner's jury
yesterday visited the scene of the
wreck More than fifty witnesses have
been summoned. The principal point
of contention developed is whether the
proper signals were displayed at Tako-
ma, a station in the middle of the
block in which the accident happened.
The operator in charge of this station
Saws his signals were get rcd which, if
they had been observed by the en-
gfneer of the dead train would have
obviated the collision. The engineer
of this train rlaiutains there were no
signals at Takoma-

OFFERS STORK BONUS.
Chicago Unions to Pay 500 for Each
Child Born to Members.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-PreSident Roosevelt
anti-race-suicide theories are to receive
the hearty endorsement of Chicago
union labor. An organization is being
perfected which will place premium
on child birth. One hundred dollars Is
to be paid to the wife of each member
of the organization at the birth of a
child. Should the stork leave twins at
the home of the union man the pTem-
um will be raised to $3.50 and $500 will
be paid cheerfully in the event of trip
lets. seq
There is a twofold purpose, in the OBJ
ject of the proposed beneficiary organi-
zation, one of which is to insure the
father and mother of a stated sum at a
time when it is greatly needed, and the
other is one which has back of 1t
purely union principles-to remove wo-
men from the field of labor, and place
her where she rightfully belongs, IN
e~ home.
There are many single union men
working alongside union women who
would marry if they felt they could at
ford to accept the responsibilities that
go with the rearing of a family, said
one interested union man yesterday.
with the women taken from the field
places will be open for men at better
wages That is one vital problem which
we believe can be solved in no other
way. In order to take women out OF
the labor field the men must marry
them and furnish them homes.
There has been lot Of talk and
great deal of stuff printed on the race
suicide question. We do not have that
question in mind so much as to provide
union men, who are not overwhelmed
with money, with an ample sum at
time when it is needed. We have our
beneficial organizations which pay
money in case of death and why not
one which will provide money at the
time of a birth?''
The formation of such an organiza-
ton is being seriously considered by
members of the Bakers and Connection
&c he fr7fn Ion r
make it a purely local association, but
to extend its membership benefits over
the entire country. Thousands of union
men, it is believed would be glad of
the opportunity of joining such an as
ISOLATION. 1t is believed that small
fee at the time of joining and dues of
so cents a month, or even less, would
be ample to carry out the project. Birth
rate statistics and insurance rate sche-
dulles are being studied in an effort to
work out a feasible plan under which
the association may be conducted. When
the promoters have all the details figur-
ed out the project will be launched.
