permanent.
HE HAD YIELDED
TO WANDERLUST
Left His Home in Chicago, and
Travelled Through the
West.

SIOUX CITY. Iowa, March 11.-Rela-
tives of walter r Schultz, the former
Chicago artist, who was found dead
near Alexandria, Va, with his throat
cut, scout the theory of suicide and
declare their belief that he was muir
dered These relatives say that al
though the young artist acted strangely
al times, this WAS due TO Bohemian
HABITS. and the responsibility Of
genius.
They are much disturbed that the sui
eide theory has been even considered,
because. tney aver. he wrote home regu-
larry and none Of lis letters gave the
least indication of dependency, OF dis
satisfaction in the slightest degree.
4 little more than year ago, re-
spending to the call of wanderlust.
Schultz left home for a long trip with
easel and palette. He went first 10
Denver, where he worked for time in
an art store, while ne painted scenery
of the picturesque region Whereabouts
al odd times.
Goes to Pacific Coast.
Then he drifted on out TO the Pacific
coast, stopping wherever his fancy die
tated, and picking up ideas and making
sketches on the way. He spent most OF
TIE winter in California, and took trip
through Oregon and Up into British
Columbia.
With the Inauguration As his goal,
tS-nultz came East by the Southern
route. He stopped for time in New
Orleans and there did considerable
work Some four weeks ago he wrote
from New Orleans to his sister, Mrs.
Almore Gillette, that he was going TO
Washington She thinks he arrived in
Washington two or three weeks ago,
although she heard nothing definite from
him after the New Orleans letter. He
never gave any street address, but al
ways had his mail directed 10 the gem

Members OF Schultz's family think il
strange that the Washington police have
not been able TO locate his boarding
place. since he must have been in the
city some days before his body Was
found near Alexandria Tney think
some light conld be shed on the case il
Ink trunk could be found.
Was Born in Chicago.
Schultz was born in Chicago in 1870
the son OF Q. +. Schultz From child
hood he was different from othel

manifested itself in artistic endeavor

The Missouri Idea Spreading.

Last season at our State Corn Show
former sweepstakes and first prize
winners at former shows We barred
from entering Ger ain classes, in or
der that amateurs might have a
chance. 1t worked admirably, and
only one man raised any objection,
so 1t did not hurt any. AT the Nat
iOnal Show at Omaha, TO be held
from Dec. 9th to 18th a similar rule
has been passed. Heretofore a few
men have been permitted to carry
off most everything in sight and that
will be prevented this time, and any
man who has good corn stands
chance.
Instead of one $1,000 cash prize as
heretofore there will be three in
stead, one on white corn, one on yell
low, and one on any color than white
or yellow.
Exhibits must be in the hands of
the committee at Omaha, Neb., by
November 26th that all may be ready
when the show opens opens on the
9th of December.

The marriage of Miss Mary Louise
Temple and Mr.. James Latimer Bruce
of Joplin was solemnized Wednesday
afternoon at $50 o'clock at the home
of the BRIDES uncle, DR. N. B. Payne,

The Invitations we're limited to a

party entered to the strains of the
bridal chorus, played by Miss Louise
Chandler, the principals being ac-
complained by their attendants, Mr..
Stuart Bruce. brother Of the groom
and Miss Lucy Mary Payne, cousin of
the bride. The couple then stood be-
fore the improvised altar of pink
carnations and sweet peas while Rev.

ceremony of the ring. Immediately
after the conclusion of the ceremony
an elegant banquet was served to
the bridal couple, the attendants and
guests.

ngtOn. Damage is Slight.

For the first time in years Lexing-

day OF seeing Areal live tornado; in
fact, two Of iems About 7:3O cloud
over the Sunshine bottoms began
to twist and dip 1t struck the
ground ana headed directly for the
pump house; but after crossing the
river it turned towards Myrick. Mean
while another tornado had formed
between Myrick and wellington and
the two met near the foot of the hill.
After cavorting around a bit they
hit the bluff and dispersed.
For tornadoes, the clouds behaved
comparatively well. A number of
tress were torn up by the roots, a
barn was picked up and turned over,
the ice house near Hoffmans pond
was considerably damaged; the old
Catholic church received a slight
injury. No persons were hurt, though
a great many were frightened.
Willow twigs we're picked up on the
bar and distributed all over west

THIRD TO RAY HERD
Richmond Cops Telling Game in Easy
Fashion by a Score of 10 tO5.

The Richmond Elks made their
comrades from this side look like a
bald headed man at herpicide con-
ventiou-mighty lonesome-and strang-
led Thursdays game, the last and de-
Gliding one of the series, without
much effort by the count of 10 to 5.
Richmond presented the strongest
aggregation of ball tossers that it
has ever put into the field against
this burg aud the Lexingtonians were
outlucked, outhit, outplayed, out
felded and put out most of the time.
Richmond came over determined to
win and they won, so they have no
kick coming whatever.
The game was nothing but a big
bunch of excitement all the way
through. A robust crowd had turn
ed out expecting to see magnif-
cient exhibition of the national pas
time. When things we're going de-
cldedly hard with the home team
these faithful fans were still OPP
timistic and stuck to the fastly
sinking ship. Butts it didn't do any
good.
The Lexington fauna started out
badly and did not improve. The first
few innings we're played quickly and
it looked like a good game was on
the books. 1t is true that Lexington
was fielding the ball like so many
paper sacks but good work in the tox
kept the score down. Lexington
scored two in the second, Isy Gratz
being responsible for both the runs.
Richmond scored her first in the
third, and it was an unearned run.
Brockman was pitching good ball,
but his fiielders were doing wretched-
". In the fourth, Richmond scored
three more and still not an earned
run. The errors by the locals had
piled up to ten and Brockman became
discouraged and quit, Isy Gratz
eudeavored to FIJI the hole and his
shoots bewildered the Raytown
batters for time They fell for
him in the seventh, however, and four
more hits brought in 8 runs. Jarboe
Terhune relieved Isy in the eighth.
Lexington scored its fourth run in
the sixth and its fifth tally In the
ninth That was all. Richmond
earned two runs and accepted the
other 8 as presents. The locals made
Is errors and planted hits. Rich.
mond made three bobbles and got
away with 8 slams.
