Just Couldn't Help Stealing.

Chicago.-Mrs. Evelyn Romadake,
divorced wife of millionaire manu-
facturer of Milwaukee, now serving
a term In the Joliet prison for bur-
glary, probably will be released next
month.
Friends of her family at Fond du
Lac and Oshkosh, Wis, have inter-
ested themselves in her behalf and
will make formal application for
her parole when the State pardon
board meets in September. Assistant
States Attorney Rowe, who brought
about her conviction, has recon-
mended her release. &
Mrs. Romadka was living at a
fashionable hotel here, when jewels
belonging to society friends began to
disappear. The woman was arrested
and confessed that, disguised as a
maid, she had made a practice of
robbing the homes of rich people.
At the time of her conviction, Mrs.
Romadka said in public statement:
81 am utterly bad. I don't want
to steal, but I can't help it. There
is something in me which makes me
do the things which I know are
wrong. I shall 60 to the peniten-
tiary and die there. That is best"
Mrs. Romadka also confessed that
she began her career of robbery at
the grand ball rendered to Prince
Henry of Prussia when he was in
Chicago.

Against Negro Lodges.

The negro lodges of secret orders,
especially the knights Of Pythias,
are very much disappointed at the
action of the Georgia legislature in
ordering the lodges Of the State to
stop the use of the names of those
orders. There are a number of these
colored knights of Pythias in the
city. The lodges are in a 1ourishing
condition, and the enrolment in
them very large.
The white members of the
Knights, since the passage of the
bill, have determined to have it en-
forced. It is understood that action
will be taken against them to see
that the names do not remain the
same. These names will have to be
changed, but the white lodges will
make it their business to see that
it is done as soon as possible.
The white members of the lodges
are anything but disappointed at the
outcome of the bill, for they have
disliked the presence of these color
ed lodges standing under the same
name, and for a long time have tried
to make measures effective against
them.-Augusta Chronicle.

To Convert Republicans.

Anderson, Aug. 27.-ln the course
of his address before the Red Shirt
crowd here yesterday, Senator Till
man said that the chief object Of
his making addresses before. north
ern audiences was to convert enough
Republican congressman and sena-
tors to assist him in repeating the
18th amendment. He said that fire.
quently after he. concludes his ad-
dresses prominent persons from his
audiences come to him to say that
the conditions in the south have been
grossly misrepresented, and that the
northern people have not correct
idea of the true conditions in the
south. He said further that many
of his hearers have said to him that
if more southerners like him would
make addresses in the north the peo-
pie of the north would get clearer
conception of the conditions as they
exist.

Would Steal Garbriel's Horn.

A. K. Adiar, the western detec-

crime whereupon he had failed.

said Mr.. Adair apologetically, "for
having failed on this Cleveland
matter. The Cleveland crooks, you
know, are the best in the busi-

He relighted the stub of his ci-
gar. ..
"You know what John B. Cough
said about Cleveland" he continu-

MYSTERY IN ASSAULT CASE.
Unusual Affair Reported in Aiken
County.

Unusual Affair Reported in Aiken
County.
Aiken, Aug. 30.-An unusual case
has Just been reported to the officers
of this county. 1t is alleged that
Friday afternoon negro attempted
to criminally assault the wife Of a
prominent farmer residing about
eight miles from Aiken. The officers,
as soon as it was reported, sent depu-
ties to the scene, but very little
could be learned of the case.
It is alleged that Friday after
noon, in the absence of the hus-
band, an aged lady was attacked by
an unknown negro, while she was a
short distance from the house, and
that her clothing was badly torn,
but that be failed in his attempt.
It is said that the lady screamed,
and soon had colored man work
ing nearby at her assistance, where
upon the assailant ran, and made
his escape. The case was not report
ed lat the time. The husband did
not return home until, it is said,
about sundown, and neither said any,
thing of the matter until Saturday,
and it was not generally known until
today that anything had occurred out
of the ordinary, even persons resid-
ing in the immediate neighborhood,
when asked by your correspondent
today, did not know of the matter,
or had just heard something about
it, Under these circumstances 1t is
impossible to give a definite story
of the matter.
So far as has been learned there
is absolutely no excitement or much
interest in the matter.

Woman Defends Her Home.

Aiken, Aug. 30.-A very bold act,
which occurred Saturday night, or
rather Sunday morning, became
known today. A miscreant. who is
unknown entered the residence OF
MIR. and Mrs. H. K. Chatfeld, in this
city, and even after being fred at
once with a revolver by Mrs. Chat
field, continued to remain in the
house, advanced toward the chamber
of Mrs. Chatfield, and was only turn
ed by being fired at again.
Early in the morning Mrs. Chat
field was awakened by sounds in the
house. A door was heard to slam,
and other noises were loudly made,
the person evidently not making any
attempt to conceal his presence in
the house. Mr.. ChatfieId, who is af-
ficted, also heard the noises. Mrs.
Chatfeld secured her revolver, and
in order to frighten the party, whom
she saw in the doorway, fred at
random. The man halted for a Sec
ond, then continued to advance in
the direction of Mrs. Chatfield. See
ing the boldness and evidently de-
termined disposition of the burglar,
Mrs. Chatfeld aimed her revolver
pointedly at the man, and again
fired. This time the man turned
and deliberately walked out, slam
ming the door after him. The mat
ter was instantly reported, and some
colored people first came to the
house and some white friends were
sent for.
It is believed that the act was COM
mitted by a negro. The police are
closely looking into the matter, and
they are sure that the identity of
the man is known, as certain
strange negro, who is suspected, has
disappeared from the city and can
not be found.

TOUCHED WIRE AND DIED.
Experiment of North Carolina Boy
Ends Fatally.


Charlotte, N. c., Aug. S.-Harvy
Ritchie, 20 years old, climbed into
one of the big transmission towers
of the Southern Power company, at
Albemarel, Stanley county, this after
noon, to ascertain if he could get a
shock by touching the wires. AS
the youth touched the deadly wires
his feet bursted from the terrific cur
rent that entered his body, and he
dropped to the ground, dead. The
tower is one of the series of steel
structures employed by the Southern
Power company to transmit elec-
trical energy from the Catawba river
stations, in this county, to the mills
of the Piedmont section, and the
wires carry eighty thousand volts.

GIRLS SPANKED THE PREACHER.
Just as a Joke, But They Laid it on
Pretty Heavy.

The Rev. Howard w. Benedict, a
popular young preacher of East
Norwalk, was in bed and in pain last
evening, says a South Norwalk dis
patch to the New York World, when
he should have been conducting the
Union Congregational and Methodist
tent meeting in Westport, and all
because some young women friends
spanked him too hard Saturday night
in celebration of his birthday. The
Rev. Mr.. Howard is able to get up
and be out this afternoon, but 1t will
be some days before he eats his
meals elsewhere than from the man
telpiece.
It was no gentle birthday taps that
were administered to Mr.. Benedict.
They were good, sound cracks from
barrel slaves. Many of the young
women admirers of the young divine
wished to remember him with slip
pers and other similar "honey" gifts
upon his birthday, but all in vain,
for Mr.. Benedict resisted all insinua-
tions and questions which pertained
to the date of his birth.
BY a ruse and the town records
the desired information was finally
obtained, but by this time the zeal Of
the young women took on a little
rancor. They accordingly obtained
barrel slaves from the L'Hommedieu
grocery and waited in the shade of a
tree for Mr.. Benedict to pass.
The young minister had too much
respect for the sex to use force to
bring about a suspension of the
birthday remembrance, and he was
too dignified to run, 80 he took it for
the most part where his mother ap-
piled it in childhood days, but the
effect was more pronounced and last
ing.
Witch hazel, arnica and other
pain killers were applied in the hope
that he might get to that meeting
Sunday, but all in vain. He was too
sore to pray, preach or sit down.

TORTURED BY INSECTS.
Man Left Bound to a Tree for Forty
eight Hours.

Gulport, Miss, Aug. 30.-Lumber-
men assembled here tonight report
that three highwaymen held up an
employe of the Ingram-Day Lumber
company, near Nugent, two days ago
and after robbing him of $40, tied
him securely to tree in the woods.
In order to silence him while they
were making good their escape they
stuffed his mouth full of paper and
rags and then left.
The man remained in this position
for almost 4S hours and when acci-
dentally discovered today was in a
pitiful condition. Without food or
water and suffering agony from the
numerous bites of gnats and mosQui-
toes it was several hours before he
could even be partially revived.

advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal Of camp meeting

your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that ] ought

not benefit you take the empty

Held School Election.

School election was held Saturday
in District No. 63. Entiat Fruit Lands.
The election was called for the pur-
pose of changing the school site but
the change was defeated by vote of
IL to keep it where it was and IS to
move it, but inasmuch as the change
requires a tWo-thirds vote the new
building will be erected on the site
as voted upon last spring. S. L.
Packwood last spring agreed to give
a site for the new building but during
the summer some opposition has
arisen and the election Saturday was
called to vote to change the location
to the Barker property, the district
to pay $500 for the new site. This
was defeated and the new $1,000
building will be erected on the Pack
wood site at once. Miss Barker is
the teacher and has been holding a
school in the church.

Trial of the suit of H. W. Mangold
against the Adrian Irrigation COM

Sullivan and a jury in the superior
court yesterday. Mangoli demands
100000 damages as result of what
he charges was a scheme to defraud
him.
He alleges that c. F. Berlet con-
tracted to purchase 2773 acres of
land in Douglas county from o e.
Loving and M. r. Mcmahon. The
plaintiff contracted to buy the land
from Berlet The irrigation COM

Mahon Irrigation systems have been

The company asserts that plaintiff

to buy Berlet's interest. 1t is denied
that there was fraud on the part of
