GLORY FOR DEAD.
Memorial to Pennsylvania Sol
dierS at Gettysburg Dedicated.
Five Thousand Veterans Present
at the Ceremony.
GEN. SICKLES THERE.
Gallant Warrior Who Lost Leg
on Battlefield Speaks.
Name of Every Pennsylvania in
Battle, on Tablet.

Gettysburg, Sept. 27.-In the presence
of a large assemblage the memorial to
the Pennsylvania soldiers who fought
at Gettysburg July 1. and 8, 1863, was
dedicated today.
Among the throng were nearly 5000
veterans of the civil war from this
state.
No display, or ostentation marked the
ceremonies. There was no parade, nor
salute. The veterans went to the scene
singly or in groups. The only touch
of the spectacular was given when the
students from Gettysburg college
marched to the memorial carrying their
college colors.
General H. S. Huidekoper, president
of the memorial commission, made the
Governor Stuart, representing the state.
James w. Latta, of Philadelphia, for
the infantry; Major General D. McM.
Gregg of Reading, for the cavalry and
Captain James A. Gardner of Newcas-
tie for the artillery.
Short speeches also were made by
Major General Sickles, Wilson, Cham
berlain and others.
The Pennsylvania memorial which
was erected at a cost of $140 900 is the
most imposing monument on the battle
field of Gettysburg.
The most interesting feature of the
memorial is the recording of tablets of
bronze placed on the granite facade
about the foot of the memorial of the
name of every Pennsylvania who
fought at Gettysburg.

MAY SUE THE KATY.
Railroad Men Arrested for Wreck
Blame Rival Line.

Burlington, Kan, Sept. 27.-It is re-
ported here that s. j. Edsall and Fred
Poyner will sue the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Railway company for dam
ages because of their arrest on the
charge of criminal carelessness grow
ing out of the collision between the
Katy passenger train and the Missouri
Pacific freight train on which they
were engineer and head brakeman, re-
spectively-
A jury in district court here Satur-
day acquitted Edsall of the charge of
mansIaughter, and the case against
Poyner doubtless will be dismissed.
They claim that the Katy was respon-
sible for their arrest and that the
wreck was the fault of the Katy en-
ginemen instead of them.
The railroads never have been able
to reach an agreement as to which
road was responsible and that is inn
portant as it will determine which of
the roads must pay the costs of the
wreck. amounting it is said, to more
than 100000.

USED A HORSEWHIP.
Wife Tries This Means to Recover
Recreant Husband.

Salina, Kan, Sept. 27.-Social cir
cleS were given a severe shock here
when it became known that Mrs. Will
liam Shifflet, the wife of an Atchison
travelling man, went to the home of
Mrs. M. E. Stindel Sunday, and, draw
ing a horsewhip from under her cloth
ing, administered a whipping to Mrs.
Stindel in the presence of two police
men, who accompanied her, at her re-
quest. to get her husband, whom she
had traced to the house.
The officers stopped the f1ogging
after Mrs. Stindel had received several
blows about the face and neck. The
three were taken before the county at
torney, who, when Mrs. Shiff1et de-
clined to swear to a complaint against
her husband, dismissed legal proceed
ure.
Mrs. Shiff1et, upon entering the house
with the police, found her husband in
bed. The police had to force the door,
and, while they were doing this, Mrs.
Shiff1et spied the object of her wrath
in the kitchen and rushed upon Mrs.
Stindel with the whip.
The two women were schoolmates in

YES, FALL IS HERE.
Another Frost Tonight With Cold,
Clear Atmosphere.

Encouraged with his prediction
that we would have frost last night,
Jupiter Jennings, the weather man,
comes out in the State Journal tonight
with the same story-another light
frost tonight.
If the weather stays clear-and it
will because there aren't enough
clouds in the sky to make a haze on
a mirror-Mr. Jennings says that the
frost may be heavier than that wit
messed by the 'early risers" this
morning.
Th. temperature at $50 this morn
ing was the coldest this fall-and sum-
mer. 1t went down as far as 40 and
did not begin to rise until about 8
o'clock. At that time it jumped to 40
degrees.
The wind is blowing-or rather
breathing-at the rate Ell 4 miles an
hour from the southeast. This is a
regular pleasant summer breeze. At
2 o'clock this afternoon with the aid
of the sun the wind had pushed the
thermometer to the 65 mark-and
was still going when last seen.

FROST IN TOPEKA.
Not Heavy Enough to Injure the Late
Corn.

A light frost nipped Topeka early
this morning when the mercury sank
to 40 degrees. Early risers found a
thin white coating in many places and
foliage wore a crimped and bedrag-
gled appearance. The weather bureau
reports light frost over the entire
eastern section of the state and as far
south and west as Dodge City.
Brown county reports q much heav-
ier frost. According to advices from
the weather department, however, the
frost has not been heavy enough to
damage corn. Most of the corn cror
has matured sufficiently to be past
injury, but there are many late fields
which would be affected by a severe
cold snap. With the rise of the sun
the thermometer began to register z
rapid climb and the day promises tC
be as hot as the night was cold.

The legend that statesmen are
punctually late applied with equal
force today to the leaders of the old
guard and the progressives who gather
ed tardily at the opening of the Re

delegates or the spectators, who swarm

convention hall. filed all the seats and
overhowed into the aisles.
The word had gone forth that the
old guard were beaten in their fight to
elect Vice President Sherman, the tenn

ed for the fireworks. Col Roosevelt
was the first to come. His appearance
started rounds of applause. Shortly af-
ter Vice President Sherman took his
seat and the demonstration shook the
building for several minutes. William
Barnes, Jr., the old guard leader came
in for salvos of applause.
