4 LONG ROLL
OF TRAGEDIES
Marked Career of Persons
Connected With
death OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
AStrange Fatality Seemed 10
Follow Them Always
Throughout Life.
BAD TROUBLE TILL THE END

Through the suicide of a fine old
soldier who was buried here to-day,
another name has been added to the
oil OF tragedies which have marked
the end of several persons connected
with the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln and the capture of his STAY
er, John Wilkes Booth. The name
is that of John F. Stanley, an in
mate of the Soldiers Home in Vine
land, who killed himself in lodging
house in Commerce street, this city,
last week, having despaired of his eff
fort to conquer his craving for Ii
luor.
Not until to-day was it known
here that Stanley was one of the
onen who captured Booth. He also
mad an interesting Civil War record,
as shown by newspaper clippings and
other documents produced by his
wife. She lives with a daughter at
No. I Seventh street, Passaic, and
with the daughter came here to-day
TO attend the funeral.
From April go to April 26, 1865,
STANLEY was a member of the detach-
ment. under Lieutenant f. B. DOher-
ay, which embarked on the steamer
John B. Ode in Belle Plain, crossed
The Rappahannock river and traced
Booth and Herold to CARROTS farm.
There Herold was arrested and
Booth was shot. Stanley was a
member of the party which brought
Booths body back TO Washington
and turned Herold over to the Pro-
Vost Marshal.
1t would seem as If a strange ia
tality had been in store for those
who witnessed the tragedy of April
IA, 1865, or were present at the cap
. ture and death of the assassin.
Among the names on the list is that
oI Mrs. Lincoln, who never recovered
from the shock and went out of her
mind before death relieved her suf-
Terings. More recently, Major Hen

IN an insane asylum in Germany.
tie was confined after he killed his
wife. formerly Clara Harris. With
her he was a guest in the Presidents
5ox on the night of the assassina-
ton
Sergeant Boston Corbett, who
shot Booth as he came out of the
blazing barn, died in a madhouse in
Kansas, after he had developed
mania to kill himself. Laura Keene,
the actress, who helped to care for
the wounded President, never re-
EEined her old spirit after the trag-
~edy.
Sill another whose name may be
mentioned in connection with that
OF Stanley and the rest, is Oliver W.
* locke. He was connected with the
.sOEarnment service during the war,
ana ON the night of the assassina-
tioH was in Ford's Theater and sat
close TO the stage. When Booth

ARKANSAS COURT HOLDS
UNION OF CHURCHES LEGAL

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 20.-The
State Supreme Court has finally set
tied the famous Presbyterian Church
Union case for Arkansas by denying
a rehearing in the case of Sanders
rs. Baggerly. involving the question
of legality of the union between the
Presbyterian Church U. S. A., and
the Cumberland PresbyterianChurch,
as voted by their assemblies in 1906.
The court holds the union legal and
that all property in the State form
erly held by the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church reverts to the Pres
byterian Church, U. S. A.
Many Cumberland congregations
throughout the State had attacked
the validity of the 1905 merger, and
church property valued at $1,000
900 involved, including GAINESVILLE
College, a Cumberland institution.

Women Farmers.

Almost a million women in the
United States are either farmers or
farm laborers. Thanks to the pop
ularity of the homestead in the west,
and to a belated appreciation of ag-
riculture as a field for woman's in
dustry, this number is rapidly in
creasing. The United States, how
ever, has not gone so far in this re-
spect as England. There, In the
dairy sections, women have entire
control Of the herds, not only the
butter-making, but the milking and
feeding. In France nearly 100000
women are engaged in farm work,
while in most of the countries of
continental Europe the finer breeds
of cattle are mainly the result of
woman's efforts.

NEIGHBoR IS ARRESTED

Jail on Suspicion of Having
Committed the
Crime.
Especial to The Gate City.J

KAHOKA, Mo, Sept a1-Tuesday
morning the sad news was received
in Kahoka conveying the intelligence
that VIM. Daggs, an aged citizen and
widower. living near Luray, had been
shot, and many stories we're afost
as TO the causes. II seems that on
Monday Mr.. Daggs and his hired hand
were out fixing fences when he heard
his dog barking, and took his Slot gun
and started for the scene. A few mo-
ments later the hired hand heard the
report OF a gun. and having finished
his work started in the same direction
in which his employer had taken, and
in a short time found him breathing
his last, with a gunshot wound in lis
chest. Neighbors were quickly sum
moned and the coroner notified. a
jury was empaneled which returned
verdict that deceased had come 10
his death from a charge from shot
gun in the hands of party unknown.
Living neighbor TO the deceased
was Thomas Rowe. 1t was known
that the deceased and Rowe had quar-
relied over division fence, and sus-
picion was at once turned on him.
He was arrested and brought TO ka-
hoka to await preliminary hearing,
which has been set for Friday. Sept
80, before Squire Lapsley. of kahoka
There is a report current, inverted,
to the effect that Daggs had on sew
oro1 occ. iops threatened rhe life of
Rowe. Mr.. Rowe, the accused. ap-
pears to bear a good reputation, a7d
his friends are loath to believe that
he took the life of his neighbor with
out good cause.
When the deceased was found he
had dropped to his knees, with BIS
face on the ground, with his shot gun,
with one hammer cooked, lying IN
derneath him.
The affair is an unfortunate one
and deeply regretted by all.

VIVID FLASHES IN A
BRIGHT BLUE HAZE

New York-Alice Roosevelt Long
worth has fired a nation with a cigar
cite. The girl who put tack on a
chair in the house of representatives;
who, fully clothed, Owed into tank
of water on board a Ship who threw
herself astride stone elephant at the
grave of Korean empress; who sang
"Tammany" and climbed tree in Vel
lowstone park; who vaulted the rail
ing around the White House in Wash
ington; who will not wear wedding
ring, and who runs her own motor
and rides her horse as though she
were part Of it-with bit of rice pa
per and pinch of tobacco has set the
tongues of 100000 million people
clacking. Is there any other woman
in the world, except just Alice Roose-
welt Longworth, daughter of her fa-
Their, who could start so much smoke
with so little fire? The queen of Eng
land might eat tobacco with less fear
of comment than Roosevelt causes
by smoking it.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
to me that for the sake Of other suffer
ing women ! am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter. MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY,
R.F D., Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, f1broid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it Is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period Of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says,i it is worth noun
tains Of gold " to suffering women.

OFFICIALS ARE AROUSED
Went Aboard Mauritania and Spent
the Whole Night Going Through
Effects of Passengers.

New York-Indignant protests
have been maze by the passengers Of
the liner Mauretania, including many
prominent persons, over the night
search of the liners cabins started on
her arrival here. With seven men,
Special Agent Wall ransacked every
stateroom in the belief that valuables
not declared would be given by some
passengers to members of the crew
and claimed later, the duty thus being
avoided.
Acting deliberately, the searchers
routed out the 4o2 hrst-class and 43Z
second-class passengers, many being
compelled to leave their beds
This smuggling raid, the most sem
sational ever attempted by the Gus
toms authorities at New York, was
decided upon by Collector of the Port
Loeb, it is said, following the discov-
cry several days ago of an empty jew
ell case and bill for jewelry in the
stateroom of German liner.
1t was learned at the custom house
that the search was made in an at
tempt to get a trace of diamonds
worth $750,000, smuggled out of South
Africa by women.
No warning was given the officials
of the Cunard line. The raiders board
ed the liner at quarantine, and then
the search was begun. All told, 1874
passengers on the liner were subjected
to the drastic treatment
No excuse was accepted, the agents
insisting on admission to the state
rooms. There the bedding was ram
