It's interesting to Listen When a
Man Knows What He's Talk
Ing About.
BY giving series of three lectures
Rev. Geo. c. Williams will assist the
choir Of the First Congregational
church in raising its pledge for the
new church,
These lectures commence Friday
evening Of this week and the first will
be illustrated with eighty views of
the British Isles over which Mr.. VIII
liams has travelled several times. His
lecture Is expected to be interesting
and instructive. basing this expecta-
ton on the several interesting ad-
dresses with Illustrations made by
him last year and the year before.
Be 1t said here that trip to the
British Isles with the Rev. Williams
will bring the hearer and seer a great
deal nearer those historical shores
than one would think Scenes Of cas-
ties. abbeys, rural districts and other
places of world wide interest will be
shown.
It is naturally supposed that the
audience at the first of the choir's
benefit lectures will be largely attend
ed Friday night The seating capa-
city OF the church is between three
and four hundred A very reasonable
charge of fifty cents will be made for
the lecture and one may obtain a
season ticket for dollar. 1t is safe
to say that should one find it con-
venient to attend all three of the
lectures that they will be repaid five
times the price of admission for their
presence.

her husband was in this city, and
Judge Porterheld returned to the
Waldron home, arriving there
shortly after 9 o'clock this morn
ing.
Waldron, when he heard the
judge coming, entered closet
and locked the door, but was fin
ally persuaded to come out and
tell the judge the strange story of
his escape and wanderings.-
/ According to his statement, he
left his room at the hotel with the
idea of committing suicide, bust
ness worries and inconsistencies
having preyed upon his mind so
that he felt unable to bear it any
longer. When he reached the
river he changed his mind, and
went to Argentina, there taking
train for Emporia, Kan, where he
remained until yesterday after
noon, shaving off his mustache
and having his hair cut, so as not
to be recognized.
He then read that he was sup
posed to have committed suicide,
and, fearing the belief might kill
his wife, determined to return
home. He arrived here late yes
terday afternoon, visiting at the
home of friend, Mrs. Anna Nc
Garraugh. Mrs. McGarraugh'
tefephoned Mrs. Waldron, who
rushed over to see her husband.
The latter left, however, before
the wife reached the McGarraugh
home. Then Mrs. Waldron tele-
phoned Judge Porterheld that her
husband had returned.

MISSING JUROR RETURNS
=, HOMES ARRESTED

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. a.
Eighty-four hours after he climb
ed through the transom over the
door in his room at hotel and
escaped the custody of the deputy
marshal, Harry Waldron, the
missing Hyde juror, was brought
into court at II o'clock this morn
ing, pale and haggard from dodg-
ing the police of three cities. Ply
sicians declared he was undoubt-
edly insane.
Judge Porterfeld examined
Waldron, to determine whether
the jury should be discharged on
account of Waldron's mental con-
dition. Previous to the formal
examination Judge Porterfeld
said that if the man was insane
he would Immediately order a re-
trial of the entire case. He re-
fused to be quoted as to whether
Hyde had already been placed in
jeopardy of his life, and is, there
fore, entitled to his freedom.
Waldron walked calmly into
his home this morning, hung up
his hat, and asked if breakfast
was ready. A moment later the
police, through whose surround
ing Gordon he had walked unmo-
Tested, entered and arrested him.
The first news of Waldron's
whereabouts since his escape was
received last night, when Mrs.
Waldron notified Judge Porter
field that her husband was in
Kansas City. Thinking she meant
Kansas City, Kan, the judge
jumped into a taxicab and dashed
