DIDN'T NURSE Her.
:. .Devie Hegwer. Topeka's NIaligner,
Neglected Mrs. Rhodes.

There is another chapter in the
story about Dewie Hegwer. the girl
from Middle Creek, Chase county.
who caused the Topeka Commercial
club so much worry by sending out
fairy stories about the smallpox cpl
demic in Topeka. Dewie admitted to a
State Journal reporter this week that
she had written the Sunflower Pro-
lection club letters, and gave as a
reason that she thought it was her
duty to protect the stssAe at large She
had nursed Mrs. Carl Rhodes of To-
peka during the latter's fatal illness
from smallpox in Chase county. But
now it develops that Miss Hegwer did
not nurse Mrs. Rhodes at all. She
was merely confined by quarantine In
the Russell house where Mrs. Rhodes
lay sick.
Dewie was deadly afraid Of the
smallpox, and while she is a trained
nurse, yet she would not care for Mrs
Rhodes. The mother and husband of
Mrs. Rhodes went from Topeka to
care for her. Dewie Hegwer was in
the Russell home near Elk, Chase
county, to take care of the members
of the Russell family who were i'll
with tonsilitis
Another startling fact in this con-
nection is that Mrs. Rhodes would
have likely recovered from the small
pcx had she not taken i'll from tonsi-
litis while visiting in the Russell fam
lly- Complications set in from the
sore throat. The smallpox attacked
the weakest place and the victim sue
cumbed from both diseases.
Mrs. Ida NJ Neville of 1911 East
Sixth street, mother of Mrs. Carl
Rhodes, today told the State Journal
reporter the story of her daughters
Illness down in Chase county and the
part played by Dewie Hegwer in that
Illness They wanted Mrs. Rhodes to
come home to Topeka and be cared
for here. but she refused to expose a
trainload of people to her disease. At
her suggestion. a tent was erected in
an alfalfa meadow near the Russell
home and the brave woman walked to
the tent and laid down to die Her
husband and her mother cared for
her Dewie Hegwer would not go near
that tent, not even to bring a drink
OF water before the mother and hus-
band came to care for the sufferer.
Mrs. Rhodes left Topeka before the
disase had made any headway here.
She knew nothing about the spread of
the disease at home and her mother
was careful not to tell her
Dewie --egwer had no information
about the matter beyond the fact that
a Topeka woman lay i'll with SMALLPOX

scared to death of smallpox. Tt

Of the drygoods department OF the

she became acquainted with and ~
spected and admired, not only BY the
community, but by the entire county.
The groom, also, is we'll known and

years, have begun life's journey with
more sincere wishes for happiness
and prosperity.

The campaign Of Governor Harmon
Of Ohio for the Democratic nomina-
tion for the presidency is being or
ganized systematically In Denver.
We are glad Of this, because there p
an urgent desire on the part Of the
people to know of the candidates -
fully and reliably a. possible. Gov
ernor Wilson's campaign does not
seem to be as far advanced In the
way Of organisation, though 1t has
probably had more discussion In the
press. While there are other posst-
bilities Of the Democratic choice, ~,
for instance, Speaker Champ Clark
or Representative Underwood, It
seems that either Wilson or Harmon
will be nominated. Either would BE-
acceptable to Colorado Democrats,
though Wilson seems to be the popu-
lar favorite. Springs Mining

II has been more than a quarter Of .

has been ranching Mr.. Hes has just
made three shipments Of cattle to
other markets than Kansas City. ma

The agricultural developments

years is simply startling" Mr.. lies
said. when we tell about our grain
crops raised under irrigation farmers
back in these agricultural states
dssbelieve US. 1t looks SO good that
they simply stagger. II I were to
aaH that raised 3,Ol4 bushels OF oats
on % acres of land most farmers
would say that it was untrue. After
threshing my oats sent for a sur

ments, found that there was just "
tn the piece of land, on which 1877
bushels to the acre grew.

complaint about the cost Of Irrigation
eating up the profits is all nonsense.

rigation can make more money than

exceptionally good one. Plenty of
grass for cattle, and plenty Of water
for crops. The man who would knock
