CYRUS CORNING DEAD.
Formerly Was Newspaper Man and
Well Known as Politician.

Cyrus Corning, Sc years old, formerly
identified with Populist Topeka news
papers and prominent as a politician
and a socialist, died at 1870 o'clock this
morning at his home, 1714 Lane street.
Complications of heart and kidney trou-

When the PopuliSt movement started
in Kansas, the new cause met a hearty
response in the heart of Cyrus Corning
and in him, found an able champion.
Corning had made himself known In the
state in the Greenback days and when
the Grange movement was fnaugurated.
1t was the Populist days, however, when
Corning became more widely known
over the state. At that time ne was
publishing a paper in Usage county.
Between publication days he took the
stump and often spent weeks at time
with Jerry Simpson and Mary Ellen
Lease in preaching the doctrine of their
new found creed.
Corning'S son and daughter accom-
panied him on these trips. They sang
at the big school house meetings on
the Kansas prairies and between the
musical numbers Corning told the
story of the new faith that was to save
the country He was considered an ell
binders of the early sos. Jerry Simp-
son once remarked that he would rath-
er have Corning S help one week in the
big Seventh district than the assistance
of all of the other orators Who were
converts of the movement. When Simp-
son went to congress for the first time
no one person received greater credit
for the victory in the eyes of the SOCK
less one than did the little newspaper
man from Lyndon.
When the civil war broke out, Corn
ing enlisted in Company L First Wis
consin heavy infantry. After the war
he came to Kansas and settled on a
claim in Ness county. A few years
later he bought a printing plant ano
for number of years published one
of the first papers in the short grass
country Corning helped in the organ
ization of the Grange movement and III
1874, he was sent to the legislature from
Ness county. In the SOS he moved tc
Morris county and bought a paper al
Council Grove While the POpulis
movement was at fever heat, he pub
Iished a paper at Lyndon and late
moved to Allen county, then to Burling'
game and came to Topeka ten year:
ago. While here he published Th'
Grand Army Reveille, which suspended
about six months ago. He was active
in Grand Army work and was mem
her of Lincoln post.
Corning has never retired from TIL
printing business and owned d plant il

the time of his death.

OLD JOB IS FINISHED
st. Louis Savant Works Halt
Century on Aristotle's Book.
Or. Denton j. Snlder, Leading Writer
on Philosophical and Psychic
logical Subjects, Finally
Completes Long Task.

St Louis, Mo.-Dr. Denton j. Sni-
der, st. Louis savant, who has been
pronounced by eminent American
and European critics the leading writ
er on philosophical and psychological
subjects, has just completed the final
work in his system of universal psy-
chology.
The new book is entitled THE Bio
cosmos" and is an exposition OF the
life of nature psychologically treated.
Specifically ii treats of the science OF
biology in its widest sense. In DR..
Snider's system this is the third part
of nature, as the whole is conceived.
Scientists and the world of letters
have been following the progress OF
DR.. Snder's labors during many
years, and his announcement that the
entire work is completed is one OF
the important literary items Of the
season.
In this tremendous work the dream
of the Greek philosopher Aristotle,
and later that of Herbert Spencer, OF
accommodating all there was of definite
knowledge and weaving ii into vast,
comprehensive system, to be a monu-
ment for future ages, has been realiz-
ed by the st. Louisan.
/ Aristotle accomplished what he set
out to do, and in a measure Spencer
/ was successful, but in the system OF
/ the English thinker there are certain
gaps, such as history and esthetics
/ These gaps are filed and the prog
/ ress in learning since Aristotle's time
/ is supplied in DR.. Snider's new sys
TEN.
The works of DR.. Snider number
more than So but the essential ones
included in his new science are 10.
The entire subject is grouped under
seven general heads: Organic psy-
chology, psychology of philosophy,
psychology of nature, psychology of
art, psychology of institutions, psy-
chology of history and psychology OF
biography.
For more than half a century DR..
Snder has been gathering the mate
rails for and working upon his sys-
tenn. Most OF his labors were per-
formed in st. Louis, but in the course
of his Investigations he visited for
eign countries, where he was able to
bring into play the dozen or more
languages of which he is master.
During the years of toll he was not
the absorbed. solitary scholar, such as
Faust is represented, buried in mus
ty volumes and away from the world. y
He has taught a large following of
students in classes that at times mum
bered well into the hundreds.
These classes were unique and were
the beginnings Of sort OF worlds
university which DR. Snider hopes will
survive him and use the materials he
has created In recent years the
classes. open to all. have been held m

Books were given TO the students
without charge by their author. and
the talks and lessons were by DR. Sni
der himself Now there are number
of classes conducted by former pupils
