DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE.
Religious Fervor Believed to Have
Killed Will Kaufman.


Dodge City, Kan, March 25.-Will
Kaufman, a resident of this place,
completely upset an evangelistic meet
ing at the Nazarene church on Third
avenue last evening when he sue
cumbed to an attack of religious
fervor. Under the leadership of a
travelling evangelist the Nazarenes
were having lively meeting and
Kaufman had been especially Jealous.
About midnight his zeal reached the
limit of intensity and he fell on the
floor, his body apparently lifeless. The
worshippers stood aghast as this ex-
hibition of Divine power and, when
hastv examination showed the man to
be dead, they summoned Undertaken
Hulpieu to take the body to the
morgue. Shortly before the undertaken
arrived Kaufman began to show
signs of life and the administration of
restoratives brought him to conscious
ness rapidly. A stretcher replaced the
undertaker's basket, and Kaufman
was taken home instead of to the
morgue. He is reported improving
rapidly at this time though still in a
physicians care.

SOLVES ROAD WORK PROBLEM.
Farmers Furnished Drags and Given
Credit for Work.

Garfield, Kan, March 23.@The plan
for dragging roads initiated in this re-
gion by Pleasant Ridge township is
spreading in popularity. According to
this plan each farmer is furnished
with King drag free by the township
board and given credit on his road
tax for keeping up one mile of road

the good roads movement. Garfield

furnished 2 farmers with drags. Good
roads are expected in this vicinity
