ANNIVERSARY OF LAKE
MICHIGAN MYSTERY

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 2O.-To-
morrow will be. the seventeenth ami
versary of the loss of the steamer Chi
cora, of the Graham and Morton line,
together with the twenty-nine persons
known to have been aboard the vessel.
Sailing from this city the night of
Sunday, Jan. 20, 1895, bound for st.
Joseph, across Lake Michigan, the
craft was never heard of again. She
foundered with all hands the follow
ing day, but in what manner is not
definitely known. The sunken steamer
has never been located. 1t is the sup
position, however, that she lies some
where off the south end of the lake.
The bodies of none of the victims ever
were found.

RICHESON GIVES UP
HOPE FOR HIS LIFE

BOSTON, Jan. 19.-Death in the
electric chair will be the expiation of
Rev. Clarence V. 7. Richeson's brutal
murder of his girlish sweetheart, Avis
Linnell.
Hope OF executive clemency that
buoyed up the minister murderer so
that he was able to stand calmly and
listen to Judge Sanderson's sentence
of death was abandoned today by his
counsel and his few remaining friends.
The action of the governor who, al
though absolutely opposing the inflic-
ton of the death penalty, has failed
to urge the executive counsel to ex-
tend clemency to Silas Phelps, who
will be executed next week for the
murder of Sheriff Haskins.
Governor Foss failed to act only
after he had privately canvassed the
nine members Of the counsel and found
that seven believed in enforcing the
law as long as 1t remained on the
statute books.
The appeal to the governor to act
will be made by Richeson's counsel but
they admit today they have no hope
Public sentiment against the minister
is too strong.
Thousands Of letters have been re-
ceived by the governor and the coun-
sci demanding that the punishment ths

DEATH ENDS
SUFFERING
Mrs. ". S. PickeriII Dies
After Brave Fight -Op-
GRAFTON of No Avail

that Mrs. w. S. Pickerill, who has
been SO i'll for the past few weeks,
had finally succumbed to the disease
from which she had suffered so much,
and had passed away at $3.50 this
morning, the whole town was shocked.
While her condition was serious,
and her friends and family had feared
from the first, all who had watched
developments from day to day had
hope for the best, and clung to the
slender thread of encouragement
which the physicians, during the past
few days, could furnish. The end
came gradually and peacefully, her
father, mother and husband being with
her at the last.
Her brothers, Haines and Elliott ar
rive this evening from Denver, her
parents, Superintendent and Mrs. w.
d. Lee having been here some days.
1t seems sad that one who had so
much to make life pleasant, and who
was so happy in all her relations, and
found so many avenues of activity for
her many-sided personality, should be
taken away in the full bloom of her
bright young womanhood.
Nell" as her girl friends con-
tinued to call her, long after marriage,
was gifted along many lines, and
seemed to fill her various duties equal
ly well. She was talented intellectu-
ally and was favorite in society,
which she enjoyed, being charming
hostess and clever conversational
list. A fine housekeeper and home
maker, and devoted wife, she emex-
plified the woman of domestic tastes,
at her best.
For years she was a brilliant men,
ber Of the Cleo club, and after her
marriage Joined the Reading club, al
ways performing the duties assigned
with ease and manifesting the same
ability common to her elsewhere.
She belonged to the several organi-
cations of the Presbyterian church, of
which she was member, and took an
active part in the work. Her indi-
viduality was marked, and her per-
sonality, vivid, with lively tempera-
ment that appeared to enjoy life to
the full. She was a good business
woman, with original ideas and great
executive ability. She planned and
assisted in many delightful entertain
ments for the benefit of church and
charitable organizations, that exhibit
ed, in some measure, the scope Of
her ability.
Mrs. Pickerill's friends will miss
her; society, the church, the organiza-
tions to which she belonged, the poor
and the needy-all those with whom
she came in contact-will miss her,
but her family will suffer the greater
loss, since to them she was most, and
for them she did most, of all.
1t is comforting to remember that
all that is beautiful in her life lives
on, and all the qualities she mani
tested which made up the loving kind
ness that was the cause of her mar
vellous activity along such varied
lines, are immortal, and like the ivy
will be ever green in the hearts of
her friends.
The funeral of Mrs. w. S. Pickerill
will be held on Monday afternoon at
2 o'clock, from the family residence
at Brookside.

of the explosion was so great that

ROOSEVELT
COMES OUT
Will Gladly Accept Nom

Good Of the Party

Western Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Under the
caption of Roosevelt Openly a Can
didate for the Presidency" and re-
ferring to visit by former Governor
Fort of New York, to the office of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt yesterday,
the Press says this morning:
"The press is in position to state
that Colonel Roosevelt informed Fort
that he would be glad to accept the
nomination for the presidency, that
he regretted to find so much opposition
to Taft, that he does not seek the
nomination against Taft, but that he
will not discourage the activity of his
friends. He regards these friends as
having the welfare of the party sole
ly in mind and not any particular
friendship for him. Should they find
that the party calls him, he will re-
spond and they are free to go and
hight that issue in the primaries"
Governor Fort, following his visit
to Colonel Roosevelt, gave out type
written statement reading:
at is urged that Roosevelt come
out and let it be known that he is
candidate. I have no authority to
speak for Colonel Roosevelt, but know
his nature and 1 do not believe it will
be long before he will make his po-
sition clear.
From this time on and MY friends
will do what we can to insure dele
cation from New Jersey for Colonel
Roosevelt"
The Press claims that the indorse-
ment of Roosevelt by the st. Louis
Republicans on Thursday was secured
by E. Montreilly after the latter had
visited the colonel at Oyster Bay.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa,
progressive Republican, today an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in a
statement in which he said that If
the Republicans of Iowa believe him
fit man to urge before the Chicago
convention he would accept their de-

The entrance of Mr.. Cummins into

plicates the Republican situation.
President Taft is now openly opposed
for the nomination by Senator LaFol-

Iowa, both progressives, while still
other progressives are urging the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt.
The announcement of Senator Cum
minis had been expected for several
days. Coming today in connection
with the report from Denver that
Clifford Pinchot was taking the intia-
tive in movement for conference of
progressive Republicans to decide on
one candidate to oppose President Taft
it started riot of political specula-
tion which eclipsed the ordinary ac-
