the hot weather of the last ten days is

that the parks tonight will be throng-

afternoon.
This afternoon Garfield park is the
Mecca of the pleasure seekers The

the chief feature of the occasion.

Practically the only business houses in

tariff and the trusts are spoken of.
The governor assailed the minimum
wage idea, declaring that employers
would take occasion to bring their
wage scale as nearly as they could
down to the level of the minimum per-
mitted by the law. With the idea of
a federal commission to regulate mo-
nOpOly the governor took emphatic is
sue. He declared that the plan suggest
ed not only would legalize monopoly,
but give the cnief employers of the
country tremendous authority behind
them.
What the employers do will have
the license of the federal government
including the right to pay wages ap-
proved by the government, said Gov.
Wilson He pointed out that it always
has been the policy of the masters of
consolidated industries to undGrm me

TALKS TO ANGEL
Girl, Passing Through Valley of
the Shadow, Cured.
Rises From Deathbed and
Walks Down Stairs.

London, Sept. 2.-Saved by an angel
who met her at the gates of death
and bade her turn back to mortal life
Miss Dorothy KERN, who has been a
bed-ridden invalid from tuberculosis
and diabetes, is today running about
her home, 204 Wildwood Road as
though she had never been ill a day
in her life.
Miss KERN who is a beautiful girl
% years old had been given up to die
by 81 doctors Saturday they al
nounced that she would die before
midnight. Sunday morning she sud
denly opened her eyes. Her mother,
ceaselessly watchfuI beside the bed
bent over her.
Dolly, do you know me?' she ask
ed.
"Of course I do mamma" replied
the girl. II am to get up. The angel
told me to. An angel from heaven
met me at the gates of death and
brought me back"
And the girl did get up, seemingly
under a mysterious influence and ran
downstairs. A friend of the family, an
atheist at the sight of her fell on his
knees, praying to God.
Not less remarkable than the resto-
ration of her physical health is the
on her mind. She came forth from
her visit to the valley of the shadow
with a serene faith in an infinite
power, a belief in the spiritual law,
clarity of mental view and an eiO-
quence of expression usually acquired
only after years of hard study.
Miss KERN has written to William
r. Hearst's newspaper, the London
Budget, an open letter in reply to the
many queries which she has received
as to her recovery. In this letter she
says:
Talks With Death Angel.
'I was conscious yesterday for the
first time in several days. 1t seemed
to me that 1 was slipping out of life.
/ heard the whispers and Sobs and
prayers of those who love me best.
Everything grew black. I didn't even
think; just drifted without an effort,
without a thought, into deeper black
ness.
Suddenly I saw light-dazzIing-
brighter than any fire had ever seen.
Stretched from out the great golden
flame I saw two hands. Then heard
your sufferings are over. Arise. You
can walk Then 1 heard mother ASK
ing me if 1 knew her.
There is a science of religion as
well as science in every phase of the
materia universe.
We live in the midst of wonderful
lands. In my own case 1 realize that
my long illness and Quietness prepared
me to receive message from the voice
which health and success and amoi-
ton sometimes stultify.
Il do not feel that the anchorite
the dreamer or any of the ultra-relig-
ionists were nearer God than any man
CT woman today who accepts the
truth, and who opens the windows CT
the soul to the light of the spiritual
world"

COPE CASE AGAIN.
1t VIII Come Up in District Court
Wednesday.

Next "wednesday the second division Of
the district court is expected to take up
the case of Mrs. Edwin Locke and others
against Mrs. Carrie E. Cope and others,
in which the plaintiffs demand that
money left by Mrs. Fannie Murray Of
Atchison to the Women's Home Mission
ary society be turned over to the new Of
ficers of the society. The case involves
about $4,000 left by the Atchison woman,
part of which was paid to the former
officers, Mrs. Cope being treasurer. The
payment was made, however, after COR
poration had been chartered, the executor
of the will declining to pay the money
over to the unincorporated organization,
Mrs. Cope still is treasurer of the incor-
porated society and refuses to pay the
money over to the officers of the unin-
corporated organization.
