BUSINESS NOT ALL OF LIFE

OF Graces That Make Existence

Business in its widest sense of com

Post. 1t Is an instrumental activity,
buttressing and bulwarking OF
personal and social life that should be
bigger and more important than any
OF the tools by which 1t maintains
itself. To make business an end in
itself, to devote ones whole life to 1t
instead of merely safeguarding ones
life by 1t, is not only mistake, but
blighting one. For business inevitably
makes demands on mans character
which would rapidly scar and scar II

Mentally Deranged.

Wellington, Kan. Feb 23.-Author-
tiles here believe John Kidwell. who
confessed in Hannibal that he killed
three members of the McKnelly fam
lily a year and a half ago, Is telling a
falsehood. They say he is crazy in
spite Of the fact that Kidwell worked
here at that time.
Kidwell came to Wellington few
weeks before the triple murder. He
worked as a blacksmith for a man
named Heron for several months. He
departed about three months, ago. He
did not say where he was going. No
one here knows much about the man,
or his antecedents. No one noticed
any unusual traits about him.

year-old daughter were murdered as
they slept in tent the night of Octo-

arrested. but was released after the

church, accused Of kissing her nearly
two years ago in her fathers news
paper Office, resulted in q verdict for
the pastor Saturday. The jury stood
. to for the defendant.
The case has been like that Of Sem
ator Cores. On the witness stand
the daughter, about % years old, ad-
mitted that her father instigated tho
suit, which was not filed for year
and q half after the kissing episode.
The clergyman, old enough to be .
grandfather. said it was only for fun.
as he had frequently held the plaintiff
on his lap when she was or 10 years
old, being her pastor and friend Of
her family. The suit was the out
come OF a church row Of two years
standing.
The editor, a member of the Pres
byterian church. said that the clergy
man had broken faith with him in not
leaving BroOkfield a year ago and SO
the suit was brought following sensa-
tional charges by the editor in his
paper. When the suit was filed, it
caused a sensation, not only In Brook
field, but over Missouri, because Doc
tor Atwood is not only an able pulpit
orator. but he is widely known in the
Masonic order, being q worshipful
master OF the lodge here.
Doctor Atwood is 81 years old. He
is married and has two sons, one Of
whom is a student in the law school
of the Missouri State university. The

Hannibal, Mo-, Feb. 23.-John Kid
we'll. arrested here Saturday. has con-
fessed to the murder Of the McKnelly
family at Wellington, Kan, Septem-
ber "a, 1912.
The murder, in which an aged man.
his wife and q grown daughter were
clubbed with q baseball bat, attracted
nationwide attention on account of it's
resemblance to the mysterious ak MUIR
de-s then occurring In Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri and other western states.

under arrest for weeks after the man
gled bodies OF his parents and sister
were found in their tent home. While

we'll back to Wellington. Kan, the
sheriff of Sumner county. Kansas, is
on his way to Madison. Wis, where
young McKnelly has been suing for
the $4,000 insurance carried by his
father and mother.
Guilt Preyed on Him.
A picture of the tent scene has been
preying on Kidwells mind. He came
here recently from Moberly, Mo-. and
formed acquaintance with a railroad
detective, to whom he remarked that
he was wanted in Wellington. Kid
well seemed to want to talk to some
one, and gradually took the detective
into his confidence.
Kidwelrs remarks indicated to the
officers that he may clear up other
crimes. In eleven murders in Sumner
county in the last five years only one
conviction was obtained.
In his confession Kidwell told Of
finding a baseball bat on his way to
the McKnelly tent. of how he crept
into the tent and sought out McKnel-
", but awakened the wife, who
screamed. This awakened McKnelly,
according to Kidwell. and in the scuf-
fle the old man was killed Kidwell
said he hit either the wife or the
daughter, but did not think he hit
both women.
Wanted to Confess at Once.
After the crime, Kidwell related, he
burned his blood-stained clothes at his
sisters home. The crime was heavy
on his mind then, he said, but when
he thought Of telling the police, his
sister told him he would be foolish to
do 30.
