KANsAN HAS DUAL IEENTITY
Missing Poultry Dealer OF chetopa is
Thought to be Long Lost Wyou1-
ing Doctor

A Knight Templar watch charm
may help solve the mystery OF the
dual identity of Daniel Beardslee, who
disappeared from Chetopa December
9. Beardslee had built up prosper
Gus poultry business in the nine years
he was located there. He left ostens-
IDLY to go to Kansas City on business
He had plenty of money with him and
it is known that he obtained more
when he arrived in Kansas City. He
told commission men in Kansas City
that he was going on to Washington
That much was learned when friends
here became concerned over his dis
appearance and telegraphed to Kan
sas City.
The day after Beardslee disappear
ed, a travelling salesman found
Knight Templar emblem in the hotel
there. On the emblem was engraved:
DIR. NJ Jesurun, Douglas. Wyo." L.
E. Lynch, the finder, advertised in
the Advance for the owner. Receiv-
ing no reply, he communicated with
the secretary of the lodge in Douglas.
The lodge officials wrote that Doctor
Jesurun had disappeared from Doug
las eleven years ago after having
built up a lucrative practice there fol-
lowing a notable record in the army
as surgeon with the rank of major.
The description and picture of the
missing physician tailed with the
missing poultry dealer.
Two years had elapsed between the
time Jesurun left Douglas and when
Beardslee came there from EIdorado,
Kas. Beardslee told friends there
that he had spent two years on
ranch near Eldorado. While he never
had mentioned being a physician, but
in conversations with friends he had
displayed remarkable knowledge of
medicine. He had told of being in the
medical department with the army in
Cuba There was no apparent reason
for either disappearance. In both
towns he had taken a leading part in
public affairs, had made friends rapid
ly, and had had no financial triubles.

WRECKING AN OLD LANDMARK
Historic LeavenWorth Church, Known
as Cradle of Prohibition" is
Being Torn Down.

The tearing down of the old Meth
odist church of Leavenworth was
commenced by workmen the other
day. Aside from the state capital
there are few buildings in Kansas
possessing more historic associations.
The building was erected in 1859
and it is said to be the first brick
church ever put up in the state. The
first board of trustees incorporated
under special act of the Kansas ter
ritorial legislature. They were men
of prominence in the early Kansas
days and were all bitter opponents of
slavery.
This old church was the cradle of
the movement that resulted in Kan
sas. In the later '70s a saloon was
running opposite the church 1t was
kept open all day Sunday with a bois-
ferrous crowd. Members of the con
gregation demanded that the saloon
close while worship in the church was
going on and they were defied and
laughed at.
A prohibition club was formed with
determination to close the saloon
legally, the first in Kansas. The
movement spread to all parts of the
state, mainly through the preaching
of Methodist ministers. On the criti-
cal roll call in the legislature a mem
Der from Leavenworth county was
held in line and cast the deciding
vote to submit the prohibition amend
ment, mainly through the influence
of this congregation.
The owner of the building has
given the lumber and material in it
to a local plasterer as pay for tearing
