with rifles to escort draft, others to

lives for the fatherland like criminals

MRS. P0PpLETON.
PIONEER WOMAN
OF OMAHA. DEAD
Widow of A. J. Poppleton, and
Leader in Church and Society
for Many Years, Taken
by Death. =.

Mrs. Caroline Sears Poppleton,
widow of A. J. Popplsen, a pioneer
woman Of Omaha, died last night at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. w. c,
Shannon, Winona apartments, after
an acute illness of but an hour.
Mrs. Poppleton was one of the first
settlers in the city. For a long time
the family made its home at Nine
tenth and Dodge, later moving to the
mansion on North Sherman avenue.
During his lifetime, Mr.. Poppleon
was one of Omaha's most influential
and wealthy citizens, and Mrs. Pop
pleon social leader.
Mrs. Poppleon was born at Niles,
Mich, May II, 1885, and when a>young
woman, moved with her father and
family to Council Bluffs, where Mr..
Sears ran hotel in the early days.
They came to Council Bluffs by a
boat up the Missouri river.
In 1855 Miss Sears was married to
Andrew ]. Poppleton,, then young
attorney, who had also come west
and had been looking around for To-
cation, but decided upon Omaha after
trip to the Pacific coast.
Mrs. Poppleton is survived bys one
sister and one bmrother, Mrs. A. N.
Ferguson of Omaha and Stillman
Sears Of Long Pine, Neb., and also by
two children, Mrs. Ellen Elizabeth
Shannon and Mary D. Learned. A son,
William Sears Poppleton, died four
years ;,go. Surviving him are Mrs.
William Poppleton, jr., and one son.
For forty years Mrs. Poppleton had
been tireless worker in the Trinity
cathedral parish and in many other
charitable organizations. She had also
for years been identified with the
Clarkson Memorial hospital and as
president of the hospital association
read the principal address at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the hospital
building at Twenty-second and How
ard streets. She was secretary and
treasurer for twenty-three years and
trustee at the time of her death.
For many years the home grounds
of Mrs. Poppleton on north Sherman
avenue were among the most preten-
tious in Omaha, the large brick man
sion being surrounded by two blocks
of ground filled with beautiful shrub
berry and drives.
Funeral arrangements have not
been made.

KITCHENER NOT .
DEAD: PRISONER,
SAYSH|S COUSIN
Constance CraWley, English
Actress In Omaha. Declares
Former British War Sec
retary Held in Germany.

'Lord Kitchener, British war sect
retafy,sis np more dead tharr-I aai,e
declared Miss Constance Crawley,
who is playing at the Orpheum this
week. ,... N., .....
Miss Crawley says she is a second
cousin of Lord Kitchener. She is
also a first cousin of the bishop of
Litchheld, and direct descendant
Of Sir Walter Raleigh.
1--WE have had any number of direct
indications that the great British
commander is lying now in some
German military prison. He will re-
turn. You remember Lord Kitchener
disappeared once before for two years
when he disguised himself as an
Egyptian peasant, merely to find out
what were the. needs of Egypt.
"The lower class of British people
mourn Lord Kitchener as lost, but
there is an undeniable current of be-
lief in offlcial circles that he was cap
tured by the GermGn submarine
which blew uta the Hampshire, on
which Lord Kitchener was going to
Russia. If-the people of Great Brit
ain were told what we believe to be
the truth, that Lord Kitchener was
captured, they would never forgive
the government for allowing him
to venture OH the sea unprotected.
~ Sister Has Facts.
"Mrs. Parker, Lord Kitchener's
own sister, has authentic information
which she cannot give out, that he is
alive. Recently German officer was
captured and in his drunken stupor
Dragged OF the fact that they had
captured Kitchener"
Miss Crawley is of the hrm belief
that the Germans are holding Lord
Kitchener as trump card when
the final reckoning comes after the
war. She debates the English will
go any limit to recover the war Sec
retary, who was the most popular
public man of Great Britain.
Speaking Of Lord Northcliffe's at
tacks in his English newspaper on
Lord Kitchener, Miss Grawley de-
clared:
"The papers of Lord Northeliffs
which contained advedse criticisms OF
Lord Kitchener were burned on the
floor of the London Stock Exchange.
In number Of cities, the papers were
left on the railway stations and the
people refused toFead them"
Miss Crawley, who with her part
ner, Arthur Maude, will be at the
Orpheun for the remainder of the
week, are British subjects. Both
heartily favor the government now in
power in Britain and declare that had
Lord Kitchener not been captured he
would have made Russia ona of the
most powerful constitutional mon.
