Mr. Cores sister. Mrs. J. A. Burns, OF
Nowata. Okla.
Mr.. Gore, one Of the most prominent
young farmers and stockmen of Fred
erick county. was found dead in field
on his farm October 4. Indications were
that he had tcen killed by a tractor
backing on him. Mrs. Gore is said to
have gone to Nevada some months age
to establish a residence there, with a
view of starting an action for divorce,
but her husbands death occurred before
the decree actually was sought. She
reached here two days after her hus-
bands funeral.
Mr.. Gore was a member OF an old and
prosperous Frederick county family and
was a nephew of Prof. j. Howard Gore,
eminent scientist of Washington. His
friends never understood why his wife
should seek separation.

fellow members of the Ku Klux klan.'
The design was a large cross of red

Chicago. Oct. 3.-Danger of Il new
form of government resulting from

I'd out by Charles Quinn. of Toledo, sec

',Thc bills are called progressive, or for
ward-looking measures. The patriotic
citizen who raises his voice against them
is termed IL rcactionary or n tool Of big

Unless these new movements which
have crept into congress arc speedily
checked there is danger of changing the
whole form of our government.
