His idea was a life of servitude and hard work and he enforced that with UNCERTAIN, TO SAY THE LEAST. It has been said that the populace would crown a man one day and crucify him the next. While this would appear paradoxical, it is al- most demonstrated as true in the case of Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila, who was received only \ a few weeks ago with a demonstra- tion by the American people that surprised the world. All the honors that a grateful, admiring public could confer was heaped upon his head, and seventy million people pro- claimed their appreciation of his brave and heroic efforts.

But the crown- ing act of the protest occurred when Dewey's picture was shown at a the- ater in Washington and was actually hissed. Think of it, Admiral Dewey, hero of Manila, so short a time ago the idol of the people, to have his picture hissed by these same people who threw high in air their ready caps and offered him a crown. Truly, popular acclaim is uncertain and un- reliable. At his bedside were Mrs. Hobart and hisson Garrett A. Hobart, jr., to- gether with Dr. William K. Newton and his wife, and Private Secretary Evans. Mr. Hobart’s death had been ex- pected for some hours. The begin- ning of the end came yesterday after- noon, when there was a sudden fail- ure of the heart, and from this attack he never rallied. He had been sick for a long time, and had suffered fre- quently from heart failure, and his strength had been undermined. Grad- ually the failure of the heart’s action became more apparent, and soon af- ter midnight last night Mr. Hobart became unconscious. He remained in that condition until his death. ooo When asked by a Republic repre- sentative what he thought of Secre- tary Gage’s plan for the government to buy $25,000,000 of its own bonds.

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY. Remains Supposed Leopold Edlinger Found in the Creek. Fort Scott, Kan., Nov. 18.—The corpse of aman who was murdered two or three weeks ago weighted with rocks and a big chain and thrown in Mill creek, six miles from here, and found last Thursday night, have been identified to the satisfaction of the officers as the remains of Leopold Edlinger, a farmer near Rockville, in Bates county, Mo. From a letter found in the dead man’s clothes it develops that he probably went to Butler, Mo., and there decided to start for Oklahoma ; that he wrote his brother-in-law, Mr. Heimer of Rockville, telling him of his intention, but forgot to mail the letter. Among the papers found on him wasa blank check on the bank of Rockville, and a letter received here to-night from Cashier Heyle of that bank says Edlinger is probably the victim. Edlinger, he says, drew his money from that bank through a Butler bank about three weeks ago and started for Oklahoma. The indica- tions are that he went to Pittsburg, Kan., sold his team and came to this city and fell a victim to murderous robbers. He had several hundred dollars. His body was thrown into the river after it had been dead long enough to become rigid. It would never have been discovered had the water not become unusually low in the river. It was buried last evening but will be exhumed to-morrow for identification by his brother-inlaw, Herman Heimer, who arrived here at midnight to-night. The police have a clew to the murderers. The description of Edlingeras given by Cashier Heyle corresponds closely with that of the murdered man. The murder was a most brutal one. He was shot in the head and struck three blows with an ax or some other dead- ly instrument, each of which crushed the skull. A heavy stay chain from a wagon was tied around his neck to hold a rock to the shoulders anda 500-pound sack of rocks was tied to his legs. Monday Ferdinand and Herman Heimer, brother-in-law of the mur- dered man, and W. B. Tyler, for whom the deceased had worked up to a few weeks before leaving for Ok- lahoma, went to Ft. Scott and iden- tified the body as that of Edlinger. Capital Only 7o Cents. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 20.—Leon- ard B.
