¢ A RUE CI a ee The Butler Weekly Times. VOL. XXVI. BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1904. NO. 35 CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS /|FARM RTURED Sketch of the Indiana Senator AND THEN ROBBED Who Will be President | Refuses to Tell Whereabouts of Roosevelt’s Running Mate. Charles Warren Fairbanks was born May 11, 1852, on a farm in Union county, Ohio. He was grad- uated from the Ohio Wesleyan uni- versityat Delaware, U., in 1872. Taking up the study of law he main- tained himself by acting as agent at Pittsburg for the associated press. He was admitted to the bar at Cleve- land in 1874, and in the same year removed to Indianapolis, Ind. He soon won recognition as one of the leading railroad attorneys of the state, and became wealthy. In 1897 he was elected to a seatin the United States senate and was ° re-elected in 1903, his vreeent term expiring 1909. He is the senior member from Indi- ana, Senator Beveridge being his junior colleague. Senator Fairbanks erjoyed toa marked degree the friendship and confidence of the late President Mc- Kinley. No man in the senate was at the White House more frequently, or more nearly reflected the views of the administration. He was chair- man of his state delegation in 1896, when Mr. McKinley was first nomi- nated in St. Louis, and he was chair- man of the platform committee at Philadelphia, in 1900, when Mr. Mc- Kinley was renominated and when Mr. Roosevelt was “dratted” for vice- president. Senator Fairbanks was married in 1874, soon after his location in In- dianapolis, His wile had been a fel- low atudent with him in the univer- sity. She is a woman of rare social graces and has filled the position of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution. Should her husband ever * gucreed to the presidency and her- gelf become the first lady of the land,” she would rank high among the wo- men who have filled that station. They have one daughter, the wife of an Indianapolis physician, and two sous, one of whom was a volunteer officer in the war with Spain. SOUGHT RELIEF IN DEATH A Chicago Woman Killed Three Children and Herself. Chicago, June 26.—With starva- tion threatening her and her babies, and with her hushand hopelessly insane in the asylum at Kankakee, Mrs. Anna Kelsdzick gave up the struggle for existence to day, killing three small children and then ending her own life. Illuminating gas was the means of destruction she adopt- ed and when the bodies were found early to-day all four had been dead several hours. } : The family lived in three small rooms at 965 North Roby street, to-day a constable was to eject the mother and ‘her babies from thé promises for the nonpayment of rent. It was after Mrs. Kelsdzick had been served with a summons to appear in court that she decided. to end the lives of herself and her little ones. The three ehildren, Bruno, Herman spectively, were found in bed locked in each other’s arms. The mother’s body was found lying on the kitchen floor, while gas was escaping from a made every prep- linen. “Each child had also been clean night gowns and the little ones sent o which they would His Hoard, but it is Found Kansas City, Mo., June 26 —Isa- dore Neidhardt, a farmer living at Bethel, Kas., eighteen miles west of K@ieas City, Kas., was tied hand and foot, tortured and robbed of $100 by three men last night. His hired man, August Nushbaum, who tried to aid him, was beaten until unconscious and also bound!’ with ropes. After securing the money the rob- bers hitched Neidhardt’s horses to a wagon which they found in a barn, and drove to the end of the Quin- daro boulevard in Kansas City, Kas. There they abandoned the wagon and horses and rode into the city on a street car. The men, according to Neidha:dt’s story, went to Neidhardt’s home during the heavy rains and asked for shelter. One of the men selzed him and another sprang on his neck, causing him to bend forward. Grasp- ing his wrists, they tied him to his ankle and then tying his feet togeth- er they placed him against the side of the house. Before they could gag him he called for help. Nushbaum, who was in the barn, heard him and_ranto—the- house: With the butt end ofa weapon a rob- ber beat Nushbaum over’ the head until he was unconscious. The men returned to Neidhardt and with a pair of iron tongs pinched his flesh in an effort to make him isclose the hiding place of the money. He refused to tell them. The men then got an axe and broke open trunks and boxes. Ina trunk they found the $100. DOWIE’S WORLD-WIDE TRIP DISMAL RETURNS. “Elijah Il” Returns After Flee- ing From Many Mobs New York, June 27.—After a world- wide trip, during which he has been run out of nearly every city and town that he visited, John Alexander Dowle, who styles himself Elijah III, arriveed on the Lucania Sunday with his wife, Gladstone Dowie, his son, and Mr. Cantel, a deacon of the Dowie hotel. Never, perhaps, has a leader of any religious sect had such exciting ex- periences. Before leaving his follow- ers in Zion City, he predicted that he would bring back with him a fortune and a large company for Zion City. He is returning with his family and one deacon, while his store of wealth is said to be sadly depleted. In Melbourne he was beset by riotous crowds and forced to flee to Adelaide, where he addressed a large meeting, at which he denounced King ward. He was greeted with a rm of hisses and had to stop Dowie then went to Switzerland. After trying to raiee funds, in which he fafled dismally, Dowie went to Berlin. He took rooms in the beat hotel at the rate of $40 a day and lived in sumptuous style. He ad- dressed crowded meetings, but his audiences were not enthusiastic, and he left the city in diegust. In London he called his headquar- ters the Zion Tabernacle. His speeches calling for funds caused the Englieh to give him the term “The Profit,” and Dowie denounced the King. This excited the London pop- ulace, and on Saturdsy, June 12, he was mobbed in Euston street, An excited crowd tried to pull him and his wile from a carriage, and it was only owing to the hard work of the London police that Dowie escaped some other boys he ehot a cap pisto into enargogrnans A e barrel exploded it.
