Rooms. Saturday morning G. P. Wyatt went to the rooms of Mrs. John |‘Trimble, over the Gordinier bar- ber shop on the south side of the square, on a matter of business, ‘and on opening the door found Mrs. Trimble dead on the floor. The authorities were notified and Coroner Allen of Rich Hill came to Butler and viewed the re- imains and decided that the de- veased came to her death from heart failure and that an inquest {was unnecessary. Te gave it as This opinion that she had been dead about thirty-six hours, She was dressed in her night clothes, which would indicate that she had | died some time Thursday night. Mrs, Trimble was rather eceen- ‘trie and very little is known about lher, as she was slow to take her i friends into her confidence. She and her husband, the late John Trimble, came to Bates county in 1/1872. Mr. Trimble died about 12 years ago. She was about 70 years old, and with the exception of a half brother named Hem- street, who lives in California, she is the last member of her family. Funeral services were held at the Culver Undertaking rooms Monday afternoon and interment made in Oak Hill cemetery. i Gompers Declares He Will Break Law Preventing Strikes.

Gompers appeared —be- fore the committee to protest against the compulsory arbitra- tion feature of the Adamson law. “You may enact laws making strikes unlawful and prescribe the penalties,’ Gompers told the committee, ‘‘but that is not going to prevent strikes. If you enact such a law you can count on me as one of the violators of it.”’ Wilson Doffs His Cap to Suffrage Pickets at White House Gate. 7 Washington, Jan. 18.—The suf- frage sentinels at the White House today won recognition from President Wilson for the first time since they began picket- ing the grounds last week.

Nephew of Younger Brothers Hunting for $63,000 in Box Near Oklahoma town. _ Tulsa, Ok., Jan. 13.—Scout Younger, of Tulsa, nephew of Cole and Bob Younger, early day ban- dits who ‘were with Jesse and Frank James in some of theird raids in this country forty years ago, is trxing to locate a box said to contain $63,000 in money and treasure which it is claimed was buried by the James band in the vicinity of Tulsa many years ago. Scout Younger from the deserip- tion Furnished him by Cole Young- er while on a visit to Tulsa short- ly Jefore his death, believes the treasure is buried in the Lost City canyon, six miles northwest of Tulsa, on the bank of the Arkan- sts river. Cole Younger was un- able to identity the exact location owing to the cutting of a new road | in that direction whieh does not follow the cattle trail of border days. One of the last statements of Cole Younger us he lay on his deathbed some two years ago was an injunction to Scout Younger to continue the search for the buried treasure until it is found. _It is said that Frank James, who died a few years ago, was anxious in his declining days to] search for the fortune which lay buried near Tulsa, but ill health forbade him undertaking it.

Odds Favor Clark. The or- y-fifth con- gress is yet in the air— balanced hetween the demands and repre- sentations—between Champ Clark and Jim Mann. The matter is not one whit more settled than it was 10 days after the national election, The list of Jerry South, clerk of the house of — repre Lutives, shows there are in the sixty-fifth congress 215 Democrats and 215 Republieans—-an even break, The balance of power for the organi- zation of the next cong is held in the hands of really t five men, They are: Charles Hl.

Martin, Thibo- daux, La. elected as a Progres- sive, The Democratic caucus nominee for speaker will be undoubtedly and unanimously Champ Clark of Missouri, the present speaker. The Republican caucus nominee will be James R. Mann of HMiinois, the present minority leader. “Mr. Mann has sporadic opposition, but the overwhelming majority of his party will present, him as its choice. It is possible that a small body of dissenters in the Republi- ean ranks may present Lenroot as their choice, and the. New Jersey Republican caucus has presented Hainpton Moore, of Pennsylvania astheir choice for speaker, But the line up for the real contest will lie between Clark and Mann, bs The difference is that the Dem- oeratic rank is solid and enthusi- astie behind Clark. Mann, who has made a fine leader, has both open and secret opposition in prominent leaders like Augustus P. Gardner, the angel of prepared- ness, and three or four others less pronounced, It is said in the Democratic caucus that there are at least six Republicans who are opposed to Mr. Mann, and that these will practically vote against the leader. The Republicans do not concede this however. If the Republican rank should be unbroken behind James R Mann, then the five named must fe decide the organization of — the house. Of these five men, Schall, the Minnesota Progressive is expect ed to vote with the Republicans.
