schneck FOUND guilty.
Receives Death Sentence for Killing
Wife and Two Children.
Ottawa, Kan.. April 24. At the close
of the longest criminal trial ever held
in this county Frank Schneck was last
evening found guilty of murder in the
first degree, on the charge of murder
ing his wife, at Centropolls. The con
viction carries with it the establish
ment of Schneck's gnilt of murdering
his two' children, a son aged 9 and a
daughter aged S, whose throats were
cut at the same time as was the moth
er's. The jury was out but two hours
and a quarter, and only three ballots
were taken. The first two ballots stood
eleven to one for conviction as charged.
Schneck's two sisters, who have been
here from Muskogee, Ok., and West
phalia, Kan., respectively, all through
the trial, broke down under the shock
of the verdict, and their sobs almost
drowned the proceedings of the court,
as the last juror was polled and the
prisoner was led handcuffed from the
room.
Schneck himself received the verdict
with dry eyes and with no other signs
of nervousness than firm set lips and
a noticeable redness about the eyelids.
Owing to the time at which it was
committed, before the repeal of the old
law, Schenck will receive a sentence
of death. Mrs. Mollie Stewart,
Schneck's co-defendant, demanded and
secured a separate trial. When her
case will be heard has not been deter
mined. Schneck's offense was the most atro
cious crime ever committed in this
county. His wife left him on account
of neglect, and his attentions to Mrs.
Stewart. The day after her removal to
Centropolls she and her two children
were found murdered in bed. The
throats of all three had been cut. The
state's theory was that Schneck and
Mrs. Stewart drove to Centropolis and
committed the crime.

and hail a terrible electrical storm oc

shoulder. He fell unconscious to the
floor, where he remained for ten min
utes. The shock knocked the teacher

To the youthful Arthur Lonberg
ueiongs tne credit of defeating Uia In.
vincible baseball aggregation from
St. Marys college in the game with
Washburn, - -which was? played at
wasnDurn park yesterday afternoon.
The game which Lonberg pitched
was giitedged and he clearly demon
strated his right to the palm as
Washburn's best twirler. A couole
of hits In the first inning together
with a passed ball netted one run
and In the second two .wild heaves
by White netted another run and
during the rest of the time his offer
ings were unsolvable by the Irish.
Lonberg is one of the youngest
pitchers in the business, being only
18 years of age. His first experience
was on the spacious vacant lots of
Meriden. He had something In his
delivery yesterday which completely
baffled the collesrians from ud the
Kaw. He fanned eleven of the Cath
olics. . -
The Washburn lads batted some
and helped Lonberg quite a bit In
this manner. Nine hits nearly all of
them coming at opportune times gave
him confidence. The local collegians
had little difficulty In hittinsr Kelly.
the pitcher, who two weeks ago shut
out the Topeka team.
The visiting students started out
with a tally in the first. Bennett
singled and Snyder allowed one to
dribble through his legs. Gross scor
ed Bennett with a neat bingle. In
the second Speice got to second when
White tried to lower the high aerial
throwing record, went to third on
Henfer's sacrifice and then scored on
Swift's infield out. . ' -
Washburn started off in the first
with & couple. White doubled and
Dunaway reached first on Swift's
poor throw to first. Boles scored
both with a. double. In the third
White started with ' a walk, stole '
second, and went to third on Duna
way b sacrifice, and scored when Kel
ly made a balk. In the fifth Lon
berg took one In the ribs, went to
second on a passed ball. White drew
a pass and Dunaways fielder's choice
caught Lon bergat third. Boles sin
gled scoring White. T. McCampbell
walked, and . Dunaway and Boles
scored on E." McCampbell's hit. In
the eighth with two down, Washburn
added a couple -of runs. Robb sin
gled, stole second and scored on Mor
gan's single. -Morgan went to sec
ond on a passed, ball and scored on
Lonberg's single? &.:
Red Davis umpired the game and
gave satisfaction to both sides He

righted early the child will grow up thin
ana sickly, women are prone to con
stipation becanse of functional demands,

the age of fit ty. few people have regular bowel
movement.

promptly effective laxative tonic It to smooth
and oily, good to the taste and never gripes- It
can be absolutely depended upon, and so certain
are results that it 4s guaranteed to do what is
claimed or money will be refunded. It can be
obtained of your druggist in 60 cent and 81 bot
tles, and either size is sufficient to help many
members of the family to health.
Thousands of letters have been received from
users of this remedy saying that it does what is
claimed for It. and many families are never
without it in the house. Mrs. Hurray, of Mnn
aia. Ind.. has had It in her house reralarlv for
five years, and as soon as one bottle is used up
she gets another. A laxative may be needed at
any moment, and when it is needed It to wall to

BIG OFFER FROM GOLD FIELD.
Wants McFarland to Fight Gans 45
Rounds on July 4.
Chicago, April 24. Goldfleld wants
Packy McFarland to fight Joe Oans 41
rounds on July 4, and has wired an
offer of a 320,000 purse for the match.
Manager Harry Gilmore received the
offer today. It is signed by the Gold
field Athletic club.
Gilmore answered that he preferred
to pit his man against Nelson first. He
does not want to send McFarland
against the champion until the stock
yards boy has cleaned up Battling Nel
son. Gilmore is waiting to see if the
Goldfleld people will duplicate the
offer for Packy and Nelson. He Is en
deavoring to arrange a match of limit
ed duration between these two. If
Packy defeats the Dana he will ask for
a 330,000 purse for a 46 round go with
the champion.
"We are not quite ready for Gans,"
said Gilmore. "That July 4 offer looks
mighty good, but we think the Pane
and Packy would be equally as good
an attraction, and Packy doesn't want
to go against the champion until he
has cleaned up the field. If he suc
ceeds in disposing of Nelson the battle
ought to be worth a 130,004 purse. I
am waiting to see what tha Goldfleld
people will say."
