Said to Iliivc Dealt Uradi.
CANTON, 0., April IS.— Attorneys for
the state regard this as their red letter
day i n the trial of Mrs. George. They
produced the eye-witnesses lo the tiring
of two of the shots which look effect in
Saxton's body. One of these claimed to !
have Identified Mrs. G?orge positively as
having fired the shots, and the other |
testified positively that the woman she
saw do Ihe shooting closely resembled I
.Mis. George, whom she knows only as
Bhe lias seen her in the court room. The
smii 1 ado qualified a witness on Mrs. ;
Ueorge'n handwriting to identify a let- j
tei whii-h they want to introduce in evl- j
dence. A third point which pleased the j
state wts the admission of a police offi- i
or who found a revolver, although he ;
was not allowed to tell how he found it, |
to the full extent of the details asked j
of him. They wanted to prove that May
or Rice, counsel for Mrs. George, told
him where to find the weapon and sent
him after it.
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Christine Eckroat saia she went to
her window on the night of the murder,
after hearing two shots, and saw a per
son bending forward who fired two shots
toward the ground and then ran away
through a vacant lot. She identified the
person as Mrs. George. Witness said
she had previously often noticed a wom
an walking in front of the Althouse resi
dence, whom she later learned was Mrs.
George. Mrs. Eokroat is the first wit
ness claiming to recognize the "person
in black."
Mrs. Laura Huwig, of Cleveland, testi
fied as an eye-witness, to the firing of
two shots. She described the person who
Bred them and said from what she had
Been of Mrs. George since, the defendant
resembled the one she saw fire the shots,
in figure, carriage and general appear
ance.
Jay G. Best and his wife were called
to testify as to the whereabouts of Mrs.
Althouse at the time of the tragedy. Mr.
Best it> Mrs. Althouse's brother. Best
said she was at her home between the
hours of 5 and 7 the night of the mur
der. Two other witnesses testified that
the railroad switch east of Lincoln ave
nue was not much used by pedestrians.
The defense had introduced this switch
in cross-examination, apparently as a
route over which Mrs. George might
bave traveled in that vicinity after get
ling* off a car at the time of the shoot-
Ing.
The docket on the injunction of Sax
lon forbidding Mrs. George to enter his
Mock on the ground that she had vio
lated that injunction, was excluded.
AHchaei Uarr, the post office clerk, who
yesterday failed to prove his capacity
for identifying Mrs. George's handwrit
ing, answered other questions today
which made his identification of a letter
admissable, and this will be formally of
fered after the defense has had oppor
tunity to read it.
; MRS. GEORGE'S PISTOL.
Police Sergeant' William J. Hasler told
of a conversation he had- with Mrs.
George, in which she talked of having
Saxton and Mrs. Althouse arrested-. He
also testified to taking charge of Sax
ton's body the night of his death, and of
the police work on the case. He said
that on Monday morning after the mur
der he found a revolver at the corner of
High and South streets. He was not
allowed to tell why he looked there for
it. but had previously said in interviews
that Mayor Rice, who was Mrs. George's
counsel, had told him where it was, and \
haii sent him afier it, but that on sec- I
end thought he decided not to give the
weapon to the mayor, because he might
get into trouble, and he told the mayor
he had found it. Later he gave It to the
prosecuting attorney and told him his
story. He went to Mrs. George, in jail,
and told her he had found the' revolver
that she hid at the corner of South and
Hii»h streets— the one Rice had sent him
after— and he asked her what to do with
it. She told him to see Mr. Welty, her
attorney, and then come back.'
The revolver was offered and identi
fied, and the bullets found in Saxton's
body shown to be of the same caliber.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but Ef
fectual Care for It.
Catarrh of tha stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
Ihe usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ed sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the lungs and heart and difficult
breathing; headache, fickle appetite, nerv
ousness and a general played out and
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste In the mouch
coated tongue, and if the interior of
stomach could be seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate disease is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily and
thoroughly digested before it has lime to
ferment and Irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt, and healthy diges
tion is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion Is secured the
catarihal condition will have disappear
ed.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
niPal a tablet, composed of Piastase
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety' and assurance that healthy appe
tite and thorough digestion will foliow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, of. 27X0 Dearborn St
Chicago, lIL, writes:. "Catarrh is a local*
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom, passing
back into the throat, reaches the stom
ach, thus producing catarrh of the stom
ach. Medical authorities prescribed for
me three years for catarrh of the stom
ach without cure, but "roday 7 am the
happiest of men after usirifg only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
can not find appropriate wor.ds to ex

use.
Stuart's. Dyspepsia-Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form
of indigestion, catarrh of the stomach,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and

Hero of Many Cuban Ba.tles Raises CXd Glory at Malolos.
Col. Fred Funston. Twentieth Kansas
volunteers, has dimmed the glory of
nany of the brave knights of romance
In .atmosphere and settings as thrilling
as any with which fiction glorifies its
heroes, he has outshone in exploits of love
and daring the most fascinating charac
ters of fancy. A soldier under two Hags, he
reserved to old glory such deeds of valor
as make new American history imperish
able and American manhood respected by
all mankind, says the New York Herald.
And to the glories of war he has added
as a capsheaf the laurels of love. And in
love as in war he exhibited the same qual
ities of knight-errantry.
He faced Spanish bullets to help Cuba
to her independence. He shed his blood
on her soil to help wash into forgetfu'.
nesa the memory of her oppression. The
cry from the Maine was a call for his
services under the Stars and Stripes. He
yolunteered to the governor of his state.
Like Roosevelt, he saw in the boys of the
West— boys who can ride and shoot— the
ideal men for war. The Twentieth Kan
sas was organized and the regiment \va3
ordered to 'Frisco. Then came weeks of
weary waiting, with the dull routine of
the bivouac at the Presidio. He chafed
under- the restraint as news of active
fighting in Cuba reached him. But one
day there came to the Presidio field a
sweet-faced visitor who listened like Des
demona to his oft-told tales of war and
COl,. FRED FUNSTON.
adventure. Curious interest at first oh I
her part; then love. : The :browfied "soldier
of Cuban J^ttlefield* capitulated' to Cupid.
They -dui^helr ■co*urting between bugle
calls, with the long swell of "taps" of the
parting good night. Gen. Merritt at Ma
nila was asking for immediate reinforce
ments; the troopships lay at the wharves;
the Twentieth Kansas was ready for the
call. The next day was set to£ sailing.
That evening after "colors" had been
sounded and echoed across the bay they
were married. But no wives were to ac
company the officers. Orders from Wash
ington. But strategy, which won_him vic
tories in war, served Col. Funston in love.
They should not be" parted, orders or no
orders. A plan was hastily evolved. Fun
ston was schooled against surprised in the
Cuban jungles. The bride should become
a trooper; (should wear the blue of the
Twentieth Kansas United States volun
teers. She went aboard as a bugler the
following day, and every volunteer sailed
for Manila with a lighter heart knowing
there was a bride aboard.
But the honeymoon was brief. A slow
troopship can't outfoot a swift liner even
for love. Gen. Otis, brigade commander,
heard of the incident soon after the regi
ment sailed. He couldn't overlook the
breach of army discipline. Orders were
sent b/ the first steamer which would
overtake the Twentieth Kansas at Hono
lulu to send the bride back. The colonal
and his bride were parted, but she fol
lowed him a few days later in a sailing
vessel. She reached Manila before the
fighting.
And with the sweet-faced little woman
in Manila watching, nay, inspiring him.
Col. Funston went on and performed ex
ploits of valor which made him the great
fighting hero. It was he who swam the
Marilao river under heavy fire, and with
twenty volunteers put the rebels to flight.
It was he who was the first American
into Malolos. No such story of love and
daring has developed in the campaigns of
war. The details which follow are facts
that are stranger than fiction.
History, now being rapidly made by the
gallant nephews of Uncle Sam, presents
to the attention of all readers of contem
poraneous chronicles a hero vested with
all the dash an.l daring of a knight-er
rant and a lover who chall^ng»3 the at
tention of the romantic. A.nd this hero,
this lover, is Col. Fred Funaton, of the
Twentieth Kansas, now fighting beneath
the stars and stvipes at Manila.
His age? Thirty-three.
His height? Five feet four inches.
His weight? One hundred and fifteen
pounds.
His deeds? It would take a volume
to relate them.
How many batles has he fouglit% Only
twenty-three bloody battles in Cuba and.
six in and near Manila.
Has he suffered a wound? His left arm
has been mutilated by the fragments of
a shell; his lungs have been pierced "by a
Mauser bullet; his thigh has bec-n crushed
by a horse falling on him in battle, and
he has suffered the tortures of the Cuban
fever.
Has he ever been near unto death? He
was sentenced to death when a prisoner
in the hands of the Spaniards; he
wrestled with death in .the Icy waters
of the Yukon river, and afterward almost
perished of pneumonia within a short
distance of the Arctic circle.
Has he ever been in love? Yes, short
and decisive his love making. He met
her at San Francisco on the eve of his
departure for Manila, won her, defied tho
red tape of the war department, made a
steed of the troopship and carried her off
to Manila a la young Lochinvar.
What was his last exploit? Only this:
When the enemy burned the bridges
across the Marilao river, on March 28,
with twenty volunteers he swam the
swift, muddy current, fought his way
to the opposite bank and captured eighty
rebels. That's all, only It was a swim
that cufswims. Leander!
Truly a picturesque personage, this Col.
Funston, of Kansas!
CHAPTER I.
When, some twenty years ago, there
came to Kansas f re m Springfield, 0., .a
small family that had harksned to the
cry "Westward ho!" (he older settlers did
not know that a uertatn small boy in -that
family, with very black-eyes and very
r?d hair, would some day challenge the
attention of every man of the state. That
boy was Fred Funaton. Ue was a very
ft fHlf *STl f "PJftjL v 6Wfi&.. &lMjiY, ' APfcllJ 16, s 1899.
ordinary youngster, aged thirteen. Hts
voice was soft and low, hia manner
quiet. Ins deportment good. He was
chielly noted as "a boy who loved hia
mother." : . .
The boy Funston attended the public
school in Topeka; was sent to the state
university. He graduated and stood on
the world's threshold, wondering by what
door he should enter. Before him were
the doors entering into the many walks
of life. Professions, occupations con
fronted him. He selected that of the
newspaper man.
Almost immediately there was an In
dian outbreak.
Funston joined the troops to report
their movements.
In sadness, Funston went home to his
mother to lament In his quiet, soft voice,
into her gentle, sympathetic ears, that
"the righting is over; now what shall I
do?" Through the influence of his father,
then Congressman Funston, he became
attached to the agricultural department.
Picture a man whose nostrils, built on
the plans of Job's warehouse, looking
over se.-ds and speculating in his mind
on the productivity of acres, or the
germinating powers of seeds in "different
soils! Water will find a level, and Funs
ton, like water, found his even in the
quiet, old agricultural department. He
was selocted to lead an expedition to
Death Valley, In Southern California, In
order to make a geological investigation.
L'eath Valley! Just the place for an
indomitable felolw like Funston. Death
Valley la the most desolate waste In this
country. For nine months the expedition
suffered every kind of privation, but
Funston took ; the : record 6f the highest
temperature ' ever measured by any gov
ernment, I'hich was 165 degrees ..Kahren
heit.
The chiefs of the department, delighted
with hia energy, ability, daring .^and
hardihood, conceived the mighty notion
that if Funeton could attain success in
the. highest temperature, possibly he
could wrestle Ice-bound secrets In the
lowest. He was twice sent to Alaska for
botanical explorations. The second ex
pediton almost proved disastrous, as
death wrestled with him twice-Hfticef by
drowning, once by pneumonia.
CHAPTER 11.
For several months Fred Funston, wlib
had become a considerable personage in
Kansas, rested. Under his mother's gen
tle care his health soon fully re-estab
lished Itself. Then came restlessness.
That is all. The cries of the Cubans
had reached his ears; his love of adven
ture, stimulated him to action.
Fresh in the minds of readers of news
is that concerning the trim filibustering
steamer Dauntless. One day in August,
1896, she apepared off the Cuban coast,
400 miles east of Havana. She had on
board 1,300 breech-loading rifles, two
Hotchkiss guns and a vast quantity of
ammunition. Looking over the rail,
watching with keen, earnest eyes the lov»
verdure-covered coast, was Fred Funston
the central figure in a band of thirty
six intrepid spirits who had sailed on
orders from the junta on two hours' no
tice. The expedition landed and Gomea
received the first two Hotchkiss guns for
the Insurgent army. Two weeks later
Funston was doubly enrolled in the Cu
ban army under Maximo Gomez, and
in charge of the Hotchkiss guns with the
rank of captain of artillery. These guna
he commanded in the twelve days' siege
of Cascorra, a small town defended by
three forts, and in the ensaement at La
Mfichuca, with the Spanish column on
Oct. 4.
The coolness, daring and energy of the
young captain of artillery inspired the
ragged troops, and elicited the admiration
of Gen. Gomez.
In Septmber Maj. Funston, with his
arm swathed In bandages and buttoned
to his side, in command of the artillery,
participated in the battles of Lugonaa
and Cascorras, and marched afterwards
to the east with Garcia. And then be
gins his long career of battles, or. more
properly speaking, engagements, east of
the Canto river.
At Las Tumas Maj. Funston command
ed five guns, including the Sims-Dudley
pneumatic dynamite eun, which wrought
such deadly havoc. For fjallautry he was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant-co!o
nel on the fall of Las Tunas.
At Samai, Funston was shot through
both lungs. Fortunately the bullet was
the stel tipped Mauser. It penetrated
the lungs, leaving a clean, round hole,
which quickly closed and healed. Had
It been other than a mauser, Funston
would not today be the hero of Manila.
Crippled, wounded, sick with fever,
worn with eighteen months of service,'
Funston arrived In this country to seek
rest and recovery In a hospital.
CHAPTER IIL
As soon as Funston was released from
the hospital he went to his home.
Then came the Maine Incident.
The cry of war stirred the people- it
inflamed Funston.
Funston determined to raise a regi
ment. Not having influence in Washing
ton he appealed to Gov. Leady, of Kan
sas. He was given authority to command
It as colonel. He wished to raise a regi
men to rival Col. Leonard Wood's and
Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt's Rough
Riders. Men were quickly enlisted and
the regiment was called the Twentieth
Kansas.
At this time Gen. Miles, anxious to
secure men on his staff acquainted with
Cuba, summoned him to Tampa. He was
promised that his regiment should be un
der a general with whom he should serve
if he were to, be retained on the staff
To Tampa the news came on May 16 that
the San Francisco, en route for the Phil
ippines under the command of Lieut Col
Little, former private secretary to Gov
Leedy. Then came the order from the
war department for Col. Funston to loin
•his -regiment at Oakland, just across the
bay from San Francisco.
Dally the camo was visited by all th*
fashlnna^ie and wealthy people of the
great Western and curiosity

Ar >d rione/ were more curious, than [a

an i(]c a i soldier, a man of great shoulders,
comma nd'ing presence, eagle eye, speak
i'ljjk SiMA tl*e. voice of thunder, whose

" A ».uJI J. found, him," she said laughingly
to a friend, "a pocket Mars, with a soft,
B«VJjfcfc 'Alee, a kind, gentle manner, a

"Jou |judl see him yourself. He asked
permission to call, and, of course, as he
la the* culoiiol, I could only say, 'yes.' "
Col. ii«unston called. Like Desdemona,
she heajd the story, modestly told, of
waij in ,<fuba, t)f the Mauser bullet, of the
bursting shell, of the broken thigh, and,
w^U— heA 'pocket Mars" grew bigger and
stfonifeiJTi and nobler, and she, well, she
did what Desdemona did, she straightway
felUhjiadl over ears in love.
For two months the regiment remained
In camp In Oakland, and then the news
came that the troopship should sail. The
colonel walked on the broad piazza with
the fair young girl; beneath them shone.
In the pale moonlight, the snowy tents of
the Twentieth Kansas and near by swung
the transport at anchor. The Philippines
lay way off to the eastward, oh, how far
off? And they now were so near, in
thought, in feeling, In sympathy.
"Will you be my wife and come with
me, way over there?" asked the colonel
In his low, soft, sweet voice.
What did she reply? Well, she told
the friend: "I could only say 'yes.' "
The ship was to sail on the morrow;
the colonel had to join his regiment.
Calm -and cool and quick had Funston
been when his life was In peril; now,
when his happiness was at stake, should
he be not equally calm, cool and quick?
Certainly. A clergyman was sent for,
and when the colonel returned to camp
he left a behind him.
The ship is about to sail. The troops
march up the broad plank and enter
the transports. The colonel watches the
men; he .orders, directs; he Is too busy
to think of brides and wedding days and
weeping wives. He notices a handsome
lad in the uniform of a trumpeter; he
orders him to follow the company. The
beardless, .. soft-cheeked, big-eyed young
ster passes on board.
"What a cool, brave little colonel,"
the women who have heard of his mar
riage say; "his thoughts are all for his
- couritiai."
The last company Is on board. The
eologeji ,s3buiai;es his shoulders, marches
up Riepmnk, the ropes are cast off and
the band plays "The Girl I Left Behind
Me."
On boaj-d the troopship, pointing her
nose seaward, the|-colonel turns. He no
tices thejlad. "You shall look after my
things* irr my -cabin."
He takes the youngster to his cabin,
shuts thp door and then he embraces
thatj jioiDhlgster.
The £ood ship Is gliding through the
gates *tu-* the Pacific ana the strains of
the^band are wafted through the win
dow, playing "Hall to the Chief."

CHAPTER IV.
The ship has gone. Two days have
passed and Brig. Gen. Harrison G. Otis
is getting ready to sail. A story comes
to him that the wife of Col. Fred Funston
hasiiHiy^tferiously disappeared. The gen
eral has, the highest regard for his dare
devil colonel, and he orders questions to
be Bisiked. He receives answers. The
general . jlaughs, scowls, frowns and
orders: "Have two women taken off and
held until the Twentieth Kansas has
sailed." The general has solved "the
mysterious disappearance."
These ord.ers are/ sent by passenger ves
sel to Honolulti**and arrive before the
troopship.

CHARACTER IN THE VOICE.
Not long ago I attended the funeral of
a young .woman who had been a mem
ber of the Order of the Eastern Star.
Her sisters in the fraternity stood about
her casket to render their parts in the
burial service. I sat where I could not
see the speakers about the bier, for a
body of Masons screened them from my
view, but I could hear distinctly what
each one c said. And how the different
voices revealed the personality of each
speaker!
There was a woman, one whose nar
row life Is given up to small social am
bitions, to whom a wrinkle In her waist
Is of more moment than her soul's sal
vation; her voice had a cold, high-pitch
ed, .iieartless ring, as if all the human
timbre had died out of it— a voice which
mad* you. shrink from the owner.
By her side stood a little motherly wom
an—perhaps you would call her a woman
ly >rajnaa, for she is the kind whom
all men and children Idolize, and whom
some women envy. As she spoke, you
knew at once how tranquil and quiet
her life Is, and what a peaceful home she
has, for the voice was clear, soft, and
low. When she had ceased speaking,
the loud, decisive, dominant tones of one
born to rule, broke the sweet silence,
bringing a vision of a large masterful,
strong-minded woman, a neglected home,
and much charitable work.
A girl stood by her side, and her voice
could not lose Its happy, youthful ring,
even for the sad occasion at which she
officiated. Hopeful, joyous youth and a
sunshiny life were expressed In her tones.
The last speaker was an elderly woman,
who .had suffered, endured, and loved
much, and because her own life has been
so full of the bitter and the sweet, she
has a broad, generous sympathy for every
living creature, and as the rich, full,
sympathetic, beautiful voice fell upon the

It has been said that the voice of the

although the climatic conditions may
have much to do with It, It is possible
that pleasing voices may be. , cultivated.
