Kellar returned, to the home of his deserted wife and attempted to
induce her 15-year-old daughter to run away with him. When baffled In
this he began selling the woman's furniture.
This maddened the women of the town, and they, with the help of a
few men, summarily banished him.

Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 6.—Paul O.
Stensland is now In the hands of
American authorities represented by
Minister Gummere.
Shortly before noon today Inatruc
tlons to the sultan of Morocco to sur
render the fugitive bank wrecker were
received at the American legation.
An appointment for 2 o’clock waa made
by an attache of the legation. At that
hour Minister Gummere, preceded and
followed by a guard of honor of Arab
soldiers, rode to Beaguln to the ofllce
of the minister of foreign affairs of
Morocco.
Moor Gladly Conssnted.
Said Hohamed Morres, the Moroccan
minister, was waiting for Minister
Gummere. The conference was a short
one. Afterward Minister Gummere atat
ed that the Moorish officials gladly
consented to the surrender of the pris
oner and offered the use of the sul
tan's army, If necessary, to deport him.
Stensland 'wrote a letter
daughter last night, which was read
by the authorities before It was mailed.
As a matter of fact,* the dread of be
ing placed In the hands of the Moors
put Stensland In a blue funk. Two
weeks ago the head of an Arab was
cut off and borne away in triumph on
a long pole In front of the Cecil hotel,
the most prominent hotel In the town.
A few days later warring tribes had a
Itched battle in the big market
i which seven were killed.
Had Plannsd a Brswsry.
These Moorish pleasantries created
not a ripple of excitement locally, but
Stensland thought If he ever got Into
the hands of the Arabs he never would
see what he Is living for—Chicago,
It Is Impossible to say just when we
will start home with the prisoner. That
depends on the answer of the state de
partment to the Inquiries sent to
Washington.

A political slate carefully scribed
with bold lettering and secreted with
equal care from the public gaze was
unveiled with startling celerity Tues
day afternoon at the adjourned session
of tho city council.
W. Kilpatrick tendered his resig
nation as water commissioner from the
Fourth ward. It was accepted. M. M.
Welch was nominated as the successor.
But unfortunately Mr. Welch waa not
elected.
Wednesday afternoon at the regular
session cf the water board the slate
was broken Into smithereens. Mr. Kil
patrick was not elected secretary. Now-
rumor bus it that he will not bo elected
William It. Dlmmock's successor.
The moves and c-.unter moves con
nected with the election of tho new
secretary compose one of the most In
teresting political situations brought
about for some time. If given In de
tail a large piece of fabric could be
woven out of the threads. Slmpllfled,
It Imppened as follows:
M. M. Welch resigned from the wa
ter board some six weeks hack because
of leaving the Second ward to live In
the Fourth.
Last Monday some live or six of tjie
water commissioners put their heads
together and agreed to put J. W. Kil
patrick ln the secretary’s chair and to
put Mr. Welch back on the board as
the representative from the Fourth
ward.
This was kept dark until a few hours
bofore the session of council on Tues
day lost, the plan being to have Mr.
Kilpatrick's resignation accepted and
Immediately to hove Mr. Welch elect
ed.
Twenty minutes before council was
called to order the plan was discovered
by several of those In opposition to one
or both of the gentlemen named.
According to the city code, all elec
tions by council must be presided over
by the mayor.
The Mayor Flssz.
Mayor Woodward was seen and told
the plan. He had not been officially
Informed that his presence was wanted
at council, and, having some Impor
tant business at his other offlee, closed
up his shop on the third floor of the
city hall. After attending to his pri
vate business he went out to enjoy the
cool fresh air of tho rural districts.
Mr. Kilpatrick's resignation was read
out before council and was. In Its word
ing, unconditional. It was accepted.
Mr. Welch’s name was proposed as the
commissioner from the fourth ward to
succeed Mr. Kilpatrick. The mayor
was sought and round absent. An at
tempt was made to get Mayor Pro
Tern. Harwell to hold the election In
the absence of the mayor. Mr. Har

Hon. S. Guyton McLendon has op
position for railroad commissioner.
That la, Hon. Thomas C, Crenshaw
thinks he has.
Wednesday Mr. Crenshaw camo down
from his mountain home at Holly
Springs, Cherokee county, and made a
peremptory demand upon Secretary of
State Phil Cook to have his name put
upon the election blank as a candidate
for that offlee.
At flrst. Secretary Cook declined, os
the blanks were then In the hands of
the printer, nnd furthermore. It had
been his Invariable custom In the past
to put only the names of the nominees
of parties .thereon.
Ho explained to tho former railroad
commissioner that tho Democratic par
ty had furnished the names of its nonr-
and that the Socialist party had
done likewise and the names of the
candidates of these two parties were on
the blanks.
Had the Republicans or Populists
made nominations, their names would
have gone on also.
Mr. Crenshaw Insisted that he had
the right to have his name inserted In
the blanks, as he was a candidate, and
had as much right to hnve it there as
Mr. McLendon or Hoke Smith, or nny
other man.
Referred to Attorney General.
Secretary Cook then naked him to
fllo a written demand. This Mr. Cren
shaw did. Tho former then referred
this demand to Attorney General Hart.
The attorney general hold that It was
question of practicability and the
secretary of state must determine that
for himself.
The only Inw upon the subject de
clares that the secretary of state shall
put the names of alt candidates upon
the blanks ns far ns "practicable."
In speaking of the matter Thursday,
Secretary Cook said:
’’The attorney general put It up to
me; I put It up to the printer, nnd the
printer put his name upon the blanks."
Therefore, Mr. Crenshnw Is a full-
fledged candidate for railroad commis
sioner, running ns an Independent.
Formerly a Member,
Colonel Thomae C. Crenshnw form
erly hold the office of railroad commis
sioner for the term of six years, being
appointed to tho board by the late Gov
ernor W. Y. Atkinson.
At the expiration of his term, ex-
Governor Allen D. Candler appointed
G. Gunty Jordan, of Columbus, as hie
successor.
When Commlssloneg Jordan re
signed, Governor Terrell nppolnted
Commissioner Joseph M. Brown. The
convention at Macon Tuesday nomi
nated Hon. S. G. McLendon, of Monroe,
to succeed nrown.
Mr. Crenshaw Is opposing Mr. Mc
Lendon, the Democratic nominee.
YEARNING FOR COUNTRY
WOMAN KILLS HERSELF
AFTER FAILING ONCE
While her little daughter slept peace
fully on a bed within a few feet of
her, Mrs. Ila Hawes, of 881 Marietta
street, Thursday morning was success
ful In her second attempt at aulclde
within the week. "Blame no one but
me. I am responsible," read a note
found near her.
She has been In a state bordering on
nervous prostration for the post sev
eral weeks, and had got to the point
where little things preyed upon her
mind and gave her undue worry.
Her hushand, B. H. Hawes, a flnlsher
In the employ of the National Furni
ture Company, was awakened about 8
o’clock Thursday morning by the
groans of hts wife, who was in the
next room with Lillie Belle, their child.
He went to her, and realizing at once
what was the matter, called County
Policeman S. R. Dunbar, who lives next
door. Drs. Christian, Freeman and
Fisher were Immediately summoned,
but they could not render any assist
ance. She had taken a large dose of
laudanum and by the time she was
found It had put her beyoud the skill
of the physicians.
Wednesday night she pleaded with
her husband to move to the country
whither her mother, Mrs. G. W. Wood,
was to go In a few days. Mr. Hawes
reasoned with his wife, trying to con
vince her that he could not support
her and their child In the country, but
that he was making a good living for
them In his present occupation. It is
supposed that her disappointment,
combined with her deranged physical
condition, drove her to take the dose
which killed her.
Tried Suicide Friday.
Last Friday she was found In the
wood-shed on the Hawes property aft
er taking large doses of Inudanum and
morphine. These two drugs counter
acted each other, however, and she got
well. Since that time her husband has
been watching her carefully, and how
she got the laudanum she took Thurs
day morning Is a mystery.
Her husband and the neighbor- and
doctora worked with the dying woman
from the time she was found at 3
’clock until n few minutes past 9. but
In spite of all
not be saved.
