Bears the Kind You Have Always Bought
MACCtT SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 8 1898
WIFE POISONER.
Wealthy Merchant of Kansas
Arrested on This Charge.
By Associated Press.
Lawrence, Kas., Oct. B—J. J. Kungle, a
wealthy merchant, has been arrested
charged with having murdered his wife by
poisoning.
Mrs. Kunkle died ten days ago. About
four weeks previous to the woman's death,
Birdie Cominyore, her 14-year-old daugh
ter from her former husband, died after a
lingering illness which baffled the skill of
the family physician.
A few days before the death of Mrs.
Kunkle she told her neighbors that she
was being slowly poisoned and also that
her daughter had been poisoned.
An analysis of the woman’s stomach
showed strong signs of arsenic and upon
this showing and upon the testimony of
neighbors of the Kunkies, the jury return
ed a verdict that 'Mrs. Kunkle came to her
death by poison administered at the hands
of her husband and “others to the jury
unknown.”
The former wife of Kunkle is said to
have died suddenly after her life had been
heavily insured.
THIRD - GEORGIA
Mav Come to Carnival—Gov
ernment Gives Permission.
A telegram was received last night by
President Waxelbaum from Congressman
Bartlett saying that the government would
let the Third Georgia come here during the
carnival if the Carnival Association would
pay the expense of transportation.
President Waxelbaum immediately con
ferred with Chairman Talbott of the fi
nance committee, and they decided that if
the regimentcould be brought here cheaply,
they would pay the expense of the trans
portation. They a<re negotiating with the
railroads as to the rates, and it will be
known this afternoon what will be done.
Everybody is anxious to see the Third
Georgia and it would be a great attraction
during the Carnival, and if once brought
here the government might order it to be
camped here until the brigade to which it
belongs goes to Augusta.
NEW FEATURES
For Patriotic Day—Will Greatly Add to the
Parade.
Several additions have been made to the
Patriotic day parade. The Elks, who
some time ago gave up the idea of having
a float in the parade have reconsidered
the matter, and will have a beautiful float
to represent them on that day.
The Knights of Pythias will also have a
float in the procession. One of the pret
tiest features of the narade will be the
float of the Georgia and Alabama Business
College.
All of the young ladies who attend the
college will ride on the float designed by
Bros. Martin and the young nlen of the
college, about 150 in number, will march
in the parade. This will prove -to be a
very attractive feature and will do a great
deal toward making the parade a success.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Will Hold Its Regular Meeting Monday
Night.
The board of education will hold its
regular meeting at the office of the su
perintendent Monday night. The regu
lar business will be transacted and the re
port of the superintendent in regard to the
opening of the ■schools will be received.
The board will take up several other
minor details of the school work and the
remainder of the session will be devoted
entirely to routine business. Superintend
ent Abbott said this morning that he had
a few application for admision cards today
and that he would expect a few more. He
has mailed several thousand copies of his
annual report to the principals of other
schools throughout the state. He says
that the schools are all progressing finely
and that everything is in good shape.
THANKS THE TEACHERS.
A derm ß n Morgan Wants It Uneerstood that
They Deserve the Credit.
Aiderman Morgan, chairman of the
living flag committee of the Carnival,
wishes through the columns of the News
to thank the teachers of the public
schools, who have so ably assisted the
committee in the work of preparing for
this feature of the Carnival. He wishes
it understood that the credit is entirely
due to the teachers, for without their as
sistance it would have been impossible to
do anything. He believes that this fea
ture will, by their aid and kindly interest,
be a complete success.
INDEPENDENCE
To what Philippine Delegation
Sought at Washington.
By Associated Press.
New York. Oct. S —Senor Agoncillo and
Senor Lopez, cf Manila, envoys of the
Philippine insurgents who have been in
Washington conferring with President
McKinley, accompanied by M. Lambert,
will sail for France today on the steamer
La Touarine.
When seen by a reporter Senor Agon
cillo said that his visit to New York had
no specif significance. His mission in
Washington, which had been to obtain
official representation at the peace con
ference, had failed. He said he and Senor
Lopez would now be obliged to trust to the
good will of the peace commissioners in
appearing before them. Senor Agoncillo,
in conclusion said:
“We are anxious to secure an independ
ent government for our people. I believe
that we would make as rapid progress in
dependently as under the protection of the
United States. Spain has, as everyone
knows, suppressed our industries and caus
ed stagnation in the country. Under our
own government there would be every in
centive to progress.”
Horatio S. Rubens, counsel of the Cuban
Junta, said that Estrada Palma, the Cuban
delegate, has been asked if Mr. Quesada,
who has represented the Junta at Wash
ington at various times, had decided to ac
cede to the request of the Philippine dele
gation that he would take the same office
for them. It is not known here whether
Mr. Quesada will accede to the request.

■ INDIAN UPRISING
Mav Yet Be the Result—Ba
con’s Dispatch.
By Associated Frees.
Washington, Oct. B.—The following dis
patch has been received by the war de
partment:
Walker, Minn —Adjutant General, Wash
ington—l arrived here at noon with my de
tachment. The killed and badly wounded
■were shipped to Fort Snelling this morn
ing. The Indians have been badly whipped
and have left the country adjacent to the
fight. En route here another of the Chip
pewa bands displayed white flags along the
shore.
There is much talk here of a general
Indian outbreak. I will ascertain the
facts and report later. I find Colonel Har
•bach at this place with two hundred men
of the Third infantry. I will remain my
self and keep the troops here waiting de
velopments. I regret exaggerated rumors
resulting from my inability to communi
cate. I had been in no danger of a mas
sacre and needed no reinforcements.
