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.

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.
