E. Campbell, an old resident of Wathena, died last Friday night, aged 88 years. At the time his death his aged wife was in a very low state of health and she, too, followed her husband to the unknown world Sunday. The funeral of the husband had been postponed, and they were buried together Monday afternoon. They are survived by three ters and a son.

Mr, Campbell came to Kansas in 1850 and started a store in He went to Wathena from there in 1864, and was in the mercantile business from that time up to his retirement six years ago. -A most brutal murder occurred in St. Joseph Sunday afternoon when James Stratton, better known as stabbed and almost instantly killed his wife Elvira and stepdaughter, Amanda Jones, following a quarrel over family affairs.

After the killing, Stratton fled west across the Grand Island bridge and was captured by Marshal Wells, of Elwood, had been notified in advance of his coming.

He was taken back to St. Joseph and placed in the county jail. The murder is one of the most brutal which has 00. curred in St. Joseph for some time.

Bill Morgan says he can testtify that St. Joseph has 8 good police force. He went over there Monday to buy some horse blanklets for his livery stable, returning on the G. I. at 9 p.m.

He bought the blankets at Aniser's 6th and Messanie, and had them in a sack for convenience in carrying. It was after nightfall when he started to walk south on 6th street to the Union Depot, when about opposite the Brown Transfer Co. he was accosted by a couple of plain clothes men and asked what he had in his sack, As Bill turned to look, on being questioned, po. liceman recognized him, so further investigation was not considered necessary. But Bill says he had explained all about the sack by that time, and that it didn't take him no time to tell them all about his livery barn in Troy.

We would advise Bill not to be out in St. Joe any more after dark, -We submit a few facts this week for the careful consideration of our readers, and the people of Troy and this vicinity generally. We desire to state that the sale of the REPUBLICAN its present owner, was a bond fide trunsaction. As to Mr. Hopper, who started the paper here, we have had no dealings with him and did not know there such a person in existence until we came here three weeks ago, Neither is it our mis.

sion to either defend or condemn his acts or policies, but it will be our aim to try to give Troy a good, reliable home newspaper. It is largely a business proposition with us, Like others, we have a living to make and decided to try by honorable means to make it in Troy. The opinion was expressed by sev. eral reputable, representative citizens here before we started that there was another paper wanted here, and without solicitation they pledged their entire support, Our policy will be to live and let live, boost, and stand at all times for the good of Troy and its people. We have already received sufficient encouragement during our short stay to feel that our efforts are being appreciated here, and we confidently look forward to the success of the REPUBLICAN, Frances Katner is Dead.

Word was received with general sorrow in Troy Monday of the death at her home in Joplin, of Miss Frances Katner, County Superintendent of instruction of this county fourteen years ago. Miss Katner had been a sufferer from consumption for about seventeen years, and her death ends one of the bravest battles a human being ever waged against the great destroyer. She tried every climate. outdoor life, every known remedy, and in fact she did nothing else but devote her time to getting well during the past ten years. At.

no time, apparently, did she lose faith that in the end she would be victorious, In the spring of 1903 her affliction had reached such a stage that she began sitting up at nights, and has never laid down an hour during all the years since. At many times she has publicly urged people to take better care of themselves, and not "rush unheedingly past all the danger She urged upon all those who are -healthy as well as upon those who are afflicted, the necessity of "good plain, substantial food, rest and contentment of mind. Miss Katner was born in Doniphan county and with the exception of the periods she has spent elsewhere seeking for health, has lived in Doniphan and Atchison counties all her life. Her real trouble began when county superintendent of Doniphan county, fourteen years ago, in taking cold on the long across country drives, which she was compelled to take. Her parents were the late Mr.

and Mrs. August Katner. With them and a sister, Josephine, she moved to Atchison 12 years and taught in the high school there for three years and at the county high school at Effingham the succeeding two years. About this time she changed climate, and became a teacher in the government indian schools in Northern California, She also taught in the Haskell Indian School at Lawrence, later. She was a woman of highest intellect, a loving and companionable nature, and possessed a will that nevershirkedat any duty.

She was beloved and respected by all who knew her, and died in her forty year. The body was taken to Atchison for interment in the Mount Ver11011 cemelery Tuesday. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. M. C.

Lawson, of Excelsior Springs, Mo. and two brothers, F. L. and C. W.

Katner, of Joplin, Mo. Constipation causes headache, nausea, dizziness, languor, heart palpitation. Drastic physics, gripe, sicken, weaken the bowels and don't cure. Doan's Regulets act gently and cure constipation. 25c.
