LITTLE LUCILLE Teddy for Turning Papa January Loose. KANSAS CITY. July 19. -William January, or Charles. Anderson, as he is known to the people of Kansas.

City, was released at 5:30 o'clock this morning from the federal prison, Leavenworth, and departed on an electric car for his home. Outside the prison walls he was met by Fred Altergott, one of the promoters of the petition which secured Anderson's pardon. Altergott and Anderson took breakfast at a restaurant on Delaware street and shortly afterwards took a car for Kansas City. The freed man arrived here shortly after 8 o'clock: and went home, where his wife and daughter, Lucille, threw. their arms around him.

It was an affecting scene. Mrs. Anderson had breakfast prepared for him, of which he ate sparingly, as it was his second meal in two hours. Shortly after. Lucille begged her mother and father to be allowed to send President Roosevelt a message thanking him for kindness sin allowing her papa to come A home.

With her mother's aid she indited the following: "President Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, L. thank you for sending papa home to me and mamma. We are all happy and papa says, he is going to be a good man for us and his country. (Signed) "LUCILLE ANDERSON." TERRIFIC DOWNPOUR Rain Storm Kindly Gives Fort Wayne Another Washing. Another terrific rainstorm Fort Wayne about 1:15 o'clock.

this afternoon and drenched the city completely during the fifteen minutes in which the rain fell. The downpour was especially severe and many of the sewers in the down-town district became clogged with refuse and were unable: to carry off the water. At the corner near the New Aveline hotel the water backed up on Calhoun: and terry streets for nearly half a block, early to the centers of the thoroughfares. The downfall was accompanied by a rather strong wind and it is feared that the hay wheat crops have been greatly damaged. Both the hay and wheat are about ready for harvesting, but the repeated rains have made the ground so wet that it is difficult to work in them, and today's storm will not help matters.

Pugilist Goes to Prison. LONDON, July Palmer, former bantamweight champion pugilist, was today. sentenced, to five years' imprisonment at the Guilford assizes on conviction of manslaughter, his victim being a gas stoker named Chonte. The trouble occurred on May 24 when Palmer, with a companion, was returning from the Epsom races. Choate was in the same railway compartment with them and It was testified a quarrel occurred because: Choate would not stop singing.

A witness testified Palmer struck el SHOT AT GLIDDEN TOURISTS. WHY PASTOR COOKE ELOPED AUGUST BELMONT SAID IT'S BECAUSE HIS SALARY WAS TOO SMALL. NEW YORK, July Belmont has revealed himself to New Yorkers in a new role, that of an advocate. of self-denial- -for others. His lecture on then was delivered last night: congregation of St.

cullect, George's church, Hempstead, where he is a summer worshipper, in urging that the salary of the pastor be increased from $1,500 to $2,500. Belmont urged self-denial on the congregation so that they could put more in the collection basket and make the increase possible. Belmont declared he believed the troubles of the former pastor, Jere K. Cooke, who eloped recently with seventeen-year-old Floretta Whaley, had been caused because his salary did not allow him to live as the position demanded. The traction magnate urged women of the congregation to give up a few of their trips to summer resorts and give the savings to the minister.

He likewise suggested the men might cut down their number of cigars daily. As he is interested in two other churches, Belmont didn't feel able to make up the balance he thought the pastor should get. FAILS SECOND TIME He Promised to Be Good on Second Marriage and Broke the The Courts: Barbara Thullen has applied for a divorce from Adam Thullen. They were married in 1905 and separated last February, Attorney R. B.

Dreibelbiss filed the compla at and secured an order in the superior court restraining Thullen from disposing of his property, mortgaging it or. drawing his money from banks. or his wages from the Pennsylvania company, She alleges that they were married several years ago and he was so cruel in his treatment that she was forced to get a divorce. On the promise of marriage a second time he made all sorts of stipulations that he would be a good, and true husband. Then he didn't.

After Alimony. The Columbia City Commercial-Mail says: "Mrs. Jesse Wurtsbaugh and daughter, Miss Jessie Wurtsbaugh, of Fort Wayne, spent Wednesday in this city visiting friends and looking after some business matters, Mr. Wurtsbaugh was formerly a practitioner at the bar in city, About fifteen years ago Mr. and Mrs.

Wurtsbaugh had some trouble and Mrs. Wurtsbaugh secured a divorce from her husband. The husband was to pay her two dollars per week for the support of the daughter if she left this city. It: seems that the husband has not been paying the two dollars and left this city, and the divorced wife, after searching for him, at last located him in Iowa and there, it seems, can secure a judgment against him if the circuit at this place will. rule that she has lived up to her part of the agreement made when she was granted the divorce here."
