THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, rv r- X. AN OLD MAN STABBED REV. DR. J.

A. DEAIinORX VICTIM OP A tVOLXD-BE ASSXSblS. WAS ASSAULTED IN THE DARK. DRAGGED THROUGH AX ALLEY I.N TO A VACAXT LOT. His Anllnnt, Ilellevlnc Him Dead, Left Illra There Found Uneon- clon nt an Early Hour Ex-Stnte President ot Mlifiourl A.

P. A. Rev. Dr. John A.

Dearborn, cx-presldent of the A. P. A. of M'ssourl, was brutally assaulted at 11 o'clock Friday night by an unknown man, In a vacant lot In the rear of J. S.

Stone's restaurant, at 1821 East Ninth street. He was found about o'clock yesterday momins by Mr. Stone, who heard groanlnc when he opened his rear door, and upon investigation found Dr. Dearborn in a partially unconscious condition, lying: in a patch of weeds. He was removed to his home, 1107 Michigan avenue.

REV. DR. J. A. DEARBORN, Victim of the Assault, and.

ex-State President of the Missouri P. A. by Mr. Stone, J. M.

Suavely and his son, L. I. Dearborn, and Dr. Li. G.

Van Scoyoc summoned. The latter found Dr. Dearborn's wounds to consist of three small stabs near the region of the heart, and a lump over tho risht eye, which was undoubtedly made by a heavy, blunt instrument Dr. Dearborn is 71 years of ace. and though his wounds considered dangerous because of the" shock their infliction must have rendered his enfeebled constitution, they are not considered necessarily fatal, and but for the long time the wounded man spent in the night air.

partially unconscious-his condition is not considered dangerous: The" same wounds inflicted upon a young man would be considered of no consequence whatever. The police were notified "of the assault on Dr. Dearborn shortly after he was found, and several detectives wero detailed on the case. Beyond the finding by John Moore, of 919 Brooklyn avenue, of the knife with which- the wounds were inflicted, about 9 In the alley, there is absolutely no clue whatever to the identity of the would-be assassin or assassins. The knife that the stab wounds were made with is a new affair, with a three-inch blade, sharpened like a razor, and the police believe they will be able; by ample Investigation, to locate where and by whom it was purchased.

Dr. Dearborn attended a meeting of A. P. A. council No.

72 at the A. O. U. hall. 1212 East Ninth street.

He left the meeting about 10:30, and walked east on Ninth street with John Vaughn, a constable in Justice Spitz' court, to the corner of Ninth street and Michigan avenue, where they separated, Vaughn going east and Dr. Dearbcrn turning south into Michigan avenue. At thl? point J. S. Stone has a confectionery store, on the southwest corner.

Back of the store is a small garden surrounded by a garden fence. About ten feet from Michigan avenue is a gate in the fence, which opens into the alley. As Dr. Dearborn left Vaughn at the corner he descried a mants form ahead of him In the darkness, but as -there Is no gas light near, he soon lot sight of the supposed man and picked his way along the battered sidewalk with hl walking cone. He is lame, and as the condition of the sidewalks in the vicinity is very bed.

Dr. Dearborn employed his entire attention in his effort to keep on his feet His Where tho Assault Was Committed Upon Rev. Dr. Dearborn. last thought was ot an assassin lurking In 4he alley he was approaching.

As Dr. Dearborn passed the alley a man sprang out of thP darkness and dealt him a powerful blow over the right eye. He was temporarily stunned, but. recovering almost Immediately, grappled with his assailant who drew his knife and made three savage lunges in me airecuon oi mt uoc-tor's heart. Kecllnc the cold blade of the keen knife penetrating his fle-sh, and yielding at last to the effects of the cruel blow over his right eve.

Dr. Dearborn was over-come and fell fainting to the earth. Thinking ills dastardly work had been well performed, the would-be asassln-dragged Dr. Dearborn's prostrate form through a hole In the fence into the rear garden of Con-jecttcnor Store. Here he lay until Mr.

Stone found him at 6 o'clock, and assisted in his removal home. At his home he had frequent periods of consciousness, during which he would wildly swing his hands and talk incoherently about one man, a white man, having been his assailant. He would utter loud cries and say he was being murdered. The lapel of his coat was torn, evincing that he had struggled with his assailant. When his body was found his diamond shirt stud had not been tnken, showing that robbery was not Intended when the assault was made.

The only money he had, a 5-cent piece, was In his pocket He had left his watch at Irome the night before. Everything pointed to the fact that murder was Ki" only object. Dr. Dearborn Is a minister of the Christian church, but for a number of years lias been a prominent supporter of and worker for the American Protective Association. Three years ago he was elected president for Missouri, lie has seized evry opportunity to make political speeches against the Catholic church.

He even toured the country to make A. P. A. speeches. The assault on Dr.Dcarborn Frldav night Is not the first one he has been subjected to.

About three years ago, while returning from an A. p. A. meeting, near the corner of Twenty-first street and Bellcfontalno avenue, he was set upon bj- unknown men and beaten Into unconsciousness. He was found under a sidewalk, where he had been thrown through a coal hole on Twenty-first, near Summit street.

Again, about two years ago, after making a radical A. P. A. speech on the West clde, he was walking on the Summit street coble track near Nineteenth street while he waited for a car. when he was stopped by three -men.

who asked him if he was lftiF. H.6 rtolled that he was, and (f si www Jfevk should be admired for his candor. Without further parley he was beaten soundly and told to take the first car home. Dr. Dearborn Improving.

When Dr. Van Scoyoc called at the Dearborn home last evening he fdund Dr. Dearborn In a much improved condition, with a tendency to a much clearer understanding of what transpired about him. He would permit, however, of nothing regarding the assault being said to the semi-unconscious man. and there are no new developments In' the case whatever.

During Dr. Van Scoyoc's visit the doctor revived sufficiently to state that his assailant wai a white man. a reiteration of his statement in the morning Just after he was found. Contrary to the statement made in an evening paper that the Dearborn family has some Idea of the Identity of Dr. Dearborn's assailant, it was positively stated at the residence last evening that there are no grounds whatever for such a statement, and if there were they would cer-ainly not be made known to a reporter.

The family believes the doctor was assaulted by a. pernicious man, who sought to revenge himself for some belief he cherishes. Dr. Dearborn said to his daughter a few days since, in speaking of his advancing old age: "I have a long time to live yet" Some hint was advanced that perhaps hl enemies would seek him out and destroy him. "Why, lie replied.

"I have not an enemy in the orld." AVATCHMAX DEEDED "WATCHING. He Mnfcen OS "With Fund Helonglnc to the Helping: llnnil. Fred Cameron, who has been employed at the Helping Hand Institute as a night watchman, has decamped with $1S, two gold rings, and a long watch chain, which were given him In trust to keep. The police have been notified. Lewis TV'lmer Arrested.

TJnknovrn Man Instantly Killed Laat KlKbt Between the City and Falrmonnt Parle. An unknown man was struck and instantly killed about 7:30 o'clock last night by an incoming Air line passenger train at a-point near Elmdale, a small station between Kansas City and Falrmount park. As the train in question approached the little depot last evening, therewas no signal to stop and Engineer M. M. Griffin made no preparation to stop his engine.

Suddenly a man appeared on the track a few feet ahead of the train. The engine was' reversed, but it was too late and the man was struck and knocked about fifteen feet. He was picked up by the train hands and brought to Central police station, where it was discovered his legs and one arm were broken and his body was badly mashed. He had a return trip ticket over the Maple Leaf to Woodruff. a small station near Leavenworth.

Kas. He had no other papers. He had the appearance of a worklngman, wore a rough light suit of clothing, was partially bald and gray and had a sandy gray mustache. He was about 45 years of age. Coroner Bedford ordered the body taken to Stewart's and will hold an Inquest Monday.

A PROMINENT MAJnTt. FIRM Make nn Extensive 'Pnrclinse The Dee Hire Secures a Lame Part of the H. T. Slmons-Gren- ory Dry Goods Stock. Mr.

Schlff. the manager or the Bee Hive store, 912 and 914 Main street, spent several days in St. Louis recently. The result of Mr. SchifTs sojourn in the "convention town" was big purchase of dry goods from the Simons-Gregory stock, which is being offered on the present depressed wholesale market Now, the Bee Hive management has never been accused of sleeping during business- hours, nor was this an exception when such a snap as the St.

Louis people offered the Bee Hive was on the grounds to get the best of It. Their advertisement in this paper better the bargains they got by the bargains they are offering. Mr. Schlff said to a reporter for the Journal in speakine of the matter late last night, "There never has been, in all the sales offered to the public, such a slaughter, a downright bottom rock snap, as wo shall show when we open our doors Monday, morning." "I have secured additional salespeople to wait upon the rush we are to surely have." continued Mr. Schiff, "and everything is In readiness for the) biggest dry goods sale known to the people of this city.

The sale extends to every department, as the advertisement -shows." PERSONAL. S. E. Edgar, St Louis, 1st at the Coates. Charles H.

belong to the past. Our duties as lovers of our country are present, and we must meet and deal with existing conditions, and to these the late National Democratic convention addressed itself. Its platform asserts truths which can be demonstrated, and it correctly defines Democratic principles. It asserts that "the Democratic party Is pledged to equal and exact Justice to all men of every creed and condition; to the largest freedom of the Individual, consistent with good government; to the preservation of the federal government In Its constitutional vigor, and to the support of me smies. in an meir just ngnis; to economy In the public expenditures; to the maintenance of the public faith, and sound money: and it Is opposed to paternalism, and all class "It also asserts that 'the declarations of the Chicago convention attack individual freedom, the right of private contract, the independence of the judiciary and the authority of the president to enforce federal laws.

They advocate a reckless attempt to Increase the price of silver by legislation to the debasement of our monetary standard, and threaten unlimited issues of paper money by the government. 'They abandon for Republican allies, the Democratic cause of tariff r-form. to court the favor of protectionists to their fiscal "It then asserts, with earnestness and In terms which will not satisfy those who assert it to be 'the duty of a Democrat to first vote the ticket and then read the platform, 'that in view of these and other grave departures from Democratic principles, we cannot support the candidates of that convention nor be bound by its "The convention held in Indianapolis then declares, with force and exactness the Democratic doctrines with respect to taxation, whether by tariffs, excises or by direct imposition, and asserts that none of these can be rightfully Imposed for public purposes, and not for-private gain, and reaffirms the historic. Democratic doctrine of a 'tariff for revenue The Declaration for Gold. "It Is then asserted by the convention In its declaration ot principles, that 'the experience of mankind has shown that by reason of their natural qualities, gold is the necessary money of the large affairs of commerce and business, while silver is conveniently adapted to minor transactions, and the most beneficial use of both together can be insured only by the adoption of the former as a standard of monetary measure, and the maintenance of silver at parity with gold by its limited coinage under suitable safeguards of law.

Thus the largest possible enjoyment of both metals Is gained with a value universally accepted throughout the world, which constitutes the only practical bimetallic currency, assuring the most stable standard, and especially the best and safest monev for all who earn their livelihood by labor or the produce of husbandry. They cannot suffer when paid In the best money known to man. but ore the peculiar nnd most defenseless victims of a debased and fluctuating currency which offers continual profits to the money changer, at their cost Realizing these truths, demonstrated by long public inconvenience and loss, the Democratic party, in the interests of the masses and of equal justice to all, practleallv established by the legislation of 183.4 and' 18o3, the gold standard of monetarv measurement, and likewise entirely divorced the government from banking and currcnev Issues. To this long established Democratic policy we adhere and insist upon the maintenance of the gold standard and of the parity therewith of every dollar issued by the government, and are firmly opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and to the compulsory purchase of silver "This language Is but a reiteration of the terse demand of the Democratic platform of 1892. that 'every dollar, coined or Issred by the government, shall have equal power In the market and In the payment of The convention which assembled In Chicago In July of the present year.

In demanding the unlimited coinage of silver dollars on the ratio of 412Vi grains of standard silver to 25 8-10 grains of standard gold, with full legal tender quality for all debts and dues, public and private, offer to the country a scheme from which every voter may expect whatever nd vantage to the country or himself, his reason or even his Imagination can suggest. Inw Can't Give Viilnc. "The advocates of the unlimited coinage of full legal tender silver do not agree as to what will be the consequence of the adoption by the United States of their favorite measure. The more intelligent know that It Is Impossible, by law, to give to silver bullion, or sUver'coin. a local value In the United States; and.

therefore. Mr. Bryan, who must be regarecd. as th official Interpreter of the free silver dogma, asserts his belief that the unlimited colnago of legal tender silver by the United States alone would Increase the vnlue of silver bullion, which Is to-day 67 cents per ounce, to $1.29. and he asserts his belief that under unlimited coinage the silver dollar, containing 412 grains of standard silver, coined by the authority of the United States, would be of equal acceptability and value with the dollar containing 258-10 grains of standard gold In all the markets of the world.

"It Is something that this opinion has no support In the experience of mankind. It Is enough for present purposes to say It has no foundation other than the confident assertions of those who share In that belief. No party In the country ever undertook so much as do the advocates of the unlimited coinage of silver They not only undertake to maintain commercial parity in value of about J434 502.011 silver dollars, already coined by the United States under the authority of the acts of the 28th of February. 1878, and of July 14, 1S90. and of all the sliver dollars that hereafter may bo coined, but they assume the task of advancing the value of the silver coinage of all the nations of the world to an equal acceptability and value with coins of gold.

If the expectations of such of the advocates of free coinage of silver are realized It would be difficult upon their own prer mises to perceive what would be gained by those who expect cheap money. "Accepting their claim that under free coinage the dollar of sliver would become of equal acceptability and value, and equal power In the markets, and In the payment of debts throughout the civilized world, the silver dollar would then be as difficult to procure as the dollar of gold Is now. They complain now that the dollar' of gold 'JSS t0. much purchasing power and is too difficult to obtain. A Depreciated Dollar.

"But the real expectatton of the great body of. supporters of the free coinage of silver.and one much more In harmony with the experience of mankind, is, that tho unlimited coinage of silver would give to the country a depreciated and cheaper dollar, which would enhance nominal values nnd be used In the payment of debts, but would lie attended and followed by the ruin of all Industries, the destruction of public and private credit, and irreparable mischiefs "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: Our K.u rm, us to tho maintenance of the Democratic faith.

LOXDOX TESTS THE AMERICAS' GOLD CURE. Dr. Kcelc)' Care for Drunkenness Is Subjected to Rigid In- vcntlBUtlon. The London Committee Examine Many AVItncmien nnd Gle the Cure Hearty Indorsement. The people ot Kansas City and the great Southwest are very generally acquainted with the excellent work in the line of practical temperance being accomplished by the Keeley Institute, of Kansas City, but comparatively few are aware of the extent to which their work is carried on In other parts of the world.

It Is rclat-ed that when the fame of Dr. Keeley's cure LESLIE E. KEELET, M. LL. D.

for drunkenness and the opium habit had reached London and. numbers of her majesty's subjects, not all of whom were below the nobility In rank, had come to America and given the cure practical tests, returning home models of perfect manhood physically, morally and mentally, as compared with their former condition, certain Britons who had the welfare of their country at heart Induced Dr. Keeley to visit London for the purpose of establishing his cure in that city. Some of the ethics loving members of the Royal Medical Society protested publicly that' Dr. Keeley's methods of work did not conform to the rules of medical ethics because he had not published the formula of his remedy to the world and they cried loud against so disgraceful a procedure as attempting to stop the English inebriate from drinking, restoring him to health of body and mind, and bringing happiness and comfort to his neglected family by any means not In strict accord with the established medical code.

Their attacks proved very good advertisements for Dr. Keeley, as they served to Interest a large number of prominent people, resulted In a series of public meetings, held for the express purpose of Investigating the cure, and obtained It some of the strongest Indorsements the Keeley cure has ever received on either side of the Atlantic A London paper, in giving a history of this Investigation, says: "At a public meeting, held In November, 1S92, at which the Rev. Canon Fleming presided, on motion of William Cunard, seconded by Amos Scofield, Esq. (who later came to Chicago as a delegate from the United Kingdom alliance to the world's temperance congress), the following named committee was appointed to investigate the Keeley cure: The Rev. Canon Fleming, D.

D. (chaplain In ordinary to the queen, chaplain to H. R. the Prince of Wales), chairman; James Edmunds, M. D.

(medical officer of health and public anayllst for St James, consulting physician to the London Tjnperance hospital); James H. Raper, William Saunders, 'M. W. Hind Smith. (president national council of Young Men's Christian Associations).

Mr. Saunders found himself unable to act and Dr. Donald Baynes was appointed In his place. The committee held six, meetings and examined twenty patlontB under treatment at the London Keeley Institute, then It unanimously reported: 'The results of the Keeley treatment, as we have seen It, are good, and offer promise of extended and permanent After Tito Yearn. "One and two years later the committee held their second and third meetings, examining the same twenty patients and reported as follows: "We are deeply Interested in their personal testimony to the fact that they were all cured, nnd that the craving for drink had entirely left them, while their moral will and power to say 'No' had returned.

Letters were submitted to us from the patients who were unable to appear before us or from their relatives, testifying to similar results; and the very satisfactory result Is that we are able to report that eighteen of the twenty cases have stood firm, two only have relapsed, and that all are In good mental and physical health. The stand taken by Dr. Edmunds is especially interesting because of his high standing in the medical profession, the gTeat values placed upon a membership in the Roval Medical Society, and the open opposition of some of the London doctors to Dr. Keeley and his remedies. In an address at one of their meetings.

Dr. Edmunds said: "My excuse for venturing to speak on this subject is that I have been an actlvo worker in temperance for thirty years; that for eighteen and a half jears I have JAMES EDMUNDS, M. F. R. C.

P. worked as senior physician at the London Temperance hospital, and that I have prob-ablv had more cases of Inebriety referred to me personally than any other physician in London. Dr. Keeley, Instead of locking up these unfortunate Inebriates for long periods, cures the drink crave by remedies which act as quinine acts In curing an ague. This is a new line of thought It Is one which has helped me immensely In my work on these cases; while careful wiatching nnd study of Dr.

Keeley's results have convinced ime that he knows more about handling morphia men and alcohol drinkers than all the rest of the physicians put together. I think it my duty to send my owni patients to the Keeley institute when they come to me on this matter, and shall do so In the future, even if they strike my name off the roll of the Royal College of Physicians." The Fourth Annual Report. On February 5, 1S96, the fourth annual meeting of the committee was held at 6 Grenville place, S. Canon Fleming In the chair. The committee feels that the results of the Keeley treatment justify their most sanguine hopes.

They are fully aware that It Is a standing rule In the medical profession that any man who discovers n. remedy for disease Is expected to make It known, and sooner or later this Is the case with everything that Is for the good of humanity. But this decision does not fall within the province of this committee, which was formed in November, 1892, simply to watch the results of the treatment, and to report impartially on them to the public. These results are Intensely Interesting to all engaged in temperance reformation; for when cases remain cured for one, two, or three and four years, they become irrefutable facts. The committee now places the following results of Its annual meeting before unprejudiced minds.

Each case appeared before the committee: A clergyman "I was treated two years ago last October. Feel no Inclination for drink. It Is now no temptation to me. I dine out frequently, where wine Is handed round. I never wish for It; I have A A mmM 1116 Main street.

I am often met by the temptation, but it Is now no temptation to me. The habit of drinking whisky came on me after Influenza. The doctor ordered me whisky, and I had a good deal of trouble, am now quite well and at work again." A public singer "I was treated three years ago last September.

Am on the stage, and have every facility to drink, all my day to myself, but am never tempted to A lady "It is now 254 days since I havo lasted any stimulant. Before that, drink was resistless to me; I feel It was a "disease; no other method I ever tried treated It as a disease.

Now I feel the disease is cured. I am in a. London hotel, and am often tempted by others, but never desire to touch it." A gentleman, formerly in was treated In July, 1893. I had tried everything else with no result. Drink cost me 70,000 in losing a partnership In business.

Am now perfectly well. It is no temptation to me any longer." A barrister, in active practice "Drank since I was 15. I acquired the habit In Paris. I went into business and had 3,000 a year, but drink was ruin to me in my business. I have had Christian parents, but my religion went to the winds before the drink.

I was treated In July, 1895; am now quite well; have no desire for it. I believe this treatment, with the grace ot God, to be the greatest remedy known." A gentleman "I was treated In October. 1893. I drank from the age of 15 to 45 years; had been locked up; had tried every other means: am now- absolutely free from the crave. Have been to Monte Carlo, surrounded by the drink, but felt no inclination for it" A gentleman In business "I was treated In January, 1895; had been drinking for twenty-live years; took alcohol and had often tried to break them off; used to take drink to bed with me whole bottle; I can now go to a dinner party or theater and never touch It; formerly could not pass a public house without a drink, and would borrow money to get It." A gentleman In business "I was treated in July, 1893.

Had drank for years. It had affected my health and memory. I was quite unfit In mind and body to do my business. Am now quite well; all desire for it has gone." A clerk In a bank "I was treated In November, 1894. Had drank for years.

Drink made me walk In my sleep and I had lost my memory. Now never even feel thirsty. Many friends round me drink. I never feel the least Inclination or desire." The committee sat for three hours engaged in seeing those who had been treated. They saw many more who had appeared before them at former annual meetings, but as they only confirmed their former testimony that they continued quite well, their evidence Is not repeated.

There were nearly fifty cases ready to appear before the committee, and letters were received from those who were unavoidably prevented from coming to the annual meeting. These letters have been verified In every case by the committee, and extracts from some of them are appended to this report. It is the intention of the committee to sit each year and to report the results to the public. Tho committee Intend to add to the strength of the committee; some well known gentlemen are ready to join, and they think the time has come to make such benefits of the Keeley treatment widely known. (Signed) JAMES FLEMING.

Chairman, On BehaK of the Committee. So strong an indorsement as this will be noted with great pleasure by the many friends to the Keeley cure in America and cannot fail to be very gratifying to Dr. Keeley himself. He now has Institutes in successful operation In many of the larger European cities as well as In nearly every state In this country. Keeley Core In Kansas City.

Dr. Keeley now has Institutes In successful operation In many of the larger European cities, as well as In nearly every state In this country. The Keeley Institute. Portsmouth building, Kansas City, established some four years ngo to accommodate the great Southwest country, is duly authorized and uses exclusively remedies prepared at the great Keeley laboratory In Dwight. It enjoys the reputation of being one of the finest equipped and best managed of all the great system and that the treatment Is successfully administered there Is attested by living witnesses In every city and hamlet In the West.

This Institute occupies ten large and beautiful rooms. Including reception room, private offices of the business manager and medical director, treatment rooom, laboratory and club reading room for the accommodation of the "class" In attendance. To most visitors It Is a surprise to see In the class so high an order of intelligence as prevails. Among the twenty or thirty "students" usually In attendance are found doctors, lawyers, merchants, bankers, farmers, office men nnd railroad men, as well as women of high attainments and good standing In society. A majority of the lady applicants seek a cure for morphine or other narcotic addictions.

They are not required to visit the treatment room at regular Intervals during each day, as are the men, but receive treatment at their private apartments, and the same favorable results are said to follow the treatment In narcotic cases as in cases of liquor addiction.
