The remain of Paney Ballard, who took
her own life In the St. Theresa pro-catho-firal
Saturday morning, were taken to Wll
ber this morning bv the dead girl's father,
E. E. Ballard, who arrived from Iodge
City. Kan., last night. The father was of
the opinion that hie daughter had killed
herself not because of the fact that she had
been hypnotised, but because she was the
victim of an inherent suicidal Impulse.
Her mother is an invalid and a subject of
epilepsy, and even now does not compre
hend that her daughter Is dead. The story
that the girl was worried whether she
should attend the State university, as her
father wished, or the convent here, as she
desired, her father believed was of no
moment.
"Pansy waa free to pursue her 'own
course in that matter," be said. "I told
her when she got ready te ge away from
home ta school that she waa IS yeara old
and waa at liberty to go where she pleased
to school, but Inasmuch as she waa fitting
herself for a pedal work. It would prob
ably be better for her to attend tbe State
university. Tba priest at Wllber told her
tbe same thing. I do not belong te tbe
aame. church, but I bad no objection te her
going to any school she desired to attend,
and in fact I sent both ber and bar sister
to the Catholic school in Bt. Joseph.
"I do not think that there is anything
material ta the theory that hypnotism bad
anything to do with It. It ia true that she
waa once hypnotised by a traveling hypno
tist, but that waa ata yeara ago, and I
have never noticed any effect from It since
the time of Its occurrence. We all attended
the entertainment. Mid tbe lecturer an
nounced bla Intention of operating upon the
audience. When we got up to go were
surprised to find Pansy In a stupor. We
tried to rouse ber, but could not. Even
tba lecturer waa unable to do so, except
that wben be shook ber shs pltohed bits
him and pushed him up Into a corner and
would bars pushed him over a table, al
tbougb be waa a big man. but she was
prevented.
We took her home and shs remained
apparently la a sort of stupor until 1 o'clock
the next morning. I sat -up with ber until
aba fell aaleep, and wben she awoke she
knew nothing of what bad taken place.
Wben wa told ber ahe did not believe H.
and I think that until ahe died she never
believed that she bad been hypnotised."

the past month to have the county com
missioners rebuild the bridge, but have al
ways been unsuccessful, the commissioners
contending that the land between the two
rhers Is swampy and thai there 1 not over

the county to expend money for a new
bridge, which will cost tl&.OOO, for so small
a territory. But the bridge will now be
built and the people are Jubilant, as they
will be able to market tbe comtng crop,
which they could pot do without a bridge.

FOP.T RILET. Ken., Oct. II -Today's
srork In the maneuver camp might with
moderation be termed highly strenuous.
None but vregular troops were out, and even
for seasoned men they went through an
ordeal calculated to teat the enduring quali
ties in every one. There were two exer
cise, similar In character, and In one of
these, where Lieutenant Colonel Kingsbury
commanded the Brown cavalry, from the
time of leaving camp until the return his
trooper rode from thirty to thirty-five
miles. Much of thl march was over broken
grotrtid and up and down steep hillsides,
where the men at times had considerable
difficulty In retaining their seats. The ma
jority of the infantry engaged tramped
from fifteen to eighteen miles In heavy
marching order.
None of the National Guard regiments
were in the day's maneuver. They will
not be taken Into the actual work of the
maneuvers for two or three -day. To
morrow they will be drilled along the
Pawnee flats and marched up and down the
eteep hills a few times to get them Into
good form. After this preliminary course
they will go to work la the manner of the
regular troop.
Today' exercise, which occupied the
troops from C:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m were
similar. One wa held over the hill south
of the Republican river and the other was
in the distant north, too fur for anybody
hut a trained pedestrian to walk.
Problem ta Be Solved.
The problem in effect were that a Blue
force should march out Into the country
of their old-time foes, the Brown, have a
email brush with them, and then fall hack
to the camp. It was the understanding that
the Brown force, which in each Instance
consisted entirely of cavalry, wa to follow
up the retreating army very closely and
harass them as much as possible. A de
scription of one exercise stand for a de
scription of the other, save fur the minor
movements made necessary by tbe different
topographical features.
The forces operating south of the rlverj
were commanded oy colonel uancan or the
Sixth infantry and Lieutenant Colonel
Kingsbury of tbe Eighth cavalry, the
former commanding the Blues, or Invading
army, and tba latter the Browns, or re
treating army. Colonel Kingsbury, with
nine troops of cavalry, led the force which
was to harass the rear guard, and most
efficiently did It perform Its work.
It waa four hours after the start before
the force came In contact. The advance
guard of Colonel Duncan's army, consisting
of a battalion of tbe Sixth infantry', struck
the Brown cavalry about six mile from
camp, and the fight Immediately became
hot. I
Sample- af Wars rtgrhtlag.
Both sides reinforced rapidly and the
affair grew in Intensity to such a degree
that Colonel MoClemand, who was chief
of staff of the invading army In Cuba, and
knows what real fighting la, remarked: 'If
this was the real thing tt would be about
aa good aa thla number of men could make
it and would be hot enough to suit the
most fastidioua" '
Colonel Duncan stead fry pressed hie way
forward until 1 o'clock and then after an
hour'a rest he started on the return march.
This waa the importunity for Lieutenant
Colonel Kingsbury's cavalry, and It was
remarkable to see bow so small a body
of men could appear In so many places
In so short a space of time. They bung on
the rear of the columns, where Captain W.
D. Jones, of the Sixth infantry, command
ing the last battalion of tbe rear guard,
handled hla men with great skill and finally
repulsed ths cavalry. They came riding
out of ravines tn unexpected fashion,
persistently endeavoring to cut between
the portions of the column, and, all things
considered, they harassed the retreating
forces as far as it could be done without
driving It Into confusion.
The head of Colonel Duncan's column
made Its way swiftly jout of danger, but
the last of It had trouble in plenty. At
one time Lieutenant Colonel Ktnfsbury
got his trooji scross tbe line of retreat,
but he was unable to, stand against the
heavy Infantry force and withdrew.
CavsOrs- tease Coed "eVarau
When news of this peril to his rear
guard was brouarht to Colonel Duncan be
at once turned back tbe advance to the
rescue, but the rear had made good Its
retreat and soon Joined him. Their losses
had been heavy, particularly at the close
of the day wben the cavalry pushed home
its attack in gallant style. The fighting
at this point, though brief, was the
heaviest of the day and when It was over
all the Brown cavalry that pressed upon
the rear of the Blue column was ruled out
of the game and the infantry continued '
its march. It was not expected that the
cavalry would be able to Interrupt ths In
fantry. Its sole object was to worry It I
and this mission waa amply fulfilled.
There was little of the spectacular In
the day's fighting. The artillery, which
makes the biggest showing as well aa tbe
greatest floim. had little to do save run
around the bills.
The advancing and retreating Blue army
on the north was commanded by Colonel
Kline, of the Twenty-first Infantry and
the attacking Brown cavalry by Colonel
Steever. of the adjutant general's office.

is the meeting. Mrs. Fairbanks, with Mrs.
J. H. Crosman of New Tork. vice nresident-
general from that state, 'has come west to
attend the conference of Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas and Missouri, upon special Invita
tion, and speak enthusiastically of the re
ception they have received and the work
that Is being done. Regarding the western
chapera Mr. Fairbanks said Monday:
"The western women lament that they
have so few historical site to mark a the
chapter of the east are doing, but this
sort of work is not necessary to keep alive
their interest a I have found them full
of patriotism and love or liberty. Tbe
first thing that I would stimulate among
the women Just now ia an interest In Hie
erection of our Memorial Continental hall
at Washington, D. C. It 1 to serve tws
great purpose In our urbanization, first
aa a splendid permanent memorial to the
men and women of the revolution and
second a an administrative hall for our
work at the national capital. Such an
administrative building is really more
necessary than i generally understood.
The hoard of management which la com
posed of the nine national officers, the
rtce-presldents-generala and the state
regent, meet the first "week or every
month, excepting tbe three summer months,
in Washington for the conduct of the
society business, the president -general
being chairman, and each year the
continental congress Is "held there which
makes such a budding almost a necessity.
"Don't forget" said Mr. Fairbanks, "that
our first wnrk 1 the stimulating of love
of liberty and the defuslon of knowledge
of the American history and Institution
among all who are or are to become
American cltixena."

The General Federation of Women's
cluba la now composed of thirty-nine i
tale federations, eight foreign clubs and
771 American cluba. It has seven active
officers snd a board of director, Tba J
Ariaona federation la the smallest of the
group of state organisations. It has j
eight clubs, with a total membership of
ZX. Ths Ohls federation baa the largest
number of clubs, counting 14, and New
Tork the largest membership of Individ
ual club women, X2.H0. The Illinois fed- i
eratlon has 2S clubs, with a membership
of JS.OUO; Irrwa StO, with a membership of
U.lKKi; Minnesota, 113. with a membership
of 7,560; Massachusetts, 78a, with a mem
bership of 3.0110. Thus, while Illinois re
ports sixty-one more than Massachusetts, '
her number of Individual club women Is
exactly the-aame, aud while Iowa reports
seventy-five more clubs than either Mas
sachusetts or Illinois, the membership Is
about one-half. In many of the states
are numerous small clubs, some of them
having a membership of not more than
twelve women. Massachusetts lias al
wrye -been recognized as a club center,
and the average membership tn ber fed
erated cluba m a fraction less than 123.
Tbe average roemtiership in New Tork
I about liZ. The Denver Woman a club
is one of the largest in the country, num
bering almost 1.000 members. The Dis
trict of Columbia, wtth its limited terri
tory', reports twelve flourishing dub wi'.h
a membership of over 7.0ti0.
The state federations, while subject to
general federation laws, have no sate
law in common, each state federation
forming Its own constitution and by-law.
As a result of this, organizations and so
cieties are accepted in some state federa
tions which would not be admitted to
others, and which are not eligible to di
rect membership in the general federa
tion, but nearly all the state federations
lay stress on the literary requirement of
the general federation. Through lta con
stituency of state federation, tbe general
federation now counts 110,000 women tn
membership.
The fortnightly meeting or ths Woman's
club opened st 2 JO instead of t o'clock, in
compliance with ths recent decision of the
organisation, and after a brief business
seseloc th time was given over te report
of tbe stats federation meeting beld re

riTTSBVRG. Oct. in -By the. breaking of
the roiH' i.aro'iiig five beams to tnelr J osl
tior,. letting the tons of Iron fall cn the
movable crsne nt the Pittsburg end of the
Wabash bridge, being buHt by the American
lirhlge company, over the Monungahvla
river, almost a doseu workmen were hurled
to dt-nth by a fall of more than li feet,
striking the water and two barge beneath.
EiRht of the fluad hnve been recovered.
Five are seriously Injured. Several bodies
are yet pinned under the wrecked barga.
The part of the bridge extending out over
the ri-er from the Water street side la a
total wreck. The casualties follow:
The dead:
W. J. M'CXOt'D.
GEORGE WELLS.
G. W. KEITLIKGER.
WILLIAM KEMPT.
WILLIAM C. TAFT.
FRANK DALBT.

William Jay, Beaver Fall.
A. M. Fowler, Pterson, N. J.
Earl Crider. Allegheny, hurt about tba
head.
Ce. rawer lavestlsrate.
Deputy Coroner L. C. Huchel made an In
vestigation at the scene of the disaster. Ha
believes the blame rests on whoever wsa ta
charge of the hoisting and fastening of tba
"I" bee ma. He says that a failure to prop
erly secure one derrick load caused the
breaking strain ta fall on the crane.
"Just before this happened," said Mr.
Huchel, "the men had hauled -jp a lead of
five "I" bars. They were Used In position
by a long steel bar, w hich waa pushed
through the eyes at the end. Then fiva
more liars Were Sauted , trp tn tbe Bam
point, and this fastening bar waa draws
J back with the intention of shoving K
through the eyes of tbe five additional bars.
In some way a blunder was mad and the
bar was not put through. Aa a result tba
bars suddenly fell, tbe resulting 4erk pulling
down the crane."
The accident was caused by the giving
way of a two-Inch steel cable, which was
used ns one af the guya te support the big
crane. Thia cable waa tested ta bear , a
strain of 100 tons, and It Is said that It did
not break, but pulled loose from Its fasten
ing. There were thirty-four men at work on
tbe stiperstrurttire of tbe bridge nad m the
barge below, from which the beams were
being hoisted by the crane. 17S feet above
the river level, when the booms onllspsed.
Of the men waho were in tbe barge some
escaped by Jumping Into the river the
moment they heard tbe crash above. Some
of the men on the ouperstructrrre who were
engaged In riveting and handling tbe bars
thst were lifted from the tmrgs also got off
uninjured.
Cesisssy't Omcer Talks.
i .
It was rumored that the accident was
due to an experiment In the construction
of the bridge In order to save 'time. The
rumor had It that this waa tbe first bridge
ever built without undurplnnlng and that
the company did not use any underpinning
because It was thought thst much time
would be saved. J. A. Huston, general
superintendent of tbe Pittsburg district af
the American Bridge company, said:
Such a rumor I alisurd and wltheut any
toundatlon in tacb It is the universal rule
to buiitl caiiUlver bridgutt, such as this
one, in the mf.mwr In whluh the bridge is
being built. No undorplr nine or false work
under the Irrictge la required or used. We
have built hundreds of bridges In thla man
ner In which this hriugr Is biug con
structed It would lie an experiment ta
build them any other way, but ttis system
of overhead support alone is the adupied
and approved plan.
The work on the bridge wlQ be delayed
about three monftie.
Several remarkable escapes from death
were reported One of the workers on the
traveler a soon us the guy wires snapped
attempted to Jump back to the part remain
ing on the bridge. He missed his footing
tnd was falling to the river when part of a
rope attached to tbe bridge struck him ea
the faoe. He Instinctively caught bold of
it and was saved from being carried dowa
into the barge. He continued te bold ta
the rope until one of the skiffs came te bis
rescue, when be slid down and took bis
place In the boat as one of the reacuers.
Thousand visited the scene of ths disas
ter during the day. It will take some time
to clear away the wreckage an recover
tbe mlaalng bodies. -
