When 16 years old Mrs. Wroughton says her husband was apparently dead, and when the minister was preaching the sermon, Wroughton rose up in the casket and returned to life. Since then he has always feared be- {og buried alive, and extracted she promise of his wife. The wife and Dr. | Wilson, of Texas, religiously obeyed | the promixe. The wife sald she thought he was in a trance, and fully expected him to recover, He was 5+ year- old. He was born in Albany, Ind., bus came here from Texas, | where he owned a large sanitarinin The remains were buried.

Staunton, Va, Nov. 4 —A willease | which has been occupying the various courts here for more than 100 years | was ended in the clreuis court by Mayor W. H. Landis, receiver, enter- final, showing allthe disbursements in the case of Peck va, Borden and Bordon vs. Bordon, More than $100,000 was involved and the various decrees have been entered by almost every lawyer here. The heirs, numbering nearly 400, were from all parts of the country. The final decree approving thesettle ment of the recelver, William H. Landis, involved only about $5,000. One heir represented in the origi. nal sult as an infant died some years ago at the age of 96 years. Nearly every lawyer at the local bar for the last century hus represented some of the heirs. The papers in the case were so voluminous that nobody was familiar with all of them. RED HOG SALE! —ON— THURODAY, VENMBED 14 if... VIRGINIA, MO. . G.W. Park and Son will offeror sale @ head of pe greed Duroc-Jersey s ’ some tried brood gold We are indebted to the Literary | Digest for an interesting extract from fan editorial printed recently by the | London Times, The Times+ xpresses some surprise at the extent to which Amerivans allow themselves to be victimized by dishonest officials and | ; extortionate monopolists. Such a case as this presents “a carious ethi- cal problem,” says the Times, for “the great middle clases in the United States is probably not surpassed in honesty and bueinees integrity by any peoplein the world.” It seems very remarkable to this observer, therefore, that they should so often “leave their public business in the hands of notorious rogues,” and even take a certain pride in the magnitude of corrupt fortunes and “in the ostentation with which {n many in- stances they are displayed.” Amer- {cans are too shrewd not to see that they are being “done,” says this writer, and quotes President Roo#- velt to the effect that they not only know It, but feel it in sheir pockets, and “many of these existing tralte and still more the possible future combinations of unscrupulous mil- lionatres (and politicians) may seri ously affect the comfort and welfare of great masses of the population.” The American perhaps likes to be robbed, it {8 suggested, by men who add to the impressiveness, of the American repubtle abroad by the possession of enormous fortunes. Thus we read: os ‘Every inhabitant of those Amer- fean cities must be perfectly well aware that he pays more than he ought to pay for every one of the ordinary accompaniments of urban elvilization, for roads, for water, fot Nght, for the protection of life and property; and that all these neces- saries, besides belog supplied to him atexorbitant rates, are, as arule, very bad of their kind. Every Amer- {can knows that illicit profits upon municipal management, or illicit en- hancement of the price of commodi- ties of universal necessity, are the origins and foundations of most of the colossal fortunes to which he points with a certain (lezree of pride, though they often constitute in real- ity not only @ nations disgrace, but @ national danger.” The Standard Oi] company made in nineteen years, r flects this writer, as great & sum as. the “troclously exorbitant indemuity cvwanded by Bismarck after the eurrender at Sedan. Bryan is Op’imistic. Omaha, Nov. 4 —\' ilitsm Jennings Bryan in Omaha gave following in- terview on the business and financial conditione: “J do not look for any prolonged trouble in the business world, Con- ditfons are entirely different now from those which made a pantie and depressionin 1893 Then prices were 8 | falling because of a restricted money supply. Now we ars in the midst of tremendous gold production which gives an abundant money supply and malotains prices’ 80 that busl- ness {8 brisk.” “Then you do not think the pres ent bank trouble shows the need of @n emergency or asset currencs ?” “Not by any means Oa the other || hand I think it fs a strong argument againetan aeset currency. Soppose, for instance, we had been using seeet currency during the past year and fn addition to the present trouble the people had distrust about the mon yiley? That wou'd make matters so much the worse. As it is now there 1a no doubt about the quality of our 1] money. ” Sues City For His Defeat.

Flower, who jumped his bail of $23,000 tn New York in the summer of 1904, where he was charged with swindling investors In a mythical mining corporation, has startled this elty by bis boldness in operating a sale of stock in a $900,000 corpora- tion. Investors in this concern have just started an inquiry in which it devel- oped that not even the man whom he made president of the corporation, knew that Dr. Flower, alias Prof O. O Oxford, had been fighting extradi- tion to New York since last January, when the New York police arrested him here. Only his son, who fs the secretary and treasurer of the con- cern, styled the Virginia Clay and Material company, knew that Dr. Flower was the man who had been arreeted. When young Flower was called on for an explanation of where the mon- ey pald for atocks was, he refused to explain and then {¢ developed that great quantities of stock had been sold without keeping any record; that there was no record of the mon- eys received or the-amount of stock sold. Why not tell things tersely, as the Ashbury Enterprice tells this: | ‘‘Mre. Robinson, of Medoe, heard some one} stealing her chickens the othernight She grabbed a shot guo,caughtsight of the thief and fired a double barrel charge of buckshot at him. Of course, she missed the thief and kill- edtwo chichens” * * * The Ozark Breeze also boils them down, as the following shows: “While working on Joho A'len’s house the other day Ben Pearson fell off. When Joho asked it he were hut he sald: ‘Nope, I had to come down after nails, anyway.” Dynamite in a Penitentiary. Rawlins, Wyo, Nov. 4—A convict named A.
