Sues Wife’s Tardy Affinity. Sapulpa, Ok, June 29.—J. L Nichols, a farmer, came before Judge Dye and asked to make complaint against the man who had allenated his wife’s affections, and with whom she was going to depart, because the man violated his agreement to cone for the woman on the day fixed. Some time ago Mre. Nichols found an affisity and so informed her hus- band. There was an agreement by which she and the other man were to depart together. Mrs. Nichols pack- ed her goods on the day fixed and was ready to go, but the affinity failed to appear. The woman was heart-broken and her husband sought to temper her grief by making complaint against the affinity for breach of promise.

Never- theless he has made a statement which {fs not true in fact. If he did not know the facts, then he ought to have ascertained them before mak- ing his statement, and this he could easily have done by {nquiry. If the remainder of his statement in point of accuracy {s akin to this one, it is entitled to but little credit WANTS TO CREATE IMPRESSION, “The evident purpose of his state- ment is to create the {mpression that the suit brought against the Tobacco Trust was instigated by Colonel Wetmoreand by me, as hisattorney, to force the Tobacco Trust to buy the tobacco factory in which Wet- more wag interested, and that when that object was accomplished we re- fused to furnish the State with testi- mony we had promised to furnish. “Now the fact Is that the tobacco factory referred to, which wos Lig- gett & Meyers Company, of which Wetmore was president, had been sold, including Wetmore’s interest, long before the suit in question was instituted and before the matter was ever mentioned to General Crow. This being true, as {t is true, it fol- lows that the atatement mude by Mr. Hadley {s not true Colonel Wet- more had no financial interest what- ever involved in any way in the suit. “Some two years ago in answer to a criticiam made of me in connection with this suit by a certain St. Louis me, I made a public statement of the facts connected with the proceeding. “J do not deem it necessary now to go into an extended repetition of that statement. Suffice !t to say, firet, that General Crow’s connection with the sult was commendable in every way and in the highest degree, and that my part in it was altogeth- er honorable, and in accord with professional ethics and propriety.” The Remedy That Does. “Dr. King’s New Discovery {s the remedy that does the healing others promise but fail to perform,” says Mrs. E.

To-day, how- ever, the silvered piece of pine wood that has been dipped in sulphur and ignites under friction, {s so common that when we use {¢ we think nothing of{t. Yet that friction match 1s one of the towering wonders of the age, and marks the progress of the cen- turies. Imagine Oliver Cromwell coming {nto your office and seeing you at your telephone talking to a man in Chicago or New York, and by arelay of operators talking half way across the continent. You take the receiver from {ts hook, get Central, give her the name of the party you wantin Omaha, Neb., and it’s but a short time before you are yourself sending the message. We have ueed the tele- phone so much that use has made {t common. Yet the telephone {s one of the towering wonders of thisgreat age. We read with great interest of the story of the embarkation of the Pil- grims in the summer of the year 1620. We watch the Speedwell and the Mayflower as they start on their long journey. Knowing the condi- tions that surrounded them we are surprised that the people on the May- flower had the courage to go alone. We read how these intrepid people, seeking a land of freedom, were toss- edin the trough of the boisterous Atlantic for three months ere they landed at what they immediately called Plymouth {n honor of theland they last saw across the sea. To- day the same voyage {s made in six days’ time. But we think nothing of it. Use has made great vessels like the Lusitania and the Mauritania common. Yet these vessels are among the towering wonders of this When we read of the free schools of Scotland 100, 200 years ago we are apt to think of thoae schools assimi- lar to our own. The study of the surrounding conditions, however, re- veals our mistake.

To-day, our public school system, gathering the children of tender years into the kindergartens, training them through youth, sending them out fn- to life well equipped for life’s battle, {s one of the towering wonders of this great age.

If dispatches from that place are true, Hermann, Mo., was the scene of a killing Saturday morning of so brutish and so horrible a nature that one is reluctant to credit the report Rev. Valentine Strauss, of the Ger- man Evangelical Church, became de- mented and roamed around the country at night with a shotgun in his hands and a rifle strapped to his back. From craigs and trees he fired at men, women and children, and al- though his aim was usually bad, he slightly wounded two or three per- sons. Saturday afternoon Strauss again started out with homicidal in- tent. His wiferan ahead of himshout- {ng a warning to the neighbors, giv- ing all an opportunity to reach cov- er. At the blacksmith shop of Max Kniesche, where the tragedy occur- red, the wife shouted a warning and Kniesche and a dozen armed men who were fn forge with him, ran to- ward the minister, who was again preparing to fire. Several double- barreled shotguns fired their contents {nto his body, and an equal number of rifles blazed out bullets into the mad clergyman’s body. The dying pastor staggered across the roadway and sank under the large oak tree where he had held his first religious services {n the county; and as the light of reason returned to him, and he saw the members of his congregation standing around him armed with gune, the prayer of forgiveness,—‘'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” aecended with his soul from his muti- lated body. His slayers were exhonerated, but are they blameless? The contents of six rifles and six shotguns emptied {nto the body of a madman, by a frightened and excited crowd may be overlooked by the law, but there is a higher power yet to judge the deed. That the manaie was o menace there {ano doubt; but one man, with a small calibre rific and the little grain of courage which {¢ seems was not possessed by the hysterical mob of slayers, could have disabled without killing the madman.
