JAY GDULD'S ROMANCE,
How CrTsus Went A-wooinG when a POOR
Young Man
From the Chicago Tribune.


From the Chicago Tribune
Jay Gould's first sweetheart now keeps
boarding house at Plattsburg, y. Y.
She Is elderly and ray-hared now and is
not strikiugly handsome, but in her day
she was blithesome and pretty. Sue was
the daughter OF a country storekeeper
jay Gould, after leaving his father farm
went to work in the store and promptly
fell in love with the rosy-cheeked maiden
But the old man had much higher views
for his daughter than marriage with
young man in his own shop would realize
He not only gave Young Gould to under
stand that marriage was out of the ques-
ton, but dispensed with his services as
well.
Jay took his rejection philosophcally
enough, and gave himself up to the work
of making a fortune. While he was grow
ing richer and richer and piling up mil
lion upon million, his old love was vainly
trying To battle with misfortune. Her
father, who had plumed himself so proud
ly on the ownership of his general store"
tailed the husband whom she took after
Jay Gould had gone away had brought
little to ner, and so at the end she eudeav-
ors to exc ont an income by opening her
house to summer boarders. She has
wondrouS amount of philosophy in her
makeup. and very little envy She is
bright, goOd-natured and contented with
what fortune has brought--or ought one to
say left-her Some of Jay Gould'S rela-
tives spend few weeks at her farmhouse
every year but Jay himself never goes
there.

Burglars Get Away with Poll Books at
 Little Rock.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. S.-In- tense excitement was created in the city this morning when the announce was made that some time during the night the iron vault in the County Clerks office and the poll books of nine precincts abstracted. The vault was securely locked at o'clock yester- day evening and little while after wards the two deputy clerks went home. The burglars entered the main build ing through back alley which opens out on the town branch cutoff, forcing open frail wooden door which stood between them and the vault. The out side door of the vault, which is thick sheet-iron, was cut into with heavy coal chisel and an iron lever inserted into the opening with which both doors were pryed open, the heavy steel bar slipping back from the catch.
 Of the nine precincts stolen, Bad gett, Big Rock, Campbell, Eastman, Eagle and Fyeatte are Republican, Union is. do btful and Hill and Min eral are heavily Democratic. There is ne clew, as yet, to the burglars. Pub lie sentiment of 10th parties eXoner- ates the officials, who have taken un- usual precaution to preserve the re- turns. No ballots, whatever, were disturbed. As far as can be learned the abstraction of these returns does n 0t affect the general result in the county, in which it is generally con ceded has gone Republican.
