AN INTERESTING CASE.

A divorce suit was filed in the district
court few days ago, the details of which
will prove interesting reading and will be
somewhat startling to many
Shortly after the war William B. Lingo
resided happily in Springfield, Mo, with
his family and he became well-known
merchant in that town. In 1871, he de-
serted his wife and children at Springfield
and, as later developments proved, went
to Kansas City, when he shortly after
married Il young lady, Miss Mary Henry,
then in her sixteenth year. They moved
to Kansas and settled on a farm in Park
township, in this county, where they lived
together for 20 years and had eleven
children born to them. A short time
ago Mrs. Lingo No. l, who
is now living in Van Buren,, Arkansas,
learned that her husband was living and
learned of his whereabouts when Mr..
Lingo went to Oklahoma and sought the
Mrs Lingo at that place. He returned
soon after and after lapse of a week or
more. again left for Arkansas, on some
pretext which he assigned Il few days
ago the authorities received a dispatch
asking if Lingo had wife here-that
he was living with Mrs. Lingo
at Van Buren,. Thus the story
come out and Mrs Lingo No. Q was
shocked when the news was brought to
her, as this WAS the first iutimation she
had of her husbands capers. Soon after
she instituted divorce proceedings. Yes
terday Mrs. Lingo received letter from
her husband dated at Charleston, S. c., in
which he confesses that his conduct to-
ward her was not right, but that he would
that day leave American soil and never re-
turn 10 the country. The parties are we'll
known in this county. and Lingo was never
suspected of being anything but astraight,
honest, upright man.

The mother of young Grant, of whose
murder young Belden was found guilty,
writes the editor of the EAGLE letter
from Brookville, Ont, Can, IN which she
earnestly protests that she had never writ
ten any letter of sympathy for Belden, and
in which she states that if one word OF
sympathy from her would save his life it
would never be uttered. She requests the
publication of the letter, but as it can do no
possible good, nor serve any other than a
personal end. we withhold it.

MINISTERIAL MASS MEETING.

The meeting was held In the I. NJ. y. A.
hall last evening pursuant to adjourn
| ment, and after the usual opening exer-
cises the chairman of the meeting arose
and stated the purposes and objects Of the
meetings in the following words:
ave insist with much emphasis that
| notwithstanding whatever representations
may have been made. this movement is
not in the interest of any party or faction.
| The originators had and have in mind
only the enforcement of law. We do not
deny, of course, that some individuals may
have strayed into these meetings and at
tempted to turn them to their interest,
but the simple fact is as l have stated.
Law, according to the Scriptures just
read, is of God, and we are here as Chris
tian people to secure its enforcement.
| Rulers are ministers of God. Our city
officials owe it as their duty to God to per-
form their duty. They are not to be a
| terror to well doors but to evil doers."
The committee which had been APP
pointed to draft questions to PROFOUND to

than at any of the previous meetings but
those who were present manifested great
deal of interest.
Speeches were made by Revs Bicknell
and Love and by Messrs. Wilson, Brown
and Eldridge. Upon a call for Rev.
Marsh, that gentleman arose and spoke
for some time. He spoke upon the object
in view and discussed the best means of
accomplishing the best results. Tie even
ing was taken up with speech making,
principally, and before any definite
actions were taken the meeting adjourned
on account of the lateness of the hour.
Little Hollis Lynn, the only son, the
bright 3-year-old boy of Mr.. and Mrs.
Amos Houck, who was the very sunshine,
Joy and hope of their home, died yesterday
morning and will be buried this evening at
5 o'clock. Dying in the very dawn of life,
it is mete that he be buried at eve.
Pale, relentless Death is ever stealing in,
where and when least expected, with his
touch of cold dissolution and shadow of
despair, meath which the brightest flower
pales to whiteness, and the mother heart
is laid bare to all the agoniZing stress
which burthens the soul with the uncer-
families of the grave as a link to the posi-
BILE beyond But our baby boys will close
their trusting eyes, fold their soft hands.
and the white soul that we thought was
ours is gone beyond the rest of mothers
breast or fathers inclosing arms. And 1t
seems so useless to strain heart or care
into the shadowv vale through which the
spectral path of flight lay for it is night
and only night. Trust waivers midst the
mists and clouds, and the eyes fall short
of reaching the overreaching skies of omi-
science

The Flemings are almost numer-
Gus enough to organize a political
party of their own.
1t would keep the Joneses, the
Browns and the Smiths kicking to
beat the Flemings in getting up re-
union.
1t was a mammoth reunion, WASH, t
it? The Flemings hereabouts have
no cause to the ashamed of anything
in connection with it. 1t was GER
tainly great big success.
Charlie Martin late Deputy
Sheriff, left last Saturday for parts
unknown, leaving unpaid debts, it is
said, to the amount ofnearly SIS, 1000.
Many of his creditors reside in Fair
mont, and we understand some of
them will be able to recover a part
of what is due them. Charlie is a
good fellow, and we are sorry to
know that he has been so unsuccess-
full in business. His family is still
here.
The organization of q develop
ment company here recently. which
company expects to realize millions,
no doubt, reminds us that the origin
ators of the scheme or some of them,
at least are mot in it," Many months
ago steps were taken in the direc.
tion indicated, but the leading
spirits have been scooped, as it we're.
It is to be hoped they may survive
and fare better next time.

The Parent Of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wake
fulness is in nine cases out of ten a
dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion
gives sound sleep, indigestion inter
feres with it, The brain and
stomach sympathize. One Of the
prominent symptoms ola weak state
of the gastric organs is disturbance
of the great nerve entrepot, the
brain. Invigorate the stomach, and
you restore equilibrium to the great
centre. A most reliable medicine
for the purpose is Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters, which is far preferable
to mineral sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may
for a time exert soporific influence
upon the brain, soon cease to act,
and invariably injure the tone Of the
stomach The Bitters, on the con-
trary, restore activity to the opera
tions of that all important organ,
and their benefcent influence is re-
fected in sound sleep and tran
quill state of the nervous system.
A wholesome impetus is likewise
given to the action of the liver and
bowels by its use.
