THE PRoDIGAL WIFE,
And the Scene That Followed
Her Return Home.

Her Return no me.
Charlie Martin, a coIored man, whose
place of abode is on Third avenue south.
just off Washington. was married. two
weeks ago. to pretty young mulatto.
When the justice tied the marital knot,
both swore they loved and loved hard.
Saturday night, however, Mrs. Martin
ran away from her Charlie with ''yal-
lah" boy. Charlie was nearly mad with
grief. He poured his tale OF woe into
the ears of Sergeants Klrkham and
Leonard and begged them to find his
MOllie.
II done lub her jes de same, Massa
Kirkham," blubbered Charlie, ian all
| wants is fo' her to come back agin',
datS all fo' suah."
Last night shortly after = o'clock
Sergeant Kirkham caught sight of the
runaway wife. She was skulking alone
in the shadow of Second avenue south
and finally went into the alley in
the rear of the Jumbo, evidently
with the intention of sliding in
to her own house and running
the chances of being forgiven by her
husband. Sergeant Kirkham caught her,
and. after learning she was repentant,
and dat de yallah boy was no GOOD III
comparison with Charlie. he escorted
her 10 the door of her home and raped
for admittance. Her mother-in-law
opened the door, and no sooner did she
see the recreant wife than she threw
her arms about her neck and shrieked
with Joy. Charlie was over in st.
Paul searching for his runaway
spouse but his mother said she was
sure he would forgive her. The scene
that followed the coming home Of the
prodlgal wife was touching, though
ludicrous. The entire colored neighbOr-
hood was summoned to greet her and
when they arrived there was such a
session of weeping and laughing that
Sergeant Kirkham swore afterward he
had never seen its equal out of Meth
odist camp meeting.
They formed i'll ring around Mrs.
Martin and danced, singing the while:
"Massa Kirkham, you's de man, you's

Then the colored women threw them

The father met the reverend upon the
streets of Davenport and horse whipped

SURPRISED THE DEFENSE.
Sensation in the Alleged Poison
ing Trial.

All &AAHSAs
PITTsBURG, Jan. 15.-The attorney
for the defense in the case of Hugh f.
Dempsey, district master workman K.
of L., on trial for completely in
the alleged Homestead poisoning
case, were surprised today by an
unexpected visitor from Baltimore, who
came to lay before them letter which
they think will throw a much different
light on the trial now in progress. Inc
letter shows that at least one witness
for the prosecution, and an important
one. too, was well paid for coming 10
Pittsburg to testify. William @. Kaass,
a wealthy fuel merchant of Baltimore,
is the man who brought the letter on,
and he says that humanity impelled
him to come. The letter in question
received by Mr.. Kaass from DR.. James
Cooper, the Baltimore physician, who
treated Christopher Spaid, an alleged
victim of the poisoning, and who teStI-
fed that Spaid was suffering I'M
dOubtedly from arsenical poisoning,
Dr.. Cooper owed MIR. KaaSS S18.TS for
coal since last April, and the letter says
he was never able to collect the money.
but on Saturday last he received let
ter in a Central hotel envelope and
pos tmarked Pittsburg at s p. M, Jan.
II, which is the day DR.. Cooper gave
his testimony. The letter is as follows:
Central Hotel, Pittsburg, Jan. IL,
1S93.--Messrs. Kaass q Co., Baltimore:
Please send me one ton of coal, think
it is Sunbury No. 2. I will call on my
arrival and settle the other account, as
l have Just drawn fee of $500 from the
Carnegie company. 1 will not return
until Friday morning, when will step
in. Yours faithfully,
JAMES COOPER. 143 Hull Street"
Mr.. Kaass laid this information before
Mr.. Dempsey's attorney tonight. At
torney Porter will lay the matter before
the court in the morning and try to
show that at least one witness for the
prosecution was well paid by the Car
negie company for his testimony. This
will cause a big sensation.

DAMS CONCERTS.
His Third the Best and Most Sue
cessful SO Far.


It can be truthfully said that the
audience at Prof. Frank Danz's third
sacred concert yesterday was both large
and fashionable. Harmonic hall was
completely filled. The programme
was one of the best prepared
bv Prof. DanZ. The audience
it must be admitted, was rather chilly.
1t was warmed to encore pitch only by
the vocal efforts of Miss Laura Carroll
Dennis and the intermeZZo from DelIbe's
'Noila." BenediX's ''VisiOns of Rest"
a beautiful composition for string or
chestra. was also warmly applauded:
The selection from Faust was one OF
the best numbers. The orchestra seemed
to be imbued with splendid singing OF
Gounod's music. The MERRY Wives
of Windsor" overture was a gem. In
fact. every number on the programme
was we'll selected, and was made de-
light to the ear by Prof.. DAM S
orchestra. Miss Laura Carroll
Dennis sang twice, ''Nobll Signor,"
from The Hugueuots," and Schuberts
serenade Both won the audience.
Miss Dennis has plenty OF voice, butt 1t
lacks either cultivation or cultivation
in the right direction. Her lower tones
wonderfully near pure contralto III
quaity-are smooth and pleasing; the
higher are somewhat ragged, "strlngy"
they might be called.
The size and character of the audience
Wree encouraging to Prof. DanZ. lie
PLAYED to more people than he has for
some time at the Sunday concerts.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

That great men who achieve great
hess through public preference are con-
stantly in danger of their lives in these
turbulent Popuhst times was eXempi-
fed in the case of Maj. r. Henderson,
who at one time presided over the po-
lice department. A short time ago he
purchased a lot of dry wood for the
kitchen stove. One morning when
the servant girl was in pet and
declined to get up until breakfast was
ready. Henderson climbed out of bed
and went shiyering into the kitchen,
where he proceeded to light a fire in the
stove. lie piled in the pieces OF wood
and sat down to contemplate his
achievement, when there was a ter
rife explosion. The stove was blown
to pieces. and not only did Henderson
have a narrow escape, but it was almost
a miracle that the house house did not
burn down. Ii was afterwards learned
that the explosion was caused by pow
der which had been poured into an
augar hole in one end of a stick or
wood. The hole had then been stopped
up, and as luck would nave it Maj.
Henderson selected that particular
piece OF wood to put into the stove.

attempt upon the life Of the superin-

Big Cattle e,,.

The Keystone Land & Cattle Com

dard, Of Hot Springs, s. D., is the gem
eral manager, is preparing to retire
from business, having within the past
week contaminated a deal whereby
its vast herd of range cattle, about
5000 head, passes into the hands OF
Humphrey & Stenger, the parties
who have the contract for supplying
beef to the government for its In
dians on the Pine Ridge reservation.
Thisis the last of the once many largs
cattle companies doing business In
this country to retire from the range,
and within a few months the small
cattle men and grangers will have the
range of this county all to themselves.
The amount OF money involved in the
deal isin the neighborhood OF 1926 600.
This is the largest cattle deal ever
made in the Black Hills country.

Relics Of Lundy,s Lane.

1t has just been made public that
while a gang of workmen we're plac.
ing a line fence between the property
of James Lowall, NJ. p, and Mrs.
Cole, in Drummondville, on the
Canadian side, one Of the men, Ernest
Depew, dug up a number Of bones,
and on examination they were found
to be parts of a human skeleton.
Further excavations were made by
William Bowman, and more bones
were unearthed. One complete skele-
ton was found and bones forming
parts OF two others. A number of
buttons were picked up, and they
told that the dead men belonged to
the Royal Scots regiment, and that
they had undoubtedly fallen in the
famous battle Of Lundy's Lane,
which was fought on July 25, 1914. A
year or SO ago, while men were work.
ing in a sand pit, they unexpectedly
ran across several skeletons, and the
uniforms and buttons on them were
SO well preserved that the number of
the regiment to which they belonged
was easily determined. The bones
first found were afterward inferred
with formality and due ceremony.
The Lundy Lane Historical society
took charge of the bones.

states that a conference Of the state
boards of health of Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Manitoba
has been called to meet at Winnipeg,
at some date in the near future. The
object of the conference is to agree on
some plan to more effectually resist
the probable invasion of cholera in
the northwest, should that disease
make it's way to the United States
during the coming summer. Small
pox has also made its appearance in
Manitoba and the hoard of health of
this state will advise vaccination.
This is something that should inter
est all, since most of the young people
of this state have never been vaccin-
ated.

UTILIZING FLAX STRAW.
Process. by which both Seed and FL

Process by Which both Seed and Fiber
May He Turned to Good Account.
The efforts which have been made
from time to time to utilize the fiber
of American grown flax have been
almost entirely directed toward pro-
ducing results which should enter
into competition with the fine linen
fabrics manufactured abroad. All.
such efforts have ended in pronounced
failure; they have only demonstrated
that American flax as at present Gull
tivated does not give under methods
commercially practicable a fiber
which can be spun into fine yarn and
woven into fine goods. There is at
present on exhibitioninN. Y, accord
Ing to today's Commercial Bulletin, re-
suits of a series of experiments which
show that on a less ambitious scale
there are possibilities in handling
American f1axgreater than have hith-
erto been demonstrated.
The flax used in these experiments
is the refuse left after the seed has
been thraslled out. 1t is first cleaned
by passiag through machinery and
then treated to a chemical process
from which it emerges in a condition
akin to cotton as first picked, or to
wool as first pulled, with a staple
more than equal in length to mid
ding American cotton. The manu-.
featuring process from that point is
OF an ordinary character, passing
through the various stages of carding,
spinning and weaving, for which pur-
poses WOODEN machinery has been
used in this instance, instead of usual
linen spinning machines and looms.
Various merits are claimed for this
new method Of treating flax. 1t is
said that the staple obtained takes
fast dyes more readily and at less ex-
pense than cotton; mixes we'll with
both wool and cotton of good grades:
that its carrying" properties are of
such a superior order that the lowest
grades Of shoddy can be worked in
with it in such a way as to produce a
slightly and durable fabric; that 1t
felts admirably for hatters' purposes,
and that, straight, it produces the
best kfndo lint for medical purposes,
and weaves into good, serviceable
towelings, crashes and other coarse
linen fabrics.
To support all these various claims
samples are shown Of delicate DIVES,
fast blacks and other colors of under.
wear and hosiery, blankets and sat-
inets, made from wool and yarn pro-
duced as above, Of union and of pure
linen towels, of felt hats in rough
state, Of lint and of different colorcd
dyed yarns. Whatever may be the
result Of this new venture into the
field Of enterprise it has certainly
reached a stage interesting enough to
deserve the attention Of all connected
with the linen industry, and Of those
who are endeavoring to widen the
opportunities and improve the con-
ditiOn of western farmers.
