FRANKIE GONE.
Milo Brewster Returns to Red
wood and His Wife Quiet
ly Disappears.
a Travelling Mans Wink Caught
Her and Cost her a
Husband.

Milo Brewster came home from the
woods last Saturday evening. As
soon as he stepped off the train his
smiling countenance disappeared and
was replaced by a cloud. His wife
was missing.
Redwood Falls people,; particularly
the large class of Redwood Falls peo-
pie who have visited at Hotel Fran
co.'s during the last six months, or
percbahce have been on the streets
about the time the St. Louis mail
from the east was due, will quickly re-
call very striking and rather hand
some young woman seen around the
hotel or making the trip to and from
the postoffice. A three-year old child
was generally prattling away at the
mothers side. The woman was Mrs.
frankie Brewster, alleged wife of
Milo Brewster, whom the latter ex-
pected to meet at the depot last Sat
urday evening, but who did not hap
pen around. Milo walked up and
down the Northwestern platform long
after the train pulled out for Sleepy
Eye, and long after he had been in
formed by the clerk at the hotel that
his wife was missing apparently
gone with handsomer man. 1t was
after dark before he left the platform,
and went, no one knows just where.
Since Milo's departure for the woods
last fall Mrs. Brewster has been en-
ployed at the Hotel Francois in capac-
ity of dining room girl and chamber
maid, having her little child with her.
She was quite dashing young woman
all the time she remained, and some
of the b|oods took great delight in
catering to her caprices. An oc-
caslonal wink from travelling man Of
just the right kind was also met with
another wink and as a result frankie
Brewster was occasionally seen in the
company of one of those smiling rep
resentatiyes of foreign houses. Car
riage rides and walks were .indulged
in frequently frankie became par
ticularly enamoured with one of this
fraternity, representative of the
American Biscuit & Manufacturing
Co., of St. Paul.
A week ago last Sunday the gay
representative fell in with frankie
shortly after the dinner hour and re-
NAMED with her late in the day, TAX
ing her on a carriage ride, and ab-
sorbing great deal of time in the ho-
tel parlors. 1t is alleged that the
couple got rather gay and Mrs. Fran
co.'s dropped on TO their racket and as
result that evening Mrs. Brewster
ceased working for Hotel Francois
On Monday, after borrowing enough
money to make the trip she left fol
st. Paul, and has been seen there once
or twice since that time.
1t is alleged by some of her friends
that she proposes to commence action
for divorce from her husband on the
ground ofnon-support. But knowing
ones say that there is no need for such
an action-that she has no right to the
name of Brewster because the mar.
riage was not legal one. This, she
admitted to some of her female friends
about the hotel. Her right name il

Brewster up in some Wisconsin town

la. LEWIS SHOT.
Frank Gray Accidentally Shoots
Him While DuCk.Hunting In
Three Lakes.

ry Marks of the
Shooting.

O" LOWS, O 1olm0T T0Slulu3 III
Three Lakes township, was accident
ally shot by Frank Gray, residing on
farm in the same township, shortly
before dark last Saturday evening. AS
a result of the accident Lewis will lose
the total use of one eye, and his face
will bear marks of the accident dur
ing the remainder of his career on
earth.
The story of the shooting. as cleaned
by a GAZETTE reporter has it that Lew
is had lett his farm early in the after
noon, and commenced shooting ducks
around the Lakes. He had bagged
several and was hiding in some reeds
in pass between two lakes waiting
for another flock to fly over. Just be-
fore dark Gray left his farm and went
down to the lakes and commenced
shooting ducks. He, too, had shot
several birds. Another flock was pass
ing over him, almost on level with
his head. He arose and fired his gun
into the flock. The shots missed their
mark, crossed the lake and struck
Lewis in the side of the face, tearing
the flesh badly and blowing the eye
ball from it's socket.
At the time of the shooting GRAY
did not know where the shot from his
gun landed. Lewis fell forward on
his face in the water and the splash
ing attracted young Gray's attention.
1t was quite dark and he supposed
that the splash was caused by dead
ducks falling in the water. On ex-
animation, however, he found to his
horrible surprise what seemed to be
the body of a man whom he soon
identified as Andrew Lewis.
He dragged Lewis out of the water
and then rushing to the Gray home
informed his father, Orlando Gray, OF
the accident.
Lewis was quickly taken to his
home by the Grays.
DR.. Gibson was Immediately sum-
moned and left at once for Lewis
house, arriving there shortly after
eleven o'clock. The doctor, after max
ing careful examination, concluded
that the case was not fatal one, but
had the charge entered the head an
inch higher or an inch lower Lewis
would have been killed instantly. He
stated that the one eye was total
loss. The wound was dressed and be-
fore the doctor came to town at four
O'Clock in the morning the patient was
resting easy. Sunday afternoon he
was improving and on Monday his
condition was SO much improved that
DIR. Gibson considered him almost out
of danger.
Young Gray was greatly affected by
the accident. Lewis was his warm
friend and investigation shows that the
two men were on the best of terms
and that there would be no motive for
the shooting and that it must have
been accidental. Gray was terribly
affected as a result of the accident
and did all in his power'to relieve the
sufferings of the victim.

Too Much of a Good Thing.

It is not often that a traveller objects to big, juicy nicely-browned turkey being placed before him when he takes his seat at a hotel, nor does he often object to a small portion of the aforesaid bird; but there were several people at the Kimball yesterday who are inclined to raise @ howl-mild and gently, of course-when they see turkey on the e-bill of fare.
 It's pretty tough on them,'' said Mir F. B. Jack, who was telling of their an- tipathy to the Thanksgiving bird, ''but it's only natural that they should draw the line that way. I mean, of course the leading members of the Shore Acres company. Say turkey to any one of them

flowers and placed the spray of tender green, blossoming and budding, in the hand of the angel that, with "raiment white as snow, declareth the resurrec- ton of Christ"
 1t Is doubtful if there be any record in the New Testament of Christ's ever hay ing made public reference to any other flower save the lily, and this makes the blossom peculiarly fit to be the emblem of the Eastertide.
 Where the Lilies Come From.
 Our Easter flower is an alien, coming from Bermuda, Holland and Japan. Ninety per cent comes from Bermuda, the extra freight preventing the other coun- tries from competing with the island, and for another important reason, that the Bermuda lily Is more beautiful and is easier to bring into bloom at Easter. The bulbs to the number of 5000, 900 are annu- ally imported in July or August. The lily growers separate the bulb into parts and plant each part. The new bulbs are not exported the first year, but are the sec ond. 1t takes four years to produce the great bulbs inches in diameter, from which spring the tall stalk, crowned with many blossoms.
 The grower has boards with four holes of different sizes. and the bulbs are sorted by passing them through these holes. One sees In Bermuda lily fields

DISAPPOINTMENT,

The husbandman of human hearts am I; Older than all the tillers of the soil I've seen the hopes of prQudest men recoil And expectation pale as passed by. All lands are mine: of people low and high gather tribute: of his daily toll; Not one refuses when take the spoil, Though breaking hearts are vainly wonder
 ing why. Yet. when I've plowed about the roots of
 pride, Blow with my cold winds till weak faith
 was strong, Drenched till the heart was moistened
 through and through, And all it's powers of fruitfuiness were tried The hearts of men from signing turned to
 song, For life gained meaning that they never
 knew.

Across the gloom the gray moth speeds To taste the midnight brew; The drowsy lilies till their beads On rosaries of dew.

Ere long the dawn will come to break Tho web of darkness through Let not my heart unanswered ache That beats alone for you.

Some Lily Creations.

and they are inclined to fight. You see,
 Shore Acres is nothing if not realistic and at every performance the major portion of a good-sized turkey has to be deyoured by them. It looks tempting enough from the audience, but when @ person has, as matter of duty, to tackle turkey once every day, and often twice, I can see how they would be inclined to object. So long as they come to city like Atlanta they have ample opportuni- ties for a change of diet, but in the smaller places the landlords first idea in getting up a good, tempting dinner for his guests is to make a turkey the cen tral figure. They have been told of the good dinners at this house. and their an- ticipations are pitched high. Then the turkey comes tableau!-Atlanta Constitution

oration, and will last almost as long as the potted plants. They are shipped in the bud, each one wrapped carefully In cotton. Just before they are wanted for use they are set in water, when they un- fold and become perfect flowers, only little inferior in size to those grown at much greater expense in the greenhouses around the great cities.
 Fifteen million blossoms will be in use all over the land today. In the churches the altars will be banked with the cut flowers, woven into garlands, wreaths and crosses the chancel will be screened from sight by the tall potted plants some rich with a dozen buds and perfect flow CTS. In the Sunday chools and the mis- sions the children will be taught the beautiful resurrection story. typified by the dark brown bulb buried deep in the earth, arising in the sunshine and warmth to blossom in white and gold.
 In the homes all through the land the flowers will decorate alike the palace of the rich and glorify the hovel of the poor, telling it's beautiful story as the holly and the mistletoe bring the message of peace and good will at the Christmastide.
 The Easter Gift.
 The gift of gifts for friends or loved ones is the tall green plant with it's crown of white and gold, in the beautiful vase of wonderful pottery.
 Thousands of these messengers are sent every Easter morning, besides great punches of the cut flowers which the maiden will pin on her breast, or place between the lids of her prayer book, as she hurries away to the -decked church.
 The Lily Girl.
 A beautiful thought has come to some Of the maidens who have been keeping Lent and wearing sombre cloth and col ors. They are having the fronts of their Easter gowns filled in with vioets, valley lilies, sprays of lilacs or whatever flower best suits their fancy, and with their biossom-wreathed bonnets and the great nosegays they will carry they will be veritable Easter flowers themselves, the falrest and sweetest of any land or cline.
 The faring skirts of the present mode offer abundant opportunity for the de- signing of Easter gowns adapted to the form of the lily. The wide sleeves the tiny bonnets, and even the prevailing style Of wearing the hair all possess the same delicate curves of the great Easter flower.

 Easter Sunday Is the fit day of all the year in which to consider the lilies" All flowers in some oriental languages are classed under the term lilium, name of ancient and uncertain origin. The bot anist has classified fifty species of the lily family, all confined to the northern hem isphere. In thinking or speaking of lilies we always mean the snowy, bell-like flower, with it's breast of gold; but there are red, purple and blue lilies. Japanese lilies, with their splendid wealth of color ing, white, dotted with purple and striped with gold; white and rose-colored, and the familiar Chinese tiger lily, with it's bronze-1ecked petals.
 The lily of the Old Testament is con- jectured to have been red in coloring, and the red anemone, with which all the fields of Gallilee are dotted. is likely to have suggested the figure, perfect in it's sub- limity, which Christ used in glorifying the lilies of the field.
 But the glistening white lily was one of the commonest garden flowers of an- ttquity, appearing with the rose and the poet who sings:
 Take lily in thy hand;
 Gates of brass cannot withstand
 One touch of that magic wand.
 As the flower of spotless purity it was always contrasted with the blood-red rose of Aphrodite. In the middle ages the lily was taken as the symbol of heavenly purity, and the painters have crowned their Madonnas with the golden-hearted

Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 29.-ThiS was a
day of debate in the senate; there was
also considerable talk in the house.
Senator Penrose, the leader of the
friends of Senator Quay, won a deci-
sive victory over the PorterMartin
combine by overwhelmingly defeating
Senator Porter's pet scheme reducing
the number of the councilmen in Phila-
delphia, the vote being 20 to against
Its final passage.
Senator Porter tried to have the bill
recommitted to committee but Pen
rose insisted upon immediate action
and was sustained by the solid Quay
forces. In the house the committee on
rules scored point in providing more
hours OF work. The Democrats will
hold caucus tomorrow and an effort
will be made to form a combination
with the Martin-Porter people to fight
Quay and his friends. The Democrats
are anxious to defeat the bill being
urged by the state administration to
reorga nize the state banking depart
ment and increase the salary of one
superintendent $4,000 to $4,000. They
are in a hopeless minority, though, in
both branches, and even If they were
to combine with Quay's opponents, this
could not rally enough votes to defeat

Oakland, Cal, Jan. 29.-Chief Arthur,
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, arrived this evening. He is hav-
ing vote polled on the Southern Pa
cific, along the entire system, on the
question of ordering a general strike
If the Southern Pacific company will
not recede from the schedule pre-
sented the first of the year. Such a
strike cannot be ordered unless two
thirds of the entire membership con-
sent. The result of general strike Of
the engineers depends entirely on the
attitude of the men who lost their
strike last July.
Y. j. Roberts. of the local union, said
tonight that nothing would be done to
interfere with the success of the strike
now at stake, and if another fight came
on all would unite to make it sue

power of corporations. The American
Railway Union will furnish no men, he
said, and is of the opinion that Debs

attempted. The fact that 149 branches
of the order have been organized since
last August shows it has strong inward

PHILADELPHIA REFORM.
The Municipal League viii Petition TO
the Legislature in the Interest of the
Organization of q LcxoW Committee.

By the United Press.
Philadelphia, Jan. eff the NUM-
cipal league, a non-partisan organiza-
tion, whose object is reform in NUM-
cipal politics, has its wishes acceded
to by the legislature, Philadelphia poll
tics will have a stirring up similar to
that carried on by LeXow couAnittee in
New York city. A petition will be pre-
Sented in the legislature tomorrow
from the league asking for the appoint
ment of committee to investigate the
municipal government of Philadelphia.
The petition recltes that it is almost
daily reported in the newspapers that
corporate influence is being exercised
in city councils to the detriment of
Philadelphia.
The petition also refers to Senator
Quay's arraignment of David Martin,
the Republican leader of Philadelphia,
in the United States senate and states
that Mr.. Quay's accusation that Mr..
Martin broke ''plighted faith" was in
reference to the latter's promise to
nominate a certain candidate for mayor
of Philadelphia. The petition says that
such promise If given was in viola
'tion of the law. The league therefore
asks that a committee be appointed
with full power to examine books and
subpoena witnesses and that the league
be allowed to be represented by counsel.
