A Curious Case That Is Now ON Trial at
Lemars, Ia.
A breach of promise case against a
dead man is a peculiar affair. but such is
the case of Hubner versus Reikhof, now
on trial before Judge Frank r. Gaynor
in the district court of LIE Mars, Ia.
Mrs Amanda j. Hubner, aged SO,
good looking and fairly educated, was
the housekeeper of William Reikhoff for
about two years shortly before his death,
which occurred in Lemars Sept. s, 1894.
He purchased fine residence in Le-
mars, furnished it richly, and installed
Mrs. Hubner as housekeeper. She served
in that capacity for several months and
then went home to Grinnell, and Mr..
Reikhoff's daughter attended to the
household.
After the death of Mr.. Reikhoff his
last will showed he had not provided
for Mrs. Hubner and she began a suit
for $4,000 against the estate on the
ground of breach of promise of mar
riage.
The deceased was scholar of rare at
tainments and very eccentric He devot-
ed himself to books, and declared that
he had no time to read newspapers. One
of the wills that was produced in court
was a literary gem. Several months be-
fore his death be had a coffin construct
ed of two inch oak and lined with cop
per. In it he was buried at bis old home
in Toledo, Ia. He had travelled much in
his later years and was writer upon
political and economic questions. He
was greatly beloved by his children and
by friends who penetrated his reserve
and eccentricity.- Tribune.

A Royal Romance.

That romance is not entirely wanting
even in royal marriages is shown by the
pretty story which precedes the engage
ment of the king of Portugal Prince
Carlos, who was known at that time as
the Duke of Braganza, was on the way
to Venice to celebrate his betrothal to
the Archduchess Marie Valerie, daughter
of the Austrian emperor, when, upon his
arrival in Paris, he received news that
her imperial highness had changed her
mind. The prince was unwilling to re-
turn without a bride, and sought the
advice Of the Marquise de la Ferronay,
an old friend of the family. Her lady
ship showed him the picture of a young
girl, who, she said, was rich, talented
and equal in rank. 81 will have her,
whoever she may be, exclaimed Carlos.
"Where can she be seen?' According
to this mornings paper, " replied the
marquise, "her royal highness, the Prin-
cess Amelie of Orleans, arrived yester-
day in Nice. - Three days later the duke
and princess met for the first time, and
shortly afterward their betrothal was
announced.

led to worry ing, fretting aud despond-

mnsphere and make things bright and
cheerful again
1t is the only spring remedy uni
versally prescribed by physicians. 1t
makes people well by giving them a
hearty appetite and relish for their
food. Hard-worked men and women,
the nervous, weak and debilitated, get
new strength, fresh nerve energy and
a purer. more vigorous blood supply
from Paine's celery compound.
This most valuable nerve and brain
invigorator and restorer practically
demonstrates the lifelong conviction of
its eminent discoverer, Professor
Phelps, M. D., LII D, of Dartmouth
College. Professor Phelps was for
long time convinced that sound nutri-
tion was the keystone of firm health,
and that where there were signs of
poorly nourished nerve tissues, and of
thin, pale colored blood, some means
must be devised to supply these defici-
encies briskly aud rapidly. Professor
Phelps prepared Paine's celery COM
pound ON this basis. 1t has proved an
invigorator. strengthener and a great
spring purifier, such as the world has
never enjoyed before our day.
Tomorrow, or next day, or the day
after is not soon enough to look about
getting rid of weakness or disease.
Take Paine's celery compound today.
There is no time equal to these early
spring days for throwing off poor
health. There are few persons who do
not need to take a spring remedy.
Many not downright sick, but tired
or ail,ng. would be immensely bene-
flied by taking Paine's celery COM
pound, especially at this particularly
favorable season of the year.
This great compound will Danish
that tired feeling, cleanse the blood and
regulate the nerves.

fast train going at the rate of 80 miles
an hour, he being unable to either get
off the train or into the car. Bishop
Esher had been going the rounds of the
churches in his diocese. his last stop be-
ing at Reddick, Ills, small town on
the st. Louis division of the Wabash
railroad. He preached to large congre-
CATION there. He lives in Chicago.
The limited train came through Red
dick at O'Clock in the morning and
stopped at water tank for few min
utes, SO the bishop, accompanied by Rev.
Jacob Schwartz, pastor Of the Reddick
church, drove to the tank and waited.
When the train came along, the vener-
able bishop mounted the steps of the last
sleeper just as the cars began to move.
But being incumbered by heavy satchel
he could not knock on the vestibule cur
tain SO as to attract the attention of the
porter.
Faster and faster the train moved,
and the bishop, his flesh cut by the
keen sleet driven by strong wind, and
thoroughly drenched by heavy rain,
clung to the railing of the platform for
Q0dr llI6. CGdGlUu alt6T StdblOu u6W Uy,
and the train showed no disposition to
stop, although the aged prelate prayed
that it might. But it was the limited,
and would not pause until it reached
Englewood, 40 miles from Reddick.
Almost dead from cold, the bishop hung
on although his senses were nearly
gone, and several times he thought he
would surely lose his grip, but he didn't,
and just as the train was drawing up to
the station at Englewood the colored
porter happened to look out
''Fo' de Lawd's sake" {" he gasped, as
he saw the white haired bishop balanc-
ing himself on the lower step, and, has
tily unlocking the door in the vestibule
curtain, he seized the old man by the
shoulders and dragged him inside.
Stimulants judiciously administered
soon restored the bishop, and when the
train rolled into the Dearborn station
he had almost recovered from his exeit-
ing experience.
The bishop said that, although he had
travelled great deal, this was decidedly
the roughest trip of his life.-Cincin-

AN AMAZING STORY.
HOW THE GREAT AND RICH 9. AND O.
RAILROAD WAS WRECKED.

Champagne That Cost Millions-Robert
Garrett, Flushed with Wine. Told His
secret-Thomas Scott Anticipated Him.
Mary Garrett's Fine Loyalty.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
arrived in the hands of receivers.
Its descent in that direction began
when Robert Garrett opened a certain
bottle of champagne. That was the
dearest bottle of champagne on record.
It cost millions of dollars
The Baltimore and Ohio is the Oldest
steam railroad in this country. The
first stone of its roadbed was laid in
Baltimore on the Fourth Of July, 1898,
with elaborate ceremony. Over it's orig
inal length of nine miles mules dragged
its cars. Then Peter Cooper, a manu-
facturer of New York, took to Balti-
more steam engine-a curious concern,
something like boiler with a stovepipe
in it. And Cooper's engine broke down,
and the horse express beat it. Then
came the grasshopper engines that were
exhibited at the Worlds fair, the en-
bryonio germs of the tremendous loco
motives of today So, historically, the
Baltimore and Ohio is extremely inter-
esting.
The road grew. It was the first to
cross the Allegheny mountains and tap
the great west. 1t grew, and, thanks to
the energy, the executive capacity, the
untiring labor of John W. Garrett, it
thrived in time.
Garrett was of the type of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, who created the New
York Central, and of Thomas A. Scott,
the father Of the Pennsylvania. Garrett
knew everything about a railroad from
the ties to the presidents desk. Under
his management the road rose to pros

WANTED A PERFECT WIFE.

Odd Trial, Out Of Which Londoners Are
Getting Lots of Fun.
All London is laughing over the trial
of the managers of the Worlds Great
Marriage association, which cleared
$4,000 profit in ten months in its al
legged efforts to get husbands and wives
for its subscribers.

of some means, including tobacconist,
hairdresser and law student.

clared himself to be the champion back

scribed for wife of good, sound judg-
ment, able to swim, play backgammon,
of philosophical turn of mind and
able to see without spectacles.
Sir Frank Lockwood asked him if
ever in the whole course of his life he
saw woman with all these qualifica-

The witness admitted that while in
correspondence with certain Alice

dies. The prosecution charges that the
association kept what is called a
Bertha book, full of names of icti-
tious ladies', most of the letters to wife
hunters being in one handwriting, and
the book was necessary as the business
grew SO as to keep track of what women
each man had been corresponding with.
