numerous occasions repulscd even the
slightest attempts TO gala her good

declarations OF her dislike. The de-
teeuyes believe that at the first oppor-
trniiy Mrs. Moody will break from the
restraint and notify her husband OF
her whereabouts. In the meantime
the search for her is being strenuously

IL. Rhimes started in life poor, but by
frugalfty and industry succeeded in ac-
cumulating comfortable fortune,
which after 1876 rapidly dwindled, as
the result of litigation in divorce
courts. Rhimes may now be said to
be rich only in experience.
Miss Emeline Candy of Minneapolis
was the Indiana mans first wife. When
Rhimes was IS years old he decided to
marry, and advertised in a Chicago

the hand of fate separated Rhimes
from his girl bride. and the much-mar

Rhimes left Indiana and returned a

short time before the outbreak OF

Hines. II Is said, footed the bill.
The Level Woods" is about eight
miles from Hodgenville. and is an al
most unbroken forest. II Is hard to
imagine a more forbidding and dcs-
olate place. In the heart OF this dreary
wilderness was the home OF Ben Pick
erell. Here Mary Schader was taken,
and. after a few months a boy was
born.
Old Pickerell was rather well-to-do,
owning a large farm and a number OF
slaves. His family consisted of his
wife and several children, among
whom was a grown son.
After Mary Schader recovered, she
decided to remain with the Pickerells
In the capacity OF a servant, and she
and her child were installed in a log
cabin some distance from the family
residence. Her baby throve and grew
to be a fine healthy boy. and Mary
herself was more charming and pref

and she and her baby became favorites

old lady's opposition only increased
the affection between the couple. In
the meantime Mary Schader had made
Il known that she intended to institute
suit against Doctor Hines, and that
gentleman was greatly worried about
1t. Thus Miss Schader's existence had
| become exceeding obnoxious to two
persons. Mrs. Pickerell had repeatedly
urged her son TO cease his attentions
TO the "wanton." as she styled her, and
had also spoken TO Mary about the
matter in no mild terms. but the lovers
persisted in their determination to
marry. After time Mrs. Pickerell

says: r,gr Hs,s agilamggsao2 $
The republican voters of the several
counties of the state of Minnesota are
requested to send delegates to the state
convention to be held in Exposition Hall
at Minneapolis, on Tuesday, March "a,
1896, at IL o'clock noon, for the pur--
pose OF electing four delegates at large

IT'S very generally conceded that Min

at large to the st. Louis convention, and
the friends of the genial Robert G. Ev-
ans, better known as Bob Evans, are
urging him for the place. No better
selection could be made. Mr.. Evans is
republican of a type which it will be
well for the party to perpetuate. Loyal,
self-sacri6cing, able-and with an ac-
quaintance as wide as the territorial
limits of the United States, he is calcu-
lated to exert an influence in behalf of
Minnesota which few men could. AS a
member of the national committee, he
has been long in touch with the best in.
fuences within the party, and it is
epinently fitting that he should be given
prominent place in Minnesota's dele
