Oliver Optic Dead.

Boston, Mass, March 27.-Wm.
7. Adams, (Oliver Optic the we'll.
known author, died shortly after
o'clock tt is morning.
Nearly all of Mr.. Adams life has
been devoted to writing for the
young, and every schooltoy and girl
in the land will be panied to hear of
his death. He was born in Midway
county, Mass in 1922, and for 20
years was teacher in the public
schools of Boston.
His career as a writer of juvenile
stories began in 1850, and he has
produced thousands of stories for
newspapers exclusive of those pub
lished in book form. But his fame
among children is probably based
on the popularity of hs "Oliver Op-
tics Magazine for Boys and Girls" -"
He published his first book in
1853, "Hotchie, the Guardian Slave
which was widely read. His pub
lished works comprise about 100
volumes. Two novels for older read
ers came from his pen-"The Way
of the World" and Living Too

HUNDREDS OF DUNKARDS MOVING.

They will Find New Homes in North Dakota.
Chicago. ILL.,, March 21.-Some
$500 Dunkards, who came from all
parts of the country to join in the
general exodus of the members
of this peculiar colony to the prom
ised land OF North Dakota, left last
night on a special train on the Great
Northern road for Devils Lake and
Cando, where the prin cipal colonies
of the North Dakota Dunkards are
located.
During the day special trains ar
rived in Chicago bringing the mem
bers of the Dunkard church from
all eastern points. Pennsylvania con.
tributed the biggest contingent to
the immigrants, but there were also
special trains from Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and Indi-
ana. Several trains had to be made
up for the big party, and all their
belongings filed three freight trains.
The colony in North Dakota has
only been established a few months,
but the reports OF the men who have
already gone out there have brought
about a general exodus. Mass meet
ings were held in nearly all the com.
munities of Dunkards in the East,
with the result that many of them
determined to 60 West. All the men
Dunkards are farmers, and they ex.
pect to find good land in North
Dakota.

He Paid Off An $1,000 Mortgage For a
Poor Widow and Was None the Loser.
The story is going the rounds of
the newspapers that Jesse james
and his gang once stopped at the
house OF a poor widow in northeast
Missouri and ordered dinner while
plundering through that part of the
state. After the widow had hustled
around and gotten up the best din
ner possible, she told Jesse she was
in great trouble, that the mortgage
on her home was due that very day
and the landshark would be there in
a few hours to turn her out if the
money was not forthcoming, The
great bandit asked how much the
amount was. and when told that it
was S1,SO0, he pulled the money out
of his boot leg and handed it to the
poor woman. The man came, re-
ceived the money and released the
mortgage. but had not proceeded far
on his trip until he was told to
"throw up his hands" and Jesse not
only took the eighteen hundred dol
lars but all the money and valuables
the man had On his person, and rode
away with happy smile OH his fuce.
There were some good traits
about Jesse James after all.

The Two Ballots Already Tal<en

FRANKFORT, KY, March 24-The
several forces in Kentucky's famous
senatorial struggle lined Up like armies
ready for battle. The two ballots al
ready taken were but strength tt wing
skirmishes, and no one knows which
side will make the first real attack.
Tonight it is whispered that the anti
Hunter Republicans are ready TO act,
and are urging the Democrats, no are
in the Bradley coalition scheme, to
make the dash decided on tomorrow.
Hunter, with six boiling Republicans,
has secured three Democratic votes,
and is putting forth every effort TO Sc
cure the two additional votes necessary
to his election.
The ti-Hunter- Bradley coalition
proposes to hurry up matters to pre-
vent his securing these votes. When
the break does come, and more than
the six boiling Republicans go 10 vot-
ing with the Democrats for Bradley
it is believed that some free silver
Democrats will turn to Hunter, ard
make the finish fight one Of the closest
and most exciting on record.
