One usually associates a long line Of
kings with a throne, especially when
tina throne belongs to a country as old
as Belgium. yet Leopold is the second
monarch of his dynasty to rule IN

when order was evolved out of the
chaos his overthrow had wrought, Hol-
iand and Belgium were freed from
France, only to be united in one gov
eminent. The Congress of the Powers
made the fatal blunder of Joining
Catholic Belgium TO Protestant Hol-
land. This was in 1915. But the union

was as cold as diplomatic courtesy

as an irresponsible and dangerous ally
of revolutionary France.

OF that place, was engaged to IL young
women at the same time.
The announcement of his engagement to

church trial resulted, but before that
was had the reverend gentleman resigned
his charge. This fall he expects TO marry
Miss Annie Bigelow.
He arrived at Whiting about a year ago
and was soon found to be a young man
of attractive address. and was said to be
particularly fond of the society of wo-
men. Mr.. Atwood became personally ac-
quainted with the families in his church
and paid frequent visits to their homes.
He was a prime favorite I'm every home.
and many men looked forward to the day
when he would be their son-in-law.
Everything went along smoothly until a
few days ago.. when came the public an
nouncement of his engagement to Miss
Bigelow. Sixteen other damsels nearly
tainted when they heard the news. FL
nally, one by one. they confided that he
was also engaged to each of them: at
least he had promised to marry each one.
This came to the ears of the trustees of
the church, and a public Investigation
was ordered. but the young man resigned.
His only defense is that he loved them

Christian church., and he says when he
talked of marrying them it was to some
one else.

Obituary.
w. S. MOORE.

Cyras T. Nixon, formerly of this
city, and for number of years editor
OF the TIMES, died at the home Of
his daughter, Mrs. F. n Hair, of Bal
dwin, last Saturday the 4th, inst,
after a lingering illness.
Mr.. Nixon was born and reared in
Indiana. living for many years at
indianapolis, during which time he
served as clerk Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives for a number of terms and
later he served the state Senate in
the same capacity for one term. He
later removed to Greenfield, and for a
number of years, was editor of the
Greenfield Republican. He came to
Chanute in 1885 and in October Of
that year, purchased the TIMES and
was editor of the same until July 1891.
He was postmaster in this city during
Harrison's administration. In the
early COS his health began to fail and
in 1894 he went to Baldwin to live
with his daughter, where he resided
until his death.
Mr.. Nixon was an honest, christian
gentleman, poor tinancier but a
good we'll meaning man. He was high
ly educated and filled with honor and
credit, all the position he was called
on to fill. No man who ever lived in
Cbanute made more friends in the
same length of time, and much sorrow
was expressed when the announcement
of the death of Mr. Nixon was receiv-
ed in this city.
The remains were injured in the
Baldwin cemetery, Monday June 6.
