story has been current for many years
concerning one of these engagements
and its breaking.
1t has not been told in public, for
these affairs of the heart are seldom
discussed except amo ng those who feel
that their close ties of blood or of
friendship give them the right to do so.
This story links her name with that OF
man prominent in the Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
When he was rising young preacher
and she an ardent, though youthful
temperance advocate, they met, and
admiration ripened into love. The
story goes, not only among her friends,
but among his as we'll that they be-
came engaged and were soon to have
been married, when they decided that
their lives should run in separate chan
nels.
She wanted to continue her active
work for temperance, after the union.
He, her friends say preferred that her
devotion to the temperance cause
should be second to her devotion to the
prospective home. On this they could
not agree.
The final parting came, and with it
the proud declaration bs the lending
advocate of temperance that she would
"make the name of Frances Willard as
famous IS that of Cyrus D. Foss."
Death found Miss Willard at the
head of the greatest reform movement
Of the world. Mr.. Foss has for years
been one of the Bishops of the Metho-
dist Church.

The First Gun Busted.

A few days back the city was flood
ed with red flyers flamingly annouuc-
ing that the first gun Of the populist
campaign would be fired in Chanute.
Wednesday night Sept. 7, promising a
very feast of eloquence and music.
It was with good deal of trembling
that we approached the hall on the
evening advertised, at about 7:15, ex.
pecting to find the hall filled to over
flowing and to meet regular flood OF
eloquence pouring down the front
steps like maple syrup over the edge
of buckwheat cakes.
We were disappointed. We found a
crowd of possibly two hundred all,
told, mostly republicans and none
voters. There seemed to be sort OF
cold storage atmosphere prevailing
the room.
After considerable waiting. the
several speakers and a number OF the
faithful arose In the back part of the
house and filed up the aisle with meas
ured steps and solemn mein, remind
ing one Of the pail bearers at a fu-
neral moving forward to remove the
corpse.
No decorations on the stage or in
the hall: no water on the speakers
table; no music, but every thing wear
| ing sad, neglected forlOrn appear
ence; no enthusiasm and no heart In
the matter. :,
The audience began fling out al
most from the start, and by the time
the speeches were finished the Orat-
ors we're addressing empty benches.
This was one of the --LATEST toed
political meetings it has ever been
our lot to attend. The speeches were
a Disappointment to the republicans
present, and a modification to the
few populists.
Will give some comments on the
speeches next week.
