CARRIE WILLIAMS,

Evans began to insinuate about the
character of the girl and to repudiate
all intentions of marrying her. 1t ap-
pears to have been his ~insinuations
that most incensed the people Of Dill
lon, their indignation at one time hav-
ing taken such a phase that the object
Of them found it expedient to leave
town.
For three years matters between the
two had been approaching the climax.
On Monday, Dec. IL, two ladies came
from Breckenridge to Dillon. One of
them, a married lady, had been much
with Evans in Dillon society, and it
seems had found that her meetings
with him formed the basis for the
jealousy of the Williams girl. On this
evening, Evans called on the ladies
from Breckenridge. On his way to
visit them he stopped at a confection-
cry store kept by a Mrs. Lundstrom
and left a note for Miss Williams say
ing that he could not meet her until
after 10 O'Clock. His madly jealous
victim received this message as he
had no doubt intended she would. 1t
increased her jealousy even more than
the heartless wretch could have hoped.
Mrs. Thomson says that her sister told
her next morning that IN receiving
the note she went to the rear door of
the postofice and there awaited until
midnight the return of her lover, know
ing that he slept there and would
eventually return. At midnight he
came, and from that hour until 4 in
the morning the girl upbraided the
man for his INCONSISTENCY. The scene
must have been a stormy one, since
from it dates the real climax of the ar
fair.
Soon after breakfast on Tuesday
morning, after telling her sister Of the
dispute, Miss Williams went down to
the %postofice. From the delivery win
dow Evans handed her a letter from
himself, saying not a word. His greet
ing had been that Of a stranger to-
ward her. With this letter the heart
broken girl fastened to the little store
of her confidant, Mrs. Lundstrom. and
there read her dismissal. In cold, un-
feeling words, the wretch who had TAX
en- her good name in the community,
told the confiding girl that he would
have nothing more to do with her,
that he could not have anything to do
with a Jealous woman. This from the
mar who had made her Jealous, had
probably given her cause for jealousy,
was more than the heartbroken girl
could stand. In a rear room of the lit
tie store she wept for hours. At the
end OF her weeping. telling her friend
she was going to kill herself. she went

The Marlborough Blenheim.

The first gift which the Duke of
Marlborough presented to his wife on
her arrival at her ducal home was a
little Blenheim spaniel. 1t is a ira
dition in the house of Marlborough
that each duchess shall have as a con-
slant companion one of these faithful
little dogs. The reason for this dates
back to the battle of Blenheim, when
a pet spaniel belonging to the first
Duke of Marlborough followed his
master on the battle field and never
left his heels for a single moment.
After the battle, Sarah. the Duchess of
Marlborough, adopted the brave little
fellow and took 1t with her wherever
she went. thus establishing a precedent
for all the duchesses that have com,

al prosecuting his remarkable can
vass, Senator Atchison addressed the
people at various places, and generally
in company with Representative James
S. Green. Among his appointments
with Mr.. Greene was one at Columbia
on July FL Both spoke at great
length and with acknowledged ability.
Senator Atchison was cool and dispas-
sionate, INDUCING in no denunciation
or personal abuse, and often referred
to Benton as "your most distinguished
Ienator." He occupied much time in
defending the right of instruction as
a doctrine canonized In the traditions
and principles of the Democratic par
ty, to which they both belonged, and
in seeking to show that Benton's ZAP
peal" was at war with the doctrine.
Senator Atchison was a leading and
active anti-Benton and pro-slavery

Democrat, and during the tendency of
the Kansas-Nebraska question in con-
gress, as well as after his retirement
from the senate, he had the courage
of his convictions and took a promi-
nent and aggressive part in efforts to
enforce them. His .sympathies were
with the south during the civil war,
and he only declined a commission as
brigadier general in the confederate
army that was rendered him by Gov.
jackson because the county was not
within the limits of the division.
Senator Atchison was a man of i'm
posing presence, 6 feet 2 inches high,
and straight as az arrow, ford COM
p%lexion, and would weigh about 200
pounds. He was the soul of honor,
a member of the Presbyterian church,
a fine conversationalist and possessed
a great and exact memory. AS a citi-
zen he was plain, jovial and unostenta-
tlous, and simple in his tastes. He
was not an aristocrat in dress, living
or life, but a democrat by nature and
education, with profound ~sympathies
for what Mr.. Lincoln called "the COM
mon people" He regarded himself as
one Of the people, and therefore for
the people. He was not an orator,
and in his speeches to senate or peo-
pie did not attempt to reach conclu-
sions by curved lines ornamented with
the flowers and festoons Of classic die
ton, but by straight lines that h" re-
garded as most ornamented when or
namented the least. His speeches
were not beautifully polished shafts OF
Corinthian marble, but ragged col
umns of native granite. He was nc
orator as Brutus is, but, as all the
people knew, a plain blunt man, who
only spoke right on. Atchison coun
ty, Mo-, and the City of Atchison, Kan.
were named in honor of him.

Letter From the Kansas and Nebraska
Delegates to Dauphin.

Letter From the Kansas and Nebraska
Delegates to Dauphin.
Prince Albert, Sask.,
18th August, 1898.
William McCreary, Esq, Immigra-
ton Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Strive, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, U. S. A, in
reporting the results of our trip to
Dauphin, and subsequently to Regina,
Prince Albert and the middle Sas-
katchewan country, beg to say that our
tickets were limited to q days, and as
we had other large regions to visit, we
could only spend a short tim In the
Dauphin country. We examined, how
ever, the principal cultivated areas IN
the southern parts of township 70,
range 10, the great wheat fields OF WIS
hart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith, ROSS,
Sinclair, the Whitmores, Drinkwaters,
etc., and subsequently, others to the
north, and never, in our experience,
have we seen finer grain. The whole
country is watered by numerous
streams flowing from the slopes OF
Riding Mountain, and excellent well
water is found everywhere at from > to
10 feet. Extensive forests of spruce
and tamarack cover the northern parts
of the mountains, from which timber
Is manufactured in Dauphin and else
where, and sold at $12 a thousand
at the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits
are abundant, and ripen in the open
air. Vegetation throughout is surpris-
ingly luxuriant, and without hesita-
ton we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
Of the continent. The output of wheat
last year was about 5000 bushels, but
this year it is estimated at over a mil
lion. Westward lie the homestead
lands which now. and when fresh sur
veys are completed, will afford COM
Portable homes to thousands of dill
gent families. The great Gilbert
Plains, also, we were unable to visit,
where grain growing has been conduct
ed with the best results for years, and
which will become a vast wheat field
as 500 a. a branch railway reaches
there. Settlement is speeding in all
these regions, reminding us indeed of
the early days in our own ~states;' and,
as we have examined, since our visit to
Dauphin, a portion of the great coun-
try lying south and east of Prince AL
bert, we can readily imagine the tide
of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian west.

CHINESE NEWS REPORTER.
La Grange (Ind.) Correspondence.

La Grange (Ind.) Correspondence.
The Sanderson murder case at Bat
tie Creek, in which, it is alleged, a
wife poisoned her husband by the use
of ground glass, has brought to light
a Chinese newspaper reporter. Battle
Creek claims the distinction of hav-
ing the only Chinaman who writes for
newspapers for many states around.
William S. Lee is known to the citi-
zens as the American Chinaman, and
is American in every particular, even
to having his queue cut off. His Ian
guage is good and he speaks a clear
tongue. His work in the murder case
consists of translating the facts into
the Chinese language, which, he said,
is a very tedious undertaking. His let
tiers are sent to Hongkong. He said
that there is an old tradition In China

that no Chinaman shall kill his en-.
envy; that the greatest curse any one
can have is to have a Chinaman kill
himself at the door of his enemy. SUI
icide is popular to a certain extent
in China, but more so with women
than with men. AS the woman is
considered inferior to the man, the
alleged killing of the husband by the
use of ground glass is causing a sem
sation in the Chinese metropolis. Mr..
Lee was born in Portland, Ore. and
has travelled extensively in many Eu-
ropean and Asiatic countries. The
profits which accrue to him now from
his business will be used for a course
in navigation, which is his ambition,

whom she refused; my Lord Newbot-
tie. with whom she flirted desperately;
Mr.. Thomas Bunbury, whom she after
wards married, and no doubt a score
of others whose names are not record
ed. Last Of all, there was the Prince
of Wales, now become George III. of
England, who was a willing victim.
He saw Lady Sarah often.
There was no Irritation here; the
king was in deadly earnest. There was
no stupid royal marriage act in force;
this the king, perhaps in the light Of
his W experience, thoughtfully pro-
vided for his relations when they be-
gan to marry into Horny Wolpole's
family. But at present the king knew
his own mind, and there is no doubt
h a if Lady Sarah had known hers,
she might have assembled the throne
In 1851 as Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland.
Shortly afterwards Lady Sarah went
n Somersetshire, rode out, fell with
her horse, and fractured her leg. The
faithless Newbottle made some unfeel-
ing remark when told of the accident;
the faithful king was all solicitude for
the suffering young beauty. The young
girl at last, perhaps, Knew her mind;
but it was too late. There was more
in the rumor in the princess from
Mecklenburg than Fox thought. 1t
was all over; there was no doubt about
it at all. The king summoned the
council to the marriage, and
Lord Harcourt went over for the
princess, and the little, self-possessed
lady came across the Channel to Har-
witch, and was not seasick for above
half an hour, but sang and played on
the harpsichord nearly all the way.
Poor Lady Sarah!-and her troubles
were not over yet, either.
The king selected her as n of the
bridesmaids, "all beautiful figures"
says Mr.. Walpole, "but with neither
features nor air; Lady Sarah was by
far the chief angel" The marriage did
not take place till 10 o'clock at night.
There were the pretty bridesmaids,
with Lady Sarah at their head, all in
a row, and the king had more eyes
for Lady Sarah than for his bride all
through the ceremony. When it was
over, up comes my Lord Westmore-
land.
And then the old Jacobite, who
has hardly any eyes at all, mis-
takes Lady Sarah for the queen, drops
on one knee, and takes her hand to
kiss it. Lady Sarah has to draw back
with a blush, and cry: II am not the
queen, sir" and George Selwyn utters
that bitter jest: "You know he always
loved ~Pretenders." Did ever romano
end in such embarrassment for a poo
young girl of sixteen?

A Y

AS old King George II. was taking
the air in Kensington Gardens one fine
summer morning in the middle of the
last century, says the writer of an in
teresting article in the January num-
Der of the Cornhill, a little girl of five
years, who was walking with her sis
tiers and the Swiss nurse, broke away
from the party, skipped up to the
king, dropped a curtesy, and greeted
him with the remark: Comment vous
portez-vous, M. lie roi? Vous avez lei
une grande ct belle maison, n'est-ce
pas?" The old king, familiar, and per-
haps bored, with the pomp and ETH
quette of his usual relations with his
subjects, was pleased beyond measure
at the originality of the introduction.
He took notice of the child, often
had her to visit him at the palace
afterwards, even romped with her, and
put her in a large china jar, where,
instead of showing fright, she sang
"Malbrouck sen va-t-en guerre' at
him from under the lid. The little girl
was Lduy odldh hcuuOA, anu, as
daughter of the Duke of Richman, a
great officer of the court, she and her
sisters had the privilege of being in
the gardens to see the royal prone
made. 1t was the prettiest entrance
imaginable to the great world where
this young lady was destined for a
time to play a great part. Ten or a
dozen years later all fashionable Lon
don was agog with excitement, wrote
letters, reported every movement and
every rumor of Lady Sarah, for it was
the question of 1851 whether she was
or was not to become queen of Eng
land.
In 175S Lady Sarah entered London
society, and returned to the care of
| Harry Fox and his wife at Holland
House, a tall, beautiful shy girl of
fourteen. Two years later the town
was in raptures. in fact, and all the
young men were making Sleeps eyes
at the beauty of sixteen. There was
