QUEEN OF THE NECHES
A Romance Of Real Life Disclosed by q
Remarriase.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE DEAL
Tom Murphy Had 10th Legs Mashed
ON and Was Drowncd-lntcrest
ing Local Notes.

Beaumont, April 10.--After living niteen
years as Mr. and Mrs. Tempe, legally and
lawfully married by that name, Mr.. W. n.
wynne and Miss Maggie Storm were TINS
morning again united in the holp BONDS OF
wedlock by County Judge o'Brien. me
story connected with the marriage, or re-
marriage, is a strange one and is published
by request Of Mr.. wynne. 1t Is briefly as
follows: The story told is thus. About
twenty years ago W. r. Wynne resided
elsewhere In Texas. His wife died leaving
him one child, a boy. After the death
of his wife Wynne plunged into disslpa-
ton and to use his own words, became
pretty tough. Fearing that he would bring
disgrace upon his relatives he disappeared,
leaving his son with relatives and as
sumed the name of Tempe. About nfteen
years ago he met Miss Maggie Storm and,
without disclosing his identity, married
her under the name or Tempe.
He had then reformed and has since lived
sober, industrious life. Never communal
eating with his relatives, he believed that
they as we'll as his son believed him dead
and had forgotten him. II seems that sucn
was not the case. His son, who had be-
come prominent young lawyer, had been
searching for his father for years and sue
ceeded in locating him at Beaumont few
days ago.
The son came here quietly few days
ago and visited his father and the meeting
was happy. The young man insisted that
his father resume his right name and this
Mr.. Wynne consented to do, and to this end
he and his wife were remarked this morn
ing.
MIR. Wynne is a carpenter by trade ana
expects to continue his residence in Beau
mont. He has many acquaintances here
and he trusts that the above explanation
will be sufficient to dispel the impression
that he was going ander a false name with
the view of fraud or imposition. He had
merely shielded the name OF his mother
aud father from disgrace that might fol-
low any act during his days Of intemper-
ance. He will be known as Mr.. w. r.
Wynne henceforth.

AN ENJOYABLE OPERA.
"The Doctor of Alcn ntarn" Presented
Ivy Home Talent.


The audience which greeted 1.-THE Doc
tor of Alcantara" last night at Turner
hall, given under the auspices Of the Fra
ternal Mystic Circle. while not large. was
a most enthusiastic and appreciative one.
There were probably 200 people present
and they had the pleasure of witnessing
the best local talent OF Houston in one of
the most entertaining comic operas that
has been seen on the local stage this sea-
son.
To say that the acst which presented this
play was equal to that OF professionals
would not be correct, but so near did they
approach the professional line that the
rendition of the different parts was In
deed much better than had been antici-
pated by those who were lucky enough TO
attend AS a general thing plays OF this
character. which are presented by talent
that has not been especially cultivated and
trained by tutors that make it business,
becomes firing to an audience such as wit
messed "Alcantara" last night. But such
was not the case, and there was not
time during the entire play that the audi
ence was not deeply interested and enter
tanned Every member of the cast seemed
perfectly at home on the stage and acted
with that case and grace that comes Win
much training and work. The voices iced
not be commented upon, for the people Ct
Houston are too we'll acquainted with them
and fully appreciate their worth.

To the Bditor Of The Post
Since you have been agitating the rails
ms of $4,000 necessary for the proliml-
nary work on the deep water project. the
writer has heard II spoken of several
times that 1t would be good idea, and a
very feasible one. for the city and county
TO appropriate this $4,000.
The city has Just sold lot OF bonds
and has received something over $4,000
premium on the sale.
Now. In conversation with Others and in
my own humble opinion, It seems that the
best way In which to have everybody help
pass this $4,000 will be for the city to APP
propriate this $4,000, thereby everyone
contributing to this fund.
Likewise l think that the county could
very we'll afford to appropriate this
amount, as not only would the city and
the entire county be benefited by this. but
it would relieve the citizens committee OF
great deal of unpleasant work.
do not know whether there are any
legal obstacles in the way of this or not.
l merely suggest It for consideration.
My firm &c. l.. and Theo. Rering. Jr)
stands ready to contribute $4,000 when
ever the committee is appointed to So
licit. Yours truly.
