scene. had not his advent coIncided with
the discussion gu coru aud bread. In which
event this history had never appeared.
But tho subject seemed to arrest him, and
he whispered some inquiries Of tho other
bystandcrs, and remained listening.
When he heard Henchard's closing
words, ut can't be donc," he smiled. Inn.
pulsively drew out his pocketbO0k, and
wrote down few words by the aid Of the
light In the window. He torc out tho leaf,
folded and directed II. and seemed about
to throw It In through the open sash upon
tho dining table. but. on second thoughts,
edged himself through the l0itercrs, till he
reached the door of the Inn. where one Of
tho walters who had been serving inside
was now Idly leaning against the door
post.
"Glve this to the Mayor at once" he
said. handing In his hasty note.
Elizabeth Jane had secn his movements
and heard the words. which attracted her
both by their subject and by their accent

quaint and northcrly.
The waiter took the note, while the
young stranger continues:
"And can 70 tell me of respectable
hotel that's little more moderate than
thisy"
The waiter glanced indiffercntly up and
down the street. "They say tho King OF
Prussia. just below here. Ii a very good
place." he languidly answered.; "but l
have never stayed there myself"
The ScOtchman, as he seemed to be-,
thanked him, and strolled on In the direc-
ton OF the King of Prussia aforesaid, APP

appearing slowly down tho street the
waiter left the door. md Elizabeth Jane
saw with some interest the note brought
Into the dining room and handed to the

Henchard looked at II carelessly. un.
folded It with one hand. and glanced It
through. Thereupon 1t was curious to
note an unexpected effect. The nettled,
clouded aspect which had held possession
OF bis face since the subject OF his corn
dealings had been preached, changed itself
Into one OF arrested attention. He fell
into thought. not moody. but Htfully In
tense. as that Of a man who has been cap

AN 1LL-FATED FAMILY.
The Last of the Emersons. a widow,
Found Frozen In Her Home
s mt Stratford

Tee mysterious disappearance of Mrs.
Priscilla Emerson, aged 60, widow of
the late Levi Emerson, banker of
Stafford, has been solved by the find
ing of her dead body frozen stiff in her
home. She had been dead, it was
learned, since few days before Christ
mas. Thursday night before Christ
mas nephew from Dayton was atthe
house, and later called again and said
everything about the place was just as
he left it Thursday. Sums of money
were known to have been kept in the
house, but how much there has not
been ascertained. 1t is not believed
the house had been robbed.
strange fatality seems to have fol-
lowed the fortunes of the Emersons.
Levi Emerson, ] he husband and father, is
said to have committed suicide by poi
soning himself He died suddenly and
no examination of his body was made.
Lloyd Emerson, the only son, doing q
banking business at Rising City, Neb.,
went to Colorado Springs for his health
and while taking bath burst blood
vessel and died. Miss May Emerson,
the only daughter, while handling q
razor accidentally cut herself. Blood
poisoning followed and caused her
death nine months ago. Thus the en-
tire family has been wiped out by IA
talities.

MUST STAND TRIAL.
Senator Quay, His Son and Haywood
Denied Their Petition for
Writ of Certiorari.

Philadelphia, Jan. II. - The petition
Of United States Senator M. S. Quay,
his son Richard R. Quay, and ex-State
Treasurer Benjamin F. Haywood. for a
writ of certiorari removing the trial of
the conspiracy case against them
from the local court to the supreme
court was dismissed by the supreme
court. The case was remanded 10 the
quarter sessions court of this city for
trial and the costs of the proceedings
were placed on the petitioners.
The petition of the defendants
ayerred that on account Of political
prejudices they were of the belief that
they could not obtain fair and impair
tial trial in the Philadelphia court Of
quarter sessions when the suit against
them was instituted. The charge
against the defendants is that of con-
spiracy with John s. Hopkins, the
cashier of the Peoples bank (who COM
mitted suicide in March of last year)
in the use of state funds on deposit in
that bank. The defendants were placed
under arrest in October last and as a re-
suit of preliminary hearing entered
bail for trial.

IOWA STATE NEWS,
SHE WAS PLUcKY.
A schooi-Teacher Draws n Revolve,
Upon Nam Who Demands That
She Must Marry Him.

Mitchell county is becoming storm
center for sensational transactions. On
the 5th of December one Wallace Bur.
nett called at schoolhouse in the
northern part of the county and de-
manded that the teacher marry him.
This she refused to do. He then tried
to eXtort 1925 from her, threatening to
Kill her If she did not. The plucky
schoolma'am drew revolver and fired
at him. He mounted his steed and never
stopped until he had crossed into Min
nesota. 5He was arrested, brought back
to this state, indicted and brought 10
trial in just two weeks.
The case occupied the time of the
court in Usage five days and was highly
sensational The defendant did all in
his power to blacken the name of the
schocl-teacher. He claimed that he had
let her have money to get out of "trou-
bic" An old "hag" from Minnesota, as
the county attorney called her, was
brought to Usage to testify against the
girl. Letters were also produced pur-
porting to have been written by Miss
Ogden. These were not dated nor
signed, and it is believed that she never
wrote them. She denied that she ever
wrote them, and her testimony was not
impeached. 1t is the theory of the
county attorney that conspiracy was
formed to blacken the name of the girl
and extort money from her father. The
defendant was convicted, and the judge
gave him the full penalty, two years in
the penitentiary. The girl was vindi-
Gated and the community rejoices in the
fact.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Life Insurance of Voluntary Bank
rupts Declared to Be nm Asset BIZ
Judge shirus.


Dubuque, Ia, Jan. lin the federal
court Judge Shiras decided that life
insurance of az voluntary bankrupt
becomes an asset. Hugo Lang, bank
rupt, held the policy to be exempt, and
Referee Webster decided in his favor.
An appeal was taken, the question be-
ing: Is an endowment policy on the
life Of a voluntary bankrupt exempt
from classification as asscts?" Judge
shiras considered the question of so
much importance that he filed written
opinion, holding the policy not exempt,
and that sum equal to its cash value
must be turned over to the trustee with
in 80 days, or the policy becomes a
listed asset. The decision is of the
greatest Importance to bankrupts car
rying life insurance.
