A SOUTH DAKOTA ROMANCE.
After Sixty Years of Separation the Lows
of Their Youth Unites Them as One.

n fter Sixty Years OF Separation the Love
of Their Youth Unites Them As One.
The REGISTERS attention was
called to the following romance by
Mrs. Z. E. Dodge, OF this city, who is
Mr. Smiths daughter. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. and Mrs. J. ii.
Smith moved here from Minneapolis
so as TO be near their daughter and
not long afterward Mrs. Smith died
and the husband returned to Mime
apolis. The romance reads as follows:
The great blizzard which swept over
South Dakota thirteen years ago, laid
the foundation for the renewal Of
romance which had its inception
nearly sixty years ago. The parties
interested in this romance are John
ii. Smith, Of South Minneapolis,
Mimi, and Mrs. Elizabeth Wood Coss.
lee, of Ravenswood, Chicago. Nearly
sixty years ago John Fl. Smith and
Elizabeth Wood were boy and girl
lovers in Chenango county, New
York. When they had arrived at a
more mature age ten years later
young Smith thought he could sup.
port his sweetheart in the proper
style, but wheh he asked for her hand
in marriage the girls father fatty re-
fused the offer.
Years passed on, other ties and
friendships we're formed and the two
old companions did not see each other
for forty years, BY one Of those Pc
culiar incidents they met after forty
years OF separation. The girl married
man named Cosslee and they moved
to the southern part of South Dakota
some fifteen years ago and located on
a large stock ranch. The next family
to move into that neighborhood was
John Fl. Smith and his family, and
thus the two old lovers were uncon-
sciously brought together. As a nat
ural consequence the two families be-
came very intimate and visited back
and forth, but none suspected that
they were old lovers.
In the great blizzard Of thirteen
years ago Mr. Cosslee lost his life.
He went to the barn to feed his horses
and though it was but hundred feet
from the house he never got back
there. He became bewildered in the
storm and wandered three miles from
his home and his body was not found
until three weeks afterwards, deeply
imbedded in a snow bank.
Mrs. Cosslee disposed of her ranch
and moved back to Chicago, and ten
years after Mr.. Smith sold his farm
and moved to Minneapolis. No word
of communication passed between the
two people until last fall, when Mrs.
C0sslee received letter from Mr..
Smith telling Of the death of his wife
a year before, which occurred in South
Dakota. A brief correspondence en-
sued between the old people, and Mr..
Smith renewed the suit he commenced
sixty years before.
The stern old parent had been in
his grave almost half century, their
children were all happily married,
and there seemed to be no good reason
why these old lovers could not unite
their lives even at this late date. Mrs.
Cosslee was not averse, and few
weeks ago the ceremony was per-
formed, and the old couple have
moved to South Minneapolis to end
their lives together In happiness long
denied. Mrs. Smith is granddaugh-
ter OF "Halleujah" Bowen, the cele-
brated Methodist preacher.

OBITUARY.

= SERGEANT SAMUEL r. BISHOP.
In the death of Sergeant Bishop, which
occurred at his home In Cape Elizabeth
on the 8th inst, the veterans OF the Civil
war have lost from their ranks q highly
esteemed comrade. When 10 years OF
age he enlisted as a private In Co. b,
nth Maine volunteers, being afterwards
promoted to CORPORAL and sergeant in
the same company for good and gallant
conduct. He took part In the following
engagements: Fredericksburg, The
Cedars, Chancellorsviiie, The Wilderness,
Pc River, Spottsylvania, Fredericksburg
Road, North Anna, Potopotomy, Cold
HaI Dor, Petersburg Assaults, Jerusalem
Road, Deep Bottom, PEBBLES Farm,
Fort Hell. Boydton Road, Siege Of
Petersburg, Hatchers' Run, FAN of
Petersburg, DeatonsvilIe, Sailor Creek
Farmyille, and the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox.
In the great battles OF the Wilderness
and Spottsyivania, early in May, 1854.
the regiment had lost two-thirds of It's
strength. Or the color guard only four

had falien-ons killed, Sergeant Il. q.
Parker OF Co. X, the other, Sergeant Ed
win Emery Of +, badly wounded. Private
Bishop had been noticed for good con-
duct, and he was designated for promo.
ton to corporal, soon after being en-
trusted with the national colors of the
regiment, which he brayely carried In
the front line Of battle to the end of the
war. He was never wounded.
Returning homo with the regiment in
1855, he soon purchased few acres of
land and established his home where he
has reared his family, and has been in
employed in raising and deal
ing In farm produce for the Portland
market.
A wide cirnle of friends will miss his
CHEEKY presence, his sparkling eye, his
vivacious ways and conversation; none
more than his mourning, surviving COM
rades OF the 18th Maine. v.

Understand. How to Increase Her BUSH
ness.

The landlady OF a certain restaurant In
Brockton, Mass, has increased her bust
ness so rapid ly that she has had to en-.
large her dining room to accommodate
the continually increasing patronage
One OF her guests gives the reason.
Every morning she serves her regular
guests with Craps Nuts and hot milk or
hot cream in cold weather, and cold
cream in summer. / began eating this
food and right away began to feel an I'M
proyement in my health. had been ter
ribiy troubled with nervousness and dys-
pepsia and found 1t impossible TO find a
food that would agree with me, until ]
began boarding at this restaurant.
The new food, in four months, In
creased my weight from le0 pounds to
las and never felt as well In my life as
l do now. There Is something remark
able in the sustaining power OF this food
have never been able TO obtain such re-
suits from any other" G. X. Herssy, 30

INTO DARK ALLEYwAY,
Liquor Deputies Found Barroom
Fnisd with Patrons.

Driven OF the well lighted streets and
from the places where the thirsty could
easily find them the rum sellers have
taken TO dark aIleyways and Kitchen
harrooins for the carrying on Of the
traffic which IL remnngrative. Last night
the liquor deputies succeeded In locating
one OF these PLACES and found that u
was filed with men who were enjoying
themselves after the old fashion.
At the foot OF Center street and near
Com mercial is gate wav which guards
the entrance to an alley running lback
parallel with Commercial street to q
small shed used for the manufacture of
hop beer. This aIleyway Is dark and the
shed not easy 60 find but when the liquor
deputies approached this place last night
they heard the noise OF loud oonve rsation
within the shed showing that there were
some people who knew the way even in
the dark. The deputies made sudden
jump into this shed which was crowded
with men. some OF them pretty we'll
known about town. Here was an i'm
provised bar behind which were horsed
up two barrels OF ale. The barkeeper. had
warning enough to get out from behind
the bar and mingle with the crowd but
he left his overcoat behind which will
lead to his Identification. TIE crowd
los no time eating away but the
liquor deputies say that thsy recognized
most of the young men present and may
summon them as witnesses when the
barkeeper is arrested.
The two barrels OF ale were confscated
and carted to the store room in the county
buildingIand the deputies after fastening
up the place securely departed with the
barkeeper's overcoat.
They made some calls ut other places on
Commercial street where they found
some liquor but no arrests were made.
