AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Strange Story in the Death of
John Knox.

There seems to be q combination
OF unusual circumstances in connec-
ton with the death of John Knox,
"Old man Knox" he was called, who
died Thursday night at his room on
North A st.
The old gentleman lived a close
life and had few friends and no con-
fidants. He was secretive in habit
and life and there are none who knew
of his affairs. He was not to be ap-
preached and people generally left
the old man to his own thoughts and
resources. He always paid cash for
the little that he purchased and as
he asked favors from no one he was
left severely alone. He seemed to
have an interest in no one and no
one had an interest in him.
He was known to have means and
considerable property, He paid his
taxes and lived to himself in his own
way.
For several years the old man lived
in a house on north @ street and few
indeed we're the people who saw the
interior of his home. He used news
papers for curtains and they were at
the windows from month to month,
year in and year out. During the
summer months the old man had
been in the habit of going out to his
little place of eight acres east of the
city and near Spring Greek. This
property is in good repair and val
liable, being worth about $1,000.
The question now arises, where is
the old gentleman's means? There
is no account with any bank in the
city and no papers or accounts can
be found anywhere. Mr.. Knox about
two months ago sold property in
the city for 81, 2O0,a cash transaction,
and he could not have disposed of
this money within that time in his
manner of living. Yet the funds are
not to be traced or found. They are
hOO AZ Udhhi anu UuoTc 10 dDoOluIClJ
no trace of them. The deceased had
considerable real property in addi-
ton to that which was sold recently.
There is no will that has yet been
found but an administrator will be
appointed to care for the estate I'M
til some sort of a settlement is reach
ed. 1t is said that the old gentleman
has son somewhere and every ef-
fort will be made to find the heir.
The wife of the deceased died some
months ago and was buried in the
Friends cemetery. 1t was thought
that it would be proper to place the
remains of the old man by the side
of the wife but as there was some
controversy concerning this on oc-
count of the absence of the cemetery
trustees the remains were laid in the
receiving vault at Forest Cemetery
there to await developments.
The funeral procession was strik-
ing one. He went to his rest as he
had lived, alone. There was the
hearse bearing the corse and single
carriage followed.

TWIN BRIDES ARE MIXED.
Bridegrooms OF Double Wedding DO
NOt Know which wife IL which

Binghamton, N. Y, Jan 10 -
Which sister did Henry Wilkinson of
Alton, H., marry? That is the ques-
ton puzzling not only Mr.. Wilkinson
but another groom and the guests
assembled at the wedding.
The brides were twin sisters, Flor
ence and Rose Eska. When Wilkin-
son appeared on the scene both fell
in love with him. He was blissfully
unconscious of this at the time, but
he wooed and won Rose. Florence
was chagrined, but accepted the at
tentions of another sutton and ar
arrangements were made for double
wedding. The brides were attired
exactly alike in white and their own
parents could not tell them apart.
AS they stepped in front of the min
lister a guest jokingly remarked: "Be
careful, girls, that you do not change
places" In spirit of fun the two
exchanged.
After the ceremony Florence ex-
claimed that she had welded Will
kinson, as Rose did not changr back
Rose declared The change was only
momentary and that she stepped
back before the ceremony. The
guests we're divided on the question,
and the minister said that in the
confusion he had not noticed. The
result is that the two husbands do
not know which their wives are.
They cannot legally be married a
second time for fear of committing
bigamy, nor can "a separation be OBJ
tanned as they do not know which
girl to name in the court papers.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP
Twenty-Five Years. Constant Use
without Failure

The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as sure sign OF
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough
cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Rem
cdy is given as soon as the child be-
comes haorse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the at,
tack. 1t is used in many thousands OF
homes in this broad land and never dis
appoints the anxious mothers. We have
yet to learn of single instance in which
it has not proved efectual. No other
preparation can show sucn a record -
twenty-five years constant use without
