Chicago, March S.-Miss Bertha Sar-
gent, belle of the village of West Chi
cago, Tilted her fiance almost at the foot
of the altar this week. and eloped with
his rival.
c. NJ. Dunn of FL Reno is the man
who got left. He is in the employ of
the C., r. 1. & p. railroad. and came
here from his home in Oklahoma, only
to find that his fiancee had decided to
marry another man. Before leaving for
West Chicago he fitted up a nice little
home for his prospective bride. He ar
rived here and Immediately went to call
on his sweetheart. Miss Sargent was
not expecting him at that hour, and
Dunn met with a surprise party in the
person of John Lee of Elgin, ILL.,
Lee and Miss Sargent We're having
the merriest time ina ginable, when the
door bell rang. Miss Sargent did not
introduce Dunn to Lee as the man she
was about to marry, and Dunn resented
the omission. Lee, on the other hand,
apparently did not realize the important
relation Miss Sargent bore to Dunn,
and the latter'S untimely entrance net
tied him.
The two men weren't together more
than ten minutes when they fell to
quarreling. They did not come to blows
but satisfied themselves with sarcastic
statements and ill-consealed innuendos.
Finally Dunn left the house, in a rage.
Taylor Sargent, Miss Sargent's father,
amiss. He went into the parlor, and,
finding Lee there, decided he was the
cause of the departure. Sargent APP
proved of Dunn and was in doubt about
Lee He therefore asked Lee to leave
the house, and Lee left.
The wedding of Miss Sargent and
Dunn had been set for Tuesday Nor
day morning Lee called the young wo-
man up on the telephone from Elgin
and asked her to marry him. Miss Sar-
gent consented, and the two then made
their arrangements for an elopement.
When Dunn called later in the day
she said not a word of the change il
her plans, but treated him coldly. Dunn
could not understand her demeanor, but
decided it was only an unusual serious
ness due to the proximity of her mar
riage.
The young woman's wedding was
nearer than he thought. That same
night she disappeared. Tuesday her par
entS were informed that she had run off
with the man of her choice and married
him at Ellgin.
The Tilted sutton was made aware of
the fact by Mr.. Sargent, and yesterday
he left Chicago for Oklahoma, broken
hearted.
Lee has a clerkship in the county
courthouse at Geneva, Ill. He is good
looking and is said to be we'll to do.
Young Dunn had known Miss Sargent
several years. He became engaged to
her while he was in the employ of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway in the
Chicago office

Newton, Kan, March S.-W. w. Well
man who used to be one of Newton's
railroad men and who is a son-in-law
of j. L. Williamson, was quite badly
injured a few days ago while running
an engine on the Chicago division of the
Santa Fe. The train which Mr.. Well
man was pulling crashed into the rear
end of a local freight and in the mix
up that followed he was severely cut
about the head and had several ribs

A decision in the case involving the
liability of an eXpressman who takes
and delivers orders for liquor under the

THE BROCKWAY'S
World Renowned
SPIRITUAL MEDIUMS.
The True Herald Of Merit is Deeds.

The secret of the Brockway F'amily's
success is that they do not profess or
advertise anything but what they are
able to do. They will not consent to
have their ability N ensured by any 9TH
er standard than their own, for there
are always partially developed mediums
and cheap pretenders found in every
city, bringing disrepute upon this truth.
1t goes without saying that the Brock
way Family are without question able
and endowed mediums, whom the public
and press are willing to endorse. The
wonderful history of the ancient seerS
does not record to their credit a more
strange and extraordinary gift than is
possessed by this family. Scientific re-
search has forced the doors of many a
dark chamber of mystery and robbed it
of it's supernatural horrors. Sound
Sense, Education and experience have
triumphed over superstition with its
legions of fancies But there is, and has
always been, the presence of an invisi-
BILE, intangible and mighty power oper-
ating through chosen beings that no
man can diSproVe or explain. 1t IS a
lamentable fact that SpiritualiSm HaS
suffered much at the hands of charla-
tans Who through their INSCRIPTIONS
greed for gain, have brought disrepute
upon the cause of truth But truth
crushed to the ground Will rise again,
and their impositions have broughttheir
contumely upon those who are able and
honest. But to condemn this truth on
account of such impoStorS would be rs
unfair and unwiSe as it would be to
condemn law or medicine because a few
of it's advocates had blundered and
plundered in it's practice. 1t has been
trftely said that public opinion is the
court of last resort, before which all
men must stand on final appeal. This
vigilant and exactinS tribunal, whose
inexorab BILE decree cannot be ignored has
Weighefthe ability of the BrockwayS in
