SOUGHT A KISS BUT

The Domestic yicissitudcs of n
Young New Yorker Who Has an
Unruly Wife.

NEW YORK, October 25.-(Special.)-
Having cunningly lured her husband into
the hands OF policeman, who held
warrant in which she charged him with
non-support and brutal treat menr, Mrs.
Leah Heimerdinger was chagrined to-day
when Magistrate Meade, in the Harlem
Police Court. discharged the young man.
DENYING that he had ever been cruel to
his wife, whom he married but few
months ago. as the elimination OF sea-
shore romance Heimerdinger. who is still
a minor, exhibited several letters she had
received from admirers, who, he claimed,

That's lie and he knows it., cried the
Young woman at sight OF the missives,
which were filled with endearing terms.
THE prisoner is discharged" said the
Magistrate in disgust and Eeimerdinger
rushed out of court TO get away from his
wife.
The boyish husband thinks he is a much
abused man, in view Of the fact that he
has four times attempted suicide, and
has been arrested and jailed once. all
because of his love for his wife. She
has twice deserted him since their mar
riage In August.
BY means of letter entreatinG him
to be reconciled. she arranged meeting.

ton in the district by precincts is as fol-

gains for the Democratic vote in the
county.
D. II. Hollar. a prominent farmer ano
horse trader Of Lantz Mill has been in
dicted by the grand jury of buckingham
county upon the charge Of horse-steal-
ing. AT the September Court, Hollar trad
ed a horse with a negro. who afterwards
found that he was badly worsted, and
swore out warrant for his arrest.
Mrs. Fannie Miley, wife of Mr. John w.

The Shenandoah Manufacturing Com

at this place, and fitting up the machinery
now on hand, and will begin the manu-
facture of slaves and heading as soon as
the necessary machinery arrives. This
company is on the market for all the suit
able timber which they can purchase.
A NONAGENARIAN VOTER.
The oldest man to be registered in
Shenandoah county, was placed on the
books at the Courthouse NNoodstock) pre-
ciuct and is Mr.. John T. Brooks, who
gave his age as 81 years. Mr.. Brooks was
born January 10. 1911, and is still an active
man.
The stable belonging to Captain George
W koontz Of Woodstock was party
destroyed by fire Thursday night. The
flames are supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary. Several fine
horses. two Jersey cows and two fat
hogs were rescued from the building with
difficulty. The loss Will amount to about
5000 but is fully covered by insurance.
This is the first fire OF any consequence
which has visited this place since the
opening of the water works. on July 4.
1901. and while there is a good deal of
rivalry between the two hose companies,
they worked together in the effort to dis
tinguish the flames.
An attempt was made on Thursday
night to steal two fine horses from the
stable of Hon. NJ L. Walton of Wood
stock The thieves were discovered. by
one of Mr.. Walton's little girls, but
made their escape without being identi-
fed.

Rinn1 Buyers in Virsinin.

There seems to be an impression IN some
quarters that as result of the agree
ment, the American and British companies
will cease to be competitors Tor the "a"
leaf on the American markets, and par
ticularly on the Virginia and Carolina
markets, where both have buyers in every
town of sufficient Importance. Inere is
the very best authority for the statement
that this impression is wholly erroneous.
The two companies will bid against each
other for leaf tobacco with as much spirit
as though each were trying to corner the
worlds supply of leaf tobacco. The Inn
perial buyers in this country must supply
the ten or twelve great British Hanufac-
turers embraced in the combination with
the quantity and quality OF lear with
which to supply their great trade in man
ufactured tobacc The American and
Continental companies must likewise buy
stock with which to supply their enormous
factories all over the country, and the
great demand for their products. Then
all the foreign nations that buy American
leaf tobacco will, through the dealers from
whom they buy, be competitors for the
grades Of tobaccos they need. Both the
American and Imperial companies have
many large factories employing thousands
of operatives and their trade requires the
services of all these to supply the demand
for their products. They must get this
leaf on the open markets, and as the I'M
peral and the independent factors must
likewise secure their leaf, there will be
ample competition to insure good prices to
the grower.
Against Each Other.
American and Imperial representatives
will bid against each other with as much
spirit as though it We're war to the knife
and knife to the hilt for their manufacture
ed products Those dealers from whom
the companies comprised in the Imperial
formerly bought American leaf tobacco
are in most cases left without an occupa-
ton, but they have been superseded by the
agents Of the company on the various
markets.
The stiff maintenance Of prices for leaf,
in which there has been no noteworthy
change since the Anglo-American agree
ment, promises to be maintained, and far
from a decline in prices there is an up
ward tendency. Thus only the middle men
are the sufferers. and those from whom
they formerly rented storage and re-
handling factories. There is no occasion
| for the farmers to feel any dependency
! or apprehension to the immediate fu-
tUre. Already on our own market the
buyers of the Imperial and Continental
companies are in daily competition, and
on the Carolina markets and the bright
markets of Virginia the American is buy
ing heavily in open competition with the
Imperial. Not in recent years have Inc
farmers received better prices for their
tObaccOS,
