REAL LIFE ROMANCE.
This, on the Stage, Would Be Classed
as M slodrama.
Only shows, However, That Truth Al
why's Is Stranger Than Fiction
The story of Poor Hans
keSsner's wooinE

Considering the lovemaking and TO
manticism of real life, there is no such
thing as melodrama on the stage. Few
tank scenes, with real water, in the
ensemble, could be staged with the
realism that is chronicled almost every
day In the news reports of the country.
The galleries, even, would protest
against the fairy story" element that
is in them
Imagine the love affair of Hans Kess-
ner and Miss Dora Hanson put upon
the stage as an example of the legit-
innate.
Two years ago Kessner was a farm
hand, working near Plattsmouth, Neb.
The Hanson family were neighbors of
kessner's employers, and Dora Han
son, favorite daughter, was the belle
Of the neighborhood. A dozen young
men of the place had sought to marry
her, but she had refused them all. Ger
tainly when Hash Kessner CHANGED to
meet her while assisting with the
Hanson harvest he had no hope of
winning her affections. Perhaps it was
his utter forgetfulness Of himself that
first drew her to him. At any rate,
woman cannot smile upon any man
as Miss Hanson began to smile upon
the simple-hearted Hans without
awakening hopes.
Suddenly the whole neighborhood
was thunderstruck with the announce
ment of the engagement of Dora Han
son and Hans Kessner. The announce
ment was double humiliation to the
young men who had been refused. No
one knows where it began, but in
few days plot was Matched against
the match. An idle vagabond in the
neighboring village was drawn into it,
and for the promise Of 500 in case he

prevented the wedding he agreed to
stop it at any cost.
This was two years ago. When the
day Of the wedding arrived this tool
of the plotters posted himself near the
Hanson barn, near which Kessner
would have TO pass, and as the bride
groom came up the man stepped out,
accused Kessner of owing him 5000.
and threatened to expose him to the
Hansons if it was not paid on the
spot.
Kessner denied the charge strenuous
ly, but the accuser became more and
more impudent, until finally, angered
beyond measure, Kessner seized an old
pick handle and struck the fellow over
the head. The man dropped in his
tracks as II shot. For an instant Kess-
ner bent over him, and, seeing no sign
Of life in the man, he turned and fed
into the gathering dusk.
Confederates of the man were near.
and they took up the sense'ess body.
carrying il into the house, where the
prospective bride waited. They told
her that Kessner, drunk and brutal. had
assaulted friend and, leaving him for
dead, had escaped. The man was
nurSed back to consciousness, and In a
day or two was himself again. He
Joined In the scandalous stories that
were circulated everywhere, and finally
nearly everybody had forgotten him,
save the girl, who remained true.
Two weeks ago Hans Kessner, hand
some, well dressed and prosperous. an
peared at the Hanson homestead. In
momont Dora Hanson was in his
arms. Loyal, always, she could take
the explanation for granted. These
explanations were so much stronger
than fiction that their truth was on the
face Of them.
Kessner, believing that he had killed
a man, had fed to Germany. He went
to Hamburg and engaged in business,
prospered and about the 1st of Jan
nary, when he received a letter from
an old friend in Missouri, he was worth
more than 100000. This letter. in
answer to one that Eessner had writ
ten, explained that the supposed vic
tim was only stunned, that he had re-
covered fully, and that the whole story
of the deep plot was out. Kessner pre-
pared at once to sail for America, and
his arrival at the Hanson homestead
was the climax Of the romance. The
wedding was peri ormed In the Hanson
parlcr by the same minister who had
ben summoned two years before, and

asement, or to BE Used to Restrain
Competition.
St Paul. May 6.-"An enterprise OF
q great interstate and international
commerce" is the declaration of the
Northern Securities Company given in
the answer, filed by the attorneys for
that corporation. in the suit brought
by Attorney General P. C. Knox on
behalf OF the United States, to enjoin
the so-called merger of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern Railways.
This answer was fled late yesterday
afternoon in the United States circuit
court in this city, 'and at the same
time individual answers were also fled
by the various railroad magnates. in.
GLIDING James ]. Hill and ]. Pierpont
Morgan. These various papers follow
the same lines.
The answer OF the Northern Securi
ties Company Is divided into two parts.
The hrst is largely a denial OF the pc.
tition, respecting many charges OF
conspiracy, and respecting the pur.
poses OF the organization OF the Secur.
tiles Company. Instead of owning a
majority of the shares OF the Great
Northern or OF the Northern Pacific
Company. Ii is stated that those who
are interestind In the organization OF
the Securities Company do not own
within $26.o0000O OF a majority Of the
Great Northern shares, and little more
than rt ~
cific shares.
In the second part OF the answer,
the purchase of the Chicago. Burling.
ton and Quincy Railway Company is
taken up. the reasons for such pur.
chase having been, 1t is alleged. "er.
Soneously stated in the petition" Il
Is denied specifically and generally
that any stock thus secured is to be

pmpanies: or for any other purpose

benefit OF their shareholders and OF

. Fhe answer declares: THE anti
Htrust act was not intended to prevent

such enterprise may carry with IL the
possibility OF incidental restraint upon

Otherwise construed. the act would
be unconstitutional. because: The

does not give congress the power 10

created by the states; and, because:

taken TO punish those guilty OF them.
Such things. however. were incidents
OF every war. and could not be pre-.
vented absolutely. He had no defense
TO make OF many of the cases of tor.

provoked almost beyond human endur.
