Gently ran across a booklet con
tanning a history Of Mr.. Matthew
II. Peters, of Watseka, H., who
is brother of our valued citizen
Samuel Peters.
In perusing this interesting lit
tie booklet we are reminded of
Gus Williams recitation: "a
Picture No Artist Can Paint. E."
That ''Truth is stranger than
fiction is depicted in the lives
Of Matthew and Samuel Peters,
whose parents died when THEN
boys were but ten and eight years
old, respectively, and were not
even permitted to attend the bur
ial of their loved ones, as they
died of yellow fever. So, orph-
aned and alone in Il great city
(New Orleans). Matthew took his
brother Samuel by the hand, and
together they sought food in the
alleys from the refuse of barrels
and buckets to satisfy their hun
ger. Finally a policeman took
them to an orphanage, where they
remained until bound out to those
who sought unfortunate waits for
servants. It fell to Matthew 5
lot to be taken by a poverty
stricken German tailor, who sub
jected him to the most inhuman
treatment. He did not submit to
the tailor's tyranny very long, but
took French leave at the first OPP
portunity. While lettering about
the levee he noticed a passing
dray which was followed by a
man. This man proved to be an
angel in disguise, who asked Mat
thew to keep leye on the things
which had b n unIoaded from
the dray while 1e went up town
on q mission.
Now comes the turning point in
Matthews career, which we must
necessarily condense for want of
space. After the return of this
benefactor he questioned Mat
thew concerning his parents, etc.
Being convinced that the boy told
the truth concerning his unhappy
lot, this stranger invited Matthew
to share his home, which WAS To-
Gated near Cincinnati, Ohio.
Thus the two brothers became
separated and lost to each other
until some years after the civil
war, where Matthew fought on
the Northern side while his broth
er Samuel fought for the Lost
Cause.
In 1869 Matthew read in a Chi
cago newspaper the name OF <.
Heistand, acknowledgements Of
Louisiana, to whom he wrote ask
ing him if it was possible to find
the records of the orphanage that
would tell him Of his long-lost
brother Samuel. The asylum had
long since closed its doors, but
the books of record had been pre-
served. A prompt response from
the lieutenant-governor to Mat
thew's letter informed him that
his brother Samuel had been given
to Louisiana planter at Opelou-
sas soon after Matthew had left
New Orleans. A letter to Samuel
soon brought d response, and the
long separated brothers were again
united. Matthew has held a num-
bero Offices Of trust and honor in
Watseka, ILL.,, serving two terms
as Mayor of that city, while our
Samuel is a model citizen of his
home town, Opelousas, who is as
fhonest as the day is long.

terday afternoon on Poydras and

Sheriff Swords of Opelousas, who
has a charge of bigamy against
him. As for Poston, he refuses
to discuss his case, saying he has
engaged = lawyer, who advised
him to grant no interviews on the
matter.
The Picayune of the 10th inst.
says: George W. Poston, who was
arrested here on the telegram of
the Sheriff Of Opelousas, who
wanted him for bigamy, was re-
leased from custody. The Sheriff
said last evening that the man
was not wanted. Of course, the
police here are not feeling pleas
ant for being put to so much work
to get Poston, and very probably
the Sheriff will have to give double
assurance that he wants a man be-
fore the bluecoats will make the
arrest asked for.
