Manuscript IS MISSING.
Book Written by the Escaped Nun"
Can Not be Found.

Columbus. O., March 27.-The death
Of Margaret Shepherd, escaped nun,
at Harper hospital, in Detroit, on March
8, has partially cleared up the mystery
of her early career and of her identity.
1t has just developed that from time
to time during the past Il years Mar
garet Shepherd had been resident of
this city To one woman she confessed
that she came to America with an at
tache Of a foreign embassy, and she
said that her father was an Irish Hus-
sar.
Five or six years ago she boarded
with a prominent Neil avenue family.
At that time she professed to be writ
ing a book, which was to be given to
the world after her death What has
become of that manuscript is not
known here. She advised her closest
friends that this book would be a reve-
lation- 1t was to give the true story OF
her life.
AS is well known Margaret Shepherd
had been travelling about the country
for some years lecturing, as. an escaped
nun, against the Catholic church. She
aroused much opposition among Cath
olics
She has been known by the names of
Miss Douglas, Georginia Parkyn, Mrs
Westley, Miss Isabella Herbert. Miss
Probyn, Louisa Egerton. Margaret Her
bert. Mrs. Herbert, Mrs. Riordan and
Margaret L. Shepherd. That her true
name was none of these she acknowl-
edged. In the early eighties, prior to
coming to this country. she was ar
rested in England for forging the name
of Lord Douglas to a check
It has been proved that she never
was a nun in the Bristol convent. To
the contrary her own letters show that
she was held IN the Roman Catholic
reformatory at Bristol as an incorri-
gible.
According to the best information Sc
durable here Mrs. Shepherds husband,
Shepherd, is now living in Boston. After
her marriage to Shepherd at Charlotte
town, P. E. l., April 4, 1886, v. NJ. Rior-
dan, an alleged ex-priest. appeared on
the scene. and she said she had mar
ried him early in her career. In Chi
cago Mrs. Shepherd introduced Riordan
as her husband while Shepherd was in

Druggist Yields to the Pressing Talk
of the CRATER.

South McAIester, I. T., Sept. 16--The
latest among the gratis" in the Indian
territory is that of the individual who
claims to be a revenue collector. The
fellows methods are as follows:
He enters the presence of the unsus-
pecting druggist very briskly. inquiries if
the drug man has met Marshal Bennett
and his travelling court. In most cases
the drug man has-just once. MIR. Irwin,
as he calls himself, then proceeds to tell
the drug man that Marshal Bennett and
his travelling court was only the side
show: that he is the big circus; in fact,
that he is travelling firebrand from Mus
kogee. and any person refusing to do
business with him was only counting a
iife-size case Of nightmare. He then pro-
ceeds to ask questions, pull corEs, smell
bottles. etc Even the liniment and chew
ing gum are inspected. One of our drug
men was frank enough 10 admit that he
had some tinctures which contained alco-
hol enough to keep them. Mr.. Irwin told
the drug man that he was guilty Of
violation of the law. and he would have
TO add a slight penalty to the regular tax.
He figured little and told the drug man
it was SIS IS or a trip to Muskogee.
