A WOnAN'S SAD END.
Mrs. II. e. BOwlus, Pronounced Cured
of Insanity, Leaves Train at Kins-
ley and Is Drowned.


, of excitement last Saturday morning
by the report that an insane woman
had escaped from q west-bound train
the night previous and was running
at large in this vicinity. The woman
was Mrs. Lucy Bowlus, wife of 81. E.
Bowlus, of Piercevills, Kas., a small
station on the Santa Fe some miles
east of Garden City. She had been
confined in an insane asylum in To-
peka for some time, but had been pro-
nounced cured by the authorities at
the institution. Her husband went
to Topeka last Thursday and together
they were making the homeward jour-
ney, during which, until near this
place, nothing was said or done by
the woman that would give her hus-
band the impression that she was no
entirely cured of her sad affiictiOn.
When within some distance of Kins-
ley, Mre. Bowlus entered the closet
of the car, re-appearing a few mo-
ments later. AS the train was stop
the closet, and her husband supposed
she would again return as she had
done before. Instead of doing this,
she left the car with the outgoing
passengers, leaving her hat behind,
and wandered away from the train.
The train started and Mr.. BOwlus,
who by this time had discovered that
his wife was not aboard, endeavOred
train, but this the conductor refused
to do. Mr.. Bowlus left the cars al
Offerle and returned to Kinsley early
Saturday morning. o.
Immediately upon his arrival here,
he notified Marshal Alcorn of his
wife's disappearance, and searching
parties were organized to scour the
country for the unfortunate woman.
She had been seen entering the gate
oin front of the Grove Hotel shortly
after midnight, and on Saturday
morning about ii o'clock woman
was noticed upon the Coon creek
No further news of the poor woman
was received until late in the evening.
AT that time. w. F. Pierce, while
looking for his cow in Bidwell's pas
ture, came upon the dead body of the
woman lyi1g on the edge of pool OF
water with the face buried in the mud
and water. Life had been extinct for
several hours. The body was in such
position that it was almost impOs-
sible FOR it to- have been seen from
the road, lying in the midst uf tall
grass. and only by the merest chance
did MIR. Pierce discover it.
Upon makiag the gruesome find
Mr.. Pierce notified the marshal, who
ip tu&n hunted up Mr.. Bowlus, and
together they went to where the body
to Mr.. Mobiles undertaking rooms
and there prepared for burial, and
early sunday morning were shipped
to Pierceville, No. having beer
stopped for that purpose.
A reward of twenty-five dollars haG
been offered by Mr.. Bowlus for in
formation leading to the recovery o
his wife. This reward Mr.. Rowlu.
endeavored to- turn over to Mr.
Pierce, the finder Of the body, but tn,
latter declined to accept.

 These little fires spring up all over the field as if by magic, and in a few minutes there is under way, besides the inevitable coffee, every conceivable dish that the ration could furnish or the pockets of the men and the shops at last nights cantonment supply. If one of the priyates you see chopping up meat, peeling potatoes or grilling a sausage happens to be prince, duke or a commonplace millionaire, you may pc sure that bottle of good wine, pate de fois gras, or whatever else the village furnished, will eke out the cold meat, bread and cheese saved from last nights supper.

at the opera for some time, and eventu' ally it failed, as opera in America has been in the habit of doing, both before and since. Finally, the savings of the Pattis ran short, and living expenses re- quired the sacrifice of treasured belong
 ings. Already the little Adelina's voice had attracted considerable attention and admiration. An opportunity to sing at Niblo's theater came. Young as she was, she appears to have realized the situation, and, hearing her parents anxious consul tations, and knowing the desperate crisis their affairs were in, begged to appear, that she might be allowed to help things along at home. There seemed to be no other way out of the serious dilemma, so her concert debut was made in New York, where eleven years later, she was to sing for the first time in grand opera. There was but one stipulation that she made on this debut occasion, and that was that she be decked out like real" prima dona, with veritable coiffure and dash of powder over the red in her cheeks. "Ah, non giunge," from La Sonnam- bula," and Una Voce" from I'll Bar biere di Seviglia," were the things she sung that evening, and the result settled her career for some time to come. It was decided to make q concert tour with her and months of travel followed, doubt less wearying enough, for facilities for To- comotion were not then what she later found them to be as a diva in her own private car. '1f the journey was at night" she said to me, my father would turn over a seat, bundle me up in shawl, and would go off to sleep. Some times we would arrive at our destination late at night and no supper was to be had. Then I would eat my bread and cheese with glass of water and feel quite con tent if they would let me have my doll"

The Rest Cure at Home.

From the Family Doctor.
 We hear a good deal of the rest cure" as practiced at various institu- tions, such, for example, as nursing homes and private hospitals, and many impracticable people have asked, Why not try the cure at home? Try it at home, when one of the express con ditions of success is that the patient must banish from her mind every worrying thought The mere bodily conditions might be unchanged-to to stay in bed for fortnight or three weeks, to neither write nor receive letters or telegrams, to read only light literature of a cheerful and not excit- ing kind, to take simple but nutritious food including as much as possible q milk diet. If the patient awake early, let her take a glass of milk, another with her breakfast, another at noon, and again the last thing at night; no wine or spirits. When she feels she can come back to the world with strength and nerves restored after two or three weeks in bed, she must not do so suddenly. Instead, she must get up for short time each day and only return to her usual duties by degrees. We quite believe that there are many among our readers who need this simple "rest cure" more than all the drugs and prescriptions the cleyerest doctor could write.

$12,ooo,ooo of Dead Hopes.
,e New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 The Richmond Times-D Dispatch mentions that at d recent meeting of the stock holders of some financial body in Europe if had been reported that the association was the holder of s12,5OO'OO0 of Confeder- ate States bonds, still unpaid.
 These bonds, by express terms, were made payable two years after the ratify cation of a treaty of peace between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America. This saving clause nreyents the bonds from coming due even if there were anybody to pay them. and there is not.
 Confederate bonds and notes have no other value than what may be given to them bv the demand for them as curios- flies This is not large. The Times-Dis- hatch states that after the war many bundles of dim orange colored paper on which the Confederates were wont to print their fifty-cent notes were acquired by the Renublic and Examiner newspapers. This naner was furnished by them to their ed- itors and reporters to use in supplying "conv" to the printers. One of the nresses that had printed this Confederate money was also used by the newspapers aforesaid. In the end it was sold by MT. Pollard to Riordan & Dawson. who were then printing a newspaper in Charleston, and of which paper the present News and Courier of that city is the successor.
 Many young women, daughters of the host families of the south, were employed to sign the notes for the Confederate treasurer and register. Notes were issued hoth in Richmond, Va. and in Columbia, s. c.

Learning New Feats.

When we went out to drill this after noon the boys were so overjoyed at the prospect of going to Birmingham that they attempted to do many new feats of skill and daring that seemed almost inn possible and so during the exercises Cor poral Dunley, Trumpeter Henselman and Private Fahey were thrown from their horses. They are three of the most fear less and daring cavalrymen in the ser vice; they are in the horseback squad and if they had been injured their ser vices would have been gre atly missed

She must have grown several inches since last here, and in her figure takes after her royal mother. Queen Christina gave a trial during her last haltPt to the Hotel Bristol, which is less public at the en- trance than Meurice's. She is constitu- tionally shy, and shunsf publicity and staring crowds.
 Senor Palomino is of the party He is now officially master of the household The Spanish papers stated when Christina visited Austria soon after the king came of age that she went there to marry Senor Palomino. The news met with a denial It would have been quite need less were marriage thought of. to go all the way to Vienna to have it cele- brated. The Chapel Royal at Madrid where another Queen Christina married Senor Munoz, would have been the most convenient place. Queen Christina and the infanta went in a motor car to Mour- soult, on the Chantilly side of the For est of Montmorency, to lunch with Queen Isabella, who has hired a chateau there for her villegiature.
 Isabella has never recovered from the depressing effect of the Spanish-American war and the loss of Cuba, and must avoid making long Journeys! She has had to give up her annual visit to Munich and her "seasons" at Schwalbach. Schlangen- bad, and Brides, in Savoy. Time seemed to, have dealt kindly with her up to the conclusion of the peace with the Uni- ted States. She then suddenly appeared more than her age, and lost her lively spirits. She used to enjoy inhaling the smoke of Havana cigars. They are now too dear for her gentlemen to consume them, and she dislikes the smell of those they have to use.
 The King of Greece and Queen Chris tina came and went In the course of the last week As president cabinet, des- patch writer of the foreign office, and M. Delcasse's official private secretary had all left town, his Hellenic majesty saw this time nobody of political im- portance. It appears that. under the cir cumstances. he thought this unfortunate. He feels the time to be critical and pre- fers the Turks to Bulgarian Macedonians, under whom Greeks could not possibly live" They can live under Turks, who are nice gentlemanly fellows in quiet times, and easy to govern when under Christian sway. King George says that he has no better subjects than the rus tic and other Turks who have come un- der his sceptre. He regards Bulgarian Macedonians and Servians as six of one and half dozen of the other.

 Opinion Of Expert.
 All this is expert opinion, for Major Evans is himself trained soldier, and is the remarkably successful president of the Chattanooga Spring Festival associa- ton, the best organization of it's kind in the south.
 Major Evans has had distinguished career for so young a man, for he is still well on the sunny side of middle age. He was born in Wisconsin, and after being graduated from his state university, he studied law and came south, taking up his residence in Chattanooga.
 Successful Career.
 From the outset Major Evans was suc- cessful at the bar, and was thrice elected city attorney of Chattanooga. He was given the nomination for judge of the Fourth Judicial circuit of Tennessee, but his party being in the minority he was defeated, though shortly afterward he was elected county attorney of Hamilton county. He also served a term of com missioner of registration, by appointment of the governor.
 He resigned the county attorneyship to enter the army In the war with Spain, President Mckinley commissioning him g captain in the Sixth United States volun teer infantry, better known as the sixth immunes' He went with his regiment to Porto Rico, and was there raised to the rank of major. He was for time judge advocate of the general court-martiai. and also served as one of the military judges of the province of Arecibo.
 When his regiment was mustered out in Savannah, in 1899, Major Evans re- turned to Chattanooga, and resumed the practice of law In that year he was honored with the appointment of pro- lessor of law in Grant University, and two years later was chosen dean of the law department, high position he still holds. In 1900 he was one of the nominees for elector-at-large on the Mckinley Roosevelt ticket.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-09-27
Has Aided President Krebs.

To Major Evans great energy, ability and tact is largely due the remarkable success of the Chattanooga Spring Fes- tival association, which is now every where recognized as one of the strongest institutions of the "Plucky City" by the Tennesseans, and Birmingham people owe him a large debt for greatly aiding Pres ;dent Krebs in securing the Seventh Cav airy troop for the State Fair. In person. al appearance Major Evans Is strilSingly distinguished, and in bearing most gra- cious.
 There is a well-known Birmingham boy now in Troop c, and his opinion of his highly trained comrades is one of local interest. This soldier is H. A. Thompson, formerly quartermasters sergeant of the Jefferson Volunteers, and later first ser geant of the Brandon Light artillery, of which he was one of the organizers
