Illusion Cruelty DispeIIed by a
lettering Old Man.
Had Travelled Far to Secure
a Second Husband.
Claimed to Have Money Galore
and Fast Horses.

st. Louis, Oct. 5.-Believing that she
had secured through a matrimonial
agency a sturdy, reliant, vigorous help
mate, with fortune of $4,000 and a
stable full of fast race horses, Mrs.
eyed to upper Alton to have her illu-
sion cruelty dispelled by the appearance
of Richard Lowe, feeble, tottering old
man, weighted down with four score
years, who greeted her at the station.
Despite the havoc of his venerable
years, the old mans heart was warm
with love and he clasped his buxom
bride toll be to his breast before she
could recover from her first surprise.
With kiss and a hug, the old man as
sured his blushing bride that love and
wealth would richly atone for the dis
parity in age, and prevailed upon her to
accompany him to his home. There
they remained few days, visit to
the court house was made, marriage
license taken out and the wedding day
set.
But things around the Lowe home did
not bear out the story of wealth, and,
after scout around the premises, Mrs.
Martin failed to discover any signs of
the dozen race horses the old man had
told her he owned, nor could she find any
evidence of the $4,000 fortune she was
to share. She grew suspicious and de-
cided to investigate. Over the back
fence she talked with the neighbors and
then she learned that the prospective
bridegroom possessed of this worlds
goods less than she did herself. And all
she had was her fathers pension to
keep the wolf from the door. Then she
grew indignant.
"Where's them $4,000 and race
horses?" she asked the trembling old
Lothario.
give got one old man on my hands
now," snapped the irate intended bride,
referring to her aged father, "and l
don't care to take on another now, par
ticularly dead one," she is reported to
have told her prospective spouse.
Then the old man rose in the dignity
of his years and told her it was all
'iolly" and that he took out the license
just to confound his friends, who had
said he could not find wife.
So the wedding has been declared off
and Mrs. Martin says she ''just hates
matrimonial bureaus" and she
threatens to sue for the amount of car
fare which she and her father, who ac
companied her on the fruitless trip,
spent in coming from Jackson to upper
Alton.

1t is expected that the football game
that will come off at Sibley park Sat
urday afternoon, between the high

big crowd will be there to see this

POTATOES ARE PLENTIFUL.
They Are Coming on the Mankato
Market in Large Quantities.

They Are Coming on the Mankato
Market in Large Quantities.
Potatoes are coming in in large guam
titles from all the surrounding country
and are finding ready sale at twenty
five to thirty cents. There is said to be
very little buying for shipment, as there
is an abundance of potatoes in most
places. The grocerymen do not expect
that the price will go over thirty cents,
and think that it will stay about TWEEN
ty-fve cents. The quality is better than
it was last year, although many of the
tubers are pitted. There is said to be
a tendency in some places to rot in the
ground.
1t is fortunate that potatoes are
cheap, for everything else is high, and
it would be hard for some families to
get through the winter without suffer
ing if potatoes were as high as every
thing else.
