RECONCILIATION.

A dispatch from Amherst, Va, to the
Richmond Times Dispatch says; "Ern-
est Chappele is once again among the
hgppiest of men. He is back in Am
herst with his wife of ten days with him
again. A reconciliation was effected
between them Yesterday afternoon aud
about half past seven, he left the home
of Mr.. Richeson, the father of the bride,
for Amherst. Chappelle and bride have
lust driven into town. As they drove
through town, cheers greeted them.
When asked if he had any statement to
make, he said that she had come back
to him on her own free will never to
leave him any more, and that she would
tell the rest. The bride said that she
wanted to 90 home and her husband was
afraid for her TO go because he was afraid
that her parents would not let her come
back any more. This was the reason
she had gone home. She had never had
anv intention of deserving him. The
bride would not say anything about why
she had married Chappelle.
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Chappelle called up his wife over the
phone. Mrs. Chappelle's mother an
swered the phone, but wh"n told that
Mr.. Chappelle wished to speak to her
daughter, she called Mrs. Chappelle TO
the phone. The result of the CONVERSE
ton was that Mr. Chappelle quickly got
his buggy and left for Mr.. Rcheson's.
Mr.. Richeson denied that his daugh-
ter had ever deserted her husband.
When askee to explain why she went
home. he said that she was anxious to
90 home on a visit, and that her hus-
band continually postponed carrying her,
and as she was very anxious to see her
people, she decided that she would 60
away. She simply wanted TO 90 home,
and went. She had no intention OF de-
sorting her husband.
Mr. Richeson is very indignant that
the story should have been circulated that
his daughter had deserted her husband
on account of the visit to the village OF
Young man who had formerly paid her
attention. When asked if what he had
to say about his daughter having mar
ried Chappelle against her wishes, Mr..
Richeson denied having made such state
ment. But further than this would rot

Hunting Muslxrnts at Might.

There are three ways by which musk
rats are captured by shooting, by trap
ping and 10y spearing. A few may be
secured at night by creeping as noise
lessly as possible along the geek edges
and watching for them to crawl up on
the bank to feed. In this they are very
dainty. Having secured favorite
root, they approach cautiously the wa
ter's edge and dip it in and rub off the
mud, dip ii in again and again until 1t

Anniversary of Bull Run.

Today is the 44th anniversary OF the
first battle of Bull Run, on which oc-
casion the federal army under General
Mcdowell was routed and driven back
IN The defenses of Washington. The
battle occurred about three months from
the beginning of hostilities between the
North and the South, and caused the
greatest CONSERVATION north OF the Poto-
mac river. o
In response to the cry of "On to

ON the morning of Sunday, July Il, and
continued until evening. In the inter

bling Of the troops the Confederates had
been reinforced by the command OF Gen.

The day after the rout Alexandria
WAS crowded with strsgglers, some OF
whom made their way across the Poto-
mac after having discarded their arms
Most Of the refugees were hungry and
worn out, and in many instances the
people of this city opened their doors and
furnished the temporary aid needed.
The government had made no prepare
ton to feed the men, and some of them
were in sorry condition. Chilly and
rainy weather prevailed several days
after the battle which added to the dis
comfort of the soldiers.
The battle while it ragged caused con-
siderable anxiety in Alexandra, as there
was no way in which to forecast the re-
suit. The roar of the conflict could be
distinctly heard here, the southwest
wind conveying the sound Of the can
inonading, which was suggestive oil an
approaching thunder storm.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Nov. 29.-Arher Takatlien,
fullblooded Armenian, whose wife is
at present a student in the college of
Iowa, is now languishing behind the
bars of the county Jail and his wife
is reported to have become radical
member Of the women's suffrage
movement, all because the benevolent
Armenian desired to exercise his orien-
tai right to beat his wife in America.
This marks the ending of one of the
most unique stories that has cropped
out at any of the local justice courts
his wife and two children left Bulgaria
several years ago on account of polit-
ical difficulties, and came to America.
Shortly after arriving in New York the
man was attacked with rheumatism in
his fingers, and being a dentist was I'M
able to work. Between them they had
several hundred dollars, enough to keep
them several years in Armenia, but
hardly enough to supply their wants
in the United States. Unacquainted
with the conditions here, they determ-
ined that the wife should study dem
tistry at the State University of Iowa
and that the husband should do such
work as he could to support her. They
arrived here safely this fall but the
money at their disposal began to dis
appear rapidly For a month past they
have been assisted by benevolent asso-
Citations. When the women at the head
of these institutions learned that the
Armenian had habit Of beating his
wife they encouraged her to resent it,
though before she came to America it
was considered the natural thing. AS
a result Amer Takatlien now finds
himself in the county Jail, where he will
have ample opportunity to ponder on
the strange ways Of Americans.
