REMARRY FORTY YEARS AFTER
Made Second Ventures Into Matri
moniai Field.

MONTVILLE, Me-, July 29-After
living apart for more than 40 years,
William P. Jackson of Montville, and
Mrs. Mary P. MARI of China, were
again married, both declaring that they
had made a mistake in securing a di-
vorce. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. E. Judson Hatch, VINO re-
cited the events of the past lives of
the couple and admonished them to
live in happiness in the future, and not
let the green eyed monster again enter
their home.
Mr.. Jackson was first married to
Mrs. MARI, then a maiden of much
beauty, long before the civil war was
started. They reared a large family of
children, but when the call for volun-
teers was sent from Washington
Jackson forgot his family and was one
of the first men to enlist in the state
of Maine. He served four years, was
wounded several times, and returned
to his home a physical wreck, brought
about by long confinement in rebel
prisons. AS his health was returning
to him Mr.. Jackson and mis- wife had
an estrangement which resulted in di-
vOrce.
Both married as soon as they sepa-
rated and to each came children. Mrs
Jackson died, some time ago and Mrs
aMrrs husband was killed in an ac-
cident about the same time. A few
weeks ago the man and woman met at
Montville, where they had come to
visit the children by their first mar
riage. The latter made overtures to
the parents, their differences Of the

A coroner's jury found that the girl
had committed suicide while temporar-
lily insane.
The verdict was based on the man
ner of the girls self-destruction, which
was caused by setting fire to her
clothing after she had drenched her
self with two gallons of benzine.
1t was stated by intimate friends
of the girl that she had chosen death
rather than give up an Englishman

to whom she was betrothed.

FAT SUM HAS BEEN GRATED BY
FAkIRS WITH BOOK
SCHEME.
Practice That Has Been Carried On
For Past Ten Years at the
National Capitol.

Considerable attention is being paid
to the exposure of blackmail methods
that have been pursued in New York
city for some time by certain notori-
Gus and noXious publications in that
city, and surprise is expressed that
prominent business and social men
should submit to the terms laid down
by such publications, is the report that
comes from Washington city.
And yet that very same method of
blackmail has been practiced in Wash
ington at the beginning Of every con-
gress for the past ten years or more,
and there has been no cutlery from a
single victim or intended victim.
United States senators, rather than
run the risk of being roasted or Shown
up, have gone into their pockets for
anywhere from 500 to $1,000 every
two years. at the dictation of as bold
and villanous scoundrels as ever work.

FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
ALLEGED Detective Released.

A. Page and z. W. ParfOtt, TWO
strangers in this section, were ar
raigned last Wednesday before Judge
Nichols to answer to the charge of
extorting money. 1t is alleged that
they represented themselves to be
detectives and tried to intimidate w.

into giving them money. The men
were both dismissed, the prosecution
failing to show that a threat had
been made which laid the party making

Granite for BUILDING.

Within a few days the steamer
Mountain Gem will make trip to
upper river points for the purpose of
bringing out a shipment of granite
from the quarries of the Idaho Gran
lite company located a few miles above
Wild Goose Rapids. This granite was
used quite extensively for monumental
purposes by a Walla Walla firm of
stone workers few years ago, but
the shipment now to be brought out by
the steamer will be the first used in
general construction work. The gran
lite will be placed in the new addition
to the Lewiston state normal school
building now under course of construc-
tion.-Lewiston Tribune

Body of Steele Is Found.

GRANGEVILLE, July 28.-The body
of Francis Steele, the young man who
was lost in the mountains in May last
while en- raute to Thunder mountain,
where he was to engage in school
teaching and to do assessment work
for the county, has been found in Big

mouth of Ramey creek. The body
was found last Thursday and the body
was brought to Warren Saturday by a

drawned while endeavoring to cross

COURT HOLDS THAT JAcKAss
CAN MAKE ALL THE NOISE
HE PLEASES.
Kansas Postmistress Pleads For Re
lief From Animal That Raises
Its Voice at Night.

mo power on earth can prevent
jackass from braying. This court is
powerless to afford relief in this case
and the injunction is dissolved said
Judge Dana in dismissing suit
brought by the postmistress of Rich
land, Kan, against the owners of
number of jackasses to prevent their
braying.
Tibbetts & Hotz own a livery stable
in Richland and it is the next door
neighbor to the pOstoftiice. The post
mistress resides in the apartments over
the postoffice and she mas been sorely
annoyed during the night by the ran
cous braying of the discontinued jacks
in the livery barn. Whenever she
sought to while away the tedious hours
by singing softly to herself the jacks
would break in and agitate the atmos-
phere with their distracting noise.
At night, when she raised her windows
to get a breath of fresh air, her ears
would be benumbed by the nee-haw of
the jacks.
Appeals to Court for Relief.
She appealed to the owners of the
stable to suppress the animals, but
they politely informed her that to bray
was the chief delight and function of
a jackass and they could not prevent
it, Furthermore the nature of their
business precluded sending the Offend
ing animals away for the night.
Finally she appealed to the court
and secured from the judge in Shaw
nee county a temporary injunction
against Tibbetts & Hotz. Then she
gave final warning to them that the
noise must cease. They Immediately
took the case before Judge Dana and
it was argued. 1t was one of
the most unique hearings in the his
tory of Kansas even, which is the
author and scene of many unique
things.
Plea for the Jackass.
In their reply to the injunction lib
belts & Hotz set up that the courts
and, in fact, all human machinery
stood absolutely powerless to prevent
the braying of a jackass. They cited
instances where various eXpedients
had been tried, such as dynomite, muz-
Zling, solitary confinement, ETC., but
all efforts proved futile. 1t was ably
argued before the court that the Mis-
souri, and Kansas jack or mule was q
unique feature in the eyes of the world
and entitled to consideration. 1t was
shown that pages of comic weeklies
are devoted to this peculiar animal anJ
his prediction for braying and kick
ing. These mad been peculiarities OF
the jackass from the beginning of the
world and would be so to the enc
thereof.
While they regretted that any o1
their property should prove annoying
to the postmistress of Richland, fol
which lady they mad profound esteem
they could not prevent their Jacks nee
having, nor could they cripple Their
own business by disposing of their ami.
mals-"and your petitioners will eve]
pray, etc.
Beyond Human Power.
Judge Dana pondered at some length
over the case and finally announces
that he would dissolve the Injunction
1T is apparent to any student O
animal nature" he said, that the hu
man agencies are helpless to proven
the braying of a jackass. It is his ma
ture and the court can afford no re
lief. Let the order dismissing thi
case be entered
