TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. II, 1906

When Pm weary, very weary of the tire

With their pntrid social scandals and their
nauseating beats,

conf AIDES smile and sneer
As they see me scan the lten' VI III -"s' " ~
near and dear.
The above, slightly altered, is one OF
the stanzas of a poem now going the
rounds. and it will strike a responsive
chord in souls which have grown weary
of looking at handful headlines over
unimportant and equally uninteresting
items. or at the sensational descriptions
Of the mistakes and failures Of fallible
men and women so glaringly portrayed
In the papers of the larger cities. The
morbid taste of large percentage OF the
admirers of such papers is ever thirsting
for more of such matter, and in endeavors
to make the supply equal to the demand
the proprietors of metropolitan journals
are severely taxed. There are times when
the sober and conservative tire OF such
food and sigh for the actual news In
condensed form, as we'll as facts-not
speculations. The home paper meets
this want. and With its resume OF the
happenings throughout the world, con-
,ains all the local news, an important
desideratum. Being part and parcel oil
the community, its bears its sorrows and
reioices when it reioices. During our
visits TO other cities and climes the sight
of home pepper is as the meeting with
an old friend. lis modest headlines are
familiar faces, animsting us with thoughts
of home. Those who tread the sequest-
cred vale of life, whose sober Thoughts
meier lead them to stray, are always
more interested in the paper of their own
city than in those printed in other
places, and especially so after having
seanped columns in other journals 10
which they have no interest. 1t Is a rest
for the mind to read of things going on
around us, and of people we know and
among whom we move. The old-iash'
toned circus with its single ring was far
more enjoyable than those of the present
day when patron, with one pair OF
eyes, attempts TO watch the performances
10 three, and naturally fails to enjoy
either. The modern journal is equally
oyerdone, and in attempting to grasp all
that is set forth in a mass of matter, a
large percentage of which is in'lPld
to many, the reader fails to feed his mind
ga satisfactorily as he coald were less
extensive literary bill of fare presented.

Married an tmpOster.

Doubly deceived was u young woman
who married in New York on August Z
a man describing himself as William
.Judson Lawson. Not only did he de-
sert her three days after marriage, but
he falsely represented to her that he was
the son of Thomas w. Lawson, the Bos-
ton banker Mr.. Lawson has only one
grown son-Arnold LawsoD-aud there
is no question Of possibility that he can
be the man tangled up in this case.
Before her marriage the name OF the
Young woman was Alice Bandos Dou-
auin. She is the daughter OF a ranch
man living at Kirbyville, Mont. For
the pact year aud half she has lived IN
New York with old friends of her family.
According to the story, she met the
man, who is 81 years old, late in July.
He proposed to her after few days, and
they were married two weeks after their
FIRST meeting. The wedding ceremony
was performed at Providence, K. L. The
Young couple went to New York and
lived at the home of the girls friends.
Lawson told his wife that he would
90 to Boston and break the news of the
marriage to his father in few days. He
left her on August 10 ostensibly 70 go to
Boston. A few days later she got let
ter from him, posted in New York, in
which he said that his father had threat
ened to disinherit him on account OF the
marriage. She neither saw nor heard
from bin again until Sunday, when he
called to see her. He said he loved her,
but his father had persuaded him TO give
her up.
The Young woman says she fears be

minds of the people of his city are at
fever pitch over the atrocious assault by
negro upon Mrs Beatrice Frsnkish and
her daughter, Gussie LAech, on lonely

caution is being taken by the police to
prevent repetition Of the White lynch

high throughout the city last night, that
the entire police force was on duty, aud
another negro, Robert Lee, was taken

scent aud protect Russell. Last night
at Prices Corners, half . mile from The

testant Episcopal Church and estsb-

Miss Grey is a handsome young woman,

Plot to Assassinate Emperor william.

Breslau, Sept. ia plot to assas-
sinate Kaiser William during the present
army maneuvers In this region has just
been frustrated through the activity of
the secret police. Three anarchists in.
yolyed in the conspiracy against the
monarch are now under arrest. The
prisoners are an Italian anarchist named
Matacci, Pole by the name of Land
enberger, and Czech anarchist, Flieg-
uer Documents found in the possession
of the prisoners show eonclusiyely that
they are associated with the inner circle
of the international organization of
anarchists and that the Kaiser's death
was plotted by this organization. All
plans for the attack on the Kaiser had
been carefully arranged and the plot
was discovered just 10 the nick of time,
as the conspirators we're only waiting an
opportunity to get near the Emperor
while he is attending the maneuyers.
Today might have given this opportunity
and it is believed the Kaiser had mar.
row escape from death.
