widows Pursuit of Wealthy Miner Leads
to His Financial Downfall.

Chicago. Dec. t3.--Fohn Novatne, once
q wealthy mine owner, who is in the
municipal lodging house here with but
Is cents IN his pocket, attributes his i'll
fortune to designing widow who has
chased him halfway round the world in
order to marry him.
Noyatne, who is an Austrian, sixty
eight years old saws he came to Amer
lea in 1897 and obtained half interest
in a very rich Arizona mine. Then he
went back to Austria and told all his
friends. 4e story finally reached The
ears Of fascinating widow, who i'm.
mediately made up her mind to marry
Aim
When he proved coy. she settled the
matter By exelaiming;
'1'll marry You, whether you like it
or n0ti"
He fed, but the widow took the trail
and he did not succeed in getting rid
Of her until he landed in America. Then
he learned that the mine had been sold
by his partners to a corporation, and
that he was out in the cold.

The rifle was leaning against the
wall The boy reached out FOR It, and,
leaving the squirrels where he had
dumped them down and without an
other lock at the woman on the bed,
he turned and walked away. He went
out to the rough highway and then
walked down to the rock she had
spoken Of. The people had no name
for II, but II should haze been called
the Rock Of Blood. Four men had
been killed from ambush right there.
In three minutes Danny was hidden in
the thicket on its top and was peering
down the highway. An hour later,
when Bill Huyler strapped his corn
meal on the back OF his mule az the
mill, three miles away. and made
ready to return home, the miller jo-

He was no more excited than as II
beating up the woods for squirrels. He
heard every noise about him in the
forest he saw chipmunks crossing
the road rods away. but there was one
thing he missed A thunderstorm
came creeping up unnoticed by him.
He neither felt nor saw Ii until Bill
Huyler came in sight down the trail
Then he put his rife to his face and
took aim He was waiting for the
rider to reach certain mark when the
darkening sky was lighted by an awful

the failing rain revived them.

Paris, Dec. 1s,--That the rank and

fact that Nj Martinez, editor Of he

under the public meetings law of 1851
for permission to hold religious meet

DISCOVERIES OF IMPORTANCE.
May Learn Of Egypt's Ancient History
by Old Manuscripts.


Berlin, Dec. ia discovery Of great
importance to philology and history has
just been made at Cairo by Carl Schmidt
Geman savant, who is an authority on
Coptic and the early Christian archae-
ology Of Upper Egypt Some Insight
iicant sheets Of parchment, supposed
to be late Coptic manuscripts Of small
value, we're offered to him for sale. He
at. once noticed that the language was
not coptic.
He concluded from the recurrence Of
the word "Uru," which among modern
Nubians means king that the text was
written in Nubian. This was great
discovery, since Nubian, although still
spoken, has long ceased TO be a written
language As soon, therefore, as the
documents can be fully deciphered
pathological science will be richer by
knowledge of the language spoken by
the inhabitants Of Nubia before the in
yasion of the Semitic tribes.
A further consequence is that it will
probably now be possible TO read the in
seriptions on large number of ancient
monuments in Egypt, which heretofore
have been a mystery. These will doubt
less throw light on the history Of the
earliest Nubian races
Herr Schmidt has ascertained that
two of the Nubian fragments are trans
lations OF Christian works The first
consists of collection of extracts from
the New Testament, and the second OF
quaint references to st. Paul. Unfortu-
nately the Greek original of the hymn,
is not known.
The manuscripts date from the eighth
century, A. ID.

THE CITY PRIMARIES

Next Tuesday the voters, at
least those who are qualified, will
be called upon to select their
choice as standard bearer of the
various parties; as all parties are
to vote their choice in their party
affiliation under the new law.
This being the first time that
we will vote under the present
scheme, doubtless there will be
many errors. First, let us say to
the voters, read your instructions
closely. Second, vote for only
one park commissioner on the
West Side and only one on the
East Side. Third, vote for only
one alderman-at large on the
West Side and only one on the
East Side. Fourth, vote for only
one alderman of your ward and
lastly vote for only one name for
each other Office, and only one
set of delegates. If you do not
understand, don't be afraid to
ask some one to enlighten you.
