every one had forgotten him
BENJAMIN +. Steere of Chepaohet who
lives on the Mapleville road, was the
possessor Of fine black horse and demo-
crat and had recently purchased new
harness. This fact had evidently been OBJ
served by the stranger who visited Maple
VILE. for when Mr.. Steere went out 10 his
barn this morning he found that his horse.
democrat wagon and new harness had
disappeared.
The road that passes through Chepach-
et Is quite sandy. Last night drizzling
rain fell and as this made the sandy
roadbed pretty muddy. il did not take Mr..
Steere long TO trace the direction In which
his wagon had gone.
The tracks Of the horse were followed
sor three miles over the muddy road, and
were found finally to stop In front OF the
Mapleville postoffice.

raised in threatening attitude. one note
reads:

says:
'If you value your life. move in two

He was called to the office, and when asked if his name was Mike Smith said that it was. and received the goods. Manager Jack of the shoe department was then call cd, and stated substantially the same as Williams.
 Nantes was then place on the stand, and explained that he had said that his name was Smith, and had signed the ticket, but that he thought he was justified in doing so because Smith owed him money and had au- thoriZed him to go to the store and purchase goods to the amount of $11.
 Mike Smith was then placed on the stand, and corfoborated Nantes, about the money, but got badly mixed when he came to explain why it was that he had told Williams that he never gave any one permission to draw on his account.

HUSBAND GIVES UP
 | WIFE TO ANOTHER MAN
Nebraska Editor Tries for Year to Make HeIpmate Fall in
 Love With Him.

BARTLETT, Neb., Oct9.-Alfred B. Wolf. of this place, tried for twelve tried for twelve months to make his wife fall in love with him. and, fail ing, gave her up to become the wife of another man. The second marri- age was celebrated few days ago and Mrs. Wolf became the wife of Henry c. Bullock, of Newark, Wayne county, N. Y.
 Thus, by sacrificing his own iove, giving up the woman with whom he has always been infatuated, did Mir. Wolf do his part in one of the most remarkable matrimonial bargains. A year ago Mrs. Wolf confessed frankly to her husband that she had fallen in love with another man; that never before had she known what the word
 love meant, and that she must leave the good home which Mir Wolf had made for her and sain Mr. Bullock in New York, where she had met him while on visit to her old home.
 Shocked beyond expression, for Wolf is respected business man. has been the editor of good weekly newspaper and has served as post master in Iowa, he calmly called on his wife, where she had gone pre- vious to going to New York, and pro posed a divorce by contract" if after one year, she did not learn to love him.
 If. after twelve months, you still love the other man." he said, T will secure the divorce. I will spare you any humiliation in the matter I will even go before the court and recommend that you be given the GUS tody of our child. l. will be hard for me to do, but if you do not love me and forget the other man in a year, will give you your freedom, and as soon as possible for the child to go to scohol will pay for her education"
 Then the remarkable courtship be- gan. There was long evenings spent at home: there were carriage rides and trips to Omaha and Lincoln Neighbors reported that he was Ithe most remarkable and loyal husband in the town of Bartlett, and all the time bis heart was breaking, and he was taking care of his business.
 But the year slipped by. Mrs. Wolf declared she still loved the other man, and few weeks ago Wolf secured the divorce and bid her goodbye forever, as if he were parting with school girl friend.

BRYAN WILL INVADE COLORADO FOR ADAMS Proposes to Stump State For Man Who Was Elected,
 Then Unseated.

HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 9.-Readers of current political news may look with confidence in the direction of Colorado as the early source or some thing of unusual interest MT. Bryan has accepted an invitation to enter the complicated fight in that state, whither he will proceed immediately upon closing his tour of Missouri and Illinois next week.
 After speaking in Judge Rainey' $ district, up Jacksonville way, he will go down into the Egyptian part of Illin' ois for day, then to Chicago, where, after conferences and perhaps a speech or two, he will go to Denver.
 It IS possible that MT. Bryan has been advised to take no part in the Colorado campaign; but such advice even if it were given, would have nc dsterring effect Mir. Bryan is set upon a plan of attacking certain form of political management wherever he finds it. The fact that there is no na ,ionaI issue in the Colorado situation as ther, was in Illinois, has no bearing on the a1 stion as MT. Bryan sees Il in pur. | r his policy. He says that where idates for office have to dc with u sscuring or owning of public utility 2rehises he will oppose them if he IL to cross the continent tc do it.
 He M 20 to Denver from Chicago for the purpose of supporting Alvs Adams ia h,s fight against men whose Democracy does not appeal 10 hini The fact that these men are regular as they seemingly are, does not stane in the way of the campaign that MI Bryan proposes. Already the poiln clans and even the people of OoIo rado interested in the Bryan atntaoe and when he gets there to enter th' fight he will be the center Of a sto1n such as Colorado, itself the center o political storms, has not known 10 years.
