4 PRETTY ROMANCE
WHERE LOVE IS REWARDED Az.
TER MANY YEARs-LovERs
HAPPILY UNITED.

BY Associated Press.
London. Oct. ga middle.aged
woman visited the cemetery in Birm-
ingham the other day. and was seen
to kneel down, take a white rose
from her breast, and tenderly lay 1t
upon a grave. Inquiries revealed a
romantic story.
The story commenced forty years
ago, when the members OF a well.
known Midlands family were taking
a holiday in the Highlands OF Scot.
land. They made the acquaintance of
a farmers pretty daughter, named
Fraser, and took her home as a do
nestle. At the time she had a High
land lover, but he went TO America.
Miss Fraser remained In Birming.
ham for several years. and made the
acquaintance OF a young city man,
whom she eventually married. After
some years the business they had
started failed. and they went to
P%lttsburg. but again failed. and found
themselves on the verge of poverty.
Their home was sold to pay debts,
and the husband disappeared.
The wife went into service as a
companion and house.keeper to a
Scotch family. One day a distant
relative named Thompson. a wealthy
man. who had carried out successful
contracts in the construction of Cana
dian railroads. visited the house. The
Scotch lady companion was intro
duced to him by her married name.
but she instantly recognized in the
tall. s~un-burnt man her former High
land lover.
When Thompson's visit came to an
end and they we're like lovers again.
Some years had now elapsed since
the disappearance OF the husband
and his whereabouts were unknown.
In this uncertainty a few years more
sped past.
Twelve months g there arrived
in Birmingham n prematurelv aged
man. who was recognized as the mis-
sing husband. He did not i've long
and was buried by his few surviving
relatives. The latter Immediately
communicated with his wife, and she
lost no time In coming to England
with her Highland lover.
The next scene in the drama took
place a few days ago in the London
Registrars office, where the couple
who had waited so long were married.
They have sailed for South America,
but previously made arrangements
to return to a beautiful estate which
Mr.. Thompson, who is now very veal
thy, has purchased in the Highlands.

That robbery was not the purpose

Down With Mature Fakers.
fp,ttsh,,rR Gazette-Time


The harm done by the nature takers
lies in making people afraid Of the
woods. Just as If ghost stories were
put into school books as serious liter
ature, inflaming the young imagina-
ton with horrors until the child would
not enter a dark room, so these AMI
NAL romances, from Little Red Riding
Hood down to various press accounts
Of the Luna Park lion hunt, tend to
scare people away from healthful and
ennobling communion with wild ma
ture. Under every stone the suspect
some cobra is coiled, ready to strike;
in every thicket they see the baleful,
cleaning eyes Of some wolf or wildcat.
Just think how many painters" have
leaped upon the unsuspecting heroes
Of romance, from Fenimore Cooper's
time to James Lane Aliens! The fact
Is that timidity is the prevailing char
acteristic Of the animal kingdom. Even
the fierce bear shows so little fight that
the hunter must pursue him for miles
to get shot at him. If people knew
this they would not be afraid of the
woods or their gentle denizens. They
would go out and be friends with them
and live cleaner, saner lives In conse-
quence. If the nature fake contro-
versy brings this about, the primary
reason why it was begun, we may all
be thankful for the big stick.

Western roadmaster, who is serving a
prison sentence for payroll padding,
Saturday afternoon, thru her attorneys
filed petition for damages in the sum
of 100000 against the Waterloo Tines
Tribune Publishing Company. In her

the design and intent of injuring, an

She claims that among other state

Findlay, O., Nov. 4.-Judge Duncan,
in the common pleas court today,
quashed the summons served upon
John d. Rockefeller, in Cleveland, last
summer. His opinion is that Rocke-
feller represents a foreign corpora
tion that is not doing business in the
state Of Ohio. and that Rockefeller's
visit to the state was purely personal,
not one for the transaction of any bus
mess. A motion made by the Standard
and other Oil companies to strike out
certain allegations in the petition was
overruled. The decision denies the in
dividual right to bring quo warranto
proceedings and says that can only
be done by the attorney general or
prosecuting attorney in the supreme
court.
The decision was rendered In the
case of George H. Phelps against the
Standard, in which Phelps sought to
have receiver appointed for the
Standard Oil of Ohio, and the Stand
ard of Iidiana. to have their business
wound up.

NO CITY ELECTIONS
Defect Discovered in Law That May
Enable City Officials to Hold An
other Year - Made at Sioux City.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Nov. All city officials
in Iowa will hold their Office another
year unless special session Of the
legislature is called to remedy an al
legged defect in the statutes. The rea-
son Iowa municipalities cannot hold
legal elections in the spring as sched-
uled is briefly this: The general as
sembly failed to provide for the ap-
pointment Of registers except for gem
eral elections and limited their term
Of service to one year.
This means that all the city officials
who were placed in office two years
ago by election, and whose terms
would expire next March, will hold
over another year unless a special ses-
sion Of the law-making body is held to
remedy a defect found by A. A. Smith,
city clerk Of Sioux City. The mayor,
aldermen, and others will thus be in
service for a term of three years in
stead Of two as the voter intended
when he cast his vote eighteen months
ago.

Back Ia the Soil.

There is no more wholesome and en-
couraging sign in this country now
than the tendency to what is called
the agricultural revival" The former
drift of population from the farms to
the cities is checked. 1t was unwhole-
some and abnormal and boundless fer
tility, and the reaction was bound to
come as surely as the return swing
of the pendulum. There is a reverse
flow from the city to the farm. The
causes of this in every way desirable
turn of the tide are complex. First
and most potent, undoubtedly, is the
economic one, the increased relative
profitableness Of farming and the null
tiplying evidences that the farmer is a
prosperous man.
