Historical Accuracy

Perish the thought that the novelist
or playwright should be tied down to
historical accuracy. Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond,
ence between Bulwer Lytton and her
brother:
MY Dear Walpole-Hcre / am at Bath
-bored to death. j am thinking OF writ.
Ing play about your great ancestor Sir
Robert. Had he not a sister Lucy, and
did she not marry Jacobite?
My brother promptly replied:
My Dear Lytton--I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert. bu,
know that he never had sister Lucy,
so she could not have married a Jacobitc.
However, this mattered little to Lord
Lytton, for his answer ran:
NY Dear Walpole-You are too late! Sir
Robert had sister Lucy, and she did
marry Jacobite.
So, in defiance Of history, the play
"Walpole" came to be written.

YOUNG WIFE
BADLY BURNED
Flesh Drops From Bones IN
Places.
MRS. THOMAS BUCHANAN
Cannot Possibly Live Says
Attending Physician.
Bride of Mine Months Lies at Her
Home IN LaRue Praying for
Death to End Her Suffering.

Mrs. Thomas Buchanan. aged
twenty, a bride since last May, was
horribly burned at her home three
miles west Of LaRue at $3.50 o'clock
Sunday morning She was building
a fire around an old pump which
had frozen up when her clothing
became ignited She started to run
to neighbor's in her excitement,
and with the breeze tanning the
flames, she was soon enveloped in
fire.
Mrs. Buchanan was at home alone,
her husband having gone to Sun
day school at Mt. Victory. Some
boys playing near heard the womans
screams and hastened to the scene,
but were too badly terrorized to
render assistance, and ran hastily
home and alarmed their parents.
When the neighbors gathered at
the home they found Mrs. Buchanan
lying inside the kitchen door, face
downward and almost every thread
OF clothing burned from her body.
The flesh was SO badly burned in
places that 1t had fallen off ,ex-
posing the bare bones.
Dr. Ellsworth, of Mt. Victory,
was Immediately summoned, and
used every possible medical means
to ease the woman's terrible suffer-
ings. The physician has pronounced
recovery impossible and the con-
scious victim is praying for death.
The young husband is almost pros
trate with grief over tho terrible
sufferings of his young wife.

work, the president consented to
numerous amendments ON the part
of the railroad senators and mem
bers and the measure ww passed
in such form as TO render 1T prac-
tically ineffective. The same can
be said Of the sc-cslled pure food
law. Democratic championship was
discouraged and the measure gwen
INTO the hands of its enemies
through process Of amendment.
Disguised With the long-drawn
out controversy over the Browns
vile affair and Fearful lest tue
president be made to suffer at the
hands of his cncmies, Senator Black
burn of Kentucky introduced res
olut:on in the senate. which III
effect amounted to a suspension OF
Judgment with regard TO the presi-
dent's action until such a time as
thorough investigation had been
made by the senate committee. The
resolution was u bombshcll IN the
Republican, camp. II was designed
to test the sincerity of the parti-
ripanis in the debate TO compel the
friends and enemies of the president
to ., upon record. II was brief
but it contained the solution OF the
whole difficulty.
Even the rcdNnbtablc Foraker
paused. The adoption of the reso-
luton would not only mean an
end to the debate but victory for
the president while its rejection
would tend to p.ovidc shrd hrdlhd
would tend 10 provoke a long and
bitter fight in the ranks OF the
party.
The resolution marked the begin
ming of the end. Neither Foraker
nor his allies could afford to OPEN
" antagonize the president. But
to vote for a measure prepared by
a Democrat, proved the most CALLING
thing of all. Hurried conferences
were held and ways ana means
devised TO steal the Democratic
"thunder. /" The president upon be-
ing advised of the situation, readily
rave consent, just as he did during
the pendency of The railroad rate
bill and pure food law. The Black
burn resolution was taken 1rom
the files and "rehashed. " On the
following day s:t was substituted
entire, Mr.. 1Blackburn's copy
right having been deliberately
stolen.
Thus it may be seen how the

surfe:ted with governmental affairs

is concerned. Like the broad :"

 The severe rains during the past week have been greatly needed, even if they have been hindrance to certain lines of work. It has been many season since the surrounding country has been in such dry condition, and if fall had set in without the customary rains and cold weather come on, the country locally would have been in serious condition. The pasture lands were commencing to dry up entirely and number of the farmers were raising the price of butter, especially to their new customers, and there are many people who cannot be supplied with good dairy butter.
