Married the Wronq Twin.

Paris, Ill.-Mrs. Ada Thomas o.
Chrisman. Edgar county, complainant
in suit for divorce against Calvin
Thomas, declares that she was tricked
into marrying the defendant, who
closely resembles his twin brother, AL
vim Thomas, and that she did not dis
cover the mistake until after the mar
riage ceremony.
After a courtship lasting about three
months Mrs. Thomas says she made an
appointment to meet Alvin here. and
they were to go to Charleston to marry.
1t develops that Alvin's ardor had
cooled and he sent Calvin to meet his
! tiancee at the train.
Mrs. Thomas states that she had not
the slightest suspicion of the deception.
and that when Calvin expressed will
ingncss to go to Charleston that night
she consented. Mrs. Thomas discov-
cred that she had been duped when she
happened to see the twins together
upon her return here the next day. AT
ter two years of unhappy married life
with the wrong twin she sued for her
freedom.

OLD CONFEDERATE MURDERED.
No Motive Can Be Found for the Mys
terious Assault.

Denver.-Believed to have been the
victim of an assault and robbery COM
mitted by strangers for whom the po-
lice are now seeking, Maurice Hudson,
an aged Confederate soldier, was found
unconscious in the basement of the La
Shell hotel, and died in the county hos
pital as result of a bullet wound in
the right temple.
All indications point to one of the
most mysterious and battling murder
mysteries the police of this city have
ever been called upon to unravel. but
thus far no progress has been made by
the police department in its search for
the perpetrators of the deed, and as a
result an effort has been made to sup
press the case from the public.
One feature of the case which, more
than anything else, throws a shroud OF
mystery about the murder, is the fact
that none of the roomers or boarders
in the hotel heard the pistol shot or
saw the man assaulted, so far as could
be learned.
Roomers at the hotel claim that dur
ing the past week or two they have
seen Hudson in tse company of strange
men on several occasions, and that he
has been seen to enter saloons with
these men of late. Recently, also, the
guests of the hotel say, these sam
strange men have been in the habit Of
visiting with Hudson in his room at
all hours of the day and night. 1t Is
said on good authority that two strange
men were with him the last time he
was seen before found unconscious.

Some Bryan Epigrams.

If / should make a straight-out Dem
ocratic speech the chances are that
President Roosevelt would make one
so much like it that it would at once
become non-partisan.
If the President has as much trouble
with my ideas as have had, he'll soon
give them back to me.
Some people resent the idea of the
President usurping the speakers plat
form don't The platform was made
for speeches. and so long as | can't
use it the President may as well oc-
cupy it, if he is going to use my
speeches
am so anxious to see a reform in
politics that | am glad TO have the
President adopt my ideas. am glad
to help him, and. after all the neces-
sary reforms are secured, then Will he
time enough to quarrel over where the
hoaors belong.
The President is doing so much re-
form work along my lines of late that
can afford to take a vacation and let
him carry on the work.

The G. A. r. Ranks Are Thinning.

Saratoga, n. VETERANS of the
Grand Army OF the Republic are in
their forty-first national encampment
here. Fifty thousand are in attend
ance.
This may be the last encampment
held elsewhere than Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia. At the business
session of the organization resolu-
tion probably will be introduced fixing
that place as the permanent meeting
place of the organization hereafter. Ii
is also probable that within a few
years the annual encampment will be-
come only meeting of delegates. for
the veterans are, it was stated by
Grand Army of the Republic officials,
becoming too feeble to attend the
meetings in a body and to take part
in the annual parade.
Statistics made public give the
membership of the national Grand
Army of the Republic as 100000. OF
these the organization loses annually
per cent. AS the average age of the
members is co years, the organization
will exist, it is estimated, for twenty
years more.

Held Up in Western Style.

Casper, Wyo.-Two masked men
each armed with two revolvers held
up Dan Robertson's saloon and stole
$2100, which constituted the bank roll
of the gambling games. No attempt
to rob the bar was made.
The games were just being checked
up for the night, and there were a
number of patrons in the place, when
the robbers stepped through the front
door.
The bandits commanded the crowd
tc hold up their hands, and every man
obeyed. One man kept the crowd COW
cred while the other scooped the bank
roll
The outlaws then backed through
the door and disappeared in the dark
ness. No trace of them has been
found.
The holdup occurred in the center of
the business district, at a time when
many saloons along the same street
We're crowded, and many persons were
