but was refused"
simultaneously with this report, a
communication reached the Pittsburg
police from = source which they will
not divulge to the effect that spauld-
ing under the name of George Fred
erick Spate in 1902, was married to
Muriel. daughter Of Lord and Lady
Sundeld, who left her home In London
because Of difference with her par
ents, and went to South Africa during
the Boer war as a Red Cross nurse.
In consequence her parents disowned
her, and her name was removed from
the records Of the British nobility.
It IL claimed Spate is younger son
Of noble English family.
He secured . subaltern berth in the
English army and fought in South AZ
RIGA during the Boer war.
It was while he was wandering
about South Africa that he is alleged
to have married the daughter of Lord
and Lady Sumeld. Spate is alleged to
have interested his wife in a diamond
mine which he had "salted" and final
ly sold the mine to her and some
others for large sum.
Before the discovery was made that
the mine was Sailed" spate is said
to have taken his wife into the interior
OF Africa. where he deserted her in
the land Of the Zulu chief, Mosilikaps.
He returned to Johannesburg, where
he circulated q story to the effect that
his wife had been killed by the ma
tives. Spate then started to organize
a new Zulu kingdom, with himself as
chief, with the purported object OF
going into the land Of Mosilikaps and
avenging the death of his wife. Just
about this time. however, the woman
appeared 1t Johannesburg.

Last Friday night the pleasant home
of Mr.. and Mrs H. S. Campbell was the
scene of quite a commotion for few
minutes. The commotion was occasionec
by the entrance unannounced of goodly
number Of Oddfellows and Rebekahs who
took ii upon themselves to give the es-
teemed couple farewell visit before their
departure for their rural home near Muir
After Herb and his wife had recovered
from the surprise things ran along very
nicely for a while until some member Of
the party in behalf Of the company pre-

Eugene Ware Says.

Kansas City. Mo.-That among the
ancient Babylonians, 5000 years b. c..
there were lawyers of rare ability
real estate men of more than ordinary
shrewdness In driving and clinching q
bargain, and craftsmen with great in
genuity and pride in their work. is the
opinion of Eugene r. Ware, lawyer
poet and "Kansan."
In an address before the real estate
men OF Kansas City some time ago
Mr.. Ware made the statement that as
long as 5000 years ago men were deal.
Ing In real estate, and that those men
were as energetic traders and as keen
In their transactions as the real es.
tate dealers of to-day.
Mr.. Ware explained the result OF his
research into the history of the Baby
lonians which has caused him to form
this opinion. While travelling in Eu-
rope several years ago he came upon
number of clay tablets at the Louvre
