So he went, and from the length of time he stayed, was sat- isfied that he had won the Majors good graces. He came right to me. when he came back, and said the Ma Jor promised to do what he could for him.

There was such an exuber- ance of joy, that 1t threw him into a raging fever. the next morning he was carried to the hospital" and in four days he was dead. What a tragic fate for so much loveliness! Perhaps this sketch may catch the eye of some near relative, and it will be consolation to know that the died from joy" Ills premature and untimely end is a forcf- ble illustration of the saying" which obtained in ancient times, Whom the gods love, die early" And, to use an expression of the "Patriot-Sage" of "Beauvoir," his presence in the army was like grinding up seed-corn."

MORE RAINS, MORE CLOUDS

 Rain and clouds are promised as a strong probability for Montgomery to- day by the weather bureau. Attend ant upon the conditions a slightly low CT reading of the thermometer is an- ticipated, and while this state of af- fairs will be of course delightful 1t is for the individual in summing up the situation to decide whether an im- provement will result from the several changes in weather conditions predict ed.
 Quite a few things happened yester- day, mostly rain. Straw hats became sticky and many people who did not possess umbrellas became uncomfort- able. The young men of the city were displeased because the girls did not come down town yesterday afternoon in such numbers as were conducive to a pleasant selection, and trade in the soft drink establishments suffered greatly in consequence.
 Rain fell in all of the cotton States except Oklahoma. but the people there cannot expect everything and they have Indians The hardest downpour in any of the States was recorded in Georgia. an act of Providence as the citizens are extremely zealous in demanding mois- ture, and so many forms of that com modity are denied them. The rain was welcomed WueE0NSE " uoSSShuSu'
 The cause of the continued sprinkle, 1t was little more, was the existence of a low barometer area working up from the southwest toward this section. This area has not yet completed its pas sage over the Gulf States. and it~is up- on this fact that dependence Is placed for the production of rain today.
 The river level will be but slightly affected by the past and predicted downfall. A small rise will take place during the next two days.

MERRY WIDOW COMING
AFTER MANY CONQUESTS.

Fresh from its triumphant run of a
solid year at the New Amsterdam The
atre, New York. 1.-THE Merry Widow
most famous of all present-day light
operas-will be presented by Henry w.
Savage at the Newark Theatre during
the week of December IA. Newark Is
one of the first large cities to be visited
by the New York company. which
closed it's run on October II last.
1.-THE Merry Widow" may be said to
mark a revival of real light opera as
differentiated from the so-called "musi-
cal comedies with which the Ameri-
can stage has been deluged in recent
years. It's music is charming and not
merely Catchy and has been praised
in every land by the foremost musical
critics as being the best music of its
kind written since the masters of light
operas wrought their works of a quar-
ter century ago. It's story Is consistent
and plausible and many of its scenes
arc full of the brittlest light comedy.
And the whole piece abounds with
daintiness and delicacy.

Chicago, June 2.-What will prob
ably be the only contest over the Re-
publican nomination for president will
be fought out in Chicago this week fad
next before the national committee.
Taft has clear majority of the dele
gates as elected and it will be case
of the administration candidate against
the field. The hope of the allies is
that a sufficient number of contests
may be decided against Taft, by the
national committee, as. to prolong the
fight beyond the first ballot. From
present appearances there is little
prospect of a victory for the allies. A
little less than 200 contests are to be
decided by the committee, but Taft is
almost certain of securing enough OF
the contested seats to assure his NOM
nation without a struggle.
