HICA0O.-f his ia the
strange story of the love
of a man and a boy.
The man was a musician
TnI-

boy was no kin. But the
boy loved the man so that he forswore
his own mother to run away with him.
And when the moment came that the
man could stand his pain no longer,
alone in the woods beside the lake the
boy lay down, barred his breast to a
dagger. and waited with closed eyes
while the man sought his heart.
The boy died. With shaking hand
the man plunged the knife into his
own breast, but his stroke failed to
find a vital spot.
Hours later soldiers ut Fort Sheri-
dan found the man, wandering and
gibbering and clawing at his bloody
breast. They took him to the hos
pital at the fort and strapped him to a
cot. 1t was not until daylight came
that they paid much heed to his NUT
terings and the writing that he
scrawled upon q slip Of paper.
Then, when they followed his vague
directions, they sought in the woods
and found the body Of the boy, cold

WINSTON CHURCHILL RETURNS
 ID HIS SEAT IN PARLIAMENT

Dundee. May 9.-After a short. sharp contest lasting exactly one week, Dundee today proved steadfast to the liberal faith which it has held unshaken for quarter of century. returning Winston Spencer Churchill, president of the board of trade, to the House of Commons at the head of poll
 Although the unionists did not expect to oust Mir Churchill from that gen orally regarded safe seat, their most sanguine prediction being that Sir George Baxter. their candidate. had a sport ing chance;" still they have the chance to rising from fourth to second place in the poll. as compared with 1906 and of re- dueing the liberal majority from 5411 to 27O9.
 The vote today stood:
 Winston Spencer Churchill, liberal, 7O79; Sir George Baxter. unionist. 437a; MT. Stuart laborite. 4014; MT serymgeous, prohibitionist, 655.
 Dundee is one of the chief sufferers from the prevailing board of trade and tariff reform and laborites made the most of it. The former paraded with placards declaring that the jute workers had lost their employment through the American tariff and this was opportunity fOr-them.

BRYAN'S STRENGTH.
Sam Will Johns Views In Response
 To Committees Inquiry.

May 9, 1908. Messrs. J. F. B. Jackson, Chairman. F. J. Hudnall Joel C. DuBose, R. P Wet more, w. E. Urquhart. Committee of Bryan Democratic Club, of Jefferson County, Alabama:
 Gentlemen:-I have your inquiry as 10 my views of the democratic candidates for President
 I shall vote in the primary election for MT Bryan because he is honest, emi- nently well qualified to discharge the duties of the office of President and is a democrat-in whom there is no guile If elected a delegate to the national democratic convention I will keep the pledge that l made when I qualified as candidate, and vote for the candidate who receives the highest vote in the pri- mary election.
 It is sometimes urged against MT. Bry- an that he cannot 'get votes"
 In 1896 MT. Bryan received 6,5O2, ,925, which is the largest vote ever given 8 democratic candidate for President, and nearly a million more votes than were cast for MT Cleveland in 1892. In 1900 MT Bryan received substantially as many votes as were cast for him in 1896 and had the certain democreIc states like Alabama, boiled a full vote, he would have had several hundred thousand more than in 1896.
 So that the official count shows that M-. Bryan received more votes for Pres ident than any democrat that ever ran for office and I believe he will get more votes in November next, than any man we could name, and if the votes are fairly counted as cast and he is not "counted out" as Tilden was in 1876, and as Bryan was in 1S96 he will be the next 1 President. Yours truly.

COTTON BROKER SUICIDES
 WHILE GIRL WAITS AT ALTAR

New York, May 9.-(SpeciaL) )-Isaac Frazier Williams, with no money left since the failure of Thomas A. Mcintyre & Co. on April 24, shot himself dead this forenoon while Miss Emma Arnold, the girl he was to have married at l o'clock, was waiting with wedding party of 25 in the crypt of the cathedral of St. John the Divine for the bridegroom to appear. Williams had once been cotton broker, and lately while employed as a solicitor for the Fidelity and Casualty company had been speculating in cotton himself.
 It is supposed his suicide was due to de- pression caused by the sudden loss of his money in the failure and a recent at tack of grip.

a.EnHnshn THE ICE MAN IS HUMAN.
Look Al It In This Liqht

You wouldn t stretch rope across the road when an ambulance is coming along. Certainly not-and if you could speed it on the way you'd do so with hearty good will.
 Well, the ice wagon is as much of MERCY WAGON as the ambulance, if not more so. Where the ambulance car ries one patient, the ice wagon may be bringing relief to dozen sick people on its route to say nothing of the comfort it is taking to every patron.
 And the ice wagon needs YOUR help, while the ambulance does not. You can help by having your coupon money ready for the driver It may be little trouble, but every minute you delay the wagon while you are hunting for ticket or change means minutes delay for every customer beyond you. Suppose there was sick person in the twentieth house and the other nineteen customers held back the wagon as you had-don' t you see what it means to that sufferer pining for ice?
 That s just one instance of innumer- able possibilities. Thoughtfulness on your. part on the line we have suggested will help us some, but it will help your fellow men great deal more. We count on your help.

Dane, MT. Ellehammer, of Copen- hagen, has invented a flying machine which is far superior to any hitherto shown. and the German government is anxious to buy the invention before any other power gets hold of it, because of it's adaptability to military purposes.
 The Ellehammer flying machine has the advantage over the Farman machine that it keeps 1t in a horizontal position While Farman's machine weighs about HOO pounds, the Elehammer machine weighs only 70, and when folded together takes up no more room than an automo- bile. It has a motor of 34-horsepowor and has made a speed of 15 miles an hour against the wind.

MINE DEAL HELD UP.
Because Prospector Gets Suspicious
And Worries Till He Becomes lrres-
ponsible.

nesday morning Dan Hampston, u
prospector well known in this sec
ton, was taken to Phoenix, for
treatm mt at the territorial hospital
for insane persons. Worrying over
a mining deal, involving the Red
Cloud mine, which he owns, caused
Hampston's trouble. Some time
ago he made deal with G. II.
Ferry, a millionaire mining man
of New York, for the development
of the Red Cloud property. Mach
inery was purchased and hauled
out to the mine, about six miles
from Patagonia, and preparations
made for development work at the
property, when some disagreement
occurred. The disagreement APP.
pears to have been between Hamp-
ston and W. E. Balloon, agent for
Mr.. Ferry, Hampston refusing to
g. let Balloon take charge of the prop
erty Since the hauling of the
machinery to the mine there has
been nothing done, the machinery
not having been set up. Since the
machinery was hauled out to the
mine, several months ago, Hamp.
ston has been alone at the place
most of the time, and constant
brooding over the difficulty has un-
balanced his mind. Recently he
has been suspicious OF everybody,
would trust nobody and imagined
there was detective following him
about and listening whenever he
talked to anyone of the deal that
was pending. Last Wednesday
morning, while talking with Patt
r. Sullivan, Hampston became
possessed with the idea that there
was man in the room adjoining
Sullivan's listening TO the CONVEX
sation. Thursday morning he re-
turned to Sullivan's room and
wanted to know who was in that
other room. When told that it
was Frank Mitchell's room and
that Mitchell was then down town,
he refused to believe it, still insist
ing that there was a detective in
there. The climax came Sunday
night, just before midnight, when
he reused Mr.. Mitchell from a
sound sleep and demanded ad.
mittance, saying there was a man
in there that he wanted and he
was going to get him. He refused
to leave and Mr.. Mitchell got up
and opened the door. In the mean
time Mr.. Sullivan, having recog-
nized the visitors voice, was up
and dressed and accompanied
Hampston in his search, going
through Mr.. Mitchells rooms and
even searching under the bed, but
could not convince him that the
man he sought was not in the
rooms. As he clearly manifested a
desire oind and kill someone whom
he believed had wronged him or
was trying to SO, it was thought
best to watch him and Constable
Page was summoned, bnt Hamp.
ston abandoned his search and
disappeared before the officer ar.
rived. Next morning he again
appeared, still looking for the de,
tective and also for a gun. He
was kept under surveillance during
the day and in the afternoon was
induced to accompany the con
stable to Nogales, where he was
examined next day before Probate
Judge Marstellar and a commission
