A PATHETIC STORY.
Brother and Sister Of Adlai Stevenson
Die While He Is III.

Chicago. April 27.-A pathetic story of
Adlai E. Stevenson's illness at a hospi-
tai here has just come to light Dur
ing the time the former vice president
lay i'll from the effects of an operation
his sister. Mrs. E. S. McCaughry of
Sioux City, Ia, died and two days la
ter his brother William w. Stevenson
OF Bloomington, Ill. also passed away.
Fearing the effect of this news on
the patients mind. and fearing more
the danger of occidental disclosure, his
Chicago friends decided to send for his
wife, and to have her tactfully tell him
of one of the deaths. When he had re-
covered from the shock of this, it was
decided, he would be informed of the
other.
Mrs. Stevenson arrived Sunday morn
ing and performed her delicate task,
telling her husband only of the death
of his brother.
In the afternoon Federal Judge C. c.
Kohlsaat visited the distinguished patti
ent, but his conversation could not draw
the mind of the afflicted man from his
grief. Mr.. Stevenson spoke to the judge
of the great blow that the news of his
brothers death had been to him. Sup
posing the sick man knew of both the
deaths, Judge Kohlsaat naturally re-
marked:
Yes, indeed it must have been a Sc
we're shock, coming along with the
death of your sister,
That was the former vice president S
first linking of the second tragedy.

highest court i'll submitting the motion
by explaining the nature of the pro-
ceedings and the punishment imposed
by the lowest court. Chief Justice

FIELDS MINISTRIES COMING.
THEY WILL GIVE A BIG MATINEE
A NEW THING FOR THEM IN
STAJTNTON.

''A minstrel show no longer,n say
some of the old-timers, referring to the
Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels, which
will appear at the Beverley on Monday
December 18th, Matinee and Night.
Possibly not a minstrel show of the
bone rafting, clog dancing variety,
but certainly an attraction of the Goth
century kind.
The first part of the entertainment
comprises scenes depicting the evoIu-
ton OF mlnstrelsy is magnificent in i'll
stagecraft. The curtain rises upon a
magnificent spectacle of David, the
minstrel, with his harp of a thousand
strings at the court of Saul. Then
comes beautiful vario-colored shower
of blooms in which the artistically
decorated scenery, blending in perfect
harmony with the silks and satins of
the costumes, presents most pleasing
spectacle. The closing scence is ideal
of modern minstrelsy. This spectacle
shows the stag set as magnificent
banquet hall, the walters and guests
in appropriate costumes. The comedy
and singing is so diversified that it ap-
peals to every taste.
The second part of the performance
is devoted to astounding vaudeville and
spectacular acts. Carmel and Dough-
ty, the aeroplane acrobats do clever
turn. Burtino, slack wire artist, re-
Gently with the Ringing circus,a head
liner on any stage, is one of the fea-
lures. A southern idyl of song and
dance, with a stage setting worthy of
genious in its mechanical and electrical
accessorles-is the Frogs wedding.
The management has made arrange
ments for matinee so as to enable
the people of the county who cannot
attend the night performance, to wit
ness this magnificent production.
