Farmer Who Was Fleeced by mail
Order Wife, Dies a Pauper.

CUMBERLAND, Wis. August 13-The

rather sad romance. Solomon about

matrimonial bureau in finding a wife. He

money to pay her fare to Barron. the

Immediately the new wife persuaded
Solomon to sell his farm, turn the money
over to her. and go to Missouri to live.
Shortly after reaching her native state
both wife and money disappeared. and
Solomon was left penniless and alone in a
strange land. He worked his way back
home and to the county poor farm. where
his unhappy career has just ended.

Dog Holding Possession of Prison

TOLEDO. Ohio. August 13.-The white
bulldog which followed his master-a
young man arrested for alleged completely
in an attempted highway robbery-nto
the city prison yesterday held exclusive
undisputed possession of the entire cell
room for several hours. The dog took up
his station at the door of his masters
cell and would allow no one to enter the
corridor. The turkeys clothes were
torn and several others were driven out in
successive endeavors to dislodge the
canine usurper. Incoming prisoners had
to be lodged in a place of temporary de-
tention. The prisoners father, who was
sent for, was no more successful than the
others, and the confusion was finally
brought to an end by the shooting of the
dog.

WERE SECRETLY WEDDED
ii. J. rlayhan and Miss Emma
 Garner Married July 10th

It will DO doubt be quite sur prise to his many friends around Newark to learn that Henry J. Mayhan, formerly of this place was secretly married in Little Rock on the 20th of last July.
 He was married to Miss Emma Garner, of Prescott, the ceremony taking place at the parsonage of the First Christian church in Lit tie Rock, the pastor, Rev J. N. Jessup, officiating.
 The young lady has held a posi- tion in the Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute for the past four years, where MT. Mayhan has also been employed.
 Their reason for keeping the wedding a secret was that they were not situated in the institute as they desired, but having secur. ed the desired changes, the an nouncement of their marriage was made, only a few days ago, much to the surprise of their many friends.
 We have never had the pleasure of knowing the bride, but the groom is one of the best young men Independence county ever produced.
 The Journal heartily joins their many friends in wishing them a full measure of life's greatest blessings. May they live long and prosper.

SOME TIMELY OBSERVATIONS
Uncle Silas Back From Vacation With Budget of Good Things

With Budget of Good Things
 This Is cent cotton.is going to cause trouble next year. What the farmer needs now is few fat hogs to sell yes, and few to keep, too.
 Better SOW patch of wheat this fall; 1t will save you from paying dollar Il seek for flour next sum- mer.
 The farmer who has a few good hogs, cattle and mules to sell now Is in better shape financially than the 13-cent cotton raisers.
 Don't plant too big a cotton crop next year. Remember it keeps your children out of school-they will have to make the living after awhile.
 There Is demand for good stock at all times, and at good prices. Then why not have a few good ones to selA
 Thirty years ago we raised good wheat in this country, and we can raise 1t yet if we will only try. This fall is the time to try.
 Some people complain that they are in the worst part of the worl d to make a living. How do they know2 Ever try all the other places2
 Sow small patch of rye close to your barn for the chickens and calves, and watch them feed on 1t the pretty days during the winter Don't be fool about the bad roads unless you need to use them. No man lives so far from market as the farmer who never has any thing to market.
 Every successful farmer keeps books. Try keeping a diary of your collections and disbursements for one year. You will be sur prised at the result. Some people keep a cotton field between their children and the school house, and by the time the children can get the cotton out of the way, school is out. Some of our public roads are not so much in need of grading as they are of moving. Uncle SiIas travelled over one of our main thoroughfares the other day that the weeds nearly overlapped the road. Not very good sign of heavy traffic to the markets.
 As the price of land advances it is natural for the products of the land to advance. The time for cheap hogs and cheap cattle is passed.
 Every farmer should take three or four good newspapers. It's the reading people today that are run hing the world. We are living in a progressive age, and we must either progress or get out of the way. UNCLE SILAs.

An Old Landmark Gone.

| The old Hunter clearinghouse on
CANCEL Hill, in the eastern section of the
town, on High street, which IS now being
demolished to make room for the railroad
Improvements. is an ancient landmark
in Shepherdstown. We have been TN
able to learn when the house was orgi-
nally built, but if was probably consider
ably over hundred years ago. 1t was
in its day a rather imposing structure,
being built Of brick with good rough
cast finish on the outside known as the
dash-and-pebble style. Situated on a
hill, and two stories high, it could be seen
for considerable distance. About sew
enty-five years ago the house belonged
TO Valentine Heilman, and when he died
he left If to the Reformed Church for a
parsonage. II was used for this purpose
for many years, but was sold forty-odd
years ago, the late Theodore Hunter be-
coming its owner and occupant.
The Hunter family lived in it for many
years, but all OF the family have now died
save ]. E. Hunter, who lives in Pittsburg.
He sold if year or two ago TO the N. &
w. Railway Company. The company
needing the site for its new station sur
roundings, gave the house to Charles B.
Mcdonald, who will use the material in
The erection of a new dwelling in the boom
section and thus perpetuate the old land
mark.
The opening up Of that section Of the
town and the Improvements made by the
railroad company are causing a revolution
on "Angel HILL" This is one OF the old
est parts OF the town, and was intended
originally to be the main street and chief
residence section. But the town grew in
the opposite direction, and Henderson'S
Addition didn't amount to as much as
Rays Addition many years later. Sew
eral Of the very old buildings on Angel
Hill have been demolished, among them
the extremely ancient log house known
to the old-timers as the Chris Benner
house.
In connection with the railroad i'm
provements, great changes are being
made at the corner of High and Mill
streets. The steep grade to the old rail-
road crossing at that point is being cut
down and the material used to fill in the
low places. Underground pipes have
been laid TO carry off the floods that oc-
caSionally tear down Mill street. An
easy approach TO the new station from
High street will be constructed, and new
concrete crossings have been made.
The property owners Of that neighbor-
hood are also interested and are now join
ing in the Improvements. John II. Show
is making a fine new concrete pavement
along his property on the south side Of
High street, and the railroad will continue
it to the new station. Henry Magata, on
the north side, will also put in nice
concrete sidewalk, and George Sanbower
expects to move his stable and make SIM
liar improvement along his property.
