GREAT LOVE STORES
- OF HISTORY 60
BY ALBERT PAYsoN TERHUNE
Andrew jackson and Miss Richards
Bv ALBERT PAYSON TERFIUNE
(COpyTight hy tho AuthOE.l

News travelled slowly IN the
eighteenth century and was often dis
torted before It reached its destina-
ton. Hence all sorts Of conflicting
and damaging reports about the young
wife sprang into circulation. These
ISLANDERS nearly broke her heart. They
had the effect on Jackson Of red rag
to a bull. In blind fury, he>set out to
crush the false rumors and, to punish
those who started or spread them. In
other words, like q knight Of old, he
undertook to kill anyone who might
chance to speak slightingly Of Rachel.
,. He fought q duel
marr'eo oamo with q lawyer
"'"~" '"'''' named Avery in
1875; threatened to shoot Gov. Sewer
Of Tennessee on sight for a light re-
mark about his wife. and shot and
killed one Charles Dickinson. who
was allegedly guilty Of INDUCING in
the same sort Of gossip. In the Dick
inson duel Jackson received q wound
from whose effects he never wholly
recovered.
Having thus indicated his wife's
honor, the future president plunged
into politics, rising rapidly to con.
gresham, senator and supreme court
Justice. In the war Of 1912 he raised
$500 men and performed prodigies Of
valor which eliminated in the thrash
ing Of the more powerful British
force at the battle Of New Orleans. As
years went on Rachel's beauty faded
and she became. to most people. an
ignorant. plain old woman. But to
jackson she was always an ideal Of
loneliness. Up to the time she died
in 1881. he was her adOring knight,
and, for love of her, was ever ready to
champion the cause Of any slandered
woman.
When jackson first ran for presi-
dent the old false story about his wife
was raked up by his political foes.
Shame and sorrow over the renewal
Of these malicious reports crushed her
spirit and hastened her death.

Untold Loss Caused by Destruction

Untold Loss Caused by Destruction
OF Crops.
Terre Haute, Ind, July 1S.-Rain
which has been falling in torrents for
eighteen hours has,9fooded this en-
tire section Of the country and has
done untold damage to crops. Hun
dreds of acres Of wheat In shocks have
been washed away and most Of the
bottom lands corn has gone. To the
north and west of here many of the
telegraph and telephone wires are out
of commission.
At Martinsville, ILL.,, two and half
inches of rain fell in six hours, result
ing in the breaking of the reservoir.
Citizens battled all night to save the
levee and it is still threatened. Rock
vile, Ind, streets were covered with
eighteen inches of water for several
hours. All streams, are out of their
beds and many bridges have gone. H.
.'s Heavy rains around Bloomington
crippled the Monon railroad, tieing up
it's service completely. A cloudburst
between Bloomington and Elletsville
cut off all northbound passenger
trains, which were eventually de-
toured to Indianapolis by way of the
indianapolis Southern. All south
bound passenger trains are stopped at

DEMOCRATIC HOPE WANING.

1t is very evident that the pre-
tended Democratic glee over the out
look for the years elections must
very soon change no doubt from the
Democratic standpoint and to great
confidence and hope on the Republi-
can side. This change has come
about not through one, but many
causes. In the first place the gen.
eral grumbling against President
Taft, after all has been very similar
to all first year experiences, is chang
ing to hearty concentrations and
Endorsements of the president per-
sonally and his administration.
Lincoln and Grant and Harrison and
Mckinley, and in fact every Repub
lican president were found fault with
during portion of their terms, but
this eventually gave way to merited
applause which came when the peo-
pie found out the truth. The peo-
pie are now finding out the truth
about President Taft. They are
learning in the first place in spite of
Democratic Misrepresentation that
the tariff law is most successful. No
honest man, be he Democrat or Re-
publican, can say that the result of
the operation of that law has not
been most beneficial in every way,
both from a revenue standpoint, and
from that of employment and wages,
and it is very evident that Mr.. Taft
knew what he was talking about
when he said that-"It is the best
tariff law we have ever had" g.

Wadena Pioneer Journal: Now is
the time for all good citizens to come

accredited representatives, named a
full ticket last week in St. Paul, and
it is generally regarded as being the
best-balanced ticket any political
party ever offered to the citizens of
Minnesota. It is not perfect-the

things it should be elected from top

November. The Pioneer honestly
feels that such will be the result. a.

Moving Sheep North.
L. 5. Correspondent.

Due to the lack of feed on the mesa and valley ranges of southern Yavapai and northern Maricopa counties, many sheep owners are arranging to drive and ship their flocks to the mountain ranges of northern Yavapai and Coconino counties where feed is fair and water more plentiful. Desert grasses aie unusually slow this year in sprouting due to the many cold spells in December and early Jan- uary. At the first of lhe year wool growers anticipated very prosper. ous season but now the outlook is not considered good as the early grasses have been lighted by the frosts.
 Some heavy losses are reported from the A. and c. country where feed is poor and the sheep subsist on brouse. Water is so scrace in that region that sheep owners have been compelled to rely on the ship ment of water over the railroad for the supply.
 Campbell and Francis are arrang- ing to ship seventy carloads of sheep from Mayer Monday and Tuesday to points along the main line of the Santa Fe in this and Coconino counties. These sleep have been grazing on the Black Mesa and ad- joining ranges where the feed is SO scarce at present that this and Oth- CT firms. large sheep owners, have decided to transfer their focks to the mountain ranges as fast as cars can be secured by the railroad for transportation.
 The management of the 5. F. P. and P. is rendering every assistance possible to the wool growers in the movement of their focks and fur nishing water.
 Wool growers generally concede that this year will not be as DrOs- porous in their industry as the last few years due to the scarcity of feed and the consequent losses an- ticipated in the lamb crops Pres colt Courier.
