Woman Continued.

The $4,000 alienation suit of
Lillian Stewart against Edith Reser,
has been continued for the term and
will not be tried until September. A
continuance was granted that the
plaintiff might secure service on GER
tain witnesses.
Many sensational features are
connected with the Stewart Reser
case. 1t is charged by the plaintiff
that Edith Reser, a pretty Rossville
widow, stole the love and affections of
her husband and that Stewards for
meT tender care of his family was de-

formerly postmaster of RossVille and
editor of the local paper.

The Passing of the Column.

Charles E. Langdon, once a SOL
dier of the volunteer army of the
United States. died near Topeka Kan,
June 4, 1912. Almost fifty years to
q day he survived the date of his en-
rollment. When it was easy to get
generals and colonies and majors in
plenty, it was, at times, difficult to
get the soldiers who formed the rank
and file. While it took long time
TO determine whether the Confederate
States should be wiped off the map;
while it took millions of brave men
to overcome the upsurge which boast
eddy proclaimed it's ability to put a
million of warriors in battle-array to
dismember the great republic, and
while the taunt was made that It was
impossible to subdue any insurrection
that could put into its armies a mill
lion of soldiers, still patiently persist
ed an endless chain of loyal men who
were willing to die if need be to pre-
serve the Union of the States. That
they did preserve it is history now;
that it was worth the almost measure
less cost was contradicted by many
even after Gettysburg and Vicksburg
had seemingly decided the final out
come; and still is questioned by some.
But by the brave men who did the
arduous work and endured priVations
and hardships to help. the great con-
summation no such question was
raised. Charles E. Langdon came

1T STANDS SO TO I.
Official Information on the New York
Delegation.

| Chicago. June 11.-Several hours
after his arrival here William Barnes,
| jr., issued the following statement:
I'VE have come here from New York
under order of the Rochester conven-
| ton to contend for the principles
therein endorsed, that this is self
controlled representative democracy;
that order is the prerequisite of prog
ress: that principles shall not be sacri-
feed to opportunism; that the bill of
rights and the constitution shall be
forever preserved, and to oppose
any principles that may be advocated
which can be construed as antagonistic
to these basic principles of the state
Mr.. Barnes said the New York dele
cation due Saturday will stand So to
{ for Taft. He said he knew nothing
of reports that the New York delega-
ton had planned to repudiate w. L.
Ward. national committeeman from
New York for his votes in the COM
mittee for Roosevelt.
Walter L. Houser of Madison SEN
Iator LaFollette's campaign manger has
arrived to take charge of the LaFol-
lette headquarters. He said he expect
ed deadlock in the convention and
that LaFollette would make no ar
rangement with any other candidate
for the presidential nomination.
There to Fight.
I'VE have come here to fight
straight through the national conven-,
ton as we have fought in the various
I'VE are not going to wabble or wigsle
a single bit.
"All talk of possible combinations or
deals between Senator LaFollette and
any other candidate is positively with
out foundation We are to win on our
merits or take a licking.
because of the close bitterly con-
tested fight for control between the
Taft and Roosevelt forces, I now look
for a deadlock in the convention with
the possibility that almost anything
NAV happen. 1 now think that the
Taft and Roosevelt leaders have driven
each other and themselves into
rocket from which they will find it
dif1cult to extricate themselves

Il think the cases have been settled

merit in those southern cases. 1 sin
