AGED COUPLE EXPIRE
IN \ RECONCILIATION
Often Parted, Man and Wife Meet for
Forgiveness and Both Fall Dead.


Forgiveness and Both Fall Dead.
Chicago, Ill.-The hand of death
brought reconciliation and peace to
an aged couple for whom life had held
only unhappiness.
They had met for a final reconcilia-
ton, but before the words that were
on both their lips could be spoken
death had claimed the feeble woman.
The husband looked, gasped and
fell across the body of his wife, his
arms about her neck.
He too was dead.
The reconciliation had been effectA
tured. A single grave will receive the
bodies of the couple whom life had
parted.
Alonzo H. Echols. 70 years old. was
the husband and Mrs. Annie Jerrel
Echols, So years old, was the wife
who figured in the drama staged in
their former home at 3044 West Mad
ison street
Echols, who was a confederate vet
eran and who served on the staff of
General Robert E. Lee, had cultivat-
L
was this habit that resulted in the
separation of the man and wife sever
al times.
But their differences had failed to
stifle the love they bore each other.
Mrs. Echols forgot her pride long
enough to make an admission, that
she considered a weakness, to a neigh
Dor.
81 need papa" she said. 'I know
he will come to his senses and come
back to me soon."
The husband must have felt this
same impulse at the same time as the
next mail carried a letter in which
he told of his plan to visit her and ask
to be taken back again.
Mrs. Echols was in a fever of ex-
element The hours intervening
seemed months. Before going to bed
she said she could scarcely wait for
the morrow that would bring papa
again"
But her sudden happiness was too
much for her frail physique. When
Echols finally arrived he leaned over
the bed to find a woman too weak to
iloIe IMAM slHlle ldlHllN up at Nun
She moved her lips to utter words of
forgiveness that never were spoken
Seized with sudden fear he lean
ed over the bed o kiss the trembling
lips. But his wife was dead.
Bewildered, the man stumbled to
the door and called a neighbor. Then
back he went to the bed, wrung his
hands a moment, then fell across the
bed as he clasped his hands about his
wife's neck.
The neighbors who crowded into
the flat, hat in hand. could not but
believe that it was power greater
than had taken the two lives almost
at the same moment.

SCHUBERT COMPANY A
SOURCE OF DELIGHT

Those who were at the Oregon the
atre last evening to hear the Schubert
symphony club and lady quartet had
the pleasure of listening to the classi-
est musical aggregation that has been
in this city in many months. The
program was q source of continued
delight to the music lovers present
and proved that the glowing praises
that have been bestowed upon the
troupe in the past have not been un-
merited
AS a violinist Thomas Valentine
Purcell is a star and his several Sc
lections were well appreciated. Mr..
Purcell also leads the symphony club.
The two readings given by Anna
Pearl Weatherington showed her to
be remarkably clever and when she
responded one time to an encore with
darkey dialect selection the ap-
plause was almost deafening.
Miss Leeate Corder, leading sopran-
oist in the quartet is the chief soloist
and she sang Aria from Traviata"
with THE Last Rose of Summer" as
an encore. Miss Corder has splen-
did, well trained voice that is full of
music.
The ladies quartet which has three
numbers upon the evening program
Is worthy of attention anywhere. The
voices blend beautifully and the Sc
lections are well made.
AS finale for the program the
entire club joined with voices and in
struments in rendering specially ar
ranged selections from Straus, 'Sun-
light Twilight and Morning" It
was fitting end to a splendid pro-
gram.

Make Thin People Fat.
Pale, thin people are simply suffer-
ing for want of nourishment. They
may eat enough, but their food Is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale weak and thin 1t mingles
with the food and aids assimilation,
so that when taken for a short time,
Nature will soon assert her normal
powers and the food that is eaten will
give strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness Of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh. will find his
desires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug
gist Koeppen G. Bros. are willing to
pay for the treatment IL 1t does not
give the desired results. They make
this offer generally and want all who
are thin, weak and out of health to
get box Of Samose from them on
those terms.

DEMAND FOR RESIDENCES
OF ALL KIND GREATER
NOW THAN IN MANY YEARS
PRACTICALLY NO VACANT
HOUSES IN ANY SECTION OF
THE CITY AT PRESENT.

If the demand for houses is an in
dication Of prosperity, Brunswick has
.sruck the biggest wave because the
for rent sign will soon be a curl
osity here. The renting agents re-
port demand for houses of all kinds
in fact they say it is stronger now
than at any time i'm recent years.
And this demand Is not confined to
any one class of houses, but extends
from the humble cottage to the elab-
crate residence. That mapy of the
lahorers who left here some years
ago, have returned, Is evidenced BY
the number OF former vacant houses
in the colored section now occupied
But house owners are sensible.
They are not advancing rent and
they should not when they receive
a reasonable rate Of interest on their
investments.
