Cheney Rewedded After
His Wife's Last Hegira

the years of her husbands abandon
ment and infdelity 10 divorce him. is
living quite alone, save for her chill
dren.
And up at Spring Green, Wis, in a
100000 bungalow, remain Mamah
Borthwick Chat is all the name she
has since she was divorced from Mr..
Cheney and her soul mate" Wright.
They live there in lonely possession Of
rhe rich estate. developing their ego
istic social theories, writing books and
essays in defense of their conduct.
By the remarriage OF Mr. Cheney
one Of the two great social wounds
inflicted by the Wright-Cheney he
gira" has been healed-or at least
cauterized.
The engagement OF Miss Mellor to
Mr.. Cheney was learned by the Exam
iner last month. At that time Mr..
Cheney laughed at the story and Miss
Mellor denied IT, But she had been
teacher in the Parker practice school
until last June, when she resigned,
and it was known that she intended 10

Mrs. Darwin F. Coe, al the Fernwood
apartments, 31S North Normal park
way.

met his present one. Miss Lizzie
BOrthwick, who has mothered the chill

and Miss Mellor was her chum.
The three of them-Miss Borthwick.
Mr.. Cheney and Miss Mellor-were
much together. It is said that Miss
Mellor fell in love with the Cheney
children before she did with their
father.
And even at the time the story OF
the engagement was meeting its first
denials Mr. Cheney was arranging his
complicated business affairs so that
he might undertake a prolonged alb

Electric cOmpany's building il was
said that he was out of the city

several months" was the reply 10
Questions.
Then it was learned that he had TAX
en- sudden trip 10 Detroit and that
Miss Mellor had gone there at the
same time. The marriage was per
formed by a Presbyterian clergyman
and Madame Cheney, the bridegroom
mother, was the only witness.

this reason the explosion was prema-

Respected Citizen and longtime
Resident, Passed Away
This Morning.

In the passing Of Mr.. c. E. Day.
ton last night, death relieved long
sufferings bravely borne, and took
from this community a good and
honorable man. who will be missed
and mourned by many.
Mr.. Dayton had been sufferer for
many years with an asthmatic affec-
tion, and for several years past he
has been in q very enfeebled state.
For a long time after others less
strong of heart would have given up,
he kept up the fight. doing such work
as his strength would permit, and
keeping always an admirable cheer
fulness of spirit and kindliness Of
manner. A short time ago dr0psy
developed and he sank gradually un-
til the end came at 3 o'clock this
morning.
The funeral will take place from
the family residence tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock, under the auspices
of the G. A. X. Rev. II. A. Ward,
chaplain Of the Encampment, will
Olliciate.
A gentle, kindly man has gone
from us. His life was a lesson to all
in its exemplification Of patience in
suffering and cheerfulness under try
ing circumstances. Upright, honor
able and sincere, he lived aquiet, use
full life, whose influence was for
good. God give his soul sweet rest.
He died cOnsoled by his faithful
wife--companion and nurse during
all his indispOsition-and by the
love of his children, all of whom were
by his bedside: with the respect and
friendship of host of warm friends
whom he had gathered to him during
his residence of decade or more in
this city.

GOOD MONEY IN LETTUCE.

That there is big money in lettuce,
a crop not largely grown in the
vicinity Of Lakeland, is evidenced by
the fact that from plot 15x3O feet
Mr.. j. A. Guthrie has thus far sold
$21.6O worth, and he still has at
least $50 more heads to sell. This
lettuce was planted on a hill side,
which goes to show that one does
not necessarily have to plant on a
low place. as is generally supposed.
There is good money in lettuce, and
it appears to us that our growers
would do well to plant large acreages
of 1t for northern shipment.
