Kansas Woman Believed Hus-

Found Him in Missouri Town
Married and Wealthy.
SHE GOES TO LIVE WITH HIM
introduced as Sister to Hus-
bands Second Family.
Angered, She Reveals Identity
and Gets Divorce.

| st. Joseph, Mo-, July 4.-Nearly 40
years after she had last seen her nus
band in western Kansas. Mrs. Mary
Overley, or Clark, as she has oeen
know a quarter of a centpry, FOUND
him living at Bigelow. Mo-, married
again and with a family by his second
wife.
Last week Mrs. Clark. under the
name of Overley, was granted a divorce
by Judge w. K. Amick, from Henry l..
Overley who is railroad ma nat Bige~
low. Now she wants the divorce an
nulled, on the grounds that she testl-
fed falsely in the hearing.
According to Mrs. Overley-Clark
story Overley left her in western KAN
sas in 1872 to come to Missouri, ana
when she did not hear from him spe
made an investigation and reached the
conclusion that he had been murdered
by the notorious Bender family, at
whose home in Montgomery county,
Kan, so many travellers had been put out
of the way after they had been ropDeo.
Later she removed to Denver, which
was her home until several weeks ago.
Early last month Mrs. Overley-Clafk
learned through a childhood friend that
her first husband was living at Bigelow,
and she opened a correspondence with
him. She says he invited her to come
to Bigelow and make her home with his
family, representing that she was nus
sister. Overley sent her money upon
which to make the trip and she soon
reached his house. But life there didn't
suit the first Mrs. Overley, now IS years
old, and she told the second Mrs. Over
ley and her children of her resll re-
letionship to Overley.
Wife No. says she was told by Over
ley and his lawyer that if she would
come to st. Joseph and sue for a il
vorce Overley would pay all expenses
and would give her money enough to
enable her to return to Denver and
keep her comfortably. Her application
was not contested, although OverIey's
lawyer was in the courtroom to watch
the proceedings. The charges were de-
sertion and nonsupport.

the gardens attached to it We're made

DIR. Wilson never had any taste
for the practice of law" she said,
and he early determined to become
a teacher of it. But his ambitions were
political. However, he found that he
could not get into politics and be a free
agent, owing to his lack of means at
that time, and rather than have his
hands tied in any manner he regret
fully gave UP his ambition. Neither

COMPETITION IN TOBACCO.
Maker of s'Prince Albert Not Success
sor to American Tobacco Co.

After the dissolution of The American
Tobacco Company, as ordered by the
United States Court, erroneous reports
were circulated to the effect that r. ].
Reynolds Tobacco Company was one of
the several companies into which the
properties, trademarks and business of
The American Tobacco Company was
divided.
The reports are calculated to confuse
and mislead those who are not in
formed. In the dissolution of The
American Tobacco Company, r. J..
Reynolds Tobacco Company did not re-
ceive or acquire any of the trade
marks, properties or business belonging
to The American Tobacco Company.
In 1899, when The American Tobacco
Company became a part owner of the
stock of r. ]. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany, there was no secret made of the
fact, which was openly announced to
the trade and by the newspapers. How
ever, The American Tobacco Company
never, at any time, dictated the policy
or directed the management of R. J.
Reynolds Tobacco Companys business
in any manner Moreover the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company was required by
the court to distribute to new owners,
the stock it formerly held in r. J.
Reynolds Tobacco Company. The to-
bacco trade is well aware of the keen
competition during the past years be-
tween r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
and The American Tobacco Company
and other cOmpa MES.

BENEFITS LARGE AND SMALL

President Taft has not been moved in his
belief that the establishment OF farmers CO.
operative banks Will prove of benefit to all
farmers. in spite of the fact that many have
raised the objection that the plan would bene-
fit only the larger and richer ones. In meet
ing this objection the president quotes from
that the belief is falacious. The average loan
OF farmers in Germany, says the American
ambassador to that country, is only $3.50. The
plan has been tried in Germany and in other
countries and proven a success President
Tafts plan would give banking facilities to
farmers for small short-time loans on personal
credit The management of the societies would
