TWO WIVES; ONE HUSBAND: FOUR BABIES
DRAMATIC PERSONE IN GEORGIA COURT

Dublin, Ga, March Csc T. Nix, Of
this city, has been sentenced to seven
years in the penitentiary for the crime
of bigamy, the trial having taken place
ii Wrightsville, Johnson county,
where the second marriage ceremony
as performed, although he and his
wife both live in Dublin.
The trial was sensational in a high
degree. Just before court opened his
first wife, who lived at Cornelia, came
into the room with her mother and two
children.
Nix was brought in a few minutes
later by the sheriff and at sight of
him his wife burst into a fit of weep
ing so violent that at first it was
feared she would go into commissions.
Nix paid no attention to her and short
ly after he had been seated, his sec
ond wife, who is from Dublin, and
was Mrs. Freeman Keen before her
marriage, came in with a baby in her
arms, also Nix's child.
She sat down beside Nix APPARENTLY
obliyious to anything but the fact that
she was with him again.
Shortly after this the two children
Of the first wife went over to Nix AMI
he petted them considerably, took them
on his knees and caressed them. Mrs.
Nix No. 2 then handed him her baby
and during a considerable portion of
the trial Nix sat with the baby in his
arms and the two children on his knee.
Nix ended his statement by saying
that no matter how long he was forced
to stay in the penitentiary he intended
to come back to wife No. 2, just as
soon as he was free.

SPINSTERS BEAT
MARRIED WOMEN
At LONG LIVES

New York, March 2S.-Spinsters live
longer than the married women, and
the woman who holds an endowmen;
insurance policy lives longer than the
woman who takes out straight life
policy. The facts substantiated by
statistics gathered last year by ex-
perts of forty-three insurance COM
panies were brought out yesterday by
Arthur Hunter, an actuary, in an ad-
dress to the Life Underwriters AS
scciation.
Mr.. Hunter also said the business
woman lives longer than the married
nan, but he did not attempt to explain
that nor why the unmarried woman
survives the matron. He did tell, how
ever, why the woman who takes out an
endowment policy lives longer than
she who has to die to win.
"The endowment woman just gets
up her spirit and determines to live I'M
til the policy natures" he said.
MIR. Hunter said there were mora
fatal accidents in this country than
elsewhere because of the American
Tll-take-a-chance" spirit.

Anxious to Flight.

LONDON, Oct. Am instance Of
how anxious Irish soldiers are to go
to the front was witnessed recently
at Chelsea barracks, where the Irish
guards were quartered. Late one
evening some one spread the rumor
that the Irish guards we're to be
transferred to one of the army depots.
That evening was one Of the widest
known at Chelsea barracks. Then
came the announcement that the ru-
NOR was true.
Immediately the Irish guards set
I'D the cry, Eve want to go to the
front. Our place is in France. We
won't 90 to any depots." For more
than an hour the yelling kept up.
Then the officers made speeches tell
ing the men to be patient and they
would soon be off for the scene OF
fighting. Even after these promises,
force of mounted police Vas es-
tablished about the barracks to In
sure peace and quiet.

Prof. Henry 8. Curtis, Of Olivet.
Mich, playground expert, who will

which will be held at the high school,
and at which a permanent Keokuk
Fairgrounds association will be form
ed, inspected the playground which

this morning. Professor Curtis made
talk on Fairgrounds before the
teachers institute and spoke again
this afternoon.
The professor complimented Princi-
pal e. S. Patterson on what had been
done towards Fairgrounds on the
Washington site. He suggested some
changes which could be made, how
ever, and offered some OF his prac-
ticaI ideas in solution Of the problem
which it is hoped to solve tonight with
the organization of the Fairgrounds
association.
Professor Curtis will speak this
evening on the playground movement
and its significance. His lecture will

the coming Of Christ in the clouds of
heaven, while the seventh seal Is
opened at that time and reaches into
eternity.
It was read from the seventh and
fourteenth chapters OF Revelation,
that before Christ comes and the sew

servants of God will be sealed in
their foreheads with the seal of God;
and every one not having this seal
will receive the mark OF the beast in
their forehead or hand and be eter.

of God and the mark OF the beast,
about which 1t Is so important that
we inform ourselves, will be taken up
in the near future.
The subject for tonight was amour
ced to be, "If We are sincere, will God
save us?" This question comes to
the mind of nearly every one at some
time Or another, and it will be an
swered tonight from the Bible.

Some people make their own

All the same, Monaco Is certainly
suffering from reaction against Ger
mans. At first their expulsion was
the merest sham. Then the prince
proposed to provide them with spa
cial ship to take them away to Italy.
"Ah!" said Nice, then you admit
you have been sheltering them; and
now you want to send them away In
luxury. with all the fruits OF their
espionage"
One result Is that high officials Of
the casino are now in Nice prisons
waiting to be tried as spies. An Ital-
ian paper said one Of them had been
shot, but this is contradicted.

Have Accomplished Much.

The playground expert in his trip
over the Washington grounds today
said that the school directors had
done much better with the space at
hand than was to be found in most
places. He suggested utilizing the
ground at the side of the Mckinley
buildings, which is unsightly now with
a rank growth Of grass, for volley ball,
and explained where another volley
ball court could be put up.
Professor Curtis believes play
grounds should be laid out as care
fully as a person would build house.
He would have blue prints made OF
the ground showing location of ap-
paratus and when these finally are
accepted and approved, he would have
the blue print followed faithfully. In
this way, Mr. Curtis believes waste
could be eliminated.
He advocates having as much OF
the playground apparatus put up by
the children as far as practical. In
this he indorses the system OF Pro
lessor Patterson, who has had most OF
the work on the Washington grounds
done by the older boys in the school.
He suggests that the schools should
buy steel and material for the appar-
aims direct from the factories and thus
save considerable cost, which he has

PROPHECY
BEING DISCUSSED
Adventists Tent Meetings Consider
1.-THE Seven Seals" Last
Evening.
TContributed.1

Another of the eight great lines OF
prophecy, 'The Seven Seals OF Reve-
lation Six" was carefully studied at
the tent last night. This important
prophecy is described as being d.
yided into seven parts, all contained
in a book, each part being sealed sep
arately; and SO sacred did Jehovah
consider this prophetic history Of the
church, that no man was found wor-
thy to open the seven seals except
the Son of God, the lion Of the tribe
Of Juda.
The opening OF the first seal very
evidently disclosed the primitive
church. with the purity and zeal which
attended its earnest missionary labors
during the first century and the cary
wears Of the second, while they suf-
fered persecution at the hands of the
pagan world. The second. third, fourth
and fifth seals plainly indicate the
different steps in the great apostasy
which gradually and insidiously, at
first. began working in the church,
until christianity and paganism COM
promised; the church and state were
united and instead Of being persecut-
ed 1t. backed by the civil arm, be-
came for centuries the relentless per-
secutor of those who dared stand true
to their conscience and convictions.
This state of affairs was to continue
until the taking place of the events
shown in the opening of the sixth
seal, the supernatural Gardening OF
the sun and moon, of May 10. 1880,
and the falling Of the stars which oc-
CURED a little later. Then the events
under the sixth seal were shown to

PARIS, Oct. Monte Carlo In war
time! The playground of Europe and
the worlds gambling rendezvous is
desolate. The one place where always

blight Of the greatest war in history.
The following story was sent to a
local newspaper by special represen-

the little principality in war time:

the top of the hill. For sheer, forlorn
desolation have beheld nothing to
compare with Monte Carlo In time OF

OF wild dissipation, this hackneyed
scene of melodrama has acquired all
the silence and gloom of Pompeii.
Outside the Casino I was Informed
by a placard on the closed shutters
that, owing to "the events" the build

notice; the reading room was trans

suspiciously, for at Nice German-bait-
ing is the great sport Of the hour.
The soberest citizens rush suddenly
amuck and collect crowds to chase
and belabour a man who has the
wrong hat or the wrong cut Of bread.
And at Nice we mistrust Monaco.
We know that the prince has sent
1000 pounds to the project OF the
Seine for the families of French sol
diers; we have read his htghness' stir

leil; we have seen the red proclama-

a friend Of the kaiser, a cousin of the
chief of the German staff. We suspect
him of tolerating spies. We murmur
of annexation.
SO I watched my neighbor, and
saw she resented 1t. The proprietor
addressed her sympathetically as
Madame lc Comtesse. But that did
not soothe her
Between the courses she threw up
her hands and screamed that such
things were unheard OF. What
things?" 1 ventured to inquire.
Why, this Infamous atmosphere OF
suspicion. (My suspicion, perhaps)
For days and days she had been push.
