Five Hundred Thousand Letters.
 When the government was finally put on his track and the firm fled sand letters waiting for him in the post office.
 It seemed unbelievable to me that intelligent women would he taken in by such a ridiculous, on the face of it. offer as a petticoat for ten cents; but up to date I have heard of three of my friends who have sent the dime
 A fourth persisted in sending hers, even after she had been told of the Federal investigation. The Price Seemed Tco Low To Me. If they had made the price more p1ssible,' I suggested to the woman Wllo first told me of this, "a dollar. for instance, one could understand. :, 'No,' said she, they are wise to put it so low. The women think that it's only dime and therefore worth risking. It's like stalking a small sum on long odds. And lots of them may have sent it just for curiosity.'
 To conclude, those five hundred thousand letters have got to be opened by the dead letter office and the contents returned. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that fifty thousand dol lars could only be turned over to the Belgians< or some other war suf- ferers!

The vaudeville show is also win ming much favorable attention. The act of Chief Bull Bear and his as- sociates gives the audience a good idea of the Indian of today as well as the redskin of his uncivilized era. Then there is the. musical speciality of the Four Youngs in which a pleasing program of high class numbers is rendered on a variety of instruments. A song and conversational act by Wolf and Smith also contributes to the merit of the program.

delegation being entitled to only one
vote. If they fail to choose a presi~
dent in this manner before March 4,
the vice president becomes president,
and serves during the term. No such
case has ever occurred.
The nearest thing to a deadlock in
the choice of president was the
Hayes-T ilden case in 1851. The
validity of the electoral votes from
Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida
and Oregon was contested. There
were double returns from each of
these states. 1t was necessary for
the Republicans to have the electoral
votes of all Of these states to elect
Hayes. Between November and
March the matter hung in the bal
ance. Finally a special act was
passed by congress for which no con-
stitutiOnal authority existed, creating
4 special commission, impartial, of
Is members. This commission de-
Cided in favor of the Republican can
didate, on March 2. Inauguration of
Hayes took place two days later.
The Democrats have always claim
ed the election was stolen. Tilden
had the most popular votes.

TWO SUITS IN ONE MONTH.

John Thomas Curd has just
filed sensational charges against
his wife, Lillian Curd, in a petit
ton for divorce. The unusual
feature about the case is that
this is the second divorce petition
that the plaintiff has filed within
the present month. The first was
filed at Paducah. He says in his
petition filed this week that they
were married on July 6, 1913, and
later went to live with her moth
er, first in this city and later at
Water Valley. Her mother S name
is Mrs. Martha Walton. 1t was
while they were living at Water
Valley that Curd accuses his
wife of having left home with
another man, and lived a lewd
life She did this to such an ex-
tent, he says, that she is at this
time in the Jail at Clinton, charg-
ed with lewdness. - Mayfield
