for from one-sixth to one.third the

prepared TO admit II will, 1t would be
simple matter to put an iron plate
over the outside of the vessel, pour

dead, slain by the husbands hand.
Burns shot her ano ended his own
life when, her sight restored by an
oreration, she saw for the first time
the deformed shape of the man she
had married, and shrank from him.
Burns was a founding in Chicago.
He grew to manhood; a butt for the
gibes of the thoughtless, and took to
the open road. Near here he heard
Gertrude Hardness singing, and al
though she had been blinded by scarlet
fever, he wooed and wed her. With
their savings he paid specialist to
operate upon her.
The hour for removing the bandages
came. The operation had been a sue
cess. Then, as Burns rushed to take
his bride in his arms, she saw his
body in all its hideousness, pushed
him from her in horror, and a few
moments later both lay dead upon the
floor

Prominent Man Gone
"Uncle John" Anderson Passes Away
at Home Near PreachersviIle.

After long and well-spent life,
Mr.. John Anderson, one of the East
Ends best known citizens, breathed
his last at 5 o'clock Wednesday
morning at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. F. F. Cummins near Preach
ersville, aged 7S. His wife, who was
Miss Jennie Newland, had preceded
him to the grave quite a number of
years, but the daughter mentioned
and son, James ID. Anderson, now re-
siding in Louisville, are left to mourn
the loss of an indulgent and devoted
father. Mr.. Anderson had been a
devout member of the Stanford
Christian church, since he was 10
years old and was a regular attend
ant at its services until the weight
of years began to tell upon him. He
was God-loving, God-fearing man,
a splendid neighbor and as ture a
friend as ever mortal had. He told
with pardonable pride fact that
few men can--that he never either
took drink of whisky nor swore an
oath. All honor to the memory of
such man. The funeral was preach
ed at the Baptist church at Preach
ersville by Rev. ]. M. Robinson. of
the Methodist church. at II O'Clock
Thursday morning, after which the
remains were laid to rest in the old
Newland burying ground on the
farm of d. M. Anderson. Peace to
the ashes of the clever man and ex-
cellent citizen.
