He went south with hi regiment and for four years fought bravely.

Mrs. Summer's was a northern sympathizer, and told her hue band when he left home that if he ever donned the gray he need never return. The man took his wife-at her word, though she says she never meant it, and at the close of the war settled in Mississippi, where he has since resided His family struggled along as beat they well aa many others did in those awful and trying days. The wife reared and instructed her two sons, James and Jacob, and daughter Mary, and looked forward to the time when their father should return at the close of the war. However, he neither came nor sent; word, and at last they grew to believe that he was dead and mourned him as such.

In about five years Mrs. Summers was married to a Mr. Stanfield, and after his death to William Coohran, and they now reside three mile's, southeast of Excello. Two children were born to them, both of, whom are living. During all this time Mr.

He found the wife of his youth another man's wife, his sons and daughter (who is now Mrs. John Brown, whom he had left toddling around their mother's knees, the fathers and mother of grown sons and daughters.

W. J. Bryan is opposed to any limitation upon the freedom of speech, which, he says, has as a cure for anarchy. Mr. Bryan believes the evils of restriction are greater than the evils of freedom, and further declares that the death of President McKinley cannot be traced to anything said or written him.

The warfare, he says, must be against anarchy, not against freedom of speech. Anarchy, he insists, is a European product, and thrives most where there is the least freedom of speech and of the press.

In the veiy near future the following high class attractions will be presented here: The great railroad play, "The Denver Express," the beautiful military drama, "At Valley Forge," the beautiful comedy drama, Lane," and the roaring farce, "Put Me Off at Buffalo." (Chicago critics have cordially endorsed New York's approval of Clyde Fitch's "Lovers' Lane." Lyman B. Glover, in the Record- Herald, says "it captures crowd, horse, foot and dragoons, and is a welcome relief from the overstrained 'L'Aiglons' on one side and the stupidity of-English society comedy on the other.

OpiB Read, author of "A Kentucky Colonel" and other favorite southern romances, has been writing about Clyde Fitch's "Lovers' Lane" in the Chicago American. "Often you hear men say they don't like poetry, but they do," he declares "every man whose blood leaps at the thrilling strike of a black bass every man who can shed a tear, likes poetry. Ifc is the imitation that borea him. What he wants is Truth and without her Poetry is an orphan. In "Lovers' Lano" her child is not- motherless To the jaded how refreshing; to the scorner of horse play and the lover of humor how delightful.

Sweetly snuggling close to nature, this play, perfumed poetry, is as beautiful and as fragrant as a hawthorn bush in bloom," WABASH RAILROAD TIME TABLE EAST BOUND. Arrive. Depart. No, 3 $. St.
