Clarence Stuart, sou of Fleming
Stuart, who resides in Franklin
township, about a mile from Roar
ing Creek, was taken to Danville
Sunday afternoon and placed in the
Danville Hospital for the Insane
the unfortunate young man having
developed a case of lunacy with a
decidedly violent and morose trend
As iu many of these sad cases a
girl stands well in the foreground
of the tragedy. oung Stuart be
came enamored of a girl who lived
near him. but the match being dis
couraged she left that vicinity and
the youne man, brooding over ab
sence lost his reason. His insanity
which came upon him about ten
days ago, took a most violent form
with sometimes a period of morose
quiet.
While in this state he procured
firearms, and kept not only his own
family but the entire neighborhood
in a state of panic with his threats
to shoot anyone who came near
him.
It was with great difficulty that
the attending physicians Drs. J. M.
and George H. Vastine, ofCata-
. si 1 mi.
wissa couia examine mm. 1 ney
did so, however, and on Friday is
sued committment papers to the
Hospital at Danville.
Sunday Dr. Vastine and an assist
ant went to Stuart's and by a ruse
succeeded in subduing the mad
man and placing hand cuffs upon
his wrists. He was taken to the
Hospital that evening.
Bued King Edward.
A L. Lindsay, a local agent of
the New Yoik Life Insurance com
pany, has commenced an action at
Wukes-Iiarre to recover irom King
Edward, of Great Britain, a fortune
estimated at $875 000.
On January 22, 1905, Captain
George Lindsay Anthony Wilson
died in London. He was a bache
lor, and as no trace of legal heirs
could be found his fortune vras
awarded, on October 21, to King
Edward, under the intestate laws ot
Great Britain.
Mr. Lindsay, who now lays claim
to the fortune, has established his
relation as a first cousin to the fath
er of the deceased, and is believed
to be the only living heir.
His attorney, W. S. McLean,
has engaged attorneys in London
and a legal fight is uow ready to be
waged.
The London attorneys iu a letter
to Mr. McLem state that the proof
of Mr. Lindsay s relitiomhip to
Capt. Wilson is perfect, but as the
money his been turned over to the
Crown, legal proceedings, which
may take several months, will have
to be goiu through.
The Village Fool-
A rather peculiar feature in the
play of this name that will be seen
at Grand Opera House on Friday
Nov. 24 in the creat reverence the
character of "Old Ninny Noggins
the Village Fool, has for Abraham
Lincoln, lhis fact has a very
strong bearing on several incidents
throughout the plav. A statue of
our lamented President, also a pic
Hire of him, are shown at several
periods of the play, neither of which
are ever passed by Old ISinny
Noggins" without his taking off
his hat in reverence to it, and cer
tain telling scenes of the play de
pend on this incident for their de
velooement. There is a peculiarly
touching simplicity about this inci
dent and the character in the play
that will not soon be lorgotten es
pecially by any old soldier or veter
an of the late Civil War.

THE OLD PLAY GROUND.
)h! that for one more summer, I might be allowed to go,
Vhere the butterflies and bumblebees played in the long ago,
JVhere the brook hid in the meadow, and the frogs in jolly glee,
foiled forth until the midnight deep, their medley melody,
Vhere the grasshoppers were sporting the livelong afternoon,
Vnd the sleepy autumn cricket sang to the rising moon,
Vhile oft the plashing water wheel was heard beside the mill,
nd often rose the plaintive voice of the lone whippoorwill,
Vhere too, the no'.sy Katydids sent forth their battle cry,
nd Katy did and Katy didn't came back in sharp reply,
Intil hroke on the listening air the watch dog's distant bay,
Chen, turning towards thej. twinkling light, I sought the homeward way:
)h! that for one more summer, I might be allowed to go,
Vhere all these sights and sounds were sweet, in the dear long ago!
JOHN G. FREEZE,
and plenty of laughter is promis
ed those who see "The Village
Fool" at the Grand Opera House
on Friday Nov. 24. The play is a
rural comedy drama, which has met
with great success since its product
ion last spring, and is oue of th'e
higher class of domestic comedy.
Mr. Prank Owens, who created the
character of "Old Ninny Noggins"
'The Village Fool", will appear
in his original character, ana
much is promised by the manager,
A. Q. Scammon, iu way of an ela
borate scenic investiture and a most
complete and capable company.
Pure, clean, refined comedy is al
ways welcome, ana wita an unusu
ally strong and te'ling story, much
can safely be expected by and as
sured to those who attend the en
tertainment.
Think of it! Twenty-five thous
and dollars for one story! . The
highest price that has ever bjen
oaid in America to any author 'or
the serial rights of any story.
And consider the quality of tner
it. the intensity of interest this
story must possess to command this
extraordinary price. The White
Company" has ever been accepted
as the greatest work by any author,
and by lar superior to nis own
Sherlock Holmes' tales out
'Sir Nigel," says Conan Doyle
himself surpasses them all.
Do not fail to buy "The Phila
delphia Piess" for next Sunday,

"We do not understand, wo Occl-

hausting you all the time. The only
good I can see In harakirl Is the ef

U there any economic consideration
of that sort under the Japanese Idea?"
