WHAT QUEER BRUTES.
Ills Wife's Second Husband in Jail, j
Enoch Anlen Taggert Resumes .
Business at the Old Stand.
The following, which we gather
from a Dloomsburg, Pa., dispatch, of
July 14th, is ridiculously interesting
After absenting himself from his
wife and family for twenty-one J
years, John Taggart, formerly Rev.
John Taggert, a minister of the j
Methodist Protestant church, and a j
modern Enoch Arden, turned up
at the home of his wife in Hem-!
ock township. He found that she (

to another man and that her
second husband, John nn Horn,,
was now in me cuumy jn
a sentence following ins conicuon t
of a crime in which Taggart's son
was the prosecutor and w hich in -,
plicated Van Horn's own daughter,
In 18S7 Rev. John Taggart mar
ried Miss Eliza Ivey, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Ivey, of
Bloomsburg. To them a year later
was born a son. Then the tongues
of gossip began to wag, with the re
sult that Taggart threw up his I
cnarge aim uoicuoiuu iu uUU
. , . 1 1.1 . n lrA
work. From that day until Sunday
not a word was heard from him.
His wife heard a report that he
had been drowned in the Johnstown
flood, and married John Van Horn.
By her marriage to Van Horn two
children were born, a daughter, -The trouble with Jimmle's med
now 15 years old, who figured in icines: The patient Is apt to take

Is serving time, and a boy now 7 j
years old. It was with the family
affairs in tills condition, Willi uic
second husband In Jail since last
May that Taggart found them upon
his return. j
To a friend Taggart stated that
' he left his wife aud baby to
seek relief from his troubles, he
lost control of himself and when he
recovered his senses he learned that
his wife had again married. Rath
er than to stir up any trouble, he
allowed matters to remain as they
were and kept his whereabouts un
known. He would not have re
turned now, he said, had he not
learned of the trouble his family
were in and felt It his duty to ren
der them any assistance in his
power.
It was his purpose, lie said, to
take his family to some section of
the country where they were not
known and start lite over again,
as the children had no future be-'
fore them in these parts minor the I
condition of things. To this ar-,
rangements .Mrs. Taggart or Van
Horn, agreed.
When asked where he had been
during the twenty-one years of his
absence he replied that he had been
everywhere, North, South, East and
West, even as far as Honolulu. He
followed the trade of painting and
paperhanglng and preached from
time to time.
When Van Horn was visited In
the jail and informed of Taggart's
return he was surprised. lie said
ho thought Taggart was doing the
ltrlif tliln" mill wnnii no trnt nut

of Jail ho would not molest
his!
wife and her former husband.
Flics and Typhoid Fever.
Over forty cases of typhoid fever
are reported as being prevalent in
Washburn's brickyard in the town j
of Ulster, about three miles trom
Kingston. Dr. E .H. Loughran, the
health officer of the town, sent
samples of the water from a well
from which all the patients have
been using water to the State Bac
teriologist at Albany for analysis, to
discover the cause of the epidemic.
The water has been pronounced pure
by that department after bacteriolo
gical analysis by the experts there.
The State board Is of the opinion
that the epidemic can be traced to
Hies or mosquitoes. It was request
ed that samples of blood of the pa
tients be sent to Albany for examin
ation and they were sent by Dr.
Loughran. The well from which the
water was taken is SO feet deep in
cnltfl rnnlr Tlifl Qntrt Tlnnnrtmont
solid rock.
..v. ....
has also recommended that the pa
tients be isolated from Hies or mos
quitoes while sick or convalescent,
and this will be done with the forty
six patients remaining in the town.
Pour of tho patients are at tho
Kingston City Hospital. The re-

The following valuable informa-.

It is worn around the wrist, over
the sleeve If a long-sleeved gown Is ,
worn; on the arm simply, or over
the glove.
Black velvet previously confined
to the neck, now encircles the wrist.
It Is pinned with a small brooch.
Quaint antique brooches are of

Another idea is the ribbon
"worked" In ribbon embroidery,
tiny pink roses, or daisies, or forget-me-nots.
Charmingly picturesque is the
length of tulle tied closely around
the wrist in a tight little bow, with
loose ends. "
This may be either in white, or
in colors to match the costume.
Sometimes the same trimming is
used as that found in the blouse.
It is merely put on in bracelet form
ending in a demure little bow at the
outside of the wrist.

curious find was made a few
days a;o m thc wo0(1 tract uack
of Shohola, Pike county, Pa., which
is being cut off and converted into ,
lumber by the Pennsylvania Lumber 1
company. A huge pine tree was
cut down, but tho butt was defec

end to the log, the diseased portion
was cut off. In doing so it was
found that this portion of the tree
was hollow and tho apcrature had

As the spot where tho musket
was revealed is in the neighborhood
of the bloody battle which occurred
between the whites and Indians on
July 22, 1779, in which the former
defeated, it is supposable that
the gun may havo belonged to one
of the wounded stragglers of tho
defeated patriots, who had wander

DENATURED ALCOHOL.

Bureau have been dismissed because '
their services are no longer needed.
It is explained that the expecta-
tion that denatured alcohol would

been disappointing; first, because

In many of tnes(J uses it has talen
the p,ace of wood nlcohol
But so far ns any direct benefit to
the farmers of the country Is con
cerned, the removal of the tax of
$1.10 a gallon on denatured alcohol
has been up to this time inconsequen
tial. It was fully expected by the
friends of tho measure in removing
tho tax that low grade potatoes,
cornstalks and other cheap pro
ducts nnd by products of the farm
could be utilized in the production
of denatured alcohol that could suc
cessfully compete in a large and
growing field with gasoline and other
mineral oils, but very little progress
in the direction has yet been made.
The total production of denatured
alcohol in the United States during
1908 was 3,321,451 wine gallons,
and in 1909 about 4,500,000 gallons.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS ii NORWAY.

Miss Gula Krog, a prominent Norwe

"Tho women of Norway have bad
