Ind.. Nov. 8. The HammondFerrell habeas corpus case filed here Wednesday developed an interesting story. Ten years ago John E. Hammond and Miss Lucy Adams, of Sullivan, were married. After a year the couple separated, the young wife and Infant daughter going to Wichita. Kan., to reside. Later. Mrs. Hammond, hearing that her husband had obtained a divorce and remarried, was wedded to O. O. Ferrell. a barber In Wichita. The report that Hammond had secured a divorce was a mistake, but he, on learning of his wife's remarriage, took it for granted that she had procured a decree in Kansas, and he also remarried a few months later, taking for a second wife another Sullivan girl. That was nearly seven years ago, and both have been the owners of two legal spouses since that time, in blissful Ignorance of their bigamous life. Mr. Hammond discovered the mistake a short time ago and Mr?. FerTell learned the true facts only yesterday. A week ago Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell came here from Wichita on a visit, bringing with them the latter daughter. Myrtle, now eight years old. They are truests of the family of Ferrell's uncle. Dr. lewls Kern. Hammond, who is still a resident of Sulllan. learned of their presence here and puo in an appearance Wednesday and demanded possession of the little girl, emphasizing his purpose by instituting habeas corpus proceedings. The parties all appeared before Judge Klrkpatrlck, and after a short hearing the court directed that the chiKl remain temporarily with Its mother, she giving $700 bond to have her charge in court next term for final hearing. The remarriage without divorce is not the only unusual feature in this case. Another circumstance adds Interest and explains v.'hy there is such a heated contest in the courts for possession of the little girl. Two years ago Myrtle met with a railroad accident on, the 'Frisco line, being permanently injured by a piece of gas pipe falling oh her head from the hat-rack above. In the name of Myrtle Ferrell, her 'mother sued the railway company for JJO.dio damages. Hammond, the child's real father, learned of the damage suit and began to devise means to obtain the custody of the girl and tha prospective 110,000. an Interest in the girl he had never before manifested. Last March, unknown to Mrs. Ferrell. Hammond secured a divorce from her in the Sullivan Circuit Court, also being given the legal custody of the girl. This proceeding was also a revelation to the woman, she knowing nothing of It until Hammond appeared here Wednesday. She will at once take action to have the court order annulled. Both litigants are in the tight to a finish. bavin hired the best legal talent obtainable to represent them in the courts. The damage suit against the railroad comes up :it Wichita next week, the complaint having" been amended by substituting the true name of the plaintiff illanimond) instead cf Ferrell. a change made neces.'Hry by the matrimonial and other complications. The little girl and the prospective JROOO will hp a central figure in the court for come time to come. Since learning that they arc net legally married. Mr. and Mrs. Ferrell have been living apart, ar.d they will remain eo until the lawyer tan figure out the proper action to t?.ke t make them lawful husband and wife. Kicked to Death by n Horse.

SILVERITES' SCHEME ASK THAT DEMOCRATIC PRI3IARICS BE CALLED IX NEBRASKA. Final Flfsnren from Pennsylvania Give Haywood a I'lnrallty of 184,102 The Denver Muddle. OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 8. Much interest has been created amons ' Nebraska Democrats, as a result of election returns showing the relative vote of the two wings. Mahoney, administration candidate for Supreme Court, received 14,500, and Phelps, silver man, 8,000. Both went on the ticket, under the Supreme Court ruling, as Democrats, and the silver men claim this was unfair to their Interests and that It was not a proper test. The silver men now suggest that the' silver question be submitted to a primary election in Nebraska. The regular Democratic committee and the bolting Democratic committee to agree on primaries to be held at the same time and at the same place, each voter to be called on to express himself on the money question, and the State convention to instruct its delegates accordingly. If a majority of the Democrats of Nebraska are in favor of the 16-to-l plank in the next national convention, it is to be entitled to the delegation. If the majority of the Democrats of Nebraska are in favor of the present financial policy, then those Democrats are to have a right to repres?nt the State In the national convention. This matter, they say, can only be determined by a primary election, and the silver Democrats say they are not afraid of such an expression from the voters. They assert that If the gold men refuse to submit the question to a primary election they will be stopped from claiming to represent a majority of the Democratic voters. Both sides regret that it was impossible to conduct a campaign which would make the election this year a test. The silver men say that in Richardson county, where the matter was discussed, Phelps had a considerable majority ever Mahoney. The same, they say, ia true of Tawnee county, where the voters were apprised of the situation. The opponents of the white metal have little to say on the subject, asserting that the election results Indicate clearly that the silver Democrats are outnumbered two to one ir. Nebraska, and they think they -have nothing to fear In future contests. BRICE AS A PROPHET. Sayn the Next President Will Be a Republican. PITTSBURG, Nov. 8. "The results of the elections of 1S?3 make It almost certain that the nominee of the next Republican national convention will be elected President," said Senator Calvin S. Brice. to an evening paper reporter at the Union Depot, last evening. Mr. Brice was seated , in a Pullman car on the Eastern express. The defeated statesman said he was going to New York. The reporter asked him how the election would affect presidential politics and Mr. Brice made answer as quoted above. The Senator continued: "If the next President is not a Republican, the last election has, at least, added very much to the interest that will be felt in the deliberations cf the Republican convention. Who will be nominated? Well. Mr. McKlnley is a charming gentleman, able, popular and probably as magnetic as any of the candidates." To the reporter's suggestion that the public would like to know the Senator's explanation of the result in Ohio. Mr. Brice said: "Ohio did just what tha other States did. The result in Ohio waa no different from what It was in New York, or Maryland, or Kentucky. The- people seem dissatisfied with the general policy of the Democratic party, and no local argument nas any effect on the national impulse.. In Ohio we did our best, but it was useless. Chairman Anderson, of the Democratic committee, did excellent work, but the odia were too great. General Foraker will te elected to succeed me as Senator, ard what I shall do does not concern the public The reporter asked Mr. Brice if President Cleveland's policy was to blame for the wholesale Democratic disaster. The Ohio Senator hesitated a moment and then said: No. I don't think Mr. Cleveland is blamed, personally, for the tidal wave. Still, he will have to bear his shar? of the blame as being part of the national organization and leadership of tho Democratic party." "How about Gorman?" Mr. Brice arched hli eyebrows ani said: 'Gorman's' all right. Your man Quay v;as twice beaten worse than Gorman was lat Tuesday and he seems to be doing pretty well. No. Senator Gorman Is not annihilated and the man who thinks he 1? is very badly mistaken." II rice I lck of Ohio. NEW YORK. Nov. 8.-Ths TTibune says: Calvin S. Brice has sent word to his friends that he will be here within a day or so. Those who know Mr. Brice well say that his defeat In Ohio is a heavy blow to him. lie had countel fully on carryln? the Legislature, even if Mr. Campbell was defeated.

And that is why Bowen-Merrill are selling a 'four-dollar new selfpronouncing Teacher's Bible, indexed, for one dollar and ninety-seven cents.1 Also a three-dollar Teacher Bible for one dollar and forty-eight cents. You don't think we would have a 4 'fake" Bible sale, do 3011? Our prices are talking for us during this sale, and the entire ten-thousand-dollar, Allison stock must be cut deep and turned into cash quick so as to get ready for our Christmas business.

Kentucky's Legislature a. Tie. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 8. The Evening Post says that the General Assembly of Kentucky will be a tie when It meets, and tho election of a successor to Senator Blackburn is a matter of conjecture, the Democrats having 68 votes and one Democratic-Populist vote, making a total of 69.

His Stock of Books Was Ferr, hut He I v .i e tv All There Was in Them. McClure's Magazine. With all this hard living and hard work, Lincoln was getting in this period a desultory kind of education. Not that he received much schooling. He went "by littles." he says; "ia all it did not amount to more than a year." But more or less of the school room is a matter of small importance if a boy has learned to read and to think of what he reads. And that this boy had learned. His stock of books was small, but he knew them thoroughly," and they were good books to know; the Bible. Aesop's "Fables." "Robinson Crusoe." Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," a "History of the United States," Weems's "Ufe of Washington" and "The. Statute of Indiana." These are the chief ones we know about. He did not own them all, but sometimes had to borrow them from the neighbors, a practice which resultM In at least one casualty; for Weems's "Life of Washington" he allowed to get wet. and to make good the loss he had to pull fodder three days. No matter. The book became his then, and he could real It as he would. Fortunately he took this curious work in profound seriousness, which a wide-awake boy would hardly be expected to do to-dar. Washington became an exalted figure In his Imagination: and he always contended later, when the question of the real character of the first President was brought up, that it was wiser to regard him as a godlike character, heroic in lature and deeds, as Weems did. than to contend tha he ws only a man who. If wise and good. till made mistakes and indulged in follies like other men. Besides these books he borrowed many. He once told a friend that he "read through every book he had ever heard of in that country for a circuit of fifty miles. From everything he read he made long extracts, using a turkey buzzard pen ani brier root Ink. When he had no paper he would write on a board, and thus preserve his selections until he secured a copy book. The wooden fire shovel was hU usual slate, and on Its back he would cipher w ith a charred stick, shaving it off when covered. The. logs and board in hi vicinity wre always filled -with his figures and quotations. By ninht he read, and worked as long as there was light, and he kept a book in rfhe crack of the logs in his loft to have at hand at peep of day. When acting as ferryman in his ntneteenth year, anxious no doubt to et through the books of the house where he boarded before he left tho place, he read every night "till midnight," so says his roommate. In his habits cf reading and study the Ioy had little encouracement from hU father, but his stepmother did all she could for him. Indeed, between the two there soon grew up a relation of touching gentleness and confidence. Accepted the Trent. Bangor News. Old Mr. B.. who lived in Bangor reveral years ago. was called "very close," but Krarping as he was he never would accept intoxicating liquor of any kind. Onffday he was asked to drink with tevrral of the neizhbors at the village store, where drinks were sold at 10 cents each. "No, I thank ye," he replied. " I never drink, gentlemen.
