It was then lowered , to raise again upon the first act of Gilbert Parker's play , "Tho Scats of the Mighty.

The attempt of an Atlanta couple to get married has resulted In a rather remarkable trial In that city. Benjamin Powell Is the name of the would-be groom , while the lady's name Is Laura Perl Lemon. The wedding did not take place because the prospective bride had a dream. And In that dream she claims the Lord showed that Powell would not make her a good husband. The motion on trial was one made by Pow ell to revoke a former order granted by the ordinary v. tthholding his marriage license and certificate from record. This motion was denied by Judge Hulsey , and so the matter stands. Some Interesting testimony was fur nished by Mire Lemon , who told the court of the wonderful dream in which the Lord spoke with her. It was Indeed a remarkable , affair and the recital of It caused quite a deal of amusement among the spectators In the little court room. "Why did jou not marry Powell ? " was asked the witness. "Because. I found ho would not make mo a good husband. " "How did jou find all this out ? " "Well , I fasted for two days and nights and during tills time I prayed to the Lord that ho would show mo whether or not Pow ell was the man to marry , and Ho showed me. " "You mean to say that jou got a revela tion from on high that he was not the man jou wanted ? " "Ye ? " "Well , then , when you wrote to Powell to get the license you really meant to mairy him ? " "Yes , sir. " "What do jou do when you seek a revelation - tion ? What process do jou go through ? " "I prayed and asked the Lord that Ho might show mo In a dream whether Powell would bo a good husband or not , and ho showed me. " Capture- . Notril OuMim. WICHITA , April 29.

Brown ran onto New comb at a bend in the stream and at once the rifles of both began cracking. Each used n tree for a breastwork and the bark was well peeled from both trees.

SECESSION NOT MENTIONED Strife in Order of Woodmen of the World Probably Ended1.

Alpha camp , Woodmen of the World , will not secede from the parent order. It was expected thai there would bo a warm tlmo at the mcctlug of the camp last night , but the contrary was the taso. It was anllclpated that Iho question of seced ing from the patent order would bo brought up and that a vote would bo taken on the matler , which would probably bo preceded by n long and animated discussion , bul seces sion was nol menlloncd at the meeting. George 0. Thompson , consul commander of the camp , who has been the leading ugltalor in Iho secession movement , presided at the meeting till the routine business was dis posed and then tendered his resignation , which was promptly accepted , and W. Y. Tcctzel chosen to fill the vacancy. H E. Lucas , advisor lieutenant , who was allied with Thompson In the recession movement , also resigned , which wus accepted by the camp , and J. A. Bowler elected to 1111 the vacancj' . SOVEREIGN OFFICERS SURPRISED. The peaceful termination of the meeting wai something of a surprise to the sovereign otllcers of the Woodmen , for they felt that there would bo a heated control over this much mooted affair. They attended the meeting determined to make a strong effort to hold the camp to Its allegi ance with the order. As a means to this end they were to present in Iho meeting n report of the condition of the olllccs that was made by a commi'tco of Kansas City Woodmen who spent a couple ot weeks In this city examining the records. The In vestigation was made to allay the uneasiness that wan aroused In Kansas City camps ns a result of the charges that were made by the Alpha camp members against the sovereign officers. The report exonerates the sovereign offi cers. The committee found that no funds were mlsappropilated ; that the books of the older are In excellent shape ; that the order Is in a flourishing condition , having doubled Its membership last jear , and that the charges made agalnsl the sovereign otllcors originated In prejudice of rivals. The committee selecte'd at n conference uf all the local camps of Kansas City to visit Omahl was composed of W. E. Hagan , Bjion Mlnter and J. F. Winch. The committee reached Omaha April 19. and went straight to the olllco of John T. Yatcs , sovereign clerk. He assured the committee he had nothing to hldo and Invited the members to examine all his books. The committee nxt saw J. C. Root , the sovereign commander , and there the members met an Omaha dele gation composed of Sovereigns Thompson , Allen and Fallon. Together they visited F. F. Reese , the sovereign banker , and a thor ough Investigation of all books and accounts of the order began. RESULT OF INVESTIGATION , The investigation showed that all claims against the order had be n paid and that there was a balance on hand and In the bank on January 1 , 1897 , of $3,830 85. Tlio dinrge lh.it J. C. Root , sovereign com mander , misused $11C of theorder's inonej- was found unti ue. He used It legitimately. The ch.irjTe that sovereign ollicers mlsip- proprlated monej- from the uenellcliiry fund wan found untrue. The report of the committee ended with : "We find death losses accumulated up to r April 1 , 1S97 , to the amount of $126,000 , but thcso have not all been approved. The doublet nbsessmcnt or April , 1S97 , In round numbers , ib estimated at $120,000 , which will show that bcnellclarj' claims will bo paid promptly.
