To Eeason A Salclde,
The Edit or of Apical to reason
of O'klahoma City gives a detail
ed ^ory of the leading facts in
the life an i suicide of J. A. Way-
land, editor and owner of the
Appeal to Reason the leading
socialist oi gan in America, and
tells why Ise committed saicide.
The fact« ire these;
J. A. Wayland was a m&n fifty
seven v-sars old and in his office
■was a stenographer seventeen
years old with all the hope
that life could offer to a girl so
fair and young.
Year after year Waylai^d
preached -he doctrine of free
love and the abolishing of the
marriage ’ ows and the relation
of men and won^en should be free
under all circumstaitces.
After h^aring years of reason
ing like tbis, -this young lady
grew into womanhood and was
deluded by 'the deception of this
vtie wretch and his confedeisates.
A few mo rths ago ihe fact was
learned that she was soon
to be a mother and, J. A. Way
land the father of an illegstrlm ite
(C .ild. Jd his effort to ©onceal
the crime he sent her to Aurora,
Missouri t > a supposed sainitarium
where she was taken in ^charge
by his companions, and in stead
of letting nature take its course
a crimi-nal operation was tperfor-;
med that carried this once fair
woman to an untim.'ely grave>
without hope.
In liis d isire to conceal?kis acts
his confederates attempted to.
convey the body to Ganaia for

Old Rye Dead.
A serious accident occured on
Front Street Saturday. A glass
jug containing >ne gallon of
mean rye liquor slipped from the
hands of its thiraty owner and
broke its neck on the pavement.
Many anxious friends stood ar-
oiand trying to save it, but it was
^impossible.
The R. F. D. carriers on No. 7
and 8 spent so much time in an
effort to raise the body that it
was early Sunday moring before
they reached home.
The total loss was $5 in cash,
twentyfive drunks and 125 head
aches and an Easter drink.

Spartay burg, S. Mardi 24.
--Fiom near Campobello there
eame tonight a story of the rare
presence of mind shown by a
three year old girl, the daughter
of Mrs. Samuel Petty, when hef
mother, holding a nine-months-
old baby m her arms, fell into
an open fire place. As Mrs.
Petty was nursing the baby she
was ever *ome with vertigo and
pitched f owaid. The little girl
the only )ther occupant of the
house at the time caught the
baby, w?o was not severely'
burned.
Mrs. I etty’s head struck an
andiron. When she recovered
conscioui.ness her eyes were
both bur ied out. Carrying the
baby in one arm, the little girl
with her other hand led her blind
and staggering mother to the
home of the nearest neighbor,
who lived about a quarter of a
mile disvant. Little hope is en
tertained for Mrs. Petty’s recov-
lery.
