Reunited After Eighteen Years. W. A. Palmer returned from Minden, yesterday, from a visit which has resulted very favorable for both himself and others. It seems Mr.

Palmer's nephew, one Ernest Hodson, was given to a family named Dawson, when but eight months old, and has been kept by the Dawsons and trained and raised as their child. The boy is now past eighteen years old, and never knew anything but that his name was really Ernest Dawson. He was never adoped, as his father would not permit it. His father died in 1897, and he did not know but that it was some distant relative who had passed away. The trip recently to Minden was for the purpose of apprising the boy of the true condition of affairs and of having him meet his sister, who is married and lives in Indiana, and who came all the way from there to see her brother.

The boy did not even know he had a sister, and the reunion and disclosures were of course quite trying. He came down here with his sister and spent some time with Mr. Palmer. The Dawson family have been all they should to the lad and he is still going to continue to live with them, but is, of course, glad to know the facts while yet young. Heand his sister are mutually glad, and the visit was an assured success.

A Sudden Death. Died, in this city, Thursday evening, Oct. 19,, 1889, about 7 o'clock, Mary Caspri, wife of John Capri, age 54 years. Mrs. Caspri, who resides north of the city, was here for the purpose of doing some trading, and the above hour entered Scammon's drug store.

She complained of not feeling well and called for a drink of water. This was given her and she started for the door. After getting out side Dr. Hughes handed her a chair, and returned to get some medicine. She sat down on the chair and suddenly fell to the sidewalk, dead, death being due to heart failure.

The remains were taken to the home of Geo. Joachim, and this morning conveyed to her home. Deceased has been a resident of the county twenty years, and was among our most respected and highly esteemed citizens. She leaves a husband, nine children and a large circle of friends to mourn her departure. Funeral eervices will be held at the home tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock, after which the remains will be laid to rest in the city cemetery.

An ADVOCATE representative was approached by an ex -convict of the county jail this morning who had just been released from durance vile, and had started out on an electioneering tour for our present sheriff.

He gave the representative a tearful plea in Oliver's behalf, and said in view of the fact that the prisoners were treated so royally, give all kinds of liberties, that he (the ex-con.) though the people ought to take this into consideration and re-elect Sparks to the office to which he aspires.
