Il MISSING WIFE.

"A Husband Returns from the Block Hills
and Finds His Home Deserssd.
Two years ago there resided in this city q
happy couple named Gee, whose married life
was productive of that felicity which is sup
posed to characterize the connubial relations
of those whose union has been perfected in
accordance with the high and natural laws
of true affinity. Their local babitation was
situated on Seventh, near Franklin street.
and the roof tree, though adorned to meet
the modest requirements of simple tastes
and honest comforts, was apparently the seat
of many domestic joys that oftentimes dis
dain the bedizened society of loftier preten-
sions.
Time passed and brought business obliga-
tions to the young Benedict that necessitated
a visit to the Black Hills.
The partner of his joys and reverses was
informed of the necessity that occasioned
his unwilling absence, and the parting that
followed was fraught with unusual tender
ness, mingled with regret and sincere affec-
ton. The husbands absence proved of
longer duration than was at first anticipated,
but the rude life of the frontier drew peren-
NAL consolation by the weekly receipt of
regular letters from the apparently constant
and loving wife. The correspondence so
early began and faithfully conducted
was mysteriously interrupted few
months since by the failure of the wife to
respond to her husbands 8 letters, which had
previously been answered with the utm ost
degree of promptitude. Letter after letter
was dispatched by the thoroughly alarmed
husband, but no answer was forthcoming to
assure the writer of the fate of his unre-
sponsive wife. Further suspense as to the
reason for her prolonged silence at last be-
came uncomfortable, and with a view of ascer-
tanning the true reason of the painful neg
lect, the husband determined upon visit to
his home in this city. Arriving here from
Deadwood on Friday evening, he at
once proceeded to the place of his former
residence, on Seventh street, where the mys-
terry and doubt surrounding the strange con-
duct OF his wife became doubly aggravated.
What had been left contented and COM
Portable home was now silent and deserted.
and the unhappy man was confronted with
the four bare walls, with no vestige or trace
OF the former inmate. Inquiry was made of
the neighbors, who supposed that Mrs. Gee
had given up the premises in order to join
her husband at Deadwood.
The conduct of Mrs. Gee is regarded as
peculiarly strange and unwarranted, and the
almost distracted husband can assign no
reason for her more than perfdious action,
| as he has contributed literally to her sup
port within the past two years, having for
warded over $500 since his absence. Dill
gent, but unsuccessful, search was made for
the woman yesterday, the supposition being
that she has departed the State in company
with q paramount.

Accident in q Well.

Friday afternoon J. Shaaneck, West St..
Paul, had narrow escape from death. He
was in the bottom of well picking away
for the water level, while companion was
in charge of the hoisting apparatus. Shan
neck filled large tub with earth, and gave
the sign to hoist. The tub shot up over his
head towards daylight, and he bent down to
resume work. just then the tub became
unfastened and dropped, with contents,
down upon him. He didn't know what hit
him, but the accident was seen from above.
and the man at the win dlass descended at
once to Shanneck's assistance. He was
found to be unconscious, and was only re-
vived after great exertion and care. The
heavy weight struck him on the shoulder.
and partly on the head. Had the weight
fallen direct he would doubtless have been
killed. Yesterday Mr.. Shanneck wis wholly
out OF danger, but considerably crippled
from the accident.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WNoNA, Mimi, March 15.-In the district
court to-day the case of the State vs.. Kuh-
merit, for selling liquor without license in
the town of Hillsdale, came up. It was de-
cided to make it a test case, and send it to
the supreme court to see if the ruling of
that court in the Kasson case was applicable
to cases arising in townships voting no
license under the general law. The case is
one of general interest in the State. The
defendant pleaded not guilty, admitted the
selling, and that she had no license. The
court imposed fine of twenty five dollars,
but stayed execution till further order.

in normal school at Parana, Argentine Re-
public, where her sister. Franc Allen, also

[St Peter Weekly Times, March 81
Mrs. La Bonte, French woman, living in
the neighborhood of George P. Stanley,
northeast of Couch's saw mill, in Cleveland
township, LIE Sueur county, Minnesota, died
on Tuesday, March 4, at the remarkable age
of 1O4 years. Her funeral took place at the
old log school house southeast of COUGHS
mill on Thursday, and Rev. G. H. Savidge
delivered sermoc appropriate to the occa-
sion. large number attended.
Up to moment before death, Mrs. La
Bonte had been rugged in the language of
her neighbors she was "spry as cat" Her
death IS compared to candle, whose light
goes out in a moment without noise or fore
warning.
Mrs. La Bonte was born in 1775, one year
before independence was declared. But a
child during that seven years struggle,
! she had no recollections of "the times
that tried mems souls.'' But of all sue
ceeding wars she had full general
knowledge, including the great rebellion.
Indeed the most important events in the
| history of this country were fixed in her
memory, not, however, by perusal of books,
but because she had been among the living
at the time of their consummation. She
was truly q centenarian.

Jana,sscheE as Ludy Macbeth.

A fine audience greeted the return of Madam
Janauschek at the Opera House last evening,
when she appeared as Lady Macbeth, supported
by the full strength of her very excellent COM
pany. The text of the play was adhered to
rlgidly throughout, and the tragic qualities of
the play most faithfully portrayed. As Lady
Macbeth Janauschek sustained the admirable
reputation she bears as the foremost trage-
dienne of the day. She was the very ideal of
the dramatist in her every look and sction-a
cool, calculating, ambitious woman, who
stopped at nothing that might crafty her lust
for power. In every sense she played her role
with an attention to detail rarely seen in ar
tistes SO renowned. In the fourth act-tbe
sleep-walking scene.her high dramatic power
was most excellently exemplifed, and she
drew from the audience merited round of ap-
plause. AS Macbeth, Mr. Thorne surprised
many of his admirers. He was exceedingly
faithful in his rendition of the text, and dis
played line conception of the part. As an
elocutionist he has superior qualifications, and
won many enconiums from the audience. The
rest of the support was uniformly good.
