Peru, Ind, Republican: Reference
has been made lately to the unhappy
domestic relations of Senator Fair, Of
Nevada, which eliminated in a decree
Of divorce and alimony for his wife. The
girl in the case, who seems to have COM
pletely captivated the old man with his
$l0,0O0.00O, is "Annie Carpenter" a
plump ana handsome blonde, about q
years Of age, with crushed strawberry
hair. Annie has history, and so have
her mother and her aunt. She is the
daughter of J. II. Smith, who was the
editor and proprietor of the Peru Free
Press about thirty years ago. In 1856
Mrs Smith left her husband in Peru and
accompanied Mr.. and Mrs j. T. Stevens
to California-or at least was passenger
on the same ship with them. Mrs.
Mrs. Shn'tz, also Peruvian, who was
then living with her husband and keep
ing hotel at Young's Hill, a mining town
not far from San Francisco. Very soon
after her arrival there her daughter was
born and christened "Annie." Mrs.
Smith obtained divorce from her hus-
band she abandoned in Peru and mar
ried a miner named Carpenter, whose
name her child by the former marriage
was permitted to assume. She left Car
penter, obtained a divorce from him,
and for while had employment in
Washington. After returning west she
was remarked to Carpenter The little
daughter Annie went to live with her
aunt, Mrs Shultz, who was very fond of
her. Mrs. Shultz became a member OF
Col. Bakers family in San Francisco,
and, taking advantage Of her husbands 8
absence in a mining town, procured a
divorce and accompanied Col. Bakea to
Washington. Soon afterward Col. Tom
Fitch, silver-tongued orator Of the Paci.
fic slope, became enamored of Mrs
Shultz and married her, after procuring
a divorce from his wife.
Like her mother and her aunt, Annie

The Huron Leader gives the following
.as some of it's reasons for opposing di-
vision and admission.
/. Because this is not the time to Or
ganize as state.
ODe-third of the people who will be
in Dakota by the end Of 1883 will have
moved here during this year. If the
convention is held this fall, this multi
tude of voters will be shut off from all
participation in all the proceedings
prior to the convention-unless every
body in the territory is permitted to
vote for delegates, which is manifestly
unfair.
2. Because there is no immediate
prospect of admission to the Union.
A vote Of botn houses of congress is
necessary to a states admission into the
Union. The present congress stands
Senate. republican House, democratic.
The senate is barely republican and the
house III democratic by nearly 60 plural
ity. Admission to statehood carries
with it admission to the electoral col
lege with three or four votes for presi
dent. A presidential election will occur
next year, and the democrats cannot be
expected to admit us before that elec.
ton when 1t is nearly certain that Da.
kota's vote would be cast against their
candidate. They got caught in such q
trap only seven years ago, when they
aided in Colorado's admission. 1t was
early in 1879, and the democrats thought
that Colorado would vote for the demo
cratic nominees for the presidency. Sc
they consented to and joined in the vote
in the house admitting Colorado to the
Union. The next November her three
votes were cast for Hayes and Wheeler
who were declared elected by one vote

Cheboygan Hnrbor.

The dredge completed the contract,
under the last appropriation for Cheboy-
gan harbor improvements, last Tuesday
afternoon. The result has been that the
harbOr, from the upper end of s. Baker
& Sons dock down to the slip above the
railroad dock, is dredged the full width
Of the river to depth of Is feet. with a
winding basin 800 feet wide. From the
slip out 1900, feet the channel is 10 feet
wide, full 10 feet deep, and from this out
80 feet in width, the range with the light
towers being the center Of the cut.
Monday Major Carr made careful sound
ings the entire length of the channel
and prOnounces the cut very evenly
made, the cut running from II feet at
the outer end to Is feet at the shallowest
place found. There were very few sound
ings where only Is feet of water was
found, it mostly running from 1515 to 16
feet. There is no excuse now for cap
tains of large craft refusing to enter
this port. Heretofore their excuse has
been lack of depth of water. This has
been entirely removed, there is plenty
of water to admit the largest craft on
the lakes, and plenty of room for wind
ing after they get in. Major Carr, who
has had charge of the work, on the part
of the government, has paid it the closest
attention and taken great interest in
having the work properly done. The
contractors, Messrs. Carkin, Stickney &
Cram, have shown disposition and will
lingness to do all in their power to give
Cheboygan a good harbor, and have
