New Way to Get Rid Of Husband

Washington. Nov. IA noble woman
was at the white house ~to-day-a bride
and her husband waz with her, and
the visit seem to have a melancholy in.
terest for him. 1t was tho third time
she had been there and it was the first
trip. She told one of the bookeeperl
that when she was first a bride she call.
ed On President Grant. Her hueband
died shortly afterward. She called the
next time when President Hayes was the
occupant of the white house. On her
return to her home in Massachusetts her
second husband caught cold and he
died in less than Q year. She. was mar
ried again on Thursday last and came
to this city yesterday. She said she in.
tended to be more careful with her pres.
ent husband than either of those who
preceded him, and thst she had selected
milder weather for her bridal tour.
Husband No. 3 stood by, but did not
have much to say, except that he was
much pleased with the looks of the
president and everything he had seen so
far in Washington.

In Defence ofDay.

The attack upon Hon. M. "a. Day
through the associated press, which the
Argus declines to publish looks like a
~preconoerted movement to stir up dis
sensions at home. MIR. Day seems to be q

Many are the newspaper CRITICISMS
upon the conduct of NJ. 81. Day, reflect
ing upon his action at Washington in
connection with appointments, etc.
Commodore Marratta speaks very highly
OF MI. Day. lie asserts that M. 81. Day
is not doing any Office brokerage bust
ness there as has been charged, and that
he has known of several instances where

to have returned, declining 10 receive

Free Trade Reformers.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE national con-

the Inter Ocean building shortly after
10 o'clock this morning. Some 200
delegates from all parts of the country
we're In attendance. The conference
was called tc order by the president,

l. N. Stiles, of Chicago, delivered an ad-
dress of welcome. Routine business
was transacted, after which the re-
port and address of R. r. Bowker, honor
airy secretary of the conference, was
read. Bowker stated that there were
state organizations in behalf of revenue
reform in thirteen states and local or
CARNATIONS in many other states. Most
of these are in relation, with the Amerl-
can Free Trade league which ID now or.
ganized as a national association. Bow.
ker hoped this conference would select
q man from each state who would be.
come a promoter of the organization
throughout his state and its general
representative in relation to the free

Huron claims the Capital,

Huron, Nov. l0-The official vote O.
Beadle county, as canvassed to-day, is
For the constitution, 2,02l; against. $50.
for prohibition, 1901; against, 1880; TO,
minority representation, 1852; against
TAI; for capital, Huron, 1871; Pierre, IA;
MelIette, for governor, 2,134; no opposi.
ton.
Pierre's claims of having won the
capital are 30 ridiculous that it is hardly
worth noticing. 1t says that they have
it by 500 or more. Comparing the
figures of dozen counties es printed in
last nights Free Press with Just what
we positively know to be the correct
footings, and Huron gains in each of
these counties. They give q total of
2,469 in Huron's favor. Pierre claims in
its list a solid vote of 100 for itself in
the Black Hills, which is about as ridicu-
lous as its other figures. A majority of
700 in these counties is part of its figures.
This in not believed either. Huron has
the facts and figures to prove its claims
of who is actually the capital.

Mills on Fire.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Empire
Plaster mills numbers 81 and 90 Bethun
street, a six story brick building owned
by August Isaacs & Bros, caught fire
between three and four this morning,
and was almost completely. destroyed in
less than an hour. When the fire was
discovered the alarm was sent out at
once and in about fiftsen minutes the
fire broke out and while the fremen
were engaged in stretching a hose to
the building a cloud of dense, thick
smoke senveloped them. They had
lust time to jump backwards
IN the hallway, when the
whole end of the building
n the rear fell in, and
n%eighboring yards were covered with a
mass of bricks, plaster and machinery.
The noise made by the falling walls
gave the people living in the surround
ing buildings the idea that an explosion
had occurred and that added to their ter
ror. It was..fortunate however, that these
walls fell in at such an early stage of the
fire, otherwise 1.-the buildings on Bank
street would have been in great danger.
By dint of hard work the fire was con.
fined to the plaster mill and none of the
surrounding houses was damaged to any
extent. Isaac estimates his loss on
building, stock and machinery at $780,
600. AS far as known no one was in
jured.
