A DR.. Young was also present, and the
room was full of cigarette smoke, while
empty beer bottles were scattered
around. He objected, but his wife told
him they were going to stay there all
night. She claimed she was sick. Much
time was occupied by the witness in re-
lating the numerous QuarrelS. Some OF
them proved very entertaining, but were
not OF sensational nature. Their mar
ried life at Bismarck was one continual
quarrel. Parker claimed that his wife
had too much male company, and when
he demonstrated she got mad aud said
she would tell them not to call again,
but she never did.
Parker'S account of catching his wife
with T. p. Heron made one of the most
sensational features of the day. He re-
lated how on that occasion he had his
suspicious aroused.
Il ran home and put barrel up to
the window" he said. "The curtain
was raised a little. and then the first
one to come in was Heron. Then my
wife came in and said: oh! you beat
me here Then he took her hand and
tried to pull her oyer on his lap, but she
wanted to pull the blind down. but he
| wouldn't let her, and he pulled her over

cursed him, and we agreed that he
should marry the sister, and l would

didn't he would have to leave town. He
promised to. and [ sent the telegram
and he went to the bank.
Later Heron admitted under press
ure that my wife had left party earl!
in the evening. and gone to his room
and staid there with him until she came
home. 1t was agreed that my wife
sister should come on and she ant
Heron be married.
In the afternoon the scene shifted
from Bismarck to this city. The wit
ness then told about his wlfe's acting a

PHARIsAICAL DEVIL.
A Procuress Masquerades as g
Christian Worker.


Supt. Henderson says that he has
had no information as to the actions of
an alleged sanctimonious female pro-
curess i'll Minneapolis. If the Home for
the Friendless have any information on
the matter they have not given him their
confidence. The story has been circu-
lated that a female who prefaces more
intimate acquaintance by reading Bihli-
cal selections and fervently praying,
made tour through certain portions of
the city in quest of a Christian girl to
take home, agreeing to furnish her one
of the best homes in the city. A serv-
ant girl named Peterson believed in her
and was driven to this home, which
proved not to be Christian home but a
vile den. Her spirited demands to be
taken back to her former home resulted
in much confusion among those who
conspired to ruin her, and she was at
length driven to an obscure part of the
city and dumped. She notified j. HI.
Bowber, of the Home of the Friendless,
who will investigate the matter. The
alleged procuress wore a veil, and can
not be identified by her facial appear

Two of the foremost linen manu-

to-day. The business mems union pro-
pose that the city shall profit by the adj
vent. They come to inquire into the
claim that Minneapolis promises to be-
come the leading linen manufacturing

seemingly, indigenous. 1t grows lux
uriant and strong, and with the state
aid that is offered it promises to soon
become one of the important products
of the state.

visitors, when the members will do all
they can to point out the advant ages of

VISITED BY DEATH.
Mrs. Allen G. Thurman and James
Parton at Rest.

IbCSts
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 17.-The cOndi-
ton of Mrs. Thurman changed for the
worst last night. During most of the
past week she had been in an uncon-
scious state, rallying occasionally. For
some time past there has been but
little hopes entertained of her recovery.
She was the victim of la grippe during
the winter, and never recovered from
the attack. Advanced age prevented
her from ever regaining her accus-
toned strength. Mrs. Thurman
was universally loved. a great
point in her character was her
remarkable beneyoIence. She was
continually caring for the sick and
needy and was always found ready to
contribute to worthy cause. She
never identified herself with any church
but was church-going woman and al
ways engaged in charity work. Mrs.
Thurman was born in Chillicothe i'll
1911, and her maiden name was Mary
Dun. Her father, Walter Dun,
was wealthy land owner and merchant
at that place. While Mary was yet
young lady her father moved to Lex
ington, Ky. Here she married Mr..
Tomkins, buthe died after few yea rs.
leaving one daughter, Nancy. She was
married to Judge Thurman in No
vember 1874, and has been his almost
constant companion and helpmate since
during his long professional and public
career. Judge Thurman is much eu-
feebled and broken down. and il is the
opinion of those who know him best ana
understand his condition that he will
Dot long survive the death of his wife.
