to Vance and he growled: mo, sir.
I'll recommend no woman for place"
I argued and pleaded with him. finally
saying: But. senator. this is a very
deserving woman. She is old and un-
fitted for the struggle for existence.
Her husband served in my command
through the war and he was u splendid
soldier. He died on the field aud left
his wife penniless. Do good deed; |;

heart was melted aud he exclaimed: {:

Divorced From the Professor,

SIOUX FALLS, $. d., Sept. 1l.-Mrs.
Ellen Webbcr, pilgrim from the
east who joined the Dakota divorce
colony in January, received her decree
yesterday. Professor c. |. Webber, of
l6l fremont street, Boston, an in
structor in music and concert opera,
was married in July, 1882, to Miss
Ellen Wordsworth, daughter of Mrs.
Wordsworth. Of Palmyra, n. Y. In
1887 the professor bundled his wife off
to Europe that she might cultivate her
voice. While she was studying abroad
the professor paid marked attentions
TO one of Boston's beautiful women,
who was strong enough in argument to
persuade the professor that when Mrs.
Webber returned from Europe, August
Q, 1888, that there was not room for
her in the Boston home. The decree
granted compels the professor to pay
all costs incurred and 500 attorneys S
fees

THE ABE LINCOLN DRAMA.
It Will BE Produced In Chicago Tomor.
row Night.


CHICAGO, Sept. l2.-Considerablc in
terest is manifested regarding the re-
ception which will be accorded tomor-
row night at the Chicago opera house
TO the sensational drama entitled
abraham Lincoln" from the pens OF
Mckee Rankin and Archie Gordon and
which on this occasion will have its
first production in the United States
The fact that the story of the play is
written around that portion of his
eventful career between January. 1863,
and the time of his death, has evoked
n great deal of unfavorable comment
No New York theatre could be OBJ
tanned for the first production, nor
would any first-class actor of reputc
consent TO portray the character OF
Wilkes Booth, several of those APP
preached replying that they would not
insult Booth during his life time by
taking part in such n performance. A
hitherto unknown young man 10y the
name of Myron Letiingwell has finally
been pitchforlted into the part, while
Elmer Grandon will portray the char
acter of the martyred president. 1t is
said that the assassination scene, which
was TO have been one of the strong
points of the play, as well as the scene
in which Wilkes Booth has been cap
tured and shot, have been cut out.
There has been more or less comment
of an adverse kind regarding the pol
icy and decency of producing n play
based upon so sad an event in the his
tory of the nation, and consequently
the reception accorded to the affair is
expected to be more or less an evidence
of the popular feeling in this regard.

Injured In Wednesdays E,rtbnuake.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-The Herald's s
San Salvador dispatch says that about
forty persons were killed and sixty
more or less injured in the
earthquake which occurred early
Wednesday morning. Reports from
outside the city are coming
in slowly, but it is believed
that the mortality list will reach
into the hundreds The panic
has now pretty nearly subsidized
but earthquakes, by turn, feeble and
violent continue at irregular intervals.
Everybody expects the climax to come
on September 81 on account of the
equinox, as experience shows that that
phenomenon exerts great influence
on local earthquakes. 1t is not un-
likely that the city will be made a
total wreck.

NEWS OF The TWO DAKOTAS
South Dakota's Banking Law is Gre
ating Considerable Trouble.
North Dakota shippers and Elevator Mon
are Having Bitter Strugglo--One of
tho Many Applicants Gets Di-
vorce at Sioux Falls.

HURON, S. d., Sept. 11.-Among the
laws passed by the last Legislature was
one requiring private banks to incor-
porate TO this law bankers objected
and at one time an organized effort
was made to fight the law; but many
of the older institutions have lately in
corporated, and those which have
failed to do so will have to quit bust
ness. The law took effect yesterday.
Public Examiner T. Il. Blanchard, re-
Gently interviewed by correspondent,
gives the following view OF the law:
September 10 is the limit fixed by
the new banking law in which corpora
tions and individuals are allowed to
transact banking business without
organizing under and complying with
the new law of this state. AS this
time has passed it is well for bankers
to consider carefully what action
should be taken. failure to comply
with the demands of the statute is
made a misdcmeanor, punishable by Il
fine of $500 to $1,000, and should the
law be sustained by the supreme court
the offender might be indicted
at any time within three years
upon complaint of any person.
1t is not claimed by those who
oppose the law, but that the law itself
Is valid with the exception of section
81, which compels all bankers, whether
private or already incorporated, to or
gauize under the new law.
"A number of the banks already in
corporated under the general law
claim that said section is unconstitu-
tional because it requires them to reor-
ganize and become subject to condi-
tions different from those under which
they first incorporated and is an inter-
ference with their contract and vested
right by virtue of their old charter
This appears plausible upon its face,
but there Is another side in which TO
view this matter without discussing
the right Of the state by virtue of its
police power to absolutely control the
business of banking in the interest of
the public, viz: reference to section
2s9l of the compiled laws of 1887,
shows that the legislature in passing
the general incorporation law, under
which these banks now hold their char
ters, reserved the following right, viz:
Every grant of corporate power is sub
iect to alteration, suspension or repeal
in the discretion of the Legislature. 1t
will thus be seen that the legislature
has the right to repeal the old law and
to require reorganization.

A Useful Experiment Successfully Tested In

PARIS, Sept 1l.-An interesting tele-
graphing experiment has been success
fully made in connection with the ma
neuvers of the French army in the
eastern frontier. M. Willot, inspector
of posts and telegraphs, recently pre-.
sented to NJ. de Selves, director general

vention. The wagon is lightly but
strongly constructed. and is fully
equipped with the electrical and me-
chanical appliances Of different sys.
TENS of telegraphy. NJ. de Selves or
dered this travelling telegraph Office to
accompany the army on its march. and
directed the telegraph employees along
the route to contribute in every way
possible to the success of the proposed
experiment. The wagon moved with
the supply and ammunition trains, i'm
mediately behind the rear guard of the
army. BY the employment of mounted
military linemen, and the use of novel
and ingenious mechanical devices in
stringing wire from the nearest te)s-
graph station to the wagon the rear
guard of the marching troops was kept
Ia touch with the outside world. The
correspondents of the Paris press and
the foreign newspaper men accompa.
nying the army speak enthusiastically
of a service which made it possible for
them to communicate with the papers
direct from the scene of operations.

What tho knights of Labor Shall Wear and
Who to Patron
LYNN, Mass, Sept 12.--Thc National
Trade assembly No. 2i6 of the knights
of Labor, which is composed of shoe
makers throughout the country, have
issued an address to all branches of
organized labor, in which they refer to
the necessity of recognizing the shoe
workers label and request that COM
mittees be appointed in every city and
town to increase the demand for union
made goods. The address says: Have
resolutions passed by your respective
branches to the effect that you will not
buy, and will advise your friends not
to buy, boots and shoes not bearing the
shoe workers label. Have the resolu-
tions printed in the local papers
in your city or town when pos
sible. Wear no shoes, neither
allow your family TO wear them, that
do not bear the label Remember
that shoes cost no more with the
label than without il, and
are far better in workmanship
than non-union made goods. The car
penter does not make shoes, but he
hopes some day to procure employ
ment by building houses for shoe
makers; and II he does not protect the
shoemaker, the shoemaker's wages
will be so reduced that there will be
no house to build for him, because the
price paid for his labor is so low that IL
Is barely possible for him to exist, to
say nothing about having n house to
build. IL the shoemaker is not well
paid he cannot smoke cigars, and,
therefore, there is falling off in the
sale of cigars; and the cigarmaker is
short of work, and his family must be
deprived of many comforts which they
might have enjoyed had the wages of
other trades not been reduced Many
other cases might be cited, but deem
these illustrations sufficient to show
the relations which we bear toward
each other. Help us and we will he
able, by maintaining fair rate of
wages, TO help and assist all others.

under consideration the matter of what
shall be done with the $1,000, 600 of

the entire amount, and that they are
considering plan by which it can be

An Earlier Report.


CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-An evening paper
says that Vera Ava is none other than
Ann O'Dclia Diss Debar, the spook
priestess, of New York She was seen
on the street and recognized by a
New York newspaper woman, who
called on the chief detective and told
him of her discovery. The description
Of Anna O'Delia tallies exactly with
that OF Miss Ava. According to the
New York lady, the notorious spiritual
list carries a stock of wigs and other
makeups and has lately been travelling
across the country swindling gullible
church people. The police have no
doubt from the statement given by the
lady that the woman Is Miss Debar
This opinion is strengthened by infor-
nation from other sources.
Her actions in Chicago have been
very suspicious and mysterious, which
would indicate that she is either insane
or very dishonest. Some, however, are
inclined to discredit the story of the
evening paper that Miss Vera Ava is
Miss Diss Debar. A late telegram from
ehC III tHdJ
city stopping at leading hotel The
case at best is mystery. At Cincin-
natl the woman said she was
Roman Catholic and was start
ing four homes for homeless,
degraded Children in Chicago
This displeased Archbishop Feehan,
who ordered her to nunnery. She
refused to go. He then ordered her TO
appear before council at Jesuit col
lege church Wednesday. She went in
n carriage, accompanied by Mrs. Boil
ton. On entering the church she
found Archbishop Feehan and Father
Kelly present. They presented her
a paper, which they told her to sign.
She refused, saying that as future
American citizen she meant to use her
money as she pleased. Thereupon
Father Kelly arose and said "This
has gone far enough" At that mo-
ment two two men came in at side
door and threw a cloth over her face.
After that she knew nothing more
until she felt as il she was on lake.
She thinks that was last night and
that she had been overdosed with
chloroform, water being applied as a
restorative. The next she remembers
was at o'clock yesterday afternoon
when she was taken from the depot in
a carriage to a certain place in this
city, though she did not know what
city II was.
