THE case Of Buffers VS.. Buffers.
recently adjudlcated In England.
may have depressing effect upon
the Sioux Falls real estate market.
1t will have tendency to impair the
value OF South Dakota divorces, and
upon the divorce industry the pros
perity of Sioux Falls Is largely based,
as everybody knows. Mr.. Buffers,
an English gentleman who had lived
unhappily with his wife. chiefly be-
cause he had contracted the habit OF
lying awake nights to contrive plans
for making said wife's life miserable,
went to South Dakota and settled in
Sioux Falls, there to dwell for the
statutory period and then return to
England unhampercd by matrimonial
shackles. He succeeded, and upon
arrival in England married Miss
Gregory. 1t was the discarded wife's
turn then, and she proceeded straight
way to make IL warm for the gay and
festive Buffers aforesaid. She quiet
ly brought suit against him for a dis
solution OF their marriage on the
grounds Of bigamy and adultery.
Buffers pleaded his South Dakota
divorce, but the courts declined to
recognize the decree and found for
Mrs. Buffers No. /. This will have
a tendency to diminish Sioux Falls
exports, but 1t won't affect the home
market In the least. Nevertheless a
great deal OF embarrassment would
be avoided II we could have recip-
rocity treaties with the principal Eu-
ropean governments in this matter.
Sioux Falls doesn't wish to be placed
in the position OF obtaining money
under false pretenses, and would real
ly like to be able to warrant every
decree issued there to keep in any
climate.

Curious Marriage Statistics.

A German statistician has recently
published the results Of his investi-
CATION Of the relative ages of hus-
bands and wives in the various cap
itals of Europe.
He ascertained that marriages are
the most frequent where the husband
is two or three years older than the
wife. Women under 20 years of age,
however, usually take unto them
selves husbands six or seven years
older than themselves. The cases IN
which the man was year younger
than the woman were almost as
numerous as those in which he was
six or seven years older. The first
condition was true of 6.7 per cent. of
all married couples and the latter
condition OF Ga per cent. The cases
where the husband was six or seven
years younger than the wife were also
Just as numerous as those where he
was thirteen or fourteen years older.
Only two cases were discovered where
the husband was thirty-five years the
senior; one case where he was forty
seven years older, and one case where
he was older by fOrty-six years. One
case was discovered where the wife
was thirty-four years older than the
husband. Twelve and three-tenths
per cent. Of all men who marry
wsmen under 20 years OF age, accord
ing to the statistician, are between
.26 and 81 years old. Boston Courier.

A King Killed by fright.

One OF the most remarkable in
stances in history of death by fright
Is that of King Frederick l. of
Prussia He was actually scared TO
death by his wife. He was one day
sleeping in an armchair when his
Queen, Louisa of Mecklenberg, who
had been hopelessly insane for some
time, escaped from her keepers, and
made her way TO his private
apartments. As mentioned above,
Frederick was doing when his wife,
dressed in a pure white gown, dashed
through the plate glass in the door, and
threw herself in raging delirium
upon him. In breaking the glass
she, Of course, cut herself most hor-
rlbly. The King had not been APP
prised OF the hopelessness of her
case, and was astonished beyond
measure at the appearance of the
woman, clad only in linen a1d COW
cred with blood. His shrieks
aroused the whole palace, but, when
she had been secured, the King him
self was found TO be in raging de-
lirium. From this he never recov-
cred, buv died trying to hide from
terrible phantoms.--St. Louis Re

There was a deep silence, but no
one moved.
Il know the man." the Colonel con-
tinued, "and he can gain nothing by
keeping silent / order him to step
forward at once"
There was another moment Of sus-
pense and then Iams advanced two
PAGES, saluted respectfully, and stood
at attention. Col. Steator advanced
to where Iams stood, took out his
penknife, and, amid the most pro-
found silence, cut the buttons from
the soldiers uniform. When he had
finished he retired few PAGES.
Corporal of Company X" called
the Colonel. A corporal advanced
and saluted. "Take a guard and
take this man to the guard tent. Ask
the surgeons to stand by, and string
this man up by his thumbs until he
can stand 1t no longer"
Iams, who up to this point had
stood flushing but entirely self-pOs-
sessed, turned the color Of chalk and
trembled, but he never flinched.
Three regimental surgeons followed
Iams to the guard tent. The young
man soon regained his self-possession
and held out his thumbs for one of
his fellow soldiers to tie. A stout
piece OF Irvine was tied tightly to
each thumb and Iams raised his arms
while the corporal drew the line over
the tent pole. The cord was pulled
by three men until Iams stood on tip

ute after minute passed, and his
pulse beats were constantly incrcas-

A surgeon held him firmly while the
soldiers cut the cord. The young
man fell into his arms and was laid
gently on the ground. His eyes
opened soon, and Iams sale: Let me

They covered him with a blanket
and withdrew, and Iams lay there in

General Snowden. General Snowden
read IL over carefully and Endorsed IL:
DISMISS this man In disgrace from
your regiment and drum him out Of
camp tomorrow morning.
These were written orders. But to
the orderly he added: Tell Colonel
Hawkins TO have the mans head
shaved on one side before he is dis
missed
Early in the morning the pro-
vjsional brigade under the command
OF Colonel Hawkins was ordered to
assemble on parade. Three regiments
OF infantry and a battery OF artillery
turned out and drew up in two lines
facing each other on the parade
ground. The disgraced soldier was
brought out by corporal guard.
The corporal turned him over to a
lieutenant, who with twenty men
proceeded to march him from one
end of the parade ground to the other
and then back again. The soldiers
looked at him cqrlously, but there
was no anger or displeasure in their
glances- They all pitied him. He
was brought before Col. Hawkins,
and an adjutant proceeded TO read
the report which had been submitted
to Gen. Snowden and the orders
which the General had given. Iams
listened to it with an air of indiffer-
ence. His face betrayed no emotion
whatever. When 1t was finished Col.
Hawkins said to him: "My man, this
has been an exceedingly painful duty
for me to perform, but l think the
punishment was just. You are now
discharged In disgrace from the SER
vice. You will be escorted to the
limits of the camp. II you ever dare
enter it again you will be summarily
dealt with"
The regimental drum corps then
fell in line and began playing the
"Rogue's March" Iams was ordered
to march behind them, and he was
followed by his regiment. This strange
parade moved over the hilltop and
down as far as the railroad station,
where Iams was put aboard a train
for home.

Not Quite Accurate.

The daily newspapers are just now
going through a fire OF criticism for
inaccuracy. Many Of them deserve
1t. The slipshod way in which some
times "news" Is reported is disgrace
TO the noble profession Of journalism.
A ludicrous illustration of this oc-
CURED In a Western journal, and it
might be duplicated in a hundred
other papers.
The evening edition of this jour
nal printed this item Of local news
under the heading, Serious Acct
dent"
Yesterday afternoon the little son
of John b. Harris, while playing in
the street, was run over by a heavy
load of hay. His right arm and ankle
were broken, and he was otherwise
seriously injured. The Rev. John
McGuffy saw the accident, and car
ried the boy to his home. Doctors
Smith and Jones were summoned,
and set the broken arm and leg, but
fears are entertained that the poor
boy will not recover"
The next day the editor OF this
journal received the following letter,
which, however, he did not publish
in his paper:
Il was much interested in reading
in yesterdays paper the account of a
serious accident. 1t was a good de-
scription of heavy load of hay, but
permit me to make a few little cor
rections as to the rest of the account.
Il presume / am the gentleman
referred to as the Rev. John McGuffy.
My name is Henry McGrath, and l
am minister, and / picked up boy
who was hurt by hay-wagpn yes
terday.
$50 far, the newspaper account Is
pretty close to the facts. But you
will allow me to say that the boys
ankle was not broken, nor his right
arm, neither did he sustain any seri-
Gus injuries. His little toe was run
over and the flesh taken from the
bone, and that was all.
ALLOW me also to suggest that the
boys name was not Harris, but
Hurst, and his fathers name is not
John B., but William II. 1 would
also like to say that neither DIR.
| Smith nor DIR. Jones was summoned.
DIR. Robinson, who lives near by, was
called, and successfully bound up the
injured toe, and the boy Is doing
well, and will be playing in the
street In day or two. YOUTHS
