LINCOLN AND BILL M'KINLEY
They May Lead the Republican
Hosts In 1896.
Robert Is Looked Upon as a Tower o.
Strength In Illinois and ths Protection
Prophet Is Needsd TO Save tbs
Buckeye State.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Robert L.
Lincoln has been in the country hardly
a week, yet he is honored by the papers
here with an able-bodied presidential
boomlet. 1t is stated that many re-
publican leaders look upon Mr.. Lin
colin as the man to bring back Illinois
to the republican fold.
According to the story, the repub-
lican leaders are casting about for some
plan OF reorganization which will give
them new leaders on new lines. They
are anxious to strengthen themselves
in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. The loss
of the first two states and the narrow
escape Of the other last fall indicated
the locality of their weakness. They
hope to redeem themselves at the next
ensuing state elections. They count on
the disappointments growing out of the
distribution of marshals, fourth-class
postoffices and other patronage to
weaken the democrats in the next To-.
cal elections, and thus they expect TO
excite the party to activity.
They are looking with great deal
of interest to the election of governor
In Ohio. They expect to elect Mckin-
ley governor. possibly over Campbell,
and ont of this some of them let their
inaginations draw picture of presi-
Dental campaign to come with McKin-
ley and Robert Lincoln on their ticket
to hold Ohio and Illinois, and possibly
through the dissatisfied feeling among
the democrats In Indiana to give u
republican victory in Indiana.
Whether the ticket should read Nc
Kinley and Lincoln or Lincoln and Nc
Kinley is said TO make no material diff.
ference, as either way will make ths
ticket strong. 1t is being Suggested
also by the local wiseacres that the pos.
sibility of an Illinois man coming On
first or second place on the democratic
ticket adds to the availability of Mr..
Lincoln. AT all events the Lincoln
boom has been started on its rounds
by the Washington prophets and 1t
will likely be source of prolific com

A Ferry Boat incident.

AT THE eleventh HOUR.
A Gray Haired Millionaire Wants Dvofcv
at so Years.

Sioux FALLS, s. D., June 5.-William
Moore, u millionaire woolen manufac-
turer, of Cohoes, n. L., has applied for
a divorce from his wife, Maria, but the
chances are that he will have a very
robust fight on his hands before he
sees his decree. Mrs. Moore has served
a spirited answer and the case is likely
to be one of the most sensational in
the history Of divorce trials in South
Dakota. The parties TO the suit were
married forty years ago. Moore is 60
years old and his wife 65. Moore al
leges desertion, but his wife says that
it is not SO and that she can prove il.
During the summer of 1891 Mrs. Moore
says at her husbands request she went
on visit to her daughter in Carolina.
Soon after her arrival there she says
she was presented with a paper with
the request that she sign 1t. Il was
paper of separation. She signed it
but did not turn 1t over TO Moore.
When she returned she found all the
household furniture and the house unfit
for habitatlon. Since then the couple
have not lived together. In October 1892,
she says her husband began an action
for divorce from her at Albany alleging
adultery with people she had never
seen or heard of. When she put in an
appearance her husband dropped the
case and paid the costs In her answer
she also alleges that Moore has been
guilty of adultery with woman
named Emma Tierney. by whom she
says he has an illegitimate child. She
further declares that Moore is still sup
porting the Tierney woman and her
child. In her answer she claims that
Moore is worth $500, 900, though there
is reason for the belief that he has a
fortune which passes the million mark.
