SNAPPED AWAY HIS WIFE.
Gave Her In Exchange For Farmer Thomp-
sons Daughter.

sons Daughter.
The very unusual story Of swapping
daughter for wife is reported from
Toledo, Wash. A farmer named Thomp-
son lost his wife short time ago. She
left him little baby girl. The child he
took to a neighbor of the name of Put
nam to be cared for. Of course frequent
visits were made to see how the baby
was getting along.
Mrs. Putnam was quite q comely per-
son and very soon attracted the atten-
tion of the widowed farmer. Then he
soon learned to love her; but, worst OF
all, his love was reciprCcated. The hus-
band discovered the situation. The low
ers naturally expected scene, but there
was none.
Instead Of making the neighboring
hills resound with jealous rage Putnam
called upon Thompson, and they dis
cussed the matter in businesslike
manner Putnam professed to be tired
of his wife and said he would as lief
that some other fellow would take her
away as not, but he wanted something
in return. He wanted some one around
the house to minister to his wants, some
one he could learn to love. Thompson
had daughter who suited him very
we'll, and if it was just the same he
was willing to trade his wife for her.
That suited Thompson, and the girl too.
So bargain was struck and the ex'
change made. Thompson and Mrs. Put
nam went TO Aberdeen and the girl tC
Castle Rock. New York World.

PARIS GARTER SHOW
AN ExHiBlTiCS THAT Is ATTRACTING
GREAT ATTENTION..
Garters Said to Have Been Worn by Nell

brated Women on Exhibition.

A private letter from Paris says:
"A somewhat unique exhibition ap-
pears in shop in the Boulevard Made
leine. 1t is garter show and attracts
big crowds. Carriers that are alleged to
have been the property of celebrated
women are exhibited, and these bejew-
eled articles of dress afford ample evil
dence that ornate garters are not mod
ern fancy only. Some of them furnish
interesting information regarding the
women whose beauty of face and figure
has been celebrated.
Nell Gwynne's garters are quite
elaborate and noticeable for their very
ample proportions. They are of white
sheepskin and ornamented with red
gold roses and have golden clasps.
Sarah Bernhardt is commonly supposed
to be a woman Of rather slender pro-
portions, but the satin elastics bedecked
with pearls which are said to have been
once her property show that at least her
neither limbs are Of goodly proportions.
"The pair that attracts the most at
tention are vouched for as having been
worn by Mary Stuart. They are pale
red. somewhat faded, and have silver
buckles. They are much worn. The
shopkeeper has had constructed pair
of wax limbs calculated from the size
of garters to be all accurate counterfeit
of those for which the garters once did
service If that be the case, the orig
| inals were indeed of a creditable size.
Just opposite, in respect to this
latter feature. are the pair that were
once worn by the Princess of Wales.
They are plain and have very slight
ornamentation.
"There is in the collection life size

Marveilleuse, the ultra Parisians, who

The South Right In It.

The south, equally with the west,
will have a really enormous corn crop
this year, far in excess Of any in its
history. According to present prospects,
it will be from 600, 900, 900 to $50. .OO0,-
900 bushels, worth about $500, 900, 900.
Indeed every crop in the south, with
the exception of cotton, will be unprec-
edentedly large this year, and although
the cotton crop will be smaller than
usual it's money value will be above the
average.

Married and Divorced Her Four Times.

Thomas Courtney is one Of Montgom-

lives near Waynetown, Ind, but his
married life has been rather trouble
some. He has been married to his pres

times, and his wife now makes applica-

fourth divorce, also $4,000 alimony.
The other cases cost considerable money,

All except the most depraved cynics

supposed to be trained to rescue belated

beasts, which everybody has been told
possess fidelity more than human, have
been accused Of base treachery BY GER

The Herald has it from indisputable,

long been near friends, and John c..

has been patched up, the reasons be-.
ing their mutual opposition to Mr.
Reed.
In the Minneapolis convention Mr.
Lincoln was, as he is now, the for
mer presidents first choice, and he
it is whom the Harrison men will
support in case they see no chances
to stampede the nomination into
their own corral. The New York
custodian of the Lincoln boom is ex-
Postmaster. General Thomas L..
James, who is now in Europe. Mr..
James states that before he sailed.

the united support of the Tennessee.

and that he would be the second
choice of several Southern and a

NEWS OWN VIEWS.
Indianians DIDN'T Speak for Har-s
risOn.


WASHINGTON, Sept. so.-The re-
cent interview with Gen. John c.
New stating that Mr.. Harrison was
not a candidate for the presidential
nomination, and that the ex-president
would not select Mr.. Mckinley or Mr..
Reed if his advice were asked, has at
traeted marked attention in Washing
ton among those who have been close
ly and officially connected with Mr..
Harrison. Several Of these gentlemen,
including a member of the Harrison
cabinet, conferred today. with a view
to correcting any misrepresentation
that may have arisen: AS result
it was determined that Gen. L. 7.
Kitchener, who with Gen. New, was
in charge of the interests of Mr. Har-
rison at the last Republican national
convention, would be asekd to make
a statement. Gen. Michener's state-
ment, as tonight given to the Asso-
ciated Press, is as follows:
81 think Mr.. New has been mis-
quoted. The public certainly under
stands by this time that Gen. Harri-s
son is in no sense a candidate for,
the nomination. Not being in the
field, there is nothing to withdraw
from. That he would not select either
Gov. Mckinley or Mr.. Reed, if his add
vice were asked, is simply the opin-
ion of Mr.. New, If correctly quoted,
and it should not be taken as express
ing the sentiments of the ex-presi-
dent The making of candidates is an
art that he never practiced in the
past, nor is he likely to engage in it
at this time,
"The guesses, or views, or opinions,
of his friends should be treated as
such, and for anything definite, accu-
rate or weighty it would be well to
await such expressions or actions, as
Gen. Harrison may see proper to give

DAKOTA LAKES DRYING UP.
Nothing but a Heavy Fall of Snow
VIII Restore Them


VIII Restore Them.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Sept. 3d.
Unless considerably more than the US
ual amount of snow should fall dur
ing the coming winter several lakes,
which a few years ago were the larg-
est in the state, will become dry, no
tably among which is Lake Kampes-
ka, heretofore a fine body of water,
near the city Of Watertown. A sister
lake to Kampeska, known as Pelican
lake, has become entirely dry, and
Kampeska is at a lower stage than
ever before.
Should this lake be overtaken by the
same fate which has befallen scores
of other lakes in the state, the water
supply of Watertown would be shut
off, and where to find a substitute
would be a problem not easily solved.
What has been the most beautiful and
healthful pleasure resort in the state
would be thing of the past.
Commencing two or three years af-
ter what is known as the "big snow"
of the winter of 1SS0-8 the numerous
fine lakes in the state have been grad
ually drying up. This county had a
fine body of water known as Red lake,
covering between 1900 and 5000 acres
of land, but this and scores of others
in the state are now entirely dry and
the beds are being used for agricul-
benefit,
A heavy fall of snow the coming
winter would restore many of these
to their normal stage. Besides snow
there is no relief, as rain does not fall
in sufficient quantities to be of any
ture.

QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Can One BE Born IN America and
Not He am Americana

Can One BE Born In America and
Not BE am Americana
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. So,
The question as to whether a Chinese
born on American soil is a citizen OF
the United States is to be tested in the
courts. Wong Kim Ark came here re-
Gently from China, demanding a Land
ing on the ground that he is a native
of California. The collector of the
port, while admitting his nativity, re-
fused him landing, claiming he, is not
an American citizen. This decision
was in accordance with an arrange
ment already made with the attorney
general, who is anxious 20 test the
right of native-born Chinese to land
here. According to the contention of
the government a person born in the
United States must not be at the
tinae of his birth subject te. any for
eign power, thus making It indispensa-
BILE to citizenship by birth that the
parent be an American citizen, for IL
the father be alien the child will he
subject to the country of the sire. In
other words, to be an American by
birth one must be born in America and
of American parents. If this conten-
ton of the government is upheld the
standing Of all people horn in the
United States OF alien parents win be
greatly affected. If the decision in
the local court is NOT Favorable to the
government the case win be taken to
the United States court.

VIII Rebuild the Daisy.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 30.-Arrange-
ments are already being made to re-
build the elevator of the Daisy mill
even before the 175,000 bushels of wheat
stopped smoldering. Active operations
will begin as soon as the insurance is
adjusted. 1t is thought that consid-
erable amount of the damaged wheat
can be utilized, as it is still good for
some purposes. When the elevator
system burned in Duluth some years
ago, the wheat was even pumped from
the bottom of the lake and the salvage
amounted to over 100000. The en-
forced idleness of the Daisy mill at a
time when there is good margin on
flour is an additional incentive for re-
building the plant, and it Is thought
the work can be completed in sixty
DAYS.
