Desirable Plnce to Live.

The Madison, South Dakota Daily
Leader of July 2, contained the following
personal mention of two Topeka boys:
deputy Sheriff McGovern is enjoying y
visit from two former Grant county
friends, Max and Ray Wardall, sons of
Alonzo Wardall. formerly of this state.
The boys came up from Topeka, Kansas,
their present home and are on their way
to Huron, their former home to visit a
brother. The boys have travelled con-
siderably in the past two years from
Dakota to the gulf, but think Topeka the
finest city in the west. 1t is a very beau
tiful city of 10000 population and not a
saloon or "blind pig" in it, desirable
nIaca to live"

EUsTIS LAUGHS ALONE.

The London Chronicle Sees No Occasion
for the Minister'S Merriment.
LONDON, July 12.-The Chronicle this
morning has an article commenting on
United States Ambassador Eustis' expla-
nation of his talk with representative
of the Paris Figaro. The Chronicle says:
"If he is really laughing all we can
say is that he is the only
person to whom the incident presents
itself as a subject for merriment We
need hardly say that it would be impossi-
BILE for him to admit that he expressed
such an opinion and retain his post.
The Chronicles editorial concludes
that NJ. Reuter- is evidently gentleman
of considerable astuteness and that is
more than anyone can say for Mr..
Eustis.

THE REFORMATORx BOARD.
The Morning Fake Organ Off Wrong as

The Morning Fake Organ Off Wrong as
Usual and 4S Hours Behind.
The unreliable morning sheet was this
morning compelled to admit the truth
fulness of an item of news which was
printed in the STATE JOURNAL two days
ago.
The JOURNAL Wednesday evening
published the news that Governor Nor
rill had decided to remove the three
members of the Hutchinson reformatory
board and that they would first be given
an opportunity to resign.
Yesterday morning the unreliable
morning sheet proclaimed the announce
ment that the JOURNAL was wrong, but
this morning it admits that Governor
Morrill, has done just what the STATE
JOURNAL said he would do and if the re-
formatory directors don't resign today
charges will be filed against them and
they will be removed for cause.

TROUBLE WITH WASHOUTs

The Santa Fe Loses Bridges and Track in
New Mexico.
The Santa Fe is having a good deal of
trouble with washouts on its line in New
Mexico. Nearly all the trouble is south
of Las Vegas. Several pile bridges have
been washed out and the soft track has
been washed out in many places. All
the streams are bank full and a large
amount of the track is under water.
Trains are being run, though they are
necessarily delayed and it is often neces-
sary to transfer cargos to get along at all.

mend it to all We opened the package
as directed and put the right amount in
the right amount of water, and the re-
suit was all we could expect, for it made
it just lovely and soft, every bit as good
as rain water. Our we'll water is very
hard, there being alkali in it, and you
CAN'T imagine how surprised we were
when the water became so soft and vel
vety. We washed some calicoes with
this preparation and it set the colors fast
and made them as bright as new. Rirk's
Rain Water Maker is undoubtedly the
best preparation made and hope to al
ways keep supply on hand"

THREE DIVORCES GRANTED.

Unhappy Couples Who Could Not Live
Together Peacefully Separated.
Three divorces were granted yester-
day by the court. Phemia Jubuski was
separated from her husband. Theodore,
to whom she was married on Jan. 81,
1894, at Mayfield by the Rev. Theopan
Obuscavidge, Greek Catholic priest of
Olyphant. After living together fort
night the husband began a system of
brutal treatment. He prevented her
from going to the grocery store and
used to lock up everything belonging to
her. They separated and came to-
gether again, but could not agree. The
second time he used to beat her and
call her vile names. She went living
with him the third time, but with no
better success.
John j. Morgan was freed from his
wife Margaret. They We're welded at
Washingtonville. Ohio. on Nov. 3, 1887,
and lived together two years. She de-
serted her home then and the libellant
has not seen her since.
Elizabeth NJ. Daniels is no longer
bound by the ties that bound her 10
Richard T.. Daniels at Binghamton on
Christmas Day. 1885, They did not
have much peace from the date of their
union until Daniels deserted her In 1880.

set up against the plaintiff. Next the
affidavit was offered, which made
charges aginst the late Judge John f.
Connolly for setting aside the verdict.
That charge was made and could not
be substantiated; nor even was 1t shown
that the semblance of suspicion rested
on the dead judge.
Judge Connolly's Remarks Quoted.
The remarks of Judge Connolly in
setting aside the verdict was offered in
argument. They We're to the effect that
the verdict was set aside because it was
against the evidence and was excess
sive. The answer of Major Everett
Warren to the application or a change
of venue in 1898 was offered. In that
answer Major Warren said that the
plaintiffs had made unwarranted and
false accusations against the court and
any comment made by the newspapers
was warranted by the malicious and
wilfully false statements of the plain
tiff's attorney.
These papers We're offered for the
purpose of showing that there prevails
a general sentiment against Smith and
Jennings in this county. Attorneys
John p. Kelley and Jospeh O'Brien rep
resented Mr.. Burns and they, objected
to the reception of the papers as argu-
ment on the ground that they had no
materiality or competency to the case
which was being argued. There were
no afildavi.s filed on the part of Mr.
Burns, ii not having been thought nee
eSsary to do so.
Judge Edwards said the court would
take the papers and give them the full
est consideration. The position of MIR.
Burns attorneys is that there is suf-
ficient refutation in the immateriality
of the argument of Smith and that he
court will readily discover this when
they are passed upon.
Mr.. Smith at first wanted to have the
court send for a s.enographer. but this
the court refused to do. Smith said the
case might have to go to the Supreme
court and he wanted to have the record
Judge Edwards told Smith to try the
case here first.

well taken the lower branch will meet

Mr.. Nealis also pitched into City En-
gineer Phillips again for not making a
report on the resolution directing him
to secure options on the Davies and
Allen properties on North Main ave-
nue.. which Mr.. Nealis intends to con-
vert into public park. A resolution
fathered by Mr.. Nealis, demanding
report from Mr.. Phillips was adopted.
Result Of the Star Chamber Session.
The Judiciary committee reported ad-
versely the resolution authorizing the
CITY solicitor to take an appeal from the
report of the viewers on the damages
incurred in grading New street. Coun-
Gil adopted the report. This committee
also reported favorably the resolution
reducing the assessors salary to s4OO a
year.
The taxes committee reported favor
ably and council approved resolution
exonerating all firemen, paid and vol
unteer, who have seen three years ac-
tive service, from occupation tax.
Among the new measures introduced
were a resolution providing for the
opening Of Birch street from It's present
terminus to Washington avenue. and an
ordinance providing for an additional
permanent man for the Phoenix COM
pany.
The ordinance increasing the salary
of paid firemen to $50 month passed

for the purchase of land for. the extern
