Mrs. Fink, Iate OF Doilairs, Loses $780, 0o

Tho nows comes by way Of Chicago
papers that Mrs. Elizabeth F. Fink,
widow OF Captain John Fink, formerly
a resident Of Eollaire and, we'll known
to nearly everybody %horeaboutS, has
! been iceccd out Of a fortune Of $4,000
or $4,000 by s%harpers. The story as
told Is that she was induced to take
$4,000 stock in a mining company Ia
Colorado that was said TO control two
paying mines known as the "Gracie"
aud the lack Pot" and that the lease
oil tho latter mine, when 1t did make
some showing, was allowed to lapse,
and thus reverted TO n man named 4. J.
Adams, while the company still holds
the worthless "Gracie." In addition to
this deal Mrs. Fink Is reported to have
boen swindled out OF ST., 900 more In an
egg.tltor tizzle whore wooden oggs were
used rs bait. Besides this. tho Chicago
paper Gays tho balance OF her fortune
was absorbed In other swindles where
she bought cornfield lots at $50 per

possessed OF a competence, Is to-day.

which she can call her own"
Tho Chicago papers rip the swim.
dlers up in great style aud say Mrs.
Fink lost from $4,000 to $4,000 in tho
various pulls made upon her fortune.
They also publish a letter purporting
to como from hor to a man who repre-.
sented that he wanted to buy her aharoa
in the mines in Colorado, In which sho
asks for tho result OF his Investigations
and says: 81 hope that every thing is
satisfactory and that you will buy my
stock, for | am like q drowning mar
grasping at a straw. l do so want to

Taxing the expose all through it looks
as II Mrs. Fink had lost about every
thing she had. And is said to be living

E~EcrsLArTvE BUSINESS.

Senator Aldrich of Miner has intro
duced O bill providing that no decree OF
divorce shall be- granted until the plain
tiff has had a bona fide residence in the
state OF at least six months, and that II
personal service cannot be had the de-
cree shall not be granted until the resi-
dence reaches at least a year. This IN
certain cases, would not be as long u
residence as is required by the present
law, and is therefore being backed by
strong Hobbies from the cities which
we're formerly doing a large divorce bus
mess under the law previous to two
years ago. Length OF residence determ.
ines in great measure the number OF d.
vorces applied for from abroad and
many OF our lobbyists are venal enough
TO offset the immortality involved by the
filthy lucre obtained in the practice.
Bishop Hare who was instrumental two
years ago in securing the increase OF
time in residence, it is said, will also
throw his great Influence into the tight
this year tn improve the law still further.
Senator Pettigrew sent a telegram -
the legislature thanking it for his re-
election.
A joint resolution has been introduced
TO invite the governor OF Nebraska to
unite in appointing a joint commission
from the two states to fix the boundary
between the two, touching Clay county
in this state. This is necessitatsd by
the eveI changing location OF the chan
mel Of the Missouri river.
The investigating committee still con-
tinues it's work on the Taylor defalca-
tion. The officials of the Redtield bank
have been under investigation lately
though not much new has been develop
ed. The efforts of the committee APP
pear to be directed to obtaining evidence
to cIineh the bondsmen.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader. %: The
lawyers in this city with whom the Ar
gus-Leader has talked do not seem to
agree with the attorneys in the legisla-
ture about the need of a new .constitu.
ton. They claim that the present con-
%stitution is in almost every respect a
commendable, conservative and satisfac.
tory document which was written by
able men at q time when no emergency
faced them and when the best oppor.
tunity for satisfactory work was pre-
ssnted- They contend that so far as
they are able to understand it the con-
stitutlon is all right, barring possibly
~ low limit of Indebtedness. They
argue that il this limit is too low the
legislature could much better submit it
TO the people directly as an amendment
and not 20 to the expense of a conyen-
ton in order to effect these changes.
The editor of the Argus Leader is not "a
constitutional lawyer but he remembers
well that the completed work of the last
constitutional convention was endorsed
by almost every lawyer III the state as d
model OF thoughtful and conservative
constitution making. Certain 1t is that
there should be no tinkering with the
constitution for the sake of meeting an
emergency. An emergency constitution
would never makea satisfactory perma-
nent basis for our laws. Probably all
the voters OF the state would promptly
repudiate any proposal to extend the
limit OF Indebtedness or to raise the state
levy. II may be- that the limit and the
levy are ridiculonsly low but the expert.
ence of the people has been such as to
conyince them that no matter what the
limits were their Legislators would OK.

argue that with a 4 mill levy limit i'm.

move their wraps, learns their given

Takeit all In, Theophilus, and lean

instructed it's financial committee to pro-
cure legal advice as 70 whether the
board had a cause OF action against
Commissioner Ruth. The proposition is
whether the commissioner can be held
for the interest on moneys held up by
him in 1898. 1t Is said that there was
$500 due this city that year which was
not paid over until six months after it
had beer due and payable. During this
SIX mouths the board by reason of a
failure OF duty alleged against MIR. Ruth
Was compelled to pay 1O per cent on
money, The board think they may be
entitled TO about $500 interest from Mr..
Ruth Tor the a > OF the 5000 for six
months. Lie this position should eyentu-
ally be sustained IT would, by the time
all the school boards had their innings,
bankrupt the commissioner. I
