Krempkau Wants Divorce.

Divorce proceedings were insti-
tuted in the Thirty-seventh Dis
trict court yesterday, wherein
Emma S. Krempkau complains of
her husba I'd, w. B. Krempkau.
She charges that on July "a, she
asked him for ten cents TO buy
watermelon with, which he refused
to let her have, and that when she
asked him again for the money, he
struck her. She was placed in the
Southw estern Insane asylum as a
private patient on certificate,
which, she claims, her husband
procured from a physician by
fraudulent means. She states that
her husband paid the asylum
authorities S13S to keep her for six
months, and that he said she was
insane. She denies that she is in
zane. She alleges that her hus-
band had her placed in the asylum
for the purpose OF disposing of her
property for his benefit, after she
threatened to leave him. Their
property is valued at $4,000, from
which monthly rental OF $3.50 is
derived, which plaintiff alleges, Is
in possession of defendant. Plant.

month, for the recovery of the
money paid to.the asylum authori.
ties and for writ OF injunction to
restrain defendant from disposing
OF the property. The injunction

favorable to Ed. Boyce, the well known
sgitator of the mining districts. 1t
means that they have pledged the vote
OF every Democrat in Idaho. 4 great
many Democrats do not propose to have
their rights to cast ballot as they please
and for whom they please, hartered
away by lew delegates in convention
assembled. They will vote for Dubois
legislators regardless OF the resolution.
This is ayear when people are going
to do independent voting. They will
vote their convictions regardless OF the
party lash and the bosses. Bryan, Du-

psign, and the people of Idaho will vote
a ticket representing these men and the
