An Elopement.

& -
last. week Wednesday evening a
heavily veiled lady and q young man
pot off the Burlington train and
sWaiteu ID the depot until the east
bound train on the Omaha arrived; !;
:forS which they purchased tickets
to Mankato, nothing very strange
was sthought Of this until the next
evening the Burlington brought in a
man looking for his wife who had
rum away with another man. He
went into the telegraph Office at
Spirit Lake aud wanted to wire an
officer here to detain them until his
arrival but was told the Office here
was not open nights. He remained
here until Thursday and resumed the
purslit. To an ADVANCE reporter he
said he was very anxious to have his
wit geturn on account of the child
rensWho were! very young, and he
would forgive her. if she would re-
turn. The following from the Man
kate Daily Review. >,s.a. 1ss,
5 This morning,a gentleman from
Split Lake, Iowa, arrived in Man
.katd and Immediately upon his
jumping off the 4 o'clock Omaha
train started out in search Of his
runaway wife, who had eloped from
her home on Wednesday with a
young mana beardless youth-who
had. lived at the home-of the couple,
whowere running q railroad board
ing house in the Iowa town. The
/ clipping couple were in Mankato yes
/ terday and visited several stores, in
quilng the price of stoves and
household furniture and the indica.
tions were that they intended to
atart in housekeeping. To-day they
were not seen on the streets, and
their wherea bouts are known only: to
themselves. It. may be; that + the
guilty pair discovered that they are
followed and are keeping dark. 80
The injured husband says he will
forgive his wife if she will return to
hisSarms and his home. The woman
is the mother of two. young children.
Owing to- the fact that the husband
is avery respectable and industrious
man the Review withholds his name
from the public. ~--- p
AZ a later date the Free Press says:
."Louis G. Gaskell, Of Spirit Lake,
Iowa, who has been searching in this
t eity1for his wife the past two days.
got track of her at the Nicollet House
H.appears that when the woman and
her paramour came to the city they
went to the Stahl House and wanted
board and lodging. They said that
they had come from North Dakota
and were both in search Of work. Mrs.
Stahldirected them to the Nicollet
|EEodse, where they secured board. -.
Mr. Gaskell had offered "a reward
Iof FIVE dollars for information leading
to the finding of the couple, and a
man was found who agreed to earn
the reward. He located the couple
and. notified Mr.. Gaskell. Officers
Daniels and Grout were informed,
and went to the hotel. It was about
midnight when they arrived there,
and in the meantime the woman's
companion had got wind of the mat.
ter and skipped. Mr.. Gaskell found
his wife, who consented to return to
Spirit Lake with him, and they left
this afternoon. The husband was
great rejoiced at the recovery of his
wife, as he had shed tears when tell
ing of her departure, while he was
prosecuting his search: No arrests
were made and the matter will prob
ably be dropped"

Beginners will be admitted in room
|, about March s. Exact notice will
be given later. This spring work for
the starters gives them a good push
for the fall term, making them more
thoroughly acquainted with school
life.
The Astronomy Glass greatly en-:
j0yed an evening before examination
studying the moon and stars. The
teacher, Mr.. Porter, procured a tran
sit instrument through which could
be seen several objects invisible to
the naked eye. The disc of the
planet Jupiter was plainly seen, the
edge of which was fringed with red.
The moon when viewed through the
telescope, has no longer a regular
edge but it's circumference is slightly
fringed, probably due to it's noun
tains extending beyond its surface rs
we see it. The largest mountain,
Tyco, appeared in the lower part and
has rays extending from it. Although
it is a pleasure to finish and drop sub
jects the class is sorry to leave so in
teresting one as astronomy.
Examinations are over and the
scholars are glad, but the work for
the teachers has just begun, as it is
necessary for them to look
over each paper individually before
sending to the State Board, which is.
sues the final certificates if the work
ings are up to grade. This makes a
;great deal of work for the teachers as
some of them have over hundred
examinations to correct, and the time
given by the state is limited. Those
scholars having received an average
of IS per cent. in their daily work and
monthly examinations are not com
PEELED to take the state test, but are
given certificate by the school
which is just as good as one sent
from the state, since this is a first
grade high school. This method was
adopted last year and is found to be
a very good one; thus it is to each
scholars interest to do good work
daily, for then if he should fail in the
final examination he would be pro
noted just the same.

SENSIBLE INDIANA GIRLS.

Fully u score of marriageable
girls of Denote. Ind. have, accord.
ing To the indianapolis Journal, de-
clared war against the young men
of that town, and have formed q
league To promote more refinement
among the men. which the ladies
say is sadly lacking there. They
have just met in body and passed
the following resolution:
BE it resolved, that the ladies of
DeMot,e, Ind. will not hereafter
marry a young man who is not "a
patron of his home newspaper. for
il is strong evidence of want of in
telligence and that he will prove
too stingy TO provide for family,
educate his children and encourage
institutions of learning in the com.
munity."
If these young women had gone
ahead and resolved once more they
would have done better They
should have served notice that no
young business man who failed to
advertise i'm his home paper could
be considered eligible.--Brains.

George Roark is dead at his home
and Poteau is secreted by some of
his countrymen or hiding beneath
the friendly shades somewhere in
Missouri. Poteau is Frenchman
six feet tall with broad, heavy and
round shoulders on which is set a
head that is crowned with dark
brown hair. The face is partially
covered with scraggy beard and a
sandy mustache. The other PROM
inent features of this cruel physi-
ognomy are pair of piercing dark
eyes and high cheek bones. sunken
cheeks with a heavy. firm set lower
jaw. When he rode up to Roark's
house Friday and called for him to
come out Roark was asleep and his
eldest son, Charlie, answered the
summons. To him Poteau stated
that George had taken besr the day
before and he wanted pay for IL.
Charlie told him that If there was
anything owing he would pay for ii
himself. Poteau insisted on seeing
the head of the family and called
the second time. At this George
got up and walked out to Poteau
and his death. Poieau was sitting
on his horse when Roark came up.
From his pocket he pulled SS-cali-

SATURDAY, JUNE 26.
SOMETHING ABOUT SALARIES.

The fees and salary bill passed by
the Legislature last winter and
which takes effect next January,
will make some material changes
in the salaries of officials in this
county, says the Columbus Courier.
The salaries are based on popula-
ton, and Cherokee county ranks in
the $4,000 TO 10000 class, this county
now having $4,000, according to the
census just taken. The present sal
airy of the countytreasurer is $1,000,
out of which he must pay his clerk
hire. The new law makes the sala.
ry S2,2O0, the county to pay clerk
hire. not to exceed $500 n year.
The pay of the county clerk, I'M
der the new law will be 5000 salary
and not to exceed $1,000 for clerk.
The county superintendent now
gets $1,000 year. Under the new
law he will receive only $1,000. and
il he fails TO spend at leas, one hour
in each school in the county during
the year. the commissioners shall
deduct from the last quarterly in.
stalmtnl of his salary, The sum of
- for each such delinquency.
The county attorney OF this coun.
ty now draws in salary 10 say
nothing as TO what he draws from
Joints 49, the sum of 5000 year.
The new law gives him $l,20O and
fees for doing various things; no
fees, however, to be collected from
the county. The Office of county
attorney of this county Is reputcd
to be worth from 5000 10 $4,000 II
year.
The district clerk is allowed to
pocket the>fees in his Office until
the same reaches Sl,S00, in any one
year. All fees above that amount
must be divided equally with the
county.
The sheriff can salt away the fees
of his Office until the same reach 81
total OF $22,4O0. after which he must
turn in one-thrd To the county.
The probate judge has to divid,
'alf and 'alf with the county after
he has pocketed $3.50 in fees. This
does not include the fees the pro
bate Judge gets for marrying pco.
pie. That is his rake Off T" from the
preachers.
The county commissioners now
draw 500 year, each. for their ser.
vices. The new law gives them 81 Il
day. Three days-in month will be
about all that will be nee .ssary 10
do the business Of the county. or
about Sl2O for each commissioner.
Under the law, however, they could
put in time. if they are SO disposed,
until their per diem, each. reached
$780, in counties of the population
of this county.
The fees Of justices Of the peace
are cut nearly one-half all the way
through.
The court stenographer is allow.
ed but $50 per annum, and the fees
for folio work are cut one.half.

THE SENECA LEAD MINES.

A NEWS representative, in com.
pany with Mr.. J. A. Sour, visited the
lead mines near Seneca, Mo-, this
week. The old Holmes mines, now
operated by company of men
from Mcpherson, Kas., are produc-
ing lead in good quantities from a
depth of A feet and paying fairly
good dividends, Notwithstanding
they have just been reopened after
a shut down of three years caused
by litigation, and large amount
of cleaning up and dead work was
necessary before the leads of min
cral could be reached. At present,
however, the mines are doing well
with fine prospects for opening up
an extensive mining camp there in
the near future. Mr.. Sour has just
secured lease upon 1913 acres of
land adjoining the Holmes mines,
on which shaft is being sunk with
flattering prospects. The surface
indications on This land are the best
we have ever seen and undoubtedly
many fortunes will be made from il
in the next few years.
We were entertained over night
by Mr.. Andy Weiss and family nj
their elegant home just south OF
Seneca. Mr. Weiss is noted for his
generous hospitality. and his per-
pendicular vineyard on the bluff
south of his residence il looked
upon with wonder and admiration
by all who see il.
We predict for the Seneca mines
"a bright aud prosperous future.

Lacombe in the case of Paul E. Writ

tain pen by the defendant company

accordance with the terms of the
bond which the defendant subsequent

cate is dated November 80 and gives
the amount of sales of pens Of the

December 81, 1896, and gives the

Last Evenings Entertainment,
A Good Sized Crowd at Association Hall
Well Pleased.

Last evening" at Association Hall, Prof
Lyman Howe exhibited his wonderful ma
chine, the animotoscope, to large and ap-
preciative audience. The word wonderful
has become one of such common usage in
these days of wonders that it seems almost
inadequate to express full conception of the
animol oscope. The audience was led from
a state of delightful expectancy and uncer-
tainty to wonder and astonshment.
Every one who attended the entertainment
will be pleased to hear that Professor Howe
has agreed to remain in the city and give
another entertainment tomorrow evening"
at which the prices will be reduced to IS
and IS, cents.
Last nights exhibition was opened with
collection of selections by the phonograph,
which were rendered in delightfully."- clean
and distinct manner. The most interesting
feature was of course, the animotiscope.
Views of almost life-size were run off one
after the other, ranging from the most
laughahle and ridiculous TO the most exct-
ing. The most realistic of all was the fam
ous Black Diamond express of the Lehigh
Valley railroad, which was pictured as
laundering by at the rate of 90 miles per
hour An encore was demanded The
glimpse of the ocean on Manhattan Beach
after n storm was very fine, and person
could easily imagine that they were looking
out of large window upon the actual scene.
Much merriment was occasioned by the in
vitation of Professor Howe to the audience
to record its own noise and confusion.
When the invitation was given everybody
tried to make just little noise at least, and
a number Of the Association boys gave their
yell. The machine was then reversed, and
the confusion faithfully reproduced. The
program to be rendered on Monday evening
is the same as that given last night
-" Williamsport Grit, of Jan. 18th.
The above entertainment will he given at
the Opera House Monday night. Benefit of
the Lutheran Church.
