For Divorce.

New York, Dec. John Groh, the
wealthy brewer, member of the ArlOn
and other German societies, has brought
suit for divorce against his wife, Susie.
Mrs. GrOh, in turn, has filed a counter

life Of thirteen months.
When Michael GrOh, ST., died, ten
years ago, he left a large fortune be
sides a prosperous brewery business
TO his wife and his sons, Michael GrOns
Jr., and John. Michael died two years

quietly married on October 6, 1897, to
Miss Susie OIL Miss Oil is a beauti-
full young woman ten years younger
than Mr.. GrOh.
After the honeymoon they went to
live in a handsome house at No. 40
Riverside Drive, which had been fitted
up in a lavish manner. There they en-
tertained upon a large scale. In Janu-
airy Mrs. GrOh left her husband and
went to a friends house. She said her

GIANTS OF PATAGONIA.

Great Hunters.

The tribes to the east of the Cordil-
leras, in southern Patagonia, belong to
Araucanian stock and are a superior
race. The Tehuelches-as they call
themselves-of southern and eastern
Patagonia are the people whose unusual
stature gave rise to the fables of early
days TO the effect that the natives of this
region were giants, averaging nine or
ten feet in height. 1t is fact, says the
Boston Transcript. that they are the
tallest human beings in the world, the
men averaging but slightly less than
six feet, while individuals of four TO six
inches above that mark are not uncom-
mon. They are in reality by no means
,Envages, but somewhat civilized bar
barians. They are almost unacquainted
with the use of firearms. notwittstand-
ing some contact with the whites, but
they have plenty OF horses and dogs.
Unsurpassed hunters, they capture
the guanaco and the rhea, or South
American ostrich, and from the skins
of these and other animals they make
clothes and coverings for their tents.
They make beautiful "capes," or man
ties, or furs and feathers, which are
highly priced by Europeans ard find a

ing spent for bad whisky, which is

resolution, proposing constitutional
amendment changing the date for the
Inauguration of President and Vice
President and for the expiration of the
terms of Senators and Representatives
from March 4th to May 4th, to take
effect in 1901, This is an all around
good amendment, and it ought to be
put into effect. Besides insuring
pleasanter weather for Inauguration
Day, it would give Congress an oppor-
tunity to do something more at the
short sessions than to pass the appro-

About Buying Millinery.

There is existing an idea among the
ladies in this city and throughout the
county, that in order to appear in the
most fashionable style their millinery
must come from the larger cities. While
the variety is greater still it isn't greater
than the stock carried by your leading
milliner Of this city. When going to the
larger cities to do your shopping you
have limited time and are compelled to
purchase hastily. There the attention
you should have is neglected and in all
probability you return dissatisfied with
your purchases. The buying of a sum-
mer hat takes some little time and it Is
to your own self-interest to go where
your individual taste is studied. The
leading milliner OF this city is Mrs. H.
V. Duncan and your interests are hers.
Upon entering her emporium her first
desire is to not let you leave without
being thoroughly suited. She has Just
arrived from the city with most elegant
line OF goods pertaining 10 all branches
OF millinery. She having had many
years Of experience in this special bust
ness gives her prestige over all of her
competitors. Should you call you are
assured of most cordial greeting wheth-
err any thing is purchased or not. There
are some instances where it isimpossible
to come and make your own selection in
this case, you can with perfect safety,
write her and the order will haye prompt
attention.
