ROMANCE OF LOVE AND WAR
DIVORCED SOUTH DAKOTA
COUPLE ARE REUNITED.
Woman Met Former Husband, a
Physical Wreck From the War, In
San Francisco.

Chicago, June "a special to the
Chronicle from Highmore, S. D., says:
The return to this town of a man and
woman divorced five years ago, but
who are again husband and wife, adds
the last chapter to a romantic story Of
love and war.
Five years ago Henry BaIlantyne and
wife of this place agreed to separate.
They had been married not quite
twelve months. Ballantyne was pros
porous grain buyer and owned several
good farms near Highmore. These he
decided to his wife. The few hundred
dollars he was able to scrape together
in cash he put in his own pocket and
left to begin life afresh in new loca-
ton.
AS soon as he had gone his wife sued
for a divorce. There was no defense.
and a decree was granted. The land
given her by her husband she sold to
advantage. and by shrewd reinvest-
ments accumulated within the next few
years comfortable fortune.
The past winter she spent i'm southern
California On her way home month
ago she stopped temporarily in San
Francisco. On the street there one day
she met an emaciated figure in army
blue, hobbling about with the aid of a
heavy cane, in a vain search for en-
ployment. 1t was Ballantyne, dis
charged from the United States volun-
teer service, and invaded home from
the Philippines after fever which left
him in such poor health as to destroy
his usefulness as a soldier.
Ballantyne was about to pass his for
mer wife without speaking to her. but
she, when she saw his wasted form and
miserable condition. felt all her old love
for him revive. She hurried him into
a carriage and TO her hotel. where
comfortable quarters, good food and
the services of a competent physician
soon produced a marked Improvement
in his health. Last week the two We're
remarked and have just returned to
Highmore together.

the evening The lateness of the hour
at which the contestants were an
nounced to appear kept the crowd from
seeking the Coney Island clubhouse
very early, and Coney, with its merry
go-rounds, Ferris wheel, gilded cafes,
jugglers and bespangled dancers, fur
nished ample amusement and enter
tainment during the wait.
1t all made strange scene CROWDS
thronged the streets and surged around
among the stands and stalls of the
eady-tongued fakirs. The lights of the
curious town were never brighter and
the strange devices that make apollo
getic music were never worked harder.
The many places where liquid and solid
refreshments We're dispensed were
packed to overlooking, and everywhere
the buzz of conversation freighted with
fight talk.
All Talk of the Fight.
It was on everybody's lips Enshu-
siasts touted their fayorites. Here
Fitzsimmons would win in a walk;
there Jeffries was sure victor The
newsboys shouted late extras that told
all about it, and fakirs offered the lat
est pictures of the two giants who We're
to fight. Through it all there was very
little betting. There was plenty of
money ready on both sides, but nobody
liked the odds. The Jeffries people
wanted two for one for their collat-
eral and the Fitzsimmons people were
slow to give it.
The great house filled very slowly
and it was after 9 O'Clock before the
police had to bestir themselves AMI
clear the aisles. Time seemed to drag,
and the absence of any preliminary
contest gave the crowd a fight appe-
tite. They began calling for the err
Torrance at $3.50, and at 9:45 were
demonstrative.
Jeffries was the first of the princi-
pals to appear. He came through the
main entrance and walked the length
of the hall at 800 to an accompani-
ment of cheers. while FitZsimmons,
who was accompanied by his sporting
like wife, gained the dressing room by
a rear door. The disagreement as to
the conditions of clinches and breaks
was discussed and settled outside of
the ring, and there was but little delay
when the terms were agreed upon.
Fitzsimmons' entry into the ring at
1906 o'clock was made the occasion of
a rather theatrical demonstration. Ju-
liam was first and then came the fight
err. The seconds were next in line, and
then came two men, bearing a great
floral piece that was almost funeral in
its appearance. 1t was inscribed
Good Luck TO the Champion but the
flowers are wilted now. Fitzsimmons
bowed tremendously TO il.
The Men in the Ring.
Jeffries was next into the arena, and
like his opponent. got a demonstrative
reception. FitZsimmons looked lanky
and thin. but his skin was clear, his
eye bright and his step elastic. He
made a great display of American
flags at his waist. Jeffries looked
sturdy and massive and seemed little

Porter's Heroic Work.

The porter of this car earned great
praise by his presence of mind in cut
ting a hole through the roof. quenching
the fire and rescuing several women in
Immediate danger.
In the smoker, which was well filled,
passengers were compelled to crawl
cautiously the full length of the car
Etc the rear door to escape. Exit
through the broken windows was
dangerous. the darkness making it i'm
possible to see a foot ahead. The scene
of the wreck was in the woods. and
there was no house near to which the
injured could be taken. For the i'm
mediate care of the injured fires were
built alongside the tracks.
AS soon as possible news of the
wreck was sent to Granview and a re-
lief train was started from Kansas
City. The train moved at a. IN. and
took back to Kansas City all OF the in
iured.
Engineer Brown. seen after the
wreck. said that he was running under
slow orders because of the fact that
trains had damaged the roadbed. At
the time. he said, he was proceeding
slowly around a sharp curve on an
embankment eight feet high. The
heavy engine, baggage and mail car,
which parsed the curve in safety,
loosened the rails and caused the rear
cars to leave the track.
The track was cleared by noon today
and trains were running as usual.

New Jerseys Finances.

cock, as is the custom, tel .graphed the
Governor, Offering congratulations be.
cause New Jersey has reached high
water mark in the matter of its State
balance, it being now, 81, ,253 l53 AZ.
The increase is significant because it is
$3.50, 900 more than last year, the increase
being due principally to the increase in
the income for registering corporations
with the Secretary of the State. The
income this year was $3.50, 900. to which
must be adied notable growth in the
franchise tax.
This is very large balance considering
the extraordinary expenditures OF the
year. 500 900 was voted to the school
fund; SlS00O was given as an annuity
t. those who served in the recent war;
500 900 was paid back out of the railroad
taxes to the large municipalities under
the equal taxation law. There were
large expenditures for armories. State

Some idea of the magnitude of the
bindings of the National Exrort
Exposition, Philadelphia. aud the CON

and facilities for reaching every part of

fact that in the Main Building there is a

and length in the cross aisles of IA 900
feet, so that one vino has walked through
all the aisles of this building will have

In the other buildings of the Exposition
there are more than four miles Of aisles.
Hehce. to obtain even glimpse of every.
thing in the Exposition Grounds the

REMARKABLE STORY.
George Day Says Cronin Killed

It is now said that George Day, before

questioned further, said it was in an at
tempt to rob beef house in Somerset
Couuty, when the watchman or special
officer had tried to arrest him and was
shot so that he afterwards died.
Somervile was pestered with thieves.
and it appears that somebody noticed the
men at work on the beef house and no
tilted Officer Croweli Of the fact The
officer was brave man. He went to the
scene boldly and grappled with the Thief

AS Tesus Would do in Business

fairs?" in the November Ladies' Home
Journal, contends that "the immediate
result of applying Christ's teachings to
everyday life would, without any ques-
ton, be the actual loss of almost every
thing in the way of money, and social
position. and political power, for vast
successful, or powerful through the exer-
else of selfish-that is, un Christion
methods of life. l have not the sigh-
est doubt that if the merchants of Phila-
delphia, for example, should begin at
once to do as Jesus would do in business
the immediate result would be bankruptcy
for very many of them, perhaps for the
majority. If not bankruptcy, then
enormous losses would follow. This fact
would not prove that Christianity can
not be applied to modern business but
that modern business does not square
with the teachings of Christianity. That
this is so business men themselves frankly
confess. The statement so often made,
that the Golden Rule cannot be made to
work in business, is not confession OF
the foolishness of the Golden Rule, but
