HAS TWO WIVES.
Wausau Man Thought His First Mar
riage Annuled.

Wausau, Wis, Feb. 1O.-Frank
Smith of Rochester, Mimi, employed
in Wausau, is the principal in a some
what novel bigamy case, pending trial
in the spring term of circuit court. He
was arrested a few days ago, waived
examination and gave bonds for his
appearance. According to the warrant
he was married to a young lady in
Waukesha Aug. p, 1898 After a few
months they separated and his wife
began divorce proceedings; and defen-
dant was notified to appear in court to
defend the action or judgment would
be rendered against him. Smith
thought if he did not appear the mar
riage contract would be nulled and
make him a free man. He married an
other woman here in January. His
wife No. 1, now residing in Amigo,
obtained knowledge of that fact and
caused his arrest on the above charge.
Wife No. said she was his legal wife,
and that the divorce case is still pend
ing in Waukesha courts, and on account
of her insufficient means she had been
unable to carry the case further.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Stormy scenes
characterized the sessions of the
national antitrust conference pre-
ceding final adjournment last night.
The climax came when Delegate JOS
eph Parker, middle-of-the-road popu
list, surprised the conference with a
resolution pledging the delegates to
vote for no party that does not stand
for government ownership and the
principle of direct legislation. The
democratic leaders interpreted this as
an attack on Bryan, and were on their
feet in an instant to block the move.
Disorder reigned ten minutes, then
Chairman MOnnett used the gavel and
temporarily adjourned the convention.
Another whirl of excitement took
place after reading the report of the
committee on resolutions when dele
gate Quinn of Illinois offered an
amendment to the declaration of prin-
ciples, calling for the repeal Of all
laws sustaining the right of citizens to
private property with a view of giving
every citizen free home. A long
wrangle ensued over the disposition of
the amendment. After much discus
sion, chairman Monnett put the mo-
ton to adopt the report Two ballots
were taken. Finally he declared the re-
port of the committee adopted, and his
ruling caused a thunder of disapprov-
al. Delegate Quinn appealed from the
decision. The vote was put, and Mon
nett was sustained by large majority.
A strong attempt was made yesterday
TO offset the partisan effect of the reso-
lutions adopted yesterday, denouncing
the pending currency bill. Chairman
Monnett made a speech in which he
declared the movement for public own
ership of public utilities was being car
ried on by the republican party as we'll
as by the democratic party. The con-
