For Homeseekers.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway will sell regular homeseekers:
excursion tickets to all points in South
Dakota, at one fare plus So for the
round trip, on September 1S and Octo-
Der 2, 1900. This will enable parties
to visit the Corn Belt Exposition to be
held in Mitchell, S. D., September 20
to October 4, 1900, inclusive This ex-
position is held to demonstrate the
great agricultural resources, wealth
and possibilities of this thriving state.
The exposition is held in a gorgeously
decorated corn palace which for beau-
ty can hardly be excelled anywhere by
building of temporary nature.
There are thousands of acres of cheap
lands left in South Dakota that will,
under the present conditions in that
state, rapidly increase in price, and
the holding of this corn palace with
its many attractions, that both amuse
and instruct, should be an opportunity
that all land and investment seekers
should embrace.

ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee,
& st. Paul R'y, or address Geo. H.,

FIRST FOOTBALL AT eRlNNELE.
Initial Game of the Season Saturday
Afternoon.

ID g
Glinnell, Oct. Especial 1.-The
first football game of the season was
played Saturday between the regular
college team and a team improvised
from among former football play ers
of tire institution. The colisge team
this year is composed almost wholly
OF men entirely new to the game, and
who average less in weight team any
former club. The game was charac-
terized by large amount of fumbling,
and ragged playing, the noticeable
feature of the match being a forty-five
yard kick by PIERCE, in the last half
of the game.
At the March term of court a peti-
ton for divorce was presented by q.
L. DeCamp, but the case was dismiss
ed by Judge Dewey. This fall the case
again came up for hearing, the plain
tiff alleging desertion as ground for
divorce. 1t was shown by the evil
dence that DeCamp was brutal, among
his playful antics being such pranks as
emptying his mouthful of tobacco juice
on his wife's feet when she was wash
ing them, and emptying pailful Of
swill from the swill barrel on her bare
head. Mrs. DeCamp, who is refined
and accomplished lady, is opposing the
divorce on account of her children, her
husbands father being fairly wealthy.
The sentiment of people acquainted
with the family and the circumstances,
is almost unanimously with Mrs. De.
Camp.

Former Republican and Democratic

Waterloo, Oct. lit is reported
that j G.. r. Jackson, who was chair
man of the Blackhawk county republi-
can central committee during the
campaign of 1896, has declared him
self against the election Of Mckinley
in the present campaign. If this is so
the republicans and democrats are
about even in respect to accession of
leading party workers from the other
side, as James McDermott, who was
the democratic chairman in 1897 and
who was known as Silver Jim" on
account of his earnest advocacy of free
coinage, has come over to the republi-
cans
Under Jackson's management the re-
publicans in 1896 scored the largest
majority they have ever obtained in
this county, and under McDermott's
leadership the following year the dem
ocrats cut this majority of $500 to less
than LOO In view of these achieve
ments the transfer of two such eff
cient campaign managers to the ranks

abel that Edwin II. Conger will con-
tinue to represent the United States as

Boxer uprising began, and during the
trying times Of the insurrection In Pc

narrowing that II is not at all surpris-
