No Cause For Alarm.

Friday evening twas reported. that
there was a case Of small pox at the
Okabena House. Mayer; Pahne}l Ut
once instructed Officer Rushon to in
form Health Officer DR.. Curran, who
examined the case and called DR..
Dolan, and they both pronounced it
a case of varioloid, which is defined
by all authorities as mild small pox.
The party afflicted is named
Clarance Hall, who came here from
Green county, Iowa, and was en-
ployed by the Omaha road, where
they are filling in for the new round
house. 1t appears that he had been
telling his co-laborers that there had
neen small pox in his parents family.
Tie men noticed that he was break
ing out with little rash and advised
him to see physician, 80 about two
O'Clock Friday afternoon he quit
work. 1t has been reported that he
was discharged, but Fireman Monson
informs us that is not the case the
man simply quit.
The council promptly procured
guards and the Okabena House was
quarantiued early in the evening, and
no one allowed to leave and all per-
sons suspected of being exposed were
sent there to remain until released.
Tents we're procured for Hall and
guards and he was taken out to the
vacant land on the diagonal south of
Mr.. Goodrich's farm. The man ia
perfectly able to be around and does
not require nurse, but will be OBJ
liged to stay in quarantine six or
seven weeks. Those in the Okabena
Hhouse will be quarantined two
weeks.
The guards at the house are, ]. NJ.

ing the entire crew, that were on the
works with Hall, vacclnated :.
Our citizens are no alarmed over
the situation and do not consider it
serious, as it has been taken early.
The Okabena house has been disin-
fected. A fence has been built around
the front of the Okabena to keep the
public from getting too close. 49,

state of affairs and no effort has been
made to conceal the situation at all.

ROMANCE OF A MINISTER
AN ILLINOIS CLERGYMAN AND HIS
WIFE SEPARATE AFTER
TWENTY YEARS
HAD BEEN APPARENTLYHAPPY
Announcement Made From the Pull
pit-UnnbIe to Get Divorced,
for Neither Had Violated
Any Law.

Ours has been a loveless marriage. For
eighteen years there has been no love
between us. We are going to separate.
People who do not love each other have
no right TO live together"
The quiet, smple-minded, old-fashioned
members Of little church in Illinois sat
dumfounded as their pastor, after twenty
years of married life, thus calmly an
nounced from his pulpit on a recent Sun
day that he and his wife had decided to
get a divorce.
They could not believe what their ears
heard. They dared not trust their eyes.
What manner OF man was it, they mar
veled, who had made his way into the
pulpit of their beloved and trusted pastor
had occupied for twenty years and spoke
these astonishing words? Their pastor
and their pastors wife, each of the go
members OF the congregation felt sure,
were as happy together and were as de-
voted as ever married couple could be-
For twenty years they had been looked up
to as the most perfect living illustration
Of all that is happy, loving and god.ike
in marriage. And yet before them in the
pulpit stood the selfsame man, quietly
riage had been a failure and a sham.
1t was the Rev. Benjamin Franklin
Query, pastor of the Primitive Seventh
Day Baptist congregation, on Honey
Bend. H., who had given his long time
parishioners this great shock. He seemed
entirely unmindful of the effect his utter
anCe had produced IN the little church
which stands in the Illinois hamlet. While
his listeners still were trying to grasp
the full significance Of his unexpected
words he continued
81 suppose people will be surprised, but
we can't help that. We part as friends, but
we were never intended to be more 1t has
taken US twenty years to find out our
mistake but it is better to correct II now
than never"
Never probably was a more romantic
scene witnessed in place of worship.
The pastor, now beyond his fiftleth year,
had become convinced that in marrying
Marietta Stevens he had made a grave
mistake. Apparently, too, she had be-
come convinced of the same thing. In
stead of being all in all to each other,
they were nothing more than chance
friends, a man and woman thrown to-
gether by circumstances. each interested
in the others welfare, but neither intend
ed as the life companion Of the other.
Fer a full score of years they had been
deceived. They had been living a lie
without knowing 1t. All at once the
truth had dawned upon them. They were
not intended for man and wife, and they
thereupOn decided to end the delusion
And when the strange, the almost incom-

prehensible words fell from the lips Of
the man in the pulpit every person in
the congregation but one sat spelbound
That one person, who seemed to share the
pastors calmness and Indifference was his
wife.
Several weeks now have passed since
the surprising announcement was made
from his pulpit by the Rev Mr. Query
The minister has disappeared from the
places that knew him so we'll Where he
has gone none of his old friends knows
Nat even his wife is aware of his present
whereabouts. In the hamlet of Honey
Bend the hundred inhabitants are dis
cusSlnS nothing else. In Raymond the
nearby village. in which the pastor and
MS Vile lived for twenty years. this sepa-
ration is the sole topic of converse ton.
Why did the minister leave his faithful
wife? the neighbors are asking. TT their
marriage had been a mistake, a failure.
why did not they discover the fact MANY
years before. And. what puzzles the resi-
dents OF Raymond and of Honey Bend
most of all. how did it happen that hus-
oand and wife should discover their mis-
take at the same time? They did not
part in anger. They had not quarreled
NO intruder had entered into the life Of
either They simply discovered, through
some process not yet explained that they
were Ill mated, and so they decided to
end it all by separating They had had no
children. and the minister left his old
friends without offering any explanation
of the mystery and his wife, left behind.
has no explanation to offer.
The Rev. Mr.. Query, after the service
at which he made his startling announce
ment from the pulpit, walked from the

sault Ste Marie has many points of
interest. Summer visitors to the bus

pass IN and cut of the gates of these
locks during each season. Having seen
the locks the next thing the visitor has
to do is to shoot the rapids of ST. Mary's
river. While the sport is not dangerous
1t is exciting. Indians, who live on the
Canadian side of the river, are always
ready with ther canoes to take the Wis
itor on trip down the foaming, whirl-
ing Incline. TO add to the excitement,
when the canoe has reached that point
IN the rapids where the water is dashing
highest, the Indian delights in letting out
some unearthly war whoops that are not
intended to relieve the uneasiness of
the tourist accompanying him. The fear
of the moment is soon followed by a feel
ing of relief as the canoe floats quietly
on the placid waters of the river below
the falls.
One of the Indians who for years has
taken visitors over the falls is John Bou-
cher, famous guide. John. however, is

he had hitched his horse for twenty
years. He drove around to the front
steps ofNthe edifice, and there his wife
awaited him. She stepped into their
phaeton. as she had done after every
sunday service for many years, and they
drove back to their cosy home In Ray
mond, as they always had done Each
acted as If nothing out of the ordinary
had happened.
On the day following, before the con-
gregation could realize fully the meaning
of the unexpected happening. an even
stranger event took place. The minister
went out to the barn, harnessed his horse
and drove to the house for. his wife. This
he had been doing for twenty years, and
together they had gone on visits to the
members of his flock. But on this oc-
casion they went to none of the places
that had seen them so often. Instead they
drove to Hillsboro, the county seat Of
Montgomery, where they alighted in front
of the Office of a lawyer. Husband and
wife entered the office together. and the
wife assented as the minister explained

| that they desired to obtain a divorce.
There was no ground for divorce Meth
er had one charge to make against the
other To all appearances their welded
life had been a success. In the statutes
there was nothing that would apply to
their case. Each had been to the other
all that the laws of Illinois required, and
they We're informed that they could not
get a divorce
Evidently disappointed, the Rev Mr..
Guerny and his wife returned to the
street. Together they entered their
phaeton. and their horses nose was turn
ed back in the direction of Raymond
They drove directly to their home. If the
statutes Of the state would not undo
what a mistaken marriage VOW had done
they decided that they would accomplish
their object in their own way A division
of their earthly possessions, Query and
his wife decided, would be proper and
fitting under the circumstances
The husband transferred to his wife the
little homestead they had acquired
through years Of effort and frugal living.
He gave to her the furniture in the house.
The horse and phaeton, too, he decided
should be given TO her. AS for himself,
he chose to take a bedstead, a shotgun
and a hymn book
Having thus divided their property to
their mutual satisfaction, they then ex-
ahmed their bank book. This showed
that they had on deposit upward Of $780,
The husband, it lad been agreed. should
go to some far off land, and he should
have the money necessary for the pur-
chase of a ticket. The wife, it was de-
cided, should retain $l50 The husband
took the balance, and had just enough
money to buy ticket to Oklahoma Ter
ritory.
These formalities settled, nothing re-
NAMED but for husband and wife to part
lie left at once, apparently feeling no
remorse. To leave the home he had made,
and in which he bad spent the best part
of his life, he conceived to be but a
simple duty. To permit her husband thus
to go she regarded equally as her simple
duty. Neither since has known anything
about the other.
