LIS. POOR Erred,

And now comes Mrs. Frederick Gerhard
into the unknown and unmeasured depths
of South Dakota society, all unknown
to. her beloved husband whom she de-
! serted, and proclaims that she did not
desert him; but that she cherished him
so dearly that, against her will and de-
sire, and without any just cause or prov
ocation, and in violation of his duty
as her lawful husband, he did desert
and abandon her on the desolate shore
Of Rhode Island in the vicinity of New
port, and thereafter continued to live
apart from her at the hostelry known
as the Waldorf-Astoria, in that center
of political and social impurity, the city
of New York
Mrs. Frederick Gerhard is spoken of
as an adventurous matron. Never in all
her exploits in the briny deep did she
show a more reckless disregard of con-
sequences than when she bearded the
social lion of Sioux Falls in his den.
and dragged from out it's lair the IN
willing remains of what was once her
husband. OF what avail was it that Mr.
Gerhard should have taken UP his per
manent abode in that notable health re-
sort for marital sufferers, and have CIV
Ell the local gun-clubs renewed. leases of
life, thus showing mis- superior right to
get his decree unquestioned, and, there
upon, take weIl-earned vacation, if an
unknown woman who has never sought
to advance the population of South Da-
kota even a single unit can come into it's
courts and defeat the ends of divorce
justice, as divorce justice is known and
understood in our neighboring common
wealth?
The Gleb unites with the upper
tendon of Sioux Falls society in the ex-
pressions of sympathy and respect with
which the sufferings of Mr. Gerhard and
his high character as citizen of great
public spirit and local patriotism will be
repaid. The shameful miscarriage of JUS
tice which has ensued will be fully COM
pensated for, however, when Mr.. Geb-
hard who is now as free maritally as
air, settles down for aye in his South
Dakota home and takes to wife one of
the fairest of the fair daughters of dis
tinguished Sioux Falls ancestry.

and attempt to deal out Justice who owes
allegiance to a political boss. The courts
must be kept above suspicion, and that

not have been a conspiracy, but the temp

judge on the bench as it is to any other
man, and when removed from the re-
straints of organized society and urged
on by his judicial creators he may forget

THE MOVES M;KENZIE IMBROGLIO.
For year the reading public has been
RECALLED with more or less spicy accounts
Of the doings of Alexander Mckenzie and
Judge Noyes at Nome. The twain have
been accused of most every offense that
ii is possible to commit against the
rights of property and the courts of JUS
tiee. Mckenzie was judged in contempt
of court and sentenced to a year in Jail,
but managed to secure his release by
purging himself of contempt Judge
NoyeS sought a vindication before the
legal department at Washington, but was
referred to the circuit court of California
to make his peace with the judges whose
authority he had openly defied. This sec
ond chapter Of the story of the far
Northwest promises to be more dramatic
than the one which dealt with the ar
rest, trial, and imprisonment of the great
political boss of North Dakota.
Those who claimed that a conspiracy
existed to exploit the rich gold mines of
Nome through the machinery of the fed
eral court allege that the combination had
'ts origin back in the SOS, when North
Dakota was booming. 1t was then that
Mckenzie, Noyes, Hansbrough and Ste
vens were dealing in real estate in anG
about Grand Forks. 1t was then, SO the
story goes, that a close friendship grew
up among this quartette, which ripened
into mutual confidence. AS time rolled
on, Mckenzie became the boss of the
new state and Hansbrough one of it's SEN
ators. Noyes drifted to Minneapolis and
Stevens to the Missouri slope.
When the riches of the Nome district
were discovered the fertile brain of the
great boss evolved plan to gain I'M
measured wealth without the dangers and
hardships of prospecting. Accordingly,
he went to Washington and there with
senatorial aid secured the appointment of
his old friend Noyes as judge of the new
Nome district and also that of his per-
sonal and political henchman, Stevens. as

arrival of the judge and his maker upon
the scene; the formation of silent part

GOV. HoGc's HARD LUCK STORY.

Ev-Gov Jim" Hogg of Texas. is in
town on his annual fall visit to the city.
The governor has been successful in BUSH
ness the past year, but never misses the
opportunity to tell one of those hard luck
stories of his early career, which, given
with such genuine feeling, always deeply
impresses his auditors. His latest is that
of the early days when Mr.. Hogg had
commenced the practice of law in his
Texan home, after his return from the
Civil war
He was decidedly hard up for a board
bill amounting to $50, and was on the
limits of landlady leniency. Sitting in his
office one day wondering how he could
raise the needed sum, man entered and
informed him he wished legal auvlce.
Fifty dollars, sir" explained Mr.. Hogg
almost involuntarily as he saw visions Of
a financial windfall
oh. you want your fee in advance? All
right sir" and the client took a roll of
bills from his pocket and handed him a
$50 bill.
The visitor then announced that he con-
templated some crooked work" nothing
short of the robbing of a private banking
house.
Mr.. Hogg while considering his duty TO
his client also was mindful of that as a
good citizen, and gently but firmly dis
suaded his visitor from his proposed
crime, rather than facilitating the 9th
er's scheme to escape by his aid the PEN
atty if detected. The man left not so
much discouraged as Mr. Hogg thought
he ought to be, while Hogg himself has
tened to his boarding house joyously to
liquidate his board bill.
His surprise and disappointment when
he did not find the aforesaid $50 in his
pocket, where he had placed it when he
| received it from his client may be mag
ined. 1t cannot well be des ibed. A
thorough search of his Clothes his office
and the route he had taken did not dis
cover the missing treasury note He
fancied at the time that his landlady did
not believe his story, but learned after
ward that in this he did her an injustice
as she was convinced by his sincerity Re
turning to his office later he found under
his door scrawl on a bit of paper
to the effect that the party did not
consider the advice given worth the sum
charged, and that before leaving he had
therefore stolen the bill from his pocket

That Democrats of all shades of opin-
ion will be found in solid phalanx against
the common enemy in future campaigns
is further evidenced by the recent dec
larations of former President Cleveland
relating to the New Jersey campaign.
Asked If he intended to support Mayor
Seymour, the nominee of the Democratic
convention, for governor, the reply was
rot ambiguous: Certainly; of coure I
shall support Mr.. Seymour; am Demo-
crat and expect to continue one"
IL is encouraging to learn that the DEM
ocrats of New Jersey are united and are
earnest in the effort-which promises
success-to redeem that erstwhile reIi-
able Democratic state from the incubus
Of Republican misrule. In New Jersey
as in Minnesota. as in Montana, as in
every state of the Union, the rocks upon
which the grand Old Democratic ship has
ran, have been charted, are now known
OF All political mariners, and are no long
err sources of danger.
Among Democrats there will always be
differences of opinion on minor matters
as there will always be among men of
Intelligence and strong minds wherever
found, in whatever party or league or So
cjety- 1t is an inevitable consequence OF
the possession of brains and manly char
'acter. But there are many and most i'm
portant points upon which there is no diff
ference of opinion am ,ng Democrats.
Upon these they will take their stand

men under the flag, and there never was
in the history of the government a time
when there was greater need of a revival

the English and Russian. In numbers

adjacent colonies, in Spanish America
and the islands of the Western Pacific
are about 60,000,e00, less several millions

spoken in the maritime provinces of

the influence of the Indian tongues affect

sounds, but general usage among the edu-

THE GLOBES HOME STUDY COURSE.


Beginning with today's issue, the
G b e inaugurates the publication of
series of University Extension articles,
which, it confidently believes, will be of
great value to the younger class of it's
readers. The articles have all been pre-,
pared by the most eminent educators in
the country and, as a further guaranty
OF their excellence, have passed under
the editorial supervision of E. Benjamin
Andrews, Ii. D., formerly president of
Brown university, and now chancellor of
the University of Nebraska DR.. Andrews
has a national reputation as an educator
and his knowledge of what is necessary
to render a series of articles valuable
for home study is apparent throughout
the entire series. The subjects selected
for the first three months and the days
of their publication are as follows:
Mondays-How to Learn Spanish BY
George f. McKibben, A. NJ, professor of
modern languages in Dennlson university.
Tuesday s-The Rise and Growth of
Wealth. By E. Benjamin Andrews
Ii. D.. chancellor of the University of
| Nebraska.
Wednesdays-Th Colonial Period of
American Literature. By Lorenzo Brown
| Sears, professor of American literature
| in Brown university.
Thursdays-The Makers of the Nation.
| By Clark Mills Brink Phi. d.
FridayS-HoW the United States Has
Expanded. By Dana c. Murphy, A M,
professor of history in the University
of Pennsylvania.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Storm Center of th..

| DR.. r. Warren Conant.
Sundays-Correct English and How to
| Use 1t. By Josephine Turck Baker, ed
| itor of the magazine Correct English
| and How to Use 1t.
In the preparation of all the articles
named above, the fact that the learners,
for the most part, will not have the as
sistance of a teacher has been kept stead
lily in mind, and as a result the Ian
guage employed in such as will be read
lily understood. CIearness of statement
has been aimed at throughout and the
student who takes them up, will, it is
confidently believed, find no difficulty in
mastering the subject matter. If any in
surmountable difficulties are encountered,
however, a letter to the Educational De-
partment of the Gil o be will bring the
! desired assistance
The University Extension articles are
only one of several interesting features
that are now in preparation for the read
ers Of the G1ob e. Announcement of
the. others will be made as soon as ncgo-

JONES HIS RETURNED.

Jones of Nevada has gone back. He
has doubtless disposed of his silver prop
critics at the least less possible to himeIf.
Indeed ii would not be surprising to learn
even that rs gold-mining operations had
greatly increased since the doom of the
white metal was, in his estimation, finally
sounded. When this did take place no
one perhaps but Jones can tell. That it
has taken place his present declaration
!eaves no doubt.
Democrats will not be sorry to part COM
pany with Jones. Unlike his namesake
Of Binghamton, N. Y, he will never go
down to history through his willingness
