IEL(VE OF 4 WOMAN
ADOLPH BIsCHOFF, SOUTH DAKOTA
BUSINESS MAN, HAS BE-
COME INSANE
SHE IS HIS DIVORCED WIFE
He Had Remarked, for the Third
Time, but the Desire for HIS
Former Mate Wrecked
His Mind.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 23.-(Spe-
cial. )--Love for a divorced wife after
both had remarked and constant brood
ing over the fact that he had lost her
forever, caused Adolph Bischoff, a prom
inent and well-to-de business man Of
Eureka, S. d., to become violently in
sane. He is now an inmate of the Nc
Pherson county jail, pending his removal
to the state hospital for the insane at
YanlSton. The case is an unusual one.
Bisehoff has been three times married.
His first wife died a few years ago.
Some time after her death he married
his deceased wife's sister. This second
marriage, however, did not prove
happy one. and his wife finally left him.
She instituted an action for a divorce,
and was granted decree on the grounds
of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Bischon was persistent in seeking q
reconciliation, but she would not listen
tic his appeals, and shortly after securing
the divorce from him she became the wife
of another. Soon afterward Bischon
planned a trip to Russia, the land of his
birth, thinking that perhaps a change Of
scene would enable him to forget his
second love- He gathered together all his
earthly wealth, sold such property as he
could, and negotiated for transportation
to take him back to the scenes Of his
childhood. However, almost on the eve
of his departure, he surprised his friends
by getting married for the third time
and abandoning the contemplated trip to
Russia. After his third matrimonial ven
ture BischoR seemed for time to be
happy and contented, but the old love
for his divorced wife famed forth anew,
anG brooding over the fact that he had
lost her forever affected his mind. He
has been acting in a strange manner for
several weeks, and one night recently,
when the temperature lowered around
the zero mark, he wandered into the
country without hat or coat in search OF
his divorced wife. He wandered around
the country for several days, until final
ly he was returned to his friends by a
farmer to whose home he had wandered
in his fruitless search. Owing doubtless
to his close confinement In the county
jail, he Is steadily becoming more violent,
and unless room can speedily be found
for him at the Yankton asylum, which is
overcrowded with patients, he Will have
to be taken to an asylum III some adjotn-
ing state.

The reconsideration of the state Off
GERS, salary and residence bill brings L1ls
matter again to the fore. This bill was
originally introduced by Senator Cox, of
Barnes county, and provided for an ill-
crease of $500 in the annual salary of the
state officers. The appropriation COM
mittee cut out the salary provisions and
reported a bill declaring that state off,,
GERS must actually reside at the seat of
government or lose their salary. There
has been a good deal Of complaint in
the past that state officers have merely
come to the capital to draw their salary
and that the functions of their offices
were performed altogether by deputies.
When the bill came up for passage SEN
ator Cox amended it to get the increased
salary provisions back again. Then the
Pill was defeated. 1t was reoonsidered,
the railroad commissioner i've in
Bismarck stricken out. These officers
get only $1,000 annually, and to include
them IN the provisions of the bill would
mean that good men would not ACCEPT
the positions. AS so amended the bin
passed the senate. The house is likely
to ba1k at the increased salary provisions
Of the bill.
