TWO MRS. HARGENS
Dark Side Of Romance Of Mrs. Hunt
and the Doctor.
WIFE NOW IN IOWA
How the Woman Who Refused II
Vanderbilt Parted II south
Dakota Couple.

Special to The Journal
Jefferson, Iowa, Feb. 2S.-Living with
her children in a little hotel in Council
Bluffs IS quiet little woman, who until
year Or two ago thought life worth the
living and who had one of the pleasantest
homes in all South Dakota. The woman
is the divorced wife of DR.. Charles w.
Hargens, of Hot Springs, S. D., who re-
Gently was married at South Bend, Ind,
to Mrs Pearl Carey Hunt, of New York
city. The marriage of this couple was
made the subject of columns of newspaper
space because Of its romantic character
and was society event of state wide ind-
portance in Indiana. But the dark and
seamy side of the romance was not told,
and perhaps was known only to the bride
and bridegroom, who must have felt a
tinge of remorse at the wrong done the
faithful little woman whom Hargens- cast
aside for the eastern belle. -
Interest attaches to the case at this
time from the former residence of DR.. Har-
gems in this part Of the country. Thirteen
years ago he was the principal Of the
schools at Little Sioux, Iowa, and the
woman he married was a teacher. Their
association ripened into love and finally
eliminated in their marriage>a year later.
MI HargenS in 1891 went to Chicago and
studied medicine, graduating in 1895. He
soon came to this city with his wife and
settled down to the practice, Dut later re-
moved to Hot Springs where he soon be-
came one of the leading and most prosper
Gus physicians.
The married life of the Hargens was the
pleasantest, so relates the former Mrs.
Hargens. About two years ago she al
leges that Mrs. Hunt came to the springs,
ostensibly to receive treatment, but in
fact to gain residence In order to Sc
cure a divorce from her husband, who is
prominent New York business man. DR..
Hargens was called as her physician and
during months absence Of Mrs. Hargens
from the city on a visit. she says, ne
formed an attachment for the Hunt woman
and did everything in his power to get
his wife to secure divorce. This she re-
fused to do till she saw that further llv-
ing with him was out OF the question and
then her charges were simply desertion.
The day that Mrs. Hunt secured a d.
vorce William X. Vanderbilt came to Hot
Springs and is said to have asked her to
become his wife, which he had repeatedly
done both before and since, 1t even being
intimated it was his money that PAID her
expense Of securing the divorce.
DR.. Hargens is now mayor of Hot
Springs and has but recently returned
there with his new wife.

LONGS SUCCESSOR

Congressman Moody of Massachu-
sets May Be. Secretary of Navy.
Ne.o York. s.sa. Special Service .-
Washington, Feb. 28.-Massachusetts
men in Washington are quite confident
that Representative William Henry
Moody will either be appointed secretary
of the navy to succeed John D. Long, who
will retire in few weeks, or associate
Justice Of the supreme court, to succeed
Horace Gray, who, If he RECEIVERS from
the slight attack of paralysis, will prob
ably resign at an early day, he will
be "a years old next month. 1t is pos
sible that Secretary Long will be APP
pointed to succeed Judge Gray, but those
who are acquainted with the situation in
Massachusetts and in Washington do not
appear to think that this will be done.
Mr.. Moody Is rated as an able man
and very clever lawyer. He Is 4S years
old, is graduate of Harvard, was district
attorney of the eastern district of Mas
sachusetts from 1890 to 1895, and was
elected to the fifty-fourth and succeeding
congresses. He is an honest, able, hard
working man and one of the so-called
war horses of the republican side of the
house. .7. ~.

The best mail service in the world is
furnished by our government. The pres
ent arrangement of the United States
government for the transportation Of mail
matter from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast in less than four days is not par
alleled in any other part of the world.
This also is very striking commentary
on the excellent condition and splendid
management of the American railroads.
A large amount of mail passing between
the Atlantic and Pacific is carried through
the twin cities, necessitating exceptional
ly fast service between these points and
Chicago. The Milwaukee road was years
ago selected by the United States gov
eminent as the official fast mail line to
and from the northwest, and is the road
to which the business public looks for its
mail facilities. Two fast trains carrying
nothing but mail are run daily between
the twin cities and Chicago, and the Mil
waukee also operates five passenger
trains to and from Milwaukee and Chi
cago-including the celebrated Pioneer
Limited. the famous train Of the world.

JAPAN AND KOREA
Land of the Little Brown Man Doing
the Anaconda Act.

Victoria, B. c.. Feb. 2S.--K. sunisto,
managing editor Of the Japanese Times of
Toxic, arrived last night. He said that
the Anglo Japanese treaty would certain
ly make enemies for Japan, as Great
Britain was none too popular in the far
east but she could afford to do SO with
England behind her. Manchuria, he said,
was very rich and it was the policy of
the United. States, England and Japan to
keep the country open to the world and
prevent Russia from holding it for Rus
SLAMS only Mr.. Sunisto thinks England
made a mistake in giving up Wei-Hal-
Wei, for it leaves her without a port at
the entrance to the Northern sea, which
both Germany and Russia possess.
J All talk of Russia Selling a port In
Korea has ceased Japan is taking quiet
possession of the peninsula, building rail-
ways and telegraph lines and colonizing
the country, while Russia is losing pres
tige with the Koreans. Mr.. SunistO said
the Japanese government was doing its
best to discourage immigration to Canada
and America. He said trade between the
countries Is increasing rapidly.

given her against her, will by David 6.
James of Richland Center, former head

every charge that the woman makes, say
Ing it is a barefaced attempt to black
mail him. and that he proposes TO fight
the suit to the bitter end.
The first step, won by the defense, Is
that the trial will take place in Richland

woman is little known. The deposition is,
in effect, that James visited her home
when her husband was away at work
and kissed and Rugged her. Three specific
kisses, she alleges, were given her.

Boston, Feb. c9.-President Dickerson,
of the American Tinplate company, dealt
in some startling figures in his address
at the New England Iron and Hardware
associations annual banquet.
1--WE have millionaires now; we are
talking of billionaires, it is not impossible
that we shal soon have trillionaires," he
said. Speaking of money accunulators,
he said:
We can see farther thar, our grandfathers,
but the twentieth century will see men cap
able of dealing with fourteen or fifteen figures
as readily as grandfthers dealt in seven
| figures.
When President Dickerson spoke of the
millionaire scarcely man who heard him
| thought of the tremendous sum mentioned
in the prediction. Some Of them figured
! it out. According to computation, if 433
| men were put to work counting this vast
| sum at birth. and Scounted continuously
! until death lat the Biblical three score
| and ten, the task would be completed in
| time to give each man a few seconds in
which to die. One man counting ait the
rate of 81 second every day would be oc-
| cupied for 31,709 years, 2S0 days and two
| hours in counting the trillion. When they

We call steam our servant, this force

What is the consequence? Scant time

TWO MEN IN A VACUUM
PECULIAR EXPERIMENT IS MADE
Gasoline Engine in This Situation

Than Man.

Neav York Sun Special Service
Galveston, Texas, Feb. 2s.-A gasolene
engine will die out more quickly than a
imam in a vacuum. This was demonstrated
by Lake, the inventor, in his experiments
with his submarine boat, and with him
at the time was James K. T. Meade, who
is here attending the completion Of the
customs launch r. B. Hawley. Said Mr..
Meade:
Mr.. Lake wanted to find out how long the
engine would work if the compressed air gave
out. So he sealed UP the boat air tight, shut
off the compressed air and started the engine.
He stood on a ladder and stationed man out
side with hammer with Instructions to
break the glass if he saw him faint The
engine ran less than five minutes. The only
discomfort We felt was a heavy pressure Oh
the ears and we had to gasp with wide open
mouths to get enough air to overcome that
feeling. There was a pressure OF only 2k
inches when the engine stopped, it having ex-
hausted practically all the air up to that
point. Mr. Lake then let in the air slowly
and it came like kissing steam from jet. I
never realized until then what the normal
pressure we daily experience Of fourteen
pounds to the square inch meant.
