President Roosevelt was the first to

about for some one to send to the aid OF
the two unfortuntes, but his eye lighted
on no one. Finally he stepped between
the two.
"He only wants you to go to the other
side of the railing, so that he can take
his picture" the president explained to
the policeman. Then he said in German
to the sailor: He is very glad to oblige
you"
The German took one look at the

were not deceiving him. Then he stiff

HARG[Ng' FIRST WIFE
The Dark Side OF An Eastern

Who Married the Rich
Mrs. Hunt.

Exploited.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs. Feb. 27.-Living with
her children at coy little home in this
city is a quiet little woman who, until
a year or two ago, thought HE worth
living, and who had one of the pleas
ATTEST homes in all South Dakota. The
woman mentioned is the divorced wife
Of Charles W. Hargens. of Hot Springs
S. D., and who recently was married at
South Bend. Ind, to Mrs. Pearl Carley
Hunt of New York city. The marriage
of these parties was made a great deal
over by the eastern press and was the
society event of the month in the state
of Indiana.
Interest attaches to the case at this
time from the former residence OF DE-
Hargens in this part of the country
Thirteen years ago he was the principal
of the schools at Little Sioux and the
little woman in this city was teacher
under him. Their association as fellow
teachers ripened into love and finally
eliminated in their marriage year Ia
ter Mr.. Hargens in 1891 went to Chi
cago and studied medicine, graduating
from there in 1895. He soon came to
this city with his wife and settled down
to the practice of his profession but Ia
ter removed to Hot Springs, where he
soon became one of the leading and
most prosperous physicians.
The married life of these people had
been the pleasantest during all these
years, so relates the former Mrs. Har-
gems. About two years ago, she al
leges, that Mrs. Hunt came to the
Springs, ostensibly to receive treat
ment, but in fact to gain a residence In
order to secure divorce from her hus-
band. who is prominent New York
business man. DIR. Hargens was called
as her physician and during months
absence of Mrs. Hargens from the city
on visit she claims, he formed an at
tachment for the Hunt woman and did
everything in his power to get her tC
secure divorce. This she refused to
do I'LL she saw that further living with
him was out of the question. and then
her charges We're simply desertion.
The day that the Hunt woman Sc
cured divorce from her husband Will
liam 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, it even being in
timated that it was his money that paid
her expense of securing the divorce.
DIR. Hargens is now mayor of Hot
Springs, and has but recently returned
fhara with his now wife

PRESIDENT AMUSED.
Little Side Comedy at the Launching

New York, Feb. 27.-During the pro-

WHEAT A POINT LOVER
Trade Was Quiet and the Influ-
ences OF Bearish Nature
Poor Demand.
Corn Was Generally Firm With
Considerable Demand and
Professional Buying.
Hogs S to 10 Cents Lower and
Cattle Slow and Steady
Sheep Weak.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-May wheat opened
ls@A to A@3s of a cent lower at 'o9s
tc 76h on steady cables, heavy north
western receipts and rather bearish re-
norris of crop conditions. Trade was
quiet. May sold at 761s after having
touched ,16la. Prediction for heavy
storm in the west and southwest had
little effect. Later May steadied around
1614 a 1865.
Corn strength and predictions of
colder weather led to covering and buy
ing Of wheat. May advanced sharply
to TVS. Quiet business and poor sea-
board demand caused later liquidation
and May closed ls@14 lower at 76as.
The feeling in corn was rather firm.
May opened unchanged to u of a cent
higher at 6OA on firm cables and re-
ports. There was improved demand late
yesterday in the west from feeders and
also from the southwest. May eased
to 6OAs, but sold at 60A again
The southwest was n fair buyer and
professional bulling carried May to 6lA
@617s. Liquidation brought slight re-
action, but the close was firm, May half
cent higher at 613s.
Oats We're quiet and slightly easier
early. Country offerings We're light and
May opened shade higher at 1872,
sold to 1885 and then declined to 4Sh.
Receipts were again liberal in the
hog market and prices at the yards
were lower. This prompted early SELL
ing in pork and brought lower open
ing all around in provisions. Later,
however, the market was dull and
prices reacted slightly and steadied.

Brigands Secure Promise From
Captives Not to Reveal
Identity Of Captors.
Prisoners We're Very Uncertain
Regarding the Details OF
Their Wanderings.
State Department Has Not De.

Pursue.

Salonica, Roumania, Feb. 27.-Miss
Ellen NJ. Stone and Madame Tsilka VIII
start, without delay, from here for Con-
stantinople. Miss Stone says the brig
ands swore both of their captives to
absolute secrecy regarding any lnfor-
nation calculated to establish the iden-
tity of the brigands, the location of the
places where they were concealed, or
other facts likely to compromise their
captors.
AS matter of fact, the prisoners
themselves are very uncertain regard
ing many details of their wanderings.
They did not know when they were re-
leased in what section of the country
they We're. An arrangement had been
made to release Miss Stone and her
companion near Sores, Macedonia,
where Dragoman Garguilo and Mr..
House were waiting for them; but the
trigands, owing to timidity or other
wise, declared it was too difficult to
carry out the plan, and brought their
captives. after hard night march.
within one and a half hours of Stru-
mitza The two women were left I'M
der the shelter of a tree at $3.50 in the
morning of Feb. 2S. The bandits point
ed out the direction of the village, and
ordered the captives to report them
selves to the village elder, who, on
learning of their identity, would pro-
vide for them. The brigands then
turned back and disappeared among
the hills.

United States MAY Not Act.

Washington. Feb. 27.-The first Off
cial communication Of the many re-
ports that have come from Europe that
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone. the American
missionary, had been released by her
bulgarian captors came to the state de-
partment yesterday in a telegram from
MIR. Leishman, the American minister
az Constantinople.
No decision has been reached by the
state department as to whether any
action shall be taken against thaSe
people who may have been responsible
ia an official way for the safety of Miss
Stone The attitude of the Turkish
government toward the efforts of the
American agents to secure the release of
the captive woman has not been pleas
ing to the authorities here. but as most
of the information concerning the atu-
tude has been CLEANED from newspaper
reports 1t will not be accepted as final.
Mr.. Leishman and the other American
Representatives in Turkey will, of
course. send detailed statements of the
circumstances connected with the cap
ture and the attempts to ransom Miss
Stone and her companion, and on these
the state department will base any
representations to the Turkish and
Bulgarian governments which it may
deem itself justified in making.
The responsibility of Turkey and
Bulgaria for the capture and contin
ued detention of Miss Stone involves a
delicate international question which
the United States government is not
prepared to decide at this time. From
what was said yesterday it is apparent
that the government may drop the
whole matter, believing that any aSita-
ton on the subject will bring conse-
quent activity on the part of the Turk
ish and Bulgarian troops in the country
infested by the brigands, and may re-
suit in reprisals against other Ameri-
can missionaries by men who abducted
Miss Stone and Nine. Tslka.
Another matter involved is whether
the agents sent out by Mr. Leishman to
negotiate with the brigands for Miss
Stones release promised the brigands
immunity from punishment for their
crime. If such a promise was made this
government may deem it proper as q
matter of honor to take no further
steps in the case, altho there is de-
cided sentiment in the state depart
ment that the department can properly
decline to recognize any compact with
set of outlaws.
