TWO WOMEN FACE HIM
Each Declarin z That She Is His True and
Lawful Wife-Preacher's Son
in Trouble.

Lincoln, Neb., June 26.-With the
two women whom he lad BETRAYED fac
ing him in court and testifying to his
guilt, Ray G. Smith, alias Harris De-
Far, was bound over for bigamy and
held for trial under heavy bail. Smith
is the son of a prominent Methodist
preacher living in Ames, Ia. The first
wife, once Miss Della Wolgamott, of
Creston and Gleenf cid, Ia, served no
tice upon Smith that she would ap-
ply at once for divorce. After Smith
was led back to a cell the two women
were the actors in fearful scene, en-
bracing each other and venting their
sorrows in piteous sobs.
Leaving the station they walked
down the street hand in hand with
the 4-year-old son of the first wife
toddling along between them. The first
Mrs. Smith will depart for her home in
Greenfield, Ia, where she has been
supporting her child by working as
clerk il a store, but she will return to
prosecute Smith when his case is called
in the district court in September.

Bloomington Bits.

BLOOMINGTON, JUNE 25.-For
years have the citizens of this vii
lage been looking forward to the
time when the shrill whistle of the
locomotive should echo through the
peaceful village and over the pleas
ant rolling prairies. But now the
march of events promises to beat us
out of the locomotive but give us
something just as good, for we are
convinced that Pat Flynn's electric
line from Dubuque to Platteville
will come over to Lancaster and
then give us call.
Grant county is a large territory
of unparalleled richness but has no
interior railroads save the short line
from Fennimore to Lancaster. The
other lines run along the extreme
east, north and west edges, compel
ing the people in a a territory about
4Ox50 miles in extent to haul thou
sands of car loads by team to the
railroads every year, in some cases
distance of many miles.
At certain seasons of the year this
is a serious difficulty, the roads be-
ing so bad as to be almost impass
able, resulting in consequent long
delays and losses to nearly all kinds
of business.
A large per cent of the county is
ready to welcome anything which
promises better facilities for trans
portatiOn. An electric road would
be better in some respects than a
steam road, as it is more conven-
lent and does more business in the
same territory. We hope to be able
to ride over the rails next year
when we go over to see our new
court house unveiled"
Following are some Bloomington
firms who would benefit by an cleo
trio road:
Our village has five general stores,
two of which we have mentioned.
D. F. Brown conducts the Oldest
mercantile business in town, and
his trade is as solid as the walls of
stone masonry which house the
large stock of goods. There are
two floors to this store, the second
one being devoted almost exclusive
ly to clothing. Mr.. Brown is an
old settler here, and is one of our
best citizens. He has held nearly
all the local offices, including chair
man of the town board several years,
during which time he was chairman
of the county board two years.
F. L. Greer and son conduct one
of the best known general merchan
disc houses in Grant county, They
have been in business here many
years and their trade is well estab-
lished and of the highest order.
They are located in the Odd Fellows
building where customers may be
found from a radius Of twenty
miles. They do large mail order
business, which is increasing. The
extensive advertising and general
hustling qualities of this firm do the
village much good in a general way.
A. j. Frazier's store is one of the
most popular trading places in the
village. He is located on the north
side of Canal street, where he may
be found at all times ready to give
bargains in good goods. Mr.. Fra
zier is the president of the village
board, which position he has held
several years. He is an ideal presi
