Wedding at Sioux City Proves tosHave
Been the Third Venture Within a
/ Year for the Woman-Feder.
alton Of Railway Men.

The quiet. wedding at Sioux City,
Tuesday. Of Oscar F. Lockray of
Meckling, S. D., and Sarah l. Haden
of Sioux City," has proved to be the
third marriage within, year of the
woman, who deserted luxurious
home in Council Bluffs for her
strange, hayward career. That such
is the truth was told at Vermilion by
private detective from Council
Bluffs, who has been following her for
months. Her Council Bluffs husband
went to the detective when the wife
deserted him and her eight-months-old
babe. The officer traced her to Den
yer, back to Madison, S. D.; to Aber-
deem, S. D.; Grand Forks, N. D.; Or
tonville, Mimi, and finally to st. Paul.
The detective wired the st. Paul Off
GERS to hold her, but she gave them
the slip and turned up in Sioux Falls.
Before the detective could reach Sioux
Falls she had married one Ulch there,
got $1,4OO of his money and skipped.
The detective arrived at Vermilion
Just in time to find she had procured
a license to marry Lockhart. She
was married at the Chandler house in
Vermilion. The couple went to Sioux
City and did an inexplicable thing.
Another marriage license was pro-
cured there and they were married
again. The wife sent her husband
back to Meckling, saying she would
follow In a few days. AS yet she
hasn't appeared.

An Item for Reflection.

The below Is a card being sent to re-
tail dealers by Forman, Fore g. 90
prominent wholesale dealers of Min.
neapolis. Its truth is striking and
presents case of sheltered monopo
lies, for which our republican friends
can offer no satisfying excuse. The
card reads as follows;
II there was no duty to be paid on
imported Plate Glass, based on today Is
market, an ordinary store front would
cost 1100. 90 +. o. b. Minneapolis. The
same store front, with the present
tarif added, costs S275.OO. the consum-
or being obliged to pay S175.O0 extra
for duty, which is the 'sprotection"
given the "trust''. AS Plate Glass is
manufactured entirely by machines,
no skilled labor entering therein, land
machines are operated about as cheap
IN America as in Europe), it must be
clear to any one that the "trust' is
not entitled to such enormous and un-
reasonable protection" as 1t has at
present, at the expense of the consum-
ers OF Plate Glass.-North Iowa Times.

President Roosevelt probably neg
lected to inform the United States
Supreme Court Judges that he had de.
cided that Admiral Sampson was in
charge when the Spanish feet was de.
stroyed at the battle Of Santiago. Ad.
miral Sampson brought suit for the
prize money due from the destruction
OF that aeet, and the case was decided
last week in the q. s. Supreme Court
against the Sampson claimants. Ad-
miral Sampson, it will be remembered,
was in command of the New York,
and the Supreme Court decided the
claims Of the New York on the ground
that 1t was not in signalling distance
at the time of the capture. But then
OF course Sampson instead of Schley
was in command, for Mr.. Roosevelt
has 80 decided.

The gentler civilization OF the cul-
tured east moves westward very
r.. w..,s slowly. A Colo
RADIO school trus-
the East tee has just de-
manded the dismissal Of a school,
teacher because she persisted in rid
ing horse astride, wearing a di-
vided skirt and thereby "corrupting
the morals Of our children" It took
several hours Of argument to con-
vince him that "nsw women are now
adopting that costume" and that it is
the privilege of any woman to wear
. divided skirt. This is very topsy-
turvy world. One goes, says Ros-
well Field, in the Chicago Post, to
Boston to see the Wild West of 80
years gone, and to Colorado to sec
the Puritan maid of a former gen.
Grafton. Mrs. Atherton's California
stories are read everywhere EXCEPT
in scandalized California, and all the
excuses of early San francisco are
now ladled out in large doses in New
York and Newport. The chances are
that if Jonathan Edwards were to
come back to earth his sense of pro-
priety would compel him to live west
of the Mississippi. In another year
we shall expect to see missionaries
exported from the Rocky mountains
to Massachusetts,.

The Duty Of Democrats.

Now that all trusts and monopoltes
have united in q grand effort to i'm
perialize the democrat party, duty
demands Of every patriot, whatever
NAV have been his former aff1liation,
to rally under the reform banner.
William J. Bryan, in his Commoner
Of last week, says:
"a systematic effort is being made
by the corporation element, composed
OF those who left the democratic party
In 1895 under the pretense Of OPPOSE
tiOn to bimetalism to regain con troll
Of the party organization. The pur-
pose Of these men is to place the party
I'm the position 1t occupied under
Grover Cleveland'S administration.
They pretend to be DESTROYS of har-
mony; and yet democrats cannot for
get that those who are crying Char
mony" now are the ones who destroy
ed harmony and helped to elect re-
ing upon the country the very evils
which they now pretend to be anxious
to remedy.
Harmony, in the view Of these
men, involves not the slightest con-
cession on their part, but the COM
plete surrender, by conscientious
dem ocrats, of the principles which
they are proud to champion and the
ser ious intention that the democ ratio
party shall keep faith with the people.
"It Is 8 reflection upon the party
loyalty Of those who remain true to
the platform to assume that they have
less interest in the party than those
who have cOnspicuOuSly betrayed the
party and its principles. 1t is not
only the duty of those who believe in
the Kansas City platform to assert
themselves, but it is necessary that
they should assert themselves if they
expect to save the party from dis
aster."
Mr.. Bryans warning and advice is
timely. II it is needed and produces
prompt action against the destroyers
of democracy in our government the
party of Jefferson may be extricated
from the power of those who would
wreck it. Before the election oil
Grover Cleveland to the chief magis.
tracy of this government the demo.
crat party was unit hostile to i'm
peralism. Its force in congress, led
by Bland, was successfully resisting
the commercial pirates who demand.
ed the demonstration Of silver an6
the burning of the greenbacks. After
his election, and before he was inaug
urated president, Cleveland command
ed the democrats in congress to vote
for shylock bill demonetizing silver.
Over one hundred of them rebuked
the apostate in strong address. 1t
would have been better had they con-
victed him Of treason and ended his
career upon the scaffold. What he
!, did then he is trying to repeat. We
are glad to record Mr.. Bryan's protest
1t recalls the warning of Abraham
Lincoln against the traitors of the re
publican ational Republican.

The Stomach is the MAN.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because 1t cannot transform the food
ne eats into nourishment. Helth and
strenth cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot
digest enough food to feed the tissues

A federation of the Iowa Central
railway employees belonging to the
various brotherhoods is probable. Sew

fort made to outline a plan for organi-
cation. The employees are not anxious
to take decisive step until they caH
adopt plans satisfactory to both em'
ployes and the company. The organi-
cation is not intended so much as "a
lever with which to secure an increase
of wages as to bring about more sat
isfactery conditions for the laboring
man and for improved methods and
rules of work, beneficial alike to the
men and the company.

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
