man r. II. Spence has sent out notices
to the members of the republican state
central committee and also to the
members of the delegation the candi-

conference here September 1. The

republican leaders have figured on a
short but extremely energetic cam

John Sahm and Miss Hamel,
of Dubuque, Have Embark
ed For Australia
WIFE STILL IN IGNORANCE
Mrs. Sahm, Who Is Still Visiting in
Philadelphia, Knows Nothing as Yet,
of Her Husbands Alleged Desertion
of Her-Employer Becomes Fascina-
ted by His Charming Typewriter.
pecial to TImes-Republican,

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. Aug 11.-Another chapter
has been added to the story of the al
legged elopment of John Sahm and Miss
Nellie Hamel, whose disappearance
from this city several days ago created
such sensation here, inasmuch as
Mr.. Sahm was a married man. Mr..
Sahm, 1t is said, was fascinated by the
charming little typewriter, a handsome
brunette. While his wife was on 4
visit to Philadelphia, despite the per-
suaslon OF his friends, to the most in
innate of whom he appears to have
given his confidence. Mr. Sahm left in
Miss Hamers company on an east
bound train, presumably for Chicago.
The relatives of the pair hushed the
matter up as speedily as possible, and,
as no word was received concerning
them, 10 rouse further comment, the
episode was partially forgotten. Now,
however, comes the informant ton that
Mr.. Sahm and Miss Hamel embarked
at Vancouver's Island for Australia
While the former had little beyond his
income the latter was in possession of
$500 at the time she left the city, her
share in the insurance money from
her fathers death. The sad part of the
whole affair is that Mrs. Sahm knows
nothing as yet of her husbands al
legged escapade, no one apparently hav-
ing the courage to communicate the
dreadful tidings to her. A letter adj
dressed to her erring husband just re-
ceived, asks him pathetically why he
does not write. Fortunately she has no
children.
