upo which were written names of the
men associated in the plays with the
women, so that Ophelia had her Ham

MECCA FOR SCHOOL MA'AMs.
Hyde County Ranchmen Take EN-
Away from Schools.

E '
Miller, S. D., March 9.-There is al
most a panic in many rural school dis
tricts on account Of the large number
of marriages in the ranks of the school
ma'ams. The teachers were sticking
close to their knitting, patiently incul-
eating ideas Of knowledge in the minds
of the young, not particularly com
planning of their small wages, until the
new settlers commenced to move in.
Many of these happened to be young
bachelors. AS one school director said:
These fellers just went smashed on
the pretty girl teachers, and unsettled
their minds by poking fun at their
small wages. Then the trouble COM
menced, as the marriage records show"
Why" remarked this Disguised di-
rector, we've had three teachers in the
last three months, with the fourth one
now complaining of small wages, a sure
sign Of matrimony and trouble In
some districts old men are being
sought as teachers, while married
women or very old maids are in great
demand. The following card was seen
by a horse buyer tackled to a school
house door In an isolated Hyde county
district, where 1t had been impossible
to get a teacher:
Teacher Wanted-If single, must be
old n unattractive, as two wealthy
bachelors threaten to marry the next
teacher of this school,"

MANY r. r. CHANGES.
Absorption by Northwestern of the
EIkhorn Causes a Shake-Up.

Lead, S. D., March 5.-Several changes
are being made IN local officials as a re-
suit Of the absorption by the Northwest
ern system of the Elkhorn railroad. G. e.
Dennis of Deadwood, who has been divi-
sion freight agent, has been made general
agent, and his jurisdiction has been ex-
tended to the passenger business for the
Black Hills territory. V. A.. Hampton,
who has been district passenger agent for
the Black Hills, has been appointed chief
clerk in the office of the assistant general
freight and passenger agent, J. A. Kuhn,
at Omaha, and he is moving from Lead to
Omaha to reside. He has been with the
Elkhorn ever since it built into the Black
Hills. For several years he was freight
agent at Deadwood and was afterwards
passenger agent there. +. A. Harmon,
who has been division superintendent for
the Black Hills division of the Elkhorn,
will retain his position, although his ter
rttory Is now the Black Hills district of
the Northwestern's Nebraska division.
No other changes have been announced

TRIES S. D, COURTS
AS A LAST RESORT
Mrs. Millie 3. De Whit Has In
stituted Suit for Divorce
at Sioux Falls.
WAS DENIED IN NEW YORK.
Woman Charges Desertion of Sever
Years, n-Support and lnfidelity
Demands Absolute Divorce
and Alimony.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 7.-Failink
to secure justice in the New York
courts, Mrs. Mile B. DeWint, who
seven or eight months ago took up her
residence in Sioux Falls, has COM
menced a suit in this state by which
she asks that she be granted a legal
separation from John P. H. DeWint.
a New York attorney. The defendant
has a handsome home at Hampstead
Long Island.
The filing of the suit in South Da-
kota is the elimination of a similar
suit instituted by Mrs. DeWint in 1901
court of Brooklyn. One Of the women
named by Mrs. DeWint as correspond
ent, it was shown at the trial before
Judge Marean, died in 1896. Judge
Marean, after hearing the testimony ON
June 10, 1901, decided that Mrs. De-
Whit had failed to max out a cause
for divorce n dismissed the suit.
An examination Of the papers just
filed by Mrs. DeWint in this state dis.
closes that she makes sensational
charges against her husband and asks
for a divorce en- several grounds.
The couple were married June %.
1881, at Andover, Mass, and nave three,
children. A son aged 20 is married and
resides in New York. There are two,
daughters aged Is and 9. Mrs. De-
Whit has custody of the daughters.
She alleges in her complaint that for
more than a Year past defendant has
failed to provide for her, compelling
her to live upon the charity of friends;
and relatives. He is charged with a
statutory offense at Hampstead, L. l.,
on une 1, 1895.
The plaintiff states that she has been
a dutiful and kind wife and that her
husband has treated her in an ex-
tremely cruel and inhuman manner.
His alleged confession Of wrong doing
with other women, she states, has
caused her the greatest mental an
guish.
1t is further alleged that since Janu-
airy l, 1896, the defendant has without
cause deserted her. She asks tha the
marriage be dissolved and set aside and
that each be absolutely divorced from
the other. Mrs. DeWint asks the Gus
tody Of the two daughters, and that a
reasonable provision be made out Of
the property and income of, the defend
ant for the support of herself and
daughters.

That Supreme Court Decision Worries
Divorces and LAWYERS.

Hot Springs, S. D., March 5.-The re
cent decision rendered by the supreme
court of the United States in he case
of Andrews VS.. Andrews has created
not a little discussion among the attor-
neys of South Dakota, as well as
among those who are in the state hop
ing to secure divorces under the South
Dakota laws. Hot Springs, though with
less cause to become excited over 1t
than most other towns in the state, is
to some extent. OF late years it has be-
come rather a popular place for both
men and women seeking liberty, espe-
cially for New Workers, who come early
in the summer to take advantage of the
gay months, and to rest in the fall,
when they return to the city thoroughly
rested and ready for the strenuous So
ciety life most of them lead. The
mountain air and baths here are an adj
ditional attraction.

WAR ON THE DOGS.
Canton Canine Fanciers Must Put 'Jk
$3.50 Per.

$3.50 Per.
Canton, S. D., March 5.-The author
tiles of Canton la become greatly
agitated over the dog nuisance. The
question has been developed to it's
present magnitude by slow degrees for
a period of several years., and it has
now become so important that people
in all parts OF the city are clamoring
for relief. At the regular meeting Of
the city council H. w Bremen, chief Of
police, was appointed poundmaster,
with instructions to enforce ordinance
1875, providing for a dog license Of $3.50
and for the killing Of every hayward
canine caught out doors without a COL
lar, after being three days detained in
the pound. The present official pound
master las given public notice that a
war of determination on dogs will be
commenced in ten days, and there will
be exciting times in anton after thai
time. A few years G Mayor Bacon
attempted to enforce a similar ordi-
nance, but the owners Of pet CANNES
stood by their animals, and after a
period of hot warfare between them
and the authorities the city was landed
in an expensive lawsuit. The result of
the action of the city council will
therefore be watched with interest.

SESSION IS
MARRIED BY DEATH
State Senators Boyland and
Rudolph Passed Away
Last Evening.
SESSION WAS A SAD ONE
In the Midst Of a Merry Mock Session
in the House the Deaths Are An
nounced-Last Day Not a
Very Busy One. ,

Pierre, S.. D., March Estate Sena~
tors Boyland Of Walworth county, and
Rudolph Of Lincoln county, died last
night, while the last meeting of the
legislature was in session. Tragic and
most sad was the announcement made
in the senate and house. Just as both
houses were congratulating themselves
over the amount of work they had &C.
co1nplished during the eighth session OF
the South Dakota general assembly,
and when all was merriment, the sad
news cast a pail yer h body. I'm
mediately all was changed.
The house passing resolutions of re-
spect and sympathy, a committee was
appointed to attend the funeral. Then
the body adjourned for thirty minutes
out OF respect for the deceased.
But little of interest was done On the
closing day Of the legislature. Only the
sponsors Of a few pet measures were
anxious over the fate Of their bills,
and most of these were gratified.
Evenings Sad interruption.
Immediately after the senate con-
vened after the recess for supper the
death Of Senator H. G.. Boyland of
Walworth county was announced.
Senator Boyland had been sick but five
days with an attack Of pneumonia. His
condition was regarded as serious from
the first, and his death was erroneous
ly announced Thursday night. How
ever he had a slight rally early in the
day yesterday, and he. had a chance
of recovery. The senate was not pre-
pared for the shock, and his death
caused a general feeling of regret and
sadness upon his colleagues.
Senator Boyland was 70 years OF age,
and had been a resident of South Da-
kota for the last twenty years. He was
serving his second term as senator
from his district. The funeral will be
held at Aberdeen tomorrow, and his re-
mains will be taken to his Did home in
New York for interment.
