IN EUROPE NOW.
The Baking Powder Agent EIuded the
Detectives With Ease and Left
tho Country.

New York, March 4.-Daniel J. Yelly,
we'll known to Missourians as the legis-
Iative agent of the Royal Baking powder
trust, Is now sojourning in London, after
having given the slip to detectives who
have been ~shadowing him for months in
Canada, where he fed to avoid arrest on
a charge Of bribery.
Blanche Kelly, his wife, who was often
credited with being the brains Of the COM
pany which incidentally conducted the
american Queen" Is said to have sailed
to Liverpool to join her husband. 1t was
said upon reliable authority that she
sailed on tho steamer Cedric last Thurs
day under the name Of Mrs. j. Daniel"
When o reporter called at the Plaza
hotel, where she had been living since
her return from anada some weeks ago,
he was informed that Mrs. Kelly had de-
parted from there, but all information as
to where she had gone was refused.
Daniel j.. Kelly is now registered at the
Hotel Cecial in London. 1t is supposed
that he sailed for Europe when he disap-
peared from Montreal several weeks ago.
The direct cause for Kely's visit to
Europe Is said to be the belief that a
treaty is about to be negotiated with
Canada looking to the extradition Of all
persons charged with bribery. =
Detectives VIVA have been watching
Kelly agree that he is one Of the sharpest
men they were ever engaged to shadow.
Kelly, long before he left Montreal. made
daily trips to the depot as If he intended
to depart, but each day he returned as
usual to his hotel. 1t grew SO natural for
him to visit the station that nothing was
thought of 1t and one day the elusive Mr..
Kelly was gone. No one seemed to know
where. The detectives who had been
trailing him constantly day and night
did not see him depart and the mystery
was where had he gone.

First Husband IN the
Battle of Waterloo.
MARRIEs THREE TIMES
And She Had Fourteen Children and
Many Grandchildren, Every One of
Whom She OutIived, Dying
Without a Relative.

LIE Sueur, Mimi, March 5.-The most
remarkable existence of a human be-
ing-one who came into the world PR
e%ntless, who lived Ill years, and who
died here this week, leaving not a
single descendant, is that Of Mrs.
Pureheart Wakeley.
After a very short illness, Mrs. Wake

three times n became the mother Of
fourteen children, who all lived to the
age Of twenty years or more, and many
Of whom married and became fathers
and mothers, yet all of Mrs. Wakeley's
husbands relatives died before she did,
and at her death she left not a relative
to survive her.
Never Had a Father.
Her life experiences were remarkable.
Three months before her birth, and on
July 8, 1893, her father, who was one Of
the imperial guards of the person Of
the Dauphin of France, was killed by
the Jacobin shoemaker Antoine Simon,
to whom the young prince was given in
charge by the reVolutionists. Her
mother, Who was English by birth, died
in giving birth to her only child, whom
a distane English relative named her
Pureheart. Her fathers name was Isa-
dore DumOurieZ.
AT the age of sixteen Pureheart Du-
mourieZ was married to q captain in
the English army, who, two years later,
was killed at the battle of Waterloo.
The young widow, shortly after her
bereavement, came to the United States
| with a party of emigrants and, foul
| years later, married a mar named Ed
! ward Gray, who enlisted in the army
and was the first American soldier
killed by the MeXicans, August 10, 1S47,
In the first attack on the city of Mexico.
She then went to California with q
party of goldseekers, in 1850, and there,
in 1860, BARRED Oscar Wakeley, a sue
cessful miner.

Two years later the Wakeleys re-
moved from California to Johnstown,

except Mrs. Wakeley and one son, We're
destroyed by being drowned in the FLOOD
Of May, 1889.
With his son Mrs. Wakeley came to
Minnesota, and here she bought a large
farm in Sharon township, near this
place. Six years later they rented the
farm and moved to Galveston, Texas,
where the son lost his life in the storm
and tidal wave that overwhelmed that
city. Mrs. Wakeley escaped and came
back to the farm here, where she re-
sided until her death. dying intestate.

marriage of Baron f. l.. Won Veltheim Of
brunswick, Germany, to Miss Carrie

hight at the Congregational parsonage,
REV. B.. G.. Mattson officiating. The ut
most secrecy was maintained by the cou-
ble to the last, and nothing pertaining to
their wedding could be CLEANED from them.
although the baron was willing to talk to
reporters on other subjects. The bride
had just recently obtained a divorce in
WATERFOWL, although ner residence was
made at Sioux Falls. Miss Hulse came
here Monday and made the necessary ar
engagements to be married Monday night
but the baron did not get here until yes
'terday noon. This delay caused a violent
quarrel between the two, which started
i'm the Pierce hotel dining room where the
two met on the nObleman'a arrival. All
afternoon the dispute was carried on, the
couple being entirely oblivious Of the at
tention they were attracting as they paced
the streets here. 1t was finally settled
In some way and the wedding was very
privately contaminated at last. Who the
countess, as she now is, really was, Is

of European nobility to visit Yankton
will eventually turn out TO be of that class,
