TIRED OF HUSBAND.
A Waterville Woman Asks the Courts
 to Give Her Freedom.

Mrs Annie H. West of Waterville has instituted suit through Attorney H. k. Durant for divorce from her hus- band, Harry A. West, whom she claims has deserted her.
 A few years ago the Vests were given considerable publicity through a suit brought by the husband for the custody of their children. Mrs West contested the petition, her counsel being then, as now, Mir Dhrant, and she won that suit. Following this she had her husband arrested for unlaw- fully failing to properly maintain her and the children and the city court or dered him to pay $6 week for six months. For a time he obeyed that order then he suddenly dropped out of town and nothing has been seen of him since, though occasionally he has been heard from.
 West is said to be a first class ma chinist and was employed by the Amer ican Pin Go for many years. He Is now supposed to be employed by the government at the Brooklyn navy yard.
 The cause of the trouble between him and his wife is not exactly known, but 1t is said to be fncompatibility of temper Cruelty as well as desertion is alleged by Mrs West in her petition for divorce, which is returnable to the local superior court the first Tuesday in May.

indianapolis, Ind, March 2S.
Northern and central Indiana have

Dispenser AT Hampton Short In
His Accounts.

There is shortage of $500 in
the dlspensary at Hampton. The
case, as reported in this city by
gentleman from Hampton, is of
unusual interest as the lock on
the dispensary door was operated
by combination and the dispen-
ser alleges that his place was rob>
bed by some one who had acquir,
ed information which gave him
access.
When the inspector, Mr.. r. w.
Nichols, checked up the dispen>
sary last Wednesday he was not
satisfied with the condition of af-
fairs and Friday called to make
another inspection. This time he
was accompanied by the chairman
of the county board, Mr.. A. A.
Browning, and it was discovered
that in two days time between
inspections $75 worth of case
goods had been removed. The
matter was reported to the dis
pensary commissioner, Mr.. w. 0.
Tatum, who sent another inspec,
tor, Mr.. G. l. Brown, to verify
the figures of the first. inspector.
Mr.. Tatum declined to make any
statement yesterday, but said he
would do so as soon as he could
heal from the second inspec.

The dispensary door had been
supplied with an additional lock,
but the dispenser seemed to be
sure that his combination lock
was burglar proof and had quit
using both. In cases of this kind
the mode of procedure is to sue
on the dispensers bond for the
shortage, and if criminal intent is
suspected there will be prosecu.

to indicate that there is any other

known. The State.

O'Clock colored woman, Ellen
Dargan, was burned to death in
her house on the plantation of
Maj. S. II. Bacot about three
miles from town. The woman
was alone and the fire is account
ed for in the fact that she was
subject to fits and it is thought
that while in one of these spells her
clothing caught fire. When dis
covered, it was too late even to
save the house which was totally

CHARLESTON DISPENSERS SHAKEN
UP BY CIRCULAR.
Charleston, March 80. = The
circular of the State board of con
ItroL requiring the dispensers to
observe the provisions of the law
has shaken up the dispensary sit.
uation considerably in Charles
ton.
The instructions of the board
we're put into operation this N orn-
ing, causing no little trouble
among the patrons of the State
official grog shops. The conduct
OF the dispensarles has been per-
feet scandal in Charleston IN the
unrestrained manner in which Ii,
quor was sold to minors, drunk
ards and blind tigers and in the
general failure of the dispensary
officials to observe the law.
The main idea in Charleston
has been to sell as much liquor
and increase the profits as much
as possible, and the proposed en-
forcement of the moral features
of the law will be very welcome
to the people generally.
There were hundreds of appli-
cants for liquor turned away from
the dispensaries today, being
largely negroes who had answers
ed to younger age than to those
to whom the law allows the sale
of liquor, but in few days they
will all learn that they must be 81
years old and they will give this
age when they make their appli-
cation.
Some of the dispensers lock
for lapse into the former condi-
tions of unrestrained sale, belisv-
ing that the announced determin-
alton OF enforcing the law to the
spirit and letter is only for effect
upon the constituency of the au-
thorities.
The strict enforcement of the
dispensary law by the officials
themselves would destroy the ar
gument, generally heard here and
elsewhere through he State,
among people who are prejudiced
against the law, that blind tigers
should not be convicted when the
officials are permitted to violate
the law. JurIes might be made
TO do their duty by requiring the
dispensers to observe the law
strictly.

.AN0AER PIERRE FAKE||
Reservoir Filings Pure shams
Says Correspondent From
Chamberlain.

Kimball Graphic: One OF the latest
fakes concocted by the Pierre capital
committee and sent out by the press
bureau for publication is fairy story
about the reservoir filings, which the
public is asked to believe Will make a
sgreater area of water surface west
of the Missouri than exists in all
the rivers and lakes in that portion of
the state east of the river" Refer
ence was made to the matter last
week by the Graphic, whereupon
Chamberlain reader sits down and
sends lis the subjoined communica-
ton. Read it. 1t will give you an
idea how little worth attaches to any
thing sent out by Pierre. Here is how
the reservoir filings are creating a
deluge of moisture west Of the tenn,
porary capital city:
Editor of the Graphic: That res
ervoir filing business will bear still
closer investigation. If the filings
made at the Pierre land Office produce
no greater results than those made at
the Chamberlain land Office 1t will be
some time before second Noah's S
ark will be needed west of the present
state capital. The reservoir filings
are pure sbams-like a good many
other fakes going on in the land busi-
ness, and which Pierre seems to be
working to the limit these days.
'The bill providing for water rights
was originally Intended to protect
from interference the reservoirs con-
structed by the Milwaukee road for
