Miss Klein Tells of Inmorality-of Con-
suls in Liberia.

Washington, April Exchanges of
gross immortality on the part OF con-
sular officials located at Liberia We're
made by Miss a. A. Klein. one of the
speakers at today's session of the Flor
ence Crittenton mission, in a talk on
Preventive and Rescue Work for Girls
in Africa" Miss Klein has been in
Liberia as a missionary of the Lutheran
church stationed at MuhlcnbeTg, thirty
five miles from the capital, but almost
Infinitely removed, she explained, from
the civilization of that city.
She said foreign consuls. when on
their way to the interior on business,
frequently stopped at her mission sta
ton, where they would speak lightly
of their licensious excuses. Native
women, she said, were regarded BY
these consuls as legitimate prey, GRIM
inal assault was common, and III many
instances unCouCcaled.
Miss Klein declared the natives, ut
least in the vicinity where she was
stationed, upheld n high standard of
morals. Adultery is punished by $tun-
ing to death, and the natives live close
" akin to the Mosaic laws. The tondi-
ton she described, she said, had great
~ impeded the work of missionaries.
Miss Klein specifically exempted the
Rev. Ernest Lyon, the United States
consul at Monrovia. the capital, from
the charges made against the other
consular officials ana paid a high trib-
ute to him.

great deal of Rheumatism in this and
neighboring States, and this painful
disease has crippled many a strong
man and woman among an otherwise
healthy people.
Recently, however, there has been
introduced into Utah a remedy for
Rheumatism which bids fair to stamp
out this awfully painful complaint. The
name of this new remedy is Dodd's

wrought some wonderful cures. Right
here in Frisco there is a case of a Nj.

his feet that he could hardly walk. He
tried many remedies in vain, but

"fas Also Principal in Several Clevef
Schemes by Which She Secured
Considerable Property From
Divorced Husbands.

Sioux Falls, S, D., April 29.-Some-
thing of a sensation has been created
IN this city by the marriage of r.. w.
Kelley and Mrs. Amelia Meyers, both
of whom are old residents of this part
of the state.
The marriage is the elimination of "a
series of matrimonial romances In
which the bride has been an actor dur
ing the past twenty or twenty-five
years. Her record cannot be duplicated
in this part Of South Dakota.
Her maiden name was Bernard.
Some years ago she married n man
named Allen, who was her first hus-
band. Becoming tired of him she Is
alleged to have kicked him out of the
house. Then she bestowed her affec-
ions upon James Mason, married him,
afterwards securing possession of his
property. When she had accomplished
this she applied for and was granted Il
divorce from him.
Husband No. 3 was an individual
named Count Won Horn, who drifted
to Sioux Falls from Germany. After
living with him for a time she again
resorted TO the divorce courts and was
released from this matrimonial alliance.
She next married Louis Meyers, a
farmer living near Sioux Falls. After
II married lie of only about a year
Meyers and his wife, who could not
agree, separated, he giving her u quar-
ter section of LAM and $500 in cash. She
secured a divorce from him.

self. mother, two sisters and Il sister

ticket held by the then Mrs. Mason
drew the sum of SIS, 600. She refused to
divide the proceeds of their invest
ment. Her mother, sisters ana sister
in-law carried the matter into the
courts for the purpose OF striving to
compel her to divide the $50 0 in nc
cordancc with the agreement, IL as
the money was Won In Il lottery the
case was thrown out of court. Having
her relatives thus completely at her
mercy, Mrs. Mason gave each of the
four the sum of 81, 200 and kept the
remainder of the $4,000 herself.
Herself and husband No. 5 have de-
parted for the Pacific coast. where it Is
understood 1t is their intention to re-

Seeding OF Wheat Finished in Part
and Other Wnrk P-rnnresSinn

ana Othef work progressing.
Huron, S. D., April 2S.-The season
Is very backward. The weather during
the week was unSeasonably cool. In the
fore part of the week there was Il gen
erous fall of rain or snow, and some
sleet, over the eastern portion of the
state which much retarded seeding
operations and left considerable low or
hat land too wet to work. The pre-
cipitation "a Slight in the extreme
western counties, where most moisture
is needed.
The seeding of wheat is practically
iinished in the southern counties, where
also the sowing of oats is far advanced,
and in the middle counties wheat seed
ing is about half finished; but cool and
wet soil has retarded termination and
growth of grain, and from a number
OF localities there is report of a little of
the earliest sown wheat and oats rot
ting.
Considerable barley has been sown
in the extreme southern counties.
Winter rye and also the limited
amount of winter wheat sown are gen
orally looking well, but need warm
weather.
Grass is very backward and affords
little ~ no pasturage for live stock
on the ranges. Generally, range stock
is thin, n in many localities feed is
scarce, and the cold ain and snow are
hard on stock.
Gardening and potato planting made
slow progress.
Spring blowing made fair progress
on high or well drained land, but there
IS much yet to be done.
