HAS TWO HUSBANDS
Mrs. Digas Finds That She
Has One Too Many

Mrs. Emma Diggs, colored, formerly
Mrs. Emma Cheney, has discovered
that she now has two husbands, both
OF them living, and has secured a d.
vorce from neither of them The affair
was brought to light yesterday morn
Ing in police court when Mrs. Diggs,
which is the name of her latest hus-
band, swore out a warrant for his ar
rest on the charge of embezzlement.
Mrs. Cheney stated that she first met
Diggs last September, she was then
married to George Washington Cheney,
but the couple had not been living to-
gether for some time. Dlggs began an
ardent wooing and Mrs. Cheney hark-
ened to his pleadings and decided to
secure a divorce from her husband
Mrs Diggs asserted that Diggs offered
to see that the divorce was granted
and the woman left the matter in his
hands.
Early in October he informed his
prospective bride that she must hand
out S25 in. order to secure divorce
and Mrs. Cheney produced the SIS. A
lew days later Diggs told her the di-
Yorce, had been granted and Mrs. Che
ney began to make preparations for
her second marriage. On Nov 16 the
couple were married by Court Com
missioner Gallick. Shortly after the
MAJ - iiaSe DiSSs proposed pIan whereby
the couple could secure sufficient fur
niture for their needs by purchasing 1t
all at once. The woman, who now sup
posed herself to be Mrs. Diggs handed
out 800. Diggs took possession of the
money and disappeared After waiting
some time his bride started an invests
CATION, with the result that Diggs was
arrested on the charge OF embezzle-
ment. Diggs was given until Monday
to plead and in the meantime will
spend his time at the county jail.

PRIMARY MEASURE
MEETS OPPOSITION
Bill Extending System to EIec-
ton of State Officers
Barely Escapes

The bill for an act to regulate the
nomination Of party candidates for
state offices, introduced by the senate
committee on elections, was discussed
in committee of the whole yesterday
forenoon, where ii met with opposition.
senator Laybourn moved that the
committee or the whole recommend the
bill to pass. but Senators Alley and
Calhoun opposed it strenuously with
the result that Senator Laybourn with
drew his motion and progress was re-
ported
The bfll provides for holding a state
convention in the latter part of June,
at which candidates for all state Off
ces may submit their names for the
various offices desired. The delegates
VIII ballot once only for each candi-
date for nomination, and the three re-
ceiving the greatest number of votes
for each office shall be entitled to GER
t1fcates authorizing the election au-
thorit1eS to place their names on the
primary election ballots the following
September. :
1 In behalf of the bill Senator Law
bourn dwelt upon its provisions, which
he contended were equivalent to ap-
plying the. primary system to the NOM
nation of candidates for state offices
under the primary system.
In discussing the methods provided
Tor naming the candidates for governor,
Senator Eaybourn declared they gave
the people full voice, as any citizen, of
Minnesota could present his nanfe be-
fore regular party convention Re-
ferring to the likelihood that any man
with gllbernatorial aspirations would
undoubtedly makelknown his candidacy
for the nomination long before the.
convention meets, Senator Laybourn
remarked:
For instance, the name of one pros.
pective candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket is already known to
this body"
Senator Schaller. who was presiding,
saw his chance here. and remarked
with mock gravity:
1.-The senator is out of order in re-
ferring to a member of this senate"
AS ne said this Chairman SchaIler
glanced in the direction of Senator
Lord. SO did all the other senators,
while the member from Dodge smiled
and redeemed trifie.
Senator Calhoun attacked the, BILL
called 1t a freakish measure and moved
that the committee of the whole rec
ommend its indefinite postponement.
Il don't like to see this bill killed this
way, said Senator Laybourn, so I'll
withdraw my motion that it be recon-
mended for passage and move that
progress be reported"
The committee permitted the ST.
Louis senator to withdraw his motion
and voted to report progress. The
bills chances of passing look very slim.
Senator SomeFvilie's bill providing
for the collection of a tax on inheri-
tances. Senator Wilson's bill prohib-
iting corporations organized under the
laws of Minnesota from holding stock
holders meetings for the election of
directors outside the state, and Sen
ator 4. e. Smiths bill for the assess
no. ant of
compensation of road overseers in
counties of 10000 or more, were
among the measures recommended to
pass.

CAPT. HENRY TELLS
OF IRISH BRIGADE
Acker Post Holds Farewell
Meeting in Central Hall
Quarters

After more than a dozen years OF
occupancy of the quarters in Central
lhalL.Acl1er post No. 81, G. A. r., held
the farewell meeting last night, and
will hereafter occupy quarters in the
old capitol building. This is made pos
sible by an act of the present legis-
lature, which has granted the use of
public buildings anywhere in the state
to patriotic societies.
To commemorate the last meeting in
the old home, the post had arranged
programme and invited the friends to
attend. The principal number of the
evening was a paper on 1.-The Irish
Brigade in the Army of the Potomac,
by Capt. Patrick Henry of the United
States engineers office.
Pays High Tribute
Capt Henry paid a high tribute to
those sons of Erin whose love for their
adopted country led them to form the
Irish brigade, under the command of
Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher of New
York, who had come to this country
with. Carl Schurz and Franz Siegel
after the period of revolution swept
'oVer Europe in 1848.
The heavy fighting, which time and
again% depleted the ranks of the bri-
gade, was dealt with by Capt Henry
p in detail. At the battle of Fredericks-
burg, he said, the brigade went into
the combat with 1850 men and came
out with less than 30O Within a
stones throw of the muZzles of the
enemy'S guns lay the bodies of those
who gave up their lives. At the battle
of Gettysburg the brigade went in with
$50 men, though the original strength
was 5000 men, and recruits had been
! reeeiYed to the number of 2.970.
Mary's HsfahtsA Slaughter
But the greatest glory of the brigade,
was won on 1.-The field befores sMary's
Heights Dec. 13, 186z.esThe regimental
coloFs, long expected failed to arrive,
and the eommande erinstructed the men
to PLACE green sprigs in their hats. The
awful slaughter of the brigade was
known by these same green sprigs in
q the hats Of the men as they LAY dead
on the field.
. e.. S. Chittenden acted as chairman
of the meeting. Miss Jennette Dohm
!. played a piano solo,, and Miss Ruby
4 Bilingsly gave a recitation. Owen
Morris sang several selections, accom-
panied by Mime. fnga Olund as pianist.
e. S. Chittenden read selections from
the diary of David Kennedy, who was
/, a prisoner at Andersonville. The meet
ing closed with the singing of Amer
i ica."
After this the post will meet on the
: first and third Fridays in each month
in the supreme court rooms of the old
capitof building.

HELD FOR BURGLARY
Arthur BardweII Arrested for
White Bear Cottage Thefts

The wholesale burglaries of the cot
tages at White Bear during the last
winter are believed by the sheriff's
ofhce to have been traced to Arthur
Bardwell as the ringleader of a gang
of three, who was arrested at Brain
erd yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Cary left yesterday morning to bring
the young man back to this city, where
he will be called upon to answer to
a charge Of thefts aggregating over
$4,000
The particulars of the burglaries are
carefully guarded by the sheriff, as it
is believed that Bardwell will offer ad-
ditional evidence tending to directly
implicate his pals. While Sheriff
Miesen stated last night that he had
in his possession the names of the per-
sons implicated in the numerous rob-
berries, he declined to indicate their
identity for the reason that a publica-
tion of their names would be a notice
to them to leave these parts
1t is claimed by the sheriff that
Bardwell is the son of a well known
{ family of this city and that his trial
will bring out many sensational fea-
