1t is asserted that III h Minneapolis

1t is believed to be The intention Of
the 500, through the Minneapolis ana

unite the WATERFOWL branch with the

The proposed line would prove a
profitable one, as it would run through

"A WATERFOWL SENSATION

Shiffman, the son of a wealthy Mime
apolis man, the young lady who has
been living with him in an elegant
camp on Lake Pelican, and another
woman who has arrived in the city
claiming to be the lawful wife of Shift
The woman first called at the home
of Mr.. Shiffman and went through the
domicile to see what she could find.
Evidently she did not obtain h object
of her quest, as she returned to the
sherilf's office and asked that official
to make q visit With her to the Shift
man camp, where MI. Shiffman is now
living. The task was delegated to
Deputy Frank Elllins.
Shiffman came to WATERFOWL about

lady whom he brought to WatertoWn
as his wife has been living with him
at this camp.
So it was that the appearance of
the lady claiming to be MI. Shiffman's
first and lawful wife, and to have lived
with him thirteen years prior to their
separation, caused a mild sensation.
She is a large lady II carries with
her q business like air.
Mrs. Shiffman number one and Dep
,uty ElkinS returned from the trip to
4 Shitfman lamp and to Sheriff Wad-
dell she had Il rather dramatic story
TO tell. On reaching the tents Shift
man was out on the lakes shooting.
He was called in. His wife number
two went to the landing to meet him.
He returned to the camp with shotgun
in one hand and q bottle of beer in the
other.
Shiffman refused to do anything,
and she returned with the purpose in
view of consulting her lawyers in the
city.
II half of the things are true which
the st. Paul woman tells Of Shilfman
he is in truth q monster. She accuses
him of every form OF drunken de-
bauchery, of the most e~Xtravagant
wastes of money in dives of dens and
OF unfaithfulness, and leading a life
generally devoted to seeking the sat
isfaction Of the basest appetites and
instincts.
She says h a when she married
Shiffman the Wedding was an elope-
ment that they left for a long tour of
Europe, and hat eVen on this honey
moon trip her husband was guilty of
intrigue with q 13-year-old girl.
That since that time he has been guilty
of most everything, n that at the
present time he is a fugitive from JUS

Father Roosevelt is another kind.
He tells us not come after r%ations, but
go dam water to keep it in hills and

IT IS 4 NECESSITY.
Canistota Man inventor Of a Wireless
Check Row Planter.

Check RoW Planter.
Canistota, s. d, Oct. 2G.-H. Y. @pald-
ing, of this place, has just patented an
invention of a wireless check roW corn
planter. During the past eight months,
without c~easing from his regular &C.
cupation, he has completed this inven-
ton.
What the self binder was to harvest
ing this machine, he says, is 10 corn
planting. The essential principle is
what might be called q surveying ma
hin which sets and pulls its own
stakes at regular intervals. These
stakes are borne on an endless chain
which in turn is borne on an endless
chain eight feet long, parallel with the
ground and swung from the arChed CEN
ter OF the axle of the planter. 4 rod
called the rockshaft protrudes from
each side of the main frame catching
on the stakes, which are set at exactly
regular intervals, trips the planter and
plants the corn in exactly straight
rows, regardless of rough or uneven
ground. On starting, q lever plants the
first three stakes. These start the chain,
which runs backwards, bearing and
planting stakes ahead of the rock shaft
and pulling the stake which has Just
tripped as the chain passes back to
set again. These stakes are always in
the ground n cause the reverse NOS
ton of the chain.
