Mr.. and Mrs. William b. Harri-
gan arrived home yesterday from
California where they have been
spending the first weeks OF their
honeymoon.
Great regret and surprise was oc-
oasioned in Rife on Tuesday morn
ing by the news from Glenwood
spriags that Charles J. Dickinson
had obtained divorce from his wife,
Sadie f. Dickenson. on the previous
DAY. The high esteem in which the
family was held while they resided
here, and Mr. Dickenson's standing
in the business world made the intel
ligenee all the harder to believe. and
everywhere only expressions OF re-
gret are heard. In securing the de
cree Mr.. Dickenson was also given th'
custody of the children. Master

This partnership existed up to this

Rumors to the effect that Senator
Kittredge had an interest in the paper

Ia circulation for some time. These
are denied by the Argus-Leader in the
following emphatic language:
SIN view OF the gossip which has
been going the rounds of the state for
the last few months, we deem it proper
to say that Senator A. b. Kittredge has

The first monthly report Of the state
vital statistical department has been
made out and shows the returns from
all the counties of the state except
few small ones, which did not get in
reports, presumably on the grounds
that they had nothing to report. The
monthly summary of the commissioner
IL:
All Of the counties have reported the
births, deaths, marriages, divorces and
naturalizations occurring during the
month Of July with the following ex-
ceptions: No reports have been re-
ceived from Buffalo and Sully counties.
These counties have very small popu-
lation, and 1t Is possible that there
were no occurrences therein warrant
ing reports. Union county reported the
births and deaths, but did not send
the marriages, divorces and naturali-
cations; the clerk of courts being abb
sent upon a vacation and leaving no
one In charge of his Office to make the
report.
Six hundred and twenty-seven births
were reported, being / for every 600
OF the white population. There were
$40 male infants and 287 females.
Twenty-eight infants were born dead
or died at birth, being one in every
twenty-five born.
The names of 275 of these were not
given in the birth certificate and will
lave to be supplied by the physicians
within sixty days.
Deaths.
Two hundred and flfty-two deaths
were reported. The average age at
death was thirty-two years. Seventy
children died before attaining the first
year. There was one death for each
1,720 of the white population. If this
average is maintained throughout the
year 1t will give us a death rate of
seven per thousand annually.
There was a large variety of causes
resulting in death, but the white terror
was far in the lead; 81 died from tn
berculosis in various forms; from
heart failure, %; died at birth, Is;
senility, 10; drowned, Is; unknown

Enrolment-Few Changes in Faculty.

The prevailing opinion seems to be
that the year 1905-06 at the state uni

point Of attendance. Secretary Sloan

swering correspondence. Many new
students have signified their intention
to enter the university this year, and
rooms in private families and at east
hail are already in demand. Owing to
the burning OF west hall on the Fourth
OF July morning, about forty young
men will have to seek rooms else
where No steps have been taken to-
ward rebuilding the boys dormitory,
and it is possible thatFit' viii never be
rebuilt.

faculty this year. A head of the

A Centennial Celebration.

The people of Fayette, Ohio. recent
" showed their appreciation OF the
favor conferred on them in having in
their community fine old lady who
has rounded out the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration. In charge of their
teachers, they marched to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, in which many
prominent people Of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out
One pleasing feature was the pres
entation by the children of quantity
of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves.
The interest shown in the occasion
by the people Of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence of the high
esteem in which this remarkable old
lady is held. Every faculty of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown eyes still retain their attract
i've sparkle. She is an accomplished
needlewoman, and still spends much
time in preparing dainty gifts for her
friends. Mr.. Dubois, to whom Mrs.
Dubois was married sixty-one years
ago, is no less remarkable than his
wife. The unusually healthy and ac-
tive old age of this fine couple Is q
testimony to the value of their simple,
natural, peaceful life Of activity. Com

A sIaushterhouse Victim.

The papers recently reported the
death at Cripple Creek. Colo, of a
woman who, three years ago, while
visiting the slaughterhouse of the Ar
mour Packing company in Chicago,
was completely paralyzed on one side
as a result of the shock produced by
the sight of the terrible tragedies
which are constantly being enacted in
that great killing establishment. This
victim of slaughterhouse horrors is
only one of many thousands who meet
their death through the slaughter
houses every year. 1t may not be
said, indeed, that the death can be
traced so directly and Immediately to
the slaughterhouse as in this case, but
the multitudes of men and women
who die of gouty disorders, rheuma-
tism and other maladies resulting
from uric-acid poisoning might enjoy
many years of life were it not for the
deadly dose OF uric acid and other poi
sons derived from the products of the
slaughterhouse-mea eaters disor-
ders, among which must be included
trichina and tapeworm, tuberculosis
and possibly cancer as well as those
which have been traced directly to
uric acid.
