was the best that. has been seen in
Wheeling this year. The show was
full off features, but, Of course, Mr..
Primrose was the main feature of the
show. His inimitable manner will al.

s'Dr John Wanamaker," Member,
Has Disappeared.

The disappearance of a member Of
the Sioux Falls divorce colony who
gave his name as DR.. John Wanamak-
CT, after it had been discovered that
two drafts cashed by him at a local
bank We're worthless, is the latest
sensation among the "colonists.'
Some acquainted express the opinion
that he is out of the city only tempo
rarily, and will return and make good
the amounts secured at the banks
but others do not take so hopeful q
view of the matter. The physician
gave his attorney to understand that
he required some money from his
former home in the East He filled
out and subscribed his name to a sight
draft for $3.50 and induced the attorney
to indorse the draft. This was present
ed at bank and everything being reg
ular the draft was cashed.
The physician is alleged to have
afterwards presented another draft for
$50 at the same bank, upon which he
secured the money. This draft did
not bear the Endorsement Of the attor-
ney. Both DARTS have been returned
unhonored by the bank upon which
they were drawn, and now the Pinker-
ton detective agency has been asked
to locate the missing man.
