ELoPERs FOUND AFTER YEARS.
Luverne Countryside Has a Genuine
Sensation.

Luverne Countryside Has a Genuine
Sensation.
LUVERNE, Mimi, March S.-A
small sensation was created this week
when K. Van Wyland of Monroe, S. D.
arrived in Luverne and preferred the
charge of desertion against the woman
who for years has been living here as
the wife of Jacob Houtkooper.
Ten years ago Mrs. Van Wyland de-
serted her husband, with whom she
had lived for fifteen years, and eloped
with Houtkooper, who was employed
on a neigrboring farm and a close
friend of the family, taking with her
her 5-year-old daughter. Her hus-
band has kept up continual search,
but until a few weeks ago was unable
to find the slightest trace Of them.
The couple apparently came here di-
rectly from Munroe.
The first intimation that the hus-
band received as to their whereabouts
came two weeks ago from a friend in
Michigan, who mad noticed the address
on letter directed to Houtkooper at
that place as it was being mailed. Fol-
lowing this clue, w. Wykstra, mer-
chant at Monroe, and warm friend of
Van Wyland, came to Luverne, and
after a few days work, discovered the
couple living on farm near the city.
He then returned to Nunroe and a few
days later came to Luverne accom-
panied by Van WylaRd.
Van WXland, fearing that he would
never be able to find his wife and
child. secured divorce two years age

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-03-08

WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
The crusade which has been started
against the Standard Oil company in
several of the western and northwest
ern states, reinforced by the determi-
nation of President Roosevelt to have
the federal government make a search
ing inquiry into the business methods
of that great corporation, will keep
the public interest aroused for a num-
Der of months to come For the first
time in the history of the country,
federal and state authorities seem
combining for the purpose of bringing
an oppressive trust under proper regu-
lation.
1t is the understanding here that if
the inquiry develops the insufficiency
of existing laws to correct the evils
complained Of the president will make
the subject prominent in his message
to congress next winter, asking for
supplemental legislation. But if, on
the other hand, the government already
has the requisite power, the Standard
Oil company is to be given a shakeup
in the court.
Purpose of President.
1t is undoubtedly the purpose of the
president, during the next four years,
to make a general forward movement
against the trusts, without fear or ia
vor. His course thus far is merely a
promise Of what is to come, and the
public at large will wish him we'll.
1t is a laudable ambition which ne
has to accomplish something worth
while in the interest of the people
against these modern representatives
of medieval feudalism, and when he
says that the whole machinery Of the
federal government is to be brought
into play to that end, the people may
confidently believe that he means what
he says. - ,,
/; Meanwhile, the recent agitation
against the Standard Oil company has
brought out suggestion which may
prove to be of the highest value. The
suggestion comes from Representa-
tive Stevens Of Minnesota, who is one
of the strongest men in congress from
the middle west. 1t is we'll known that
the Standard Oil company, in addition
to supplying Illuminating Oil, manufac-
lures a large number of by-products
from the crude petroleum.
Several years ago, during the agita-
ton in congress over the Cuban reci-
procity treaty. it was discovered that
alcohol produced in Germany, France
and Sweden contains 10 per cent more
heat, light and power units than pc
troleum. and is sold at retail in those
countries for the same price that pc
troleum demands in this country.
Important Purpose.
This discovery may serve an import
ant purpose when congress gets ready
to revise the tariff, possibly at its mex,
session. Such a revision as Mr.. Stew
ems has in mind would strike the
Standard Oil Company a body blow
and perhaps do more than ali thing.

Spring Politics.

As the time for caucus and
election draws near, several more
candidates have entered the field
for the different offices. John
Radcliffe and Walt Bonner have
both declared their intention of
running for chairman. Both of
the gentlemen are we'll known to
the voters and a warm election is
looked for.
John Zimpelman, J. H. Bolte
and Matt. Kramer are the new
candidates that have entered the
field for superVisorship honors.
Both Messrs Zimpleman and Boil
te are making their first run for
office this spring, and they will no
doubt make a clean and hard race
for their opponents.
Matt. Kramer and j. J. Roder-
lex have both been candidates be-
fore and aItho being defeated, al
ways made a hard race, and their
chances this year may be better.
F. q. Hall the present incum-
bent of the office, is out for re-
election, and with his past record
to fall back upon, he will no doubt
draw a good vote this year.
Henry Steinmetz is also out for
the office of supervisor. As there
are six candidates in the field, the
voters can pick their choice
The clerkship lies between Mr..
Frank BeardsIey and Victor
Stevens, but as there is very lit
tie said about this Office, the votes
at the caucus will decide the next
town clerk.
Fred Morey will as usual have
a clear field for the office of town
treasury, and we doubt if a more
capable man could be found to
ill that important office.
As the ladies are allowed to vote
this spring for state and county
superintendent of schools, it is
likely that a large number will
go to polls and use the oppor-
tunity afforded them. 1t will
stand the candidates for that of
fee we'll in hand to be popular
with the ladies, as their vote will
no doubt decide their election.
Place your order for caucus
tickets at this office. We can do
your work on short notice.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day. and TO get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
