breathing a sigh of relief because Of
the adoption by John Hammer, a Tur-

be adopted by every thresherman in the
state for it would relieve them Of the

they are expected to feed az largs
number of men in addition to per-
forming their regular household du-
ties.
Hammer intends that the wives Of
farmers Tor whom he threshes shall
not be worked to death during the;
time himself and his crew of men are
at work upon a farm. He has ar
ranged to board and provide for his
men himself. In accordance with this
plan he has constructed car 10 by 80.
feet In size. In this he will have his
dining room and kitchen. Tents will
be carried for sleeping apartments. The
car Will be on wheels and can easily
be hauled from place to place as the
scene of threshing Is changed.
Instead Of threshing time being

Captain O'Reilly received a cigar box

however, caused a suspicion. When the
box had been carefully opened at the

But in Vain.
TWO SOON DISAPPEARED
1t is Rumored That the Man Who Pur.
ported to Be an Optician Came
from Storm Lake, la, Where
He Left His Wife.

Canton, S. d., Aug. 22.-Cahton is in
the thrces of a real sensation, although
the parties creating the furry have
faded away and gone no one knows
WHITTIER Some three or four weeks
ago young man of some 80 years
arrived in town and announced hlm-
self to be an optician.
He was accompanied by very at
tractive young lady who was supposed
to be his wife, and as such he intro
duced her to the family where he took
rooms. The couple boarded at the res
taurants about town, and the "Dr."
paid his bills each meal.
The neighbors remarked upon the
fact that the doctor and wife must be
a newly married couple as they We're
very attentive to one another and the
billing and cooling under the trees and
in the moonlight was very noticeable
to all within hearing and seeing dis
tance.
The doctor had no office but made
his way about town and treated those
who We're afflicted with poor eyesight,
and took in the cash whenever possible
Thursday night of this week came q
sudden ending to the paradise. A lady
and handsome one, too, arrived and
asked for certain doctor supposed to
be in the city. The lady learned that
a gentleman of his description, accom-
panied by lady, was in the habit of
dining there, and Night Police Wal
rath was appealed to to show the lady
to the home where the doctor and his
wife" We're rooming.
Then there was q scene to which
Charley was an unwilling witness. The
lady upbraided the doctor, while he
endeavored to prevent her from dis
talk and weeping accusations. The
lady wanted the doctor to return to
her loving arms and the man as deter
minedly resisted her Establishments.
The wife" in the case did not make
her appearance at the door during the
interview between the visitor and the
doctor and at last the controversy end
led and the lady left on the early morn
ing train for the east.
She tells the story that the doctor is
her husband. that they live at Storm
Lake, Ia; that until few days ago
she had no idea that the william in
the play" was untrue to her. and when
she learned it it came from the lips
of the girls mother. who told her of
her daughters downfall and betrayal
by the handsome eye specialist. Then
she learned that he was at Canton and
she came hither to beg him to return.
He refused to do SO and she, for the
sake of the mother of the girl in the
case, refuses to prosecute the man who
has betrayed her and her love.
