GAVE BACON A DUcKING.
Initiated His New Assistant Secretary
Of State Into Kitchen Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Robert
Bacon, first assistant secretary OF
state and former partner of ]. p Nor
gan, was initiated into the Kitchen
cabinet last week by President
Roosevelt. The other members of the
kitchen cabinet are Clifford Pinchot,
forester for the United States; James
R. Garfield, chief of the bureau of
corporations; Senator Lodge Of Mas
sachusetts, and one or two other
close personal friends of the presi-
dent.
1t rained pitcnforks that day. Ba-
con and Pinchot arrived at the White
House at o'clock in natty business
suits and patent leather shoes. They
found the president dressed in a very
old and very disreputable suit, with a
rough-rider hat and a pair of heavy
shoes. The president looked at Ba-
con and Pinchot, grinned, and said:
Come on, We'll take a tramp
Out Into the Rain.
They went out into the rain. The
president led the way and took his
companions out Pennsylvania avenue,
Georgetown and down a mar
row street to the bank of the canal.
There was a bridge about a mile
down the canal, but none at the point
where the president stopped.
ooh, well,' said Colonel Roosevelt,
cit doesn't matter. Bacon, you take
our watches and pocketbooks and
Pinchot and I will wade across. You
go down to that bridge yonder and
meet us On the other side"
Not by a darn sight, said Bacon
81 came out On this walk with you,
and 1 am going where you 60"
Plunged Into the Canal.
"Bully!" shouted the president.
Come on, then" He plunged into the
canal and Pinchot and Bacon fol-
lowed. The water was about four
feet and six inches deep at it's deepest
point. The three men waded across,
the president leading. They were
thoroughly wet from the heavy rain,
SO the further ducking made no diff
ference, but when the president
reached the other side and looked at
the patent leather shoes and natty
business suits of Bacon and PinchOt,
he grinned. The party returned to
the city about 6 o'clock The presi-
dent told Bacon he had been initiated
and was a full-f1edged member of the
cabinet. Bacon is now open
to all sorts Of invitations from the
president for exercise in the open air.

ARGUMENTS MADE TODAY BE-
FORE THE Referee, ALLEN
n. REYNOLDS.
Sensational Suit From Waitsburo Be
ing StubbornIy Fought by Both
Plaintiff and Defendant.

After a stubborn legal battle Of
more than six months the divorce
suit of Mrs. Margaret Roberts Of
Waitsburg against Arthur Roberts
owner of the Waitsburg Electric
Lighting company, and one of the
most prominent business men of that
city. came to trial today before the
referee in the case, Allen H. Reynolds.
Mr.. Roberts, accompanied by his at
torneys. Judge M. M. Goldman Of
Dayton and r. H. Ormsbee Of
Waitsburg, arrived in the city last
night to be present at the arguments
which were made this morning.
Owing to the prominence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Roberts and the sensational al.
legations made by Mrs. Roberts. the
case has been the reigning sensa-
ton of Waitsburg ever since the suit
was commenced early last spring.
One of the allegations that Mrs. Rob-
erts made was that Mr.. Roberts
was afflicted with a venereal dis
ease, with which she had become in
oculated. In his answer Mr.. Rob-
erts vigorously denied the allega-
ton and in cross complaint cited
many instances where Mrs. Roberts
was lacking as dutiful wife.
The main fight is being made over
a division of the property estimated
to be worth 100000

nay, she kept hunger with difficulty
from her door. Some benevolent per
son, hearing Of her sad plight and

Spencer, May 26.-Altho reported in
his own handwriting to be IN the bot
tom of Lake Okoboj, Thomas Jackson
was arrested by Sheriff Prize, In Sioux
City few evenings ago and is now
in the county Jail.
The arresting Of Jackson will recall
to our readers minds some incidents
which occurred "a year ago and the
charges against him. A year ago this
spring articles Of different kinds were
stolen from Lost Island Lake and
finally gun, valued at $125 and an
engine from gasoline launch were
taken, and the theft was traced to
Jackson. He was arrested and bound
over in bonds to the sum Of $500 TO
await the action of the grand jury
which met last September
During the summer, on Lake Okoboji
a boat was found drifting: in which
was Jackson's clothes and note
pinned on them, telling that he had
decided to die rather than be sent to
the penitentiary and that his body
would be found In the bottom Of the
lake. Incidentally fifteen feet of the
rope attached to the boat and an
Choir was gone. leaving the impression
that he had tied the rope and anchor
to himself, so as to be Bure OF his
fate.
The lake was dragged for his body
but 1t was not found until last Mon
day and by that time 1t had floated
into Sioux City-alive. So. certain was
Sheriff Price that there was nothing
in the drowning theory that he has
kept careful watch out for his man.
Subsequently. when he failed to
come up" last September his bond
was forfeited, and his brother Rich
mond paid the $500. A few days ago
Sheriff Price received quiet tip that
his man was II, Sioux City, so he inn
mediately went there land in company
with policeman, stationed himself
at Fourth and Pearl streets. where 1t
was known he would pass. The sheriff
stood in the back grounds SO as not to
be recognized and at a signal from
the policeman took the fellow by sur
prise.
jackson at first denied his identity,
but later confessed that he was the
right man.
