CUT THE MARRIAGE BOND
Woman, ItAppears, Was Already the
Wife Of Another,

Pipestone, Nov. l7-Judge P. E.
Brown of the district court has filed an
order annuling the marriage of Christ
Nelson and Esther Davidson.
Nelson is a resident of Edgerton, and
is manager of the creamery at that
place. On May 10th, 1905, he was mar
ried to Esther Davidson, who had been
employed in hotel at Edgerton, the
marriage taking place at Woodstock. 1t
seems that all went happily with the
couple until February, 1906, when there
appeared upon the scene one Phillip An
thony, claiming to be the husband of the
woman. He alleged that under the name
of Estella Pearle, she had been married
to him at Flandreau, S. d.. on Nov. %,
1904. 1t seems that the woman con-
fessed, admitting the truth of the ale
cations, whereupon Nelson sent her
away from him, and she went to Illinois,
being last heard of at Freeport in that
state.
Anthony, it is claimed, threatened
Nelson and undertook to extort money
from him. After time Nelson placed
his case in the hands of an attorney
and proceedings for annulment of mar
riage were commenced in July. The
case was heard by Judge Brown at Luz
verne Nov 9th, and his order was filed
early this week.

Professor Hansen of South Dakota
Proves Himself Hero.

Washington, Nov. l7.-After twice
risking his life and once nearly losing it,
I in the interest of agricultural science,
Prof. n. +. Hansen, of the South Dako-
Ia experiment station of tie department
of agriculture, has found in northern
Siberia an alfalfa suited to the lands of
the northwest. Professor Hansen got on
the track of the alfalfa year ago. but
was badly frozen in Siberia. Dispute this
experience, he made another trial this
year. and has just informed Secretary
Wilson that he has been successful, and
is on his way back with seed.
The department of agriculture, through
the bureau of plant industry, has been
engaged for number of years in en-
cCuraging the growth of alfalfa i'm vari
Gus parts of the United States. Owing
to the wide variation in soil and climate
in this country, great difficulty has been
experienced in securing the types of al
falfa suited to all of our conditions. In
Productions of new afalfas have been
made from time to time from foreign
countries. Several years ago the depart
ment introduced n number from Turkes-
tan, which have been tried very thor
oughly and have proved valuable in
some sections
Professor Hansen, before going to ST.
IBERIA, visited northern Norway and
Sweden, with a view to finding new
crops which might be of value in the
cold arid lands of the United States.
The alfalfa he has discovered has
yellow flower instead of blue. 1t is
native of the dry steppes of Siberia and
grows well where the mercury falls to
80 or 40 below zero. The country is eX-
ceedingly dry, and yet the new alfalfa
is an excellent forage plant. Prof. Han
sen has secured the seed, and it will re-
seive a thorough test in the near future
by the department. The department of
agriculture believes this new Siberian
alfalfa may prove a boon to the cold,
dry northwestern sections of the United
States, where the durum wheat. intro
duced by the department several years
ago, has already proved successful.

Two Men Want to Be Postm ster Are
Hustiing Hard.

Luverne, Mimi, Nov. IA heated
postoffice fight was begun yesterday
when the long contest mater
ialized through the circulation by A.
j. Daley of petition for his appoint
ment as postmaster vice Mark Swed-
berg, the incumbent. As soon as the ex-
istence of the petition became known
counter petition addressed to George
B. Cortelyou, postmaster general, was
prepared by Mr.. Swedberg's friends and
is now being circulated. Copies of this
petition are to be sent to Senators Nell
son and Clapp to the end that they join
with the signers in preventing Mr..
Daley's appointment.
Mr.. Swedberg's term expired on June
TO- and few weeks later petition
asking for his reappointment was hand
ed Mr.. McCleary while he was in the
city to visit the teachers summer train
ing school. 1t is said McCleary at that
time promised Mr.. Swedberg's friends
that Swedberg would be reappolnted,
but said the appointment would not be
made until after election or when con-
gress met in December.
Now comes Mr.. Daley with the state
ment that Mr.. McCleary has promised
him the office, presumably for the work
he did for HIM in the campaign just
closed 3P'
The opposition to Mr.. Daley's appoint
ment is based in part upon the great
popularity of Mr.. Swedberg. The petit
ton circulated by Mr.. Swedberg's
friends is being signed regardless of
party affiliations and will contain the
names of practically every patron of the
office.

imum fare are all declared by the Off
GERS of the association to be certain of

nate About $500.

from InurSQdy Ddlly
Hundreds of people looked through the
new Emmanuel hospital yesterday after
noon and last evening. The halls and
rooms were filled with people up to $3.50
o'clock, and the general expression was
one of surprise at the completeness OF
the hospital, and its excellent arrange
ment.
The donations made by the visitors
did not come up to expectations, being
under $500. whereas twice that sum had
been hoped for.
The German Lutheran church was
crowded at the service last night, when
two able sermons were preached
Up to noon today two patients had
entered the hospital, with the prospect
of several more before the day was over.
Everything is now going smoothly, and
to the satisfaction of all.
