OFFICER STEALS WIFE.
Runaway Russian Pair arrive in
Paris,

Great interest was created in Paris
Thursday when 1t was learned that
fugitive Russian Lieut.. Gabriel Essi-
poff, accompanied by the wife of Gen.
Oushakoff. had arrived there on the
steamer from New York. They had
come on the steamer Savoie, flying
from from the vengeance of the hus-
band and former friend of Lieut.. Essi-
poff. The runaways landed at Havre
Thursday morning and arrived at the
st. Lazare station Thursday night.
They travelled under assumed names
and were accompanied by an elderly
woman. The passengers on the Sa-
vote were not aware of their identity,
but Essipoff was recognized at the sta
tion at Paris. He was completely sur
prised when addressed and in reply to
inquiries said:
Il have nothing to say. We wish to
be left alone. We are quite happy"
do you know Gen. Oushakoft
threatens to kill you?" was asked.
YES" was the answer, but he will
never find us. We will be gone before
he arrives here"
The fugitives then took a cab to a
hotel in Rue de Rivoli, but later
changed their quarters several times
and succeeded in hiding their tracks.
1t is believed they intend to take
another ocean steamer. The elopers
fed from st. Petersburg several weeks
ago, closely pursued by the general,
who pursued them to various cities in
Europe and finally reached Hamburg
two hours after they had sailed for
New York. The general followed on
the next steamer only to find upon ar
rival there that his wife and the lieu
tenant had returned to Europe on the
Savoie. Gen. Oushakoff is now on
board the steamer La Provence on his
way to Paris.

phia Rapid Transit company under
construction at Sixth and Market

OF dollars.

earth.
An explosion occurred shortly be,
fore seven, and in consequence of the
early hour but few workmen had

For several days physicians of the

nearby police station. Before the po-
lice had arrived the women rushed
toward the entrance Of the school
building, and finding the way barred
against them made frantic and de-
termined efforts to batter down the
door. One panel had been smashed
when the vanguard of the police
squadron appeared upon the scene and
sought to put sudden end to the
trouble. The women turned upon the
policemen, tore their clothes. scratch
ed their faces and put them to rout
before a detail of fifteen more officers
reached the scene. When the rein
forcements came nearly one hour was

quarter.

Secretary of State.


In preparing sample ballot form
Secretary Of State Wipf placed the Re-
publican ticket first on the left OF the
ballot, following 1t with the SOCIALIST
ticket and others across the pallot.
The secretary has been receiving pro-
tests from Democrats as to the loca-
ton of their ticket on the right OF
the ballot. The form prepared by Sec
retary Wipf is only as form, and the
location of the different tickets on the
ballot is one OF discretion Of county
auditors. They can arrange the TICK"
ct in any place on the ballot they
choose, placing the Democratic ucKet
first if they so desire. The ballot
sent out by the secretary is not one
which fixes the ticket location in any
way, and those who are desirous OF
having any special location on the pal
lot must make their arrangements
with their county auditors.
On the constitutional amendment
ballot they are arranged by the sec
retary in the same order in Whlch
they will come on the abstracts Ior
the official returns, and any change III
that order will cause confusion.

GREGORY LAND BOOMING.
Rapid Advance in Prices i'm the Rose
bud Country,

Land values in Gregory county are
more than holding their own and the
constant influx of those who are seek
ing a new location is surprising, even
to the many real estate firms who are
engaged in the business in Bonesteel
and other towns in the county Every
train brings it's bunch Of land seekers
and farm lands are advancing in price
rapidly and steadily. The reason Is
that the soil is of that nature that at
once challenges the attention of those
who know good thing in land values
when they see it. Farms of 100 acres
that six months ago could be purchas-
ed at from $4,000 to SO, 900. have dou-
bled in price and it is a poor quarter
that does not now bring $45OO, and
there are numerous transfers recorded
of $4,000.
