GOES TO PRISON FOR A YEAR.
Member OF Prominent Family Con
yictCdl Of LARCENY.


Although the scion of an excellent
family of Sioux Falls pioneers, a
young man named Kelley Hartwick,
who for years has been known among
his associates as michigan" Hart
wick, has been lodged in the Sioux
Falls p~enitentiary. Under the assum-
ed name of Ed Dunning he was tried
and convicted in Hughes county of
grand larceny and will serve a term
of one year, Notwithstanding that
he had every opportunity to make a
man of himself, Hartwick a number
of years ago strayed from the straight
and narrow path and has since been
slowly but surely directing his foot
steps in the direction of the peniten-
tiary. In the past he served a num-
Der of Jail sentences n on several
occasions narrowly escaped landing
in the pe~nitentiary. His escapes
seem to have emboldened him, until
finally he passed the limit once too
often.
1t was thought by many that Hart
wick vas implicated in the recent sen
sational robbery of the Peoples State
bank at Canova, but the officers were
unable to secure the evidence neces-
sary to warrant his arrest for that
alleged offenSe.

ARRESTS WIFE FOR MARRYING
Says Hcipmect Sold Farm and Elopcd
to United States.

Charged with selling her husbands
deserving two OF her three small child
iren to elope to America with Casper
Ladislof, a farm hand, and then with
having married Warvagiven Kaoyia.
OF Port Richmond, Pa, her third "af-
Unity" after the farm hand had taken
the money and left her in the lurch
with a child to care for, Yetta Alster,
OF Philadelphia. faces a term In prison
for bfgamy.
Four years ago Isador Aister, her
first husband, left his home and fam
lily In Austria to seek his fortune in
America. He established himself in
so prosperous that he could afford to
send his wife $1,000 in the four years.
The husband never suspected her, and
when he a informed by a cablegram
from friends that she had sold the
farm for $4,000 and was on her way
to this country with the farm hand
he was amazed.
Immediately he began a search for
his wife. District Attorney Jerome, Of
New York, took a personal interest in
the foreigners case, and in a few
weeks the detectives had an inkling
that the much-married woman was In
Philadelphia. So he informed De-
tectives Harry Bczarth and Thomas
McCully of the circumstances.
After al ail-day search the detec-
tives found the woman out in Port
Richmond. and made the arrest. Isa-
dore Alster was with the men at the
time and identified the woman as his
wife. With her was the 9-year-old
daughter.
But Yetta Alster had found her
third affinity" In the meantime in
the person OF Warvagiven Koavia, who
she says h married in Bridesburg.
three weeks ago. after she had been
converted to the Roman Catholic
faith. Every one concerned in the
alleged triple marriage was present
at the hearing before Magistrate
Hughes except the mysterious farm
hand and the two children who were
left with friends In Austria.

NO COAL.
Expert Says Iron Manufacturing is
Exhnusting Supply.

EE
Exhnusting Supply.
That the grandchildren of coal OPP
orators of the present day will witness
the passing of the entire Goa supply
of the United States, unless the present
sinful waste Is checked. is the startling
prediction made by L. w. Fogg, ac-
knowledged as one Of the best coal ex-
perts of the world.
Fogg's figures are always accepted
by the United States Steel corporation,
and he has just complied an interest
ing array to show that our grandchild-
rem may be forced to find some new
fuel.
He also that every ton of
iron made now consumes oneaand a
half tons Of coal in the making. Con-
tfnuing in his report, Mr.. Fogg says:
Iron manufactured in Pennsy1-
vania alone exhausted for coke from
100 to 1000 acres of coal last year,
while over our entire country we ex-
hausted approximately $4,000 acres of
coal in 1905.
Our production of coal is doubled
every ten years. Should this rate of
Increase continue, there will be grand
children of some Of our present opera
tors who will witness the exhaustion of
the entire coal territory of the United
States"

BROWN n BOYS.
Admitted Paternity of Mrs. Bradlcy's

M Two sons.
The story of former United States
Senator Browns acknowledgement of
the paternity Of the two Youngest of
Mrs. Eradley's children was told
other lips than hers.
II acknowledge Arthur Brown and
Martin Montgomery Brown as my
children by Annie NJ. Bradley"
Such was Mr.. Browns own method
of expressing himself on the subject
and the legend was inscribed on 4
soiled and blotted piece of writing
paper. 1t was dated on Feb. 10, 1905,
and was brought TO light by Col. Maui
rice II. Kaighn, an attorney of Salt
Lake City, the present receiver In the
United States land Office in that city
and a friend of Senator Brown of thir-
ty years standing. Col. Kaighn vas
on the witness stand for about an
hour during the afternoon session Of
the Bradley trial and testified tina
Mrs. Bradley brought the ~telltaie slip
of paper to his office just after she
received It from Brown with the ink
not dry, how she fairly danced into
his room and how she beamed with
joy as she held the paper aloft and
told him hat now all would be well.
f-l. Kaighn related many interest
ing facts concerning his association
with both Senator Brown and Mrs.
Bradley, and upon the whole made
by far the best witness for the little
woman that has yet taken the stand,
herself excepted. He told in simple
but forcible language of many dra-
matte interviews with Mrs. Bradley
and closed with the expression of
opinion that she had become a mono
maniac on the subject of her relation
ship to the ex-senator. He a he
believed her mind to have been unbal-
anced.
II hated to do it, he said. after he
left the stand, Tfor Senator Brown was

DAVENPORT TO BOOK.
Mayor and sherin in Danger Of Los
lug Jobs.

~ YHHHr -,
Without any delay the civil officers
brought to an accounting for their
failure to stop Thursday nights prize
fight in Davenport, as well as Capt.
Q. w. Kulp, who was placed under
arrest Friday and will be tried by
courtmartial within eight days. Gov.
Cummins has appointed Maj. Johnson,
OF the Fifty-third regiment at Maquo-
keta, as judge advocate general of the
c~ourtnartial. 1t is understood that
from eight to fifteen officers of the
guard, outside the Fifty-fourth regi-
ment, of equal or higher rank than
Capt. Kulp, will be summoned to act
as the court. 1t will sit at Des Moines.
n probably its hearings will be pub
lie.
Within eight days the court will be
constituted n try Capt. Kulp. Prior
to that time he will be served with
written charges which Gov. Cummins
has directed Co. Logan, assistant adj
iutant general. to prepare.
1t is expected at the governors Of
fee that some citizens of Davenport
will appear to complain against the
sheriff of Scott county and the mayor
Of Davenport for not enforcing the
law. In case such a complaint is
lodged Attorney General Byers will
proceed to the work of removing the
accused from Office for not stopping
the fight. Proceedings of this charac-
ter will be brought before the presid-
ing Judge of the district court and be-
fore a jury.
1t is understood that Capt. Kulp's
sole defense win be that there was
no prize fight in Davenport. 1t Is the
position of both Gov. Cummins and
Adjt. Gen. Thrift hat the contest was
a fight, but that whether or not it
was, their orders to Kulp permitted
no discretion on his part, but demand
ed immplicit OBEDIENCE.
While the public was amused by
the performance at Davenport when
1t first earne OF 1t, there is indig-
nation also that BODIES i'll for Deven-
ports defiance OF the laws Of the
state. Gov. Cummins has already re-
ceived many assurances of support for
q policy intended to make an exam
pie of those responsible for Thursday
nights events.

CHICAGO,

Steady Improvement appears in
financial conditions, further gold i'm
portations, increasing note circulation
and larger use Of checks in place Of
specie making it easier to view the out
look with confidence. The pressure for
currency is gradually finding relief. and
with the liquidation and establishments.
in process a return to formal condi
tons is closer at hand. Pay roll needs
are now more easily provided for, and
the new medium of exchange conserves
moneys at the banks and is readily ac-
cepted in ordinary transactions. +
Savings banks ~depositors have 'virtu-
ally ceased giving withdrawal notices,
and there is more activity in New York
exchange. Foreign buying of products
is yet in excess of a year age, and a
continuation Of this favorable factor
seems likely and will provide the means
fer additional purchases of gold abroad
to strengthen local bank resources.
Mercantile collections are no worse
than expected, and, while there are
more calls for extensions, the record Of
failures makes a better exhibit than
for both last week and a year Ago..
Distributive trade is favored by sea-
sonable weather, and advices as to both
local and interior activity in the neces-
sarics remain satisfactory. 1t is for
tunate that stocks of fall and winter
goods are not excessive. Most buyers
bought conservatively in advance, and
those now in the market limit sclec-
ions to ascertained needs. Dealings
in the principal jobbing branches thus
far this year make new high records,
and the present curtailed buying is not
regarded as more than temporary. The
movement of holiday goods shows salts
factory proportions.
Receipts Of raw materials for fac
tory consumption fall below those at
this time last year, an indication that
there is no unhealthy pressure upon
forwarders, and the prices for finished
products have undergone no especial
change. More closing down of plants
for repairs and reduction in hands II
working hours appear to be mainly for
the purpose Of bridging over the diff
Guilty in obtaining funds.
The lack of currency throughout the
agricultural sections accounts for de-
creased marketings of crops, but it is
also evident that there are large with
holdings for higher prices.

JUDGE SCORES THE JURORS.

different view entertained by two sep
rate juries upon substantially the

jury verdict has again been aptly IL
Illustrated. Last Saturday Mrs. May
Gerlach was convicted of a statutory
crime. Thursday c.. A. Wilson, tried
on the same charge, with substantially
the same evidence, strengthened by
additional testimony, was acquitted.

said tina the evidence was sufficient
to convict the best man in the land.
But the defendant was a free per-
