Editors Reporter: In your issue of
April 4. there appeared an item taken
from the Aberdeen Is. d. Daily
American stating that Judge Mccoy
had granted a decree of divorce to
Almira Prudhon from her husband ,IEd.
Prudhon both parties living at Web
ster, S. D. In the proceedings Mrs
Prudhon was plaintiff and the decree
was granted to her upon the grounds of
extreme cruelty practiced upon her by
the defendent which has greatly sur.
prised his friends as we'll as his rela-
tives.
Mr.. Ed. Prudon dropped into town
last week and while here l held an
interview with him in order that I
might relate matters to his anxious
friends. He told me, with an air Of
contentment, that while a certain
amount of evidence must be procured,
be they facts or not, in order that a
divorce may be granted, he cared not
on what grounds, al he believed that he
wanted a divorce far more than she
did. He also stated that he vas born
and raised here and that while he lived
with his former wife (now deceased
the community knew that his family
relations were the most pleasant and
satisfactory / then asked him why he
did not sue for the divorce. He
replied hat Mrs. Prudhon had had two
other husbands; one had died and as he
believed, had gone to his long, needed
rest, and the other she had been
divorced from, and under the circum.
stances knew better how to apply and
proceed for a divorce.
Hoping this item will satisfy his
many anxious friends / will close.

Editors Reporter: We are very
much surprised at the report which is
current regarding the recent divorce
proceedings of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Prud-
hon at Aberdeen, S. d and the state
ments made through the Aberdeen
papers regarding the alleged cruel
treatment on which plaintiff based her
grounds for a divorce. AS the hus-
band of our daughter, Clara Howard,
This first wife he was a good husband
and treated her in the most kind and
indulgent manner, both her and his
family, as we positively know, having
lived in close touch with them and
their family affairs, and we are 10th to
believe the statements as circulated in
the present divorce proceedings, as for
a number Of years they lived In our
family as one of the family.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Howard.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Cat
arrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation Of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

Graft in a Small WaV.

Fraud is common in spool thread.
The quality is good but the length of
it difficult 10 determine, and the
shortage is attained bymaking The
wood cylinder larger. For example,
large spools stamped as carrying 500
yards have been measured and found
to contain $50 yards, or even less.
Bacon is wrapped in six papers, and
all six are weighed and sold TO the
customers as part of the avoirdupois.
Sausages are wrapped in oil paper
the same way. Weights are manipu-
lated by concealed balance. The
spring balance is the most easily ham
died by slipping the graduated brass
face upward. This form of scale is
much used by peddlers who, If they
buy, slip the face downward. An au-
thority upon this subject says that
ten per cent of the scales are fraudu-
lent throughout the whole country.
Doubtless it is to be believed, but
there is a direct and immediate COM
pensation. Those who swindle in this
cheap way are in turn swindled, and
the scales of justice, II not those of
trade, maintain their memorable bal
ance.

HAGER TO DECLARE
FOR owen TYLER.
Democratic COMMITTEE Planning
His Appearance in Louisville
on Eve Of Voting.

l. Well-founded rumor that comes from
authoritative Democratic sourhces de-
clares that scheme is on foot to
have s. w. Hager, candidate for Gov
ernor, comes to Louisville the night
before the election and make speech
advocating the election of Owen Ty-
Ter.
According to the official list OF
speaking dates Mr.. Hager is booked
10 make an address in Ashland on the
afternoon of that day, but 1t is point
ed out that he could get TO the city
the same night in time to appear at
final rally and make an address that
would be relied upon as the last hope Of
stemming the overwhelming Grinstead
tide. If necessary TO accomplish this
plan the Ashland date can be Cancelled.
The challenge that has been made
TO Hager TO come TO Louisville and
repeat the speechs that he has made
elsewhere in the State has been a
source of worry to the Democratic
campaign managers. They dare not
accept 1t and at the same time
they are disturbed over the bad i'm
preston that has been created by the
careful avoidance of this city on the
part of Democratic leaders. They
fear the effect of Wilson's frequent
appearances here, and are considering
adopting this desperate expedient to
meet the situation. 1t is believed that
he could safely indorse Owen Tyler on
the eve of the voting, as 1t would not
be possible for his apostacy from the
temperance cause to become known
to the country districts in time to
affect the support that he is counting
upon from that element.
1t is part of the plan to let Hager's
appearance be in the nature of sur
prise, the meeting being called with
other speakers announced, who will
hold the platform until he comes.

As to Brain Weight.

DR.. Phillip O'Hanlon. the Coroner's
physician, and Prof. John E. Larkin,
Of the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, have found in a post-mortem
examination of Daniel Ryan, watch
man, the lightest healthy human brain
recorded, the twenty-four ounces of
its substance which filled a Uranium
of normal size, being one-half the usu-
al weight. Mr.. Ryan possessed at
least average sense, therefore DR..
O'Hanlon infers that Others factors
besides brain weight influences in
telligence."
Since the Miocene Age the size of
q mans brain has not distinguished
