BRANDS HIS WIFE A SHRtW
Failing to Tame His Defiant and Bel
ligerent Mate, Charles Kropf
Seeks Divorce.

Charles Kropf accuses his wife, Anna
Kropf. of attacking him with pokers,
knives and other weapons. He also
saws that she is adept in the use of
naughty words. and that she not only
swears at him, but at his children by
a former marriage.
In order to free himself from MS
trouble of pacifying her at odd inter-
walls. Kropf filed a suit in divorce yes
terday in the district court, in Whlch
the above allegations are made.
In addition he asserts that his wife
ever since their marriage. Aug IA. 1906,
has treated him in a quarrelsome, de-
FAINT. insulting and contemptuous man.
ner. and has never been friendly or al
fectionate with him.
This has greatly Inundated him and
has caused considerable mental an
guish, if the complaint is TO De De-
lieved.
At various times, he says, that ms
wife has accused him of being lhti-
mate with other women and mas tOlu
this to her friends.
Concerning the attacks made upon
him with pokers and knives, he mod
estly assures the court that he has
never received any great physical IN
Jury, but that this conduct on her part
has caused him humiliation and mental
distress. which he seems to think is
much worse than a good beating.
Notwithstanding this treatment. he
remained true TO her, and the com
plant says that he secured employ
ment at Eureka Aug. l, 1907, and had
the temerity to ask her to accompany
him there This she refused to do, and
they have lived apart since.

ORIGIN OF SEDAN CHAIR.

Perhaps some expert in the Siamese

for sedan chair When the KING

his majesty's favor toward motoring,
suggested recently that the royal Sc

il is improbable that they used a word
of the French town.
For it is from the scene of Napoleon
Ills collapse that the sedan chair
takes its name, and perhaps remote
posterity will suppose that ii had some
connection with that event. But Sedan
first produced these conveyances CEN

arrived upon the Moorish flank upper

two batteries of field guns and another
section of rapid-fTe gun artillery, opened
on the enemy with all his guns. The
Moors were taken completely by surprise
and, taking advantage of the confusion
into which the natives We're thrown, Gen
eral Drude quickly massed and launched
his cavalry into a furious charge INTO
the thick of MOOrs, resulting in fierce
hand-to-hand fighting, the French troop
ers and Algerian irregulars saberlng the
enemy right and left.
The MOOrs were unable to Withstand
the impetuosity of the attack, and broke
and fled.
French Losses.
The French losses. which were all sus-
tanned during the charge, were: Captain
Ihler, killed while leading his squadron:
Jardy. a private, who was wounded ana
carried by his frantic horse into the thick
of the enemy, by whom he was decapl-
tated and horribly mutilated, and another
private who was killed in the hand-to-

left dead on the field, the majority beng
killed by sabres.

was in among the fishes. Several mo-

walters and divers uncertain citizens, he
emerged with a severely lacerated cOun-

the fish were perturbed.
In response to a vOlley of inquiries, the

A GROWING BUSINESS.

The last ten years has been the
golden age of American agricul-

made than in twenty or thirty
years in the nations history.
Land has increased enormously
in value since 1896, and is des-

ducts have been good all the time
and are better now than ever If
the Importance of agriculture and
the increases at the same rate in
the future, audit is sure to do so,
the agricultural life will be con-
siered the ideal one, and to own
a good farm the very acme of fe-
lefty. Realizing this many well
to do city people are buying farms
as investments or country homes,
and this putting of so much new
capital into land has been a fac

A strong fight will be made be-
fore the incoming Congress to
make the Dirtrict of Columbia
"dry." The reformers have pre-
pared their bill, a vigorous one,
and adoptedit. They have scores
of Representatives and Senators
ready to introduce it, even COM
peting for the privilege. More
over, they declare that with the
Prohibition sentiment every
where rampant they will force the
m e assure through Congress by
threatening to expose at home
each statesman who refuses to
support reform for the Capital
city. The statesmen frankly adj
nit it "looks dark" or dry for

What is the m after? We
boast of our prosperity, but there
is something wrong with our
economics when present condi-
tions prevail. The cost of living
continues to increase. 1t has al

shades of political opinion are at
a loss to understand it all. or any
part of it. There is a screw loose
somewhere. Just across the Dor
der in Canada, living is two
thirds, or less, what it is with us,

THE MOUNTAIN DEMOCRACY.

1t is very gratifying to the
Democrats in the Eleventh Dis
trict, where they are Democrats
without hope of reward or fear
of punishment, to know that
they did their full duty at the
election which has just been held.
Had the blue grass and western
sections of the State-The Dem
ocratic Gibraltar their
duty as did the Democrats of the
mountain section, there would
have been a different story re-
corded. Petty differences and
party scraps do not cut any fig
ure with the staid Democracy
of the mountains when they line
up in a fight against the COM
mon enemy. They always per-
form their full duty to the last
letter. The success of their party
is paramount to the success of
any individual qualification, and
the Democrats of the far tanned
blue grass and western portions
of the State wherein lies the
stronghold of Democracy, would
do we'll to take a few lessons of
party fealty and party pride from
their mountain brethren before
another election rolls around. =

STAR WITNESSES TESTIFY IN THE
 ADAMS DEFENSE
Mcfarland Could Not Tell of Promises of Reward
 to Adams

RATHDRUM, Idaho, November ls.- The defense in the trial of Steve Adams today put on several of the most import ant witnesses, among them Fred Price and Newt Glover, their testimony oc- cupying most of the afternoon. James Mcfarland, who obtained Adams con fession, was recalled to be asked by the defense if he told Adams there was a big reward for the conviction of the murderers of Steunenberg in order to influence him in making confession, but the court would not allow the ques- tion to go to the jury.
 Alstin Mason, miner of the Cripple Creek district, who testified Tuesday that he had seen Adams at place on the St. Joe river at the time the state claims that Tyler was murdered, took the stand today at the request of the state to identify his signature on the hotel register at St. Joe, which placed him there August IS.
 Eli Blair, captain of boat on the St. Joe river, remembered having taken Adams down the river August 8 or 9, Adams having been in the wheel house with him.

CALUMET B GLOBE
 MAY DISCONTINUE
 LOWER PINTO MINE
Examination Now in Progress to Determine if Payment ex-
 tension Is Last Resort

Unless an examination of the mine now being made by Fred Hoar proves to be more favorable than the recent report of the superintendent, who also made the report on which the deal was originally made, the operations of the Calumet & Globe on Lower Pinto Creek may be permanently stopped. The only other alternative is the granting of an extension for the final payment by the claim owners. Several days ago work on the Calumet & Globe was discontin- ued upon receipt of telegraphic advices from Calumet, Mich., pending examin- ation by some engineer selected by the management of the company, and MT. Hoar was selected for the examination.
 Although no statement has been given out by those connected with the com pany, it is understood that Superintend- ent George S. Andrus had wired the president of the company that unless an extension of one year would be granted the company for final settle ment, by the claim owners, he advised that the option be given up. This ac- tion, it is said, followed developments on the 360 level of the mine where the big "Brewery" ledge was crosscut and found to be almost entirely leached out showing that further sinking would be required to find the re-enriched ores. The surface showing on the Brewery claim is one of the most promising in the district.
 The principal owner of the property bonded to the Calumet & Globe com pany is Claude Batallieur and it is said that he absolutely refuses to grant an extension on the payment due next month. The company has about $70,00O in the treasury.
 When the company was organized early last year about $25,O00 of the stock issued was taken in Globe at s2.5O per share, the first call on $5. stock. Subsequently quantity of stock aggregating almost the amount sub scribed was purchased locally in the open market Just what provision will be made for the stockholders should the company not resume operations has evi- dently not been determined by the man agement. The property itself is consid- cred one of the best in the Lower Pinto section of the Globe district.
