FLOCK
TO SOUTH DAKOTA
One Wealthy Subject Of Czaf
Pays Nearly $50, 600 for a
Ranch Near Arlington.

Arlington, S. D., Aug. 16.-The rule
that immigrants from Russia generally
belong to the poverty-stricken class,
scarcely being able to pass the xam-
ination as to visible means of support
upon landing, has been broken by a
man who has just arrived from that
country and bought a ranch In Camp
bell county.
Jacob Hildebrand has made a cash
payment of S12, 600 OF n tract Of land,
the entire purchase price being $l9, 800
for LILO acres. Ten years g this
same Lane was worth only fourteen
hundred dollars
A number OF wealthy Russians are
now trying to get their property In
shape so they can get ii out of Russia,
and the northern part Of South Da-
kota Is being considered by several Of
them as an attractive field for invest
ment.
The Russian settlers are proving a
valuable element in the development of
the wheat and cattle lands in the Mis-
souri, valley, and their lands are worth
several dollars more per acre than
farms under similar conditions which
have been held by the less careful
farmers from the western countries.

PtTTSBURG AGOG OVER
M'KEE DIVORCE CASE

Pittsburg, Aug. 15.-There is more dis
cussion over the entering of the Mckee
divorce suit In Paris than there was
over sermons, n now many OF those
who nave had the news Of dissension
from Paris weekly for the past month
are talking.
There are none who will go SO far as
to hazard an expression as TO the de-
tails of the charge of infidelity made
by Mrs. Mckee against her husband,
but there are many stories told Of es-
capades In Paris by Mckee as well as
in New York. 1t Is not unlikely that
some OF Harry Kendall Thaw's adven-
lures on both sides OF the Atlantic Will
be brought out In the taking OF testi-
mony In Paris, as Thaw and Mckee
were inseparable companions at home
and abroad
Mrs. Mckee No. 2 was most bitterly
opposed to her husbands consorting
with Thaw. Pittsburg would not be
surprised at some spicy Thaw details
from Paris. /,
One of the bitterest fights betweenI
Hart Mckee and his wife was over his
declaration that he thought Thaw had
lone right In shooting White, and tina
IL the family did not allow Thaw to
fight 1t out on his own line. that he,
Mckee, would furnish the money for
Harry to fight as he wanted. Mrs. Nc
Kee objected TO this form Of ADVERTISE.

PAPER MAKERS START
WAR UPON MARRIAGE

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 16.-Is the per-
centage Of marriages in the Fox River
valley to be lessened through the in
fuence of the wealthy paper manufac-
turers?
1t has often been asserted that the
paper makers discourage their young
lady employees intent upon matrimony,
but the first direct evidence of this
came recently, when S. r. Wagg, SUI
p~erintendent Of the Fox river paper
mill, Of this city, raised the wages OF
the cutter and finishing girls with the
stipulation that they stay single.
Fourteen girls employed In cutting
paper struck n the wages they re-
quested were granted. Following this
action Mr.. Wagg called the ten finish
ers to his office, informed them their
pay was increased ID cents a day and
that their hours should not be length
tened.
Girls said Mr.. Wagg, you have all
been faithful employees and / want to
show you / appreciate II. Now ! like
the work you are doing and l have
Increased your pay. You can make
enough to be independent and can care
for yourselves better than many men
can care for you. Just when o are
able TO count or finish. well l don't like
to see you go and get married. so
hope as long as we make IT an object
for you TO work here you will not be
tempted to undertake married life"
This In substance was the remarks
of the paper maker.
Now II Is claimed five u men
who have been waiting upon young
ladies included in the advance In wages
have deserted the cause and are look,
ing elsewhere for sweethearts.

Pittsburg, Aug. Is. - There were

q divorce from his beautiful wife, Mary
Scott Hartje, named tow coachmen as

has In his possession a letter which is
alleged to have been written to him
by his wife recently.
This letter is couched in terms most
endearing, and a request is made that
everything be dropped and they re-
sumo their former position as man and
wife.
Mrs. Hartje denies any knowledge OF
the letter, and her attorneys are not a
little perturbed over the knowledge
which has come to them, as 1t shows,
according to their way Of thinking.
that some one most clever with the
pen has been at work.

WINE FLOODS ROOM
OF WINSTON CHURCHILL

London, Aug. Winston Churchill
assistant colonial secretary, is devel-
oping a very irritable temper, which is
not increasing his popularity with the
employees of the house Of
and an amusing story is going the
rounds at the secretary's expense.
There is a cafe in the house used
almost exclusively by the newspaper
men in the press gallery. 1t is not
licensed to sell wines or spirits, but,
in accordance with the medieval red
tape customs which still cling to the
house, any one can drink what he
likes provided he gets a pass from
the sergeant at arms, a very pompous
old man who carries a sword.
Those members of the staff of par
liamentary servants who cannot get
the sacred pass nave of late found
many ingenious methods of getting
beer and tampering with the barrels al
night after the cafe Is closed,
1t happened that the pumping ap-
paratus having been tempered with.
Winston C~hurchilPs room, which is
Immediately under the cafe, was food
ed recently with beer and whisky. and
some of his speeches and othe. yalu-
able documents were ruined. Mr.
Churchill stormed for two days, until
tarpaulins were not under the cafe
These are now known as winston

COOLEST COSTUME.
DARK ~UNDERCLOTHES
AND WHITE OUTSIDE
American Consul in Calcutta
Reports on the Best Hot
Weather Garb.

Washington, Aug. 16.-This problem
of keeping cool In hot weather is all
a matter of scientifically correct dress
ing. This in effect is what Consul Gen
eral w. H. Mitchell reports from Cal
cutta, a place where the weather Is
even more largely considered than it Is
here.
Col. Michael advises wearing white
clothes for outside wear, and dark,
preferably black, underwear. He say
people in India have been wearing
White clothes in summer for over 1000
years and scientists have for years ad-
vised dark underwear under the white
clothes, red, brown, orange or black,
but preferably black.
This is based simply on the fact that
the best course one can follow is that
black or brown skin and covers HIM
self with white clothing. He is COM
Portable in the hottest weather. The
dark color protects the native from the
effects Of the short rays of the sun, but
the white man has no such protection
unless he wears dark un~derclothing.
In addition, Col. Michael recommends
for tropical wear a pith hat. The same
recommendations undoubtedly hold
good for the American hot season. In
addition to clothing, there are other
considerations, such as eating little
meat. avoiding alcoholic drinks, sleeping
under a fan, an afternoon siesta and
the like. To crown all, don't worry.

the ring, took the little pugilists by the

"Oh, l don't know" said a young
