The republicans endeavored to stir
up little enthusiasm in the cam

John L. Brnner, secretary of state of
Kentucky, to address local voters. The
effort was hardly successful The
committee SET out with the big aim of
securing an audience of 10000 people
to hear the Kentuckian, but when the
meeting was finally called to order
the audience could be computed in
hundreds rather than thousands. There
were a few on hand to applaud, how

to arrive was Harris Wheeler of Chi

Recall Departed Officer.
In connection with this session of
The grand commandery, it is interest
ing to note that the late H. c. Cleave
iann, like his son, was an officer of the
state organization, and not only was
enc of the most prominent members
OF the orde~sin Rock Island, but was
prominent throughout Illinois. Mr.
Cleaveland, however, did not live to
occupy the high office at the head of
the state Knights Templar, his death
occurring when he was the eminent
grand JUNO" warden.
Mr. Cleaveland was one of the most
eloved members of Rock Island COM
|nardery. AMI this is evident from the
fact that he served II different terms
as eminent commander of the COM
mardery, then known as Everet's
cormanderv. Mr. Cleaveland was a
lremher of the commandery from 1867
10 the time of his death, Aug. 10.
1899 1t is said of him that none
kEew the beautiful ritual of the Ma
sonic orders better than he and that he
administered the work perfectly. His ac
curate knowledge of the rituals is some
thing of tradition in the commandery,
aud that it added to the interest OF
the members is certain.

The divorce industry was worth
s4SO,n00 to South Dakota last year &C
cordng to statistics which have been
collected and which are presumably as
reliable as the common run of statis-
tics. OF the So divorces granted in
that state III 1907, no fewer than 80
were to non-residents and the sum Of
S4s0,000, it is figured, was the money
they left there during their brief So
journs. This is why the people of
Sioux Falls in general and its lawyers
in particular arc fighting hard against
the proposition to amend the South
Dakota divorce laws so that the
Sevcring of matrimonial bonds will be
more difficult for non-residentS in the
future.
