Both the republican and demo-

a vigorous campaign in all parts of
the county, and both organizations
are confident of victory at the polls.
The county is Maturity republican
by good majority, but the repub-
licans are not relying this year on
this majority to carry them safely
through the election, but have men
doing active work in every precinct
of the county. The democrats are
also pressing work of the campaign
and are overlooking no opportunity
to deal a blow to their opponents.
They also have men working for the
county and state ticket In every pre-
cinct, and are besides flooding all
portions of the county with literature
attacking the past republican admin
istrations. In their literature they
charge the republicans in their ad-
ministration of the county business
with being extravagant, and charge
that the taxation of the county is
excessive-far beyond a rate that II
should be to meet the legitimate ex-
penses of the county's business II

Quoting vigorous campaigns, owing to

DIVORCE AN ISSUE
south Dakota Divided on the Ques-

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Oct. go
Whether South Dakota will retain its
reputation as the commonwealth
where divorces are granted while
you wait" Is one OF the issues TO be
decided in the election in this state
next Tuesday. On one side is ranged
the lawyers, the hotel keepers, and
great many business men who be-
lieve that the divorce industry should
be maintained and nourished as one
Of the material assets Of the states
prosperity: opposed to these are
thousands of farmers, clergymen and
business men who believe that the
present divorce law Is a disgrace 10
the state and that It should be wiped
out and n more stringent statute
substituted. The battle IL waging
merrliy, and In the meantime, the
members of the Sioux Falls divorce
colony who have not yet received the
magic pieces of paper that spell
liberty from matrimonial infeileities
are occupying the anxious seat
Present appearances Indicate that the
new law will receive sufficient
number Of votes to make II effective.
The present law requires only six
months residence In order to become
citizen of the state. and permits
the holding Of hearings IN divorce
cases In chambers which tend to
make many Of them OF the star
chamber" variety. This enables d.
vorce applicants OF prominence
practically TO secure secret divorces
by preventing the newspapers from
getting the particulars OF the hear
ings, or even the fact that a divorce
decree has been granted In a pRrtleu-
lar case.
There are hundreds Of instances in
the last few years In which society

United States. OF Europe and else

and without the newspapers beinE
able to get the slightest information
in regard 10 a particular case. the de
tails Of the divorce cases having been
ehectually concealed.
The suppression Of the details Of

parties concerned did not wish any

truded from her mouth and there were

band. He had been heard to leave the
room shortly after midnight, but no
unusual noises had been heard. Later
he was arrested.

drinking yesterday and went home I'M
der the effects of intoxicants. His

vide for her. Terwilger had been out
of work. A quarrel ensued and Ter

GUS and they separated as result Of

come reconciled. She was about to
hacome a mother.
