CASE For STEAMER.

Republican members Of the house
Of representatives are discussing with
some eagerness the speakership. The
Fifth and Sixth district members will
probably present Representative Q. A.
Case Of Dickinson for the place and
he will have a big support II he will
enter the race. Mr.. Case made an
exceptionally good record In the laSt
session. He did not spend much
time Grating but was working mem
Der and no one accomplished more
than he. He is popular with both fac
lions and would make presiding
officer who would be fair to both
sides and all parties. His renomina-
ton without opposition and his re-
election by a handsome majority
proves his popularity at home. He
was one of the few Republican men,
bers reelected and this proves his
qualifications as a member. Mr..
Case would make a winning candi-
date for speaker and 1t is likely that
he will land the position.

THE WIFE OF TOLsToI.

The stories which have been com
ing from Russia recently indicate
that the Countess Tolstoi has pro.
found affection for her husband, says
the Emporil Gazette. When &c de.
parted from his home, with the avow-
ed intention OF spending tie rest OF
his days as a hermit, she Is reported
to have made two attempts to COM
NIT suicide, and at the time this is
written, SIZE Is said to be dying q
grief.
Stories that come from Russia IRE
unreliable, whether they treat Of roll
itics or executions or family matters.
The truth about the TolstoI episode
may be long time coming 1t may
never reach the curious in this coun-
try.
II these later stories are correct,
then 1t Is evident that the novellst's
wife has been shamefUlly maligned
for years. In nearlc all the Tolstol
stories which have been written by
travellers and would-be blographers,
the novelist's wife has been portrayed
as a vain, selfish woman, who had
no sympathy whatever with the work
or the ambitions of her husband. One
of the latest contributions to Tolstoi
literature is from the pen of an
American newspaper man, and was
published only a few days ago. Here
is an extract:
81 spent three days in the home OF
Tolstoi. He is looking forward to
death. He asked me If had any
messages for my friends on the other
side. His ideas are gathered largely
from William Lloyd Garrison and
Henry George. He is inclined to en-
courage non-marriage. His immedl-
ate surroundings are extremely un-
happy. His wife is a gross material
list, hungry for wealth, power and
fame. But one daughter seems true
to his teachings. was unable to
find any particular results of Toll
stoi's life upon his neighboring viii
layers. While he Is called the apostle
Of love, he does not appear to be a
lover. In his walks he avoids the
villagers. The great mistake of his
life appears to have been In remain
Ing with his wife in state of mental
warfare. had found great spirit
ually inclined people. What low
able, healthy, humane people the
Russians are. The upper crust is
beneath contempt. They are modern
run Wild"
1t has often been said by writer's
who visited the Tolstoi home that
the old man chafed aainst his mari
tai bonds, and that his wife was a
great trial to his spirit. 1t would be
difficult to find an article treating of
his life and career that does not con-
tain some fling at his wife, and he
has been quoted as bewailing his bad
fortune in wedding woman temper
amentalIy unsuited to him.
II these earlier stories were true,
the later ones must be fakes. and vice
versa. Such woman as the travel
ers have described wouldn't be dying {
OF grief because her husband wan
dered away from home. She wouldn't
beg permission to share his exile,
She wouldn't chop hole In the ice
of river, in an effort to commit
suicide, The later stories sound true,
for the wife's actions are those of a
distressed and devoted wife In any
country, and if they are true II is i'm
possible to have much sympathy for
Tolstoi himself, for he has permitted
the world to believe that he has been
hampered throughout his career by
a wife worse than Xantlppe.
