Following Runaway Marriage and
Appearance Of Wife No. I on the
Seene-Used Bogus Divorce Decree.
Special to Times-Republicans.
Onawa, May 16.-Vernie Harrington,
the young man who but few days ago
figured as one Of the principals In an
elopement here with Miss Myrtle Hall,
is now languishing behind the bars IN
the county Jail as the result of wife
No. l making an appearance on the
scene and taking hand in the matter.
Young Harrington who has been sort
of a wild chap, came here from Dun
lap with his parents about year ago.
A couple of weeks ago he induced MISS
Myrtle Hall with whom he had been
keeping company" against the wishes
of her parents, to leave her home under
cover of darkness. and then drove to
the country where they were married.
II appears that Harrington had never
disclosed the fact TO anyone here OF ms
former marriage. at Dunlap. When he
secured his license he swore it to be
his first marriage and also gave TINS
same information to the minister VINO
performed the ceremony. After the
marriage the parents of the girl mad
become partially reoonciled and no
doubt would have eventually taken
their new son-in-law into their good
graces. But at this point Mrs. Her
rngton No. J. who was residing with
her parents. was apprised of his sec
ond marriage and an investigation was
at once Instituted. Harrington had at
different times exhibited legal form
of document purporting to be copy
of the decree of divorce issued by
district judge and even misled his own
parents This undoubtedly Is forg-
cry. Yesterday he was taken in GUS
toay by the sheriff of Monona county
upon information filed charging MIN
with higamy. He has been unable to
furnish bond and is stiff in the county
jail

ing the Wall street viaduct as a repud1-
alton of the agreement between the old
city council and the railroads.
Despite the protest of Mr.. Sargent
a resolution instructing Mayor Smith
to notify the roads within ten days
to complete the viaduct was passed
on its second reading and further
action was deferred for a week. The
council also adopted a resolution or
dering the Service Company to pave
between its rails and one foot outside
across the viaduct.
The hearing brought out a sharp
clash between Councilman Jonathan
w. Brown and Mr.. Sargent. Mr.
Brown took exceptions TO what he
considered an attack of Mayor Smith,
and he claimed that the attorney had
reflected on the good faith OF the
council

Seed Corn Day

Seed corn day has come and gone,
and the planters of South Dakota
have generally followed the advice
given from the state college to select
their 1911 seed corn now and to
make the selection with care. 1t is
equally important that the corn so
selected should be carefully guard
ed during the fall and winter, SC
that it will come into spring in
prime condition for planting in the
fields. Those who have as yet neg
lected to pick their seed corn should
not allow another day to pass before
the duty is attended to.
The time has gone by when the
successful farmer at planting time
goes to his crib, takes out what corn
is left, plants it, and expects his
carelessness to be rewarded with an
ample crop. The law of heridltv is
as certain and unerring in the vege-
table as in the animal kingdom, and
fine crops a not be expected from
poor seed. Men do not gather figs
from thistles nor grapes from
thorns. Scrub stock will not pro-
duce full bloods, and ample harvest
can not be expected from Indifferent
seed. The state has been most for
tunate this fall in the long with
holding of a killing frost and 'practi-
cally every a of corn has matured,
but the wise farmer will be he who
saves for seed the corn which matur-
ed the earliest. In that way he is
taking out a little insurance against
getting caught by an early frost
next year.-Sioux Fall Argus.

Animals and Rain,

1t seems strange that no animal,
unless it be the squirrel, seems to
build itself a shelter with the ex-
press object of keeping off the rain,
which they all so much dislike.
Monkeys are miserable in wet and
could easily build shelters if they
had the sense to do so. GAS the
creatures hop disconsolately along
in the rain," writes Mr.. Kipling in
his Beast and Man In India" cor
crouch on branches, with dripping
backs set against the tree trunk as
shelter from the driving storm, they
have the air of being very sorry for
themselves" But even the orang
outang, which builds a small plat
form in the trees on which to sleep
at night, never seems to think of a
roof, though the Dyaks say that
when it is very wet it covers itself
with the leaves of the pandanus, d
large fern.

Rough on tho Lawyer.

A man on trial who was undoubt-

to the surprise of the presiding
judge. The jury had been out a
long time, considering the case,
without reaching a conclusion.
Then the Judge called the jury into
court and asked what the difficulty
was. The foreman said:
Judge, there is only one thing
that is troubling us. Was the pris-
oner's counsel appointed by the
court or retained by the prisoner
himself"
"The prisoner is a man of
MEANS" said the judge, "and re-
tanned his own counsel"
Ten minutes later the jury sent
out word hat an agreement had
been reached. They filed into
court. The foreman rose and an
nounccd the verdict:
acquitted, on the ground of in
sanity."-Chicago Record Herald.

SHE HAD 4 DOG.
II Was Against tho Rules and the
Train Conductor Got Busy.

1t happened, so the story goes,
on a Lehigh Valley railroad train.
1t had just left Easton station
bound for New York, and as the
conductor made his way through
the coaches he spied a small white
dog with a bushy tail and bright
black eyes sitting beside a young
miss. The presence of dogs in the
passenger cars being contrary to
rules, the conductor had to perform
a painful duty. .
'T'm sorry, very sorry" he said
to the young girl, "but it is against
the regulations to allow dogs here"
"My-oh, my, is that 500" she re-
piled. "What shall I do-what shall
| do? You see, it is nothing but a
little

you know" interrupted the conduc-
tor. at will be all right; we'll just

"What! Put this nice little dog
in your dirty old baggage carr"
every sorry, awfully sorry, miss,
but I will have to do it." continued
the conductor.
"Well, I just know that some
body will steal it; but, of course, if
you say it must 60 there, l sup

"Here, Bill" called the conductor
to the brakeman, "take this purp
into the baggage a and tell 'em
to treat it we'll"
The brakeman reached over and
lifted up the dog. He did it as ten
derby as if it we're a baby. A pc

face.

she looked at them both with her
innocent delft blue eyes, cts wor-
sted, thought you knew it all the
time. It's for my brother in Brook

The brakeman laid the dog back
in the seat. The conductor forgot
to punch the girls ticket, and he
and the brakeman retired to the
rear platform to figure out what
was the matter with them.-New

ArteSian Basin Weakened?

A new we'll has been recently sunk
at Huron which confirms the fact
that the artesian pressure at that
point is lessening rapidly. The new
well has a good flow but there is
little or no pressure.
The above from the Redfeld Jour
nal will be of i~nterest.in Miller, as
the same question has arisen here
since the new city well was put
down. The flow secured is not
nearly equal TO that of the old wells
when they were first put down, but
this may be occasioned by the change
in location. 1t has been suggested
that while this conservation of nat
ural resources is in the air, that
South Dakotans should apply a little
of it to the saving of the ~artesian
basin. According to the state geo
logist, only a very small part of
water now flowing is being
used.

Dan Cupid

Dan Cupid" the latest musical
comedy success coming to the Miller
Opera House is said to be all that is
promised for it. With all the posi-
bilities of situations arising from
such a theme and with the credit of
it's origin belonging to the modern
stage this comedy is said to be of the
cleanest type.
The sceene is laid in a Washington
hotel frequented by the nobility of
England and France and changes
with the season to a swell hotel at
Narragansett and the theme deals
with the attempt of a certain foreign
nobleman to marry certain American
heiresses, and the successful wiles
of Dan Cupid" in folling their well
laid plans produce many mirth pro-
voking situations.
The score is very harmonious
throughout and is enlivened by the
introduction of the very latest mus
ical specialties, consisting of musical
numbers. The cast is well balanced
and well formed and the final resul
of seeing Dan Cupid is to leave one
still more in love with the little God
Of Love than ever. Opera House
