HIS ROMANCE COST $4,000.
Farmer Casberg, Who Advertise
for Wife, Got Costly One.

SIOUX FALLS. S. Oak, Sept. t.
Martin Casberg. a Deuel. county farm
er who Is rated as being worth about
$4,000. wanted a wife and instead OF
singing out and paying court to some
OF the fine women OF Deuel. county he
advertised in a matrimonial paper. A
Chicago woman answered the adver-
tisement and in due time they were
married.
Trouble arose and resulted in a sep
aration after Casberg had paid her
the sum OF $4,000 on condition that
she would remain away. A few weeks
ago the woman. having learned that
Casberg was much richer than size
supposed at the time OF accepting the
$4,000, instituted an action for ali
mony and support. Casberg then paid
the woman an additional 1880 and
her attorney $500. and she was given
a divorce.
To date Casberg's eventful although
belated voyage on the matrimonial
sea has cost him about $4,000.

TO the bitterness OF the quarrel Is
that Ii Is understood Mascagni had

held In Rome in the spring OF 1911.

the triumph of the Italian celebra-

appealed to. II is said. and the Italian
court is using all Its influence TO keep
Mascagni from giving this opera In

Mark Twaln's Speeches" This
book consists Of a correction Of Mark
Twain's speeches made at various
times and on widely different occas-
ions during his life. and for the first
time published in this form. In the
book are some of his earliest lectures
and speeches. They show in an &C.
centuated way Mark Twain's char
acteristics. The speeches when not
extempOraneous were composed TO be
spoken and, therefore, have a simple
and more direct style than is found IN
his writings, but they are distinctly
his work, with Characteristic humor
and method This collection OF
speeches show one remarkable thing
alout Mark Twain-there are no repe-
titions.
The lectures and speeches cover al
most every conceivable subject. In
uoint OF time they cover more than
half OF Mr. Clemens long life. Many
OF them were delivered on important
occasions. Besides the early speeches
there IS the one delivered az oxford,
when the great English university gave
him a doctors degree. There Is one

TO the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 When was Chas. Akers elected to the office of Lord High Priest and Judge?
 After nearly disrupting the commer- oial club for the sole purpose of boost ing the circulation of his paper. he now inveiglcs a prominent business man to become his candidate for the same purpose. and lays down the dic- tum that he and his candidate are the cnly honest people. Everybody else is a liar or thief. The cry of corruption is raised and directed at our present officials. when as matter of fact we have a city that all. irrespective of party. should be proud of.
 The man or paper that advertises his town as depraved and corrupt when such is not the case is not fit for citizenship and is a detriment to the advancement of Phoenix, a city we should all be proud of.
