HER ROMANCE
Additional Circumstances Of the
Suicide Of a Sioux Falls
Young Woman.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 23. Developments
show that a semi insane love for her
husband, which was not reciprocated
because the couple were mismated,
was responsible for the recent suicide
in this city of Mrs. Ray Goddard,
ticket taker at a local theater, who
ended her life by drinking a quantity
of carbolic acid.
The young woman, who was only
about Is years of age, was a Bohemi-

TRADE REVIEW
Dun's Agency Reports Optimis-
tic Sentiment In Business.

New York. Feb. %. -Following is
a review of business for the past week
by Dun's commercial agency: Wealth
er conditions we're an important factor
in the business situation this week.
Recent storms impeded railroad traf-
fc and retarded the distribution of
merchandise, yet certain lines Of trade
benefited by the heavy snowfall and
zero temper atures. There was a
notable increase in the movement of
footwear and heavyweight apparel.
while fuel was in greater demand.
Sentiment in commercial and in
dustrial channels remains optimistic,
and evidences Of improving conditions
accumulate. This is particularly true
of wool sales. which continue large at
a advancing prices. A material reduc-
tion has occurred in supplies at all sea.
| board markets since the opening of the
year, and in some instances stocks
| are now scarce. Both cotton aud
wooden mills are we'll employed, as q
rule. and prospects are considered
| satisfactory.
Failures this week numbered 1896
in the United States, against 334 last
year, and SO in Canada, as compared
with 81 a year ago.

dence that even--a at that time she was
deeply in love- with Goddard, and
Goddard apparently..thought much of
her.
Miss Base finally departed from Yer
million, and at about the same time
Goddard also left the city. Then a
few days later, came the story that
they had been married. At the time
it was rnmored that a brother of the
young woman was responsible for the
marrisge. the ramon being to the effect
that be followed them and found them
living under conditions which made
him deter mined that a marriage cere-
mony should be performed. Ii was
said that under threats of arrest on the
charge of violating tie Mann act,
other wise known as the white slavery
law, Goddard concluded to consent to
the marriage.
After the marriage his love for the
girl ia said to have decreased while
her love for him is stated to have in
creased in a corresponding ratio.
From letters left by the girl wife
Goddard evidently determined to de-
sert her, and acquainted her with his
purpose, and a short time later she
ended her life. Not the slightest
trace of Goddard has been found since
his mysterious disappearance in the
forenoon of The day his bride commit
ted suicide.

COSTLY FIRE
Town of Hitchcock Suffers a
Loss of SIS, 900.

Huron, Feb. 23.-A loss of $25, 900
from fire at Hitchcock at an early
hour Friday morning is the result of
what is supposed to be the work of
a fire bug, the large general store of
Il. L. Clifford and the opera house
building being totally destroyed. The
Gifford store was a large general
merchandise establishment and the
greater loss is sustained by it's manage
ment. The total loss is only partially
covered by ins france.
The first flames were discover ed at a
late hour in a pile of cobs along side
of the opera house building, where
ear lier in the evening there had been
a dance. There coils. it is stated,
were found to be saturated with
kerosene, which was naturally con
side,ed suspicious About an hour
later a second blaze was discovered in
the Clifford building next door and this
spread so rapidly that the entire in
terror of the bnilding seemed to be
atire in a very short time. The
flames spread into the opera house
block and both structures were de-
stroyed.
Within a period of six years the
four chief business corners in the
business sction of Hitchcock have had
the buildings burned off of them,
under peculiar circumstances, the last
fire being only a few months ago, and
destroying and damaging several build.
ings. 1t is believed by many residents
of Hitchcock that there is a real in
cendiary living among them, but,
whoever it may be, he is a clever
one.

Lid you ever feel so very dlSaSree-
able that nothing in the world SEEM
ed worth while and you felt spiteful
toward the people with laughing
faces and happiness in their hearts?
That was the mood in which l en-
tered a. moving picture show one
night not long since. Consequently
when male creature crushed past /
me and stepped on my foot turned
toward him with baneful glare.
Of course, l expected the usual |
empty apology because no apology |
ever soothes a foot that has been |
tramped on, but you can imagine my |
surprise when instead of an apology |
the mortal looked at me with grin |
so good-natured and full of the joy |
of living that before 1 thought 1
grinned back.
That was a mistake, because he |
was f1irtatious mortal and also an |
irrepressible one, as l was soon to
discover.
Having rectified my mistake in
smiling by looking at him icily for
moment, l turned back to the pic
lures, only to be conscious that he
was dividing. his attention between
the screen and my face.
And in the next interval when 1
knew he was looking at the pictures
l looked at him. He really was quite
progressing; he had shock of
hair that made you just long to rum
pie it with your fingers, and his nose
wasn't very large or full of charac-
ter, but it turned up in an adorable
manner. 49,
He caught me looking at him and
his green blue eyes flashed another
smile of comradeship, but this time
wasn't caught off my guard, though 1
did turn hastily away.
Then something funny in picture
made me forget my grievance against
the world and I laughed aloud

without waiting for my reply" there
was an awful funny one in here last
night"
l made no reply, but this did not
discourage him, for very soon felt
his shoulder pressed quite affection
ately against me and wriggled over
in my seat only to encounter the
shoulder of a very fat lady on the
other side, who glared at me, so
wriggled back.
This encouraged the f1irtatious
one still more. He contented him
self with leaning against me for a
few moments then, to my amaze
ment, he reached over and took hold
of my hand.
Of course, 1 tried to draw away,
but he held the hand so tightly 1

The earth do" move!
The solid land has tides-has rise
and fall of the surface which we
tread just as the ocean has rise and

1t is a mass so strong that its rightly
is greater than that of solid steel

Experiments now indicate that the

All these amazing discoveries have
recently been made by Prof. A. A.
Nicholson and associates of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Prof. Nicholson is noted as the
winner of the Nobel prize for scienti-

pipes and mechanism for measuring
the tides in the water were invented
by Prof. Nicholson. The bitches were

At each end of the pipes hole ten
feet deep was dug and an inclosed
concrete easement made, to which
the experimenters could descend and
ascertain the rise and fall of the
water level with minutest precision.
This they did every hour, day and
night, for two months.
Nicholson and his associates had
decided that surface land tides should
exist if the earth was absolutely rigid.
