plea of guilty to a charge of killing
a horse with a club.
Gearey told the story himself. He
said the horse was stubborn and re-
fused to move away from the home
barn on Wednesday when the time
came to resume work after dinner;
that he had tried every sort of per-
suasive influence to get the horse to
move, but that all of them failed !;
that he finally resorted to a club and
with that he struck the horse i'm the
head, knocking the animal down,
and the animal died within a few
minutes. He admitted that he struck
harder than he thought, because he
was mad.
Calculating the value of the horse
at present prices for horses and
adding thereto the fine and the loss
of ten days of work. a court official
figures that this display of temper
cost Gearey about $500. Gearey
said that he had lived in Aberdeen
four years and has a family consist
ing of a wife and son.

Here is the story of THE MOST
REMARKABLE WOMAN IN THE
WORLD.
Time differs as between cities, but,
waving that detail
This woman, wonderously beauti-
full, tonight steps from her motor in
to the entrance of the Ritz or Savoy
in London accompanied by one of
the most desirable men that society
can offer.
Again, this afternoon. this same
woman is having tea IN the yeranda
at SHEPHERDS in Cairo and measur-
ing with her inscrutable, Mona Lisa
eyes the country and the people to
be found at the gateway of the Gar
den of Allah.
Tonight, too, she is at the Cafe de
Paris.
She is dancing at the Cliff House
in San Francisco, or racing up the
ocean boulevard in Los Angeles 10
keep a dinner engagement al the
Alexandria.
IN EVERY CITY, IN EVERY
SMART SHOP IN THE WORLD. all
of you SEE her; this same. unex-
plainable woman.
AT the masseur's at the perfum-
er's. at the modiste's. at the butch
er's or the broker's-THERE SHE
is. AND YOU CANNOT ESCAPE
HER.
SHE is EVERYWHERE.
She is rich. She is poor. She
has everything except honor or she
has nothing minus honor. She is
somebody's runaway daughter, or
some mans abused wife. She is a
BIRD OF PARADISE, leaving some
haven of discomfort and BOUND
FOR THE PASSAGE OF GOD
KNOWS WHERE. She beguiles, al.
lures or depresses the gambler and
the diplomat. In ALL lands and in
ALL times she has marched along
the social fringe of things, bedecked
or b~edraggled.
You cannot defy her. You cannot
escape her. She is THE ETERNAL
MAGDALENE." She is coming to
this city next Thursday at the I'm
perial theater.

CAUSES SENSATION
ARREST in SIOUX FALLS IN con.
NECTTON WITH MADISON
CHECK DEAL.

Sioux Falls, April 22.-The arrest
of II. M. H~essenius, formerly en-
gagged in the automobile business in
Sioux Falls, is one of the develop
ments i'm connection with an inycsti-
cation Of an ALLEGED check %sw!ndllng
case, which promises further arrests
and disclosures of a startling nature.
Confessions have been procured, not
only from Hessenius but, il is de-
clared, also from two other men who
were said to be associated with him
in the swindle these two being Len
Mccullough, formerly manager Of
the Merchants Elevator company at
Madison, and a wealthy farmer liy-
ing lea Madison.
The charge against Hessenius is
that he split" a check for $2,010
with Mccullough. 1t was drawn to
the order of Hessenius, who took it
to the Lake County National bank at
Madison, where his telephoned idan-
~tification was accepted and a CASH
ier's check given him, according to
the authorities. This he brought to
Sioux Falls and cashed at the Sioux
Falls National bank. and his arrest
took place when he appeared at the
bank here to cash the check.
Mccullough was manager of the
elevator at Madison until the middle
of February of this year. 1t was
shortly after his successor had taken
possession that a time bomb was
found in the elevator and destruction
of the building narrowly averted.
Mccullough a placed under arrest
two or three weeks ago. The activi-
ties of the alleged swindlers are said
TO have covered a considerable period
of time and to involve several thou
sand dollars.
Some of the most clever crooks i'm
this part of the country are said to
be involved in the "ring," which has
been operating in several cities and
towns. Detective John p. Hoy, of
Minneapolis, is given credit for pro
curing the evidence and bringing
about the arrest OF those already i'm
custody.

VICTORY loan
SUCCESS IN SALE OF BONDS AS
SURED IN NINTH DISTRICT.

Minneapolis, April 22.-Special:
Ninth district Victory Liberty loan
headquarters was swamped today un-
der a flood of kilograms from all
sections of the district reporting sue
cess. Early indications are that the
Ninth district will again lead all 9TH
ers in subscribing the quota asked to
finish the job. About IL per zen of
the 2S6 counties have reported over
subscriptions but r still working to
make every possible sale. Treasury
officials today formally credited the
Ninth district with having the first
town over the top in the United
States. 1t was South st. Paul with
a subscription of $350,0O0. Chair
man A. r. Rogers announced he had
no fear of the Ninth district failing
in its duty but he is anxious to have
the greatest possible percentage of
distribution. THE real success Of the
loan depends upon the distribution
of these securities" he said.
Don't worry about selling too many
Victory notes. An oversubscription
will bring additional credit to your
community and to this district. The
possession of Victory notes will be
a future benefit to any community"

WOMEN KICK OUT MEN
WHO GAVE THEM VOTE

Atlanta, SPIT 4.-Members of the
city Democratic executive committee
which recently granted Atlanta wo-
men the privilege of voting in the De-
nocratic white primary, appeared to-
night to have been defeated to a
man, and according to E. c. Bucha-
nan, chairman, the result was due to
feminine votes.
Members of this committee are
elected in the primary at which city
officials are nominated and after
granting the primary ballot to wo-
man, committee members became
embr0iled with suffrage leaders over
disposal of the $3.766 registration
fees the women paid. 1t had been de-
cided by the committee that the
money should be donated to charity
the committee reserving final de-
cisi0n as to what charity Some OF
the feminine leaders did not approve
the committees choice and announ-
ced their intention to beat Chairman
Buchanan particularly. The chairman
said tonight he was almsot sure he
had been defeated.
Wbmen cannot vitc in elections in
Georgia and it was pointed out by
friends of the committeeman that the
present committee remains in control
of primary affairs until January next,
and might rcscind its suffrage grant
Mr.. Buchanan declines to say public
ly whether this would be done.
There was no mayorality contest
today and light vote was polled,
only about $500 out of total regis
tration of 1860 men and 776 womcn
Newspaper reports showed that far
greater percentage of women voted
than men. Aldermen councilmen and
other municipal officers were nomin-
ated in the primary which normally
is equivalent to election.

Rather indefinite reports have been

Fallon men who have invested $500
in the services of a geologist to ex-

likelihood of oil being found there
and that favorable report has been
submitted. The Reno Gazette touched
the subject yesterday:
Reports reaching Reno this morn

struck in the saltwater district east
of Fallon caused some excitement
here, but reports received later di-
rectly from Fallon gave no grounds
for any rush to a new oil field.
"Prospectors have been at work for
some time about eighteen miles east
of Fallon. and have recently found
good indications of oil, but no oil
flow has besen encountered so far
