Eva went to work out at tho Chapln

been customary in the Chapln housohold
to roll it In cornmcal. Remonstrated

herself of an ultimatum that is said to
havo been a masterpiece of diplomacy.
Then sho put on her hat and went out
for tho evening.
It was nearly midnight of Sunday when
a larSf crowd of neighbors gathered In tho
street in iront or unapin s pmco to listen
t n logomachy between Mr. Chapln nnd
his domestic. Coming homo lato, Eva had
found herself locked out and tho head of
tho family was there to tell her sho could
not sleep In the house. This greatly dls
pleased her. It Is averred by competent
witnesses that sho became angry, launching
forth a diatribe upon her luckless employer
of remarkable vigor and considerable for
cnslo merit, besides being audible for live
blocks.
As her English wns chasto and decorous,
however, tho Judgo decided that the chargo
of disorderly conduct could not stand, so
sho was discharged. Mr. Chapln also dis
charged her.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Aug. IS. -(Special.)
W O. Porter of this city, president of
the Stnto I.eaguo of Republican Clubs, re
ports that tho league Is enjoying a grati
fying growth. Tho organization of Rough
Rider clubs is also proceeding throughout
tho state. Keystone, in tho Ulack Hills,
claims the honor of organizing tho first
club of this kind in the state. A significant
featuro of the organization of these clubs
Is the membership as compared with tho
republican voto In particular precincts at
tho last presidential election. For In
stance, at Keystono thoro aro threo times
us many members enrolled In tho Rough
Rider club Just formed thoro nn thero wero
republican voters In the town In 1S9G. The
snmo Is tho caso at Terry, another Ulack
Hills town, and Is doubtless truo of other
places. This points to a groat chnngo In
public sentiment over four years ugo nnd
with practically ns gratifying conditions
In other parts of tho stnto gives somo
foundation for tho belief that tho r' pub
licans will win In South Dakota next fall
by from 8,000 to 10,000. Rough Rider clubs
will bo organized In all tho country pro
clncti, as well ns in tho towns. The mem
bers of tho country clubs especially will
bo mounted, thus rendering It nny for
them fo reach the towns or concentrate
at other central points to be present when
campaign orators visit n particular lo
cality, or to attend rallies. It Is tho doslro
nf tho ofllcers of tho Stato Republican
league that all members provide themselves
wllh rough rider hats.
