Boutelle of Maine to a seat in con- j gress will probably never reach him, it is a source of great satisfaction to his daughter. Miss Grace, who is de voting her life to his comfort. As is well known, Mr. Boutelle has been for miny months an inmate of a pri vate asylum at Waverly. Mass. His mind is a complete wreck and even the most sanguine of his friends have given up hope of his restoration to reason. During his entire illness Mr. Bou telle’s daughter has been a ministering angel. She Is a beautiful young wom an and was long a favorite in Wash ington society. She would he gladly welcomed back to the scenes of her social triumphs, but has chosen in stead to remain close to her father. She has sacrificed everything to he as near the one she loves as possible. Not a day passes hut she drives from her j GRACE BOHTELLE. lodgings to the insane asylum to spend as many hours with the patient as the doctors will allow. By her ten der and loving caresses she seems to soothe the uneasy patient, and if Con gressman Boutelle recovers the doc tors declare the credit will be due to his affectionate daughter. Good Roads 'Recommendations. Besides providing for a permanent highway improvement organization, with headquarters in Chicago, the na tional good roads convention recently held in that city adopted certain gen- ■ eral recommendations made by a com- ; mittee for the promotion of the end in view. The first recommendation is rather obscurely worded, but it seems to i mean that the state should repeal the provisions of their road laws requiring , people to work so many days each year j on the roads and substitute therefor j a provision requiring cash payment of road taxes. This is reasonable as far ' as it goes, because the labor under this system Is largely ineffective and mis applied; the work is pretty much all done at one time, which is irrational, and it is rarely well directed. It was stated by one of the speakers at the convention that fully 75 per cent of j the work done under this system was thrown away. With the taxes paid in cash and the money used to buy suit- ; able materials and appliances and to j employ capable workmen and direct them wisely far more and better re sults would be secured at no great ex- j pense. The second recommendation was that state legislatures make provi sion for the employment of convict la bor in prei>aration of material for the i construction of roads. Thb third rec ommendation is the passage of suitable state laws in aid of the work of im provement and the appointment of “non-partisan” highway commission ers. Marquis of Anglesey. The Marquis of Anglesey, who has just been sued by his wdfe for divorce, is Henry Cyril Paget, and head of the famous Paget family, whose members are intermarried with prominent Am erican houses. The marquis is only 25 years old and succeeded his father two years ago. His wife is the daugh ter of Sir George Chetwynd. the fa mous turfman. She is a beautiful wom an of 20, with violet eyes and Ti v I* MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY, tian hair. The pair have never got on well together since the marriage. She left her husband in the middle of their honeymoon because of the marked symptoms of insanity exhibited by him. He tries to dress like a woman, carries pug dogs in his promenades, wears rings on every finger, and ap pears on the public stage as a skirt dancer. The marquis inherits his ec centricities. His mother was erratic and committed suicide because she was not happy with her husband. The marriage of Anglesey and his wife was made to secure inheritance on both sides, and it was not their intention to live together. I-t Called the Corn King. A new star has risen on the Chicago Hoard of Trade. This latest star on 'change belongs to the constellation taurus, for he has given corn such a boost as it has not had for many a day. The big institution is more or less ac customed to all kinds of financial sen sations, but George H. Phillips has given the board a nervous shock of the kind probably a little different from any received heretofore. Mr. Phillips is the youngest man who even engineered a corner in grain in Chicago, and the youngest who ever attempted such a stupendous opera tion. The young, man is not yet ' years of age, and he has only been a dealer upon the Board of Trade for Goo. H. Phillips. a period of eight years. The extremely boyish appearance of the big bull has occasioned no end of remark since he Jumped into such prominence. Mr. Phillips is slender and short of stature, is light, almost pale, complexioned, with light eyes and hair and a man of most unpretentious appearance and address. He is so extremely modest and unassuming that the notoriety he has attained and the attention which he has attracted have been almost painful to him. One on Senator Clark A new bit of Washington gossip tells how one dav last winter Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, being about to enter the senate chamber from the public corridor, was accost ed by one of two little girls, who had wandered in there. "Mister, what does it cost to go in there?" said the child. At that moment Chandler saw Clark, the Montana millionaire, coming around the corner. "Ask that man.” said the New Hampshire man. "He knows all about it.” Wife of Governor Elect Herreid Governor Elect Herreid of South Da kota is very proud of his talented wife. She is prominently identified with all movements in -the state. She is a typi cal western woman, and was born in Mindora, La Crosse county, Wis., Feb. 6, 1859. Her father, Henry Harrison. Slye, was a pioneer of Wisconsin, and was formerly from New York state. Mrs. Herreid attended the public schools and later went to Galesville university. After leaving college she taught in the public schools until her marriage in 1881. Two years later she MRS. CHARI.ES H. HEEREID. removed to South Dakota with her husband and has since been a resident of that s tate. Cheater “ 'Blabbers.” Under the head-line, "Bunee the Blabbers,” a Cedar Rapids paper makes vigorous protest against the chatterers who disturb theater and lec ture audiences. It offers a reward of $5 for the first usher who will “go after such idiots in the proper man ner.” and refers to one of them as having a mouth that “would be a profitable enterprise if turned into a windmill."

The j complaint brought by the actress is , unusual in the fact that Miss Grey ! does not so greatly object to the kiss of itself, regarding such osculation as I an exigency of the part in which she was playing, but she objects strenuous ly to Richard Mansfield’s manner in performing the act. The amount of her objection is placed at $3,500, the damage being asked for the reason ( Copyright by Morrison.) MISS KATHERINE GREY, that the plaintiff "became seriously ill anti shocked so that she required modi cal aid and attendance.” The amend ed complaint also contains some stric tures on the eminent actor himself, which venture into the realm of the expletive. Miss Grey also alleges that Mansfield insulted her by coming into the stage box when she was before the footlights, and by mocking her caused her to become nervous, an at tack of nervous prostration which oc curred soon after being ascribed to this cause. The case will come up for trial shortly. ft elv SJorK S^toeatshcps. It is a striking but notorious fact that, through the vigorous factory leg islation and inspection carried out by Massachusetts, the sweatshop has been abolished in Boston and throughout that state. It is also true, however, that the trade formerly carried on ; there has to some extent simply trans ferred Its habitat to New York city. The latter city has thus gained in an injurious and impolitic form of indus try. and actually sends the product thereof to Boston to be sold over its counters. Notwithstanding this par tial nullification, however, of its ac tion, Massachusetts has the satisfic | tion of having added to the honorable | traditions of the old Bay States in this line, by again blazing the way, even at its own seeming cost, in progres sive public action.

FAKIRS WORKING THF FARIVitRS. Selling Cheap Watch** tinder Koga* (•tin ran ten at Fancy l’rlre*. GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Dec. 3.—A stranger has been selling farmers of this vicinity three-dollar watches for ten dollars and giving the guarantee of local jewelers that they would keep the timepieces in repair. The facts be came known last Saturday, when a farmer entered the jewelry store of August Meyer and wanted his watch repaired, incidentally mentioning that Mr. Meyer had guaranteed the watch for such and such a length of time. Mr. Meyer was somewhat surprised, as he had never handled such a timepiece, and was still further stunned to have the patron pull a piece of paper from his pocket—a written guarantee— which the farmer stated his (Meyer’s) agent had given him. It developed that the fakir had first come to Grand Island and posted himself upon the different Jewelers, could talk of all of them and thus impress the farmers that he was genuine. Kearney Suffer* Two I)l*»Htern. KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. 3.—Kearney suffered its second disaster last week by the burning of its gas plant. If the Standard Oil company’s tanks should now be destroyed the citizens would have to resort to tallow can dles. Tuesday the canal pipe, which sup plied the electric light plant, burst and the flood from the lake wrecked the lighting plant, causing a loss of $50,000. Friday evening an attendant at the Kearney gas plant was doing some work around the big gas tank or res ervoir, when the escaping gas became ignited by the lantern which he car ried, and in a few minutes the entire reservoir was burning. The fire com pany responded quickly, but was un able to do anything save protect the surrounding buildings The damage is considerable, but is covered by insur ance. Since the damage to the water pow er the city has l>een depending on the gas company for its lights and its de struction by fire makes the question of lights a very serious one. Gov. Dietrich’# Appointment#. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 3.—Governor Dietrich says that he has decided to appoint Dr. Kern of Wood River su perintendent of the Asylum for Incur able Insane at Hastings. He announc ed also that in his inaugural address he would probably advocate the cre ation of a State Board of Control to have charge of state institutions. Con cerning the minor appointments in the state institutions Governor Dietrich said all applications for such positions should be made to the superintend ents selected. The inaugural ball will probably be given in the Auditorium January 3. I’otaonon# Corn Fodder. BUR WELL, Neb., Dec. 3.—Farmers and ranchmen in this vicinity are greatly wrought up over the fact that dozens of cattle are dying from what is said to be a poison in the corn stalks and nearly all the rarmers are compelled to yard and close feed their cattle. Hundreds of acres of corn stalks will have to be cut and burned, as that is the advice given by the vet erinarians that have examined the matter. The price of straw and hay lias advanced about $1 per ton in the last week, for all cattle will have be wintered in that way. Gan for Grand Army. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Dec. 3.—The commander of the Grand Army of the Republic post in this city has received a letter, through Congressman Bur kett, from Brigadier General H. R. Buffington stating: "I have the honor to inform you that in compliance with your request the commanding officer at Fort Miffln. Philadelphia, Pa., has this day been instructed to turn over to you one 42-pounder gun." The can non will probably arrive here before tho first of next year. Sud
