“DeOoted to Her Father.
Although the re-election of Charles
A. 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

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

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

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."

Deems Actor's Kiss "Rude*
The vexed question of kissing on
the stage has been vividly brought
back into prominence by the amended
complaint in the suit brought by Miss
; Katherine Gray (Mrs. Mason of San
Francisco) against Richard Mansfield
| in the courts of New York city. 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.

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<li*n Death of I.ou l.amon.
EMERSON, Neb., Dec. 3.—Louis Lar
son. village marshal, wi^g found dead
in an alley adjoining Denielson’s sa
loon here. He was alone and appar
ently died from some internal injury
or from heart failure. There were no
bruises or external injuries to indicate
that, he had been waylaid and as
saulted. Nevertheless the people here
are suspicious of foul play and Coro
ner Rubel of Allen has been tele
graphed for and : n inquest will be
held.
Vork County'* Corn Crop.
YORK, Neb.. Dec. 3.—Corn buskers
are in great demand and as soon as
one job is finished a dozen farmers
are ready to employ them. It is a
common sight to see girls, young wo
men and even matrons shucking corn.
Cribs are filled to overflowing and corn
is piled in driveways on the ground.
The weather has been fine for shuck
ing and farmers hope to be through
before cold weather sets in. York
county corn is of good quality and
good yield and at tho present prices
is a money-making crop.
Heavy transfer of I,ami.
GOTHENBURG, Neb., Dec. L—C.
W. Wiggins and Foster & Fonche of
Ames have just completed a deal by
which they become owners of some
2,240 acres of grazing land about ten
miles south of this place. This is to
be used for a sheep and cattle ranch
and will lie one of the largest in this
part of the state.
State Capital Note*.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 3.—Treasurer
Meserve today issued a call for war
rants registered from 60.931 to 61,370.
The aggregate is $50,000 and will lie
payable on December 8.
The meeting of the state offlcials
elect scheduled for December 1 was
postponed until December 14, because
of the absence of Charles Weston, who
Is now in Wyoming.
It is estimated that the backers of
the Minnesota foot ball team lost In
the neighborhood of $3,000 on the re
sult of the game in this city. Mos*
