THE ROMANCE FADES.
South Dakota Widow Weds Again and
Seeks Divorce After Trip.
Donestcol , S. D. , Oct. 7. The death
of u devoted husband , widow , heart ?
broken , seeks solitude in the wilds of
western Dakota , files on n claim ,
meets cowboy , falls In love , marries ,
goes on honeymoon , returns and sues
for divorce. Such Is the lot of one
of the prominent citizens of Bone-
steel. The Rosebud Lumber com
pany , with headquarters at Bonesteel
and yards at Burke and Gregory , was
owned by the Cady Lumber company
of Omaha , and until his death was in
charge of W. B. Hycr , who for twenty-
five years had been associated with
the Cady Lumber company. Mr. and
Mrs. Ilyer lived at Bonesteel and
were among its most highly respected
citizens. Last spring Mr. Hyer took
suddenly ill and died at tlio Paxton
hotel in Omaha , on April 5.
As soon as business matters could
be settled up Mrs. Ilyer , together with
her mother , left for Mead county ,
South Dakota , where they filed on a
claim something over sixty miles from
a railroad near the town of Bixhy.
It was hero that Mrs. Hyer met a
cowboy , Howard Luther by name , who
had also had the misfortune to lose
his mate , he , however , by the divorce
route. They fell in love and they
knew it , for on their second meeting
they were engaged and on their third
meeting they mounted their broncos
and hied themselves to Dcadsvood ,
where they were married. Mr. Luther
had a claim and a few cattle. Mrs.
Luther some money recently received
in way of life Insurance , which condi
tion prompt ; u the newly wed to take
an extended trip to the coast , taking
in the exposition and' various other
places of interest. All went well un
til Seattle was reached. At this
point Mr. Luther met a couple of his
old-time cronies from the plains of
South Dakota and the result was a
good old time spree , during which a
little "shooting up the town" was In
dulged In. This stunt was too much
for Mrs. Luther , who on her return
to South Dakota at once started suit
for divorce.
TOO STRENUOUS FOR MILITIA.
No More Joint Maneuvers With the
Regulars.
Washington , Oct. 7. Joint maneuv
ers of the regular army and the nation
al guard are a thing of the past , at
least there will be no repetition of the
recent Boston campaign ns long as the
present directing forces in the war de
partment are In control.
Some valuable lessons were learned
In that period of stress and privation ,
but the cost in human suffering Is held
by the war department officials to have
been out of all proportion to the ben
efits derived. And besides they are
now convinced that all of real utility
taught to the militiamen could just as
well have been Imparted through other
means and without filling the hospital
cots during the campaign and without
causing the dreary lists of absentees
on company roll calls in the national
; uard armories since then , attributable

PRESIDENT IN WILDERNESS
Away From Crowds and Speechmaking
Headed for Big Trees.
El Portal , Calif. , Oct. 7. In the wll
dernesB of the western slope of the
Sierras , away from the crowds nnd
the necessity of speech ranking , President
ident Tnft is traveling by stage coach
today toward the wonderful Marlposa
grove of big trees.
At Wawona he will spend the night
at the lonely tavern , on the outskirts
of the Yosomlte valley , before start
ing Friday morning to penetrate the
Mariposa grove.
The president and his party , con
slstlng of a score of persons , left this
little terminal station of the Yosemite
VaHey railroad at 7 a. m. The coaches
will travel steadily until 11:30 : o'clock ,
when a stop will be made at the little
settlement of Chinquapin.
Luncheon will be served In the for
est there and after a short rest the
journey toward Wawona will bo re
sumed , the scheduled time of the ar
rival there being between 4 and 5
o'clock.
Respite from the crowds , the brac
ing mountainous air , breathed amid a
scenic environment declared one of
the most beneficial in the world and a
simple diet of mountain trout , chicken
and bacon and eggs , are expected to
render the president fit for the re
mainder of his trip.
lie has three days of slghtFceing and
restful traveling to bring him around
Yosemite and there is not a speech of
any sort in sight until Fresno , Calif. ,
is readied next Sunday morning.
Despite the many suggestions from
the white house at Washington , which
have been telegraphed ahead , the hos
pitable people of the west continue to
vie with each other In preparing elab
orate bills of fare for the presidential
banquets. Mr. Taft has almost given
up the idea of getting simple food at
any public function , but lie takes the
situation philosophically.
President Taft , after spending to
night at Wawona and sitting by the
trees , tomorrow noon will proceed into
the valley. He will probably spend
Friday night at niaclorpoint or Sen
tinel hotel. On Saturday he will re
turn to El Portal to spend the night
and early on Sunday morning resume
his journey toward Los Angeles , ar
riving Monday morning.

Parade Down Broadway and Unveil
Monument to "Discoverer. "

In the discovery of the Hudson river
as in the case of the north polo there
Is "honor enougli for two , " thousands
of Italians , smothered in flags , bunting
nnd gay uniforms , paraded down
Broadway to the battery , when they
unveiled a statue of Giovanna Do Ve-
rnzzano , whom historians describe as
Lhe first trans-Atlantic voyager to ar
rive in Now York harbor.
With no intention to belittle the
ichievement of Henry Hudson , Italians
maintain that Vornzznno discovered
the Hudson in 1524 , or eighty-five years
before the Half Moon's arrival. But
the Florentine navigator , evidently re
garding the stream as an ordinary one ,
left no detailed report of the explora
tion of the river. On this account he
lias received but little recognition in
Lhe now world for his achievement.
The parade comprised 250 Italian
societies of New York , Now Jersey ,
Connecticut and Massachusetts , nearly
20,000 Italian men and women , and
200 sailors from the Italian cruisers.
