KKSUI.T IN OLYtVHANT.
It. J. Gallagher l'lccted Councilman in the
Second Ward.
The election in Olyphant was very ex
citing. In the First and Third wards
there were -independent tickets. W. J.
Schubntehl, the energetic editor of the
Olyphant Gazette, was an Independent
candidate for burgess, and gave ad
ditional snlce to the campaign. The re
turns from the First and Third wards
give Matthews, the Republican, a ma
jority of about lll'ty votes.
He polled twice as many votes as his
friends counted upon his receiving.
Justice Cunimiirgs is re-elected by a
substantial majority. In the First ward
William McNally was elected school di
rector and Patrick Dempsey council
man. In the Second ward It. J. Gal
lagher was elected to the council. Mr.
Gallagher was a school director u num
ber of terms and afterward served as
burgess. He was the Democratic nomi
nee for recorder of deeds several years
ago, and is well known throughout the
county. Mr. Gallagher overcame a Re
publican majority of about fifty, and
this Is very nattering to him, when It
is considered that his opponent, Mr.
Brown, is one of the most popular men
In town. In the Third ward Thomas
Cutran was elected councilman.

Philadelphia Stockholder: "Legislators
who nre. showing so much hostility to the
railroad Interests of the country are fol
lowing a short-sighted policy, which Is
likely to react on them when least cx
pected. Bills nre being Introduced In
many of the state legislatures which, If
they liecome laws, will certainly have
the effect of reducing railway earnings.
Who will be the real sufferers? Certainly
not the railroads, for tlicy will Imme
diately proceed to reduce expenses by fur
ther cut of wages. It thus becomes ap
parent that hostile legislation, contem
plated or already Introduced can be of no
benefit to railway employes: on the con
trary. It will be directly harmful to thein,
as a general reduction In wages will not
only restrict the purchasing power of that
class, but may lead to something worso,
as It Is quite probable such reductions
will not be accepted by the employes with
out a light. Such legislation, therefore,
alms more directly at labor than at cap
ital, and the sooner the legislators real
ize this fact the better It will be for the
country generally. Railroad employes
owe It to themselves to compel their rep
resentatives In slate legislatures to thor.
oughly understand the situation."

Beatrice, Neb., Feb. 1!). About ten
days ugo Beatrice people and acquain
tances of 10. T. Root, real estate, loan
and Insurance agent, were surprised to
read in Omaha papers of his marriage.
On his return alone he denied having
been married, but admitted that he hnd
taken out a license and afterward
changed his mind. Public curiosity
has again been aroused by the appear
ance in this city of a woman claiming
to bit Mrs. K. T. Boot, and so she regis
tered at the lintel. After producing a
marriage certlllcate showing that the
two had been married in Omaha, .Feb.
9, last, by the rector of an Kplscopal
parish she gave the following story:
"1 became acquainted with Mr. Root
about four monlhsiigii by letter through
a mutual friend. Wo corresponded,
and linally agreed to meet In Oinalia,
where I was going to visit friends. That
was the first time we had ever met. He
came to Omaha the Sth, und we were
married the following day in the par
lors of tho parish of a rectory. It was
then decided that I should return home,
pack my household goods and go to
Beatrice about the llrst of the month,
he stating that he desired to secure a
larger house than the one lie was living
in with Ids two daughters. I had my
household effects packed when I re
ceived a letter from Mr. Runt which
caused me to come here at once. It
was a cruel letter, and In It lie suggested
that we get divorced. I was dumb
founded and1 could not understand It.
Lust night, when I and my 8-year-old
daughter reached here, I was driven to
Mr. Hoot's home. A young lady, who
I presume was Ills daughter, came to
the door nnd replied lu the allirniative
when I Inquired if K. T. Root lived
there, but said 1 had mistaken the place
after I had introduced myself. I then
returned to the hotel." ,
She was unsuccessful In seeing her
husband today, although he was ut
home last evening. Mr. Root is one of
the best-known men in the city. He al
ways figured hugely in politics. His
last of three wives died suddenly in
Chicago while attending the World's
fair. He has two handsome daughters,
for whom he holds in trust a large
amount of property, but is not consid
ered well-to-do himself. Mrs. Root Is
still ut the hotel, has secured an attor
ney and says the will remain in the
city Indefinitely. She says that she
was formerly the wife of a banker
named Russell, to whom she was mar
ried at Alnamosa, la. Also that she
lias lived in Sioux City, her present
home, for six years; that she was city
librarian there for two years und that
of late she has been keeping house for
her two sons, who are in business. She
Is dressed stylishly, is about 40 years
old and claims to be unable to explain
her husband's conduct.
Kent's Version of the Affair.
Mr. Root gives (ho following version
of the affair: "The story that I re
fused to see this woman is false. I wis
not at home last night when she came
there and my daughter understood her
to inquire for my brother, C. M. Root.
They went to a ball and did not tell
me of her visit until this morning about
the time I hud to take a train nnd so
to Wymore on Important business.
This evening I called at the hotel im
mediately on my return nnd together
with a friend went to her room, where
I just came from. The facts about out
meeting are these: About six weeks
ago she wrote me from Sioux City, but
did not say where she obtained my
name. She said she wanted to get mar
ried and thought I would suit her. I
answered the letter and later went to
Omaha at her request. What followed
after that Is like a dream to me. Wo
were married and after living two days
as man and wife she complained that I
did not suit her. We then agreed to
part and I was to come home nnd she
was to go to her home In Sioux City,
und after awhile be divorced. This was
our perfect understanding and agree
ment. I denied my marriage after re
turning home for the reason that I
wanted for a time to keep it from my
family. As to my future intentions re
garding the matter I cannot suy."

TO our patrons:
Waslurn-Croshy Co. wish to assure thefr many pat
rons that tlicv will this year hold to their usual custom
of milliiiK S'IRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Croshy Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
S laced Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
rands.
