Boone, Iowa, Aug.

20. Mrs. Sherman Dye, the woman who stood bravely by her husband throutrh all trouble incident to the poisoning of Miss Rena Nelson of Pierre, S. bv uiuj, lias yuouciy aenounced the man and filed damaging charges in the district court. Spice is added to the case from the fact that Mrs.

Dye alleges that Dye has been in the habit of spendiner his money on other women and engaging himself with young girls and women instead of his wife and dauehter. These are practically the same charges which were made against Dye at the time the Rena Nelson poisoning came up, and at that time Mrs. Dye indignantly denied that she had any misgivings whatever regarding her husband, or his affiliations with other women. Friends of Mrs. Dye say that she has suffered terribly since the death of Miss Rena Nelson at Pierre.

Miss Nelson was a young woman upon whom it was alleged Dye had showered some attention. When Miss Nelson was suddenly taken ill at her home in Pierre, S. an examination of her case was made by physicians. It was discovered that she was suffering from poison, and further investigation revealed the fact that she had eaten canriv received from Bonnp Tnwn Immediately suspicion was cast upon Mrs. Sherman Dye and jealousy assigned as the cause of an attempted murder.

Mrs. Dye 'maintained her innocence and Mr. Dye was then suspected! It developed just before Miss Nelson died that she had sent the candy to herself, not intending to cause death but to frighten -Dye and place the blame for the act upon Mrs. Dye and have her sent to the penitentiary, if possible, so that she could marry Dye. The dying girl made a confession, exonerating Mr.

and Dye, and accusing herself. Peace is said to have reigned only a short time in the Dye family after the poisoning incident was closed. In her petition for an injunction Mrs. Dye alleges that Dye has been constantly paying attention to other women; that he was cruel and unkind to ner ana often struck her in the presence of their daughter, Dolly Dye. Mrs.

Dye asserts that MIs Dolly has been changed from a strong, healthy girl to a girl of very nervous disposition on account of the actions of the father at home. She says that Mr. Dye's repeated cruel actions has caused the household to live in terror of him. She says also that Dye does not support her and asks that the court set aside a part of his wages monthly to pay the family expenses. He is an employe of the Northwestern railroad.

The court has granted a temporary -order restraining Dye from going to his home or disposing of his wages. Mrs. Dye is allowed a maintenance funu until the case is finally ad-Midicated. She does not ask for a di- GAVE CAPTAIN A STICK. Souvenir for C.

P. Summers While at Camp Lincoln. A very amusing incident that occurred at Camp Lincoln last week, while Company was doing duty for Uncle Sam, was at the expense of Captain C. P. Summers.

Over in England It 4s the habit of army officers to carry a short, handsomely dressed stick, known a- the "swagger stick," the same as it has become a custom for the swells in London to wear a single eye glass. Captain Summers has a handsome ovpnlnsr uniform, which he wore on special occasions. One evening last week, while he was looking nis prettiest, a committee of three, consisting of Dr. A. F.

Wilhelmy, Lieutenant Smick and Major Cassell, presented him with a "swagger stick," which was nothing more than a piece of broom handle prettily decorated with nibbons. The Captain accepted it in good grace and will keep it as a memento. INSTRUCTORS HERE. James Kirk, of Carbondale, Miss r'hoi-inttr. swum of Chamnaicm and D.

CHANGE FOR SOME GIRL At Small Cost She Can Attend Domestic Science School.

Farmers in State of Kansas Find Servants Prefer City to Country Life. Topeka, Aug. 20. "Hired girls all prefer to work in town," said T. B.

Gerow, State Free Employment Director. "They cannot be induced to go to the country to work. I have never yet been able to supply the demand for hired girls in the country. Working women say that country life is too monotonous. The hours of work are about twice as long as they are in the city and there is no Thursday afternoon off each week.

Wages in the country are not so good, either. A farmer thinks it is awful if he has to give more than $3 -a -week' fori a hired Cityt folks pay from $4 to $6 without a murmur. Come of it, you can't blame women ior preferring work in. the city. DR.

According to several who witnessed the accident the wheel literally flew to pieces as the train hit the bridge near the water works. Frag ments were hurled through the air for a consideratle distance.

The tra-a continued almost a mile before it could be brought under con trol and the derailment followed. That the caboose was not demolished is the source of wonder to all who were in it at the time of the wreck. It for tunately remained on the rails and the fact that the few cars immediately preceding it also retained their posi tion saved a number of the crew from injury. HEAVY EXCURSIONS The Wabash and the Great Central made things interesting yesterday in the excursion" line and carried almost as many passengers as last Suuday, which was heaviest day of the year. The surprise to all the railroads is the popularity of the Sunday low rate excursion to Chicago' the number of a passengers to that city and return being far beyond the most sanguine exudations.

She total number of passengers to "5cago yesterday was 186 over the Tvabash. The preceding Sunday the number was 363. That almost 200 people should take advantage of the second trip in the season following the heavy traffic of the week before is considered remarkable by the passenger department. Reports from farther up the line show that the passenger business there was fully as great in proportion and that the roads entering Chicago from the southern portions of the state poured into that city almost 15,000 people. The low rate on the Wabash to Springfield did not draw well and only ten passengers left here on the Danville train for that city.

This, however, is considered natural with the present popularity of the electric road between the cities. The Monticello train for Alton drew twenty-three from here and conveyed fully 100 from the neighborhood of Be-ment, Cerro Gordo and other places in that end of the division. Travel to the oil fields was comparatively large and forty passengers were taken from here to Clark county. The trip was unattended with any unusual incident. It is estimated that fully 1.000 people gathered in the oil district yesterday to" witness the shooting of 'a well.

Many of these came from other sections of the state. The Indianapolis low rate drew heavily, over 130 people leaving here for that city. The Great Central had made ample preparations for a heavy crowd and. it is. -stated that the tram went into the Indiana capital with over 600 people aboard.
