THREE ARE ASKING LEGAL SEPARATION

Divorces Asked by Two Husbands and One Wife—Another Case Said to Be in Prospect. The divorce mills will do some grinding at the April term of the circuit court which convenes next Monday. Three complaints for divorce have beep filed during the past few days and another is said to be peeking about the corners. Russell Hickam, through his attorney, George A. Williams, asks a divorce from Zejma Hickam, whom he states is now at Worthington, Ind. . His complaint states that they were married April 15th, 1911, and liVed together until the 24th of the following month, when, he asserts, she left his home and has since been separated from him. He 'charges her with cruel and inhuman treatment in that she would not cook his meals nor perform the household duties incumbent on a. wife. He also alleges that she associated with men of vile and lewd reputations. ■, ' Thos. F. Blake asks A divorce from Daisy Blake, whom he says he married Nov. 11 1900, and that they lived together until the spring of 1912, when she left him and did not return until August. Tney lived together until January, 1913, the complaint alleges, when she again left and refuses, to return. Tiie plaintiff alleges that he has been a dutiful husband and did ajl in his power to perform th# marital duties he assumed and that he has done all in his power to this end. Attorney Williams is the plaintiff’s counsel. Verdia Smith asks a divorce from John C. Smith and in the com-* plaint filed by Attorney John A. Dunlap states that they were married July 8, 1907, and lived together until Nov. 28, 1912. She alleges that for two years before their separation he absented himself from home most of the time and denied her his company, protection and support and contributed only $lO toward' her support during that time. There is one child, James Franklin Smith, aged 5 years, on April 24th. Another case that is to be filed soon is to legalize a contract separation peacefully agreed to by James A. Keister and wife of Jordan township. , Several creditors of Guy M. Beebe, the Newland merchant, have filed action on account. They make R. E. Lucas a co-defendant and allege that a pretended sale of the stock by Beebe to Lucas was made and ask that Lucas be made a receiver for the stock and sell it out for the benefit of all creditors named in the action. William Lytle has filed a complaint for the settlement of an account against John L. Turner, the old man- who lives the life of a recluse between here and Remington, and who has been spending some time in Rensselaer the past year. The complaint alleges that part of the account was loaned money, part for labor and other things. The amount asked is $115.30.

Wet Weather Delayed Practice But Appearances Indicate Record Breaking Team. In spite of the floods classes were resumed after Easter vacation at the regular catalogue-appointed time. The students were not all in, but every day brought some liberated ones, and still brings_some, and each has his own peculiar tales of. difficulties encountered on the washout way. One of them, from Ohio, safely reached Monon the other afternoon, and there he was told that there would not be a train till the next day. That was too long for him to wait, so Weary Willy-like he started down the track for Rensselaer. And while he was patiently hitting it over the ties, the train he had intended to take was rude enough to force him to give it the right of way. He arrived safely, however, and, excepting the fatigue of the long hike, none the worse for the experience. The base ball squad has not been able to do much outdoor work owing to the wet condition of the diamond. All appearances indicate that we will have another recordbreaking team. With the exception of the catcher and two of the outfielders, the members of the last season team will be at their old positions, and the new men showup splendidly, and ought to give as good an-account of themselves as the men did whose places they will be called upon to fill. It is, moreover, the first St. Joe team that will have a player who has already affixed his signature to a big lekgue contract, to be effective as soon as the college season closes. Pitcher, J. Lili will join the Toronto team of the International League about the middle of June. Manager Paul Deery has arranged a good strong schedule. There are some possible dates stifi open, but they too will soon be filjjed. Following is the list of games that w ll keep the team well engaged during the season: April 13—Stars at Collegeville. April 20—St. Xavier, Collegeville. April 26—Loyola Academy, Collegeville. May I—Loyola University, Collegeville. May B—Cathedral College, Collegeville. May 17—Loyola University, Chicago. May 24—Wheaton College, Collegeville. May 30—Wheatfield, Wheatfield. ‘ June 7—St. Cyril’s College, Collegeville. June 16—Alumni, Collegeville.'

If you want a cheap, medium or high grade buggy, we have It for you. HAMILTON & KELLNER. President Wilson probably will fill the majority of the nine vacant ambassadorships before the beginning of the extra session of congress next Monday. Developments in Washington Tuesday brought out that Walter H. Page editor of World’s Work, and an intimate friend of Mr. Wilson, had been offered and had accepted the ambassadorship to Great Britain. Just as much as you value your $ $ $ you will make a mistake if you decide on your new spring suit without seeing our Friedman Worsted line. ROWLES & PARKER. Statistics issued Tuesday from the bureau of railway economics at Washington show the ehrnings of railroads throughout the United States last January were much lar ger than those for the corresponding month in 1912. Operating income for each mile of line averaged $7.66 for each day in January last, while in January, 1912, this average was $5.09 a day.

ST. JOE ANNOUNCED BASEBALL SCHEDULE

“The Plow a Man Can Pull” Is sold by Hamilton & Kellner. Between seven and eight thousand painters, decorators, paper hangers and calciminers are on strike in Chicago today. The walkout is the result of the failure of the officials of Painters and Decorators’ District Council and employers to come to an agreement over the working rules and wages demanded by the painters in their new contract. The old contract expired at midnight Tuesday night. Nearly $300,000 already has been raised In Chicago for the benefit of the flood and tornado sufferers. Twenty-six cars of clothing, bedding, provisions and medical supplies Tuesday were shipped by freight, and two cars of express packages were rushed to various stricken points.
