HUES A DIVORCE TO NAGGING WIFE
i Iowa Judge Says Husband! Was Driven from Home I in Order to Get Peace. i Hoone, la., July 20. Judge R. M. Wrlj?ht of Kort Dodge, presiding jurist of this Judicial district, has handed down a decision which is considered a most remarkable legal document. Coming, as it does, from a jurist who Is kindly, home loving, and a tender hearted old man, it Is all the more remarkable. Judge Wright recently listened to the evidence in a suit for separate maintenance. His kindly face betrayed nothing of what was to como in the opinion handed down. He sayB that if the good Lord ever made a man who could live at case and comfort with the woman who was suing he would like to see him, for he would be a phenomenon. The opinion has been read by all attorneys in this city and is attracting much attention. The decision follows in full, it being short and to the point: "A bright, capable, and fairly good looking woman has obtained a divorce from two husbands on the ground of desertion and has two or three times brought actions for divorce against her present husband, based on no just ground, needlessly putting him to great and inexcusable expense in paying costs and attorneys fee on both sides. When she had had her husband twice arreBted on the ground of drunkenness when the charges made were not true and her husband was on neither charge convicted; when sho dogs her husband's footsteps into public places and openly and, as the court believes falsely accuses him of talking with lewd women; when she goes to the hotel where he has gone in search of peace and after he has retired forces her way Into his room, and after creating a public uproar compels him to get up and go with her, then she comes Into court in an action for separate maintenance with many presumptions of fact against her. "I have given this case much thought, care, and attention, and have tried to find from the vidence some way whereby I could decide In her favor and award to her some money for maintenance, but I have been unable to do so. "The great mass of the evidence is overwhelmingly against her, and I have been forced to the conclusion that If the good Lord ever created a man with whom the plaintiff could live peaceably and happily, I should like to see him, for certainly he would be the most wonderful phenomenon in the universe. "She has badgered her husband with annoyances, some of them small, but all of thera humiliating to the last degree. ,At the end of it all. I am forced to the conclusion that the defendant was practically driven from home, and that ho was fully justified in leaving it, as life there for him had become not merely difficult, but impossible. After the plaintiff had threatened to shoot him. he was justified in notifying the merchants no longer to extend credit to plaintiff on his account, and after his repeated trials he was justified In packing up his little peronal effects and leaving the plaintiff and in afterward refusing to go back to the sheol he had left." LOOPED THE LEAP. Ml Act Delighted the Audience, but , Enraged the Star. "My tether la bit youth,- said E. R Botbera, "was eoc playing in a romantic drama wherein he made a tremendous leap loap from his lady love's tower to a mattress behind a wooden rock on the stage far below. It was a thrilling leap, and my father no doubt enjoyed the applause it won him. But one night he sprained bia ankle and owed he would leap no more. "So the manager hired a professional acrobat to do the leap made up as my father's counterpart, while my father would slip back under cover of the tower wall and descend to his dressing room by means of a hidden ladder. "The afternoon the acrobat came to the theater to rehearse he made the leap, and then he set up a loud complaint What'a the matter?' asked a youn? member of the company who happened to be In the theater. " Why, aaid the acrobat in a disgusted voice, this here leap Is too tame. If a too easy. A man with glass eyes and cork legs could do It Now, If they'd let me throw two flip-flaps la the sir as 1 came down' MSplendidr cried the young actor. The very thlngf "Ton don't think the boss would snlndr said the acrobat doubtfully. "Mind? Why, man. he'll be tickled to death. Ten to one he'll raise your alary.' "That evening when the great leap acene began my father was gratified to aee the acrobat, a perfect picture of himself, crouching In the shadow of the window. 'Love, good night, good night!" my father cried. Stayr moaned the heroine, and she threw herself on his neck. 'Stay! That leap Is death r 'Nay, nay,, my own; 'tis honor. I leap, tis true, but' there is that within my heart will bear me up thine image, love. And so good night, good night' "He kissed her madly on the brow, tore himself from her clinging arms and rushed across the open space Into the shadow. 'JumpT he hissed to the acrobat between his teeth. "And out. straight out Into the air. Shot the acrobat Twice his lithe shape whirled round like a great flywheel. Then he lit lightly and easily on the topmost point ef the Wooden reck. "Boars of laughter and thunders of applause shook the theater. The acrobat bowed stiffly and strutted off Into the wings with his arms folded. . But the remarks of my poor father on his ladder have not come down to us."-Loolafltobe-Democrat.
THE DREAM
BURBANK ASSAILS FEDERALJXPERTS Plant Wizard Says Agriculture Department Sends Out Useless Trash. San Francisco, Cal., July 20. Charges that experts in the United States Department of Agriculture, through ignorance or worse, are sending out tons of "just as good as Burbank" spineless cactus, which in real ity is "ancient trash such as the build ers of the Pyramids in Egypt might have cultivated," are made by Luther Burbank in a pamphlet he has just published. Burbank fires a. whole broadside of sarcasm and scorn at the government experts and speaks of his own achievements as "the most valuable improvements in vegetable life during the centuries, fully equal in importance to the discovery of a new continent." Assails the Federal Experts. Experts in the government service at Washington are called "low browed. narrow gauged, and pinheaded emnloves. who have to keep shouting to hold their places, and who are largely responsible for the trash free seed and the trash so-called spineless cactus distribution." "Only nine years required to wake up the experts," is the title placed by Burbank over his chapter telling how reluctant the Washington author ities have been to recognize his work. "The existence of the United States department of agriculture has been rightly supposed to be, among otner things, for the purpose of fostering and encouraging improved methods,' writes the plant wizard. Hunt for Spineless Cactus. "That the cause of agriculture and horticulture would receive a lasting benefit by the prompt dismissal of some of the low browed, narrow gauged, pinheaded employes is too well known to need further comment." After telling how he developed seedless and spineless cactus, Burbank says the department experts at Washington at last became ludicrously earnest In their interest in his experiments. "Agents were hurriedly sent in all directions to discover.if possible, come wild or cultivated opuntia (cactus) of agricultural value which was absolutely spineless. All known regions of the earth were literally scoured in this vain effort. No such plant was found, for none existed outside of my own grounds at Santa Rosa." 5 SV 4 DHlG'DrMGllNT

' IS NOT CARED FOR Charge has been filed in the juvenile court that Joseph, the young son of Ella Clark, is not properly cared for and the authorities wish the child be made a ward of the board of children's guardians. Genesis of Life Insurance. Life insurance originated in 1706 In London. In that year there was formed the first life insurance company. It was called the Amicable Society For a Perpetual Assurance Office. It was a mutual benefit concern. Each member, without reference to age, paid a fixed admission fee and a fixed annual charge per share on from one to three shares, and at the end of the year a portion of the fund accumulated was divided among the heirs of those who had died in accordance with the number of shares each dead person had held. Out of this company, with its crude and imperfect methods, life Insurance as it exists today has grown. The total lumber production of the United States in the last thirty years has been more than 900,000,000,000 feet.
COMMITTED SUICIDE
Tragic Death of Mrs. P. Hartman, Logansport. Mrs. Alice Ilartman, wife of Pearl Hartman, a fireman on the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania, formerly of this city, drowned herself on Tuesday evening at Logansport, where the family have resided for several years. The body was found on Wednesday. It is thought that she was temporarily deranged as a result of her delicate condition. Twice early in the evening the husband called a physician. About midnight he left the home to summon him a third time. While he was out his wife slipped from her -bed and must have gone directly to the river. After a search of the neighborhood, the husband and friends, with the assistance of the police, dragged the river and recovered the body. Mrs. Hartman is survived by her husband and three children. She was about to have become a mother again. -Health of the Child. What shall it profit us to educate a child if we wreck his health in doing it?

VICTIM GETC BLAME For Railway Crossing Fatality Wednesday. Though coroner R. J. Pierce has not completed his investigation of the accidental death of J. R. Welch, the traveling salesman who was caught In a cut of cars near Twelfth street on Wednesday morning, his verdict likely will absolve the company from all responsibility and place the blame entirely upon the man himself. The death bed statements of the salesman were to the effect that he realized the danger in attempting to pass between the cut of cars before he started to cross. The man was 28 years old and unmarried. The body was taken to Elsberry, Mo., on Thursday and was accompanied by his brother, Ernon Welch and an uncle, J. C. Welch, of that place. The relatives arrived on Wednesday night in answer to summons Welch sent .from his death bed.
