Wife Alleges Cruelty in Suit for Divorce.
Rosa Brooks, through her attorney G. A- Williams, has filed suit for divorce from her husband, Henry Brooks, and in the complaint she alleges cruel and inhuman treatment, says that the defendant cursed and abused her, accused her without grounds with having associated with other men and ordered her to leave bis home and return to her own parents. She alleges that about a week before the action was brought for divorce he beat and struck her and caused her to be so sick that she was confined to her bed for four days. She further alleges that he refused to buy fueTfor the home and that herself and daughter were not properly clothed, but that she had to sew for other people to make money for their subsistence. The complaint states that they were married in 1895, and that the defendant is now 30 years of age, which would have made him only 16 at the time of their marriage. She says that he is strong and able to work although possessed of no means. She asks the custody of their 11 year old child, and asks that the defendant be ordered to pay into the court for her support the sum of S2OO annually. Royal Fiour, the best. Home Grocery.

M. L. Hemphill, who for many years has been engaged in the blacksmithing business here, has arranged to take his son Jim, now living at Goodland, into partnership with him, and has made several changes in the business preparatory to the partnership. Ed Reeve, one of the blacksmiths, who has been in the business in Rensselaer for about 30 years, was let out Saturday and it is understood will start into business for himself. William Foster was also let out and left Saturday night for his home at Rossville, where his wife is engaged in the millinery business. Ray Ward, of Monticello, arrived here Saturday and went to work in the place of Foster. Jim Hemphill will move back from Goodland and is expected to arrive either Tuesday or Wednesday.
For the Trade of 1908.
I expect to exhibit the best line of buggies that ever came to the city of Rensselaer. I have bought three car loads at this writing and if the trade is as good as last season (and I think it will be better) I will need another car or two. I have the agency for nothing but FIRST CLASS FIRM’S GOODS. The latest styles of auto seats and of other designs of high class, all work made up by expert workmen and no job is misrepresented; nothing but a guaranteed work is bought or sold. The best goods that can be bought is none too good. The good class of work is the winner in the long run. With this fine line of buggies and carriages I have the farm wagon that has a reputation behind it, the Studebaker, South Bend, Ind. Some one is advertising they are building wagons out of white oak and hickory. Why, this is an everyday occurrence with Studebakers for the last fifty years and still at it. The world’s best mower and binder, the McCormick, also the McCormick hay rake; they have double coil teeth which makes them more than as good again as the single coil. For a manure spreader the Success is the world’s best It regulates the number of loads you wish to put on an acre. I have other articles for sale. Clover Leaf stock tonic and poultry tonic. Guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. Extras for all machines I sell. On Front street, north of the Postoffice and just across the street from King’s blacksipith shop. C. A. ROBERTS, Rensselaer, Ind.
KNIMAN.
Otto Schwanke of DeMotte spent Sunday with Miss Ruth Kramer. Chester Besse of Remington spent Sunday with Miss Ellen O'Connor. Schools closed here last Friday. A pie social was given last Wednesday for the benefit of the Lutheran church. Mrs. Kramer entertained about sixteen couples at her home in honor of her daughter Ruth's birthday. The evening was spent in games, music and dancing and a bountiful repast was served at midnight. There will be a'dance In Meyers’ Hall Saturday, April 10th. Everyone is invited to attend. Miss Pearl Armstrong of Zadoc spent Sunday with Miss Ethel Pees. John O'Connor and daughter Loretta were in Wheatfield on business Wednesday. Miss Zoboroskl of Morocco is spending the week with Miss Ruby Davis. A big fire in the marsh destroyed about twelve stacks of hay and burned the fields all over. It is not known how the fire started. Melva Barker called on a Kniman young lady Sunday afternoon and took her out driving, and we learn since he had a date at Zadoc for the same evening. That sure is going soma; ditch one girl and then go straight to the other girl's home. Gaylord Brown and Frank Touts spent Sunday evening out south of town. I wonder why they don't get town girls, but they were all busy.) Make your dates earlier in the week, boys, before the out of town boys beat you to It Itching piles provoke profanity, but profanity won’t cure them. Doan’s Ointment cures itching, bleeding or protruding piles after years of suffering. At any drug store. .

Hemenway Declines Post.
Former Senator James A. Hemenway of Indiana has been tendered by President Taft the position of United States minister to China, but Mr. Hemenway yesterday decided not to accept. The place pays $17,500 a year, and was formerly held by Charles Denby, an Indiana man. Mr. Hemenway at present is employed by the appropriations committee on the task of trying to find certain revenue leaks. He receives the same salary as he did while senator.
Affects Hitchrack War.
Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, gave out an interesting statement on Bloomington, Ind., and its conditions Tuesday that may lead to the settlement of the much-mooted hitchrack question in that city. According to Dr. Hurty, the new health law says It is unlawful to maintain any conditions which may, in any way, transmit disease. He said he wrote the law and had the Bloomington hitchrack in mind when it was prepared. According to this new law, Dr. Hurty says, the health officer may arrest the county commissioners if they try to replace the hitchrack this faH. Not even an injunction suit is necessary to stop it, he says.
