How THEY DO Times IL lNDIANA.-India-
ma is celebrated for the few obstacles placed
there, in the way ofdivorcing unhappy wives
aud husbands. The following is said To be IL
real incident:
A few months ago Il wealthy and promi-
nent citizen Of kansas-an Office holder
had a wife. to whom he seemed much devoted.
Her hcalth was feeble, and prevented by the
demands Of his business from accompanying
herr he sent her to ii puthern city to recruit.
le received from her frequent and affection
ate letters, dated at that city and he in
tended. as soon ~ his affairs would permit. Ia
join here there. But recently while on a
trip to st. Louis, a. he was sitting for a few
id!c moments in the parlor OF his hotel, he
picked up an obscure country newspaper
published in an interior town of Indiana
CHANGING l~istlesSlv over the advertisements.
me. which caught his attention, rise ct
ed his eye to the paper. 1t WIS Il legal
notification to him that his wife had applied
for divorce, and that the case would be tried
on the following day, in the county where
the paper was published. He was ,hun-
dcrstruck. The train flashed upon him at
once. His wife. while dating her letters
from "A Southern city spoken Of. and employ
inn some one to mail them there, had been all
the time in Indiana-l,ng enough to claim a
residence under the peculiar matrimonial
laws Of that State, (which, believe, have
since been modified by the Legislature
As usual, in such cases, she had nuti-
fed him by publication, relying on the
obscurity and limited circulation of the
country paper as IL guarantee that it would
not come within his notice, and expected
Ia get a divorce even before biz suspicious
were aroused. The half distracted husband
rushed upon a train Of ears iust leaving for
the East. Arriving at Il i~unrtion in In
diana where no train would enable him 10
reach the county seat ~ the hour set apart
for TIE trial, he chartered Il special locomo-
tive. proceeded there at once. confronted his
guilty partner, aad put a stop to the pro-
