A DEMAND FOR DIVORCES.
W. f. Glenn Asks a Legal Separation from
Nancy &c. C~lem-Some Unique
Petitions.

Sarah Armstrong has begun divorce proceed
ings against Robert Armstrong, alleging con-
tinued abandonment for eight years. They were
married in 1867.
Harriet Mason asks a legal separation from
Robert Mason. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff is a ~washwoman, and that her hus-
band, who is addicted TO the flowing bowl, has
been in the habit of going to her customers and
getting the pay for the work she has done,
under various pretenses, such as that she was
very i'll and needed medicine, and in one in
stance that she was dead and consequently
needed burial. She further alleged that on one
occasion he put some kind of a drug on her head
which caused her hair to fall out.
Charlotte Moore asks for a divorce from her
husband, John 7. Moore. They were married
last Christmas, and sustained matrimonial re-
lations but one short month. According to the
complaint, even in that short time, John
lowered the record in the "bad-husband class"
1t was his habit to come home late at night
drunk and abuse her; he failed to provide ade-
quate support, and habitually associated with
women whose virtue was a thing of the past.
William Frank Glen has begun divorce pro-
ceedings against his wife, the notorious Nancy
E. Glenn, and the allegations made by the COM
plant are as follows:
William F. Glen VS.. Nancy E. Glenn.
Tne said plaintiff, William F. Glenn, complains
OF said defendant, Nancy E. Glen, and says that
Inc plaintiff and defendant were married in or
ABOUT the year 1853, at and In the county of
Marion, State OF Indiana, and have lived to-
eether as husband and wife from that time until
now. Since said marriage, to-wit, about the
18th OF March, 1880, said defendant was, at and
IN SAID county Of Marion, by the judgment of the
Marion Criminal Court, convicted of the imam
GUS crime of peri ury, the said Criminal Court,
tnen and there, having Jurisdiction to adjudge
nef guilty OF said crime. And the said defend
ant has been, ever since said conviction, con-
nned In the "penal department" of the Indiana
Institution for Women and Girls,
under the judgment of said Criminal Court that
she be so confined for the period of four years
from the date of said con %viction, and she vet has
one year to remain in said prison under said con-
victiOn.
The plaintiff further says that he has been a
oona hde resident of the State of Indiana and
the county of Marion, continuously, ever since
1886, and is now a bona fide resident OF said
county. The plaintiff prays a decree granting
him a divorce from said Nancy L. Glen forever,
and for all proper relief.

DR.. Harrison,s Salary.

The publication In an erratic evening paper to
the effect that the phraseology of the Brown
bill gives a salary of $4,000 a year to DIR. Harri
son, the president of the benevolent boards, In.
stead of 81 900, the amount allowed his prede.
cessor, is far more sensational than creditable,
The hasty conclusion was drawn from section l,
of the Brown bill, stating, (Which president
shall be the presiding officer and third trustee Of
each of said boards" while the words of the act
OF 1879 were: 1.-THE president and the two trus
tees of each Of said institutions shall constitute
the board of trustees for the government there

PETTIS, BASSETT & co.
Mr.. Golfers Little Scheme.

Mention has been made in the Journal of Alex
ander Golfers proposition to pay certificate
holders in the Marion Trust Company $5.73 {, in
settlement for their claims, and those who &C.
cept are now receiving drafts for that amount.
1t is said that these drafts are so s~killfully
worded that when the person receiving them
makes the usual Endorsement for payment, he
virtually signs a receipt in full, which is a bar to
further liability on the part of the company.
Many OF the certiicate-holders are so ignorant
of legal processes that they are being caught in
this trap.

Going to Ask for a Receiver.

AS has already been stated, the street-car
Company has turned over to the sheriff five old
cars to be sold for satisfaction of judgments
obtained against them to the amount of 5000 in
damage suits, and that the cars cannot be sold
for half that amount one of the attorneys
against the company in these cases yesterday
stated to a Journal reporter that as they were
making every endeavor TO keep from paying
these judgments, he was about to petition the
court to appoint a receiver for the company.
This will bring matters to a crisis.

Other vexatious questions, however, are likely
to arise which will give no little trouble. The
metropolitan police bill provides that as soon as
the board of commissioners is organized the old
board and the force shall no longer have a legal
existence, and this provision is likely to cause
considerable embarrassment. When the COM
missioners organize it will be fully a month be-
fore the new force can be put in shape, and dur
ing that time there is absolutely no provision
for police protection, The old officers will have
no legal right to make an arrest, and even if
they should continue to discharge their duties,
there is no provision for paying them.

Late Culture.

Just wnen to cease culture with the
various crops of the farm and garden
is a uestion of qeXpediency or neces-
sity. The farmer who gave his corn
field thorough culture in the midst
of therecent dry month, had the pleas
ure of seeing it 90 booming on, while
that unworked, and more especially
when foul has received a setback
which will tell at harvest to one-fourth
to one-half less yield of grain
And so the old-fashion way of grow
ing pumpkins among corn, still kept
up by some, will this year cost ten
times the value of the pumpkins
grown, in the loss of corn from want
of this late culture The same is true
of all the growing crops, which though
apparently able to hold their own
against weeds, yet, would be greatly
benefited by continued culture until
the ripening period. Culture is the
most ready way of prolonging growth.
But some products need ripening at
certain stage of growth or season; such
is the case with EIost nursery stock.
About the first of August we cease to
cultivate, and a month later trees
begin to ripen for winter. Most of
our western nurserymen now let the
weeds grow after this month, 20 check
the growth of the trees, and to hold
the SHOWS of winter. To secure the
same end, and afford a winter mulch
it is often necessary to SOW oats or
buckwheat at this time along the rows
of trees, which the frosts will lay down
for mulch. Bare ground, and dry.
snowless winters are the dread Of
western fruit-growers.

minutes-an this on the last day Of

Experience With a Cyclone.

Rochester Correspondence St. Paul Pioneer
Press,
4. Mr. Williams, who lives across the
Zumbro on the rise beyond the Cole
Mill, was out when the cyclone first
reared its front in the southwest and
saw it coming. To a little boy who
was with him, but whose name he
does not know, he said: That's
cyclone, sonny You come into this
hazel brush with me. Catch on to
the roots and hang on for dear life, "
lie had never heard the word or knew
nothing of Its purport, and instead of
obeying instruction sought refuge in
a hen-coop near by. The man watch
ed the three clouds join, saw the
work of destruction commence in the
southwest, and the ran into the hazel
copse. He found a fence between
hin and the storm, lay down face to
earth and with the crown of his head
against fence post, and grasped the
hazel brush near the roots with both
hands. He kept his senses through
the storm, but with difficulty. The
first gust toyed with him as if he
were whlp-lash, beating him up and
down against the ground and through
the bus hes-but still he chung as for
his life. There was a little dull, and
then as he expressed it, the dern
thing commenced its monkey work
in airnest." A lot of boards from
some far-of clubhouse was blown on
top of him Then his body was torn
from the earth and his hold broken,
while he and the boards We're driven
fifty yards into the copse. A sort of
shelter seems to have been there
afforded, as he escaped without serious
injury, though his abraded face and
swollen hands attest the truth of his
story of the struggle. When the
storm had passed sufficiently to allow
of his walking he started in search Of
the boy. After long search, he
found him and his hen-cUop fully
LOCO feet away and on the other side
of an intervening ravine. The poor
boy was demented and reason had
not yet returned. AS to the man
who first found him, he says to all
Go way, go way you're u sly coon.
