II DiUOrce Suit.

In the district court yesterday papers
were filed in an action for divorce on the
ground of adultery by Sarah j. Shauer
against Peter R. Shauer, her husband, both
of this city. The plaintiff alleges that
they were married in Iowa in January,
1881; that she is now twenty seven years
of age and her husband ten years her SEN
Tor; that they removed to this city eleven
months ago and have resided here since;
that in the month of January of the pres
ent year, while plaintiff was confined to
her bed by reason of the birth of their
child, Ora, her husband committed adult
cry with Louisa Jones, plaintiffs sister,
aged thirteen years. She further shows
that she is wholly destitute and in delicate
health and unable to work to earn liveli-
hood for herself and child. The defendant,
Peter, is half owner of a saloon and its
contents to the value of $500, and she de-
mands that he be compelled to contribute
sufficient to board her and child during the
tendency of this action; that she believes
he will leave the city upon ascertaining
that this suit has been entered, and prays
the court to restrain him from doing So
For the foregoing reasons she prays for a
dissolution of the marriage tie and for
such other relief as the court may see fit
and proper to grant.

Sensible Recommendations.

BELLEvILLE, ILL.,, May 3O.-The commit
tee appointed by the Belleville board of
trade to consider the relations existing be-
tween miners and mine owners in that dis
trlct, and see what can be done toward set
thing present difficulties, have made a 1e.
port III which they recommend that all the
railroad companies carrying coal to St.
Louis furnish a copy of weight of coal
produced by hand working mines, TO Chas.
NesoIt, president of miners union on the
9th and Goth day of each month, and that
Nesbit furnish copy of the same to each
mine, that uniform seven eighth screen
be established at all hand working mines
and that the owners of machine mines be
allowed to operate them without any differ
ence IN regulations governing hand min
ing. The committee also recommend the
state Legislature to provide for commit
tee OF arbitration, to whom all difficulties
between operators and miners shall be
submitted and whose decisions shall be
hnal. These recommendations ere simply
what the miners are contending for.
Whether the mine owners will agree to the
terms suggested is not known, but it is quite
likely some action looking to settlement
OF the troubles and the resumption Of work
Will be taken within few days.

Base Bail.

There is moro than the usual interest
taken this season in base ball, there being
several mines formed that have more than
the average ability and before the season
is over will MISUNDERSTANDING out good
amount of latent talent. Beside the
games between the several college mines
there has been played some interesting
ones between the Brown Stockings, Red
Caps and Ivies.
The Red Gaps were organized especially
to defeat the Browns, professional nine,
and the Ivies have had several hard fought
contests with them to determine who
should have this honor, THE last one was
played on their grounds on tie corner of
Seventeenth and Sixth avenues south on
last Tuesday. The game was fine one
and resulted in the victory Of the Ivies, the
score standing to 8, live ball. The
Browns and Ivies have game Friday on
the same grounds, at which time the
Browns will play their full
nine for the first time. after
which Manager Bennett will organize as
professional nine. Most of the members are
Minneapolis boys, but all have good rec
ords,. The game as played this year is
somewhat different than last years league

can deliver the ball anywhere below the
shoulder. The old rule being that it must
be delivered below the hip. Another point
is that the value of the
ball is determined by where it
finally stops; that is, if a foul strikes out
and rolls inside the diamond, it is fair
bail and vice versa. This makes the ad-
vantages of the striker much greater, as he
can by practice, hit the ball either on the
top or bottom, and the english thus OBJ
tanned will send it inside the plate, giving
him much better chance to gain first
base. Manager Bennett has received several
letters from Spaulding, of Chicago, in
which there were propositions to extend
the limits of the Northwestern league SO as
to embrace Minneapolis, st. Paul and
several others OF the northwestern towns.

SGri33g a Husbands Life.
Cape Ann Mass. Advertiser.

Last Saturday afternoon a young man
IN this city, who occasionally gets under
the influence of intoxicants, told his wife
that he intended visiting the dentist and
have some teeth extracted. Not returning
at the time anticipated, fearing that he
might have poured too large quantity
OF spirits down to keep his spirits up dur
ing the trying ordeal of tooth-pulling, she
went in search of him, passing down the
railroad track near the Blue bridge. Here
she saw in the dim lighta man lying di-
rectly across the track. Not paying par
tIcuIar attention, and fearful of being mo-
Tested If she troubled him, she walked on.
just then the whistle of the train at West
Gloucester was heard, and knowing that if
the man was not instantly removed from
his perilous position he would certainly be
killed, she oyercame her fears of being
molested and Immediately went to the res
cue. She was obliged to roll him over by
main strength and succeeded in getting
him into the water-course alongside the
track, and had just time to get into safe
position herself when the train went thun-
dering by. Upon further examination of
the man imagine her surprise upon finding
him to be her hus band.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 3O.-Owing to cool
weather, vegetables, fruits, strawberries
and other articles of like nature are quite
inactive, the price of strawberries having
fallen 25c per crate. With the exception
of dairy, butter is in slight demand, owing

Eggs are 1919 for 5@6 case lots and 16c

horses went pretty well until they turned
corner and came upon the goat and
wagon of the man who wants nickel be-
cause he can't walk. At this unexpected
sight the horses reared, plunged, kicked,
snorted, and almost shed their harness
When they were quieted there was dead
silence for moment. Then the horseman
with the air of one who knows it is no use
to talk said: "rll tell you what it is, mai
or; thatCgoat has busted up more horse
