"A Unique Family Lawsuit.


WABASH, Oct. The most unique litigation
ever known here in the history of one family
has just been concluded at Roam, this county.
j. F. Lukens and wife, Alice, were married
about eight years ago. They were we'll known
and respected. Their home was in the north
part of the county About two years ago Alice
went to Colorado to visit sister, remaining
about year. Some time after her return the
neighborhood was startled by her arrest at the
instance of her husband, charged with an at
tempt to shoot him. This grew out of the claim
by him that their baby, which had just died,
was not fathered by him. Mrs Lukens
was given a jury trial and acquitted of
the charge. The pair broke up housekeeping,
and their house was rented by the husband to
John Lowell. After the latter took possession,
Mrs. Lukens appeared and attempted to re-
place some Of her goods in the house. She was
resisted by Lowell, and the lady pointed re-
volver at his head and withdrew For this she
was arrested and tried several counts, but no
case against her could be made. At the last
term Of the Circuit Court she brought suit
against her husband for maintenance. He in
troduced in evidence paper signed by Mrs.
Lukens acknowledging criminal intimacy with
one Robert Watson while in Colorado. The lady

 As o~the attitude of the Russian gov sian government toward the U. s. at inn portant periods of our history Under Catherine, in ourawar of the revolution, it was that of contemptuous ill-will.

About the time of the King James yer sion of the Bible, 1911, Michael Feodoriv- . itch, the earliest of the Romanoff dynasty, became czar of Muscovy, the uncultivated region of barbarous people about Moscow. The male line of the posterity of Ivan Ba- silovitch, the former czars, had redeemed the region from the Tartars. Michael's son Alexis succeeded him in 1645. To. ward the close of his reign his first wife died. According to the fashion of Mus covite rulers, he by proclamation invited all the most beautiful maidens of his realm, irrespective of social condition, to Moscow, that lie might select a fit bride. A lady named Natalie became his czarine, and in 1676 mother of Peter the Great. Alexis left two other sons and daughter. Eco dor had the crown, but lived only few years. On his death-bed he advised-the the boyards (nobbs) to set aside his broth CT Ivan, on account of his bodily infirmi- ties, and crown Peter. His sister Sophia seized the government in the name of Ivan. At IT Peter married. Sophia in haste as- stunned the title of empress, but Peters friends compelled her to retire, and Peter was installed czar. He learned ship building at Saardane, Holland; passed to England to complete his knowledge :; fought with Charles XIf of Sweden; built St. Petersburg 1714 removed thither, as- suming the title of emperor of all the Rus slas; condemned his dissolute son Alexis ? to death died 1725; was succeeded by his second wife Catherine. originally a Llvonlan captive. After three years she was succeeded by Peter IT, son of Alexis.
 The male line of Romanoff became extinct. Anne, duchess of Courland, second daugh- ter of Peters brother, reigned prosperous ly. At her death struggle for the suc- cesssion terminated in the accession of Elizabeth, Peters daughter, who died 1763. Her nephew and heir, Peter III, espoused Catherine, princess of Anhalt, Germany, who quarreled with Peter, raised strong party, and threw him into prison, where he soon died. She fought Turkey and Poland, obtained the Crimea, entered into treaty for the partition of Poland, getting about 8 third, deposing the king of Poland and the duke of Cour- land died 1796.

THE protectionists of the country are organizing for work. It is time. During the period that the public mind has been occupied with more pressing issues Golden clubs have been honeycombing the conn- try, and by systematic effort getting pos session of the colleges. Hundreds of scholars are yearly turned out from our colleges brimfull of the teachings of Profs. Sumner, Perry and other theorists in ''po- litica1 economy" A few years of business life eradicates this nonsense from the heads of such as actually enter active business life. Our business men of experience, as rule, are protectionists. The exceptions are few selfish men who have grown rich through protection, and are willing to burn the bridge over which they have passed. Many of our great newspapers fall into the control of these theorists fresh from college, with what result their readers can readily note. Time was when the editors of note, Greeley, Bennett, Raymond. Thurlow Weed, all the leading ones, in fact, were men who had served their apprenticeship at the case, and risen from the compositor's to the editors place, working their way, and having practical ideas gained by hard knocks with the world. This is changed now, and the change is not an improve ment. We miss the sturdy common sense of the old veterans of the quill, who would have most thoroughly condemned the new fangled ways of the collegian theoretic disciples of David A. Wells and these free trade professors who wish to serve as guide boards to thoroughfare they don't propose themselves to traverse.

A CHAPTER ON ROADS. s.--People who have occasion to travel somewhat generally about the county, and who are inclined to be observing and critical in regard to the manner in which the highways are kept up, say that Coventry has the best roads of any town in this vicinity, and Holland is very near if not the foot of the list. The road from Stafford Springs to Holland Is most complained of by those who use 1t. The trouble begins at the Ellington-Tol- land line. Holland sems to be working it's roads very economically this year, a foolish policy for that town which, above any other in the county, is interested in making good all avenues of approach to the court house. The roads in Ellington are generally commended, and it may be significant that this town has recently adopted the policy of working roads that Coventry has for several years practiced- owning it's teams and tools, and hiring men to supervise the work of laborers hired by the town.
