AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
Mrs. Charlotte Lockerby Makes
Serious Charges Against Her Hus-
band and Asks for a Divorce.

Mrs. Charlotte Lockerby Makes
Serious Charges Against Her Hus-
band and Asks for Divorce.
In another column will be noticed
case entitled Charlotte Lockerby vs..
Samuel Nj. Lockerby. 1t is suit for a
divorce and was begun last winter.
Miss Charlotte Presley, daughter of j..
A. Presley, of this city, mai ried the de-
PENDENT, who is the youngest son of M.
l.. Lockerby, of this city, on April 18th,
1856. The ceremony took place at the
residence of. the brides parents and
was quite social event at the time.
Both parties were well known in this
city, both having grown up here, 80 to
speak. Miss Presley was charming,
thoroughly respectable young lady.
Mr.. Lockerby represented himself as
being well-to-do lawyer of Minor,
OAK, where he has been living for some
time previously. The plaintiff sets
fourth in her complaint that when she
accompanied her husband to Minor she
found that instead of owning fine resi-
dence and having the excellent practice
and being the prominent man that he
had represented, he had no house
and was, IN plain English, a mere loafer,
gambler and saloon-hanger-on. He
spent ali of his own money gambling
and then used up all of hers in the same
way. She was obliged to board at a
hotel and was left there bv herself while
Mr.. Lockerby spent his time in saloons
playing cards and gambling. After she
had remained there a month she fell
sick with a fever, brought on by the
conduct of her husband, and did not re-
cover for two months. Having no one
to take care of her she sent for his sister
who came and nursed her. She was
obliged to pay her own and her sisters
board. From this sickness the plaintiff
alleges that she has never quite recover
ed and is still dependant upon her
parents for her support. At no time
since the marriage has this model hus-
band provided food and clothing for
his wife. Not only are the above charg-
es true, says Mrs. Lockerby, but her
husband has been guilty of very cruel
and inhuman treatment to her. Unable
to bear up under all this trouble she left
him just three months after their mar
riage and has since resided with her
parents. She asks the court to grant
her divorce and to allow her to take
her maiden name.
The above complaint was served on
young Lockerby while he was serving
term in Jail, in some Dakota town, for
grave offense. He has put IN an an
swer denying most of the charges, but il
Is not expected that he will put in an ap.
pearance at the trial. He does not en-
Joy very savory reputation either in
this city or in Dakota. It is reported
that some of his methods of business
will hardly bear the light of day.
Though he was once quite prominent in
certain social circles of this city, the
sympathy of everyone is with the wife
who tells such sad tale of suffering, the
details of which it would be almost i'm
possible to believe were not the charact-
er of both parties 80 well known. Free.

spectfully request that your honorable
body will provide as petitioned for, and

A Dream of Fair Women.

Tennyson in his exquisite poem,
dreams of long procession of lovely wO-
men of ages past. This is all very well,
but the laureate would have done the
world greater service if he had only
told the women of the present how they
could improve their health and enhance
their charms. This he might easily have
done by recommending the use of DIR.
Plerce's Favorite Prescription. Health
Is the best friend of beauty, and the in
Vulnerable ills to which women are
peculiarly subject, its worst enemies.
Long experience has proven that the
health of womankind and the "FavOrite
Prescription" walk hand in hand, and
are inseparable. 1t is the only medicine
for women, sold by druggists, under a
positiUe guarantee from the manufacturers,
that 1t will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be refunded. This
guarantee has been printed on the bot
tle-wrapper. and faithfully carried out
for MANY wears.

THE ME-. CHURCH AND WOMEN.

To The Editor:
The press and public seem to misap-
prehena the question now being dis
cussed by the general conference of the
M. T.. church relating to the admission
of women. 1t is not question of senti-
ment for or against their ADHESION but
of ld,D. Is there nOao law admitting
them or must one be endcted2 This is
the question and upon it the wiseacres
differ. Some believe the law we now
have admitting Iayne'a to the conference
is elastic enough to admit women also.
Others believe the word 'tlaymen" adj
mits men only. The fight is on the
technical meaning of the word claw
men," and that depends on what was in
the mind of the conference enacting the
law. That women should and will be
admitted to seats III the highest and
only Legislative body of the church We
think is the feeling of nine-tenths of
those there and participating in the dis
custom. But many, and perhaps ma
jority, want them to come in an orderly
and legalized way.

Germany's Outlook.

It is not a bright and inspiring
prospect which is before the German
Empire. Ii was q deep shadow
which was cast upon the land when
the clear headed old Emperor pass
ed away. and there is nothing IN
sight which suggests the removal OF
that shadow. The present Emper-
or's life is a matter of few months
at most, while his death is liable If
not likely to occur At any moment.
lie is speechless and feeble, and day
and night is under the watchfal
eyes of an attendant physician who
dare net leave him lest death should
suddenly do its work. So desper-
ate is the case of Frederick that his
i'll favored son has been made vir-
tual regent, and charged with the
rulership of the nation. The young
man William, who in the course OF
brief time will be Emperor, is rep
resented as being weak, vindictive,
stubborn and dangerous, and with
al ambitious for war with somebody
he little cares whom. He inherits
his dislike of the French from his
father and grandfather, but he also
hates the English with equal inten-
sity. his animosity including his
own mother, who it is said, be
would, if it were in his power, drive
from the empire. His mental con-
stitution is more deformed than his
ugly and misshapen body, and it
will be strange if when he shall
come into full power, ne does not
do something which will bring him
and his empire to trouble and grief.
Bismarck, who has done more than
all others to make Germany great
is feeble old man. losing his ener-
gy and ambition, suffering from
disease and age, incapable of exer-
cising his Influence for good as
when his fast friend, the dead En-
peror, was here, and swiftly follow
ing his loved master to the grave.
1t is doubted that the year will
end with Bismarck on earth. With
Wilhelm gone, with Frederick gone,
with Bismarck gone, with William
absolute monarch, it will be mir
acle if the grand German Empire
docs not go to decay, feared and
hated as it is by the other great
powers of earth, and troubled as it
is with internal discussions and
popular discomfort. There are
dark clouds hanging over Germany.
