oient Grounds For Divorce.

oient Grounds For Divorce.
Judge Pease this forenoon heard testi-
mony In the divorce case of Elmer Stans-
berry against Phoebe, StapNberry. The
couple we're married by Justice Wettach,
November %, 1890, and Elmer claimed be
was forced into the marriage through fear
of being arrested as putative father.
The pair we're married but no children
have been born to them, hence Elmer
thought he had been imposed upon. In
the answer In the case, Phoebe alleged
that they were intimate before marriage
but II was on promise Of marriage that
such intimacy existed. She further stated
that Elmer bad not treated her well and
had neglected her. She therefore asked
for reasonable alimony.
After hearing the evidence in the case
Judge Pease refused to grant the divorce
as not sufficient evidence had been pro-
duced by the plaintiff. The plaintiff was
however, given an opportunity to produce
further evidence.

fatally shot E. H. Wishart yesterday.
Wishart was hit by four bullets, and a
crowd of 500 people gathered at the city
hall when Pierce was placed in Jail.
For three years Pierce was the leader OF
the notorious Des Moines searchers. He
has shot several persons in this city and
on three occasions mobs have been or.
ganized to lynch him. Much excite
ment prevailed when he was arrested,
and cries of "bring rope, and "lynch

policemen were necessary to escort him
to the Jail. All is quiet now, but the
feeling is so strong against Pierce that

is privately acknowledged by other manufac-

If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place Of the Royal" it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the

THE SOLID SOUTH SOLID NO
LONGER

Iowa State Register: Congressman
Oates, of Alabama, in a recent inter
view stated that the danger of the SOL
id south being broken up was much
greater than most people had been led
TO suspect. The democratic papers of
the south acknowledge that there is
danger of break up and they are fear
ing that the farmers alliance will be
the principal cause"
Well, this will be news to Kansas.
The above was clipped from the Tope-
ka Capital, paper which has declared
all along that the south would remain
solidly democratic, and the alliance
was only intended to weaken the re-
publican party in the north. 1t does
begin to look as if the G. o. p. papers
cannot say anything against the alli-
ance without contradicting their own
past records. Republicans ought to
help the alliance in the sou tn, and they
are doing so. Democrats ought to help
the alliance in the north, and they are
doing so. The peoples party will soon
be the only national party. The others
will be sectional side-shows.

reporter of local paper, who was sent
to Investigate the reports that the grass
hOppers were swarming in the eastern
part of Colorado, telegraphed his paper
today that there had been no exaggera-
ton of the facts. The grasshoppers
are swarming in innumerable numbers
over section of the eastern part of
the state and destroying every green
thing above ground. They cover an
area about 460 square miles, with b.
VIVA as its center. The trains passing
through that section are seriously de-
layed every night by the grasshoppers,
which swarm upon the rails after the
sun has gone down and the air cools off.
AS the engine passes over them they
are mashed into a greasy substance
which causes the driving wheels to
slip upon the track. The grasshoppers
are of the small, wlngless kind. Next
year they will have developed into the
winged variety, and then there will be
q return of the plague of 1874 and 1875.

by the solid aid of the democracy, the

not asked any man about his past polit-
