When a man has so far gone to the bad
with a stiff neck that he can't look at pref
ty girl across the street, and when it grows
worse and worse until he has gone to hang
his head out Of his bed when he sleeps, ask
him if he wears a collar button, and, if he
does, advise him to discard it. A man in
our town, says the Lewiston Journal, has
discovered that the collar stud digging into
the back of the neck paralyzes the brain
forces and makes his head refuse to turn

Nineteen women are on the pension roll
of the Revolutionary war. Twenty-Five
years ago there were seven hundred and
twenty-seyen of them. And if an army,
which was rsekoned by thousands, leaves
nineteen wards to the nations care q hum
bred years after its disbandment, how many
will an army which was counted by the mil
lions leave after the same length of time :
How many rebellion widows will there be
in 1914?
OF all the nineteen welded warriors, the
one who did the most to link himself with
futurity was William Cloud, of Virginia.
When the veteran lay on his deathbed in
the town of st. Paul in the Old Dominion,
in the winter of 1912, he then being ninety
two years old, it was announced to him that
his wife, Nancy, had presented him with a
son. "Call him Washington" said the old
soldier, and half an hour later he had gone
to report this latest namesake of his old
commander to the chief in person.
That boy, Washington, is still living, and
but fifty years old, and Confederate vet
eran.

to the heart by his mother last evening
at Ell Ritom, Mexican plaza about

leaving behind mother and a sweet
heart. George Hallston, when Mar
tinez left, loved the girl and brought
the news that Martinez had been killed
in a fight The girl, however, refused
to marry him.
To make sure that Martinez would
never return he had the news reach
MARTINEZ that his mother was dead and
the girl married. Martinez returned,
however, to find hissweetheart unmar-
ried and his mother alive. He met
HalIston, who persuaded him to visit
mis- mother in disguise. While disguis-
ing himself Hallston ran to the
mothers house and said he would
bring her the slayer of her son and
that she should kill the rascal.
When Rodrigo entered the enraged
old woman bounced upon him and
stabbed him to the heart. A moment
later she found her mistake. Raving
mad she cut her throat Hallston was
set upon by the sweetheart of Martinez,
but escaped

WASHINGTON, March S.-The special
pension investigating committee of the
House convened at II o'clock to-day
and proceeded with it's examination of
witnesses. Assistant Secretary Chand-
Ter, of the Interior department, told
of his connection with the resignation
of young Raum. He said he had
never received charges about young
Raum receiving money for illegal trans
actions. Mr.. Enloe asked witness if he
knew of any one in the pension office
who was interested in the refrigerating
company. Judge Chandler said that
all he knew in regard to the matter
was what he read in the newspapers.
He never knew Of any one, nor did he
have any conversation with General

Representative Springer's Physicians
Say That He is Very Much
Better.
1t viii be Six Weeks, However, Be-
fore He Will be
Around.
And Three Months May EIapse Be
fore He Resumes His Congress
siOnal Duties.

WASHING TON, March 8.-Mr. Springer
said this noon, after the daily consulta-
ton with Drs. Curtis and Verdi: Our
patient is better to-day than at any
time since his sickness began. If he
holds his present position until to-
morrow he will be on the
high road to recovery. He slept
much bS ter last night, his
pulse and temperature are nearly
normal, the swelling has gone down a
great deal, his mind is clear and his
coma has entirely disappeared. Should
he have no further relapse he will be
out and around in about six weeks. 1t
will, however, bepossibly three months
before he can resume his labors with
his old-time impetuosity."
The tariff debate will then probably
be a thing of the past, but Mr.. Springer
will have the credit of OUTLYING the
fight, and that, together with recov-
cred health, will under the circum-
stances doubtless be sufficient to satisfy
even his desires. This practically means
the end of Mr.. Springers chairman
ship of the Ways and Means COM
mittee, as DIR. Vincent will insist that
his patient go to Fortress Monroe for
four or five weeks after he RECEIVERS
sufficiently. According to this program
all the important legislation of this
session will be disposed of before Mr..
Springer can resume his duties.

rest Mr.. Blaine will be all right in
few days. The doctor said to-day that
he thought it was influenza rather than
the grip that allied the secretary. Sec
rotary ElI1ins called at the house to
see the secretary, but despite their

HEARD IN A HOTEL.
Charge that a Divorce was Obtained by
Stealth.

ELDORA, Iowa. March 8.-A motion to
have the decree Of divorce obtained by
E. S. Ellsworth, Of Iowa Falls, from his
wife, December last, set aside, came on
for hearing this morning. The original
case went by default as to
Mrs. Ellsworth, she not appearing,
being In Colorado at the time of the pro-
ceeding8 and the decree was granted,
cutting off the defendant from future
claims to her share in her husband
property and giving the latter the custody
Of their two children.
The defendant In her petition sets forth
that her husband and his attorney visited
her November 16, and by coercion, in
timidatiOn and misrepresentation obtained
her signature to paper which proved to
be the original notice IN his original
action for divorce; that she and her hus-
band continued 70 co-habit after such
original notice was signed until Novem-
Der q; on the latter date the plaintiff
left defendant to go to Colorado SO he
might produce the fraudulent divorce;
that she was taken sick in Colorado and
was unable to return to Iowa until Janu-
airy and had no notice Of the divorce
proceedings and could not have returned
had she been notified.
She alleges that she was cut off with only
about $500, that she is in i'll heath and
that the plaintiff is worth at least half
million, most of which was accumulated
since their marriage. The petit
ton also alleges that the
case was not heard in open court, but the
evidence which was in the shape of Ger
ti6cate was acted upon by the judge in
his room at a hotel
The plaintiff files an answer denying
the allegations, saying the defendant
signed the original notice knowing what
it contained and what she was doing;
sets forth the receipt of letter from de-
fendant expressive of entire satisfaction
with the settlement.
Attorney Maggie, for the plaintiff, began
his gument this evening and had not
concluded when court adjourned until TO-
