HieWife ! Consummatc Liar,

William Truesdaie of Beatrice, Neb.,
has secured in the Circuit Court of that
town an absolute divorce on the novel
ground that his wife, Amelia, is an incor-
rigible liar. He says that during their
three years of married life his wife has
told at least 10000 lies. In his petition
for divorce he says: "She cannot tell the
truth, and while it is in the nature of a
disease believe it is incurable."
Here are few of the yarns told by his
wife which Trucsdale cities in his petit
ton, fled in the court: She told him that
his mother had just been found dead in
bed, murdered by unknown persons; that
their nearest neighbor and his best friend
had attempted criminal assault upon
her; that SHE had received aletter from q
lawyer in her old home, telling her she
HAD inherited q fortune and to send him
$50 st once (she spent the money for .
new dress); that her little son had fallen
in the we'll and broken his leg Che was
asleep in the crib>; that their minister
had eloped with servant girl, leaving
his wife and Ave chirdren destitute, which
story, when repeated BY him was the
means Of costing him 500 and deal Of
trouble to keep from being convicted Of
criminal libel,
"Ibere was = long string Of equally in
teresting fables fiied in Mr.. 4ruesdales
petition, and the court considered he had
good grounds for securing the divorce be

An Honest Nevada Delegate.

In Nevada several years ago an Esmer-
aida delegate tall, long bearded vener-
abe man, wearing spectacles and an air of
Responsibility such as is seldom acquired
in the sage brush walked up 10 the desk
of the chairman of the state convention
and created tremendous sensation, says
the San Francisco Examiner. The fight
for the gubernatorial nomination was hot
and close, and as both the aspirants were
wealthy, doodle was in the air, and else
where.
"Sir," said the Esmeralda delegate,
with stern .solemnity, slapping fifteen
$40 peices on the table, ~ want you 10
take charge of this yer COIN That ere
money was give to me last night to cast
my vote for Gin'ral Smith for gov'nor."
Half the convention involuntarily
thrust its hand in its pocket and then all
Of it rose as one man and yelled like
beasts of prey about to be bereit Of beef
that had just been tossed into their cages
by their keepers. E66A4s
"Name! Name! Who was it9 Liar!
Sneak! Traitor! Fire him out! He's an
enemy to home industry! Kill him!"
"What do you mean, sir7' gasped the
chairman, absent mindedly pocketing the
coin. "Do you stand there before this
convention and assert that General Smith
gave you this money to vote for him2''
mo, DON'T" answered the purist from
Esmeralda, glaring back, undaunted at
the sea of furious faces.
ibid anyone known to you to be Gen.
eral Smiths agent or friend, give it to
you2" itlI
SWELL that's neither here nor there, and
I don't allow its none Of your business,
nohow. I've give you the money, hain't
II That's square, amt it2"
"But why do you come here with this
money and make such statement to this
cenvention2"
because I'm an honest man, sir!" ex-
claimed the upright and old pioneer, his
eyes blazing and his face illumined bv a
glow Of high enthusiasm that awed the
turbulent mob into silence. II can do
better on the other side! They've bid
FIVE hundred!
Cheer upon cheer went up and shook
the hall. Men crowded round the old
man, wrung his hand and slapped him
on the back.
THANK Cod said the chairman, III a
voice choked with emotion, s'true man
hood still permeates the grand old party
in the battle born state. And yet they

ficult matter, especially in the case Of .
duel With firing at command. However
much principal may object to such pre-
cautions be hes to submit, - the entire
responsibility of his affair rests with his
friends, and be can hardly object to their
protecting themselves as much IS possible.
It is always amusing to watch duelist
preparing for the encounter in shooting
gallery. l was present few days in
gallery on the boulevardde de Strasbourg
and cav man use couple of boxes Of
cartridges firing at mannikin. The boss
of the show who looked the picture of
peacefulness and bonhomie, gave him the
command:
fare you ready? Fire, one, two, three,
and for each shot manifested most holy
joy and exultation each time that his
customer made hit.
"That'll cure him of the toothache. He
won't have the bellyache any more. Right
in the heart. That'n teach him to sit up
One in the ear hole. Good his food
won't cost him anything after that"
Such we're some of the remarks to
which this bloodthirsty old gentleman
gave vent, according to the results ofithe
shots. Itwas he, by the way, who coached
Trubert for his fatal duel with Dupia.
A duel in Paris is always an expensive
affair and ell charges rest Of course with
the principals. A pistol duel cant be
done much under 500. including hire of
pistols, hire of two horse carriage, doc
tors fee. coachman's tip and refresh
ments. 8 w @s
Asword duel costs less, because swords
can be had for S. the pair. After the
duel the principal must invite his seconds
and the doctor to dinner or lunch, accord
ing to the hour and give them the best
spread he can afford. Altogether, a duel
may be said to cost about $50, all includ-
ed. don't think it dear at the price.
1t is grand fun, and affords splendid ex-
citement. Of course, if you get badly
wounded that is another matter Robert

The weapons are usually hired from
one of the big gunsmiths of Paris, who
keep sets of dueling pistols in stock for
this purpose. 1t is against all etiquette
for man to bring his own pistols, the
rule being that he never has had the wea-
pom with which he fights in his hands be-
fore the moment of the encounter, The
gunsmiths make you pay heavily for the
hire OF the weapons. At the principal
shops the seconds have to deposit $50 on
fetching case. On returning the wea-
pons in good order $40 are refunded
Elsewhere pistols can be hired at lover
rate, but the charge is always very high

o ond raise $500 more when they
f~,,ro there would be a far better
Pence for them to succeed In the ven
tire Bv good luck and the very
Strictest the other $500 IS
saved and his bank book now calls for
Al 900. Mr.. Holdhard still owns the
lot. During the five years other lots
have been built upon in the same To-
cality, the to En has increased from
3 600 to 5000, but Mr.. Plumber and his
wife still desire to own the same lot
and he goes to the house of Mr.. Hold,
hard with the intention of buying it.
With his $1,000 he feels far more
buoyant than before, although he is
five years older; he steps with a light
foot and a merry heart, but when he is
told by Mr.. Holdhard that the lot is
now worth $1,000; that the town is
growing fast; that lots r booming;
that he has other lots that he will sell
for $500 but they are back and a long
distance from his work, Mr.. Plumbers
heart gets as heavy as the lead he daily
handles, for with their savings for the
past five years he is just as far from
his object as at first. He n his wife
came to the conclusion that their only
chance to secure the lot was to pay the
price anu dSSuLl0 d u0OG VI P1iOOO LII "
house. Now we ask, for who have
they deprived themselves of many
necessities, comforts and pleasures
during the five or more years in order
to get the lot? Certainly not for their
w benefit but solely for the benefit
of Mr.. Holdhard, who did not do a
single thing to increase it's value, but
had he been taxed for the full rental
value he would have been forced to
sell it to Mr.. Plumber at a reasonable
price. The increased value which the
lot acquired through the growth, enter
prise and thrift of the community just
~ belonged to the community that
created it. But the evils of the present
system of taxation do not end here.
After Mr.. Plumber had built his house
the lot was rated as improved property
and both house and let were assessed
at rs per cent. Of their value while
other lots in the same locality owned
by Mr.. HOldhard were rated as unlm-
proved and were only assessed at 40
per cent. Thus the present unjust
system furnishes those who add their
mite to improve the towns in which
they live, and rewards the land specu-
lator for withholding land out of use,
and aids him to extort the last dollar
out Of the peoples dire necessities.

RE SOLUTIONS.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The following pre-
amble and resolutions wer adopted at
a meeting of Southend Sub Alliance,
held at Atkinson, Wayne county, Ga.
on the June 25, 1892:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the AL
mighty Ruler of the universe to send a
great affection upon a suffering people
in the death of our beloved brother and
guiding spirit, Leonidas L. Polk, late
President of the National Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union; and
whereas, just at this time it seemed
that the success of the great reform
movement depended largely upon the
wisdom, courage and fidelity of this
great and good man. Therefore be it
ReSOLUed, In this sore trial that we
bow IN humble submission to the Di-
vine will, believing that the Judge
of all the earth will do right"
2. That in the death of President
Polk the laboring people of the United
States have lost a faithful friend, wise
counsellor and a tried leader, whose
consummate skill, dauntless courage
and incorruptible fidelity gave promise
of ultimate success in the great work
of reform which he had undertaken
and to the accomplishment of which he
willingly sacrificed everything, even
life itself.
3. That we will cherish his memory,
teaching our children the lessons we
heard fall from his 'silvery tongue"
while listening to the strains of his
overpowering eloquence, tears and
smiles alternately bearing witness to
i s irresistible pathOs.
4. That henceforth his name shall be
our watchword and reply, as we take
the places assigned us in the onward
march of the grand army he was lead
i.g to victory. And as from the mast
head Of his flagship, the renowned Mel
unfurled his last battle order, in
words that thrilled every soul in that
great fat England erpects eVerg 0
to do has duty," SO with slight verbal
change we will inscribe on our banners,
sour country expects every man to do
his duty"
5. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of President Polk
with the assurance of our heartfelt
in their sore bereavement,
Also a copy each to the Southern AUi-
nnce Farmer, The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER, Peoples Party Paper and Ma
Waterman with request to pub.
