THE BEGINNING.
About sixty days ago George HnrErove,
the elder, traded with Harvey Spear for
some horses, eight in number, and at the
same time got two horses from FL Spear,
Harvey's son. A lien was retained on
his horses by Harvey Spear, who got
800 in cash, but Edward gave a bill

at Sulphur Springs and came back to
Mount Vernon to insist upon settle

ed to sue him for the balance due 500.
TIararove attempted to run Spear out
of town, aud in quarrel drew a SIX

A DIVORCE GRANTED.

The case Of Sarah Smith vs.. John
R. Smith, Of Eagle Lake, for an alb
solute divorce having been tried be-
fore Judge Severance, the defendant
not appearing, the presiding
judge has granted the petition on the
presentation Of due proof. The
ground for the divorce was based up
on cruel and inhuman treatment.
The complainant alleges that she
was married to the defendant on
March 8, 1878, at the City of Freeport,
H.. that she is Of the age of 81 years
and that the defendant is of the age
of 50 years. She further alleges that
the defendant is an habitual drunk
ard, that the inhuman treatment has
continued over period Of II years:
that at no time during all the married
life had he provided for her or the
children. She further alleges that
in the month of February, 1889, the
defendant without cause or provoca-
tion raised large club which he held
in his hands over her head and
threatened to beat and kill her, and
that at various other times and place S
the defendant called her obscene, vul-
gar and scandalous names in the
presence of their children. The COM
plant further alleges that the de-
PENDANT refused to permit the plain
tiff to attend church or any religious
exercises.
On motion of B. D. Smith, attorney
for the plaintiff. Judge Severance or
iered, adjudged and decreed that the
bonds Of matrimony are absolutely
and perpctually dissolved forever.
It was further ordered that the
plaintiff have the care and custody
of the infant children.

Taken From The Panorama OF Every
Day Life.


The article going the rounds OF the
press that in certain Pennsylvania
mining town the people meet the let
ter carriers on the street and select
their mail from the pouch, reminds us
of unique postoffice at South Salem,
n. y. When Grover Cleveland be-
came President, he turned out post
master Of years experience and az
pointed in his place man who could
not even read his own name When
the stage coach arrived the old fellow
poured the mail matter into several
good size milk pans and told the peo-
pie to select that which belonged to
them. This was too much even for
the Jacksonian Democrats. for in a
short time the Office was removed to
the same store where it had been for
a score of years.
According to the Philadelphia Press
a very pretty little dialogue took place
recently between a father ard daught-
er on the subject Of the garden of
Eden. The story is as follows:
Papa, where was the Garden of
Eden?"
"Well, Maud, it is supposed to have
been somewhere in Asia"
II knew it couldn't have been in
Oregon"
"Who so?"
'Well, you know they say it rains
out there thirteen months in the
year?'
"Yes."
"Well, Adam was made out of dust,
wasn't he?"
Eyes"
Then, if he had been made in Ore
gon, his name wouldn't have been
Adam"
why not?"
because it would have been mud.
-
1t is by no means a new theory that
a man and woman who have been
married a great many years grow
to resemble each other, not only
in manner and voice, but actually,
as to features and expression,
says one of our exchanges:
Quite recently the Photographic as
ISOLATION Of Geneva has been inyesti-
eating the truth Of this theory by the
aid Of the camera. The photographs
of seyenty-eight elderly or very old
married couples were taken, and an
equal number Of family groups. The
result proved quite satisfactory to
holders Of this theory, inasmuch as
in twenty-four cases the resem blance
between husband and wife was much
greater than that between brother
md sister. and in thirty cases more
it was fully as great. The failure Of
the other twenty-four old couples to
realize the expectations of those in
terested in the matter is supposedly
due to ''incompatibility of DISPOSE
ton which time was apparently I'M
able &c combat ia its effects.

day afternoon, when Beaver returned
to his house. be observed that his
wife and children had gone. but it
was only long after he had right to
expect them back that he became TN
easy. He came to town and made in

runawayS nor has his search been sue
cessful up to this writing. A grown
son of Beavers arrived few days
ago from the East and it is reported
that he was instrumental in inducing
his mother to leave Fresno. Beaver
has made every effort to find out
where his family have gone but with
out avail. Even the police are baffied
and the disappearance is most com
plete mystery.
Mr.. Beaver was resident of this
city at one time and lived in Dukes
addition. He had a team Of horses
and followed trucking as a business.
From here he went to farming near
Garden City. He caught the Califor-

home, sold his farm and removed to
Fresno.
