Divorced three years without knowing itl
such has been the experience o Mrs. Willie
a. RousCc, quiet and refined lady who is
employed In the government printing ofcc.
ABOUT live years ago Samuel l.. Rousoc her
husband, who had been employed in tho
government printing Office as compositor
informed her that he was going to Omaha to
get work. Mrs. Rouscc prepared him for
the journey and the goodhys wore fearful
and rnectionatc. The couple regularly cor
responded with each other and some time
after the husband had settled in Omaha tho
eldest child, now young man about 81
years old, went out TO pay him visit Time
wore on and Mrs. Rouscc was ever expect
ing her husband to return to her in spite Of
almost cessation of correspondence
Some time since she concluded TO institute
inquiries regarding him and was shocked 10
learn that in January, 1890 Rousee had So
cured divorce from her on the ground OF
dcscrtion.
Had No Recourse.
She immediately placed the matter in the
hands of the lawyer, Mr., A. II. Bell, who
began an Investigation that was shortly ter
minated 10y his receipt of a certified copy of
the decree of divorce from Frank Moores,
clerk of the court in Omaha Subsequent

No. |.
This evenings News says Of it: "Mrs.
ROuscc Will take no steps to havC the decree
set aside, as she believes it would be useless
and her circumstances are such that she
could not bear the expense. 1t is stated that
she never had any notification of the institu-
tion of proceedings and that she knew moth
ing whatever about them until three years
after they had been concluded She has
three children, of whom Rousec is the father,
two boys and n girl, the latter being the
youngest and about IL years of age
"A lawyer said today that the Nebraska
law was very lax in relation to divorces and
the only notification required to be served
upon defendant was publication in
paper published in the county wherc the
suit was instituted. Mrs Rouscc has the
sympathy of large circle of friends who es
teen her for her many admirable qualities"
