This is a suit by the wife against the husband
for separation of property from him, based
upon the embarrassment of the affairs OF the
husband, and his insolvency, alleging as II
ground for separation that she has the means
and credit to carry on successfully separate
industry on her own account if her separate
industry and earnings are protected from the
pursuit of her husbands creditors.
The defendant accepted service of the plain
tiff's petition, and in due course default was
duly entered up against the defendant, and in
due course said default was confirmed by conf
petent evidence adduced.
For these reasons and because the law and
the evidence are in favor Of plaintiff against de-
fcndant. it is ordered and decreed that the
plaintiff. Mrs. Elizabeth Greenberg, wife of
Martin A. Schmidt, do have Judgment in her
favor. and against her said husband dissolv-
ing the community of acquets and gains here
tOfOre existing between them, and separating
her fully and finally from him i'll property.
1t is further ordered that the plaintiff be and is
fully authorized and empowered to carry on a
separate industry and business, free from the
control or administration of her husband, and
that defendant pay the costs of this suit to be
taxed.

The concensus of opinion is that the

opened bis office in Grand Prairie for

OF armed men prevented the colored
men from registering. At any rate, al
though a large number Of them we're
present for the purpose, none were reg

ond fixed for registering voters in that
ward, another body of armed men went
out to Grand Prairie with the avowed
purpose OF preventing any interference
with the registration of voters. but the
Registrar did not put in an appear
ance: A number of the voters Of that
ward thereupon addressed a letter to
the Governor, which is published else

"malfeasance and nonfeasancc in Office,
and conspiring with an armed body Of
men to intimidate voters" And there
the matter stands. When the suffrage
amendment is adopted, such dangerous

SPLENDID CONCERT,
One of the Best Musical Entertain
ments Given in the City.

The concert given Thursday at the
Baptist church by the Kuenstler-
Helm concert company, of St. Paul,
was a rare treat for music loving peo-
pie. 1t is not too much to say that
it was one of the most pleasing en-
tertainments of the kind ever listen
ed to in the city. The audience was
disappointingly small, but this did
not seem to affect the good nature of
the gentlemenly members of the
company.
Each one of the members of the
company is an artist in his line, and
it is to be hoped that they can be in
duced to visit Mankato again when
full house can be assured them.
. Mr.. Emil Straka is remarkably pro-
fcient On the violin, and his fame
extends over the state. His touch is
remarkably delicate and his work eff
fective.
Mr.. Ally. L. Colin is one of the
cleverest pianists in the northwest,
and he filed the building with
sweet melody from the magnificent
Conover grand.
Mr.. William James Chick has a
splendid bass voice, with plenty of
volume, we'll under control, and his
renditions were remarkably well ex-
ecuted.
Each of these members was encor-
ed after each number, and if the au-
dience was small it was enthusiastic,
The music was all of the highest
order and the entertainment should
have been given at the opera house,
and should have had crowded house
there,
