BROKE THE DIVORCE RECORD.
Judge Reed Did the Trick in 9 Minutes, 10
Seconds.

Wichita, Kan, Sept a3.-Wichita

homa, claimed to have beaten this
record by nineteen minutes, and a
Chicago paper quoted fifteen minutes
as the record for that city.
Tuesday Mrs. Julia A. Leonard ap.
peared before Judge Reed and asked
for release from her husband, TO whom
she had been united in 1886. Judge
Reed, holding his watch in his hand
instructed the attorneys to proceed,
which they did in the briefest manner
possible. In just nine minutes and
ten seconds Mrs. Leonard received
her decree, with the stamp and red
seal attached. Thus, Kansas claims
the first place once more.
Judge Reed closed his watch with
snap, smile on his face, and re.
sumed the whisky trial that had been
broken into.

STOLE MRS. LANGTRY'S JEWELS,
Gems Worth 5000, 900 Secured From a
Bank on a Forged Order.

LONDON, Sept. a2.-The applica-
tion of Mrs. Langtry to the Union
Bank for the restoration of Jewels
valued at 100000, which she de-
posted before leaving London for
Baden Baden, discloses that they have
been stolen on forged order.
The bank on August "a delivered
the jewels to person, who brought
an order in handwriting resembling
that of Mrs. Langtry and bearing a
counterpart of her signature requiring
the bank to give the Jewels to
"bearer."
Mrs. Langtry declares that the or
der was a forgery, and has placed the
matter in the hands OF the police, who
thus far have been unable to
trace the forger or the jewels.
There is reason to believe that the
value placed upon the jewels is not
exaggerated, as they have long beeu
famous, They include three tiaras,
one being of diamonds and pearls and
one diamonds and rubies, and third
of diamonds and turquoises, besides
several necklaces and rivieres. The
box, in fact, contained nearly all
the gems and precious stones that
Mrs. Langtry possessed.

If you have any dead animal-say,
for instance, the body of a dead horse
do not suffer it to pollute the atmos-
phere by drawing it away 10 the
woods Or amy other out-of-the-way
place, but remove 1t short distance
only from your premises, and put
down four or five loads of muck or
sods, place the carcass thereon and
sprinkle it over with qulcklime, and
cover over Immediately with sods or
mold sufficient TO make, with what
had been previously added, twenty
good wagon loads, and you will have
within twelve months pile of man
ure worth $40 for amy crop you choose
to put it upon. Use a proportionate
quantity Of mold for smaller animals,

dogs manifest stoo great regard for
the enclosed carcass, shoot them on

Managers.

Fixed or permanent managers, as q
general rule, save time and labor in
feeding stock. All animals should
have low managers, otherwise the mus
clos OF the neck become stiff or con-
tucted by the non-use of natural ex-
erciSe This is most readily observ-
able in race horses and Stallions which
are confined in stalls. For such, a
tub or box should be used and remov-
ed from the stall Immediately after
feeding. But the special advantage of
movable feed trough Is found in the
case of animals which have dis
charge from the noStlils, us the soiled
feed vessels can be more readily and
completely cleaned. Horses long con-
fined in the cities, whose working
lives are spent in severe confinement
in cramped stalls with high hay-racks
and feed-boXes, when from lameness
on injury are sent to the pasture for
recovery, or recupera tiOn, suffer severe
pain in grazing. If this is not soon dis
covered, the horse Is returned to the
owner in half-staryed condition, and
the poor beast is fit subject for the
society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals.
