SMITH MUST PAY UP.
Tables Neatly Turned in n Contempt
CDae.

John T. Smith, who was formerly employed
In the Milwaukee shops of this city, applied
to the district court recently to have an order
made by which Katherine Smith, who nearly
a year ago had secured a divorce from him on
the grounds of cruelty, etc, might be arrested
for contempt of court. Smiths effort to make
his former wife treuble proved somewhat of a
boomerang, as is shown by the subsequent de-
Ieiopments.
When she case came before Judge Russell
Mrs. Smiths attorney, James A. Kellogg,
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the court
that Smith himself was already in contempt,
he having failed to pay the amount of at
torney's fees ordered by the court when the
previous judgment was entered Smith being
in contempt himself, the proceedings against

as soon as Mr. Teller closed. The sill
yer question, said Mr.. Sherman, was
purely a moot question. No doubt there
was silver majority in the senate,
but the country had settled down to
the idea that free silver coinage would
bring us to a single standard of silver,
and was undesirable. State after state
had taken this position. The use of
both metals, the bimetallic system,
was being accepted as the best. Under
these circumstances, continued Mr..
Sherman, the thrusting of this worn
out old question, whichIcould not hope
to succeed in the present congress, was
unwise in the present emergency of the
treasury. 1t was absolutely certain
that this silver amendment, if passed,
would be rejected by the house. Why
thus obstruct the relief imperatively
needed by the government The de-
ficiency had caused the trouble, and
the house had offered IAN emergency
tariff bill to overcome that deficiency.
