DIVORCE CASE MYSTERY.
An Iowa Couple Discovered Thei
MnrrinEc Tie Had Come Loose.

An Iowa Couple Discovered Their
Mnrrinse Tie Had Come Loose.
From the Iowa State Register.
Judge W. F. Conrad Of the district court
recently gave the finishing touches to one
CT the most remarkable if not the most
important cases ever on the dockets of the
Polk county court records. 1t was in the
case of Johnson against Johnson. suit OF
no extraordinary pre- ensors, but anever-
theless filled with interest to the commun-
ity on account Of its UNIQUE character. In
cidantally, mystery OF some proportions
Is woven into 1t.
A decree was entered by Judge Conrad
yesterday setting aside the divorce grant
ed the plaintiff in the case from her hus-
band, the defendant. The decree was en-
tered Of record some time in 1885, accord
ing to the allegations CT the wife in her
petition asking the court to set it aside.
1t was set aside and Cancelled for the rea-
son that the defendant did not appear to
defend and for the reason that the court
found on the showing made by her that
the story Of the plaintiff was correct in
the material particulars.
The plaintiff is Lizzie Johnson. She was
married to the defendant in Des Mones
great many years ago. In her petition,
upon which the decree was entered yeSter-
day, she recites the fact that a divorce
vas recorded in the courts by whose terms
the conjugal relations existing between her.
mated The decree appeared to be entered
in correct form and apparently was grant
ed on her own petition and for good and
sufficient grounds
But she says she has never had any
knowledge of the granting of the divorce:
she denies that she ever asked the court
to grant her divorce; she persists that
she never authorized any person. to pro-
cure a divorce for her: that she did not
know she was divorced until a few months
ago; and that during all the ten years in
tervening she and her husband have con-
timed +" preside over their family as hus-
band and wife, have never been informed
that they were legally divorced and desire
to continue their marriage relations. A
mystery attends the entering of the for
mer decree. The exact date is not given
by the papers fled in the suit to set 1t
aside and the original papers could not be
found yesterday.
But in the light of the showing made by
Mrs. Johnson, and which was not contro-
verified by her husband, George Johnson,
who. in fact, did not appear to fight the
case, for the former decree appears as I'M
just to him as to her, Judge Conrad set
aside the divorce.

SPEED OF RAILROADS.
WeIl-KnOwn Inventor Says 1t Can
BE Doubled.

Hiram s. Maxim in Casters Magazine
see no reason why we might not ex-
pect to double the speed of steam-driven
railroad trains. Ordinary electric trains
should travel at the rate of 30 to 100 miles
an hour. and express trains at, say, I'D;
but in order to do this it would be neceS-
sary to so construct the carriages as to
enable them to pass through the air with
out any great resistance. The train should
be pointed at both ends; and have the APP
pearance of being all in one piece; even
the wheels and axletrees would have to
be boxed in. find in my experiments that
atmospheric skin friction on a smooth sur
face is so very small that it need not be
considered as factor at ALL but the power
required to drive a rough or Irregular body
through the air is very great
Electricity could, of course, be advan-
tageously employed on existing roads, but
if special roads We're to be constructed
comparatively cheap line could be en-
Ployed, and as the electrical train would
be vastly lighter than the steam train,
extensive grading and tunnelin, would not
be necessary. The line might follow. ap-
proximately. the contour of the country.
In the staam-driven train great power
is required to enable it to mount even
slight gradient, and all this energy is
wasted in heat and friction on the brakes
in descending the next grade. The extra
amount OF energy consumed by an electri-
cally driven train in mounting n gradient
could again be utilized in descending the
next gradient, because the descending
train. moving al a high velocity, instead of
having its speed checked by the of
brakes. could turn a switch in such a d.
rection as to convert the motors themselves
into generators, which would actually send
q current into the line which would be
available for the use of other trains. The
storing of energy developed by descend
2lWaES a
1T is quite imprac1icable to use 1t with
steam-drVen trains while it is a simple
matter in trains driven by a cable or by
electricity.

A GREAT DOG,
A Story That Ought to BE About n

clared Howard Vernon, as he petted his
$1,000 dog Glenbeigh. 81 can always de-
pend on him. When he makes a point I
know that he has scented bird, and /
know that he will not move a muscle while
1 have chance at that bird.
Il was hunting quail up at Point Reys
last month when ] lost Glenbeigh. i knew
he must be pointing in the brush some
where, but 1 looked everywhere for him
and could not find him. The next day re-
sumed the search, with no better success.
but on the third day / found him in
dense thicket, standing perfectly rigid.
with his tail sticking straight out behind
and one foot up. A quail had run into
hollow tree. ard the dog stood at the OPEN
ing pointing. The quail dared not come
out, and the dog, true to his training,
wouldn't move. He had been standing in
that position, without so much as moving
foot. for sixty-hve hours. and when /

INSPIRED by CLAY,s VOICE.
circumstances Under Which Henry
Russell Composed Song.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Henry Russell, the song writer and COM
poser, was at one time one of England's
most favored sonssters. but his voice was
suddenly hushed thirty years ago while
singing one Of his greatest successes. Re-
Gently his fame was renewed by the pre-
sentation Of his drama, "Chear, Boys,
Cheer" He spent some time in America,
and for years was employed as an organist
at Rochester, N. Y. 1t was here that he
CHANGED to hear a speech by Henry Clay,
the great Kentucky orator. and the charm
of the speaker set him thinking
81 asked myself" he says in a book he
has recently written. why, # Henry Clay
could produce such an impression by his
distinct enunciatfon of every word, should
it not be possible for me to make music the
vehicle of grand thoughts and noble senti-
ments, to speak to the world through the
power of poetry and song? The idea gain
ed upon me. l became more and more
fascinated with the thought, not only of
trying my fortune as a vocalist, but also
of composing my own songs. 1 commenced
there and then to set to music Macl1ays
beautiful poem, Wind of the Winter
Night, Whence CONTEST Thoug All the
night through I paced up and down the
room arranging the music for the poem,
and 1 remember that the notion upper
most in my mind was tc infuse into my
| music, as 1t were, the subtle charm Of the
voice = Henry Clay. II was quaint idea,
but it:took entire possession of my mind
and I believe it inspired me. A few days
later had my music al rendering of Mack
avs fine verses all ready and I took the
first opportunity Of playing it over to some
friends. They applauded it, and their
praise was emphatic enough to be sincere
This success decided me. From that day
song composing became the serious object
of my life. Success followed success oh.
WooGman, Spare That Treer "A Life On

and The Maniac were the songs that
leapt quickest into popularity
