.Ante-NuytiaI Contract Valid.

NEVADA. Mo-, May ia case out
of the usual order was decided in the
Vernon Circuit Court this afternoon.
by which c wife's title to no acres of
land decided to her in an ante-nuptial
contract by her husband was confirm
ed to her. Mrs. y. c. Aleeks. a hand
some widow OF St. Joseph. came here
last Januaryto wed Judge Chas, Ford.
a well-tO-do aged farmer, who resides
in thenorthern partOf Vernon county.
The wedding was to be conditional
upon Mr.. Ford deciding her a certain
part Of his land. He gave her a deed.
which was duly recorded. The mar
riage license was granted and thecrre-
mony performed which made Judge
Ford and Mrs. Meeks man and wife.
The couple went to the Judges farm.
but only lived together a few months,
the wife returning to St. Joseph. Then
came the contention over the deed.
1t called for 40 acres of land. but
Judge Ford claimed she had agreed to
marry him for 100 acres. and brought
suit TO reform the deed. The wife OPP
posed the action. and the ease this af-
ternoOn was decided in her favor. Civ
ing her the no acres rs set forth by
the deed. The evidence developed the
fact that Judge Ford was in the habit
of sleeping with a butcher knife under
his pillow. but it was not shown that
this was the entire cause of his wife's
leaving him. He is nearly IL years
of age, while his wife is 43.

Il is likely that the experience OF the
'iavorite sons this yearwillmaterial-
~ modify. if it does not entirely re-
move, the absurd notion entertained
by Il certain class of public men that
they have Il proprietary interest in
their respective States, politically
speaking. These presumptuous indi-
viduals are always talking about my
State in the sense of having an eX-
elusive and unlimited claim to its sup
port. withthe right to dictate its course
and policies. They seem 20 think
that when they are elected to the Sen
ate. for instance-and most of them
occupy seats in that body-thcy are
thereby invested with complete over
eighty over their constituents and the
territory of their States. The recent
assertions OF this idea as related to
the selection OF Z Republican candi-
date for President have been notably
arrogant. sain-glOrious and more or
less ridiculous. In various parts of
the political landscape the f~avorite
son has popped up as the self-appoint-
Ell choice of his State. and has for
hidden all outside candidates to enter
it in quest Of delegates. as if such
Interference in his affairs implied
some sort of Il crime.
There is certainly no justification
for an attitude OF this kind on the part
OF any political leader. If = State de-
cides for itself that n of its sons is
the best man to put forward for the
Presidency, not simply because he
lives within its limits. but because of
qualifications that are equally worthy
of consideration in all States. ii is
both its right and its duty to present
him and work for him zealously. But
the fact that Il man puts himself for
ward in that relation does not denote
that his State is bound to stand BY him
for the purpose of gratifyirghi s vanity
or serving him a selfish purpose in
some other way. The assumption that
such an obligation exists is a mockery
of ordinary political philosophy and
an insult 20 the intelligence and self
respect Of the people, y State does
not belong 10 any man as = political
reservation from which he has the
right to exclude men of other States
who are seeking Il national Office.
There is such \ thing as State pride.
TO be sure. but it does not include the
necessity of su]ppressing an honest
preference for q citizen Of another
STATE berause a local aspirant ees iii
to enter the race for the great prize OF
the Presidency. The people have gen
orally dealt with the favorite son
theory this year in 4 fashion which
plainly signifies that tneT have begun
to look upon il with fatigue and dis
gust: and it is safe 10 predict that the
man who talks about my State" with
tne meaning Of political ownership

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season. but perhaps the more
generally needed in the Spring. when
the languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of a. tonic and Alternative
Is felt. y prompt use OF this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps

The Road Q1estiOn.-Accept State Aid
 Before it Is Too Late.
 Elitor of Nesrs:
 North Canaan needs Paul Revere to blow blast from his trumpet and arouse the catixens from their slumbers. North Canaan is sometimes called the .'Gate of the Berkshifes>" But to one familiar with it ..A Sand Gate would seem xn appropriate name.
 Nov there is an opportunity to render North Canasn great service and supply ono of it's long-feit needs. The State has willed each of its daughter towns 8 sum of money to assist in bettering the condition of its drivevsys and thus ren- der their surroundings up to date with their sister towns. But the charming end talented daughter North Canaanl. noted for her philanthropic virtues and her up and up temperance principles lfor which she is honored by all her sis ters). seems unconscious of the great boon that her parent offers her and, un- les she rouses herself and gets the sand out of her eyes very soon, her sister towns will not only benefit by their DOT tion but by what was designed for North Canaan and would have made her bios. som as the rose.
