cut the circular ends and to form in
them at the same times raised section.
which assists in stiffening IKE ends. The
parts are then put together. the side
seam being closed by means of a special
ly made machine that produces per-
fectly secure joint, but solder is en-
plcyed to render all portions quite
tight.
The advantages claimed for this cask
are great durability, strength and ex-
ceptionally small repairs. The first
cost is greater than that of wooden
barrel, but the extreme length of life,
and freedom from loss of contents by
breakage, leakage, ETC., more than COM
pensate for this. There is no loss by
absorption as in the case with wood.

BETTER Than WOOD.
Great Casks Are Supplan ting the Or

A steel cask is being extensively ad-
vertised in England, as substitute for
ordinary wooden barrels for shipping
petroleum, medicinal extracts, essen

the Standard Oil company's German
branch has extensively adopted this
novel cask. Plain terne-coated steel
sheets are employed in it's construction,
these being first passed through cor
rugating machine, which forms parallel
corrugations from end to end and con-
siderably stiffen and strengthen the
cask when completed. In order to OBJ

it is passed through second machine.

THE DIVORCE MILL
Only Three Days of Welded Bliss and
Then the End

Mrs. G. Pelzer is quite a young and
good looking woman and is very anxious
to obtain a divorce from Edward w. Pei
zer. She made second try in court yes
teroay in Department two ard was
again denied. Mrs. Pelzer married in
Lawrence, Kansas, and with her hus-
band went to Kansas City, where they
remained three days The she returned
to her home while her husband went off
to establish home. From the date of
separation the husband and wife have
not again met The husband has refused
to contribute to his wife's support, un-
sallantly saying he would rather throw
his money in the river-the Chicago
river at that. For some time he has al
together disappeared from his wife's
knowledge and as the marriage was of
such short duration and few people
could possibly know anything regarding
that brief married period, the wife is un-
der difficulty in producing the corrobo-
rative evidence required by the law.
Mrs. Emma Smith was yesterday
granted decree divorcing her from J.
w. Smith, on the ground of desertion.
The parties to the suit are colored peo-

The husband had followed the business
of barber and also butcher, but by pref
erence took up the business OF a boot
black and established himself at Fourth
and Spring streets. He was cruel to his
wife and failing to support her and the
two children, Truine, aged IA, and James
Rodney, aged 5, forced his wife to go out
and work in support of herself and chill
