Against His Fnther-in-Law.
Kassas City, Feb. 2O.-Arthur Girls
som, poet and editor of a society pa
per published in New York city, yes
terday dismissed his suit for $4,000
damages instituted against his father
in-law, DR.. w. S. Woods, president Of
the National Bank of Commerce, for
alternating the affections of his wife
and breach Of contract. The terms Of
settlement are. said to include the pay
ment to Mr.. Grissom of 100000, while
Mrs. Grissom was allowed a divorce,
the restitution Of her maiden name,
Julia Stone Woods, and the custody Of
their 2-year-old child. Mrs. Grlssom
filed her suit for divorce yesterday
morning, and decree was granted her
within few hours time.
The marriage Of Grissom and Miss
Woods was romantic. She and her
mother went to New York in 1895 to
prepare her trosseau for her marrige
to a wealthy young Missourian. Mr..
Grissom and Miss Woods met. a
schoolday feeling Of mutual regard was
awakened, and they we're married
hastily at the Little Church Around
the Corner. On Dec. 9 last Grissom
filed a sensational suit here against
Woods for 100000 damages, alleging
that the doctor had persistently work
ed to set his daughter against her hus-
band, and finally succeeded. and an
other suit for 10000 for breach Of con-
tract.

This is the first time the school dis

estimate the state revenues for 1900 al

says if business conditions continue aa

present conditions will not justify any
increase of appropriations. The in
crease in the state revenues the past
