AFTER FIVE DAYS
Of Married Life a Husband sues for


Of Married Life a Husband sues for
Divorce.
Is marriage a failure? This ques-
ton has been the subject for discus
sion in high life and low life for more
than half a century, and it has never
been settled to the entire satisfaction
of all concerned.
We had a wedding in this city on
the Sth day of March that demon
strates fully that marriage is some
times a failure. On that date Justice
Willer united a happy pair in the
holy bonds of matrimony, and on the
18th day of March the husband OF
five days filed a petition in the Com
mon Pleas Court for divorce. The
allegations in this petition are be-
You'd comprehension. The bride OF
five days is charged of being guilty
OF conduct so unbecoming, so un.
natural for a woman, that we doubt
if a jury of twelve men could be
found in this country Dr. the Philip
pines that would be willing to believe
the man who made them. They are
awful.

GO OUT OF TOWN DEWEY DAY.
Residents OF Chicago who Passed
Anniversary of the Manila
Battle Playing Golf.

There We're some people In Chicago
on Dewey day as the appearance Of
the streets and buildings testified,
but there were others as well who
were not in Chicago, but who bied
themselves away on an early train
to the nearestgolf ground and spent
the holiday propelling the little round
gutta percha implement across green
fields and pastures new, says the
Chronicle. The lull Of the country
was particularly gratifying when con-
trasted with the Jar and hustle and
excitement ofthe celebration in town,
and, while the country idler wanted
to cheer for Dewey, he wanted still
more to enjoy the delights Of holi-
day close to natures heart when
spring is in the air.
So he gave a little cheer for Dewey
every time he drove ball and he
challenged his opponent to come on
in the immortal words of the immor-
tai commander: "You may. fire when
you are ready Gridley." He kept the
battle1of Manila in his heart and left
the sweet seclusion of streets for lns
fellow residents with the tastes Of the
town.
For the joys of a pageant and the
music Of band and the amusing bur
lesque of the bandmaster and the gilt
ter and clash Of the army and the
navy and even the sight of the hero
of the nation himself are weighed in
the scales with a game of golf and
the balance is found woefully want
ing.

GETS TWO MORE CLUBS.
SaIIiSaw and Grove Endorse
Preston S. Davis.

The candidacy of Preston S.
Davis for delegate at large to the
Kansas City convention is becom-
ing decidedly popular, especially
throughout the Northern district.
He also has sturdy following in
the Central and Southern districts.
Two more clubs have added their
unanimous endorsement to his
cause, and many Of those who
have not yet instructed their dele
gates will do so at an early date.
Alta recent meeting of the Sallisaw
club Mr.. Davis was endorsed with
out dissenting vote. The fol-
lowing from the Grove Messenger
gives the sentiment of that town
"Preston Davis and J. B. Tur-
ner, OF Vinita, delighted the dem
ocrats and made the republicans
shake in their shoes for few
hours last Saturday. Mr.. Turner
took up the Boer war and showed
the alliance between the McKin-
ley administration and Great Bri-
tain to rob and murder innocense.
When Mr.. Davis got the floor he
went after the rascality Of the re-
publican administrator from start
to finish. He handled their bank
ing robbing scheme with facts and
figures, as be is able to do. The
best attention was paid through
out and all were pleased and bene-
fited by their coming. A few old
stalwart republicans on leaving
the hall stepped as sprightly as
young lads and at every few steps
they would make a dig in the ra-
dius of their pistol pockets as
thought that particular spot was
burning. Mr.. Davis got assurance
from this club that be would get
their united support for. delegate
at large to the Kansas City con-
vention."

The band only plays at intervals, but

Victory in battle Is often due to the

but Agassiz, who had become famous
in the commonplace world through
having refused, not long before, an
offer from the emperor of the French
of the keepership of the Jardin dcs
Plantes and senatVrship, if he would
come to Paris and live. Such an in
credible and disinterested love for
America and science in our hemis-
phere had lifted Agassiz into an ele-
vation of popularity which was be-
yond all scientific or political dignity,
and the selectmen of the town .ap-

and his friends to the region. A re-
ception was accorded, and they came,
having taken care to provide them
selves with an engraved portrait of
the scientist, TO guard against
and waste of their re-
spects. The head Of the deputation,
after having carefully compared Agas-
siz to the engraving. turned gravely
tn his followers and said: "Yes, it's
him." and they proceeded with the
same gravity TO shake hands in their
order, ignoring all the other lumin-
aries.
