Mrs. CaIdsrsns's Petition

Judge Douglas was busy today In the
hearing Of uncontested petitions for
divorce. There were not as many cases
ready as yesterday and several were
heard on depositions.
Alvin r. Cole asked a divorce on the
grounds OF desertion from his wife LIZ
zie Cole. Both live in Bristol and were
married "a years ago. but for the last
eight years Mrs. Cole has not spoken to
her husband.
.ar. Cole in his deposition stated he
was a travelling man and while he v'as
away in Omaha eight years or so ago.
his wife deserted him. He saw her
once afterwards at his fathers house.
The petitioners mother testified that
about eight years ago the respondent
wrote from Crescent City. Iowa, to her
mother law, telling story OF sick
ness. The mother-in-,aw sent a check
for $50. For some time the petitioners
wife lived with her mother-in-law. but
during that time would not give the
reason for the trouble between herself
and her husband Another party de-
posed that Mrs. Cole had one OF the
handsomest houses in Bristol.
MARRIED IN HASTE.
There was testimony to show that
the marriage Of Henry Davis aged "a
years with woman he had known
three days did not prove an old saying
was untrue.
The woman's name was Augusta
Davis and her husband asked for di-
vorce on the ground of continued
drunkenness.
Davis lives in East Providence and
he introduced the depositions Of police
officers to show they had been called
in to quiet Mrs. Davis when she had a
drunken tantrum.
Mr.. Davis said his wife once attack
ed him with a carving knife.
A stepdaughter of Mrs. Davis said
she was manager of Mr.. Davis house
and he hired woman TO work in the
kitchen. The woman did not give satis-
faction.
She came on Monday and on Tues
day evening the daughter went to dis
charge the woman.
The newly hired woman said she
would not go. She would instead make
Mr.. Davis marry her. This she would
accomplish by giving him something
that would make him marry.
After marriage 1t was a regular habit
on the part of the new wife to get
drunk, crazy drunk, and to throw
dishes and stove covers at her husband.
The divorce was granted. F. p. Owen
was counsel for petitioner.
AN UNUSUAL PETITION.
An unusual petition was that of
Louisa Calderone VS.. Ferdinando CAL
derone.
The divorce was on the ground of ex-
treme cruelty and petition was amend
ed by leave of court insorder that Mrs.
Calderone might have the custody of
her newly-born child. Petitioner was
given leave to apply later for alimony.
Thomas r. West was counsel for Mrs.
Calderone.

caught on with a rush.
In truth. 1t is burt a natural Sc
quence that 1t should. Not alone was
the appeal in yesterdays News irre-
sistible, but todays oppressive humid
ity has intensified 1t hundredfold.
Scarcely had the papers left the press
yesterday. and. indeed, long before they
had a chance to get cold, when young
man rushed into The News business
Office at No. weybosset street and
planked down a dollar. saying. almost
breathlessly: "That is the grandest
scheme I've heard Of yet. and / want
to be the first to contribute to the
fund that The News has so generously
started"
And so IL IL all along the line. Be,
ginning last evening and all day today
subscriptions have been comins in and
hundreds of persons have called to
commend The News and congratulate
the needy, whose urgent cause it has
so spontaneously championed.
A. HAPPY INSPIRATION.
Persons in all walks in life declare
that IL WAS the happiest inspiration Of
the year, for everybody comedies the
necessity for surrounding the poor. es-
pecially where there are young chill
dren, with adequate conditions for
warding Off sickness and suffering dur
ing the hot weather. and especially
during the dangerous dog days so near
at hand.
For the benefit of those who may
not have read the admirable exposi-
ton OF the scheme to benefit those Of US
who are less fortunate than others. 1t
is herewith outlined again.
or course, the preliminary work re-
quires little time, and the greatest
need for the successful consummation
OF the plan is money, but the outlook Is
30 encouraging that 1t is believed that
It will be in operation by next week.
Briefly the idea is this: The News
will arrange to establish four or five
distributing stations in the most dense
ly populated districts, where deserving
poor people may obtain ice free of
charge.
For instance, to begin with one sta
tion may be established in Randall
square, another in Ofneyville square. a
third at the corner of Eddy and Ship
streets and fourth at the corner of
Governor and wickenden streets.
II the subscriptions augment rapidly
enough a fifth station may be estab-
lished right away. near the Hoyle tav-
ern.
Negotiations have been made with
the Earl Carpenter & Sons Ice COM
pany, who have very handsomely
agreed to assume half the cost Of the
enterprise.
TO~TRANsPoRT ICE.
At present IL Is intended to employ
two of the companys largest delivery
wagons as stations. They will be in
service from to s O'clock each after
noon, one at each OF two OF the pro-
posed stations. thus making It possible
to visit each station every other day.
To these wagons will come those in
quest OF ice and to each person bearing
the requisite credential. will be given
sufficient quantity Of the precious COM
modify to last until the wagons next
visit.
The credentials referred to will be

table agents, who will see that they
reach the hands OF the truly deserving.
Thus 1t will be seen that. although
the plan is simple. its possibilities for
saving life and relieving misery are al
most illimitable.
Can anybody conceive better plan?
Can anybody suggest more deserving
charity to offset the fiendish work of
that new sun spot, recently discovered

which threatens all sorts OF direful
things this summer?
Echo answers. Nobody" so bring

who have been taught to love your

THE CONTRIBUTORS.
AS will be noted. the News heads the
list with SIS. That will do considerable.
but 1t is only a drop In the bucket COM
pared with what will be needed before
the good work is accomplished.
Do you know that in sickness or In
health ice is one of the most useful
things in the wJ4fd? That some people
aside from the poor. who are deprived
:, OF its aid, realize It is shown. by the
following brief interviews had today
with persons of prominence.
These expressions of opinion, 1t will
be noticed. are culled from persons more
or less likely to receive numerous ap-
peals for charity, or who are in some
manner in daily touch with the suffer-
ings of the poor.
1t will likewise be apparent that moth
ing but the warmest praise is bestowed
upon the News for it's happy thought.
GOVERNOR GREGORY.
First and foremost. read what Cover
nor William Gregory has to say:
1.-THE plan of the News for providing
free ice to the poor and sick certainly
seems to be newspaper enterprise well
has long ceased to be a luxury and Is
become a necessity. quite as much SO
as food and clothing, or medicine in
time of sickness.
Whatever differences Of opinion may
exist as to the reason for the prevail
ing high price of ice. everybody will
agree that 1t is an absolute necessity to
the sick and that the present extraof-
dinary cost only makes 1t the more
necessary for benevolence to direct It
self in the direction proposed by the
News. The idea seems to me a most
happy one and have no doubt will
meet with generous public support"
MAYOR BAKER CoMMENDs.
Mayor William c. Baker was seen at
the City hall this noon and expressed
himself pretty strongly in favor of
the News plan.
TT certainly commends itself to me-"
said His Honor. "It is a most excellent
idea. especially for families where
there are small children. II the dis
tributlon be made with discretion II
will possess boundless advantages. as
I have reason to know that there is a
crying demand for Ice among the poor
each summer
Chief OF Police Baker said: 'It seems
to me to be am excellent idea on the
face of 1t and I hope the citizens will
generously support The News in its
mission

He says:"There Ii just as much men-
ace to the health Of people not provid-
ed with the proper means to keep milk
as to buy adulterated milk. or milk

1.-THE people in New York are kick
ing about the ice trust. but let me tell
you that there is fierce combination
here for poor people to go up against.
"The price is so high that they can't
afford to buy ice and yet Il l. abso-

Gov. Stanley has finally
decided to appoint only re.
publicans to the supreme
bench to meet the require
ments Of the judicial amend.
ment to the constitution ad.
opted by the voters of the
state this fall. It has been
stated that the governor was
considering the advisable
ity of appointing the judges
from the different political
parties, but he has finally put
a quletus on it by coming
out from under cover and an.
nouncing that all the judges
will be republicans. Neither
the republican politicians nor
the corporations want a non.

MILLAR WILL CONTEST.

AS soon as it was settled that w. G.
Nlllar could not get seat In the legis-
lature via the Philippine route, he and
those who are taking care of his pOliti-
cal fortunes decided to file a contest,
and with the assistance of an oyer
whelming republican legis lature, rob
Hon. John A. Lester of his seat to
which he was elected by the voters of
Barber county. E. Sample, of this city,
is MIR. MillarIs attorney and Is now
drawing up the papers. Two weeks
ago when it was conceded by nearly ev-
erybOdy that there would be no Philip
pine vote, Millar's organ, the Cresset,
Of this city, stated that there would be
no contest and Mr.. Lester would get
his seat, but later 1t seems that the big
guns at Topeka have been heard from
and the probability is that MllIar will
be seated in defiance Of the expressed
will Of the people at the ballot box.
Mr.. Lester is not yet decided as to
the course he will pursue. A contest
is an expensive luxury. Will the peo'
pie tolerate such political lodging?
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1900-12-19

EVER since Congressman Sibley of
Pennsylvania Topped to the republican
party he has been going from bad to
worse. His latest fad is an amendment
to the constitution making the presi-
dents term of Office six instead of four
years, prohibiting his re election, and
making him life member of the sen
ate after his term of Office in the White
House expires. The American people
sometimes do some very foolish things
but we don't think they are quite ready
for anything that rank. The idea of
pensioninga man for life simply be-
cause he has been fortunate enough to
get a $300.O0O whack at the public treas
ury, is preposterous. 1t seems that the
longer man is in congress these days
the less sense he has.

Petitions are being ircu-
lated and signed by people
of all political organizations,
asking the legislature of
Kansas to establish a salt
plant and an oil plant in the
state, and thus relieve con.
sumers from the extortion
now enforced by the gigan.
tic trusts that control these
products. Certain portions of
the state are rich in these re.
sources and state plants to
develop them would prove of
vast benefit to the people. AT
Hutchinson where the salt
vein is inexhaustible, the
state already owns the land
and salt could be produced
with little expense. In the
oil regions land could be ac-
CURED at a nominal price
and in a short time the state
could recover the outlay of
money required to produce
oil. 1t is hoped that the leg
islature will respond to these
petitions; nothing that it
could do would be of so much
benefit to the people. But,
as we have remarked before.
petitions receive very little
attention from such legisla-
lures as the one Kansas will
have in 1901.
