and the other is inside Of the large one
The carbons viii burn for ninety hours
without changing. while with the old
ones it was necessary to make trip to
all of the lamps every day in order to

packing plant is now in the hands Of
Wichita men and the famous Cudahys Of
Chicago have entered into final con-
tract TO take the house and operate it
10 its fill capacity the year round. The
Cudahys have long been anxious to have
a packing house in Wichita, because it
IS nearer the market and they prefer for
obvious reasons to ship the meat out OF
Wichita packed to their trade than the
hogs which they have been doing.
About five weeks ago a special inspector
for the Cudahys came to Wichita and
looked the plant over and made fav-
CRADLE report. Two weeks later Mr.. John
Cudahy came to Wichita to see for him
self and was favorabIy impressed with
the plant. Then the Wichita rash who
had secured the plant. went TO Chicago
and closed the contract.

erations. which will be soon, it win be

nary and for this purpose a meeting of

of course a big crowd viii attend. every
man who is interested in the onward
march Of the city, and that includes
everybody, should be on hand
The plant is a valuable one, and of the
many splendid institutions of Wichita is
the last one to receive the vivifying touch
of good times. The big Office buildings
are all occupied, the college buildings
are all crowded with numerous attend
ance new buildings are in course of con-
struction, and with the smoke belching
from the smokestack of the Whitaker
Packing plant, and the hogs going in one
door and coming out in canvas packages
from the other door, Wichita can stand
before the whole world as one fully re-
stored, with all her old strength and pur-
pose revived and new strength and well
added
The old timers of Wichita will appreci-
ate this good news, because they will

city yesterday in consultation with the
sheriff's force regarding the stealing OF
cattle in the southern part of the county.
The farmers Of that locality who have
cattle in pastures are reporting the loss
of from one to two fat steers from their
herds and they are getting somewhat
alarmed over the situation.
a plan is on foot TO organize a Wig
lance committee TO do systematic work
in the apprehension of the thieves If
the guilty persons should be caught, Mr..

led considerable lately by just such work

STUDY IN DIVORCE
Based on the Slxty-Two Cases
in This County
MANY WOMEN PETITION
Cruelty and Neglect of Duty
Predominant in Charges.


The usual number of divorce cases or
the docket in this county has caused re-
mark and attracted attention, particularly
among those who think the divorce evi
is spreading. An examination OF the pa.
pers on file in court shows that Of the
total number Of cases fled for the Sep
tember term, 81, the charges are very
similar, as a rule, and complaints fol
low a general line, showing that the
cause Of domestic troubles are not num-
erous. The women appear more often tc
the courts for relief than men.
In the number of cases filed, the num-
Der filed by men and women is as fol

An interesting fact in the divorce suits
filed, is the number of years the par
ties lived together before they parted.
For instance, five of the couples now in
the divorce mill were married less than
a year when they separated. The table
is curious:

for several years and thewife decided to
return to her husbands home for an
other stay. After living together for
two years, there was trouble in the family
and the wife left the home again. The
husband thinking to settle the matter
for good has brought suit for a divorce
and his charge is neglect Of duty and
abandonment.
One fact particularly noticeable Is that
when divorce proceedings are brought by
women and there are children in the fam
lily. the woman always asks for the Gus
tody Of the children and states IN her

capable of taking proper care OF them

And talk ofjoys that there are seen.
