Heard at Present Term of Court.
NUPTIAL WOES REHEARSED
Marriage a Failure in Numerous Gases and
Freedom is Desired.

The present term Of circuit court
for Grant county is marked by the
extensive list of divorce cases that
are found upon the calendar. Eigh-
teen pairs OF mismetes want the
thread that binds their marital vows
severed for some reason or other and
all declare that in their present cir
circumstances marriage IS rendered a
failure. Some Of the plaintiffs have
, already scored the first fall, the de-
PENDANTS falling to appear and defend
and default thereupon being entered
against them. The next step for
these plaintiffs will be to prove up
their case, that is introduce the evil
dence of two or three witnesses in
support OF their allegations, pay the
costs of the decree and the court will
fulfill their desires for another state
Of single blessedness.

separation forever from the partner of
their joys and sorrows is as follows:

Securing a divorce nowadays IS not
strenuous. First, you have the
cause without which of course there
would be no desire for freedom, or if
YOU have the desire for another
nonchalanee for the partner of your
bosom YOU NAV get busy and make
causes. 1t is regretable TO relate, but
such things have happened before
now Having the cause, the next
thing to do is to procure the services
of an attorney. Much depends on
your lawyer. He will steer the case
ana get you into court when there IS
little doing The Judge will listen to
the dpcumeutal charges, the grounds,
etc. and will call the plaintiff to the
stand where an interrogation follows
by the attorney for the witness and
provided there is opposition, by the
defendants attorney. \ witness or
two will substanUats the cruel and
inhuman treatment or whatever the
charges may be and the judge will
use his good common sense as to the
testimony aud evidence. The broad
American way to look at divorces
nowadays in the courts is that when
two people have such troubles as one
relates on the stand there can be but
little respector love between the two.
Without reciprocal affection there can
be no true married relation.
1t really seems a serious and bias
phemous thing to thus see men and
women tear into shreds the VOWS they
made at the altar to love and honor,
but after all, philosophically speaking,
it is better to shake of the matrimon-
ial coil than to live and suffer. Many
it is said who would appear before
the divorce courts remain away be-
cause OF their children and in this
case their conduct is justified by all
laws. Then again Cupid's tangles are
not always disentangled; some married
people never seeming to get an I'M
derstanding. Oftentimes after being
divorced. these people return at a
later day to secure a marriage license.
Once they have tasted divorced life
and dropped the old, which after all,
was filled with greater joys than they
had realized, they decide to try again
The records of this county show in
stances o: this kind. and instances
where the couples have been married

gagged bv both parties, the case was
