DIvoRE AND $4,000.
Mrs. Sarah e. Lansing Secures Sep
aration From Unfaithfui Husband.

Sioux City, April 14.-Mrs. Sarah %.
Lansing, of Buffalo, N. Y, arrived IN
Sioux City last evening from Ponca'
Neb., where she secured a divorce ana
$4,000 alimony last Wednesday from
her husband, DIR. l.. A. Lansing, a
practicing physician, who resides at
Emerson.
The divorce proceedings which We're
conducted before Judge Graves
brought out many sensational facts
concerning the twelve years OF mar
ried life of the couple. The doctor
offered no defense.
Mrs. Lansing stated that she was
married in Troy. N. Y. twelve years
ago to DR.. Lansing and that they re-
moved to Buffalo about two years
later. In that city the doctor built up
a fine practice and they son had a
beautiful home. In the latter part of
the year 1899, the second son was borr'
to them. Mrs. Daisy Rubridge was
called in as nurse. Mrs. Lansing
says that she soon discovered that an
intimacy had sprung up between her
husband and this woman. Mrs. Lam
sing tells the story herself as follows:
ION January ~, 1900, my husband
and this woman disappeared from Buff
falo together, taking with them all
the money and other valuables we had.
1t was not until April IL of that yeal
that l located them at Grand Rapids,
Mich, living together as Mr.. and Mrs
Leevinus Abram. had my husband
arrested and put in Jail at that place
on the charge of adultery, and after
- 4 a., 7
to withdraw these charges provided
he would abandon this woman. which
he promised to do.
Mrs. Rubridge then went to Emer
son, Neb., in February, 1901, but my
husband failed to return to Buffalo as
he promised he would, and went to
Omaha, and few months later To-
Gated In Emerson. This woman soon
afterward became his housekeeper,
and was found with him when l ar
rived there March 81, of this year.
Il at once instituted divorce pro-
ceedings in Ponca for divorce on the
grounds of desertion. In my petition
/ also asked for alimony, as my hus
band had left me with two children
penniless, taking with him everything
we had. The court granted the di
vorce after hearing the testimony and
also allowed me alimony of $4,000,
which is to come out of an estate
which DR.. Lansing will fall heir to in
a short time. In the meantime he will
have to pay me a stipulated sum
until the alimony can be paid
DIR. Lansing still lives at Emerson
and is following his profession, and the
Rubridge woman is still his house

The Misuse Of Words.

view, but never the quality of an objec-

sion, to the appropriations. These are
Senator Garst, chairman of the upper
house committee, Representative
Hughes. chairman OF the lower house
committee, and Senator Maytag, Of
Jasper. It Is doubtful If ever in Iowa's
assembly more persistent pressure was
brought to bear for appropriations. The
amounts given are much greater than
ever before. Senator Garst stood like a
rock against the assaults on the treas
ury, but tho he could not be moved he
was generally submerged beneath the
waves. Senator Maytag was the statis-
tician Of the committee, the right hand
OF the chairman. On the joint confer
ence committee he was especially USE
full. He had every possible fact con-
corning fiscal affairs tabulated, in

He answered all questions, made fig
