not A LEGAL WIFE
Sensational Allegations in the Joos
Case at Jamestown.
CHILDREN PITTED AGAINST WIFE
Previous Common Law Marriage Is
Said Never to Have Been
Annuled.

Special to The Journal.
jamestown, N. D., March 19.-Judge Of
PROBATE BlgeloW yesterday decided to ap-
polhtSS. h. Ellsworth administrator of the
estate or john M. Joos, deceased. The ap-
point ment was with the approval of o. j.
Seller attorney for Mrs. Joos. the widow
ana the seven others interested In the es-
tate Attorney Seller asked when the
nearing began that Mrs. Joos, the widow
DC appointed administratr ix.s This was
opposed by the attorneys for the seven
cntIdren, who asserted that Mrs. Joos
was never the legal wife of the dead man
that she had contracted common law
marriage with Ambrose Broatz many
years before she was married to John NJ
Joos, and that she had never received a
divorce from Broatz.
It was shown that in 1892 she was mar
rled to John M. Joos and that he had
looked up-the question as to whether she
was married before or not. The seven
other heirs are children Of Joos by his
! first wife.
The estate consists of a house in James
town worth about $1,000 $34o in cash and
S4OO in notes. The attorneys for the
seven heirs also want $1,000 received for
a quarter section Of land included in the
estate. Inc widows att orney contends
That the $1,000 was received from the sale
OF farm, the property being decided to
her six years ago. The attorneys for the
helrs maintain that the property was con-
yeyed to her in the form of trust deed
! ana was simply temporary arrangement.
Ihere is likely to be further litigation
before the apportionment of the estate
is settled. "

ALDERMEN PULL APART
COUNCIL DEADLOCK AT LA CROSSE
North Side Men Do Not Want the
New High to Go to the
South Side.
Special to The Innrna1

Special to The Journal.
La Crosse, Wis, March 19.-There is a
deadlock in the common council over the
selection of a site for the proposed new
high school, and unless there is change
before the next meeting it is feared the
project will be Indefinitely postponed.
There are eight sites in question, of
which two have met with most favor.
There are twenty aldermen and it will
require eleven votes to carry the matter.
At meeting sixteen were present and a
vote resulted seven to seven, two alder
men refusing to vote
The two sites voted upon are in the
north end of the south side The alder
men residing on the north side will OBJ
pose the selection of either of them and
will block the project unless a school
is erected on the north side in which the
first two years course Of high school
work will be taught. Two aldermen re-
siding in the extreme southern part OF
the city want the high school located
further south and declare they will con-
tinue to hold out until the last. 1t is a
deadlock, pure and simple.
A meeting will be held this evening
for the purpose Of compromising and it
is hoped that a satisfactory settlement
will be reached.

Japanese Fern Balls.

The lack of success of which some
people complain in the care of fern
balls Is due probably to one Of the fol-
lowing causes: Either cheap and
worthless ball was purchased or it has
not been kept properly damp. says
Home Notes.
1t is no good to give the fern an &C.
casional soaking and then let it get
bone dry. 1t must be kept steadily
damp. A good plan is to put up hook
over the sink in the buffers pantry and
to hang it there to drain after it's daily
tub. The daily tub of lukewarm water
is necessary for the well being of a
fern ball kept in the dry air of living
room, and care should be taken to Sc
cure it place where it will have plen-
ty Of light, but little or no sunshine.
Even in the hottest weather it should
not be kept out of doors, and drafts,
be it remembered, will ruin it.

Smoking Under Water.

Says an expert swimmer:
1t looks very strange to see man go
under water with lighted cigar in his
mouth. smoke calmly at the bottom
and come to the surface with the cigar
burning as nicely as if he were smok-
ing in his easy chair. Apparently he
defies all natural laws, but of course
he doesn't.
1t is simple trick, but it requires
practice. Just as throw myself back
ward to go down l flip the cigar end
for end with my tongue and upper lip
and get the lighted end in my mouth,
closing my lips water tight around it.
A little slippery elm juice gargled be-
fore going in prevents any accidental
burning of the mouth. Going slowly
down backward, lie at full length on
the bottom of the tank and blow smoke
through the cut end Of the cigar. Just
as reach the surface again another
flip reverses the cigar, and there am
smoking calmly. The reversing is done
SO quickly that nobody notices it.

An Ample and Sweet Revenge.

An Ample ana sweet Revenge.
A young Englishman who had been
repeatedly and unnecessarily annoyed
by the st. Malo custom house officials
made up his mind to get even with
them. The last time he had crossed he
had brought ferret over with him,
and minute or so before landing he
transferred the creature to black bag,
which he carried with extreme care
and an evident desire not to attract at
tention. This Immediately fetched
one of the douaniers, and he swooped
down on 1t with joyful alacrity.
Our young Englishman pretended not
to understand the official until the
Frenchman made his meaning clear by
unmistakable signs. Then he slowly
and reluctantly unlocked the bag. The
douanier plunged in his hand, and-but
my pen Get me put it down to my penn
refuses to adequately describe the dra-
matte scene that ensued. Suffice it to
say that the bare recital of it was balm

who made the ferret's acquaintance.

How 1t Looks When Locomotive Is

remarked an old railroad man to re-

steam engine are SO dead when the
smoke has cleared away that they are
never able to give an account of the
disaster.
Like many other accidents, the one
l saw was the result of carelessness-

in complete repair. 1t was on the Bal

machine rise in the air. 1t seemed to me
to be about as high as the telegraph
poles beside the track, which, as you
doubtless know, are not SO high as tel

cloud of dense black smoke and dust,
which hid the engine from view, and
almost simultaneously heard the roar
Of the explosion.

an artistic success. The bride particu-

trembling indeed was irreproachable.
