The fact that Peter Power developed "ner-
vous irritability of heart may have light
| thrown upon it by the fact that Mr.. Power
was married last week. Mr. Power is passing
tho most eventful year in his career.
Sandy Beach, on the other side Of Cedar
lake, where the boys in low-necked ball
1 dresses learn to swim, is packed SO full of
kid after n p. m. that it is difficult for an
inexperienced child to find anything damp to
i jump into. If it were not for Cedar lake,
nearly every boy. in town would be out about
a million dollars "a season to the park board
for the sacred privilege Of moistening his
person in the high class, expensive water fur
nished BY the park board at Lake Calhoun.
1t would be a great calamity should the park
board attempt to interfere with Cedar lake

Editor c. r. Clingman of the Montrose,
Iowa., Journal gives the public merely q hint
regarding the divorce applied tor by his wife.
Mr.. Clingman says: --- ...@
7 do not wish to mention Mrs. Clingman's IS
faults but-I do believe that there is not q
man in the state aof Iowa, with mind and
body, that could live happy with a woman Of
her disposition She always had. her own @
way, and never gave me g fair chance. She
was willing for me to take the buzzard and
her the turkey, or her the turkey and me
the buzzard, and that had5to end 1t. and gen.

1t seems that there was not only q mother
hut a daughter in the family into which
Mr. Clingman unhappily, broke. The editor
continues:
When we got married, she had mother
(. and daughter, who, with herself, turned
against me, but, like the foolish ass, bore
the burden with only an occasional bray.
MY load was heavy and my work was burden

Finally my wife's mother was called to the
other shore; then her daughter got married.
Here the editor admits that he looked FOL
relief, but, instead conditions grew worse
He says that Mrs. Clingman demanded and
obtained "every conceivable luxury" She hat
full charge Of the family railroad pass and
travelled from one end OF the line to the othel
while Clingman paid the freight" Sht
bought what she pleased and Cltngman paid
the bills. The editor adds:

There may have been fault on both sides
but the strange roticence of the editor i,
speaking Of his family affairs does not permi
one fairly to pass Judgment on the Elingmal
family troubles. But we believe the Montros
Journal will be-a better paper than 1t has beel
In the past.
