NEBRASKA NAME UNCHANGED
Robert Smart's Fame Stays Undimin-
iShed.

iShed.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Smart-
vile is to retain it's name. Some
years ago Robert Smart, a resident Of
Johnson county, appropriated land
and dedicated streets and alleys to
the new town, and the citizens, in
view of Smart's philanthropy, called
the place Smartville. Last fall Judge
Stell of the district court made an Or
der changing the name from Smart
vile to Helena. The railroads refus-
eu to accept the change and the citi-
Zens of SmartVille appealed to the
postoffice authorities at Washington,
asking for the substitution of the
name Helena for Smartville Large pc
titions were placed on file and extend
ed arguments were made for the new
name. The postoffice people, after re
viewing the case, today decided
against any change, on the ground
that the new name would be confus-
ing to railway postal clerks, who
would undoubtedly get the name mix
ed with. Helena, Mont. Smartville
will get along with its present name
until something else is suggested for
adoption.

LAW ON MARRIAGE RELATION.
Supreme Court Rules on a Question
Long in Dispute.

Supreme Court Rules on a Question
Long in Dispute.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 22.-In the
case of the University of Michigan
against McGuckin, which was appeal
ed from Douglas county, the supreme
court has ruled on a question of law
that has long been in dispute. 1t is
the question what constitutes the mar
riage relation. Commissioner Kirk
patrick in an opinion approved by the
court declares that the marriage rela
tion is only in a limited, qualified
sense contractural He declares it is
a social status for the assumption of
which by persons of the requisite le-
gal capacity, all that is essential is
their free consent. He says further
that the consent requisite to the Gre
alton of the marriage relation need
not be expressed in any especial man
ner nor by any prescribed form of
words, but may be sufficiently evidenc-
ed by any clear and unambiguous Ian
guage or conduct.
The evidence in this case was to
the effect that McGucking and his
first wife, and his wife's first hus-
band, had some differences which led
to an appeal to the court. While the
divorce cases were pending the wo-
man went to the McGuckin home as a
housekeeper and agreed to marry Nc
Guckin as soon as the legal obstacle
was swept away by the granting of the
divorce. After the way was made
clear, however, the promise was new
er carried out, at least no marriage
ceremony was ever performed. The
question of law was thus brought up
in a controversy over the settlement
of an estate.

THE GREATEST OF
AMERICAS
SANITARIUMS.

The principal remedy he relies upon in
such cases is Peruna, which every
woman should have, who has any affec-
ton of this kind.
In view of the great multitude of
women suffering from some kind of
female disease, and yet unable to find
any cure, DR.. Hartman, the renowned
gyn@cologist, has announced his viii
lingness to direct the treatment of as
many cases as may make application to
him during the summer months with
out charge.
The treatment will be conducted by
correspondence. The doctor will pre-
scribe all medicines, applications, hy-
gienic and dietary regulations neces-
sary to complete cure. The medicines
prescribed can be obtained at all drug
stores. This offer will prevail during
the summer months. Any woman can
become regular patient by sending a
written statement of her age, condition
of life, history and symptoms of her de-
rangements.
All cases of female diseases, including
menstrual irregularities, displacements,
ulcerations, infammations, discharges,
irritation of the ovaries, tumors and
drepsy of the abdomen, should apply at
once and become registered as regular

FORTUNE IN A RATS NEST
Bundle of Currency Found
Secreted in a Rodents
Headquarters.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News.'o
RIVERSIDE, May 81, 1se2.-V. H.
Lavigne, of this city, recently came into
the possession of some property. While
repairing the structure he discovered to
his surprise a number of greenbacks
sticking out of hole, but to his disn1ay
they fell into small pieces as soon as he
touched them Then Lavigne grew angry
and tore the whole floor UP. Lying IL.
one corner beneath the floor were several
large bundles of paper currency, but, as
before, the minute his fingers came IN
contact with the alluring bills the bundles
fell apart. At that moment a large
rat ran from under cover and the mys
terry was solved. Whoever had secreted
the fortune had not taken into consider
alton the presence of rate. The rodents,
however, soon discovered the greenbacKs
and concluded that they would make very
desirable nests.
In the hope that his fortune may not
all be gone, Lavigne has communicated
with Sub-Treasurer Finney asking what
steps to take toward having the mutilated
notes redeemed AS the greenbacks are
badly chewed 1t is probable that nothing
can be done with them. The bills are in
such condition that 1t is impossible
for Major Finney to determine whether
they represent ten or ten thousand dol
lars. He is doing his best, however, and
Lavigne is spending all his spare time In
1ODing.

WATERY BATTLE
Fierce Fight Between Engin-
eer and Suicide in the
Waters of the North
River.

An unidentified man about thirty years
old committed suicide this morning short
ly after 1 o'clock by jumping from the
Pennsylvania Railroad ferryboat Cinein-
natl of the Cortlandt street line just as
the boat was about to leave the New
York slip. Engineer John Ryan made
an heroic effort to save the mans life,
and succeeded in bringing him aboard
alive after fierce struggle in the water.
The man was brought to this city, and
died ON the way to the City Hospital in
an ambulance. No papers nor marks Of
any kind Were found, SO that his identity
remains a mystery.
There were few passengers on the boat
that trip. The suicide was alone on the
foreward deck When the signal to ''go
aheadp was given, Engineer Ryan was
about to enter the engine room. He
heard splash, and disregarded the sig
nal to start the machinery. Rushing to
the rail he say the man struggling in the
water, and stopping only long enough TO
shout the warning man overheard, he
jumped into the river. In a twinkling
Ryan had the man clasped under the
arms. But the other was determined to
die He fought Ryan fiercely and beg
ged to be allowed to die. The would be
suicide punched Ryan, but was no match
for his rescuer and soon became exhaust
ed. He swallowed a great quantity of
water, however. and this was as. much
responsible for his helplessness as Ryan's
efforts.
While the two were struggling the
other members of the crew, attracted by
Ryan's shouts, were on the rail and with
boathooks made many efforts to rescue
the pair.
1t. was several minutes before they
succeeded in catching the clothes of the
men with the hooks. Both were hauled
on deck, and Immediately the crew be-
gan work on the unconscious man, Ryan
going to the engine room and starting the
boat on its trip to this city. The man
never regained consciousness. When the
City Hospital ambulance arrived at the
ferry he was removed. He died before
he had gone more than few blocks,
and the body was taken to Speer's NOR
que.
The suicide was dressed in black
coat and vest, gray trousers, blue out
ing shirt black laced shoes and was
about Ave feet ten inches tall he
weighed about 1S0 pounds.

line of his property adjoining that of M.
Bourmann, an official in the Botany Mill,

called In a policeman and attempted to
have his neighbor arrested as disor-
