MRS. sPRATT NOT SATISFIED.
Reasons Why She Desires q Separa-
ton from Her Husband.

Mrs. Aurora Spratt, wife of John E.
Spratt, instituted suit for divorce yester-
day. Mrs. Spratt alleges that when she
married Spratt, twelve years ago, she was
required to make a home for him and his
three children by previous marriage, and
that when the home was prepared he made
her pay him $40 for an old cook stove he
contributed to the furnishings. She alleges
that she had to return to dressmaking to
support herself and maintain the home,
and that, when asked to help pay the gro
Gerry bill, Spratt said he would see her
pieces of property and was Sc financially able
to do so. Mrs. Spratt alleges that Spratt
kept himself in an unpresentable condition
and made her home hideous by keeping
the back yard full of Belgian rabbits.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETS.


At the meeting of the board of governors
of the Board of Trade last night the men,
bership committee reported the deaths of
two well-known members-Peter +. Bryce
and George w. Sloan. The latter was one of
the most prominent members of the board.
having served on the board of governors
since the organization of the Board of
Trade. twenty-one years ago. He was also
an ex-president of the board of governors.
One new member was elected last night,
William Schrolucke, of the Madison-avenue
Elevator Company. The grain committee
reported adversely on the bill now pending
in Congress against the amendment to
the Department of Commerce measure
which gives the President discretionary
power in placing the nterstate-commerce
Commission under the newly-created De-
partment of Commerce.
The letter from Miss Sloan, thanking the
board Tor its sympathy in the death OF her
father, was read and resolutions of SYM
pathy were passed. Following are the reso-
lutions on the death of George w. Sloan:
Whereas, The city of Indianapolis and
many of it's institutions have lost the. serv-
ices Of one of the oldest, best-known cit
liens OF the capital city. Mr.. George w.
Sloan, and
Whereas. Mr.. Sloan was a governor.
ex-president and longtime member of
the Board of Trade: now, therefore, be 1t
Resolved by this board, That as a mark
of our appreciation we direct the secretary
to spread ON his records this minute of
appreciation; and, further
Resolved, That the secretary be direct
ed to send to the family of the deceased
governor a copy of these resolutions.
In recording this expression we all unite
in q desire to testify to the broad liberal
ity, unfiinching loyalty to conviction and
high character of our deceased member.
HE thought not only of himself. but of
his city and of it's institutions Having
lived most of his life in this city, he has
impressed upon it those characteristics
which have marked him as a useful, up
right and public-spirited man. We can
Ill afford to lose him, but the city will al
ways show a mark of his example and
life"

A Simple Recipe.

TShowing how to make the right kind of a mar
out of the right kind of boy]
To be a wholly worthy man,
AS YOU, my boy, would like to be
This Is to show you how you can
This simple recipe.
Be honest-both in word and act,
Be strictly truthful through and through
Fact cannot fail-you stick TO fact
And fact will stick to you.
Be clean-outside and inland sweep
Both hearth AMI heart and hold them bright
Wear snowy linen-aye, and keep
Your conscience snowy white.
Do right your utmost-good must come
To you who do your level best
Your very hopes will help you some,
And work will do the rest.

Becomes a Raving Maniac.

Bakersfield. Cal, Aprll 21.-Al
Hulse, the ex-convict, accused of the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Tibbetts
and Marshal Packard, has become a
raving maniac in the county Jail.
Last night, about midnight, he be-
gan shrieking for help, declaring he
vas entirely innocent and begging
the officers to take him out of the
jail. Hulse is a confirmed dope fiend,
and it is thought the deprivation Of
the drug during. his imprisonment IS
what is really the matter with him, as
Sheriff Kelley absolutely refuses to
allow the use of narcotics to any pris>
oner.
The sheriff does not now anticipate
any attempt at lynching.

Z. r. Story, who spent several days
In the city, has returned to Sheridan.
Mr.. Story accumulated a fortune dur.

Because of the fact that many who

the number from this city who will

FAMOUS LETTER WRITING CON-
vlcT is RELEASED.
RESTORED TO CITIZENSHIP
Petition for Pardon a Mile Long and
Contained Many Names
Was Not Opposed.

Helena, April 22.-Tom O'Brien. the
rather celebrated convict and man OF
letters, is now a free man and is re-
stored to citizenship. He was given
his liberty from the Deer Lodge pris-
on yesterday.
Acting Governor Murray granted
the pardon some weeks ago, but the
board of pardons took no action o1
the case until last Saturday. How
ever, the board did not sign it's ap-
prevail until Monday, as it al desir-
ed to wait and see If any protests
would come in. There was not a
single protest.
The application for O'Brien's par
don was n of the strongest and most
voluminous eve presented to the gov
ernor. J. j. Ryan, clerk OF the board
Of pardons,- declares the petitions
were fully a mile long. They includ-
ed a petition from every member of
the jury that sent O'Brien to prison;
petitions from business men of Ana
conda, citizens generally of the town,
ministers of the gospel, the mayor OF
Anaconda, members of the bar, the
manager and employees of the Copper
City Commercial company, residents
of Warm Springs, officials and citizens
OF Silver Bow county.
This case has attracted unusual at
tention. 1t will be recalled that when
C'Brien made his escape he started
on a horse which belonged to the pris-
on wardens. He left the horse in a
place where the prison officials could
tains back of Anaconda and commenc-
ed writing a series of letters to the
Butte Miner, in which he graphically
r%ecounted his wrongs He said If the
Miner would SO advise he would give
himself up. He was advised to go back
t. the penitentiary and he did SO.
His letters attracted wide atten-
ton and created much sympathy for
him. AS soon as he was in prison
again. his friend, James Mccartney, at
once started to secure his pardon. His
efforts were successful and now Tom
O'Brien can face the world again and
become a good citizen.
