Tie REFUSED TO BATTLE.
Peter Dickoph the Object Of Start
ling Accusations.

Nevada, Sept. l9.-For fifty-seven
years Peter Dickoph, wealthy Ger
man farmer living south of Story
City, lived life of single blessed
ness, and all was well. On the six
teenth OF last June Peter took unto
himself "frau" and it has been trout
BILE ever since. The story is told
that Peter made the assertion that he
would give up cool $500 to anyone
who would secure for him good
wife. Word was written across the
water to the "FaderIand" and a bux-
ON little German Miss of twenty
summers, with the rosy cheeks Of her
native land, came over, and accepted
the proposal Of Peter, and on june
16 the ceremony took place.
The sequel to this rather romantic
marriage is now in evidence in the Of,
fee of the clerk of the courts of this
county. Martha Dickopn. the wife,
has fled petition asking for an alb
soIute divorce from her aged spouse
temporary alimony in the sum OF
5000 and permanent aimony of $10,,
600. In her petition she alleges that
she came to this country from Ger
many for the express purpose of mar.
rying the defendant, Peter Dickoph,
through his misrepresentation that
he was but Al years of age, when he
was 81, and was everything desirable
in a good, kind and loving husband
She further states that his age has
impaired his health in manner to
make him an undesirable husband
and life companion for woman OF
her age. Furthermore she alleges
such cruel and inhuman treatment at
the hands of the defendant as to i'm
pair her health and endanger her life,
and says that he continually address
es her in vile and indecent terms
Another fact that she alleges as suf'
ficient grounds for a legal separation
is that Peter was not in the habit OF
taking baths regularly, in fact he has
never been known to take one since
his marriage, and that he was sc
dirty and filthy that the plaintiff was
compelled to leave his bed and board
on the 18th of August That Peter
was not as liberal hearted in his sup
port of wife as he was in securing
one, is evidenced from her allegation
that he would furnish her with nc
clothing, and actually gave her but
one silver dollar during their matri
monial career.

A GREAT RECORD.
Hard to Duplicate it in oskaloosa,

Scores of representative citizens
of Oskaloosa are testifying on the
following subject. Such a record of
local endorsement is unequalled in
modern times. This public statement
made by citizen is but one of the
many that have preceded.it and the
hundreds that win follow. Read it:
Mrs. John Loos, of Seventh avenue
east says:"My daughter suffered most
keenly with pain in the small of her
back and was at times wholly unfit
for work, in fact, was almost down
in bed. About this time we learned
OF Doan's Kidney Pills and got them
at Blakeslee Bros. drug store. After
taking them a short time she com
menced to feel better and they finally
set her kidneys to working properly
and with this change came the grad
ually loosening and final complete
removal of the backache. ! also used
Doan's Kidney Pills and the result in
my case was equally satisfactory,
Any one who doubts any particular
OF this statement will find it gladly
verified by calling at our house.

THE JEWISH new YEAR
World According to Their Calendar
is 5000 Years Old.

According to the Jewish calendar
this world is 1864 years old tonight,
and it has been 1884 years since the
Jews were finally overpowered and
driven into exile. Nearly 10000 Of
the members of this race win cege-
brate their New Years day in Amer.
lea this year, and 6.45s,OO0 in the
world.
This feast is observed as a holy
conyocation by all Israelites alike,
with one exception, The foreign
jews observe but one day, while the
orthodox Jews observe two.
Two days are observed practically
as one because Of the fact that the
ancient rabbis, before the Jewish cal
endar was finally settled, had to ap'
point a day and declare that it was
the first Of the year, The way they
gave the people the information con
corning this appointment was to send
messengers out to the mountain and
hill tops to build big fires. BY this
signal the people of the surrounding
territory were given notice OF the
coming holiday.
AS this was done even in Babylon
Rabc.. Samuel, who was the inventor
of the correct Jewish calendar now in
use, declared that it should always
be proper to observe two days, that
there might exist no reasonable doubt
as to when the year is ushered in.
The Jewish year is governed by the
moon and not by the sun.
Spiritually the day means one OF
repenting, or prayer, of forgiveness
and Of extending good wishes to one
another. The first half of the day is
spent in the synagogue. All of the
Jews gather within the synagogue
from a. m. to IL. While a great
many ceremonies are attached to the
festivities its sentiments, it is claim.
ed, are the main part of the whole
day.
