The GAMING MANIA
Annie Essences Story About Her
Husband Speedily Results
in Divorce.
Mrs. VIM. G. Moore Tells How Her
Husband Tried to Please
His Employers.

Annie R. Esse11e appeared to day among
those who wanted to be separated from
their husbands and her sad story resulted
in a decree. The plaintiff told how, after
living with her husband for twenty years,
she had decided that the best thing to do
was to move to Montana and thus get her
spouse away from the evil associations of
some of his gambling friends She testi-
fed that, with this object in view, she
sold her household goods and gave her
husband the money with the understand
ing that he go west and prepare a home
for her. He took the money but did not
leave Minneapolis and proceeded to lose
it all at the gambling table. Since then, he
has never offered to, live with, or support
his wife.
William B. Fiske, an oldtinne resident,
secured a divorce from Marie B. Fiske,
% years his junior, on the ground of de-
sert1on. The husband sent his better half
a draft at Chicago for her journey to Min
neapolis. She Endorsed and returned the
draft and since then there has been no
communication between the two. y,
Many other disappointed persons APP
peared in Judge Harrison's courtroom this
morning and sought relief at the hands of
the law. Maud Chantry secured a divorce
from Joseph M. Chantry as did Alpha M.
Mayo from Samuel S. Mayo for desertion.
Nela G. Moore secured a divorce from
William G. Moore, son of the university
professor, on the ground of desertion. The
two were secretly married and month
later Moore went to work at Bay City,
Mich, where his employer expressed a
preference for single men. According to
the wife's testimony the husband under
took to please his employer to the ex-
tent of forgetting that he was married. B
Other legal separations to-day were:
Robert Chairman from Jennie chatham,
desertion; Clara E. Evans from David W.
Evans, desertion; May Rowland from
George D. IIowland cruel and inhuman
treatm Catherine Magnusen from John
Magnusen cruelty; Edward Buckson from
Anna. Buckson, desertion; Mildred Hoover
from Charles Hoover, desertion; Katie Os-
rowitz from David Osrowitz, nonsupport
and desertion., Mrs. Osrowitz stated that
she and her husband had gone for some
years under the name of Brown as it was
easier to pronounce than their right name.

BROKE RECORD ON PIANOS
Minneapolis Firm Figures in the
Biggest Piano Deal Ever Made.

The biggest single purchase Of pianos
in the whole history Of the trade was re-
Gently made by Foster & Waldo Of this
city. There were exactly 1000 pianos in
the lot-all high-grade pianos.
It Is record breaker among all the big
sales of pianos and has; attracted much
attention on the part Of the music trade
papers A little over year ago the same
firm purchased 600 pianos and this trans
action was considered as almost marvel
Gus, but the new record overtops 1t so
much that there is no comparison.
To carry these 1000 pianos to Minneap-
oils 100 freight cars will be called into
action and it, will take three trains to do
the hauling.
This great purchase by a Minneapolis
firm speaks much for Minneapolis as a
selling center and for the prosperous con-
dition of the great northwest.

sPOILS NEW PAVING
Ripping Up Of the Street Paving Not
Allowed Elsewhere as
Here.
Holes Made to Put in Connections
Are Numerous-They Show
Scars.

La Crosse has taken stand that Min
neapolis might initiate with profit. That
city has refused to allow forty blocks of
new pavement to be ripped up so that
conduits may be laid for wires which are
now overhead. The common council of
La Crosse was all stirred UP over the dis
cussion Of the question. City engineers
in large cities were questioned as to the
effect Of tearing up paving upon its life
and usefulness. The consensus was de-
cidedy against any disturbance Of pave
ment.
That city of 10000 or more inhabitants
has a rule that all water and sewer con-
nections must be made every twenty feet,
or for every lot front, before pavement is
laid. For twenty years it has been the
custom to give property owners sufficient
notice ahead to allow the work to be done
by them instead of by the city, AS re-
suit, the pavement lies uninjured for
years, save for an accidental breaking OF
pipes now and then.
Tearing Holes In 1t.
The new Tenth street pavement, sup
posedly one of, the finest bits of road in
the city, whose beauty lies in it's abso-
lutte smoothness and uniformity of sur
face, was torn up near Second avenue S
within very short time after its compile
ton to make house connection. 1t was
torn up about the same time clear across
at Third avenue to lay conduit. The
scars can easily be detected.
The new Nicollet avenue brick pave
ment has just been torn up in several
places at Tenth street to make connec-
tions with remodeled fiat building.
Above Thirteenth street 1t was torn up
within twenty -four hours of the time that
the brick had been laid for similar pur-
pose. The concrete base which Is in
process Of hardening for pavement to be
laid this fall was ripped up at Nicollet
and Grant street before 1t had been down
thirty-six hours, it Is reported, to- make
certain connections that might easily have
appeared necessary few days before.
During the wholesale onslaught on the
pavements made this summer by electric
and telephone companies, some Of which
paving was restored fairly well, it was the
custom to set in boards In lieu of brick
or asphalt until the base had hardened
and settled. At Tenth street yesterday
the sand was pounded down as we'll as
might be and the bricks put back at once,
making an unsightly lot Of hummocks
in the pavement. ri =.-
