WAGES $7,5o A WEEK.
Joseph Lapott Charged With Not Prop
 erly Maintaining His Wife.

t~N@SAAAs&~A1AA4Aes
 A very lamentable case was heard by Judge Peasley in the city court, criminal side, this morning. Joseph Lapott was charged with failing to properly maintain his wife. He was defended by Judge Lowe. Lapott is a short, little man, unable to speak Eng fish. His wife did not seem to be in want of any of the creature comforts of life. She seemed to be a smart, clever woman. The evidence of both husband and wife was obtained through an interpreter.
 Lapott is employed by the Holmes, Booth & Haydens Go, member of the American Brass Go. Ills wages Is $7.5O a week. That was all there was to his story. He was simply unable to support his wife. Their three chil- dren are living in the old country, Ger many For the past month or so they have not been living together. They had been fin New York a short time, Lapott trying to get better work there. He came back to town ahead of his wife, New York having too many un- employed men to take care of. Since then Mrs Lapott has been living with neighbors and friends and her hus- band has been trying to get along as best he could on his miserable wages.
 While his wife was on the stand tell ing her story Lapott was in tears. He was found not guilty and was dis charged.

Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL.S BULLETIN.

Without exception every man, we- man and child who lives wants to pay for thing an amount less than it is worth. O'Neill's Real Estate Office is fortunately situated so that it can sup ply this demand. The house in ques- ton is a three-family affair on Wood street, that pays 10 per cent on a little less than $5,000. You can buy it for $4, TOO. do not need to tell you that this is a bargain. It pays more than 10 per cent on the purchase price, out of which you must take per cent for insurance, taxes and repairs. This leaves you per cent investment. Mir E. H. Hartman of New York, the noted financier, said, few days ago, that anyone who had 3 per cent real estate investment was very fortunate. Here is a per cent investment. If you pride yourself on your business sagacity 1t will take you just about enc hour to get up to my office and buy this place.
