calm and unbiased judgment whether
a child who has been thus developed
will not be better fitted for the work
in the public schools than one who has

the directress in one of the public
schools in Pittsburg, Pa. l might add,
by the way, that in a prize-winning
contest in which all the schools in Pitts
burg participated, there were relative
ly more prize winners in this school
than in any other. She said II hear
from the primary and more advanced
teachers that out of all the children in
their charge, those who have been
through the kindergarten are the most

In Trouble-Has a Strange
History.

r., --4---lN, Kan, Dec. 26.-Ger-
trude Dewey wife of Millionaire c. P
Dewey, formerly OF Chicago. has filed
suit in the district court of Riley coun-
~ asking TO. divorce ana alimony. Mr..
Dewey is the father of Chauncey
Dewey, now Uusar indictment for the
murder Of the Berry family. Mrs.
Dewey is his stepmOther. Chauncey
Dewey's mother was divorced some
years ago and Is now in Paris.
Domestic infelicity and incompatible
dispositions are the theme of many
pages of Mrs. Dewey's petition. Mrs.
Dewey says her husband owns property
worth from 100000 to S2.0O0,O0 She
says il has been accommodating since their
marriages in 1856. His wealth is in
United States Steel stock and Kansas
real estate principally. She prays for
enough TO support herself in ease and
concfc-t. the court to measure that ne
cessit. +"
Several years ago c. P. Dewey came
alone to Manhattan without ostenta-
ton, and made himself a factor in the
development Of the resources Of Man
haitian and northwest Kansas. He
settled here and began to acquire
property in Riley county. He purchased
a small ranch I'm RaWlins county and
added to his possessions here, and in
the short grass country as if his East
ern flow OF wealth were boundiess-
Property interests accrued until Mr..
Dewey controlled 3 large portion Of
three counties in nor thWestern Kansas
and was paying a co: ftderable portion
OF the tax OF Riley cou ety. Mr.. Dewey
became known to everyone in this part
of Kansas as the man from Chicago.
That was about all they did know and
the secrets of his early life have been
unrevealed even to his best friends.
A year or two ago Mrs Dewey ar
rived in Manhattan. She was quiet,
reserved and unassuming. She took up
her residence in one OF the dwellings
Mr.. Dewey had erected for Manhattan
tenants. She did not become wen ac-
quainted here, she was too reserved.
Her suit for divorce has caused great
surprise.

Chauncey. is now under Indictment for
