DIVORCE CASE
SIX YEARS OLD

An old divorce case was fesurrected
this morning by the filing of com
plant in the county clerks Office. The
summons in the case was served on
the defendant, George Williams, in
November, 1898. His wife, Katie
Williams, asked for u divorce on the
grounds that Williams failed to support
her and that the temperaments of the
couple were SO Numerically opposite
that it was impossible for them to
live together.
Mrs. Williams evidently feels that
she has given her negligent spouse
ample time to make restitution but he
has evidently failed to grasp the oppor-
tunity offered, and she now asks for
the divorce.

SEEING THE FAIR

st. Louis. Oct. 29.-The thing that
disturbed John most. now that the Mis-
souri, mosquito has been rut out of ac-
ton by the frost. is the fact that he can
not be at seven or eight places at the
same time. He has already lamented
the absence of eyes in the back of his
head, but now that so many interest
ing events are being crowded into the
days as the fair wears its close the
inability TO see everything that is go
ing on is more eXasperating than ever.
Yesterday afternoon John wanted 10
attend the session of the Nut Growers
convention in Congress hail. but how
could he do that and at the same time
witness the wonderful high diving ex-
hibition that is given on the Pike? 1t
turned out, however, that the first dive
was at 1870 in the forenoon, and so we
hi plenty of time to see this wonder
full feat and take in the Nut Growers
convention afterwards. The diving eX-
hibition is merely one of the many di-
versions that are now provided by the
exposition management free of charge.
And the diving exhibition is certainly
thrilling performance. Nine years ago
Kearney p. Speedy. of St. Louis. made
successful dive off the Eads bridge.
Since that time he has travelled ali
over the world giving exhibitions of his
daring. On the Pike he dives fOuF
times each day from a tower 100 feet
high into tank of water Sc inches
deep. Il feet long and feet wide. It
doesn't take long for q great crowd 10
gather after he climbs 10 the top of
the 100 foot pole. While at that dizzy
height he goes through a lot of man
euvering just to work up" the crowd
and its nerves on edge. Suddenly
man comes gliding through space and
there is a great splash, and while
thousand spectators hold their breath
he climbs out of the tank we'll soaked
but unframed. The thing that gives
such hazard 10 the performance and
which whets the curiosity of the crowd
is the smallness of the tank and the
fear that he will butt his brains our
on the bottom of the tank or miss The
tank entirely.
OF course neither Jane nor | wanted
to attend the convention of the National

Nut Growers association. What could
be dryer than lot of papers on rails
ing nuts written by nut growers? Jane
said, IF it were a convention of nut
crackers there might be something in
it."
But / am glad that we went. 1t was
as good as a show on the pike Here
were a lot Of full-grown men, appar-
emily of sound mind, who were not in
terested in anything but nuts, and
they started in by wrangling over the
question whether growth of nut trees
should be called a grove" an or
chard," or a 'plantation"-a very
"nutty" problem, indeed, one that
would have been settled by woman
and her gavel in a minute. But these
men take the nut business very SCri-
.Ously and, to tell the truth, we learned
a whole lot about the growing in
dustry in this country. Indeed. il is
the first time l ever knew that there
was nut industry in this country.
But all this time we were missing a
whole lot of things. Five hundred
chicks were Matched out by incubators
over in the live stock barns, and CO.
rOpOne was being tested on the Plaza
of st. Louis. there were concerts by
several famous bands, and who knows
but what several air ships were flying
through the air? T. A. d.

COMPLAINS ABOUT
OFFICIAL BALLOT
C. w. McCaskrin Will Ask Injunction
to Prevent Printing and
Distribution.

George W. McCaskrin. through his
attorney. S. R. KCnwOrthy. today gave
notice to County Clerk Hubbard that
application would be made before
Judge Emory c. Graves in the Rock
Island county circuit court tomorrow
for an order of injunction restraining
the county clerk from issuing. publish
ing or distributing the official ballots
for next Tuesdays election in the form
in which they have been prepared.
The claim is made by Mr.. McCaskrin
that the appellation, Independent at
the head of the column under which
his name appears as an Independent
candidate for the legislature is dis
played in much smaller type than that
by which the other parties are desis
mated, that his own name is likewise
made TO appear in much smaller type
than the other candidates. and beyond
all this the phrase three votes) does
not appear after his name, disCrim-
nation that he alleges applies only
to himself and the socialistic candi-
date for the legislature for the Thirty
third district
The hearing on the application will
probably occur before Judge Graves
tomorrow morning.
Speaking of the source of Mr.. Nc
Caskrin's grievance this afternoon,
County Clerk Hubbard said that in
the matter of three votes" after his
name that was a matter that had been
entirely in Mr. McCaskrin's own hands.
that the ballot was made in accordance
with the certificate of the secretary of
state with whom Mr.. McCaskrin had
filed his papers. AS far as the size of
type is concerned. said Mr.. Hubbard,
the sample ballot is no criterion for
how the official ballot will appear.

Rock Island would find an auditori-

When | was in Lincoln. last week, "
he continued. Il made some inquiries
concerning their coliseum. and was
informed by the secretary of the Lin

the best public enterprise their bust

Rock Island might sometime become
interested l looked the building over.
It is about 1O0X125. one story. with

have more $500 crowds than any
other size This is q large number
and it is only on occasions of great
political rallies when the capacity Of
the house is taxed"
To the question of size best adapted
rob, u If,
cost and how the money might be
raised, Mr.. Van Calder said that in his
opinion an auditorium with seating
capacity of 2,5G0 on main floor and
galleries would be best found for Rock
Island. He would simply have a speak
ers' platform, but not build for ste &c
and scenery. as the Illinois supplies
the demand in that line. With the diff
ference in size and cost in material
between Lincoln and Rock Island he
believes an auditorium of the capacity
Indicated could be built for $4,000.

GAME CALLED OFF
Geneseo High School Violated Rules
and There Was no Football
Contest Saturday.

The football team of the Rock Isl
and high school returned Saturday
evening from Geneseo without having
added any further scrimmages to its
record. TIE team arrived in Geneseo
on schedule time and proceeded 10 the
field where ii was expected TO line up
against the Geneseo high school
eleven.
The Geneseo boys. however, after
having received number of defeats
this season. were evidently fearful
that they would be again disastrously
beaten at the hands of the Rock Island
squad So DESTROYS were they of get
ting some glory that they ran in
couple of outsiders. Clarence Wanner,
a fielder on the Rock Island baseball
team of last season, and Orlin Jeffries
were formerly members of the Gene
SEQ high school and as such had won
some glory on the gridiron while play
ing on the different teams of the
school. At present neither is connect
cd with the school and cannot be on
its football eleven. according to the
rules governing high school contests.
This fact was not needed by Gene
SEQ. who placed the two men in their
lineup with the hopes that their play
ing would have a favorable bearing on
the final result. The Rock Island play
ers discovered the trick and refused
to enter the game. There was much
arguing over the matter. with the
Geneseo authorities refusing TO yield
to the rules. Finally the game was
called off.
The rooters of the local school. in
Guiding several of the megaphone club.
who had paid their fares to Geneseo.
were greatly disappointed. The Rock
Island team had left feeling confident
of adding another victory.
The affair places the relations be
tween the two schools in a strained
condition. and may result in the an
nual GeneseO contest being thrown out
of the schedule hereafter.
Two teams composed principally of
members of the freshmen and sophie
more classes played a close game Sat
urday afternoon at Thirty-secOnd
street and Sixteenth avenue. The fin
al score was 10 to o in favor OF the
