ISSUES A DIVORCE ORDER.
Judge Evans Thinks That Marriages
Boon After Separation Should
Not Be Allowed.

"The court desires to say as matter
OF caution that any person granted a di-
vorce by this court who shall marry
again during the same term of court at
which the divorce was secured will have
their decree of divorce revoked" So
said Judge Evans. The statement was
made from the bench to the attorneys
and others congregated about the bar
In Webster City.
The divorce evil is becoming the great
est travesty of most courts. Indeed, of
late years 1t Is no uncommon thing at
all for divorced people to marry within
few days after obtaining their decree.
Not long ago at term of court held in
Webster City a man secured divorce
from his wife and then went direct to the
office of the county clerk from the court
room and asked for marriage license.
This sort of thing shows how lightly di-
vorce proceedings are regarded by some
people. 1t was to put a stop to traves-
ties Of this kind that Judge Evans issued
his rule from the bench. Judge Evans
position lays divorces liable to prosecu-
ton for bigamy if they disobey his man

A Great Victory for Hearst!
Des Moines. Ia. April d. 1ao

Des Moines, Ia, April 4, 1904.
EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:
The managers of the William Ran
dolph Hearst campaign in this city
are very jubalent over the news re-
ceived here to-day that two very i'm
portant victories over the trusts and
In favor of William Randolph Hearst
were won to-day, in The highest court
OF the nation, the United States
Supreme Court, which decided that
the city Of Chicago has the power to
compel the gas trusts to sell IS cent
gas to the citizens, it also decided
that the coal trust must produce It's
books In court. These twin victories
coming the same day and from the
same august tribunal are especially
notable as being the result of agita-
lions carried on by William Randolph
Hearst. In the opinion of Mr.. Hearst's
managers here they will have power
ful Influence in securing his nominal
tion for the presidency. The victory
over the Chicago gas trust is the
result of an unceasing battle by
Hearst's Chicago American against
the extortionate demands of the
trusb. The skirmlshes in the lower
courts have FRANKLY gone against the
citizens, but at last the highest court
in the United States completely vim
dicates the course of the Chicago
American. The victory over the coal
trust is more national in its scape,
and will be appreciated by the plain
people all over the United States.
The campaign resulting in this great
victory was personally conceived and
directed by Mr.. Hearst.
