CODY SEEKS A DIVORCE. ,
Noted Frontiersman Makes serioua
Charges Against His
Wife.

North Platte, Neb., Feb. 13.-William
F. Cody Buffalo BID has instituted
proceedings against Louisa Cody for
divorce on the grounds that she has.
been guilty of cruelty. has tried to poi
son him, has refused to entertain his
friends at their home in this city and
in other ways has made the marriage
tie intolerable. The complaint charg-
ing these offenses was filed in the Dis
trict Court of Big Horn county, Wyo-
ming, January 9th and untf<rlast week
was suppressed.
The couple have lived together for
thirty-eight years and five children
have been born of the union. They
were married when Buffalo Bill" was
government scout and before Ned
Buntline, the blood and thunder nov
elist. had given his peculiar sobriquet
such prominence by making him the
hero Of the battles. sieges. fortunes
and hair-breadth escapes with which
his novels dealt. ~.
It is said that an interesting legal
fight will be waged and that the wife
will oppose the divorce. She is held
in high esteem by the people Of North
Platte. Wednesday night prairie fire
threatened her dwelling and the ctt-
zens turned out en- masse to fight back
the flames. 4
II have never been. on the trips my
husband took abroad" said Mrs. Cody.
81 have frequently asked him to take
me, but he has always had an excuse.
His sister. who lives on the estate in
Wyoming, has wanted him to get d.
vorce and he has listened to her until
he was persuaded against his reason.
Will is generous man and II l had
him to myself we could settle 1t all.
l hear he wanted to divorce me to
marry another woman"
Mrs. Cody is a Catholic and she has
not asked for a divorce because OF the
principles of her faith. rt

gin that work at once and could ba

quately equipped trade school by Sep.

Denver really cared to have It. It Ia
infinitely more expensive for the state
to kill boy than 1t Is to save him to
a lle OF usefulness and honor; and if
we persist in killing boys by neglect
and Indifference. the heart Of the na.
ton will collapse by fatty degenera.

they regard as their share of the land

been appealing to Congress to grant
them justice. claiming that they were
not bad Indians before 1877. and have

The time having passed for them to

Senate. and they went to the President
to ask that he help them to get what
they want. The President said he
would think the matter over. AS
Chief Joseph had been brave warrior
and a good citizen since he laid down
arms. the President was inclined to
sympathize with him. The $50 Indians

ton Of government land or its value

DISSolution OF parliament SSem8 Inn
minent.-Free Trade Unionists An
tagonized.-ResuIt Doubtful.
London, March 13.-No less than ITO
members of the House of Commons put
themselves on record last week as will
ing to turn over Balfour rather than
sacrifice their adherence to Mr.. Cham
berlain's out and out protectioniSt
principles.
AS result Mr.. Balfour has foregone
his personal policy of retaliation and
retains office only by the support of
those members of Parliament who
openly uphold preferential and protec-
tive duties. This section of the Unionist
party, though strong enough to decide
the fate Of the ministry, is not strong
enough to effect anything as an indi-
vidual unit.
The complications within the Union
ist party came during the week to an
almost Gilbertian climax. Even the
Saturday Review, which supports Mr..
Balfour's policy, holds that he lost
more than he gained by his compare
lively narrow majority Of 46.
The Cabinet itself, SO recently con-
structed, has been on the verge OF
serious split. During the week Austin
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer; Colonial Secretary Lyttleton,
and several minor members of the gov
erDment threatened to resign unless
Mr.. Balfour withdrew his support of
the motion which denounced Joseph
Chamberlain's proposed preferential
duties based on the taxation of food.
Beset within and without, Mr. Bal
four gave in to the Chamberlainites and
still further antagonized those free
trade Unionists, the Duke Of Devon
shire, Lord Balfour of Burleigh,
Charles T. Ritchie, Lord George Hamil-
ton and Sir John Gorst. formerly his
colleagues, and their supporters.
Experts in British elections express
diametrically opposed forecasts regard
ing the probable result of the appeal
to the country, which is now somewhat
impatiently awaited by the public. They
all agree, however, that neither Mr..
Chamberlain nor Mr.. Balfour, on their
respective planks of protection and re-
taliation, is likely to be returned to
power. Whether the Liberals or a CO.
alition of the Liberals with the Union
list free traders could secure a sufficient
majority to remain in power without
the support of the Irish party Is re-
garded as extremely doubtful.
The best balanced opinion Is that
when Mr.. Balfour either ends the ten
ure of the present government, or 1t is
ended for him. there will be a series
OF see-saw political evolutio1s. with the
Irish party holding the scales.

CATTLE CONVENTION NOTES.
Highly Optimistic Reports by the
President and Secretary.

Denver, March 15.-The convention
Of the Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association was called to or
Ter at the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday by President Conrad Shaefer
and welcomed to Denver by Manager
Geo. w. Ballantine of the stockyards.
In his address President Schaefer
urged the necessity of railroad legis-
lation.
In regard to the market for cattle
President Schaefer said:
Il believe that 1t is perfectly feas-
ible and practical proposition to build
our own market here in Denver. Cat
tlemen west of Denver can easily ship
this way, and n they made a regular
practice of this they will find less and
less occasion to go any further to find
a buyer. We can well afford to sell
at a lower price than at the river.
when we figure in the freight. the
shrinkage, the return fare for ship
pers, and the other expenses that are
incident to the journey of 600 miles
further. l believe that II the dele
gates to this convention would adopt
strong resolutions expressing the be-
lief that 1t is the part Of wisdom to es-
tablish and build up our home market.
that the moral effect Of this action
would be to advance the growth of
this market. We will all agree,
think, that home market for our
stock at Denver is thing greatly to
be desired by all of us, thing that
we can afford to labor for"
Secretary. Fred p. Johnson's report
showed that the association has
brought about extremely good results.
for the money expended. The legisla-
tion secured has been greatly needed.
and other laws, equally salutary, the
report ventured, would be secured ut
the next general assembly. An i'm
portant matter set forth in the report
was the fact that the agricultural col
lege has finally become of great use
to the cattlemen. 1t stated that since
the appointment Of E. II. Grubb as a
member OF the e'board Of regents OF the
institution, many kinds of reforms of
interest to cattlemen have taken place.
The report OF Treasurer T. s. Har-
per showed that the receipts for the
year have been $1.622.06. and the dis
bursements $1.392.67. leaving q bal
ance on hand OF $231.39.
