DIVORCE DECREE
IN HALF AN HOUR
IOWA HUSBAND COULD EOT APP
PRECIATE WIFE'S JOKES.
Des Moines Court Grants the Petition
Of Mrs. Rosalie Pohlman, Who Says
Her Husband Is Both Negatively
and Affirmatively a Constant House

Special to The Journal 81
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 21.-Pained
beyond endurance because her hus-
band, instead of appreciating her eff
forts at humor, give her cold stare
whenever she cracked joke at the
table, Mrs. Rosalie Pohlman has ap-
piled for a divorce from John Pohl-
man. It was granted by Judge Nc
Henry of the district court within
half an hour after the petition was
filed, on the strength of the petition
and accompanying affidavits.
A judge would be hard-hearted,
indeed, who would not grant a divorce
on such petition as that remarked
the deputy clerk as the decree was
! filed.
Mrs. Pohlman prides herself on a
| certain ready humor, and in her care
fully worded petition she sets forth
among other things:
"This plaintiff, at the time defendant
married her, was in good health and had
a fine constitution and was able to
work very hard and endure much and
still enjoy life, and yet plaintiff was
always of a nervous and sensitive or
ganization so as to be seriously injured
by the sneers and insinuating remarks
and continual chickering's and fault

New York, president of the National
Christian League for the Promotion of
Purity, and for twenty years editor OF
the Christian Union, denounced and
repudiated the work Of the conference
alton to include all existing purity or

Mrs. Grannis said the National Chris

that has had it's inception . in La
Crosse, and Will not send a delegate
to the Chicago conference in 1906,
when the permanent organization Will

Following the bishop, DR.. Thomas
Nicholson, president Of the Dakota
university, presented some facts in re-
gard to the conference college. Among
other things he said that the college
has at the present time the largest en-
7rollment in it's history, the number OF
students having increased about 42 per
cent over that of last year.
The annex to Memorial hall has been
completed, and still the school has not
sufficient room to accommodate all
those who make application for admis-
sion. He said the president had been
working hard on the financial problem
of the university, and has succeeded
in paying off $1,000 of a $25, 5000 debt.
He appealed to the pastors of the con-
ference to assist him in clearing up
the balance of the account before the
first of the new year.
At the business session yesterday
afternoon, the various classes working
toward ordination in the ministry were
called and passed by the bishop as fol

The Political Evils of War.

The political evils of war are almost
as weighty as the moral Probably
no government in modern times has
been able to carry on a serious con-
test that has not been attended with
extravaganza and dishonesty; at any
rate, the United States has never
been able to do SO. From the time
that the soldiers suffered needlessly
at Valley Forge on account of ineffi-
cient supply service and dishonest
contractors, down to the purchase of
army transports and "embaImed'
beef in 1898, profusion and pecu1ation
have invariably attended our military
operations. This evil, moreover, US
ually Outlasts a war because loose and
irregular methods of conducting pub
lie business are not speedily reformed.
After the Civil War, washington was
still infested by swindling contractors
who found not few choice pickings;

That SeantOr Eaton must waive his
