Mrs. Lizzie A Jaffray, through her
attorney. J. A. Hanley, has filed in the
district court a suit for divorce from
her husband, w. r. Jaffray. AS basis
for her suit Mrs. Jaffray alleges inf
deity. Mrs Jaffray states in her petit

PENDANT at Belleville, Ont, Sept. 30,
1856. and they lived together as hus-
band and wife until March l. 1904. Mr..

the Grace cathedral parish and after

New Way to Get Trade.-A new
method of advertising Davenport and
bringing shoppers to this city from the
surrounding country has been institut.
I'd by the big department stores here.
They have combined in a movement to
run free excursions to this city from
various cities along the river. The
firms which are doing this are the
Boston Store. J. II. c. Petersen's Sons,
H. A st. Onge & Co, and Reps, Jung4
& Co. OF course the visitors are eX-
pected TO visit the stores which are
giving the free excursion, and in order
TO get them TO do this, it has been pro-
vided that the visitors must secure
their return trip tickets at one of the
establishments mentioned The eXcur
sion already planned is to be run from
Muscatine next Tuesday. The steamer
w. W. has been chartered for that date
and will stop at all points between
Muscatine and Davenport. This is on
ly trial excursion and, if this one
proves successful, it is believed that
the practice will be continued in the
future. 1t is a great advertisement for
this city and will bring many shoppers
to Davenport to trade.

CLEVELAND, O., July 29.-The
boomlet of John D. Rockefeller for
mayor of Cleveland on the Republican
ticket grew several inches during the
night. The plan to have the main plank
in the platform an agreement Of Mr..
Rockefeller to pay all the taxes Of
Cleveland strikes the popular chord, and
Mayor Johnson is aghast. Mr.. Rookie
feller is hesitating over one thing only.
He fears that torchlight professions
will wind up at his house and his en-
thusiastic henchmen will trample down
his flower beds around the front stoop.
Already the battle cry has been
adopted, and "Rah for Rocky Is heard
on all sides. 1t has been suggested that
If Mr.. Rockefeller runs he should make
a canvas on an economical business
mans platform. He is being advised
also to say some cutting things about
the advisability Of the mayor Of Cleve-
land Staying home and minding his
own municipal business and letting
other cities run theirn."
A large delegation of prominent citi-
zens called upon Mr.. Rockefeller today.
The delegation told Mr.. Rockefeller Of
his long life among them and how
esteemed he is, after which the mayor
atty business came on. They told him
he was the only man in Cleveland who
would dare to run against Johnson and
be in the race at the finish. Mr.. Rookie
Teller blushed to the top of his hairless
head and made an appropriate reply.

MANILA, July 19.--Emilio Aguinaldo
testified today in the Renacimento libe!
case. The former insurgent leader de-
scribed himself as a farmer.
Three editors of the Renacimento, the
most influential Filipino newspaper,
were arrested on a charge Of libeilns
Capt Baker Of the constabulary, whom
they charged with great cruelty In the
Cavite campaign. Aguinaldo testified
tc gross outrages by the contabulary
and said ladronism was diminishing.
When Prosecuting Attorney Smith
cross -examin,d Aguinaldo, the former
insurgent leader became pitifully rat
tied. He absnaoned the attempt to
speak In Spanish and testified in the
Tagalog dialec; through an interpreter.
He was forced to admit he had been
familiar with the raids of Felizardo
and Montolon.
Just at this moment Aguinaldo was
dramatically and suddenly confronted
with five horribly tortured Filipinos
who had been rescued and succored
by constabulary. One of these, 70 years
of age, had had his tongue sliced, one
had been hamstrung, two others had
been hamstrung and their lips horribly
cut up, and one had his legs hacked off
by the Cavite ladrones. This scene
created an extraordinary sensation.
