oNEsPoUsE IN IOWA AND ONE IN NEBRASKA

Judge Sears Thursday morning set aside
the decree of divorce granted to Mrs.
Zenetta Ball July g. The court, in his
finding, says the evidence on which the
original decree was granted was untrue and
false in substance, intent and purpose
Thus Mrs Ball finds herself with two
husbands on her hands, one living in
Omaha, Robert A. Ball, and the other
whom she married in Council Bluffs, Mark
A. Sweeney. No contest was made before
Judge Sears on the petition to have the
divorce decree set aside.
Ball, in his petition, set up that his wife
had luled him into nonresistance of the
original suit by telling him she was going
to withdraw the petition. Afterward, when
the divorce had been allowed and an
nounced, he grew angry because the woman
was receiving calls from Sweeney while she
had the custody of their two children.
Then it was Ball first filed his petition fol
a setting aside of theb decree. This was
late in October and one night soon after
Mrs. Ball that was. her brother and
sweeney hunted up Bail and she horse
whipped him, the others helping. Sweeney
and the wife's brother were fined in the
police court, but Mrs. Ball stuck close TO
the iowa side OF the river and was not
punished.
Sweeney and the woman were married in
Council Bluffs the day after the horse
whipping. Then Ball had Sweeney arrested
for marrying another mans wife" After
a hearing and q few days consideration
the Iowa Justice Of the peace found they
had not violated the laws of Iowa by get
ting married, although under the decree OF
the sister state Mrs Ball could not marry
until six months had elapsed Since Their
the couple have been living in Council
Bluffs and have the custody of the two
children, boy and girl.
Ball has a second suit pending against
sweeney for the alienation of his wife's
affections, in which he asks $4,000 dam
ages.
Judge Sears latest decision in the di
vorce case has the effect of reopenng &
and allowing Ball to put in an answer L
the original petition of his wife. Later thu
case will go to trial on its merits

IS SURE TO COME SOON:
4 GLANCE At ITS EFFECTS

New York, April 3.-In an unbiased
statement of fact, Henry Clews, the
veteran banker and trader, presents
his view of the situation in the far
eastern war. Mr.. Clews, basing his
theories upon the financial features Of
the war, is certain that the end is not
far off and that Russia must accept
terms of peace soon. In his weekly
market letter he devotes considerable
space to discussion of the question,
saying:
Peace rumors strengthen week by
week, and while Russia may reject all
overtures for time, just for effect, it
is certain that the end is not far dis
tant. Russias finances are near the
exhaustion point, and France, her
best friend, has refused further assist
ance. Contrast Russia's credit with
Japan's. Russia has issued only about
$250,000,000 bonds during the war, but
her last issue of $125, 100000 was fatty
turned down in every money market
in the world. Her bonds are steadily
declining in spite of the most remark.
able support from financial interests
ever witnessed. Japan, on the other
hand, has issued about $450,000,00O
bonds, including last weeks loan,
which was oversubscribed many times
the first day offered; while the Japan.
ese issues are steadily rising, partly
owing to success in the field and partly
because their credit was underesti-
mated at beginning of war.
Effects of Peace.
What the effects of ending the war
will be it is difficult to foresee. There
will undoubtedly be rapid expansion OF
commerce and industry in the far east;
Japan will recuperate quickly; but
how Paris will get over the strain now
endured remains to be proved. When
the war is over there will be less oc.
casion to support Russian bonds than
now, and they may sag when the big

MOST SPIRITED POLITICAL CON-
TEST OF RECENT YEARS
CLOSES IN CHICAGO.
HARLAN VS.. DUNN E
Both Candidates for Chicago Mayor
atty Claim victory-Both Are for
Municipal Ownership Of Street Rail-
ways, But by Different Methods.

Chicago, April 3.-one of the most
spirited political contests of recent
years was wound up in Chicago today.
Municipal ownership of street railways
has been the issue The leaders of the
opposing sides are the candidates who
will be voted upon tomorrow for the
mayoralty Of the city.
Harlan vs.. Dunno.
John M. Harlan, son Of Chief Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court, is the republican candidate and
Judge Edward F. Dunno Of the circuit
court is the democratic nominee. Both
candidates stand for municipal own
ership but by different methods.
Besides Harlan and Dunno Oliver
w. Stewart, prohibitionist, and John
Collins, socialist, are active candidates
for mayor.
Both Claim Victory.
The republican managers claim the
election of Harlan by 10000 plurality.
The democrats are still confident that
Dunno will have anywhere from 3d.
600 to $4,000 plurality. 1t is not
thought likely that the socialists will
poll more than 10000, one-flfth Of their
vote last November. No estimate is
made as to the prohibition factor.

Depression Sure In Russia.
The announcement of peace would
certainly have an exhilarating effect
here as well as all over the world,
especially in Paris. A depression in
Russia, however, must necessarily fol-

being impaired, but what is still worse,
it's pride has had big fall-sad for
Russia, but of great benefit to the
other European nations. France may
not unlikely desert Russia in fianan.
cial way rather than bear any greater
burden, and in that event it may be
instrumental in shifting her present
alliance from Russia to England. If
France ceases to help Russia finan-
cially, Germany, who has compare
lively few of her bonds, will be of
greater service to Russia, and the door
may be opened thereby for Russian.
