New York Wife Sues Husband for
Payment Claimed ON Divorce
suit Judgment.

Mrs. Almina Mabie OF New York has
filed a suit in the United States circuit
court asking that her former husband
Charles E. Mabie, now a resident Of
Omaha, be required TO pay her S2095 ALI
mony. which sum. she says is still owing
her from him as a result OF a decree OF di-
vorce granted by the Illinois courts. The
divorce was obtained in November, 1896
and he was to pay her SIS per month by
order OF the court. Up to September l,
1906, there was due her from her former
husband S2S25, of which only $3.50 had been
paid. The balance he has persistently de-
clined to pay The petition alleges that
about four years ago Mr.. Mabie left Illi-
uois for New York, where he remained for
some time, and then returned TO Illinois
and then removed to Nebraska in June,
1905, locating in Omaha, The plaintiff al
leges that she Is without remedy at law to
enforce the payment through the courts OF
Illinois and that her former husband is
now lucratively employed and is able to
pay her the almony decreed TO her She
asks that he be required to appear before
this court and answer why he should not
be compelled to pay the deficient alimony

Reformer Gathers, Mr.. Hennings found,
owed personal taxes for the period OF six
teen long years and in order to make him
pay them the tax authorities planned
to levy on his law library. The reformer
refused to pay them without being forced.
Despite all his fame as a reformer Mr..
Gathers appeared to have nervous air

quired anxiously for City Treasurer Hen

The latest addition to the list OF
probable senatorial candidates in case
there is a deadlock is Abe Ruef, the
Republican political boss of San Fran
cisco, who is said to control fourteen
votes in the Legislature. 1t is rumored
that Ruef is pulling wires to secure the
Endorsement of President Hartman of
the Southern Pacific, in which event
he may become a full-hedged candidate
for the senate.
Since the introduction of the several
northern candidates into the senatorial
fight considerable speculation is being
manifested as to what will hapen If the
south loses the senatorship. 1t is COM
mon talk among southern legislators
that the election of a northern man
may result in the defeat of the next
Republican state ticket or division of
the commonwealth. Speaker Prescott

he believes Flint is the only southern
candidate that can win.
