OMAHA DIVORCE MILLS.
Nebraska Town Is Gaining a Reputa-
ton for Quick Work.

Omaha's divorce colony is growing
with rapldity and this city bids fair
soon to become one of the noted di-
vorce centers of the country. In the
number of divorces applied for and
granted Omaha leads Sioux Falls by
an overwhelming majority, says an
Omaha dispatch.
Omaha Is a respectable and conser-
vative western city, and the flocking
here of divorce seeking husbands and
wives is not encouraged. Yet the di-
vorce business is growing remarkably
fast.
In six months the three judges of
he equity branch of the district court
have granted 144 degrees, besides
hearing a large number of divorce
cases in which no decree was granted
and dismissing not a few for want of
prosecution. All told, 200 to 800 di-
vorce cases have been disposed of in
one way or another in the district
court here in six months.
The records show that It is not un-
common for a petition to be filed and
n decree granted the same day. This
has been done several times in the
last month. One case was that in
which the editor of a county newspa-
per in Western Iowa figured as de-
fendant Harriet r. ]. Hughes was
widow when she married A. P.
Hughes, four years ago, and was the
mother of a grown up daughter. She
charged desertion. Judge Sears heard
the testimony within few hours after
proceedings were begun and granted
decree of divorce and defendant to
pay the plaintiff $500.

Elephant Rock,

Elephant Rock, the last remaining
and the most colossal idol of the fast
fading western Indians, stands out
against the sky few miles northwest
Of Meacham, in the Blue mountains.
The tourist in making the journey
through the mountains by the old stage
road can look above him and see the
giant elephant, nodded In the rugged
and crumbllng stone as it Juts out
against the sky line, perfect in every
part, and he will wonder as he gazes
at the likeness at the perfect lines Of
the great hulk and its natural attitude
as It stands stretching longingly to.

Ont of His Element.

Il don't believe I'll be able to find
the room alone" frankly admitted the
guest as he took his key from the
clerk. He was accordingly intrusted
to the care Of the bell boy and for the
tenth time since his arrival escorted to
one Of only twenty rooms on the fifth
floor. THAT man." said the clerk, sis
perfectly sober. and IL he were in
Wyoming he could lose ME on the
plains in daylight, and do 1t easily,
while he would find his own way
through Stygian darkness, but he has
been in the house for three days and
is still unable to find his room alone.
It only suggests the perplexity of the
cat in a strange garret"-New York

A quiet, mild-eyed man, perhaps so
years of age, cool and calculating and
cautious in his speech, but soclable
withal and approachable is e. II. Har-
riman, president and general mana
ger of the monster Hartman system
of railroads of the United States, and
perhaps the leading railroad mag
nate in the world.
Although his special train consist
ing of seven coaches passed through
the city at 5:15 Sunday morning, Mr..
Hartman was up and dressed and
alert with eyes and ears for informa-
tion of the country through which he
was passing.
He expressed a desire to see the
wheat fields of Umatilla county, the
fame of which is world wide, and was
disappointed that he could see but the
ragged edges of the farms hanging
over the brows of the hills on the
north and south sides of the canyon.
One regret which he frequently ex-
pressed was that his schedule carried
him through the wonderful Grand
Ronde valley in the night time. as he
had heard of it in his New York
home and desired to look upon 1t and
verify the stories of it that had
charmed his ears.
Looking at Mr.. Hartman in his
every day short cut coat fedora hat
and soft-bosomed shirt. one would lit
tie think that he held the mastery of
the railroad situation in the United
States in the hollow Of his hand. and
that at his beck steamship lines. rail-
road systems and entire commercial
systems OF the world, rise and fall.
He shows no egotism and makes no
appearance of authority but is an
eager questloner and listener. a care
ful conversationalist. guarding his
statements with care and talking with
a reserve that gives out hint of un-
limited power in times of emergency.
Standing on the rear of his splendid
special car as his train came into the
depot here. he stretched his neck on
all sides for a view of the surround
ing country, and asked where the
Umatilla county wheat fields were sit
uated and expressed genuine regret
when told that the wheat belt proper
was several miles distant from the
city.
When asked about the prospects
for Hartman branch lines into re-
mote corners of the Northwest. he
said the officials on the ground were
investigating and would give out the
facts as they developed.

Gus chance a man named Hogg was
condemned to death under his juris-
diction. The day before the execution
Hogg sent for his executIoner, Bacon.
The prisoner pleaded for interference
in his case because of his claims OF re-
lationship to Bacon. The solicitor. al
ways ready with reply, answered:
'T have no proof of our relationship.
You are doubtless mistaken. At any
rate, the execution must take place. for
only in that way can matters be set
right Hogg is not Bacon until 1t is
dead" 1t is said the prisoner laughed

NEW CANADIAN FLAG.
French Residents Design a New Ma
tional Emblem.


After using four or five flags diff
fering from the Canadian flag proper,
French Canada has at last hit upon an
emblem which seems to come more
nearly than any of the others to ex-
pressing the real national aims and
desires of the French Canadians,
says a Quebec dispatch.
Although the new standard is not
assured of universal acceptance, 1t
has been virtually adopted and is be-
ing largely employed by groups of
French Canadians throughout the
whole of Canada and also for church
and other decorations in certain
French settlements in the New Eng
land states.
The new flag was suggested in sew
eral quarters more than a year ago,
but 1t suddenly sprung into general
use during the various celebrations of
the national festival of st. Jean Rap-
tiste, which have been held recently
in the principal centers of population
of the French Canadians.
The ground of the new flag is sky
blue and 1t is divided into four parts
by a large white cross, the arms Of
which run directly up and down and
straight across the bunting. In each
corner of the flag Is placed a white
spearhead or fleur-de-lis, while stand
ing out in the color of fire at the in
tersection of the arms of the cross is
representation of the Sacred Heart.
Visitors have always been struck
with the number of French tricolors
decorating the streets and public
buildings of Montreal, Ottawa, Que
bee and other parts of French Cana
da. This year the French colors are
still occasionally in evidence, but are
being rapidly displaced by the new
flag

Nebraska Potatoes

Marked attention is being
given at present to the diver
sity of Nebraska soil and its
products; and the people of the
state, by a series Of expert
ments, are being given some
very valuable information,
through the medium of Agri-
cultural bulletins issued from
time to time by the Chicago &
h-Western R'y.
The latest subject treated in
this series of pamphlets is the
culture of potatoes in the soils
of the northwestern part of the
state.
With an Introductory para
graph referring to the history
and production of this vegetable
in all parts of the world, the
pamphlet contains interesting
figures on the economic value
of this food product, and specific
information as to the best
methods of planting, the pre-
paration of soil and the cultiva-
ton and harvest of the crop.
The adaptabiltty of the soil
in Sheridan, Dawes, Box Butte
SCOTS Bluff and other Nebraska
counties has proven to be quite
marked, and much of the land
that has heretofore yielded
little or no revenue promises
by this means to bring larger
returns to the farmer.
This pamphlet is Of value to
everyone interested in western
Nebraska, and together with
the two recent bulletins issued
by the Northwestern Line, on
Macaroni Wheat and Alfalfa,
presents to the western farmer
some valuable knowledge.
Every farmer or ranchman in
western and northwestern Ne
braska should have a copy of
each of these bulletins. They
are sent free on application to
J. A. Kuhn, Assistant G. F. and
2. A., Omaha, Nebraska.
