RuIInE on Divorce Inv.

In the case of Mida A. Branson against
Isaac r. Branson, a divorce suit instl-
tuted in Hamilton county, the court says
an agreement between the parties to a
pending suit for divorce for the colusive
rendition of a decree will defeat the &C
ton and it is immaterial that one of the
parties may have supposed such agree
ment to be free from legal or moral wrong.
The decision is by Commissioner Ames.
Mrs. Branson sued for decree of divorce
and while the action was pending entered
into a written agreement with her hus-
band that in consideration of her husband
not going personally upon the witness
stand to testify against her in her suit
against him for divorce she would make
no application for alimony; that in case
divorce should be granted she should have
separate to her certain property and
money which she claimed as her separate
estate, and she would execute to her hus-
band quit claim of all dover estate.
This agreement was identified by the wife
in the course of her cross-examination
and brought to the attention OF the court,
who therefore dismissed the suit.

The court has reversed and remanded
the suit of Elizabeth A Healy against
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail
road company; error from Douglas county.
Mrs. Healy sued upon a certificate of
membership issued to Cornelius r. Healy.
in the insurance organization known
the Burlington Relief Department" This
latter suit is reversed because Mrs. Healy
had formerly sued the company to re-
cover damages under the statutes for
causing the death of her husband. The
court says that a suit by an administrator
OF a deceased employee OF the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad company,
who was a member of the relief depart
ment of that company, TO recover dam
ages under the statutes for wrongfully
causing the death of said employe is
bar to subsequent action upon the MEM

No Appeal from Tax Levy.
The commissioners of Lancaster county

make no provision for an appeal from the
order of the county board in making the
tax levy and attempt to prosecute
such an appeal confers no juricdic-
ton in the, district court TO review such
order Judge Barnes wrote the decision
and ne says that it would seem clear that
the legislature never intended TO confer
jurisdiction on the court by appeal to re-
view or control the discretion of the county
board in the matter of levying taxes. To
grant the district such power would in
effect substitute it's discretion for that OF
