A FORWARD STEP.


The action OF the divorce congress,
which met in its second session at
Philadelphia, may not be wholly sat
isfactory to the few cranks the sub
ject has bred. but the congress has
taken a long step in the direction of
securing uniform divorce laws, and
that is about all we can expect to ac-
complish in the way of correcting
what has come to be a menacing so
cial evil, by legislation. The ques-
ton of marriage and all its attendant
relations Is essentially one of NOR
ais. but by lax laws in some states
and mistaken structures in others,
discreditable opportunities for anx-
ious ones to evade social obliga-
tons have been offered and taken adj
vantage of. Lawyers have been as
successful in finding all the holes in
the divorce code as they have in pick
ing openings in the Elkins bill.
Popular opinion has II that the
grounds for divorce are too fimsy
and insufficient. This may be true
in some states, but 1t is not general
ly so. In some states there are as
many as ten reasons, while the di-
vorce congress has agreed on six
with seven causes for annulment
The six grounds include all those
causes. which make our sense of de-
cency and justice revolt. They are
infidelity, felony. bigamy, desertion.
intolerable cruelty and drunkenness.
Since marriage is a legal state in
this country, partaklng OF the ma
ture of a contract, we must have
some way of legally dissolving that
contract. Not to provide for such
cases were to breed social chaos.
The trouble has been in too loose
provisions regarding the residence Of
parties necessary to bringing suit,
which permits one to set up resi-
deDce in some state where the facts
are not known and through collision

courts have been little lax in en-
forcing the rules regarding evidence
and collision. This latter condition
reflects on the apathy OF society
Some churches frown on divorces,
and It is gratifying fact that min
listers and other denominations are
assuming similar attitude Socie-

W. c. Edmundsen Attempts Suicide

Our community was startled last
Friday when message from Har-
Ian came saying that w E Edmond
son had taken dose of poison,
but by prompt measures his life
had been spared and although very
weak he would be all right in a
short time. We hear that various
troubles led him to take this step to
rid himself of his troubles which
we learn from reliable source,
we're of domestic character as
we'll as an attack on his personal
character, which according to a
local paper of Shelby county, was
taken into court, not proven and
charges withdrawn. So far as
learned he always bore an excellent
reputation in this county where he
was engaged part of the time as
section foreman on this branch of
the Rock Island.

MRS. GREEN DEAD
Died at Omaha Friday Last with
Heart Trouble, Age 81 Years.
Was Married March IA, 1853


The sad news came over the wire
from South Omaha to DIR. Newton
last week of the death of Mrs. AL
fred Green which took place at five
o'clock Friday morning at the home
of their daughter. The funeral ser
vices we're held there on Saturday
at two o'clock, and interment in the
local cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs. Green
resided in Extra for number of
years, moving to South Omaha last
summer on account of her failing

spected and esteemed by her large
circle of friends and acquaintance
who will be surprised to hear of her
sudden death. She leaves a hus-
band, son and two daughters to
mourn her death.

Christian Church Notes

"a working gospel for Today
will be the theme of the sermon
Sunday night. Subject in the
morning; THE Gospel, the Light
of God"
Miss Elsie Hunt has been chosen
of the Junior En-
deavor Society. Being earnest and
capable under her oversight the
society is sure to prosper.
Joseph Bell having had an oper-
alton performed on one of his eyes
is unable for the present to take
charge of the adult Bible Glass.
He sits in room with the blinds
down not from choice but from ne
cessity, in his case it not being
true that he loves darkness rather
than light.
The North Pole was much in evil
dence last Sunday afternoon at the
Audubon Township church. Some
body ought to get a move on them
selves and see that fires are started
in good time and the chu rch COM
fortably warmed, or the services
will have to be abandoned.
In response to the invi tation Civ
en- last Sunday night, Mrs. George
Martin came forward and made the
s'good confession" On Tuesday
afternoon she was buried in Bap-
tism into the likeness of the death
of her Lord and next Sunday morn
ing she will receive from the con-
gregation the right hand of fel.
lowship.
The Ladies Aid Society in con-
junction with the members of the
Senior Endeavor Society will hold
their annual bazaar in the Opera
House on Saturday, the eighth of
December. In connection there
with they will serve dinner and sup
per both of which will be first
class. Everybody cordially invited
to attend.
On Thursday evening, the goth
instant, one week from today, I'm
ion Thanksgiving services will be
held at the Congregational church
! the pastor of the Christian Church
delivering the sermon. 1t is hoped
that the citizens generally will at
tend and thus manifest their loyal
ty to the powers that be, who have
appointed the day.
The pastor and his wife attended
week ago the social given at the
home of Mrs. butcher, by the sis-
tiers of the Audubon Township
church and enjoyed themselves
thoroughly. The dinner provided
by the hostess was simply i'm
mense. We understand the ladies
will serve supper at the church on
the evening of Thanksgiving Day.
That large number will be pre-
sent goes with the saving.

was ripe enough to be harvested. the fierce daily winds harvested a good share of it and what was left little more than paid expenses. The wind
 blows terrifically there at times. MT. Wilbur says and after the grain is ripe. breaks off the heads and scat
 ters them on the ground. There has been an abundance of water for irri gating purposes and there has been no fear of the SaIton sea at Brawlev as yet. The main reason the Wflburs are leaving there is on account of the discouraging outlook in the way of water and other unfavorable condi- tons in a general way. The river from which their irrigating supply of water is taken, has a habit of cutting badly during high water and on ac- count of the location of the head and the canal of the irrigating system. there is grave danger that in the course of time, if there is any great amount of high water, the head gate and the entire canal system will be left high and dry.
 The overland trip was an interesting one' but not without it's cares and troubles. Reaching the Colorado river at Yuma, Mir. Wilbur found that there was no ferry in operation He finally engaged the services of one man who mad with him half dozen Indians.
