TWenty-six Divorce Suits Filed
in the EmpOria Court.
All Sorts Of Reasons Given for
Seeking Separation.
DISCRETION AND ABUSE
Most of the Women Claim Cruel

DISCRETION AND ABUSE

Emporia, Oct. 12.-There are TWEEN
ty-siX suits for divorce filed in the dis
trict court for the coming term The
same number of women are asking for
relief as are men, thirteen of each.
The largest number of reasons given
are by women, who charge desertiOn
and non-suppOrt. OF these there are
ten. OF the ten, more than half are
from the wives of railroad men, or to
be more definite, from Santa Fe men,
as this is the only road represented.
Five suits are filed charging cruelty
and drunkenness, and two of these are
from men. One man says his wife
chased him with a butcher knife and
as she is large and strong, he was in
fear of his life. Another says that his
wife has a habit of getting drunk and
bringing strange men to his home.
Under the cruelty head one woman
says her husBand used to call her big
devil and chase her with a butcher
knife, and one time he started after
her with a club. Her father happen
ed to be near and stopped the man
with the club. The same man, it is
charged. took their baby outdoors in
winter and pinned him on the clothes
line with ciothespins, and kept the
mother away with a club.
One man left his wife because she
could not support him in comfort, and
said as he went out the door: I'm go
ms " 44AAN q WOuldu lHdL can support
me and herself" He never came back.
and she thinks that he found what he
was looking for. One woman got $24O
OF her husband to pay her expenses
while on trip to England to see her
kin She went to Indian Territory,
however, and the, only foreign thing
she saw was a Frenchman, and she
spent the husbands $240 on him.
Sixteen of the parties suing have
children. and ten have none. Eleven
of the divorces are asked for on the
ground Of neglect Of duty, plain
drunkenness and adultery. One man
asks a divorce because his wife takes
long buggy rides. He cited one case
where she went out riding on the 18th
OF September and did not get back IN
I'll the Path of the same month. He
says she went out with another man.
OF the twenty-six persons interested.
only three are foreigners. the rest
Americans. Most Of the men asking
for divorce say that their wives are
bad housekeepers. and made them GET
their own meals, sweep the floors and
care for the children, while they 20

Galena, Kan. oct. Regardless
of the fact that the Lanyon Zinc COM
pany, one of the largest consumers of
zinc ore, is still out or the market,
there Is a marked increase in demand
in the Missouri-Kansas mining dis
trict this week. The highest basis
price for so per cent ore paid today
was $4S, making the top grade worth
SAT- The highest price paid last week
was $46. On account of the beginning
of cold weather. which will result in
curtailing the district output, the pro-
ducers expect the price to improve.
Lead ore is still in good demand at
$3.50 to SIS per ton.

BEEr oRoP RIPENING SLOW.
But the Garden City Vegetable win Be
Richer in Sugar.


Garden City, Kan, Oct. 12.-It is
pertinent just now for those interested
to ask, will the factory, delayed in its
completion as it is. have to wait for
the beets? A survey yesterday of a
large area Of the very best beet crop
west of Garden City, lying between
here and Deerheld. shows that but
very few beet tops have yet indicated
the least sign of ripening
The first evidence of ripening beets
are their tops, which must turn yellow.
or partially so. Very few tops have
begun to turn at all yet. The great
majority OF the fields seen in this re-
gion are very green, and this would
indicate that some days yet must
elapse ere the ripening will come.
The weather has Influenced this
matter of ripening a great deal. The
heavy rains of a short time ago pro-
longed the term of maturing so that
more sugar Is being added to the beets.
It has been feared by the sugar COM
pany that the sugar contents would be
rather light here this season, but even
if this is true. the recent warm. bright
days and cool nights have made Just
the weather in which the sugar comes
the fastest.
