Sioux City, Nov. 22.-The Van
Week divorce case, in which the wife
was plaintiff, and which was charact-
erized by extremely sensational feat
ures, promises to have tame ending,
Mrs. Van Week having arranged for
the dismissal of her suit for divorce
against her husband, Balfour H. Van
Week, a farmer worth 100000, resid-
ing near Westfeld, and formerly pro-
fessor in the Boston Institute of Tech
.nology. This action follows a thrill
ing race by train for the possession Of
her children, and a wild hack ride at
night thru the streets of Sioux City.
with her husband in pursuit on foot.
In order that she might secure her
children, Mrs. Van Week, after she had
begun suit, came to Sioux City and ar
ranged with her attorneys, for an
agent who would assist her.
Sheriff Peter Arendt. of Plymouth
county, who was to serve the papers
upon Professor Van Week at the farm
house a mile and half from West
field, accompanied by the Sioux City
agent went to Westfeld. Before they
left Sioux City hackman was en-
ployed to be at the depot here to meet
the Milwaukee and st. Paul train on
which the fleeing woman and her chill
dren were to come At Westfield, Mrs.
Van Week failed tor meet the officers
in town, as she had arranged and so
they went to the farm. The Sheriff
and the agent, explaining their errand,
followed the professor into the house,
while Mrs. Van Week started the chill
dren, Elizabeth, aged 8, and Philip,
aged 4, down the road thru the biz
gard. The boy was dressed in a Bus
ter Brown suit and his little bare legs
We're cut cruelty by the snow. She
followed on run.
Professor Van Week, stunned by
the serving of the papers, did not miss
his wife and children for an hour after
the officers had gone, altho it is sus-
pected that Miss Hayes, the stenogra-
pher, may have told him, for it had
been planned to have her accompany
the wife and children to Sioux City.
The Sioux City officers and the sheriff,
anticipating trouble, took Mrs. Van
Week to the depot waiting room, and

Fred Mahannah of the county schools

conditions there is a dearth of teach
ers and more than a dozen schools will
have to close if not supplied.
Just now the schools of the county
are facing a crisis which will either
be the first act in the drama of their
passing or revolution of the manage
ment. A gradual decline in wages has
been going on in several parts of the
county while, however on the other
hand few townships have raised the
wages. The new school law governing
certification of teachers is blamed for
the present shortage which has fright

RAILWAY WORLD
REPAIR SIXTY MILES OF TRACK
IN THREE DAYS
Salt Lake Establishes Record for
Quick Work-ls Thanked by Ma
rooned Passengers for
Kind Treatment

The Salt Lake road made a record
during the recent washouts for quick
work in repairing the line. One thing
that the marooned passengers appreci-
ated while on the desert was the fact
that they We're provided with three
square meals a day. No efforts were
spared on the part of the officials of
the road to do all that could possibly
be done to add to the comforts of the
isolated people.
Washouts were experienced for sixty
miles north and east of Calientc. The
number of places that the ballast was
washed away is not known, but several
large bridges were washed away during
the cloudbursts and all of this damage
was repaired so that the track was in
condition to allow the passage of trains
within three days from the time the
first trouble was experienced.
Not only was traffic stopped by the
bad track, but a landslide occurred a
few miles north of Caliente. The rain
softened the earth which held up sew
eral tons of rocks and they come tum-
bling onto the track.
Trains are not making quite as good
time as before the trouble occurred on
account of the necessity of proceeding
slowly over the soft track in several
places. Nevertheless railroad men are
congratulating the Salt Lake upon this
repair work, which required the SER
vices of 500 men, and was done in rec
ord breaking time.

WHIPPED BY HIS WIFE

There is, unfortunately, something of

this is because we ever have them 'in

ognomies for our benefit-and dollars
and they pose as heroes among a
host of emulous and admiring fol-
lowers.
Even to the sane, decent and con-
serVative citizen it must be admitted
there is something fascinating in the
brute strength which enables a man,
provided, to defend himself against
the assaults of his fellow man. and
eVen-when the game is so planned
to overpoWer him. In a straight, fair
clean and genuine knockdown fight the
average man sees nothing so very
heinous and he can understand even
the adulation lavished on the profess

other for dubious glory and an agreed
percentage of the gate money. OF
course, it isn't ethical to admit this,

CIRCUS TENTS SPREAD
AT PRAGER PARK
OPENING PERFORMANCES WE'RE
GIVEN YESTERDAY
Features of the Program Is Daring
Backward Leap From Height of
Twenty-Five Feet, unheraded by
the Management of the Circus

The Norris & Rowe circus gave its
opening performances at Prayer park
yesterday afternoon and evening. The
attendance was only fair. More beau
tiful horses than are owned by Norris
&c Rowe seldom have been seen with
any circus and there is no question that
the performers did their best to please
the patrons of the show.
A startling performance of only a
few seconds duration is that of a man,
whose name has been left wholly un-
heralded by the management of the Cir
Gus so far as can be discovered, as
there was not program in the vicinity
! of the place yesterday afternoon to in
form the patrons of what they might
expect.
The performer referred to, whatever
his name may be, makes a backward
leap through space from twenty-five
foot height, turns a back sommersault
and lands safely on large cushion.
The apparatus stands at one side and
consists of a ladder twenty-five feet
in height At the top of this is a
platform of about four square feet. Al
the base of the ladder a hands height
from the ground. is another platform
of equal dimensions with the one
above it.
Daring Backward Leap
The performer steps out to the edge
of the upper platform and faces the
ladder. Slowly and gracefully he leans
over backward. A death-like silence
comes over the audience. In an in
stant the man loses his equilibruiri;
he drops through the twenty-five feet
of space like a plummet and his hands
strike the edge of the lower platform
with slight slap. The sommersault
| is completed and the performer lands
| lightly on his feet on the large cushion
1t takes the audience a moment to re-
cover from it's amazement; then he is
greeted with a terrific applause.
Not only once does the performer play
so recklessly with death, but returning
| to the top of the ladder he again makes
the daring leap. 1t is one of the most
hair-raising stunts ever witnessed at
any circus. 1t is one redeeming feature
of the Norris & Rowe's exhibition.
Norris & Rowes clowns are inno-
Gently funny, especially so when, dis
guised as soldiers of several nations
| in much used uniforms, they haul out
a huge linoleum rolled up in the share
of q cannon and proceed to load it with
everything they can lift to it's mouth
including a little lad who probably is
the son of one of the clowns. A pistol
report follows and the cartridge falls
through the opposite end of the artil-
lery.

S. P. WINS LEGAL FIGHT
Western Pacific Is Restrained From
Building Wharf

by ASSOClaleG I'TcSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-United
States Circuit Judge Morrow today
handed down decision in the case of
the Southern Pacific company against
the Western Pacific Railroad company,
generally known as the Gould line,
which is seeking to obtain terminal
facilities on the eastern or Oakland
side of San Francisco bay.
Every contention of the Southern Pa
cific company as to rights of way and
precedence along the bay shore was
sustained by Judge Morrow. The judge
also granted an interlocutory decree OF
injunction restraining the Western Pa
citic from interfering in any way with
the work of the Southern Pacific in the
extension of Wharves from its bulkhead
to navigable water.
The legal fight was brought about by
an attempt made by the Western Pa
cific to construct a wharf and build
tracks so as to get ferry accommoda-
tions in Oakland.
AS soon as the decision was handed
down the attorney representing the
Western Pacific signified their inten-
ton of appealing the case and asked
for a stay of execution for a reasonable
time in which to draw up their appeal
and study the decision. A stay of exc
cution was granted for ten days, at the
eXpira ton of which the decree will be
entered, and if more time is wanted the
Western Pacific can then present its
claims and gain more time. Until the
order is entered and the injunction
made permanent the conditions remain
as they have been during the continu-
ance of the suit.
