KEPT IN The DARK.
Mrs. DIR. Miles, Divorced without Her
knowledge, Sues to Set Aside Decree

The Miles divorce case is being
hammered out in district court this
AFTERNOON. This is the case, filed in
June, 1907, by Dora Miles, to set aside
the divorce granted her husband, in
November. 1905. The evidence in the
| case is extensive and includes deposit
tons from number of residents of
| home of the Miles.
The petition cites that DR.. r. H.
Miles secured a divorce from the
plaintiff by misrepresentation of facts,
things DIR. Miles did to get divorce.
She states that DR.. Miles came to To-
peka and sued her for divorce while
he was a resident of Lyndon, for the
purpose of keeping her in the dark"
This suit was started in September,
1905, she says, while she was visiting
her parents in Tarkio, Mo-, with his
consent. To further evade serving
regular notice on her of his intention,
he caused the notice OF petition to be
published in the Topeka Plain Dealer,
negro paper with a very small cir
culation, and with no circulation in
Lyndon. where there are few negro
residents
After securing a divorce from his
wife on plea that she was guilty of
extreme cruelty to him, the doctor left
Lyndon and later took unto himself
another wife. This suit makes it rath-
err embarrassing for wife No 2 who
will be left out In the cold in case the
court sees fit to set aside the decree.
Mrs. Miles claims in her petition
that she knew nothing of the divorce
granted her husband until the spring
of 1906, several months after she had
become an involuntary grass widow.
Among the dispositions taken in
Lyndon by the plaintiff are a few con-
corning alleged facts cited in the pc
tition. One is to the effect that there
was at that time but one negro resi-
dent in Lyndon. Another from the
postmaster who says he never saw any
err, and knew of no subscribers to that
spasmodical periodical.
The case will occupy all the after
noon. It is handled by Carver and
Carver for the prosecution and Hun 4
gate and Magaw for the defense. A
number of witness from Lyndon are
on hand to testify

HIS EYE ON OUR FLEET.
Rojestvenslxy Is Keenly Interested in
Admiral Evans Voyage.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 17.-Admiral
Rojestvensky, who during the Russ o.
japanese war led the i'll starred Rus
sian fleet around Africa to ultimate
defeat at the hands of the Japanese
in the sea of japan. is keenly inter-
ested in the cruise Of the American
battleship squadron. He talked today
with the correspondent of the> Asso-
ciated Press on the matter. He. after
outlining some of the difficulties the
Am erican vessels would have to over
come, said he considered the voyage
to the Pacific to eb entirely practi-
cable.
1T can be made safely either in
time of peace or in time of war" said
Rojestvensky. Sheltered harbors are
available for coa1ing and there Is no
fear of interference on the part OF
any of the South American govern
ments. The passage of the Straits OF
Magellan, especially in summer time,
pres ents no difficulty to a skilled COM
mander. This expedition differs from
the trip of the Baltic in that we are
obliged to coal at sea. We were
not permitted to linger even for ono
day in the unfrequented bay of An
nam without brusQue orders from the
French governor and the English adj
miral to move on
According to Admiral Rojestvensky
the chief criterion of the success of
the voyage will be Rear Admiral
Evans ability to bring every vessel of
the squadron to the various stopping
places on scheduled time" The strag-
Cling due to mechanical defects he
said, Will be hard to overcome.

HE IS IN LEAVENWORTH.
Attorney General to Stay There Till
Joints Are Closed.

Attorney General F. S. Jackson went
to Leavenworth today, and it is said
that he declared, before leaving Topeka
that he intends to stay there until the
joints are all closed.
1t may be that this means that Mr..
jackson is going to move to Leaven-
worth for a permanent residence, but
those who know Jackson expect him
TO be back soon. Leavenworth is the
town which the state officers are find
ing the most difficult to control. The
emcers of Leavenworth county and CITY,
II not in open connivance with the vio-
iators OF the law, are in sympathy with
the licensed saloon and whatever is
done there has to be done by the main
strength of the attorney generals Of

body. ct have got a number of places
for them to fix up and until they have
fixed them up and reported them re-
paired no permits will be issued" said
Mr.. Rogers. "I have instructed Mr.
Sheahan, the plumbing inspector, that
this is the last day of grace and that
We will hold permits up on these people
unless they act right,
On the first of January the city will
proceed itself to repair all the excava-
lions that need repairing and charge
the cost of the same to the parties MAX
ing the excavations. This is the second
chapter of the story which details the
refreshing warfare which has been
waged by the city against plumbers
and corporations who have made exca-
vations, played havoc with the pave
ments and improperly repaired the torn
I'D places when notified.

CITY TO SAVE RENT.
New York to Erect Municipal Build
ing to Cost Millions.

New York, Dec. 17.-Architects
have already began work on plans
which are to be submitted in competi-
ton, for New York's proposed twenty
story office building, to be built upon
the ground recently secured opposite
the Brooklyn bridge entrance It is
estimated that the building will hold
all the offices of the cfty's depart
ments and that it will cost approx
mately 100000. The city Is now
paying $55O,0O0 rent for office room
in privately owned buildings and with
the new building costing $4,000, 900
this would mean saving of $4,000
a year. It Is expected that work on
the new building will begin next year.
