SEEKS TO REPLEVIN HIS WIFE
Refused the Writ, Husband Tries
Force, but Is Routed by
Woman.

SHOSHONI Wyo., Dec. 29.-CSpecial)
A storm which had been brewing for
some time between William Stickney and
his wife broke out with full fury Christ
mas eve and she left him and took refuge
with a woman friend The Stickneys
are recent arrivals in Shoshoni and have
been for short time joint proprietors
of a hand laundry here. In order to
forget his troubles Mr. Stickney seems
to have sought solace in the wine cup,
and while more or less under the influ-
ence he sought out the local Justice of
the peace and demanded the instant is
suance of writ of replevin for his bet
ter half. This being contrary to the
statutes in such cases made and provided,
the Judge was Obliged to refuse his re-
quest. Acting upon the advice of a dis
interested bystander, Mr.. Stickney then
rushed into the house where his wife
was. He endeavored to remove her. To
this she strenuously objected and sought
the aid of the woman of the house, who
was not slow in forthcoming, for, armed
with stove poker, she summarily
elected the husband and in the mixup
appears to have struck him with the
poker.
At last accounts Mrs. Stic<ney had left
on the northbound stage and Mr.. Stick
ney was searching with a joint of gas
pipe firmly held in his right hand for the
disinterested bystander.

Pittsburg Now Has the Use of the
Greatest Inland HarbOr in
the World.

PITTSBURG. Dec. 29.-Within few days
the large river interests of the Pittsburg
district will have use of the greatest in
land sharbor in the world. Only two or
three days work remains to complete the
system of locks and dams built on the
upper Ohio river between Pittsburg and
the mouth of the Beaver river at Beaver,
and by the time the low water season
comes the entire chain of six dams will be
ready for full operation. The harbor of
Pittsburg, which has heretofore been con-
fined between Davis Island dam and Lock
No. l on the Monongahela river will be
extended to Merrill. or Dam No. 6, on the
Ohio river. a distance of over thirty miles
from Pittsburg. This will enable river
shippers to take millions of bushels of coal
and other products to southern parts The
improvements have cost the government
S5,O0OO0O

HoBSoN HAS A NEW SCHEME
would Have the Government Print n
Journal for Free Distribu-
tian.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s-An official
Journal. to be published weekly by the gov
ernment and oftener necessary, and
which probably will contain brief notices
" the work executed in the departments
and Independent bureaus OF the depart
ments, OF the supreme court OF the United
States and of the proceedings Of congresses,
so far as they may be of general interest,
Is provided for in a biil which Congressman
Richmond p. Hobson n the Sixth Alabama
district proposes to introduce after the hol-
ldays. The sum OF S75.O0O is appropriated
for equipment and S275,OO0 for the expense Ct
issuing the publication.
Captain Hobson has gone TO some pains
properly to convey bis idea of what the
journal should be- and has had printed a
number Of specimen copies containing just
such matter as would be expected to fiji
it's columns.
In speaking of his bill today. Captain
Hobson said
"The official journal is intended to make
a connecting link between the government
and the people and win be I'm effect a
periodical report to the people of the work
done by all branches of the government.
The project grew out of my having asceT-
tanned that a vast tnlount of valuable ma
terial did not reach tic people for whom 1t
was Intended. 7 believe this journal will
be a means of familiarizing the people with
the stupendous work that their government
is doing and will remove distrust and sus-
picion and create a renewed interest and
confidence among the masses In govern
mental affairs
at cannot help but aid the press of the
country, not only in furnishing a ready in
dex, but in creating "a taste and demand
for reading matter and for additional infor-
nation upon important subjects that can
only be touched upon in the journal"
1t is provided in the bill that the journal
shall be non-partisan and shall contain
no editorial comment. In case It should be
deemed advisable, provision also is made
for the simultaneous publication of the
journal at one point in the middle west and
at one point on the Pacific coast. The
journal is to be distributed free.

FAMINE CONDITIONS IN INDIA
Lack of Rain Causes an Utter Failure
of the Rice Crop in
Lucknow.

HILLSDALE, Mich, Dec. 29.-Secretary
H. s. Myers of the general conference
of Free Baptists said today: According
TO advices just received by me from our
missions in Bengal and Orissa, India, four
months of rain is the usual allowance
in Lucknow, India, in year, but during
the year 1907 il has rained only four
days. The result is famine everywhere
Fields of rice that should have been full
Of food are as nothing. Thousands of
the population are suffering, and before
relief comes next August in another crop
hundreds of thousands must die unless
relief comes from Christian lands. The
Indian government has undertaken famine
relief and many missions are caring for
the orphans and helpless"

HERBERT QUICK TALKS ON RIVER
Author Says eve VIII Build Water

I'VE are going to improve and build
waterways just like we built railroadG
when we neglected our canals and rivera
and went mad over railroad Transports
tlon," said Herbert Quick, author and
student Of the waterways of many lands,
who was in Omaha yesterday.
Mr. Quick is to write a series OF articles
on INLAND Waterways" for The ReadeF
magazine, the first of the series IA "rha
Grand Strategy Of Trade" which will APP

interest to the business men who arG
boosting for river Improvement
New York was the first place 10 which
Mr.. Quick was sent on his long assigns
ment to look up the waterways business"
and he says the question in the street.
is What is there 10 this waterways mat
ter?" Personally Mr.. Quick IL satisfied
IT means navigation IL It means anything,
as the competitors for American trade are
all securing the advantage OF water trans
portation.
Il find that France, about the size OF
Texas. has spent $3.50 10000 for harbors
and waterways" said Mr.. Quick. This
work has been going on for eighty-slx
years, but I'm the same time the United
States has spent but $4,000 900 on all the
rivers, harbOrs and waterways. And be-
sides, France is going to spend s1OO 200
more within the next few years for water
ways
"In looking over the transportation in
Holland and Belgium I find that Belgium
has spent Sl0O,OOOOOO for waterways and a
ton Of freight comes 10 the manufacturers
Of that country at the rate OF 81 per ton
for 1000 miles. When raw material can
be hauled at such price, American
manufacturers may well begin TO look for
cheaper transportation. than that which
costs S26 TO haul a ton OF raw material 90
miles"
Mr. Quick believes the farmers will be
among the first TO feel the lack OF cheap
transportation, when the Canadian farmers
