Baxter Woman Wants d.
v0roe.

Mrs. Ida Smith, through her
attorney, E. II. Cullison, of Bax-
ter Springs, has filed suit in the
Galena division of the Cherokee
county district court asking for a
divorce from her husband, J. J.
Smith. The case will be called
for a hearing during the Septem-
Der term of court to be held in
this city. Mrs. Smith is prom
inent society woman of Baxter.
In the petition filed by her at
torney, plaintiff states that she
was married to her husband in
Homer, ILL.,, in 1873, and asks for
a divorce from him on the
grounds of abandonment. The
couple have been separated since
May, 1904, and ii is said that the
woman has on several previous
occasions decided to institute pro-
ceedings against her husband,
but in each instance dropped the
matter after realizing the notori-
ETY. which would necessarily re-
suit from the affair. This time
she is. however, firmly determin-
ed to release herself from any OBJ
legations toward him'-Galena
correspondent in Joplin Globe.
The meteoric rise in the price
of wheat is good for the Kansas
farmer but bad for the Kansas
millers, says the Leavenworth
Post. 1t puts him out of the bsui-
ness for the present and until the
price of -four catches up with the
price of the wheat. 1t may well
be doubted of such sudden and Vi
olent fluctuations in the value of
so important foodstuff as wheatis
for the general food. The sudden
jump in the price of wheat is pure
ly speculative. There will be a
short crop and a permanent ad-
vance in the price, but no existing
demand caused such sensational
rise in the price as has taken
place.

 If reports are true the majority or the Judiciary Committee were not ready to ac- cept the bill and make favorable report on it yesterday. The committee is for an nti-lobbying bill, but the sentiment as re- ported Is for a milder measure.
 The anti-lobby question at present is an open question, but some bill will be agreed upon, although this may possibly be done after a minority and a majority committee reports are submitted to the House. Which is to say that an anti-lobby bill Of some sort will be passed by the present Legisia- tura.

Birl for storm sufferers.

Senator Max Hamburger. or Mooie, will at an early date introduce bili to make an appropriation of o,ooO TOT the storm sufferers along tho coast or Mobile Bay and the Gulf. The Mooile delegation in the House will give sup port to his measure.
 The need of it is apparent to all, not only to those who have visited the de- vastated coast but to others who. through the newspapers and other pup lications, have kept l2formed of the terrible damage done by the storm or September 26.
 The settlements and towns along the southern coast of the bay, both on the west and the east side, were practi- cally wiped out of existence. Many families lost everything in the world they possessed. The loss of life In itself was dreadful and appalling.
 The heavy loss of life Is indicative of the awful damage done by the ter rible West Indian hurricane. The de- struction of property was even more widespread. Men, women and chill dren in the section laid in ruin by the storm. have since that catastrophe suffered for the necessities CT life.
 The people of that section of the State have been hopefully looking to the Legislature for some relief from their want and hunger. They are hoping that the Legislature will give them another opportunity of building up that section until it will be as 1t was before, one of the loveliest cor- ners in the State.
 Captain John Craft oe Mobile is in the city and Is trying to show the need of giving aid to the storm sufferers along the bay shore.
