WAS RICH LIVING.
A LeaYenWOrth Woman Given
$3.50 in Two Years.
One of the Numerous Causes
for Seeking Divorce.
MADE LIFE MISERABLE
She Complains Of Husband Be-
ing Cruel to the Stock.
He Declared That Her " Nag
ging" Drove Him Away.

: Leavenworrh, Feb. 13.-There is a
chance for an argument in the troubles
of Frank and Jennie Warren. The hus-
band filed suit in the district court jan
uary Is for a divorce. In his petition
he stated that they were married Feb
ruary %, 1905. but claimed that ever
since that date the wife had continual
ly nagged and scolded him, abused and
belittled him no matter how well he
tried to do for her, and that finally
ABOUT July II, 1906, she drove him from
home and has informed him that she
wishes no longer to live with him as his
wife.
Yesterday the wife concluded to have
something to say; she didn't intend
that would go unchallenged and she
thinks if anyone is to have the decree
of divorce she is entitled to 1t.
The wife says Frank was addicted to
the use of vile and profane language,
that he had an ungovernable temper,
and that these combined Inundated her
and caused her great mental worry
which at times rendered her life al
most unbearable. She says that during
their entire married state he contrib
uted only $3.50 toward her support so
she certainly must have been doing
some high living. She says that in 1905
when there was a heavy snow on the
ground Frank turned her stock out in
the field, and as result let pony
starve to death.
On October II, 1905, the wife says
Frank abandoned her for five days,
and returning at night slept in the
granary and gave no reasons therefor
The wife says she owns forty acres
of land which Frank has continually
nagged and pleaded with her to sell or
mortgage. She says she worked hard
as a nurse, took in Sewing and used
all her earnings to support the family;
that she furnished Frank with good
home, but that she was abandoned by
him and that about July IL, 1906, he left
the good home she had provided for
him. She seeks the decree and her
maiden name of Jennie Donahue.

These were. the opening lines of
Ewing Herbert's speech at the Elks'
hundred and fifty business and profess

cheered the Kansas editor, while the
orchestra played eHiawatha"
Mrs Herbert was announced by the
toastmaster. Benjamin. Schnierle. to
speak on The Simple Life" Henry J.
Allen of the OTTAWA Herald, who was
to speak on kansas City in Kansas"
was absent, however. and Mr.. Herbert
undertook to handle both subjects.
There is an East Side to the city
and there is a West Side," he said,
but l have not the ability to tell the
simple truth as to the greatness of
Kansas City. All you need on the
West Side is a few more sacrifice hits
and a little better teamwork and you

that in Missouri.

The square deal, or the fair deal. for

TARAL AND SON SAIL.
veteran Jockey and Youngster Are
Away for Austria

New York, Feb. 13.-It is difficult
to believe that Fred Taral has been
twenty-five years a jockey, yet such is
the fact. He is now a little more than
40 years old, yet looks about the same
as he did fifteen years ago, with his
well-set, square shoulders, his clear
eye and his quick, energetic strides, a
typical American jockey.
With his son, John, he will depart
for Austria on Saturday next, there to
ride for Baron Springer. His son John
is also under engagement to the baron,
so the rare spectacle will sometimes be
seen of father riding against son. In
one race last year the boy beat the
father by a head.
Tarals last races in America were In
1900. Then he went abroad, where in
Austria and Hungary he has led the
winning jockeys for four of the six
years that he has been there. In one
of the other two years, Harry Lewis,
also an American, beat Taral.

GAS FIELD is GROWING.
Neither Pressure Nor Volume Has De
creased In .MOnfSomerv

Coffeyville, Kan, Feb. 13.-Some of
the alarmists who fear that the gas
in this field will soon give out should
talk with Sealey' Brown, county gas
Inspector. Mr.. Brown has been in the
field constantly now for nearly two
years. He is working on a report of
his work since last June. This report
will show that neither the pressure nor
volume of the wells on serayoff pipe
lines has decreased to any extent at all,
and it Will show further a great. gain
in amount, of gas developed In. this
field and VIII SHOW an aggregate daily
flow for the county of over a billion
feet. No exact figures are vet obtain
able as all his work is not yet finished.
Mr.. Brown recently inspected the
Kansas Natural 7pipe line from Lib
erty to the east county line andSfound
it in apparently good condition.: Men
are patrolling the line daily n
Mr.. Brown made the astounding
statement today that there was 1858
miles OF gas pipe line laid in this
county and in actual use. This pine
if laid in one continuous line would
reach from here nearly to New York
city.

we eat there is nothing we wear, there
is no part of the house in which we live
or the building in which we transact our
business that is not affected by freig hit

country that the lifeblood of commerce
flows. and experience has shown that it
cannot be safely left to the greed and
avarice OF those who control large COR
porate enterprises to fix the rates by
which this commerce should be carried
from the producer to the consumer.

fought out the question as to whether our
currency system should be dominated and
controlled by private individuals. We
must fight out the question of railway
