eether-Sues for Divorce.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 2.-Hoping to
secure .. reconciliation with the wife
whom he had married without her
knowledge, Benjamin Nico, of this city,
originated q novel scheme, which re-
suited in his arrest at the instance Of
her indignant parents. The scheme was
the manufacture of a photograph show
Ing them apparently taken together.
These he was distributing among his
friends.
Nice was engaged to marry Miss
Minnie Baldes. of this city. She went
with him to ecure a marriage license,
s,nd then, telling her it was a portion
of the %forInality, he took her before an
alderman, who married them while she
thought he was adding some necessary
legal detail to the license.
Drove Him Out.
That night. when Nico claimed his
bride, she and her parents were so in
dignant at the trick that they drove
him from the house, and she begun suit
for divorce.
Before Christmas he secured a group
photo of several girls, his wife being
one. He her induced a clever photog-

Louis club to Congressman Richard
Bartholdt, chairman of the committee
of public buildings and grounds of the
house of representatives. and an adj
dress was delivered by him in which
he said:
The government, I insist, should be
controlled by business principles. An
issue of 2 or 3 per cent. bonds to the
amount OF $500, 900, 900 to be distributed
ove a period of say ten years will suf-
flee to complete all great river projects
and will forever solve the problem of
the continuous and permanent improve
ment of u great waterways. 1t is
my deliberate judgment that it can
not be lone in any other way, and if
the gentlemen here present think well
of it ! shall draft and introduce a bill
to hat effect without further delay.
Il am well aware of the existing
prejudice against al issue of bonds in
time of peace. The prejudice would be
justified il the government proposed
to borrow money in order to defray it's
running expenses, but here we contem-
plate an extraordinary expenditure with
an ample return for every dollar and
with all the guarantees of a permanent
investment for the lasting benefit of
the present as well as of future gener-
atiOnS,"

OFFICERS INSTRUCTED IN
~SKULL-CRACKiNG ART

Chicago. Jan. 2.-Essays on how
to crack the skull of the inoffensive
citizen with one blow of a policeman's
club, thereby doing away with the fiji
teen minutes clubbing and waste Of
energy which is now in vogue in the
police department, and Instructions on
how to stave in the ribs of the 'inno-
cent bystander' so that he will immedi-
ately become unconscious, and not
wake up until the hospital is reached,
are to be given by earned instructors
to Chicago's guardians of the peace.
Arrangements were completed today
by Chief Collins for the starting of this
policemen's school shortly after the
first of the year. 1t is intended that
the policemen all over the city shall
listen to Police Attorney Comerford and
others talk on a policeman's duty, his
moral obligations to the public, and on
how many times a week he should
change his collar. Mr.. Comerford will
visit all the police stations and all to
the men. After they nave listened to
one of his lectures they are expected to
be as meek as lambs and cease to be-
come brutal policemen.
According to numerous criticisms
which are said to be packed up by the
records of the police trial board, Chica-
COS policemen have been swinging
their clubs in as lusty a fashion as
Friar Tuck, and their percentage Of

heads of the present generation are not

Whether Mr.. Comerford will remark
upon this particular phase of the mat
ter could not be learned yesterday. as

tary confinement in order to write his
essays and lectures.

GETS PASSAGE BY
POSING AS CROOK

Vienna. Jan. "A cruel trick has
been played on a New York baker
named Myrok by a Hungarian, who
wished to return home from America.
Myrok told the police at Budapest that
the man came to him in New York and
informed him that he was Kecskemety,
a Hungarian swindler, Who recently
disappeared, and for whom a reward of
s12,5O0 was offered. He suggested that
Myrok should go back with him, obtain
the reward, and that they should share
the money.

both to Europe, n they have arrived
at Budapest. On their way to the po-
lice Office, however, the supposed
Kecskemety disappeared. Myrok has
since received a letter from him, ex-
planning that he was anxious to get

WANTS $4,000 FOR A
TRUNK LOST IN FIRE

Norfolk, Neb.. Jan. 2.-As one result
of the fire in Norfolk last winter which;
destroyed the city depot Of the North,
western Railroad company, Rev. A. NJ.
p. Abbott, formerly of Elgin, but now,
pastor of a church at O'Neill, has en-,
tered a claim for $1,000 damages. He
alleges that he lost a trunk in the fire
and that the trunk contained property
to the value of $11, 600. This valuable.
property included lectures and sermons
that the preacher had been delivering
during his ministerial career and which
he hoped to preserve if not to deliver
again. There was also in the trunk a
family bible containing the pedigree of
a long family tree and the loss of an
old book added several notches to the
damage figure. 1t is not at all sure
that the Northwestern railroad will
allow the claim.
The trunk owned by the Rev. Mr..
Abbott CHANGED to be stored in the
depot at Norfolk on the night of the
fire and among other valuable articles,
the sermons and lectures and the fam
lily bible lifted themselves heavenward
through the medium of smoke.
