Wife to his office and the annoyance
she created caused him to be dis
charged. Her insane jealousy com

all hours of the day and night.
After he had lost his job he deserted
her and went to Pueblo. where he Sc
cured another good position. His wife
soon got elew as to his whereabouts
however, and followed him to that city
where she repeated her performance.
Mr.. Hennessey again cleared out, this
time going to Dallas, Tex. where he
settled down feeling secure in his po-

Again he lost his job. and again he
blew out OF town.
Back up north he went until he
deemed he had gone far enough away
and prepared to settle down. Like a

again, having followed close at his
heels. His last escape was to South

given a good position at the. Illinois

for some time before he was located
by Mrs. Hennessey. Here he lived
with her in peace for a week, but when

last night when a pistol shot broke
the stiffness and a bullet whizzed by
IN close proximity to his head. The
shot came from a cIump of bushes di-

They heard a rustling in the bushes

picked up a rock and threw it into the
shrubbery. thinking that a cat or a
dog was there and that they would
scare it away.

Planters Are "Blue" and They Fear For Success of Cotton Crop if Present Bad Weather Continues.
BUSINESS sUFFERs S
What the Planters Say-SpOol Cotton Is 6 Cents Per SpOOl-COttOn Ad- vances $2.5O Per Bale-Weather Man Promises Better Weather.

The continued wet weather of the past several weeks, with only an Oc- casional day of dryness and sunshine has materially retarded cotton plant ing and general farm work in this county and immediate section.
 The planters are "blue' over the prospects and unless there is change for the better within the next few days they fear for the success of the cotton crop the coming year.
 The weather bureau at Washington yesterday gave out the assurance that the sun would shine today in this sec tion of the country and that the cold, rainy weather of yesterday would be followed by warm weather; and it further says: 1.-The weather will turn warmer Monday, and after that we will have real summer weather" All records were broken by the low mean temperature during the last two months.
 Many of the planters of this county are hopeful and say that if good weather prevails the coming ten days they will be able to yet make good crop, although they figure that it will be short and fully thirty days late. 1 Much of the recently planted cotton | has rotted in the ground in the past ! ten days.
 Sidney E Adams of Cornerstone says labor is plentiful on his place and that he can yet make good crop, if fair weather comes next week Joe Pilkington of Washington town ship, says he can only make about a Nhalf crop, even if good weather comes Monday. Everything looks pretty blue" in his locality. he says.

 The unfavorable weather has seri- ously affected business and the mer- chants of this city have been feeling the effects of the bad weather-finan- cially speaking. Spring trade has been very good at times, however, but the people living in the country dis tricts have not been able to "come :o town" and do their usual trading.

ed in this country. What the figures will
show from 1857 to 1907 can only be ap-
proXimated at this time but with the
statistics from the larger number OF cities
before him, the director OF the census
believes that the number will go to l,2O0,
coo. For the 20-year period of 1867 to
1887 there was an average of 80 divorces
for every 100000 population. 1t is now
estimated that for the latter period, from
1887 to 1907, the statistics will show about
20 divorces to every 100000 population,
or more than double the number for the
first period.
Chicago will take the lead in the num-
Der OF divorces granted in any one city.
While the figures for both New York and
Chicago are far from complete they in
dictate that Chicago will lead New York
about three to one.
No one seems to know just what use
is to be made OF the statistics after they
are completed. The investigation was all-
thoriZed by congress after the president
had sent in a special message suggest
ing that such statistics should be gath
cred. 1t was assumed then that the in.
formation was desired for use in squirting
on states to enact more drastic laws regu-
lating marriage and divorce, but now
that the call is for federal regulation of
it may be that the revelations |
of the investigation will lead to a move
ment for constitutional amendment |
which will enable congress to regulate |
marriage and divorce.
