1888 MARRIAGES AND 81
DIVORCES DURING YEAR
Record of Wayne County from
Statistics.
FIGURES OVER THE STATE

Figures just compiled by Miss Mary
the number of divorces granted in In.
diana during the year 1906 equaled
about IL per cent of the total number
of marriages.
During the year there were 2s.7SS
marriages in Indiana and 3.693 di-
yorces. Marion county, as usual, had
the largest number of both marriages
and divorces, 2,794 marriage licenses
and 5ST divorces being granted in the
county during the year. While Lake
county was next with the number OF
marriages the county fell short of the
usual ratio of divorces. Lake county
had 1856 marriages, but only A di-
vorces. Vigo county had $50 marriages
and 1s7 divorces. Vanderburg had l.
005 marriages and 122 divorces.
The statistician's figures show that
in the divorce cases a large majority
of the defendants were the husbands.
About three times as many divorces
were granted to the wives as were
granted TO the husbands. The total
number granted to the wives was 3
772 and the total number granted to
the husbands was S99. Most of the
wives obtained their divorces on the
grounds of cruel treatment. with aban-
donment a close second Most of the
husbands secured their divorces on
the grounds of abandonment.
Abandonment Principal Charge.
The number of divorces granted to
husbands on various pleas were given
as follows: Abandonment, 1872: inf
deity. 1856; criminal convictions. q:
cruel treatment, SIG; drunkenness
IS: failure to provide, II: miscellane-
Gus causes, &C. The number of di-
vorces granted to wives were: Adam
donment. S25; infidelity. 1872: crimi-
nal convictions. 80; cruel treatment,
1886; drunkenness. 254; failure to pro-
vide, 465; miscellaneous causes, rs.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the divorce business in Indiana
in 1906 is that twelve men secured di-
vorces in the plea that their wives
failed to support them.
The marriage and divorces reported
by counties for the year 1906 show
Wayne county had 3SS marriages and
"a divorces.

JURY TRIALS SEEM TO
Be ON THE DECLINE
Few Calls for the Petit Body
This Term.
CASES LEFT TO JUDGE

Only six more cases on the civil
docket are set for trial the remainder
of this term of court, the January
| term, which ends April /. This term
busy one, but at the same time quite a
number of minor cases have been dis
posed of, either by trial, dismissal or
compromise.
A majority Of the cases have been
heard by Judge Fox and the petit jury
has a very easy time of it. For over
two weeks the jury has not been call
ed upon to hear case. Trial by jury
seems TO be rapidly becoming obsolete
in Wayne county. A jury is now used
only in the more important cases.
This fact is often mentioned by local
attorneys.
Few Criminal Cases.
There have been only few criminal
, cases heard so far during the January
term of court and none of them has
been of great Importance. Only two
more criminal cases, one for assault
and one for embezZlement, remain to
be heard this term. Judge Fox has
had a busy time of it in the juvenile
court and has sent six boys, five from
Richmond and one from Milton, to the
reform school. There have been the
usual large number of divorce cases
heard, Saturdays being the popular
day for the hearing of such cases.
Judge Fox's ruling that defendants III
divorce cases who reside in the coun-
fv must apnpar in each case has pr0y-
en- to be a wise procedure as the judge
can then hear both sides of the stories
of domestic woes. During this term
there have been from two to three
divorce cases heard each week and in
nearly all the cases divorces have
been granted.

A FARMERS MEETING
600 Attend Ten Days Farmers Course
Nearly 200 More Than
Last Year.

Madison, Wis, Feb. Is. Nearly 600
farmers are attending the fourth ann
ual ten days course in agriculture at the
University of Wisconsin, which closes
today. This is nearly 200 more than
last year, when the enrolment was only
410. The housekeepers conference, held
at the same time, was attended by 137
women who came to the university to
study household problems in the home
onomics department. The new ten
days course for Swiss chees amakers
was attended by Is.
The most prominent feature of this
years programe of the farmers course
was the instruction and council on the
Importance of improving the dairy cattle
of the state, and the means to be used.
Every day there was lecture, a con-
ference, or special demonstration of
particular interest to dairymen, and
much emphasis was placed upon the val
ue of cooperation Of farmers in raising
the standard of the dairy herds. Dean
w. A. Henry of the college of agricult-
ure gave lecture on the improvement
of the 1OO,0 900 dairy herds in the state
that furnish milk to 5000 creameries
and cheese factories. Some time was
given to the Judging of dairy bulls, and
TO a discussion of methods of feeding
dairy COWS so as to get the best results.
This morning s programme also contain
| ed an hours lecture on the relation
between the pure bred live stock breed
er and the farmer. Yesterday after
noon was largely given to judging vari-
Gus types and breeds of dairy cows, and
in the morning dairy topics filled the
entire time, with stereopticon lecture
on celebrated Wisconsin dairy cows, and
conference on "The maintenance of
high standard Of production in dairy
herds" The course also contained a
lecture by Ex-Gov. w. d. Hoard on
'The meaning of the dairy temperament,
demonstrations of the use of the milk
ing machines, demonstrations of the
tuberculin test, and other interesting
dairy topics.

THAT RAILWAY PARK
Understanding With 500 Line at the
Time of the Vacation of
Streets

Some time ago, as the News remem-
bers it, there was an understanding be-
tween the city and the 500 Line, that
in consideration of the vacation of GER
tain streets, the company would convert
the strip of land north of the depot into
a park, that it would be piece of orn-
amentation instead of the ungainly strip
that it has been, and is, up to the pres
ent time. Just what the understanding
was will have to be determined by the
records of the deal.
1t is time now that this matter should
be brought up so the work can be done
in the spring. This piece of ground
would make a fine appearance if put in
shape, and an advertisement of value
to the city.
Some of the railway companies have
adopted the plan of converting such
pieces into slightly plats, an Inexpensive
way of making attractive depot premis-
.es. This matter should have immediate
attention.

ANOTHER R. R. WRECK
Occurs Near Flambeau Bridge Mon
day Afternoon-No One Is
Injured,

Another wreck took place a short
distance east of the 500 railway bridge
Monday evening in which sevenscarloads
of coal were dumped into the ditch.
This is the second smash-up' st this
point this winter, in both of which coal
was the commodity lost.
Mondays wreck was on through
freight that followed the way freight
from the east.
Some of the ears were badly smashed
and coal and clay were thrown clear of
the right of way.
A section crew was working in the
vicinity, but took to the woods and
were out of harms way at the time of
tie shakeup.
None of the train crew was injured.
The wreckage was cleared away in
time for the west bound limited Tues
day morning which came in about five
hours late. The east bound limited
went by way of Owen and Abbottsford

TO SAVE INDIAN PINE.
How Senator La Toilette Dispose,
of it-Bill Before Con-

Washington dispatches state that Sen
ator La Toilette has reported to the
senate his bill for cutting and sale of
timber on the Menominee Indian reserv-
alton in Wisconsin. The bill provides
that no more standing timber shall be
cut than is sufficient, when added to the
dead and down timbers, to make 20, 600
900 feet in the aggregate, and that only
such standing timber shall be cut as
shall be marked by officials of the for
estry service. The secretary of the in
terror is authorized to permit the tribe
to manufacture into lumber so much of
the annual cut as he may deem advis-
able. In his report Senator La Toilette
says this is the finest body of natural
timber left standing in Wisconsin. II
the dead and down timber is to be saved
it must be logged at once.

which he is going, of what is before
him, of what is on either side of him,
and of what he is leaving behind him.
At every crossing he will settle his
course, so to speak, and look out for
dangers from every point of the COM

KIND THAT IS WANTED
The Chippewa Falls Furniture Com
Proves a Success from the
Start

The Chippewa Falls Herald has the
following on the furniture factory at that
place: "The Chippewa Furniture Com
pany has demonstrated what a concern
can do when it is properly conducted. Az
little over a year year ago, the gentle
men who manage this compay came to
Chippewa strangers. They made our
people proposition to engage in bust
ness with them. 1t was accepted and
yesterday their promise to pay a seven
per cent dividend was made good. tits
business principals of this kind that is
building towns and cities. There is
plenty of money in the country for in
vestment, aud the people are always
ready to invest when honest and capable
business men are to be foand. The
furniture factory is employing about
ninety people and have been running
over time at various times since the
factory started. The success must be
gratifying to the management, for it
is not often that a new concern in the
business is able to make good the first
year."
There are doubtless many others an
ticipating the locating of factories for
the manufacture of furniture of various
kinds and that is what the Commercial
club is looking for and will doubtless
find. Institutions that employ around
100 hands count for something and a
few of them would make great change
here.

IN THE CITY SCHOOLS.
Board Takes Action in Matter of the
Care of Textbooks.

Care of Textbooks.
At the regular meeting of the Board
of Education Gil Wednesday, February
13, two subjects of general interest
were discussed.
First: The abuse of textbooks by
few of the pupils, and a resolution
was passed requesting the teachers to
take note of this abuse and to insist
upon the payment of fine whenever
they think a book shows the effects
of carelessness or unusual wear. This
is matter in which the parents can
assist by cooperating to prolong the
period of usefulness of all books and
help to train the children to take better
care Of all things in their possession.
Second: The arranging of program
to accommodate the increased attend
ance in the primary rooms this spring.
Those pupils who started in September
and were unable to attend during the
winter cannot finish the first grade
this year, and it will not be profitable
for them to return now. For these
pupils, and all who are five years of
age and have not attended school be-
fore, proper arrangements will be
made at the beginning of the spring
term, about April 1st. They should go
at that time to the east school house
where Miss Lucy Rosenquist will class
ify them according to their ability.
We wish at this time to call the atten-
ton of interested parents to this ar
rangement and ask them to make their
plans accordingly.

the rights of the parties.
The city has got the best of contest

GETTING SETTLERS HERE.
Farmer Takes Hand in Securing More
People.


Isadore Guns, who is clearing up a
farm in the town of Grow, was in the
city Thursday. Mr.. Guns is working
farmer who came here couple years
ago and started, as many another has
started, from nothing. But he has
kept at it and is making a showing.
1t is the work that Mr.. Guns and other
Industrious people are doing that is
building up the country. 1t does it in
more ways than one. To illustrate:
Mr.. Guns has had several visitors from
his former home, and the majority of
them have bought land here for use.
They have seen the country, examined
the soil, sized up the crops and decided
that it is good place for homes.
Mr.. Guns wants neighbors and lots
of them wants to see the country fully
settled and by showing what can be
done has secured several already, and
is looking for more.
This indicates what can be done if
4e all make an effortwhich is what
every home owner ought to do. Who
is there who cannot exert some influence
along this line? Who among the farm
ers is there who cannot get one new
settler this year? It means develop
ment and an increase in the value of
your land. 1t means convenience as
well as profit Now is the time to be-
gin, before the busy season opens.
