the last several years, the pains in my

my kidneys were in a terribly weak

Mason city. July 12.-Shrewd law
yers who make a speciality of divorces
quietly obtained while you wait, nave
already discovered a method by which
they can evade lowa's new marriage
after divorce law, they say.
There is joker in the new law ~
bis clause which says that by per-
mission of the judge granting the de-
cree the parties may remarry as soon
as they desire.
at is only necessary to insert IN
the divorce decree these words. Ana
the parties to this case are hereby Elk
pressly permitted to remarry at any
time they so desire and when the
signature of the Judge is affixed to 1t
the purpose OF the law is knocked IN
the head" said a local we'll known di-
vorce lawyer.
LAS usual thing divorces are
agreed upon by the husband and wife,
altho the law provides that such
agreements are a bar to the action.
But the; customary Polk county way
is for the wife and husband to agree
to the separation, one brings the, suit
and the other lets the decree go thru
by default So the decree would ordi-
narily be framed to permit both parties
to we'd If the divorce is contested the
decree may specify only that the win
ner may remarry, thus barring out
the hapless defendant, who is put aside
and forbidden to remarry for year"
But will the judge sign such de-
cree" was asked of the attorney.
"Pshaw Yes. Half the time they
don't read EN-, and oftentimes when
the mill is griding nicely-why, say, do
yo usuppose that when divorces are OBJ
tanned upon such shallow grounds as
they often are in this county, 1t
wouldn't be just as easy to get the
judge to consent to the remarriage as
to get the divorce in the first place.
1t has been discovered also that the
new law expressly provides that di-
vorced parties may remarry each 9TH
er at any time they wish Finally 1t is
discovered that the new law applies
only to DEGREES granted since July 4.
This will permit any of the parties
divorced before that date to try It
again any time they may wish.

In Bourbon county, Kentucky on Feb

months and "a days old at his death.
In 1910 his family moved to Indiana,
and in 1S47 they located in Montezuma,
being one of the earliest settlers of the
county. He was engaged in various
occupations while here; he brought
the first load of pine lumber that came

The Rock Island and the Burling-

that have been experimenting with
briquettes made Of slack coal, pressed,
for fuel for locomotives. The tests
are said to be satisfactory in more
ways than one, and that the new fuel
may be used on some of the railroads
especially IN certain departments Of
the service. 1t is said to be as good
and better than a smoke consumer,
as far as the prevention of smoke is
concerned. On account Of it's free
combustion, little smoke is produced,
and consequently the fuel would be
suitable for use In locomotives in
running thru large cities.

Sioux City. July 12.-Firm in the be-
lief that the Missouri river can be
made a valuable waterway, thereby
reducing freight rates and relieving the
congested freight condition in the mid
ole west, Capt. E. H. Schulz, engineer
in charge of the Missouri river, advises
the expenditure of s1,6OO.0OO on inn
provements in his annual report to
Brig. Gen. A. Mackenzie, chief of the
United States army engineers.
The report which was completed at
the close of the fiscal year. June 30,
has been received at the office OF the
chief engineer Congress last year APP
propriated 100000 after hard fight.
THE Missouri river is at present re-
ceiving very serious attention and
renaissance of commercial activity is
impending says Captain Schulz III
his report to his chief. During the
present week two boats will be placed
in commission between Kansas City
anu AJOulS. dIid ldtSl olL wv OtlSA
will follow The territory tributary to
the Missouri is immense and thickly
populated and the time is not far dis
tant when 1t must take some of the
burdens of transportation not only on
account of congestion, but to reduce
the freight rates. Should these con-
siderotions be followed and the system
attic improvement Of the river by snag-
ging, regulation works and revetting
be determined, the amount that can
be protitably expended on improves
ments for 1909 will be 100000 be-
tween the muth and Sioux City, and
tween the mouth and Sioux City, and
Benton"
In addition to these appropriations,
Captain Schulz asks for $2oO,000 to
maintain the improvements between
the mouth and Sioux City, and 100000
between Sioux City and Fort Benton.
The river formerly carried an ac-
tive commerce which has been entire
ly diverted to other channels" con-
tinues Captains Schulz. This, COM
merce now shows healthy signs of re-
viving.'
In the past, as shown by the report,
VI A,SSI,VfO.Sc Ids USSH SApSIueu lCI
improvements
The result of these expenditures
has been to demonstrate the possible
ity Of regulating the river in such
manner as to make it navigable for a
channel of commerce, tho the cost
would be great" says Captain Schulz.
The amount Of traffic on the river in
the past is also shown by the report.
In 1897, 341.029 tons Of freight were
carried on steamers, and in 1906, 573,-
34S tons were transported between
Sioux City and the mouth Of the river.
In 1887, 1891 tons were shipped
above Sioux City, the amount being
increased to 43,9S7 tons in 1906.
Large sums of money have been
spent this spring to overhaul the Nc
Pherson and C. r. Suffer, two snag
boats. Captain Schulz has put them
in commission and expects to keep
them going all summer and until late
in the fall.
Captain Schulz is at present in
Pittsburg examining the locks and
dams in use there for duplication on
the Gasconade river.
