STOLE wIFE's LOVE AWAY.
]. w. Cherry, Des Moines, Sued by j.
e. crum for $4,000.

Des Moines, Jan. 17.-J. e. Crum has
commenced sensational suit against
John W. Cherry, in which he asks
affections 1t is charged in the petition
that Cherry deliberately set about to
rob Crum of his wife's love, and hav-
ing done so, he induced her to leave
home. He also declares that Cherry
has been guilty of criminal intimacy
with his wife.
Crum and his wife were married In
August, 1898. He declares that from the
time the ceremony was performed I'M
til Cherry entered the stage Of action,
their married life was pleasant and
agreeable. Some time in 1900, he says,
Cherry began by artful fattery to
tempt his wife.
! These little courtesies continued and
finally, Crum says, his wife yielded to
them. For six years, the husband
says, the two were entirely too init
mate, and it soon became evident to
him that something more than mere
platonic affection actuated their mo-
tives.
The affair eliminated last spring
when. Crum declares, he had sufficient
evidence to justify his suspicious that
all was not we'll. He demonstrated with
his wife, but declares that Immediately
after he had confirmed his belief she
left him and has remained away ever
since.
Mr.. Cherry is well known in Des
Moines. He is the proprietor of two
or three drug stores at Creston.

NEED PROBATE COURT
Conditions at Council Bluffs Reveal
Ridiculous State Of Affairs in Set
Ting Estates.

Special to metropolitan.
Council Bluffs, Jan. 17.-Following
the recommendations to the county
board in relation to the necessity for
the appointment of an attorney to take
up the matter of clearing the dockets
Of probate matters, Judge Thornell to-
day made brief examination OF one
record, the letter 3D." and what he
found justified his contentious, and be-
iieying that similar state of affairs
exists thruout the state, says there is
great need OF the election of probate
judges in the larger counties in the
state.
yNConditions were revealed that were
astounding in the one book examined
hastily, and it is believed the other
records would disclose the same con-
ditions. There were cases found in
which guardians were appointed years
ago. and in which nothing has since
been DONE altho the law requires an
annual report. The minors have long
since reached their majority, and yet
there is no discharge of their guardian
or indication of any settlement having
been made with the heirs.
In one instance the estate was OPP
ened in 1892, and records were made
as late as 1900, but for six years fol-
lowing nothing was done in the case.
Another estate was opened in 1895, the
first report being filed in 1897. This
was the last report in the case, nine
years having passed without anything
having been done so far as the records
reveal q
If anything further was needed to
show the righteousness of the condi-
lions the following should suffice: In
one case the children for whom guar
dams were appointed grew of age and
are now nearly 40 years old, yet so far
as the records show their guardian is
still in control of their personal affairs.
A case filed in 1889 was one in which
there were two minor heirs, one 20 and
the other IA years Of age. The elder of
the two is now nearly 40 years old, yet
his guardian has not been discharged.
The present laws were made when
the state was small and probate bust
ness was not SO large but what the
regular judges could handle it with TIE
other business of the courts, but Judge
Thornell says now the need of probate
judges is clearly shown by the conGli-
,tions unearthed by him and others at
the court house.

MORGAN QUITS eANkE.
Wall Street Financier Places Affairs in
Hands Of Son.

.s. anus VI 0ous
New York, Jan. III. p. Morgan has
not been at his office since the hoH-
days. This fact had led to repeated
rumors that he was seriously i'll and
yesterday it was used by spectators
interested in breaking prices to spread
the story turnout this country and Eu-
rope that he was at the point Of death
While this was going on Mr.. Nor
gan sat in the directors room of the
Grand Central depot smoking big ci-
gar and in the best of humor and
health. When he heard Of the rumor
of his serious illness he telephoned
Jack Morgan, his son. to send prompt
denials over the telegraph wires to rep
resentatives of the firm and give the
facts to the Wall street news agencies
While Mr.. Morgan's obituary proba-
bly, will not be written for years, Wall
street will see little of him in future
except when financial matters of great
Importance require his attention. Mr.
Morgan has practically retired from
business.
It was stated upon high authority
yesterday that the financier has placed
his affairs in such shape that 1t will
not be necessary for him hereafter to
give personal attention to the business
of his banking house.
1t will be in the hands of j. p. Nor
gan, Jr his son, who since January
has been the practical head of both the
New York and London houses. Mr.
Morgan remains the senior partner, but
he will be rather consulting than an
active member of the firm.
Mr.. Morgan is now nearly 20, but he
is in vigorous health and is both mem
tally and physically as alert as he was
twenty years ago. He has, however,
not been an active factor in Wall street
since the flotation of United States
Steel Corporation, which he regarded
as the browning achievement of his
career.
The Northern Securities litigation
forced him to give serious attention to
Northern Pacific affairs, but since the
dissolution Of the Northern Securities
Company they no longer require his
personal attention What stocks he has
are of an investment character entire
ly.
The death of Samuel Spencer was
deep personal loss to Mr. Morgan and,
according to one of his friends, had a
great influence in Fastening his retire
ment from active affairs
At the office OF j. p. Morgan & Co. 1T
was said that Mr.. Morgan since the
holidays has transacted all of his bus,
mess in the library adjoining his Mad
ison avenue home.
