IS BREWERS WIFE
Judge BolIinger in Scott Coun-
ty District Court Decides
Noted Case
OF BLANCHE REUTER- MENGEL
Holds Marriage Was Legal, But Plain
tiff is Not Entitled to Separate
Maintenance Prayed For.

Judge Bollinger in the district court
of Scott county today virtually decided
the famous Blanche Reuter- engel sep
arate maintenance case by ruling that
the alleged wife of George Mengel, the
brewer, was in fact his wife. This en-
titles her TO support, and she will be able
to charge accounts to the defendant
with the assurance that they must be
paid His refusal to support her will,
of course, be grounds for divorce.
The suit was originally brought by
Mrs. Mengel for separate maintenance,
and the brewer in setting up a defense
took the ground that she had never
been legally married to him, but was,
in fact, the wife of another.
Refused Separate maintenance.
During the hearing of the arguments
in the Mengel case yesterday,
Judge Bollinger ruled on the fair plain
lifts petition for separate maintenance
by denying her the same. She set up
IN her petition desertiOn and cruel and
inhuman treatment. Although she
proved dcsertion for a short time and
a certain amount of surveillance, she
did not prove desertion for two years
nor such cruelty as to endangCr her
lie. Attorney Sharon maintained that
the same proof was not necessary foy
separate maintenance as for divorce
but Judge BOllinger decided, citing i
recent decision, that it was.

A DECLARATION.

When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for
the public to buy diamonds,
watches and jcwelry, a decent
respect for their own best inter
ests requires that they trade with
ingalls,. We hold these truths
to be self-evident, that all jewel
ers are not equaI-that some are
endowed by their genius and abiI-
ity to outstrip others, and accord
insly, all experience hath shown
that we are entitled to the major
share of your patronage.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate
in favor of this store.

There are doubtless but few towns

and then. perhaps, will have some
reason for kicking. A "knocker" is
not only dissatisfied with himself,
but every person and everything. II
hr is holding u public Office he can
do but little, il any thing. for the ad.
vancement OF the town. II he is not
in Office he is disgruntled, and is
sure that without his imaginary
guiding hand the town is going to
the devil. He is opposed to every
improvement made 70, the welfare
OF the town. (or even suggested,
imagining that he should be- first
consulted on the question. II those 10

t. coddle to his whim. he would still
display his mulish nature.

are narrow-ninded people, afraid To
invest dollar for fear OF losing it,
and II their neighbors are prosper

work and stand around telling sad
tales about the town which 10 every

q dangerous and deplorable being,
a drawback TO any town.
Unfortunately L Anse is right in

estimated about 5 10000, OF which
only So. 900 is covered by insurance.

space Of time, that in the Retten-
back residence on Saturday last, be-
ing the first one, and the Coughlin
