MANY new CASES
Are BEING FILED
FIVE PETITIONS PLACED WITH
CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT
THIS MORNING.
Accidents Are Grounds for Legal Ac-
tion-Wants Divorce and $4,000
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
on a Note.

Attorneys of the city are beginning
to get busy filing cases of various ma
ture in the office of the clerk of the
district court for trial in the next
term of the august body. Five
cases were filed this morning with
Clerk Phillips two of which were for
damages for personal injuries, one
for foreclosure of a note, a divorce
petition and a petition to set aside a
deed.
The petition for divorce is filed by
Marie Liniger Of Eldon against her
husband Martin Liniger. The plain
tiff alleges cruel and inhuman treat
ment as a cause of the action. Alimony
is sought by the plaintiff who alleges
that defendant is the owner of 200
acres of land in Johnson county valued
at $4,000, a homestead in Eldon
worth $1,000, and some bank stock.
She seeks the sumo of $4,000 alimony
and the Eldon homestead.
Damage Cases.
The damage suits consist of a
petition filed by Albert L. Mitchell
against the Dain Manufacturing Co.,
for $4,000 alleged to be due to the
plaintiff receiving an injury in the
body and leg by being struck by a
piece of wood flying from a saw at
the plant where he was working Jan
uary 8. The saw he alleges was un-
protected.
George Mccormick filed a petition
for damages against Haw-Simmons and
Co., for $4,000. He claims in the
petition to have fallen down an eleva.
tor shaft at their warehouse, located
near Marian street and that the eleva.
tor was not protected to prevent such
accident. The accident is said to
have occurred April "a.
Carl F. T. Schwabkey filed a peti.
ton against James and Elizabeth
Titus and Viola and w. G. Stewart in
which he seeks to have a deed set
aside. The foreclosure of a note for
$500, with interest at Z per cent in
which are involved l.. H. Ellsworth
against Lewis Godfrey and twelve
others is a case that will furnish food
for thought to the attorneys before the
matter is settled.

Free Choice of the Militant Democracy
Without an organization to urge his
claims: without a campaign fund to
circulate literature in his behalf;
without patronage to bride a single

won a signal victory at the primaries
and has become the free choice Of
the militant Democracy of the nation.
Forming in one unbroken phalanx,
extending from Massachusetts to Cal

make him the party candidate, and

WAS JESUS A JEW?

An American delegate provided the
principal theme for contention at the
International Historical congress.
which has just concluded its ses-
sions here, writes a Berlin cores
pondent of the New York Sun.
Prof. Paul Haupt of Baltimore Gre
ated a storm of discussion among
German theologians by his address,
The History of Galilee." the title
only yelling his real subject. which
was based on the question, WAS Je-
sus a Jew"
Prof. Haupt answered this mega
lively. stating that Christ was not
born in Bethlehem, according to the
early Christian tradition. but in Naz-
areth He contended that the as
sessment which necessitated Josephs
journey to Bethlehem was levied /
years after Christ's birth.
After a succession OF arguments
Prof. Haupt put forward his con-
clusion that it was improbable that
Christ was n descendant of David. 1t
was probable, on the other hand
that he was descendant OF the Ar
! yam colonists of Galilee. Possibly,
if his genealogical tree could be
traced far enough. it would be shown
that he was a descendant of Zoroas-
/ ter,
1t was at this point that war of
words arose between Prof. Haupt and
the German professors. Prof. Haupt s
arguments were attacked in detail.
and perhaps because IL was a ques-
tion of one against numbers. he did
not fare we'll.
The leading German Biblical eN-
pert present expressed the pith Of the
! German idea when he said IL was i'm
possible to decide scientifically
/ whether Christ was n Jew by race.
| The point of Importance was that
! Christ was unquestionably Jew by
/ religion.
Sucn violent dissension was pro-
duced that the chairman's efforts to
calm the controversialists were for a

IT COST $500 TO NAME LINCOLN.

The late Leonard SWEET, speakin,
from first-hand knowledge of th'
facts, once said that the whole ex

of delegates and incidentals, did MOI
exceed $500. 1t cost the republican
national committee less to elect Lin.
coin in 1860 than it does to conduct
many a state canvass of the present
time.
That committee" said Mr.. SWEET
spent a sum that would now seem
contemplate; but it did its work as
thoroughly and successfully as any
committee the party has had since.
In 1864. at the most critical hour in
the history of the nation, the sum
of 100000 was all that was spent
to secure the reelection of Lincoln. q"
1t is a far cry from 1864 to 1908
and it is well within the bounds to
say that it will cost more than S5,-
600, 900 to elect a president this year.
This sum will be spent by the nation
al committee of the two great parties
and does not include the funds col
lected and disbursed. by the several
state committees and other smaller
agencies. The use of large sums of
ferred, is a growth of the last 40
years. Previous to that time politi-
cal campaigning was largely mat
ter of hurrah and sentiment: but in
the later COS business men, alert,
shrewd and fond of system and or
der, began to take the management
of politics into their hands. and a
wonderful change in methods and
measures was speedily effected

In former articles the advantages
of Colorado as fruit producing
state have been briefly discussed.
There is another important feature
that may well be considered, and
that is the subject of marketing.
The distance from markets has
compelled our growers. to combine in
associations for the marketing of
their fruit. II is now no longer nee
essary for anyone who lives in the
fruit districts to market his fruit if
he does not choose to do so. Among
other things. the result has been to
make name for our fruit: to rem
der markets stable by a more intelli-
gent distribution; to prevent the
competition of grower against grow
er, and to hold the grading of fruit
up to set standard.
In the east the very nearness to
markets seems to prevent the forma-
tion of such associations. At least,
there are but few, if any, in success

have been made. This must account
in large measure for poor service.

distribution.

Now, If these towns had been

we anything to expect but what he
promises? Have we anything 20 eX-

,eloquence and his adroitness as a
public critic? Has he ever given any
practical demonstration of his abil-
ity to great problems and solve
them? Has he ever done anything
but formulate propositions in his
closet of an utterly impracticable
character largely with a view of at
tracing votes by their plausibility
and very little with view of their
operation? BY their fruits we shall

career as public man and con
