More Chances to Make Money Than in
Any Other ''New'' Country.

Oklahoma, Texas and the Pacific
coast states during the last three or
four years have been flooded with i'm
migration, through the booming meth
DDS of railroad and land companies.
The result is that whereas when this
rush for new homes began there were
great and numerous opportunities, at
this time they have practically all been
seized, and the opportunities for quick
money are little if any better than in
the older states.
OF all the new states Idaho has had
less in the way of overworked adver-
tising and artificial booms than any,
and this in spite of the fact that it
has more land accessible to irrigration
than all of the other states com bined.
the most ideal climate and the most
varied opportunities for wealth, in
Guiding farming, fruit raising, mining,
cattle and sheep and other kinds of
stock raising and manufacturing. Mr..
James MacGregor of Idaho Falls, the
next big city of the northwest. will be
in Topeka for a few days about Janu-
ary 20 with samples and statistics and
any reader of this article, in Topeka or
out, who is interested in the thousands
of opportunities in eastern Idaho. will
be called upon personally by Mr.. Mac
Gregor when he comes if they will ad-
dress a letter to him at Room 16, 815

MICHIGAN DIVORCES
Are Held to Be Invalid in New York
by the Courts.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE court OF
appeals has decided, in a somewhat
complicated suit, that a decree of di-
vorce given in Michigan when one
party is a resident of New York and IS
served only by publication, is not legal
in New York state. The case, 1t is
said, will go up to the United States
supreme court. Silas OlmStead, who
lived in Tarrytown, died and left an
estate of $4,000 to be divided between
his two sons or their lawful heirs. =
One of the sons, Benjamin F. Ohm
stead married in 1850 Mary Jane Ohm
stead and by her had four children
In 1870 OlmStead went to New Jersey,
his wife remaining in New York. In
1874 without obtaining a divorce he
went through a marriage ceremony
with Sarah Louise WEIGH. Two sons
were born to her. Later they went to
Michigan, where Olmstead secured a
divroce from his New York wife by de-
fault, the summons having been served
by publication. 4a
He then remarked the mother of
his last two sons, thereby under the
law of Michigan; iegitimatizing them.
The second wife died in, 1901, the New
York wife in 1892. and Olmstead III
1905 The four New York children
began suit to have the two Michigan
children excluded from participation
in their grandfather's estate on the
issue" claiming that the Michigan di-
vorce was Illegal. The court excluded
the Michigan children, but the dee1-
sion was reversed by the appellate di-
vision Now the court of appeals af-
firms the first decision. The amount
at stake is only $4,000 and the case has
been in the courts for three years.

MRS. MACY GOING BLIND.
1t Was She Who Taught Helen Keller
to Read.

New York, Jan. 16-NeWs comes to
New York from Wrentham, Mass, that
Mrs. John Albert Macy, who was Miss
Anna Mansfield-Sullivan. for twenty
years the companion of Helen Keller,
is going blind. Mrs. Macy is afflicted
with traumatic cataract and it is fear
ed she will entirely lose her eyesight.
1t is to Mrs. Macy that Helen Keller
owes her education and the fact that
she is today a living example OF the
fact that love and patience can over
come the worst of Affections. Until
Helen Keller was seven years old she
sat in darkness and silence, being deaf,
dumb and blind. Then Miss Sullivan,
as she was then, mastered the means
of communication with the girl andSDy
the touch language, which she invent
ed, began her education. The story of
Miss Keller and her achievements is
known to every one, and it is to the
woman whose friends now believe is
fast losing her sight, that she owes it
all. For twenty years the two have
been constant companions and it was
through his interest in Miss Keller
when she entered Radcliffe college
that Prof. Macy. at the time an In
structor in Harvard, became acQuaint-
ed with Miss Sullivan. Prof. Macy
and Miss Sullivan were married in
May, 1905, and since then have made
their home with Miss Keller at Wren
than. Prof. Macy is now one of the
editors of the Youths Companion, and
wrote the introduction to Miss Keller's

Woman Is Robbed of $500 at q
Matinee.

New York, Jan. 16.-Mrs. Robert
Fox, according to a story told the po-
lice. was drugged and robbed while at
tending a matinee last Saturday. Last
night the police arrested young wo-
man who gave her name as Alice
Moran, who has been charged by Mrs.
Fox with the theft. Mrs. Fox states
that she sat in a box at a theater and
got into conversation with a young
girl who was in the same box. The
girl admired a bracelet which Mrs.
Fox wore and she took it off and al
lowed the girl to examine it. The girl
offered Mrs. Fox some candy and after
eating it she became seriously i'll and
was assisted from the box by the girl.
Mr.. Fox was telephoned for and went
to the theater and took his wife home.
In the meantime the girl disappeared.
When Mrs. Fox recovered sufficiently
to leave the theater she found that a
bag containing $40 and jewelry worth
$3.50 were missing beside the bracelet.
The physician who attended Mrs. Fox
said she had without doubt been drug
ged and until yesterday was in grave
danger. 1t is now believed that she
will recover.

WOMEN MUST WAIT.
Sweden Is Not Yet Ready to Grant
Them Suffrage.

Stockholm, Jan. 16.-The formal
opening of the first parliament under
the reign of King Gustave took place
in this city today with simple cere-
monies. King Gustave, who was pres
ent, in the speech from the throne,
referring to the heavy responsibility
that developed upon him with the
death of King Oscar, promised, in
whole hearted zeal for the prosperity
and progress of the fatherland, al
ways to try and fulfill his duty.
cit is my hope the king said,
Gin both good and evil days to be sup
ported by my Swedish people in the
common work for the true welfare of
the fatherland."
Continuing, his majesty announced
that the suffrage bill adopted at the
last session of the Rigsdag would be
resubmitted to the present house for
final approval, but he said there was
no intention of giving the franchise to
women for the present. special COM
missions are considering joint
scheme of naval and military national
defense as well as the question of the
relations between employers and
WOrkmen.

COMMERCIAL CLEARING HOUSE.
Plan Which Appeals to Association of
Credit Men,

Chicago. Jan. ia plan for com
mercial clearing house'-an Institution
through which business houses could
settle their debts and collect their bills
among themselves without recourse to
the banks-was launched last night at
the meeting of the Chicago Credit
Mems association.
The proposal was enthusiastically re-
ceived by representatives of $50 large
business houses. A resolution was
passed to appoint a special committee
to make an investigation with a view
to devising ways and means to put the
plan into operation.
The plan is simply the adaptation of
the bankers clearing house SYSTEM -
to the needs of mercantile affairs
Large mercantile houses would proceed
at once to effect debtor and creditor
settlements among themselves by the
exchange of cancelled checks, in d
manner similar TO tho settlements made
by banks without the necessity for the
exchange of real money.
These mercantile settlements would
be made on the basis of the values of
sound mercantile accounts.

new PATTI IS HEARD.
Standing Room Was at a Premium at
the Manhattan.

New York, Jan. 16.-It is seldom in
the history of the stage that an artist
has been received with so much en-
thusiasm as greeted Nine. Tetrazzini,
when she made her first appearance
In New York last evening. The Man
haitian opera house was crowded to
such an extent that standing room was
at an enormous premium. New York's
verdict was as enthusiastic as was
that of London where the diva was
heralded as a second Patti. Singers
from the rival Metropolitan as well as
from the Manhattan company over
whelmed Nine. Tetrazzini with their
congratulations after the first act of
LA Traviata," and the singer herself
expressed her appreciation and her
gratitude. She said:
Il am content. I am happy, yes, so
very happy. The audience is enthusi-
astic. Never have I sung before an
audience so quick to see. I was so
nervous, like all artists, before 1 be-
gan singing. but now there is only that
feeling which comes when one feels
that recognition has been accorded in
full to the degree that it is deserved
Il was sure 1 would succeed beyond
any doubt. If I had not been should
not have come to New York. Yet I
was anxious, because 1t meant much
to me. Now after the first act 1 am
sure of my success.
1.-THE great audience was most kind.
My voice responded to every demand I
asked of it, and 1 could not ask for
greater good fortune in the things
which contributed to the achievement
of this night.
ITO the splendid support of my col
leagues in the cast and the orchestra
and to Maestro Campanini-who was
tower of strength at all times-I owe
much. I am delighted with everything
and everybody here this night. I shall
sing Lucia next, and perhaps I shall
please them still more, Ell? Tell them
all, the people, I am happy-very hap
