PROOF.
B. R. States.


The Memphis girl who was mar
ried to two different men in four
hours time makes out q strong
case in her own behalf. She has
insisted all along that she didn't
know what she was doing when
che became the wife of husband
No. l. intimating that she was
drugged. As soon as she regain
ed consciousness she alleges she
planned to escape and when the
opportunity came she took advan-
tage of it. fastening to the man
she really loved and who imme-
diately became husband No. 2.
Along come the parents of the
young woman, however, and charge
that she doesn't know her own
mind and heart and that she was
undecided between the two when
she consented to wed husband No.
l. To this charge the young wo.
man makes answer as follows
"My parents say l was undeci.
ded and did not know my own
heart. They say that finally l con.
scented to marry Mr.. Butler. Now,
/ was married in a soiled dressing
sacqu-, sitting in a chair, with my
hair piled on my head every which
way. Does that look as if l fpal-
ly had made up nv mind to be
married?"
That ought to settle it. Nobo-
dy ever heard of a girl knowingly
and designedly submitting to the
marriage ceremony in a soiled
dressing sacque, sitting in chair
with her hair piled on her head
every which way. There is prob
ably no court in the land which
would not take .cognizance of a
disturbed mental condition iu a
girl who weds under these circum-
stances. This young woman in
Memphis who doesn't know to
whom she really owes wifely alle-
glance until the courts have deci-
ded the case need have no occa.
sion for alarm--she has absolute
proof that she wasn't in her right
mind when she swore to love and
obey husband No. l. Therefore
he has no claims on her.

Agricultural Homes.

Every young man 10 this coun.
try should seriously think of the
importance of a home on his own
land. The time is approaching
when it will be difficult to secure
a homestead even of ten acres.
Small hompsteads are the mos,
happy and secure CONDITION for
any people. The great wealth Of
France fods it's basis iu ,ile great
number of small homesteads. Now
is the time for our young men to
secure a small piece of land and
give it to the highest possible
grade of improvement and cultiva-
ton. The telephone. rural deli
very and the electric cars will soon
extend to every section aud the
rural home will be far preferable
to city life. Don't think of leav-
ing the farm. City life lie the &C.

that floats into it. Get you a ten
acre farm and stay with it, The

PESTS AS BLESSINGS.
B. r. States.

b. n. Ot6t60s
There are some who conteud that
10 the long run the boil weevill
will prove a blessing in disguise,
because it will force the people of
the South. who have so long been
dependent on one crop, to diversi-
fy, and in this way discover other
crops that will prove more proita-
BILE than cotton.
This very view of the boil vice.
vii is apparently borne out by the
experience of Missouri with GER
tain crop pests. The chinch bug
brought fax to Missouri, the grass
hopper brought the castor bean.
Japanese clover butted in aud al
falfa came as a matter of study.
This is the conclusion which Geo.
B. Ellis, secretary of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture, says
tradition justifes. When the
chinch bug played havoc in the
wheat of Missouri the farmers
looked about for some crop which
would resist the incursions of th is
pestilent insect. They found that
for some reason the chinch bug
did not or could not live upon fax,
and for a time Southwest Missou-
ri bad many friends of fax. 1t is
difficult plant to grow, however.
hard and costly to harvest, aud the
profits in it are not large. Hence
when the chinch bug disappeared
the cultivation of fax began to d.
minish. Now it is not largely ap-
preciable in the agricultural out
put of Missouri. When, in The
early '7Os, the grasshopper played
havoc with Western fields, Mis-
souri, was invaded also. The cas-.
tor bean was found by the farmer
to be the only green thing which
the grasshopper did not eat, hence
field upon field of castor beans
were planted and to this day may
be seen in that section of Nilsson.
ri, more than anywhere else in the
state, fields of this product. The
castor bean is employed in the
manufacture of an oil, of which
most boys and girls are familiar.
Japanese clover was brought iu
from the southwark nGd year by
year it is pushing its way further
up the Ozarks and down their
northern slope. 1t grows with lit.
tie or no care. Alfalfa, the most
profitable hay crop, is to be found
in nearly every section of MissOu-
ri. There ten years ago little or
none was known. The change in
Missouri crops has brought about
large diversification. Thirty wears
ago hemp was found in all the
Missouri counties. Now there is
scarcely any hemp grown in Mis-
souri, counties. The cultivation of
tobacco has also fallen off largely.

SHOE PINCHES HITCHCOCK
COngressman-EditOr IL WOrming and
SQuirminE Under cold Soldier"
Editorial.

The world-Herald of November IS, 1892,
made this slam on the brave men who up
held their country's cause from 81 to IS:
The next congress will have to wrestle
with one deficiency of $36, 100000. This is
on account of the pensions. The appropria-
tion for pensions for the next year must
be not less than S50,000.000. 1t is therefore
easy arithmetic TO perceive that the APP
pensions at the next session must aggre-
gate not less than 186,000,00 This ire
mendous sum would of itself be enough to
run a reasonable government. One would
but a large proportion is not debt because
1t was never earned by n act OF pat
riotism or heroic service. The government
is held up and bespoiled of no mean por-
ton Of this, and II seems helpless to de-
fend itself. One cannot help being curious
to exhaust the generation which feels itself
injured by the war. 1t Is safe to say that
never did q generation display such longev-
ity.
Now. Mr.. Hitchcock. editor then and
editor no1, of the World-Herald, wishes he
had never written and his paper had never
published that editorial. He is making his
fourth trial for election to congress from
this district and needs the vote of the old
soldier with whose longevity he found fault
sixteen years ago. He now finds that, de-
spite his fault finding. many of these old
soldiers are still living and able to vote
and have good memories. The shoe pinches
and to show how he is squirming to soften
the pain, this letter. a copy Of which has
been sent to many an old soldier, may in
dictate:

26, 190S.-Desr Sir; The Omaha Bee has at

MEYER RETURNS FROM EAST

overwhelmed with requests for terms and

cities, Martin Meyer. vice president of the

from Atlantic City where he attended the
annual convention and exposition Of street
car men and where he introduced the new
safety guard. The convention was At
tended by the heads OF all street railway
companies. including presidents, general
managers, superintendent, purchasing and
claim agents and manufacturers with this
large and representative attendance the
promoters Of the new appliance were
brought in direct contact with the official
heads OF the various departments.
THE convention was a new experience
with us, and we were not prepared for
anything on 30 large a SCALE said Vice
President Meyer. IAN available space on
the Immense pier was occupied by exhibit
tors, and after reviewing the situation we
felt somewhat timid as to our reception,
but this feeling entirely left us from the
moment the exposition opened. We were
literally besieged by street railway men,
who through reason Of our circulars pre-.
viously sent them were asked to investigate
our invention.
Officials from all parts Of the United
States and Canada sought our booth and
patiently waited their turn to get the bene-
fit Of a demonstration of our device, with
the result we nave hundreds OF a~pplica-
tions from the largest to the smallest cit
les which have requested us to present terms
and give them practical demonstrations on
their cars.
Public safety commissions from the east
ern state and Canada called on us in bodies,
without a single exception they compli-
mented us highly and predicted a great
future for the Meyer Safety Guard.
Had we had a dozen models Instead OF
two and a dozen men to manipulate them
they would have been kept busy from the
opening to the close of the convention.
ut now remains for us to- get in shape
to meet this great demand, and our direct
ors are now working with that purpose in
view. conttacts having been let for the
devices. which will be in such shape that
we can go from city to city and give them

MORGAN HAS A LIVELY BOUT
Brothers whom He Attempts to
Arrest start In to Clean
Oflcer Ont.

Emergency Officer Morgan of the police
force had an encounter last night with two
men at 263l Capitol avenue which will go
down in police tradition as one of the
fights of the year.
Two men, said to be brothers, by the
Eame of Kiser, occupy the basement at
this address. and a complaint was made
that they were creating a disturbance.
Officer Morgan went to the scene on a
motorcycle, and when he announced him
self as a police officer the two brothers
announced their intention of throwing him
out.
One of the men, who is large and heavy,
grabbed him with the evident intention of
holding him while the other and smaller
one proceeded to beat him up. Morgan is
a professional wrestler. He broke the hold
and landed on the larger of the men on
the point of the jaw. This gave him a

seconds respite, during which he drew his
club and waded In. Each man was knocked
down several times. but each came up
again ready for fight. Finally both were
stretched on the floor and Morgan went
to the nearest patrol box to call the
wagon.
While he was ON this errand the men
recovered sufficiently to make their escape
and at a late hour last night had not been
apprehended. 1t is expected. however, that
they will be picked up within q short time
and then they will have n variety OF
charges to face.
Officer Morgan came out Of the melee
without a scratch. but 1t is said that his
two opponents are sadly in need of the
services of a physician.
