There is no doubt that the nomina-
''tion of Mr. Wilson would add very
greatly to the strength of the ticket
In the Eastern States, especially In
New York and New Jersey. Although
the president Of great university,
Mr.. Wilson has for many years made a
close study of government and public
affairs generally.
He has come as closely to analyzing
American institutions accurately as has
any man after James Bryce. the Eng.
llshman. Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Clevc-
land have been neighbors and grea!
friends for many years. and his nomi-
nation would make IL certain that the
support OF the conservative wing OF
the party would be given TO the ma.
tlonal ticket. AT least, that is what
the advocates Of the nomination o.
Mr.. Wilson assert.
Born In Augusta county, fifty-twc
years ago. Mr.. Wilson was educated a,
the University OF Virginia, Princeton
and Johns Hopkins, and practiced law
in Atlanta for time. He had occu.
pied the chair OF Jurisprudence anc
when he was elected president of tn,

FAIR WEATHER CONTINUES
Prediction for Saturday Is That Con-
ditions Will Be Little Changed
New England Cold.

The prediction of the local weather
bureau for today is that fair weather
will prevail. This condition will be
due to the continuation of the high
pressure, which yesterday caused fair
weather in a large number of states.
The prediction also is that it will be
colder today.
Back in New England they felt the
chilly blasts yesterday. The station at
Mortified VT, reported a temperature
of degrees below zero, with maxi
mum of 80. Winnipeg was cold with
only above and % for high; at Sault
Ste. Marie it was and 16; Washing
ton, Is and 30; New York, Is and 36;
Chicago, % and 80; Charleston, 40 and
so: Jacksonville, 40 and So; Portland,
Ore, AZ and So; San Francisco, As and
So; Los Angeles, IS and rs. In Neva-
da, at TonOpah, the record was 80 and
4S, with % and 46 at Winnemucca- The
Temperature in Montana was not half
bad yesterday. At Havre there was a
cold of 20 and a maximum of AZ; at
Helena it was 26 and IS.
The comment Of - the bureau reads.
High barometric pressure extended
over the Pacific and Atlantic states,
plateau and Rocky mountain slope,
causing fair weather over most OF the
country. Low pressure was reported
over the west gulf states, extending
northward. attended by some cioudi-
ness and high winds, but very little
precipitation. Lightf rains or SHOWS
occurred over portions of Oregon, Ida
no, Utah, wyoming, Nebraska, LOuisi-
ana, New York and Pennsylvania. The
high pressure over this section will
cause continued fair and cold weather
in this vicinity tonight.

WIFE WAS DETERMINED
TO HAVE SCOTCHMAh
G.. H. Chilvers Gets Divorce at Fri
day Matinee-Anna B. Keebey
Also Gets q necree


A Scotchman by the name of McHassett
apparently caused the separation of G.
H. Chilver and his wife. Agnes NJ Chill
yer. Chilver was granted a divorce by
Judge Morse yesterday, at the regular
Friday matinee, and Mrs. Alice Fair
clough was responsible for the informal
ton concerning the alleged Vaccinations
of the Scotchman.
Mrs. Chilver used to visit me-" she
said, but when she came here in August,
1905, l did not think she was acting right
and told her that she need not come to
see me again. She said that she was go
ing to have Scotchman by the name of
McHassett, even if she had to go to
Mexico to get a divorce, and shortly aft
erwards she went to Ogden with him.
That is all l know about it,
Chilver said that he was married at st.
Louis, Mo, Aug. g. 1899, and that his wife
left him at Hutchinson, Kas., Aug 8, 1900,
going to Denver and from there to the
coast by way of Salt Lake. He intimated
that there was another man implicated.
Anna B. Keebey, coy little woman,
was separated from Thomas NJ. Keebey.
She answered all the questions put TO her
in most precise and convincing manner
and, when asked whether her husband
was an able bodied man, replied with
some show of pride:
He was a perfect physical specimen in
every sense of the word
Mrs. Keebey said that she resides at 731
North Second West street, and that she
married Keebey in Texas IN 1SO2. he Is
a locomotive engineer and earns approx
mately $175 q month. Since September,
1906, he has given her nothing for her sup
port and she does not know where he is
NOW.
Era V. O'Brien was given a divorce
from Charles O'Brien. She was married
in April, 1885, and seven children were
born of the union. She claimed that her
husband had been very cruel to her, and
on Nov. 5, 1907, she said that he had
beaten her severely. Besides a divorce
she was granted the CUSTODY of the mi
nor children.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Members Show a Disposition to Get
Down to Business.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-The house of
representatives today resumed its ac-
tivity, and for over five hours transact
ed business of a public nature. Nate
rial progress was made with the bill to
codify, revise and amend the criminal
laws Of the United States, which was
taken up after some routine bills had
been disposed of. An attempt by Mr.
Littlefield of Maine to amend the bill
so as to afford protection to aliens in
the matter Of civil rights failed by a
decisive vote after considerable discus
sion.
The feature of the session was a brief
address by Mr.. BurlesOn of Texas, who
credited Senator Foraker and other Re-
publicans with having charged the
president with the responsibility for
the recent financial panic.
The house adjourned at SIP p. m. I'M
til tomorrow, after an effort having
been made by the Democrats for CON
sideratioE of the code bill.
