Divorce Law Can't Be podued.

Iowa's new divorce law, which pre-

by consent of the judge granting the

states than Iowa, according to reports

divorced parties would simply go to

America Win. the Olympic.

The Olympic games closed at London
last week with America the winner of the
highest score, Great Britain second. The
Americans secured most everything in
the field and track events. There was
more trouble this year than at any previ-
Gus Olympiad, especially on account of
rulings by the directors calculated to in
jure the Americans. Thus in the 400
metre race it was declared IN because an
American runner had fouled an English
man and the runner was disqualified,
though the Americans were given no
chance for hearing. Hayes of the Irish
American A. c. won the great Marathon
race Friday. The Italian, Dorando led al
most up to the finish, where he collapsed
and was dragged across the line by excited
officials. The race was first awarded to
him, but on protest it went to Hayes,
who was close behind and who finished
strong. Longboat, the Canadian, who
won former Marathon, fell out early.
Most of the leading hnishers were Amer
leans. The trophies of the Olympic were
conferred Sunday by Queen Alexandra.

batting has been swept away by decision
by Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker,
composing the United States circuit court

SION of last week held that the former
one was in error as to the number OF
offences and the method of figuring the
fine. President Roosevelt has ordered
the attorney-general TO proceed to the re-
trial, with the aid of Attorney Frank B.
Kellogg. In his statement the president
declares there is no question about the
guilt of the defendant, and that he would
regard it a gross miscarriage il through

ishment that would be meted out to

August Eberhard was arrested at Pat

the murder of his aunt by shooting near
that place few days before. He lured
her and her pretty daughter from Vienna
by the promise that he would make them
a home and marry his cousin. Instead,
he wanted the money he knew she would
bring in order to marry New York vau-
deville actress. He led the women onto a
railroad track and fired on them in the
darkness from between cars. His aunt
fell dead, and his cousin was seriously,
but not fatally, wounded.
