At last it looks as If at least some
of the anomalies of English divorce
law are to be removed A bill has
been presented in the house Of com
mons making it lawful for any per-
son oman or woman) to sue for dl-
vorce in the high court of summary
jurisdiction for the summary dissolu-
ton of his or her marriage.
l. When teh court is satisfied that
the husband or wife of such person
is incurably insane, and has suffered
from such insanity for a period of not
less than five years
Or IL where the husband Or wife
of such person has been senteIced to
penal seryitude for ten years or long
err.
The bird and last clause is one Of
even greater importance Ii provides
that from the time Of the passing of
this all DEGREES for a judicial sepa-
ration and all orders for separation
shall, after a period of five years,
have the same force as a decree abso-
lutte for dissolution of marriage UNI
less the husband and wife so sepa-
before the expiration of the five years
With regard to this last clause there
is a very large section OF the com.
munity, including many leading men,
who viii be inclined to welcome such
reforms.
Nearly two years ago Sir Goren
Barnes, the president of the divorce
court severely criticized the system Of
permanest separation without divorce
as having a distinct tendency to eli.
courage misconduct.
With regard to the other clauses Of
the bill, among all classes who tol.

keeping a man or woman bound for
years, possibly for life, to an incur

The Divorce Law Reform assocla
ton has received thousands of pite-
Gus letters in the past few yeas, tpm
men and women suffering under this
injustice.
The bill is received with passive
sympathy by the suffragettes, Miss

would if passed, alleviate, her orea-

Corn Show.

Now for the Corn Show. 1t is
the farmers show and they will
show the natives and strangers
what corn is and that Korn is
King.
Remember, select one well finish
ed ear and then nine more just as
near like it and bring it to the
Democrat Office so it can be regu-
larly entered.
If you have both the white and
yellow, bring both kinds and show
the world at large what Missouri
does even in the wet seasons.
The main object in the corn show
is to cause friendly rivalry among
the farmers so as to cause pro-
duction of more corn to the acre
and a better quality of corn, or to
cause the grand old state to be the
first corn state or producer of corn
in the Union.
Bring your corn in any time af-
ter Saturday and up to and includ-
ing Saturday Nov. 29, at which
date the entries will close.

We do not mean that the SIS, $3.50

other farmers what is the best, how
to get the seed and how to cult

HADLEYISM
Bearing Fruit. What will The Har-
vest Be?

There was something doing on
the Wabash accommodation flom
st. Louis last night just before it
pulled into Centralia. A crowd of
about fifteen negroes, all loaded to
the gills, boarded the train at Mexi.
co and went into the smoker where
there were several white men. They
had not been on the train long
when they became boisterous and
one of the white men called them
down. At that time there was a
big negro buck standing in the aisle
of the train cursing and raising cain
in general. When a white passenger
told him to stop the noise all of his
bunch got in and told him to stay
there as long as he wanted to and
make all the noise he could. About
that time Sheriff W. G. Houston,
who was returning from jefferson
City, appeared on the scene and a
warm fight followed. The negro
still refused to stop his noise so the
sheriff few into him with his fists.
He had to almost beat the negro's
head into jelly before he would
give in and after he had partially
conquered him the rest of the
bunch got smart and Mr.. Huston
had to show them their place.
When the train stopped at Centra-
liza the negro made an effort to get
away from the sheriff and another
good beating was administered to
him after which he was willing to
come to Moberly without any more
trouble. At Centralia fully twenty
people shook hands with Mr.. Hus-
ton, congratulating him upon his
bravery and the manner in which
he corralled the bunch, which has
a reputation of being bad.
1t takes some nerve to 90 into a
bunch of fifteen or twenty negroes
lone handed, especially when they
are all shot" but Sheriff Huston
went after them like he meant bus
ineSs and after a ten-minute fight
he had them under control. He
sustained a severely mashed finger
in the wrangle and is deserving of
much praise for his good work.
He brought the negro to Moberly
and locked him in Jail where he
will be kept until Monday at which
time he will be turned over to Wa
bash secret service agent, Harry
Hutton.
This wrangle right after the Re
publican victory looks as if the ne
groeS are starting rather soon Mo
