gence for Congress to adjourn without
passing some measure OF protection In

imminent. Mr.. vreeland said that his
bill was an emergency measure only. and

THIS SURELY is THE LIMIT
Chicago Court Puts a RemarkabI
kink in the Payment Of
AItmony,

Chicaso's Cupid is shrieking with laugh
ter. All because a poor mere man found
mat he would have to pay for part OF his
divorced wife's wedding gown when she
leads another man TO the altar.
It's a curious situation, but that Is the
dilemma which confronts r. o. Kruger.
whose former wife. Mrs. Pearl l.. Kruger.
intends to go to the altar some time this
month with Frank L. Boud, a Chicago
artist. Now, Mrs, Kruger has been mar
ried once to Mr.. Boud, but Judge Farlin O
BAH a few weeks ago decided that the
ceremony which was performed in Crown
Point Ind, was illegal, and that Mrs. Kru-
ger was still Mrs. Kruger. This so bewil-
dered Mrs. Kruger that in her despair she
decided that she would have her marriage
TO Mr., Boud annulled. The Judge decided
the marriage was illegal because the Kru-
ger-Boud %nuptials took place in less than a
year after Mrs. Kruger had divorced Mr..
Kruger.
Mr. Kruger IL anything but pleased with
the predicament which Cupid has Matched
Tor aim. He rebeiled strongly when Judge
Bali declared that he would have to nav
alimony to Mrs. Kruger. Mr.. Kruger took
the case TO the appellate court, but he was
ordered to pay alimony pending the appeal.
His first payment should nave been made
July l. but he was out OF town. He has
TO pay $50 a month and Mrs. Kruger Boud
expects to have the money handed to her
when Mr.. Kruger returns to Chicago.
when are you going to marry Mr.. Boud
for the second timer Mrs. Kruger was
asked at her home. 2O7s Kenmore avenue.
Really the date is not settled definitely.
However, 1t will occur some time this
month" said Mrs. Kruger.
DC you expect your husband to paw Won
your alimony, which was due july 1?'
she was asked.
Il certainly do. Mr.. Kruger is out OF
town, but | know that he will nav tbe
months alimOny when he returns was the
reply.
Would IT be indicate to inquire what
use you are going to make OF the alimonv ~
he ventured,
Mrs, Kruger laughed and blushed.

mitted.

Well money always helps. However.

Mr.. Kruger Of paying alimony?'
1T will!' said Mrs. Kruger. decidedly
When Mr.. Boud and are married Mr.

CHIEF REUSED ON ROAD LAWS
Tired Of Violations, Determines to
Make Some Arrests.
SERVES FAIR WARNING TO ALL
VIII Place some Of Hts PstroImen On
Mounts 60 run Down the
Automobiles that Disre-
gard the Laws.

Take warning. by the orders Of Chief Of
Police Donahue.
Autoists. drivers, bicycle riders-everyone
must keep to the right OF the road in the
city Of Omaha IL he wants to keep out OF
the station and keep his name off ehe
police docket.
II am tired Of this constant disobedience
Of the road laws and purpose stationing
two policemen on each crossing in the bust
ness section Of the city and make people
keep to the right Of the road, whether they
want TO or not" says the chief. ut Is
nothing short Of miraculous that we have
not had all kinds Of serious accidents on
account of people driving and riding wher-
ever they want to and In whatever direc-
ton their fancy chooses, but ! am not
going 10 run the risk any longer and In the
future people will have to keep to the
right OF the road and turn square corners.
Also, there Ia not going to be any exceed
ing OF the speed limit by autoists and peo-
pie with motor cycles II the police depart
ment can help It."
The chief says he has been considering
the matter for some time and has finally
decided that the only way out OF the diff
ficulty is to bring IN some OF the patrol
men in the outlying districts and station
them on the crossings in the principal part
of the city and make people keep to the
right OF the road. He says he will put a
policeman on each end Of the crossing and
whenever anyone comes along going the
wrong way he will be nabbed.
VIII Have Peach of story.
IF you reporters come around some
Monday morning I will give you a peach
of q story said the chief, ''for on one Of
these fine warm Sunday afternoons our
mounted force amounted on motor cycles)
is going after these fellows who persist in
exceeding the speed limit and you will
have a nice list to publish. There won't be
any monkey work about this next arrest
Of speeders, and they will be fined, whether
rich or poor.
Il won't tell you when we are going to
make, these arrests, for that would be CIV
ing the speeders a tip. but some Monday
we will have a list for you as long as your
ARM
The chief says he ought to have a larger
force and more motor cycles, but he is go
ing to try to stop the speeding by hiring
motor cycles and make the people keep ia
the right by calling in policemen from the
outlying districts.

PUT UP A GOOD FRONT
sctousn of RefnR ssWeu
Dressed" Acts as a Tonic On
the Mind.

John F, Fitzgerald, editor, publisher and
one time mayor OF Boston. will not tell
how much money he spends yearly on his
clothes, despite the fact that he follows
the example of a prominent London physi-
clan, who breaches that good clothing is
the first essential of a successful life.
He Omit that there is a scientific as
we'll as al esthetic reason why a man
should wear good clothes. and he is wi ling
- be classed among the well dressed. -
but he refuses to let anybody into the
secret of how much ready cash is needed
In order to make as favorable an impress
sion on the world as he usually makes.
II cannot give you any idea" said Mr..
Fitzgerald, but to make up for this Sc.
erecy, the better, bigger buster Boston
man furnished a great deal OF advice to
others, THE average man earning s2 a
week should have at least two suits OF
clothes" said Mr.. Fitzgerald. land with
due care he can make them last for quite
a while. Two pairs Of shoes at about
$50 a pair would prove ample for ali his
immediate needs. II the man has a
working knowledge OF bargains then hi,
path toward being a good dresser will be
sim easter.
"A good suit OF clothes, besides procurinf
for the wearer a recommendation at frs
hand. acts as a tonic on his mind: i
really aids in achieving success, for Tn,
consciousness OF being attired in a shabb,
suit OF clothes dissipates mental energy
/ would like to have the city provide uni
forms for all its employees, for this wouI,
greatly aid in making the men self re
specting oy being well dressed. and insis
upon neatness and cleanliness in appear

"A good suit of clothes stimulates sci
confidence" and he gave a careful look a
his own attire. 1T is absolutely neces
sary that a man be dressed neatly an,
well set n. II he is TO gain any foothol,
In this world.
'of course Il is too bad and il seem
unfair that personal appearance should b
judged on the same scale as mental apti
tude, but these are the worlds rules. an.

SOUTH WING OF HIGH SCHOOL
Proposition May he Acted ON at Mon
day Night Meeting OF
Beard.

Tho proposition of beginning the con-
struction at Gee Of the south wing to tho
high school building will come before the
Board OF Education at it's meeting Monday
night and IL is probable. in the opinion Of
j. G. Lindsay, member Of the buildings and
property committee, that an architect will
then be engaged to draw the plans for the
new addition. 1t is understood that there
is unanimity in the committee that the
wing should be built Immediately.
When the large issue Of school bonds
was voted 1t was on the condition that a
portion OF the funds would be used for en-
larging the high school building. Large
slices have been made in the bond issue for
a number OF ward schools, but nothing was
done for the high school. Finally, a month
ago, J. L. McCaGue. chairman of the
finance committee, introduced a resolution
In board meeting that no more funds be
appropriated for ward schools until some
thing was done for the high school. This
was passed and the money remaining in
the building fund OF the Board Of Educa-
ton will be used for the building OF the
addition to the high school. excepting the
paying for ward school work previously
contracted for.
At the meeting OF the board Monday
night bids will be opened for the oonstruc-
ton Of the four-room addition to the Far
nam school and 1t is also possible that
some further steps may be taken in the
building Of the sixteen-room Omaha View
school to cost about S75. 900 and the twelve.

WRECKERS' WORK FAILED.
Passing of Switch Engine Saves Pan-
 handle Flyer.

Washington Pa.-The passing of shifting engine, which the would be train wreckers had not counted upon undoubtedly averted serious disaster to the eastbound flyer from St. Louis to Pittsburg on the Panhandle railroad of the Pennsyl- vania system, between here and Me Donald, late Saturday night. An ob- struction was placed on the tracks in such manner experienced railroad men say, that nothing could have saved the fast train had it not been discovered.
 The switching engine ran into the obstruction and was ditched. A piece of rail was laid across the track and firmly wedged in position. Railroad detectives are working on a clue. which Is expected to result in arrests The flyer ie one of the most impor- tant on the road in passenger and ex press traffic.

A tornado struck Lake Village Monday evening about ' o'clock and did considerable damage. The cloud went from west to east and passed south of there.
 The wind struck Lake Village from the south: The galvanized roof of the old building south of the court house was lifted and carried 100 feet into the court house yard, where it plowed up the ground. The top and one side of Joe Davis boathouse were blown away and several houses in the water, used to harbor gasoline launches, including the ferry landing, were blown away and demolished. These were torn tc pieces. The Episcopal church was moved fully five feet northward and put on the ground. The pier was turn ed over The negro church, used by the Sanctified sect, was blown over and partially wrecked Some few persons were scratched but not seri- ously hurt, so far as reported.

FIRE BURNS 25 HOUSES.
East St. Louis Loses $1oo,Goo in City's
 Worst Blaze.

East St Louis, Ill-Tn gale of wind, the most disastrous fire East St. Louis has ever known, reekoned by the number of buildings burned. began at 3:30 o'clock Monday after noon, and in an hour and q half had destroyed 9 residences. A fair estl. mate of the loss is $l00,00G. On the General Roofing company plant there was an insurance of $1S7,000. Insur- ance men said last night that they did not think the loss on the plant would be more than S45000. The in surance on the part of the plant that was burned was $39, ,500 and the loss will probably be total on that part Of the plant, but there will be no large loss elsewhere on the property, it is thought
 o. R. Emigh, superintendent of the works, estimates the loss at much more than the figures quoted by the insurance men, and among the prin- cipal items he mentions II engines. worth S9,000 each; also a large amount of stock, the damage 10 which can not be accurately estimated until the salvage Is determined
 The 25 houses burned were all frame structures and not worth over s1,000 each. The loss on furniture. etc, did not average over $500 to a house.
