Return From a Weeks Stay in Camp at

Company c returned home Sunday
night from Watertown, where they
spent a week in camp. They all report
a pleasant and profitable time and
were very sorry that they had to break
camp so soon. The Brookings CON-
pany made an excellent showing and
the impression among encampment Wis
itors was that they are tho best com.
pany of the state guard. Much praise
was given the officers of the company,
especially First Sergeant Charley
Brown, who was easily the best officer
holding that position in camp.
The boys did some excellent shoot
ing during the week, Private Wickre
scoring 1O7, n of the highest marks
made. Those scoring SO out of a pos
sible $50 were rated as marksmen or
experts, while those scoring below
that are rated as first class, second
class and third class according to the
score made. From the Watertown
Public Opinion which published the
scores of all of the companies, we get

S0BS AND SMILES ON STAND
Mrs. sOren G. Peterson Becomes
Almost HystericaI in Telling
of Marital Trouble.

Alternately laughing and crying. Mrs.
Soren G. Petersen related her marital
troubles In Judge Kennedy's court, where
her husbands divorce suit is being tried.
Mrs. Pedersen's testimony was frequently
interrupted by sobs and at times she be-
came almost hysterlcal.
She related a number of trivial causes
which led to q~uarrels between herself and
her husband. Once they quarreled because
she wanted to hang long curtains in the
kitchen. Another source of discord was the
fact she wanted the Ice box In the kitchen,
while he wanted 1t out on the back porch.
Again they quarreled because he did not
like the arrangement of the furniture in
the house after she had changed it.
She related the story Of a %scandalous
nature she told to several witnesses for
Mr.. Peders before the separation took
place and testified the story was true. She
said she had crept upstairs on her hands
and knees to listen to what was going on
when she learned of the alleged scandal.
Wednesday several witnesses called by
Mr.. Petersen testified she had told them
the story and that 1t would cost Mr..
Petersen considerable money. The case
will probably occupy another day or two
in court.

Home Treatment
for Skin Dis eases

The recent discovery that the drug
cltroN Is a cure for eczema, letter. salt
rheum and other skin diseases has been
OF unestimable value to those suffering
from all fOrms OF skin diseases. The
treatment is simple, indeed-as it gem
,islly is when the right remedy is at
last discovered. . Purchase a small sealed
package Of Pure citroN, just as it comes
from the chemical works.
Dissolve a ~teaspoonful of citrox in
two tablespoonfuls OF warm water and
battle the affected skis twice daily. us
ing a fresh solution each time for the
Treatment.
III, discovery that eitrox would cure
skin diseases is claimed by several scien-
lists btt ina all probability DR.. j. e. Cur
rier OF London, England. is the person to
whom the credit OF the discovery should
be given. As it Is with most important
discoveries, there are many ready to claim
the credit now that einox is proving OF
u value.

NOW FOR THAT PAVING TRUST
Grand Jury Calls Witnesses in Some
Sort Of Inquiry.
GOWN SAYS THERE IS A RING
Assertion of the General at Receni
Trial that Combine Existed Sup
posed to Have Brought
investigation.

Is the county grand jury investigating
charges which have been made severa
times In the past that Omaha and Douglas
county are in the grip OF a paving trust?
From the witnesses who have been callet
before the grand jury in the last two OF
three daye II is believed the subject of paw.
ing is receiving considerable attention. Sew.
eral employees in the paving department OF
the city have been called up and examined
and Thursday Dan Butler. city clerk, ana
f. d. Van Court, a prominent paving con.
tractor, were also before the jury.
The charges that there Is a paving rims
were made in a suit before Judge Estells
n couple OF weeks ago by Van Courts at.
torney. General John C. Gown. General
Gown asserted then that the city was In
the grip OF a ring and that no contractor
outside this ring could get a contract with
the city. He asserted this same ring was
now trying to get control OF the county
paving.
The opposing lawyer in reply to the
charges Of General Gown asserted there
was another ring Of county favorites from
which his client had been barred. On a
number Of occasions charges more or less
indefinite have been made that local paving
contractors are working under an agree.
ment. but no tangible proof has ever beer
offered.
The presence OF paving men and witnesses
from the engineering and paving department
OF the city has led to the rumor that these
charges are being looked into.

divorce laws have neen almost a scandal
for years, uas adopted a new law re-
quiring one years residence before appli-
cation can be made for divorce, Nebraska,
and especially Omaha, is likely to be
flooded with divorce litigation within the
mex few years unless some change is
made in the law.
From his experience on the bench Judge
Kennedy is Of the opinion the law should
be revised in these particulars:
First-Personal service should be had on
the defendant wherever possible and serv-
ice by publication should be allowed only
on an order of the court after A showing
by the plaintiff.
Second-A residence Of one year in the
county should be required instead of six
months.
Third-The prohibition against the d.
vorced parties remarrying should extend
over one year instead of six months.
Fourth-The state should be represented In
all cases either by the couhty attorney OF
by an attorney appointed by the court tc
be paid out OF fees taxed against the nti-
giants.
Flve-People who move here from other
states should not be given divorces for acts
committed in the other state unless the
acts are grounds for divorce in that state.
Personal Service Important.
of these provisions the most important
in my opinion is the one requiring persona
service. 1t is "a farce to allow service by
publication in some little paper that ha,
practically no circulation whatever. Per
sonal service should be demanded excep.
where It is absolutely impossible 20 fin
the defendant and then 1t should be al
lowed only after a showing has been mad,
TO the court as to the conditions"
Law public sentiment in regard TO mar.
riages is responsible for hasty and III ad,
vised unions and quick divorces, In JudE,
Kennedy's opinion, and he suggests the EVIL
might be overcome in a measure by som,
requirement for previous notice like the
publication OF the bans
THE real trouble is not so smuch las
marriage laws as lax public sentiment IN
regard to marriages" said Judge Kennedy
"our standards of life are not as higi
as they should be and a strong public sen.
timent in regard to the marriage relation,
would help matters. The real place FOL
adjusting matters is at the marriage enc
