INHUMAN TREATMENT

Of Attachment.

Katherine A. Buck is the plaintiff
and Herman A. Buck the defendant
in suit for divorce filed this morning
in tae district court, in which ths
plaintiff seeks absolute separation, ali
mony, the custody of the two children
and protection on the grounds of cruel
and inhuman treatment to such ex-
tent as to endanger plaintiffs life.
The suit recites that on May IA,
1904, defendant and plaintiff were unit
ed at Chicago, and that there are two
children, Helen, aged four years and
Harold Herman, aged three years.
THAT because of defendants habits,
bal temper and bad character he is not
fit to have the custody and control of
said children.
THAT defendant is a journeyman
tailor and able to earn good living
for his wife and children, but that
plaintiff has no means of supporting
herself and children except by her
labor from day to day.
THAT since marriage defendant has
become habitual dunkard.
THAT since marriage defendant has
become addicted to using abusive Ian.
guage to her, striking her in the
mouth with his fists, and threatening
to kill her before strangers.
THAT defendant has been guilty OF
adultery with one or more persons.
The plaintiff prays for absolute di
vorce from defendant and custody and
sole possession of children and that
on final hearing she be granted ali
mony and that writ of attachment be
issued by this court without bond at
taching property.

bringing the government expenses
down to the revenues and thus WHIP
ing out the present deficit
In general it is the purpose of the
treasury officials to adopt new de-
signs for different denominations and
classes of paper money that are
simpler and more artistic than the
present ones. 1t is tie feeling of the
officials and of the artists that the
present designs are altogether too
elaborate, with too much scroll work,
etc More plain surface, they believe,
would greatly improve the appearance
Of the bills. Many new precautions
are to be taken against counterfeiting.
Ex-President McKinley's portrait al
ready is carried on bank notes of GER
tain denominations and therefore will
h--rdly be used to decorate the gov
eminent issues. The portraits OF 9TH
err deceased presidents and prominent
Americans, however, may be looked
for, bearing in mind that they will
appear upon all classes Of currency
of an equal denomination, whether
treasury note, silver certificate, gold
certificate or greenbacx.
Inc matter of change in the size
of the notes is given the most con-
Germ, for it is realized that If this
takes place the issues of bank notes
eventually will have to conform. In
asmuch as $5oO,OOO,oOO in bank notes
have been printed recently and stow
ed away, the change in the size is
somewhat Of question to consider.

corn, pastures and late potatoes. Corn
has made remarkably rapid advance
ment and in few places has had
enough moisture to insure a good
crop. Over the central and southern
districts, the conditions have been
entirely different. Corn is firing badly
on light, sandy soils. PASTURES are
brown, potatoes are drying up and
stock water is beginning to be scarce
in many localities. Corn on rich soil
and in fields which had been well cult

well, but must soon have rain.
