before the husband had succeeded
in getting much the best of his wife.

husband returned to his family and
nothing further was done. Soon af-
terward, however Barton went to
Spokane and purchased a lodging
house, leaving his family in Pullman.
He returned to this city a couple Of
weeks ago, and proceeded to make
Ale misery for his wife, with the
above result.
Mrs. Barton has now decided to
force the divorce case and has filed
an answer to the case brought over
year ago by Barton and asked the
court to compel her husband to pro
vide her suit money, In case she is
successful in her attempt to resist
the divorce asked for by Barton, she
will apply for legal separation her
self and ask the court to provide for
the payment of alimony by the erring
husband.
Mr., and Mrs. Barton are the par
ents of two children. aged about four
and six years. Public sympathy is
all in favor of the wife The de-
PENDANT will be represented by J. ".

ANOTHER RAILROAD SCHEME.
DecOrah Getting Much NOtoriety in
Railroad Circles.

According to the following Mason
City special 10 the Des Moines Capt.
tai there seems to be-a project on
foot to run a cross country steam
railway from Mason City east
through Usage to Riceville and on
through Cresco and DEBORAH to the
river at McGregor:
A number of Mason City boomers
autoed over to Usage yesterday to
interview a number of their capital
lists to interest them in the building
of steam railroad between Usage
and this city, to eventually extend
the line to Riceville on the Great
Western, thence to Cresco on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul, to
DEBORAH on branch of same line and
then to Waukon, where a branch of
the same line reaches up from Nc
Gregor. The citizens of Usage have
been wanting a Mason City outlet
for some time and have made sew
trail pilgrimages TO this city for
that purpose, and the return visit
was very favorably received.

FINDS VALUABLE PEARL.
Sells Gem to Prairie du ChIen Buyer
For Neat Sum of $1,000.

Charles Roschi, a farmer residing
few miles south of Cassville, Wis,
concluded TO lay aside farm work
for day last week and try his luck
at pearl fishing in the Mississippi,
and as a consequence is now $1,000
richer tnan before. He had labor
ed one day in a search for bivalvues
and upon opening his catch discover
ed in one of them an absolutely
perfect globe pearl of rainbow
color. Mr.. Roschi, realizing it was of
considerable value, but having no
conception as to its real worth,
showed it to number of persons
who variously estimated it at from
$500 to $1,000. John Peacock
the Prairie du Chen pearl buyer,
learning of the find last Saturday,
went to Cassvlle and closed a deal
with the owner for the gem, paying
for it $1,000 Mr.. Peacock pro-
nounced it the finest pearl he had
ever bought and also that it was
similar to the valuable pearl found
by Richard Ishmael near Harpers
pearl weighed 361a grains.
AIMING OluST pearl mas OF Jne
past few days was one at Browns
vile, Mimi, which weighed 20
grains and was sold to a st. Paul
buyer for $3.50. This latter pearl
and the one found by Roschi are the
most valuable found on the upper
river this year, but there have been
a number found tLat brought from
a few dollars to two and three nun
dred. Pearl fishing has been car
ried on quite extensively on the up
per river beds since the water has
become so low and at the high price
shells have been selling the vocation
has been quite remunerative for
the majority of those who are fol-
lowing it, together with the finds
of pearls and slugs.-Guttenbe
