Reno Loses It's
Prestige.

The Commercial Club of Reno, Me-
vada, It seems, will now have to look
to its laurels for other advertising
matter than its divorce court proceed
ings. The world do move"-no ques-
ton about that-and while it is
moving some of the more staid centers
OF the universe come in for jostle
occasionally. Let's follow the Charles
ton News and Courier for a few lines,
to-wit:
Reno having basked in fashionable
smiles for many moons is doomed to a
great disappointment and all because
Kansas wants to get some of the
golden stream that has poured across
the Nevada frontier. AS a successor
to Dakota Reno was a great success.
Divorces were quoted cheaper in San
Francisco, it is true, but the natives
there never bothered to get them,
while certain restrictions on non-resi-
dents there made the process of Sc
curing freedom more easy in Nevada.
However, even in Reno a six months
residence is required, and it must be
actual.
The Kansas legislature has amended
the divorce laws of that state. All
that anybody who wants a divorce now
has to do is to journey to Kansas, file
an application for divorce, go back
home, return to Kansas when the case
is tried, and receive the judicial de-
cree. No longer must one remain in
the solitudes of Nevada while waiting
for liberty. Kansas Is now the
easiest way.
AS uniform divorce laws seem to be
impossible, we presume that the only
thing for the more decent states to dc
will be to refuse to recognize di
vorces granted in the lax states. For
'tunately, such course is possible, il
seems, at least to the extent of pro-
hibiting the remarriage of divorced
persons. The question could be set
tied largely by the churches and the
education of public opinion. Time
was in many places when a divorced
person had no social standing. Di
vorce carried with 1t practical ostra
cisfn. Were that the case now, in
most parts of the Union divorce would
cease to be prevalent. The vulgar rich
in New York have made divorce fash
ionable. Were 1t not so neither Ne
vada nor Kansas would bother to
weaken their divorce laws.
People who are in the habit of goine
to Reno for their quadrennial decree
of separation from the brute" OF
"cat," as the sex may be, will not be
enthusiastic over the announcement
that the Nevada hamlet is about tc
lose its proudest tail feathers. They
are used to going out there and it is
very doubtful If Kansas, even with Its
amendment" will ever hold out the
inducements so familiar at Reno.
1t is more than likely that the next
Nevada legislature will seek to offset
the force of the Kansas amendment
and give us something fresh and
original in the way of rapid fire di
vorce laws. The business element OF
that state could i'll afford not to take
some action in this matter.

The Orryillle Crescent gives the fol-
lowing account of tho railroad acci-
dent there Wednesday afternoon when
Mrs. Lucy Greer was instantly killed;
At Two o'clock this p, IN Mrs Lucy

remarkable. When the hole was full
of loose dirt they tamped it down and
then threw in more dirt and tamped
that. They apparently knew their
business thoroughly They were not
satisfied until the entrance to that
hole was blocked with solid dirt.
"Then the little rascals seemed TO
be tickled to death and touched noses
several times before they ambled off
to look for another lazy snake. All of
which makes me think that though the
rattler lives with the prairie dogs
perhaps he comes, like your wife's
folks, without invitation and without
paying any board.
"One other thing | have noticed
about these peculiar little village peo.
pie: | have often found thriving little
villages full 10 miles distant from any
known water. How do they live? DO
they take a thirty,mile trip every
time they want a drink? DO they dig

til lthey get down to water? Or, as
many plalnsmen think, is the prairie
dog natural born Kentuckian, who
never drinks water at all?
One other thing: The prairie dog
world must be subjected to epidem-
les more vast and complete in their
operations than anything among hu,
man kind, l have known a region to
be alive with them. Then they would
completely disappear for several
years. Then they would begin to come
in again. AS no one ever seems tC
have seen them migrating and as
there seems to be no reason why they
should entirely desert county il
which they have been doing well,
can only think that there are epidem
les which sweep off whole populations

! OBITUARY !
Matthew Welsh

Death came very suddenly to Mat
thew Welsh, one of the best known
residents of Monroe township. at 1850
Saturday morning at the home of his
son, Lewis G. Welsh. The deceased
had been i'll with the grip all spring
and a few weeks ago stomach trouble
developed which brought about SER
ious results. Saturday morning Mr..
Welsh was up and about the house
and partook of breakfast, after which
he laid down on the couch and without
a moments warning death came. The
members of the household thought he
was seleping, but when they went to
arouse him 1t was discovered that he
was dead. Physicians pronounced the
cause of his death heart trouble.
Matthew Welsh was born in Mon
treal, Canada, in October, 1899, be-
ing 20 years of age at the time of his
death. On November 4, 1866, he was.
united in marriage to Miss Eleanor
Critchfield, who survives him. He is
also survived by two sons, Lewis G.
Welsh and Charles Francis Welsh,
both of Monroe township, also one
granddaughter, Julia Welsh. Mr..
Welsh was one of the prominent farm
ers of Monroe township for many
years, retiring from active work about
nine wears ago and since that time
resided with his son.

some QUEER SUPERST|TIONS
AMONG THE ROYALTY

well as private dinners attended by
His Majesty.
The Emperor of Germany has a
ring he wears at all times and re-
CARDS as his own peculiar talisman,
though few are aware of this fact.
A curious history is related of it. 1t is
to the effect that in the days of Elect
or John of Brandenburg, one of the
early Hohenzollerns, toad entered
that worthy's room one night and plac-
ed small stone on the bed. The toad
then disappeared, and ever since the
stone, which has no real value, has
been treasured as one of the most pre-
cious of the house of Hohenzollern.
BY the father of Frederick the Great it
was set in ring, which since then
has always adorned the finger of the
head of the house.
The Emperor has also another ring
he highly prizes, which for centuries
has been credited with supernatural
power to protect its wearer from harm
of any kind.
This ring has a very romantic his
tory, dating from far-off days when
his ancestors, the Margraves of Nu-
remberg, followed their leaders to the
capture of the holy sepulcher from the
Moslems. The ring, which was cap
tured in hard-fought battle under
the walls of Jerusalem, came into pos
session of the Margrave Ulrich, from
whom it has descended as a highly
priced heirloom.
The ring is of massive gold, with a
square, dark.colored tsone, and is
worn by the Emperor on the middle
from the Koran that adorned the ring
when worn by Saladin and his success
sors has been removed and a Latin
cross engraved in its place.
The Emperor has many pet super
stitions. He has horror of cats, anC
none is ever permitted to appear II
his presence. AT the time of his las
visit to England all the cats at the
castles he was to visit were rounded
up and sent into exile until he hat
departed.
The Emperor affects the agate, al
this stone is said to have the proper
ty of assuring its possessor long life
health and prosperity.
There exists in Germany supersti
ton that the empire will be over
thrown when the Emperor has sevel
sons. William II. has six. The En-
peror is always careful that the an
cestral cradle of the Hohenzolern
should be used for each infant mem
ber of his family in succession. Thi
cradle Is over two centuries old an,
Is of curiously carved black oak.
Is supposed to protect the baby VIII,
sleeps in it from commissions and 9th
er childish ailments.

Baltimore SUM


The royal houses of Europe have
their own peculiar superstitions 1t
is surprising to educated people to
know what dependence exalted per-
sonages of the Old World place in
signs, omens and other witchery.
Italy offers a very striking example.
1t is believed that dire misfortune
will befall the reigning monarch If the
chamber of his predecessor be inter-
fered with till at least two genera
tions have passed. Therefor the room
of the late King Humbert at the OUR
inal is closed, no one except mem
bers OF the royal family being per nit
ted to enter it. Thus it will remain
silent and unused, like the apartment
of King Victor Emmanuel, King Hum
berts father, which is just as it was
at the time of his death some 80 years
ago.
A ring studded with diamonds and
pearls hangs suspended by golden
chain around the neck of the statue of
the Virgin of Almudena of Madrid,
which is located in one of the most
frequented parks of that city. 1t is
safer there than in the strong room
of the Bank of Spain. Thousands of
people pass it. every day and admire
it's beauty, but the greatest thief in
Spain would rather die than touch it,
as it is believed to deal out death to
whom it belongs. This ring was pre-
sented by Alfonso XII. to his consort,
Queen Mercedes, who died within a
month afterward Ere the funeral
had taken place the King bestowed
the ring on his sister Maria, and she
was dead in few days
The fatal circlet then coming again
into his possession, he presented II
to his late Queens grandmother
Queen Christina, who died three
months afterward. The King then
placed il in his own casket OF pre-
cious relics, and he lived less than q
year. The Queen Regent was not dis
posed to run any risk, and refused to
accept such deadly possession, and
had 1t hung on the statue as stated
Many Spaniards believe this ring to
be possessed of mystic powers by
which unworthy wearers of it are
slain. To worthy sovereign they
claim it will assure prosperity and Q
long life, and to its magic influence
attribute the young Kings escap,
from injury in the bomb explosion OF
his wedding day.
The King of England will on no ac
count allow two knives to lie on the
table before him together. At al
dinners held at Buckingham Palace &
clean knife is placed before each gues
with every course, and this rule must
be rigidly observed at all public al
