Easy Divorce h old Times.


 The code of King Khanimurabi of Assyria. whose oate is approximately 22OO R. O.. which has been disciphered from piIlar discovered at Susa, deals exhaustively with the subject of di- vorce. One of the most Interesting clauses Is the following: If the wife of man who dweIls in the house of that man has set her face to go forth and has acted the fool and wasted his house and impoverished his house. they shall call her to account. If the husband shall say. Igput her away he shall put her away. She shall go her way For her divorce he shall give her nothing"
 "one" as Pronoun.
 I have never been smftten with the use of the word ''one' as q pronoun. It takes word juggIer to attempt 1t and get away with 1t. Unless one feels that one has won ones spurs in this respect and can extricate oneself from the mess one gets oneself and one's readers into one should avoid the use of the word one in referring to oneself as one would q plague.-London Idler.

 There are events occurring in every community which, if reported in the To- cal paper, would create commotion lit- tie dreamed of. What to report and what not to report often perplexes the editor. The local editor from necessity almost constantly finds himself between two fires, and whichever way he turns he is sure to be unjustly treated.

fortune which escaped the notice of
the Christmas committees of the city

tuberculosis sanitarium. He had been
unable to do any work for a long time
and his family( consisting of his wife

Their needs were not made known
until last Monday, when a neighbol

or food in the house, and that all were
lacking in sufficient warm clothing
Through the lkindheartedness of neigh
bors some food was provided to NEE
temporary needs and some coal wa
furnished. while the situation was re
ported to the local authorities, who ar
looking into the matter. A surplus tina
was left over from the Christmas fun
of the Congregational church will b
given to the family, and Poor Commits
sioner Morrison is investigating an
probably will do something.

GENE MURPHY
PASSES AWAY
WELL KNOWN AND POPULA
TRAVELLING MAN DIED THIS
MORNING AFTER SHORT
ILLNESS.

Eugene Murphy, one of the most
nopular and best known of the COM
mercial travellers making their head
quarters in this city passed away this
morning at about quarter past five
o'clock at his home on Water street,
after an illness of but "a few days
from pneumonia. Mr.. Murphy had
heen confined to his home for about a
week with n severe cold, from which
however, no serious results were an
ticipated. During the past couple Of
DAYS his malady appeared to have de-
yeloped into pneumonia, but his condi-
ton yesterday appeared to be some
what improved, so that the tidings Of
his demise came as great shock this
morning TO the community.
Mr.. Murphy was widely known
throughout the upper peninsula and
northern wisconsin, which territory
ne had covered for the past fifteen
wears as the representative of various
concerns. He was always genial and
friendly, good natured and cheerful,
with a cordial greeting and hearty
handclasp for all, so that he was uni
yersally liked by all he met and who
will sincerely mourn his loss, while in
the copper country his friends were
legion and his demise will be deeply
and sincerely mourned.
He was born at Derby, Connecticut,
thirty-eight years ago, and went while
a boy to Appleton, Wisconsin. From
the latter place he removed To BESSIE
mer. and came thence to Hancock if
teen years ago, securing employment
as a printer i'm which capacity he
worked on the old Progress and Copper
Journal. Twelve years ago he became
representative for upper Michigan of
the Koch & Loeber company, wooden
ware manufacturers, of Milwaukee. re-
naming in their employ for twelve
years. up to the time the firm went
out of business. Three years ago he
took a position as salesman for the
Venus Paper company of Duluth and
while with them he originated a form
of spelling tablet now extensively used
salesman for the Day & Brigwall COM
pany of Milwaukee, dealing in granite
ware
He is survived by his wife and two
children, living here. brother and two
sisters in the east, an uncle. over

BODIES
TO CONSOLIDATE
CONoREoATioNALIsTs ADOPT
COMMITTEES SUGGESTION
FOR UNION OF CHURCH
AND SOCIETY.

At the annual meeting OF the Con-
gregational church held last evening
the committee appointed sCme time
ago TO bring i'm form of consolda-
ton, together with a creed and con-
fession of faith, made its report. That
part of the report which recommend
ed the consolidation OF the two gov
erning bodies of the Congregational
church, the society and the church
proper, was adopted and Thursday
evening, January II, was set as the
date Of a joint special meeting of the
two bodies To take action. The stat
utes OF the state provide a method of
consolidation and the action to be TAX
en- will be in conformity with the laws
provisions. The society was formed
at the time of organizing the Congre-
gational church here nearly fifty years
ago, and has had the supervision of
the real estate and the property while
the church organization has had the
supervision and management of the
religious activities and work. This
form has been found to involve num-
erous cumbersome and conflicting fea-
lures and it has been decided to be
for the best interests of the congre-
CATION to unite tho two.
A large number of other reports
were submitted at the meeting last
evening. including those of the clerk,
treasurer, pastor, secretary and treas
urer OF the Sunday school, Sunday
school superintendent, Ladies' AuXil-
larry society. Wpmen's Missionary So
lccty, Kings Minute Men, and the
treasurer of the Congregational socie-
ty. Owing to the late hour at which
the presentation of the various re-
ports was concluded, the election OF
officers was postponed until next
Thursday evening, to which date an
adjournment was taken. The society
(which was adjourned on "Wednesday
night TO meet with the church organ
, ization last night, was postponed tC
the Same date.
