Divorce in England.

"England is about to indul &c
in the national pastime of
America and inquire into her
divorce laws" writes Sydney
Brooks, in Harper's weekly.
The proposed change in the
law will confer jurisdiction in
divorce cases upon cuunty
courts. The present system
compels petitions to journey 10
London, and even in uncontest-
ed cases there is a minimum
expenditure of some $500.
"There are, roughly speaking
some $4,000 married men and
women in England at this
moment living a life of enforc-
ed celibacy under separation
orders" says the writer. "There
are about $4,000 more who are
tied to partners who have
been certified as insane. Prob
ably one would not be far
wrong in saying that there are
100000 men and women in
England who, if the English
laws were less expensive and
more liberal, would be and
ought to be divorced"

Gas 1t Useto Was"

At the foundation of our gov
eminent in 1889, when General
George Washington was inau-
gurated first President of the
United States, and served eia hit
years, the people were divided
into two great political parties,
called Democratic, or Republic
can, which then meant the same
thing, and the Federal party,
the democrats headed by Thos.
Jefferson, and the federal per-
ty by Alexander Ha milton, beth
men of distinguished patriotism
and ability. Washington beirg
less partisan than either the
other two leaders, but by lis
great generalship in the Revo-
luton which resulted in our In
dependence, he became the idol
|of the American people end
was elected without regard to
party.
In time, the people became
divided into Democratic and
Wing. The Wing party being
largely composed of the old
Federal party, and all such as
opposed democracy, but the
democratic party continued in
power, with the exception of A
years by the elder Adams, and
after him came Jefferson, Mad
ison, Monroe, Jackson, and Van
Buren,, but in 1882, the Wing
party adopted the following dis
tinct platform, viz
"Internal Improvement by the
Federal Government;
distribution of the proceeds
of the public land among the
several States;
"a United States Bank"
These measures were termed
the Henry Clay American poll
cy, Mr.. Clay being one of the
most distinguished ora tors and
statesmen of the age.
These party items were held
as of vital Importance to the
people, and continued their par
ty railing cry up to 1860, or
until the Chicago National Con-
vention when Mr.. Lincoln was
nominated for President, upon
the following platform:
HThe rights of the States, and
especially the right of each
State to manage and control
their own local concerns in their
own way, subject only to the
Constitution of the United
States, is essential to that bal
ance of power upon which our
stability and perpetuity of the
government depends"
This resolution was adopted,
no doubt, in consideration of
the opinions of the people of
the South, but whether honest
ly entertained by the Conven-
ton or not, it was an entire re-
pudiation of the other resolu-
ton under which they had so
long marched,a and they came in

STEAD OF WIFE

Margaret Pegg, SO Denomin-

For Her Wages
Logan, Ia, March 10. The
celebrated case, Pegg against
Pegg, involving the title and
rights to $4,000 or more Of
real estate in the west part of
Harrison county, takes on ad-
ditional interest by the recent
ruling of the supreme court of
Iowa, which, in effect, permits
the deposed widow to bring an
action in the district court to
recover for services during the
period of marriage contract.
In 1885 Margaret Asher and
/ Elias w. Pegg, of Clay town
ship, of Harrison county, enter
ed into the following contract:
Logan, Ia, July III. 1885,
The undersigned make and en-
ter into the following agree
ment and contract: Elias w.
Pegg this day takes Margaret
Asher to be his legal wife and
agrees to live with her as such.
Margaret Asher this day takes
Elias w. Pegg to be her legal
husband and agrees to live
with him as such during life.
Elias w. Pegg,
Margaret Asher.
Witness. C.. Crombie.
After living as husband and
wife twenty-one years, Mr..
Pegg died without a will and
then trouble began over the
ownership of the property &C.
formulated during the time in
which the two had lived as hus-
band and wife.
The courts held the contract
did not constitute marriage
contract, that Margaret Asher
Pegg was none other than a
housekeeper for Elias w. Pegg.
Painfully accepting the deci-
sions of the courts. the widow
will now bring action to re-
cover for twenty-one years SER
vice as a housekeeper to the
amount of $1O,5OO.

The Union Meeting at the
Presbyterian church, participa-
ted in by Rev. MacAllister, of
the Presbyterian church, Rev.
Curtis, of the M. q. church. and
Rev. Hutchinson, of the Chris
tlan church, Sunday evening,
was we'll attended. The sing
ing by the choir was a pleasant
feature of the meeting.
Rev. Curtis opened the NEE
ting with prayer, and then Rev.
Hutchinson proceeded to deliv-
er very able sermon on Church
Union, expressing a hope that
in the near future, all the fol-
lowers of jesuit will be marshall
ed under one banner, acknowl-
edging lend Lord, one faith,
and one baptism" having but
one Church organization, all
meeting together in one body,
in one name. Such a condition
would hasten the day of uni
versal Brotherhood, and the
triumph of the Cross over all
opposition, and the prayer of
the Savior to his Father that
all his disciples may be one even
as He and his Father are one,
would be reality.
Des Moines Register and
Leader: We believe the good
roads and movement from now
on should be a movement to
profit by the experience OF
other states, and to do some.
thing the experience of road
builders the world over will ap.
prove. Iowa should begin with
a reasonable contribution OF
state aid for the roads that are
built to stay. 1t need not be a
large contribution to begin
with, but it should be enough to
justify experiment in perman-
ent roads in every corner of
the state.
The charge of so cents to get
into the automobile exhibit in
Des Moines last week was in
keeping with every other graft
ing scheme that city puts on
and over those who go there.
All there was to the automobile
show was a lot of cars and a
lot of statesmen trying to
sell them. 1t would be lust as
sensible if Atlantic merchants
should charge admission to
shoppers. Atlantic News.
Ida Grove Record-Era: Two
attempts were made to hold a
good roads meeting in Ida
county, and both failed. No
one will contend that it is be-
cause Ida county does not need
good roads. 1t certainly was
not because of lack of publicity.
Can it be, as the Record Era
said a couple of weeks ago, that
it was because the people real
ly do not want good roads half
as bad as they say they co!
Must be!

Honesty Should
Limit Friendship

From the New York Tribunel
Men seem to hold that what
ever a friend does is necesssar-
lily right and that it is dishonor-
able beyond excuse for one
friend to give evidence against
another. The same principle
is operative in various frater-
nal or mutual benefit organiza-
tions, such as that extraordin-
AIRY policemen's organization in
New Jersey which maintains
that one policeman ought to be
ready to perjure himself to
help another out of a scrape.
There is reason for thinking
that a large share Of encourage
ment to evil deeds and of the
immunity which their perpe-
traitors enjoy may be attribut-
ed to this cause. Much is to
be sacrificed to friendship but
justice is not one of the things.
It is not the Office of a friend
to compound a felony.

Winter Wheat
Badly Damaged

Modale, Ia, March 2l.-It is
admitted on good authority
that the winter wheat crop in
this vicinity is badly damaged
as a result of freezing. Two
men who had over 100 acres
each claim their crop is all de-
stroyed. Many others claim it
is damaged. but believe a warm
rain would bring it out and yet
make a fair crop. The late
sowing on lew ground seems to
have been damaged the worst.
Spring wheat sowing was be-
gun last week, and will be
about completed this week if
fair weather continues.

the government the Constitu-

TALKS TO GROCERS.
III. @. Newcomb Tells Them How
Olives Are Grown

The grocers met in a social way at
the Commercial club quarters last
night for the first time in the history
of the club. The wives and many
daughters Of the men were there, too,
and the affair proved a treat to those
present, as the hard worked grocery
men can seldom attend the club din
ner events en- account of their finding
difficulty in getting away from their
stores at the proper time
One of the grocerymen made the re-
mark that if you can get men together
in a social way YOU can also get them
together for business This first gath
ering proved a marked success a
thoroughly good time was had and the
grocers had the opportunity to meet
one another on a new plane.
While an oyster supper was being
enjoyed Steinberg's orchestra furnish
adjourned to a vacant room on the
first floor Of the Commerce building,
where H c. Newcomb Of Philade1-
phia gave an intensely interesting adj
dress on Lands of Olive" which was
illustrated with $50 lantern slides
taken from photographs which the
speaker took while traversing the
olive fields Of France, Spain and Italy.
Mr. Newcomb since the Spanish
American war has been the representa-
vania, and has made as many as q
dozen trips TO the land of the olive.
The assembled guests started out
from Topeka on their interesting tour,
the journey being made extremely at
tractive, as aside from the pictures
which showed the olive trees and the
process of curing the crop, there were
slides thrown in here and there de-
pictiug the scenes along the way.
According to Mr.. Newcomb in
Spain the olives are grown especially
for eating purposes 1t is large ones
that are desired The trees are plant
ed far apart and well cared for. As
the small olives are not so porous they
are better when the object in view is
to obtain the oil, and especially in
italy and France is this class of olive
found. In some cases trees four and
five hundred years old are now bear
ing fruit in abundance, new stock hav-
ing for the most part been grated
onto the old and gnarled stumps.
The girls who pick the olives in the
field and those who assert them in
the factory are paid Is cents q. day for
their trouble man with a family Is
paid so much. for the use of that
family.
The olive oil is obtained through
crushing the fruit Eighty per cent is
water, 10 per cent oil and 10 per cent
pieces of the stone and the pulp
Mr.. Newcomb said that the pure
food laws are effective in preventing
adulterated goods being shipped to
this country as pure olive OIL Tons
of peanuts are shipped from points
along the east coast of Africa to
France and made into socal1ed olive
oil, and in times gone by this was
shipped to the United States as the

Reported Damage to San Pedro Road
Was Exaggerated.

Reno. New jan 1s-J. Ross
Clarke, vice president of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railroad. has arrived in Reno on
business.
AS the recent food disaster which
overlook his road has been given
considerable prominence in the press,
Mr.. Clark was asked to give correct
data regarding the washout and said {:
THE report that we were damaged
to the extent of s14, 100000 by the
food waters Is overdrawn. We suf-
fered heavily, but not nearly to that
extent Repairs, construction and bet
terments together with loss of pa
tronage sustained during the period
Of the break, may, however, run the
total UP to something like that sum-
THE story that we lost "a miles of
track is also exaggerated. although a
good portion of the track Is gone for
a distance of sixty miles In places it
is intact and can be replaced
1T is hard to say when traffic will
be resumed as the weather is too bad
at present to attempt reconstruction.
We have had one report on the dam
age and expect to send out two more
