Edward Lear, the desired bridegroom,

MERCHANTS OF NEBRASKA
SOON COMING TO OMAHA
January 10 Opening Day for
Refund of Railroad Fare on
of Merchandise.

Omaha jobbers are preparing for the
coming Of the merchants of the state. Be
ginning January IS, these merchants may
visit Omaha without expense for railroad
fare. The Omaha Jobbers' and Manufac-
turers' association has arranged to refund
all railroad fares when 2 per cent OF the
goods bought in Omaha equals the railroad
fare.
This plan was inaugurated in 1909 and
has proven highly satisfactory to both
jobber and buyer, so much 50 that other
cities are adopting the plan. These rates
take the place Of merchants meetings. for
which the railroads granted certain rates
which were good only on certain days. The
present plan will continue in operation
for three months. and is devised to suit
the convenience of the retailers rather than
the railroads.
The only condition imposed by the plan is
that the retailers tax a receipt for their
fare and present the receipt at the office
of the association in the Chamber of Com
MERGE building, By the plan a merchant
must buy 81 worth OK goods for each mile
he travels In going and coming in order to
get his fare back. It is not necessary,
however, to buy the goods from any one
house in order to secure the refund. So
long as the aggregate purchases from as
ISOLATION members equal the amount the
refund will be made.
Omaha jobbers and manufacturer are in
splendid condition to show and deliver
spring goods. That retailers appreciate
the Omaha market is shown by the in
crease Of $22, 100000 which was made last
year.

Unable to Work, So Mrs. Cora Me-
Grath, sOlth Omaha, Thrice
Vainly Tries to Get License
for Her and Ed Lear.

A girl stood before the bar of juvenile
court. A slight figure shook with sobs;
tears streamed down her cheeks. Her age
was "A, but she seemed not that old. There
was evident lack of proper nutrition and
physical development had not been speedy.
Some ailment had set its mark upon her
complexion.
The child was in court because of the re-
peated attempts OF her mother to marry
her to a youth named Edward Lear. A
matchmaking instinct has pursued q
strange course in the case of Mrs. Cora
McGrath OF South Omaha as directed to-
ward the little girl whose given name is
Mary.
Three times has the mother tried TO Sc
cure a marriage license. First in Omaha,
a second time at Council Bluffs, and again
at Papillion, the authorities have refused
to grant the desired permit.

case and brought Mrs. McGrath, Mary Nc

But He Does Not Seek the Distinc.

Him So Often.

An acquaintance accosted Edward
Creighton in court room No. l in district
court, where a new jury, panel was being
convened. ~
How do you like to be drawn on a
jury?" Mr.. Creighton was asked.
They seem to be getting a habit of
drawing me- said the young man.
Mr.. Creighton was two years ago on a
regular three weeks venire, which John o.
Yelser succeeded in having quashed as
improperly drawn. A special venire was
then ordered and Sheriff Bradley nabbed
every man of the regular venire. The
special venire, of course, had to serve not
only the three weeks, but all the rest of
the term.
Mr., Creighton bids fair to live up to all
ideals of citizenship so far as jury service
Is concerned.

BEATS CLAIM FOR
WIFE'S LUXURIES
DIR. Pedar S. Bruguiere Defeats
Suit Instituted by Art
Dealers

Husbands are not responsible for
debts contracted by their wives, ex-
cept for necessaries. This was the
decision rendered by Judge Mogan yes
terday in favor of DR.. Pedar s. Bru-
guiere, brother of Emil Bruguiere, in
the suit brought by S. & C. Gump COM
pany to recover s207 for art goods and
bric-a-brac purchased by Mrs. Maryon
Bruguiere.
Pew rents are among the expenses
of a wife that married man may not
be compelled to pay, Judge Mogan
stated in his decision. 1t was not con-
tended that Mrs. Bruguiere, who has
since remarked and is now the wife of
a New York stock broker named Den
ing, contracted debts for church pews,
but the court held that art goods are
equally unnecessary The code defines
necessaries of life as food, clothing a
house to live in and medical attend
ance.
Mrs. Maryon Bruguiere bought the
articles for which the art dealers sued
her former husband. in 1905 after they
had separated. Later Bruguiere OBJ
tained Reno divorce on the ground
of deseTtion and he produced the de-
cree as his defense to the art dealers
account.
The attorneys for Gumps insisted
that Bruguiere deserted his WIFE, not
withstanding the statement in the di-
vorce decree and threatening to bring
Mrs. Dening to San Francisco to tes-
tify to this effect. Mrs. Dening was
travelling In Europe anJ several con-
tinuances were granted to permit of
her attendance, but the plaintiffs could
never succeed in bringing her into
court.
