tiOnS Are Made
Affidavit In LuUaCy Filed
Against Sarah Steers
Other Items Of Interest From
Temple Of Justice

A suit for divorce has been filed in
county by AIDA B. Hampshire against
William d. Hampshire, one of the
most prominent citizens of Morgan
township. Some sensational charges
are made in the petition. The plain
tiff states they were married August
1, 1889, in Knox county and that four
children were born to them, the old
est being 19 years and the youngest
8 years. The plaintiff states that on
June 80, 1909, the defendant struck
the plaintiff with his fist and drove
the plaintiff from home and ordered
her to stay away. On the same date
the allegation is made that the de-
fendant struck and injured his daugh-
ter, Genevieve Hampshire. The ale
cation is made that the defendant has
been guilty of extreme cruelty on
numerous occasions, that the defend
ant has driven his oldest son from
home. The plaintiff states that by rea-
son of said aggressions on the part
of the defendant she has been COM
PEELED to separate from the defendant
and that her daughter, Genevieve, has
also left the home of. her father for
her own safety and protection. The
plaintiff asks for divorce and alimony
and the custody of the minor children
and that the defendant be restrained
from disposing of or incumbering his
property. A temporary injunction has
been granted by Judge Seward of
Newark. The attorney for the plain
tiff is Edward Kibler of Newark.

people of the northwest" The plan of this
cathedral follows "the main lines of the origi-
nal plan OF st. Peters in Rome as laid out by
Bramante and Michel Angelo;" that is, the
nave and transepts are shorter than usual and
their intersection will be crowned with a great
dome So feet in diameter, the cross over which
will stand $50 feet high from the floor. ''The
main entrance is under a monumental arch
which frames the rose window and the three
front entrances leading to the vestibule located
under the organ gallery. At each end of the
Vestlbule under the towers are two chapels,
one to be the founders chapel, the other to
contain the baptismal font" while at the ends
OF the transepts will be the two great chapels
of st. Peter and st. Paul.

The second is that of New Orleans, which,
