AFFECTIONS
OF Her Husband AllGnatGd BY
A Man
And Wife Wants Damages In
Sum Of $4,000
! ife Also Sues Her Husband
For AlimOny
Two Suits Filed In Court Of
Common Pleas
Other Notes Of Interest From
Temple Of Justice

Lavina Stats has commenced two
suits in the court of common pleas of
Knox county-one against w. A..
Stats for alleged alienation of her
husbands Elections, in which she asks
for damages in the sum of $4,000. The
second suit is against her husband, FL
mer j. Staats in which she asks for al
imony in reasonable amount.
In the suit for the alleged aliena-
tion of her husbands affections the
plaintiff states that on March l, 1910,
w. A. Stats enticed the husband
away from the plaintiff and. harbored
him at his home in Pike township and
kept him separated from the plain
tiff The plaintiff further states that
the defendant, W. A. Staats, with
divorce proceeding to be brought
and offered and stated he would pay
all expenses thereof. The plaintiff
therefore claims she has been damag-
ed in the sum of $4,000 for which
amount she asks Judgment.
In the suit for alimony against FL
mer j. Staats, the plaintiff states they
we're married December 20, 1908, and
that no children were born to them.
She alleges that the defendant has
personal property to the amount Of
$3.50 and half interest in 200-acre
farm. The charge is made that the
defendant has abandoned her and re-
fuses to provide her with the neces-
stiles of life. The plaintiff asks for
alimony during the pendeny of this
case and upon final hearing asks for
reasonable alimony. Owen & Carr Of
Mt. Vernon and L. B. Reid of Howard
are the attorneys for the plaintiff in
both actions.

GIRL FATHERS HERE AND
 THERE.
Miss America Has Way of Her Own-Different From Her
 Foreign Sisters.

Every American woman knows that the American woman disports herself on the beach for one of two purposes either to display her prowess as a water nymph. in which case she wears the simplest and most natural of suits, or to display her figure. in which case she scarcely permits the water to rise above her ankles and the suit is designed by the same genius who creates her ball costumes. The water nynph rises superior to fads in bathing suits. The sand nymph is slave to her modiste. winter and summer.
 Beach manners are also different in different countries. For instance, the French girl will don d skintight suit and her maid will follow her to the surfs edge. there to remove the sheet that envelops her. Male life savers guard her bath. After that bath, ornately gowned she will sit demurely by the side of her mamma and peer at pedestrians from under her silken parasol She is never seen walking with a boy or young man. The life saver she regards as d ser vant,S an automaton.

The coarse feed of the salt meadows and continual exposure to the ele- ments would readily have caused the stunted growth of the early stock. which feature was so marked among the horses elsewher in the colony that in 1886 careful devised laws were en- acted to improve the breed.
 So numerous had the wild horses grown to be at the close of the century that one of the principal sports of the young men Of the colony was to hunt them, not infrequently with the assist ance of dogs. Saddle horses were trained for the purpose of threading the heavy timber of the forests at high rate of speed.
 Sometimes planters would unite in the confinement of their horses to a neck of land, where they were permitted to roam at liberty. only they were periodically driven into a pen and the special mark of each owner branded upon the fOals born to his mares in the interval. In order to prevent any sec ret encrOachments upon the rights of each other it was generally required that notice of an intention to drive the herd should be given by the per son interested ct the parish church two weeks previous to its actual undertak ing

THE INITIATIVE AND REFEREN
 DUM.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: With your kind permission l will state through the columns of your
 paper my views concerning the con stitution for the new state of Ari- zona. In the issue of your paper, dated
 July 18th. 1910. there appeared an
 editorial on the subject Initiative
 and referendum" l do not fully
 agree with the writer: however,
 believe the difference between us lies
 in the extent to which the initiative
 and referendum should be adopted in
 the government of our new state. We are all in favor of this principle of
 government to more or less degree. and no one who is thoughtful in his views can favor it in all things and without restriction. We have the
 initiative and referendum in d limited sense at present in both our city and territorial government. The city of Phoenix cannot bond itself to estab- fish and maintain a sewer system without resort to the initiative and referendum, and any school district in the county, and for that matter in the territory of Arizona, wishing to erect a school building or make any change with reference to the school building must use this principle of government. We most heartily ap- prove it's use in all matters in which it is now used and I believe there are other subjects to which it's use can be applied with equally satis
 factory results. However, do not favor its use to the extent that it becomes burdensome and impractical ble.
 In writing our constitution we have the greatest opportunity of exhibit ing our splendid citizenship of which we so proudly boast. Nothing can hurt us more than to adopt weak and meaningless constitution. This document should set forth principles of good and honest government. But little time should be spent in worry ing about how it will appear to the president and congress, because if it contains the honest expression of a majority of our people it is just as it should be. and I believe both the president and congress will congrat- ulate us and willingly approve the same In order for us to obtain constitution that does express the honest sentiments of a majority of our citizens it will be necessary to send as delegates to the constitutional our best and most able | These men should have | lived among us several years and be | conversant with our

The number of these hardly little an imals is annually decreasing. for pony pennings are held every year during | the early part of August. when the herds are driven together by the is- lands and the foals branded by their owners. Young. sound stock is then selected for sale, while the older ani-
 mals and weddings. there being sur prisingly few of the latter, are liber- ated and find precarious living in
 the salt marshes and thickets of the
 island for another year.
 The ponies are very irregular in size,
 for they are often foued as tall as the
 bronco and the mustang of the west. and again as small as the Shetland
 pony. They are as a rule weedy and inclined to be leggy. with rought. un- even. sunburned coats. Light bays and sorrels predominate. A fair number of brown bays will be found. while black. white and un-colored ponies are ex- ceedingly rare.
 Nature has equipped them with heavy names and tails as a protection against the swarms of mosquitoes and swamp flies which infest-the coast is lands. IL is interesting to see a herd of ponies lined up in marsh or thicket, standing with heads and tails alter hating and each pony switches flies from his two neighbors. At almost regular periods the end ponies will be seen to leave their exposed positions and wedge into the line.
 The smaller ponies are very popular with the children of the eastern shore. and the larger ones make excellent work animals on the trucking farms of the Virginia peninsula. They are ex- tremely tough and strong. require very little grain and comparatively little water. one seldom finds a Chinco- togue pony with spavin, curbs. splints or similar defects so common among ordinary horses, and they have been known to draw an ordinSry country buggy eighty miles in a day over the sandy roads of Accomac without shoes on their feet
 Much uncertainty exists as to their origin In 1649 there were but 300 horses in the colony of Virginia. but by 1869 so many had been imported and the natural increase had been so great that they had become a burden by req son of their depradations. in conse- quence of which further importation was prohibited. In 1862 a tax had been laid upon horses and the owners were required by law to confine their stock between July 20 and October 20.
 The writer is inclined to think that some of the planters of the peninsula in order to escape the expenses of fenc .,fF ha ha aif Ia nA1 their herds to Chinco- teague and Assateague islands about this time and that this was the origin of the wild horses of Chincoteague and the present day ponies.

 I am not d candidate for delegate to this convention because I do not feel that l am qualified to perform so great a service in satisfactory manner. l love Arizona and, though one of the humblest of her citizens. am anxious to see her constitution, masterly document of its kind. pointed to with pride by not only our own people but by the people of the whole United States-let us not neglect this opportunity to add an other jewel to the already glorious history of our beloved state.

THE WILD PONIES
 OF \ VIRGINIA ISLAND
The chincotsaaus, Found on the Island
 of That Name.

Few People realize as they pass up and down the Atlantic seaboard that almost within sight of their steamer is an island off the coast of Virginia upon which wild ponies roam at large. Chincoteague island is a queer little place. and its people reck not of this world, says a writer in Bit and Spur. Land locked by the Assateague island, long. sandy beach which extends northward beyond the Maryland boundary, Chincoteague is as thor oughly cut off from the turbulet sea as it is from the rush and turmoil of mod ern civilization.
 The island is about eight miles long and has a population of several hun dred souls. Portions of its narrow ex- tent are wooded, but the island is largely made up of marshy glades in which the herds of ponies graZe. seek ing shelter from the bleak winds of winter among the dunes and brakes of the island

IOWA MULCT LAW

JUDGE Mcpherson Hac Decided the
Liquor Injunction Suits From
MarshaIItown.

DEs MONIES, Aug. 26. Federal
Judge Smith Mcpherson decided the
liquor Injunction suits taken into his
court by Ben Salinger on behalf of
liquor dealers at Marshalltown,B Boone,
Carroll and elsewhere. The state
court is fully upheld. The cases were
brought to find out whether the Iowa
law is constitutional Temporary re-
straining orders We're secured against
a number of Iowa county and state
officials to prevent them from en-
forcing the mulct law. Mcpherson
dissolved these orders and refuses to
continue therA. even pending an ap-
peal to the higher court, thus virtually
throwing the cases entirely out OF
court. Judge Mcpherson, in his de-
cision, also sharply criticises the Iowa
supreme court for long line of de-
cisions, holding that under the mulct
law there may be practically lega'
sales Of liquor.

Estrada Finds That He Cannot Enter
the Capital and Take Charge Of
Country as
President.
OWN SOLDIERS OPPOSE
Peace ENJOYS Sent scurryins by
volley Of Bullets and me
Country is Yet In
Turmoil.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Aug. 26-Gen.
Juan j. Estrada, who headed the sue
cessful Nicaraguan revolution, is be-
ing forcibly kept out of Managua by
his own people and he may never
assume the presidency of the country
as decreed by his brother, Jose
Dolores Estrada, who took the office
when President Madriz resigned.
The cable advices received in New
Orleans was not clear, as some of
the code words were misspelled, while
others were of such a character that
they could not be made out. An effort
was made to have the entire message
repeated from Managua, but up to
late hour 1t was impossible.
1t was from the cable that it was
learned that Gen. Estrada had been
blocked in entering the capital by
Gen. Emilliano Chamorro and Gen.
Luis Mena, who have gotten betweeen
him and Managua with the rebel
army. In view of the meager cable
advices those receiving them were
slow to decide the full meaning. but
they say that it is made almost clear
4 that Juan J. Estrada is being held
back by his own generals.
i 1t is believed in New Orleans that
President Jose Dolores Estrada knew
3 Chamorro and Mena would stop his
II krDthss from taking tine presidency
and IN order to overcome this appoint
ed peace commission to escort Gen,
Estrada from Chontales to Managua.
This commission left to carry out its
duty. but at Grenada Wednesday was
driven back by volley of bullets,an
the reports say the peace enyoys were
mistaken for another party, but In
view Of the Chamorro-Mena combina
!, tion 1t looks like an attempt to still
. keep Estrada outside Managua.

KIDNAPPED AT DEPOT
Press Club setaIs the Colonel! and
Carries Him off to Club Rooms
Where Bully Time Was
Had.

CHICAGO; August 26.-Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt has met the Teddy"
Roosevelt of caricarure and the men
who created the latter and stamped
both with his approval.
AS the guest of the Chicago News
paper Club, Col Roosevelt last eve
ming looked at himself as pictured in
the cartoons that appear daily in the
Chicago newspaper and told the men
who made them, as we'll as the men
who daily praise or criticise him, that
all was bully
At the depot he was kidnapped by
a reception committee from the News
paper Club, hurried into a machine,
taken for a spin through the down
town district and over to the News
paper Club.
And it was there that he was
brought face to face with the eorig-
inap' of the cartoons that heretofore
/ he had seen only in tae newspapers
The true Rooseveltian smile broke
1over the face the instant he viewed
the interior Of the club. Then, as
| if to enter into the spirit of the oc-
casion, Col. Roosevelt facetiously told
the assembled newspaper men of the
prophecies that had preceded his
4 visit to Africa. Moreover he smil-
3lingly asserted that he had returned
in spite Of these gloomy predictions
lfostered, he intimated, by the hope
more than the judgment OF the meI
who made them
The first picture he saw was great
photograph of President Taft. in
which the famous Taft smile was the
most conspicuous feature. 1t was
an autographed picture taken wher
President Taft was a guest of the
club some months ago.
That's great picture bully" ex
claimed Col. Roosevelt, exhibiting ;
smile just as broad as the one in thu
picture. Its the best I've ever seel
of the president"
He did not attempt a speech, bu
: devoted himself to a running fire 0
