ALMOST HYSTERICAL
Transfer of Little One Takes Place in

Under Eye of Judge.

The finale in the Coyne-McAfee con-
troveTsy over the possession of 2-year-

when by order of Judge w. H. Gest
Mrs. McAfee brought the child into
the circuit court before the Judge and
turned her over to her father. into
whose custody she was placed after
the hearing of the case Wednesday.
Mrs. McAfee sobhed bitterly at hav-
ing to part with the little one, which
two years. while the father showed
signs of considerable JOY at getting
possession of his daughter once more.
The object of all the sorrow and glad
ness paid very little attention to any
one and made no objection to being
turned over to her parent. After the
transfer of the child the foster mother
was led away by her husband and
friends, who feared that she would go
into Mysteries.
Circuit Court AdjOurns.
After arranging the time for trying
several cases which were to have come
up this term, but which had to be
postponed for different reasons, Judge
Gest decided to adjourn court until

will be convened by Judge E. c.
Graves, who will decide motions and
questions which he has had under adj
visement. Among these is a motion

MANY MISMATINCS.
Unusual Number of Divorce
Actions for Hearing at May
Term of Circuit Court.
Ia ARE FILED DURING WEEK
Two Wives AIlege Drunkenness and
One Husband Charges Discovery
of UnfaithfuIness of Spouse.

An unusual number of divorce cases
in the circuit court. There have been
very few terms of court which have
faced as large a number as will con-
front the Judge during the May term.
Scarcely a day has passed this week
without at least two bills being filed
and for a week or two before that
they were coming in on an average
of one a day. Yesterday three were
filed. In one of them Mrs. Emma
Daebelliehn of this city sues her hus-
band for divorce on the grounds that
he has become a kabitual drunkard
and that he is cruel to her. The
couple were united in marriage May
"a, 1898, in this city and they lived
together until April l of this month,
at which time the plaintiff decided to
leave. In her bill, which was filed by
Attorneys p. r. Ingelson and H NJ.
McCaskrin, she asks for the custody
of the three children and also for ali
mony of $50 per month.
In order to assure this alimony she
requests the court to grant an injunc-
ton restraining her husband from dis
posing of the land and personal prop
erty which he now possesses and
which she claims he has threatened TO
get rid of in order to escape payment
of alimony.
Wants $40 Per Month.
Mrs. Mary Breecher entered suit for
divorce from her husband, Albert
Breecher, on the grounds that he has
become a habitual drunkard and that
he mistreats her. She states in the
petition that she was married to her
husband Oct. 80, 1882, and that they
lived together until yesterday. She
asks in her bill that she be given the
custody of her three children and be
allowed $40 per month from her hus-
band for the support of herself and
the children. H. NJ. McCaskrin repre-
sents her.
Martin V. Osborn of East Moline,
through his attorney, Walter C. Baker,
has filed suit for divorce from his wife,
Celia Osborn. He charges that it was
not long after their marriage in 1887
that his spouse began TO develop a
tendency to remain out late at night, /
and it was not many years. he said, |
before she remained out all night with
other men.
Another Case Filed.
Late this afternoon another applica- |
ton for divorce was filed by Attorney |
H. NJ. McCaskrin who represents Mrs. |
Stella Gingles. The defendant is Fal- |
lis Gingles. The couple were united |
in marriage in Davenport April 7, 1904, |
and they lived together until Feb. Is
last, at which time the wife states she |
was compelled to leave on account of /
the i'll treatment by her husband. She /
says he beat, struck, kicked and mis-
treated her generally until she could
stand it no longer. The plaintiff asks
that the two children which were born
of the marriage be placed either in her
custody or kept in the custody of their
Monroe Gingles, where
they are now.

A TRUE SNAKE STORY
After Chickens Snakeship Has Head
Cut Off

Get the hook" the proverbial
phase, more expressive than elegant,
found a substitute at PASSPORT one
day this week in "get the axe.
One morning this week Mrs. Joe
Thomas, of Fourth street, Eastport,
heard a noise in her hennery. Chick
ems were having a high old time, and
after the noise had kept up for some
time, Mrs. Thomas went to investi-
gate. She found long, black snake,
the cause of the disturbance.
The axe not being far away, Mrs.
Thomas ran for it and with the
strength of her right arm, or both
arms, she came down with the wood
chopper in one fell swoop, cutting
off the snakes head. This was not
the end of the story, for the decapi-
tati0h revealed fourteen young snakes
which she also killed.
Another Eastport snake story is
to the effect that in the lot back of
Mr.. Cook s, Iof Chesapeake avenue, a
snake was killed few days ago, and
the killing of that snake revealed Il
young snakes.

MONEY IN HENS,

United States Consul Frank Deed

Canada, reports that in 1901, the last
year for which census statistics are
available, says the Rochester Demo.
crat and Chronicle, Canada had near.
ly 1S,000000 head of poultry and that
in 1900 her production of eggs was
over 100000 dozen, valued at more
than S1O.275.000. That was ten years
ago and If the figures could be com.
piled now they would be much larger.
Year by year Canada has fewer
and fewer eggs to spare. In 1904 she
exported 5.7s0,316 dozen, mostly to
Great Britain, and in 1909 only 55S.132
dozen, a decrease Of 5,222,1S4 dozen.
In 1904 Canada imported S72,249 dozen
eggs and In 1903 i.l46,0 41 dozen, which
shows that It's home product falls short
OF supplying its home demands. The
Canadian imports of eggs from the
United States during the same fiscal
years we're as follows: In 1904. $780,
III dozen; in 1909, 1,102,254 dozen,
showing that nearly all its foreign egg
supply Is draws from the United
States.
Prince Edward island is a great pro-
ducer of eggs, the yield in 1909 being
estimated at 4,000.aGO dozen, of which
100000 dozen were or will be shipped
to Quebec and the other maritime proy.
inces. TO England and to the United
States. The prices of eggs have ad.
yanced in this province during the last
ten years from cents dozen in 1900
to 20 cents dozen in 1903. These
figures taken in connection with the
hieh prices prevailing in the United
states, SHOW that North America
comes far short of producing as many
eggs as It's people could consume. Yet

trouble being that there ought TO he a
