Leaves Of Absence
Viii Be Granted
The Many Rulings Of the Department
Of the Interior Keeps Home
steaders on Jump

StSduSIS Ou JUMP
A homesteader does not know
whether he has a claim or not, it
there is coal on it, and then when
there is no crop he wonders again,
He cannot make a living during
the winter and cannot leave, some
say. and his mind is ina state of
upheaval all the time.
The government has made an
other new ruling, it does not ex-
pect the impossible of the home
steader. As will be seen
by the new law quoted below
nearly if not quite all the home
steaders of the state may obtain
leave of absence for the coming
winter under that clause of the
law which permits of the granting
of leave of absence for ''total or
partial destruction or failure Of
crops, ETC."
Following are the rules under
which leave of absence may be ob-
tanned:
/. Application for leave of alb
sence may be sworn to before the
register or receiver or before any
officer using a seal and authorized
to administer oaths.
2. The law authorizes registers
and receivers to grant leaves ofab-
sence for period not exceeding
one year at any one time, subject
to the approval of the commission
er of the general landoffice, when
ever it shall be made to appear that
the settler sis unable, by reason of
a total or partial destruction or
failure of crops, Sickness, or other
unavoidable casualty. to secure a
support for himself, herself, or
those dependent upon him or her,
Mlpon the lands settled upon X y ~ /"
3. In each case full particulars
should be given in the application,
which should state the failure or
destruction Of crops, if the crops
have failed or been destroyed, to
what extent, and the cause there
of. In case of sickness, what di-
sease or injury and to what extent
claimant is prevented thereby from
continuing on the land, and certi-
foate from the physician in atten-
dance setting forth the facts should
also be furnished. In the case of
'sother unavoidable casualty the
character, cause, and extent there
of and its effect upon the land or
the claimant should be stated.
4. Residence must be establish
ed upon the land within six
months after day of entry, and ad-
ditional time cannot he granted
within which to establish such re-
sidence. nor will the leave of alb
sence be granted unless bona 6de
residence shall have been esta.
bllshed upon the land.
5. The time of actual residence
under such leave cannot be con-
sidered as constructive residence
or be deducted from the period of
actual residence required by law.

DRESS DETAILS IMPORTANT
Attention to Little Things VIII Raise
the Hat or Gown Above
Mediocrity.

In dress, as in other things, the I'M
portance of the attention to little
things is essential If this be done,
the big effect will take care OF itself.
A gown, hat or wrap can be raised
from a plane of mediocrity to that OF
distinction by the introduction OF lit
tie details of ornamentation that are
decidedly successful in the attainment
of that end, yet are within the reach
of most fingers.
A hat that In itself Is the duplicate
of hundreds Of others can be treated
to a peculiar binding or an unusual
adjustment of ornaments. The bind
ing, by the way, offers wide field for
differentiation from the usual fiat vel
vet facing. Fringe in silken or linen
form is distinctive, if used as an edg-
ing for the turned-down rim SILK or
velvet can be pulled or shirred over
the edge, while rose quilting Is the
newest trimming for that part of the
hat
Then, again, color In the form OF
beads. silk or velvet can be used with
a discreet eye for unusual combina-
ton of tones. In other words, the
unusual but approved alliances OF
shades make for the distinctive. A
detail perhaps that many women over
look is the question of hatpins. Just

Bradley Firms in Court.

Wausau.-Judge A. H. Reid, in
Circuit court here, heard arguments
on demurrers in actions against eight
companies, known as the Bradley
companies"
The petitioner in each, case is Mary
H. Kelley, a leading stakeholder in
each company. She alleges that she
was denied the right to audit the
books of the companies and petitions
for an order to compel the manage
ment to permit her TO do so.
The companies are the United
States Lumber company, the Electric,
Water and Telephone company, the
Tomahawk Land company, the Brad
ley Land company, the Bradley q
Collins Land company, the Wisconsin
Land and Power company, the Mer-
rill Lumber company and the Brad

PRESENT STATUE TO FRANCE
BRONZE IMAGE OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON DEDICATED.
Virelnla's Gift to French Republic Is
Placed in Napoleon Hall at
Versailles.

Versailles, France. - With ap-
propriate ceremonies the bronze re-
plica of Houdon's celebrated statue
of George Washington was dedicated
in Napoleon hall of the Chateau of
Versailles in the presence of the
French minister of war, General Brun;
the French ambassador to the
United States, NJ. Jusserand, and his
wife, and the American ambassador.
Robert Bacon. and Mrs. Bacon; the
marquis de Lafayette, the members of
the French mission which presented
to America the statue of Rochambeau,
now at Washington, and former United
States Senator Nathan b. Scott Of
West Virginia.
Generai Siron, who presided, spoke
OF the statue as the greatest work Of
the greatest French sculptor Of the
eighteenth century. Col. James Mann.
chairman of the Virginia commission,
delivered the speech of presentation.
State Senators Don p. Halsey and F.
w. King of Virginia also made ad-
dresses on behalf of the state Of Vir-
ginia
Ambassador Jusserand, in the abb
sence of the French minister for for
etgn affairs, NJ Pichon, accepted the
statue on behalf of the French govern
ment. He declared that the friendship
of General Washington and of the
American people constituted one of
the glories of France. 1t was, there
fore, singularly appropriate that this
statue. the third erected on French
soil by our ancient allies, should be
placed in the palace consecrated to
all our glories."

Helps for the H.usekeener

Green blinds that have become
faded may be renewed by rubbing
them with a rag saturated with lin
seed oil
To attain a good glaze on linen IT Isl
necessary for 1t to be damp, for the.
iron to be hot and for great pressure
to be used.
To clean carved ivory make paste
of sawdust damped with water and a
few drops of lemon juice; lay il,
thickly on the carving. Let this dry
thoroughly, and then brush II off with
a dry cloth.
When washing glassware do not put
it In hot water bottom first. as IL
will be liable to crack from sudden.
expansion. Even delicate glass can
be safely washed in very hot water
if slipped in edgewise.

refused to listen to his pleadings,
shot her through the heart, sending a
third bullet into his own body.

NEAT, PRETTY HOUSE DRESS
one-Plece Gowns Are in Great Demand
and Never Before Were So At
tractve.

Manufacturers have never before
paid so much attention to house dresses
as they have this year. The demand
for the one-piece dresses for wear In
the house and on the veranda is great
err than ever before. The present
styles for houses dresses are so neat
and trim that the garments are suit
able for street wear. For years many
women have protested against wrap
pers and kimonos as work dresses, and
yet women who bought work dresses
ready made usually accepted these
styles because few stores carried any,
thing else. But now manufacturers
are giving more heed to the work
gown, and women who want to appear
neat and trim while at homework may
find many ready made dresses which
will answer their needs. The prettiest
designs are those which have the
Dutch neck, three-quarters sleeves and
buttons at the side. Many garments
button in the front and a few at the
back, although the latter are not in
! great favor as work dresses. One of
the neatest dresses is made of blue
| linen with bias bands of red and
white plaid around the neck and on
the short sleeves. Some new house
gowns have plain shirt waist sleeves
with short cuffs fastened with fancy
pearl buttons. The rundown collars
and Peter Pan collars are used good
deal. There is little variation in the
skirt No matter how the waist may
vary, the skirts are usually the circu.
lar gored effect and should be short
enough to permit the wearer to go up
stairs without having to lift her dress.
Percales, ginghams and lawns are fa-
vorite materials.

CUDAHY DIVORCED
WOMAN GETS DECREE AGAINST
PACKERS SON IN TEN
MINUTES.
ALIMONY is ONE DOLLAR
Jere Lills Affair Is Not Mentioned
Children to Be In the Care of
Grandparents.

Kansas City.-As a sequel to John
P. Cudahy's attack on Jerry Lillis in
the Cudahy residence shortly after
midnight of March 5, Mrs. Cudahy
obtained a divorce from her hus-
band, son of the millionaire packer.
The decree was granted by Judge
James H. Slower on the grounds of
incompatibility of temper, ten min
utes after Mrs. Cudahy had filed her
petition. Mrs. Cudahy and her maid,
Elizabeth Johnson, were the only
witnesses. No mention was made of
the Lil-iS affair.
Cudahy was not in court. He is
said to have been here, but heacould
not be located. Attorneys represent
ed him at the hearing, but they made
no protest against the decree.
Mrs. Cudahy was given alimony
amounting to 81.
1t is understood that Gen. John c..
Gown of Omaha, father of Mrs. Cud-
ahy, and Michael Cudahy, the defend
ants father, brought about an AMIGA
Die settlement outside of court.
Attorneys for both sides refused to
discuss the report that a secret set
Element had been effected. A friend
of Mrs. Cudahy, however, said
Michael Cudahy had agreed to pay
his sons wife $1,000 during the first
year following her divorce and 49,
600 during each ensuing year of her
life as long as she remains single.
Custody of the four Cudahy chill
dren was given Michael Cudahy and
his wife, Catherine, during their life
times. Upon their death Mary Cuda-
by, an aunt of the children, will have
charge of them, and when she dies
Clara Cudahy, another aunt, will be-
come their guardian. Mrs. Cudahy
was given the right to visit the chill
dren "at all reasonable times and
places and for such periods as may be
reasonable and proper.
ITO protect the children" was the
reason given by attorneys that no
charge other than 'incompatibility
was made in the bill.
Immediately after the decree had
been granted, Mrs Cudahy left for
Chicago with her children. She will
take the children to the home of
their grandparents. 1t is understood
she will return here to make her
home
