WILL ViaE a CROSS islfE..

Mrs. Laura Farrsworth Schenk,
re.ponieut in The proceedings for di-
vnrcc Instituted in the Circuit Court at
Wheeling. W. Va, by her husband,
John 0. Schenk, millionaire packer,
has practically completed her arrange
ments for filing cross bill Immediately
after her husband had instituted his
suit. In it her attorneys, O'Brien and
Boyce, will make use not Gully OF the
information that has been presented by
Mrs. Schenk, but also much OF that
which has been brought to their attcli-
ton by residents OF Wheeling, as well
as by persons in Europe.
According to Mrs. Schenk her hus--
band, on his trip to Europe last year,
visited among other cities Rome, Ber-
lin, Vienna and Paris, and from these
cities has been forwarded information
which, it is asserted, when presented IN
legal form will act as a bar to the pc.
tition OF the husband for divorce.
1t was stated by the attorneys yester-
day that not only will the alleged con-
duct OF Schcnk during the last year be
brought under investigation. but the
whole OF the IA years Of his married
life. This will include, said Mrs.
Schcnk, the earlier period, when her
husband, she alleges, accompanied by
one or the other ofthe Schenk brothers,
would go out at night to have what
was termed a good time"
Later, she states, after she and her
husband had reached friendly agree
ment to let each live their separate
lives without friction, he would spend
much of his time after work away from
home.
During this PERIOD" she said, he
was in no legal sense husband to me. !"
In addition to the alleged statutory
ground it will also be set forth by Mrs.
Schenk that where she erred it was due
to the alleged contrivance OF her hus-
band, who condoned her errors, and
she will further specify cruelty and in
diguities.
According to Mrs. Schenk, record
was kept OF the number OF baths she
alleges her husband enjoyed during
the II years OF their married life, and
this will be specified, as also an alleged
habit Of her millionaire husband OF
keeping on his feet, day and night, a
pair of socks until they were worn out
at the soles by the shoes.
During all the critical periods OF
my life," said Mrs. Schenk, I have
been left alone to face its perils and
not once was my husband present.

American potash buyers committee
submitted to Congress points out that,
under the law rs recently passed by
Germany, the mines of the potash
trust in that country were allowed q
proportion of output sufficient to sup
plv the world, while the independent
mines that had made contracts to sup
ply the United States at reduced
price we're limited 10 one-fourth OF their
actual sales already made to us. In
addition penalty of S22 per ton was
imposed for overproduction. Thus the
penalty falls exclusively upon shipments
to this country and indirectly upon the
consumer.
An effort is apparently being made
to create the impression that this con-
troversy is really contest between the
policy OF the German government and
IN America trust. The fact is that
there is no such complete and powerful
trust in the United States as this Ger
man potash syndicate. This syndicate
actually monopolizes the entire potash
supply OF the world. save for the two
mines that broke away from tho trust
and sold to American buyers. In this
country there are about 70 different
fertilizer manufacturers using potash,
and OF these about IS per cent are in
dependent Of any trust affiliation.
Another claim made by the German
committee at the White House was to
the effect that the American buyers
knew that law would be passed pro-
vidng for government taxes and pen
altes to be assessed, and that they
made these contracts with this knowl-
edge in mind. The American COM
mittee states positively that this infor-
nation was brought to them after the
contracts were made. and used rs q
club in an attempt to force them to
give up the contracts already entered
into, which would have reduced the
price OF fertilizer materially in this
country.
An official high in the government
is authority for the statement that
the cost OF this controversy must
necessarily fall upon the consumer,
and that it should, therefore, be settled
quickly. While the American COM
panies payiug a penalty have met the
prices made by the German trust that
pays no penalty, this has been done at
loss, and should they withdraw from
the field because of this, the price OF
fertilizer in this country would be die
tated by the German monopoly un-
trammelled in Berlin.

vict, whom they were trying to arrest.
The negro escaped, and the country is
being secured by a score opposes, aided
by militia company.
Yesterday morning the officials OF
Wilson were notified to look out Tor

officers went to the house to make the
arrest Deputy Munford and Chief
Glover went to the front door. and
Policemen Warren and Wynne stood
guard at the rear.
AS Muniord and Glover entered the

THE POTASH CONTROVERSY.

The cotton growing states are partlc-
ularly interested in the potash con-
troversy between the State Department
and Berlin, since the future price OF
fertilizer is directly affected by the
outcome. German interests have Just
made representation to Secretary Knox
similar in effect to those assertions
made by circular letter to the miners
throughout the south claiming that
the German potash law, which places
penalty on mines selling heavily to
Americans at . lower price than has
formerly ruled, is merely part OF the
general conservation policy of Ger
many.
According to Ochsimus. leading
German geologist, there are about
80 1000 square miles of potash in one
section Of Germany, each OF these
containing some 50,O00,000 tons of
pure potash. This same authority
states that the annual output from
these mines is about 100000 tons
each, and he figures that II the an
nual output should jump tc o.OOO,-
900 tons annually, it would still re-
quire 621, 600 years to exhaust the sup
ply.
Another OF Germany's assertions is
that the Law does not discriminate
against Americans. The brief of the

BATTLES WITH LocUSTS.
In 1880 an Army Was Arrayed Against
the Ravaaina Pests.

the Ravasins Pests.
Since the days of the pharaohs the
locust has been an unmitigated plague.
Pliny relates that in many places in
Greece a law obliged the inhabitants
to wage war against the insects three
times a year, e., in their various
states Of egg, larvae and adult.
In 1749 lucusts stopped the army of
Charles XII, king Of Sweden, as 1t
was retreating from Bessarabia after
it's defeat at Poltava. The king at first
imagined that he was being assailed by
terrific hailstorm.
In Pennsylvania in 1880 the ravages
Of the locusts assumed such disastrous
proportions that the army had actually
to b. called out to deal with the pests,
and whole regiments Of soldiers were
employed gathering them up and put
ting them into sacks.
A weird, uncanny looking customer
is the locust. The general color
scheme Of his body is kind Of indefin-
ite green, relieved by pink legs and
wings Of a whitish color. Two huge,
blank, unmeaning eyes give an express
sion Of utter imbecility to the insects
countenance.
To atone in a measure for their de-
structive proclivities the locusts are
edible. The Arabs are particularly
fond of them. Camels, to which they
are given after being dried and roasted
between two layers Of ashes, look upon
locusts as great delicacies.
The flavor resembles that of crabs,
and in Bagdad they are consumed so
extensively as to affect the price Of
meat.-Stray Stories.

SOME NOTABLE HANGMEN.
How They Are Paid in England ane
What They Have Done.

In spite of the gruesome calling,
John Ellis. the man who hanged
Crippen, has earned the esteem of a
very wide circle of acquaintances in
Rochdale, where he carries on very
successfully a hairdressing and news
agents business. Ellis is a quiet, un-
assuming man, who rarely betrays
his interest in crime. He would much
rather talk to you about football, of
which game he is an enthusiastic fol-
lower, or discuss musical entertain
ments. In his early days he had earn
ed his living by singing, while on a
tour through Lancashire, and still
possesses a good barytone voice. And
privileged visitors are allowed to
make the acquaintance Of his dogs
cats and chickens, the pets of his
four children.
Ellis has assisted in over sixty ex-
ecutions, and has personally carried
out seven, among others who met
death at his hands being Dougal, the
Moat Farm murderer. 1t was through
acting as assistant to Ellington that
Ellis became chief eXecutioner, and
it is an extraordinary fact that when
the post becomes vacant the home

Bits of Philosophy.

Man shapes his destiny by the at
tiutde of his own mind; when man
loves the good he will live in the
uplifting mood, but when he lives in the
atmosphere of the evil with delight, he
will find it impossible to do the right.
When you make all others happy IN
the home you are very likely to find
heaven for yourself; if you are not
kind to your nearest kin, you are not
worthy of the hope of heaven.
When you doubt your own strength
Providence will never take hand IN
your affairs to help you onward; your
greatest mistake is made when you
underrate the holding-back power oil
the doubt.
Your goal is ever within your reach
If you give to your aims the proper
range: if you aspire to the best and
let your love of the work do the rest
you will never fail
If we grumble today we stumble on
our way and thus fail to make the
WOIlu ally bclltl VIC ii'hS
weary when we are not CHEEKY and
WEAKNESS makes man gutter.
The bricks in the structure called
life will not remain long in place when
man is constantly dynamiting that
life with the explosives Of negative
power-construction is negatived by
destruction.
Thoughts must be lifted with high
motives and man must look up when
he sins: doing your best is your test;
failure is not a fault but low aim is
a shame.
Man can help the world by working
but not by being mere worm of the
dust; when man belittles himself he is
compelled to beg for what he should
get in a better way.
