DENIES A DIVORCE
TO NAGG|NG WIFE
Iowa Judge Says Husband
Was Driven from Home
in Order to Get Peace.

Boone, Ia, July 20--Judge II. M.
Wright of Fort Dodge, presiding jur-
jst of this judicial district, has handed
down a decision which Is considered
a most remarkable legal document.
Coming, as it does, from jurist who
is kindly, home loving, and tender
hearted old man, it is all the more re-
markable.
Judge Wright recently listened to
the evidence in suit for separate
maintenance. His kindly face betrayed
nothing of what was to come in the
opinion handed down.
He says that if the good Lord ever
made a man who could live at ease
and comfort with the woman who was
suing he would like to see him, for he
would be a phenomenon. The opinion
has been read by all attorneys in this
city and is attracting much attention.
The decision follows in full, 1t being
short and to the point:
"A bright, capable, and fairly good
looking woman has obtained divorce
from two husbands on the ground of
desertion and has two or three times
brought actions for divorce against
her present husband, based on no just
ground, needlessly putting him to
great and inexcusable expense in pay
ing costs and attorneys fee on both
sides. When she had had her hus-
band twice arrested on the ground of
drunkenness when the charges made
were not true and her husband was on
neither charge convicted: when she
dogs her husbands footsteps into pub
lie places and openly and, as the court
believes falsely accuses him OF talking
with lewd women; when she goes to
the hotel where he has gone in search
of peace and after he has retired fore
es her way into his room, and after
creating a public uproar compels him
to get up and go with her, then she
comes into court in an action for sepa-
rate maintenance with many pre-
sumptions of fact against her.
Il have given this case much
thought, care, and attention, and have
tried to find from the violence some
way whereby | could decide in her
favor and award to her some money
lot maintenance, out ho'S cSSh va
able to do SO.
THE great mass of the evidence is
overwhelmingly against her, and |
have been forced to the conclusion
that II the good Lord ever created a
man with whom the plaintiff could live
peaceably and happily, should like to
see him, for certainly he would be the
most wonderful phenomenon in the
universe.
"She has badgered her husband with
annoyances, some of them small, but
all Of them bumiliating to the last de-
gree. At the end Of 1t all, am forced
to the conclusion that the defendant
was practically driven from home, and
that he was fully justified in leaving
IL, as life there for him had become
not merely difficult, but impossible.
After the plaintiff had threatened to
shoot him. he was justified in notify
ing the merchants no longer to extend
credit to plaintiff on his account and
after his repeated trials he was justi-
fled in packing up his little personal
effects and leaving the plaintiff and
in afterward refusing to go back TO
the sheol he had left

Genesis Of Life Insurance.

Life insurance originated in 1IO6 In
London. In that year there was form
ed the first life insurance company. II
was called the Amicable Society For q
Perpetual Assurance Office. 1t was a
mutual benefit concern. Each mem
Der, without reference to age, paid a
fixed admission fee and a fixed an
nual charge per share on from one tc
three shares, and at the end Of the
year a portion Of the fund accumulat
ed was divided among the heirs OF
those who had died in accordance with
the number Of shares each dead per
son had held. Out of this company
with its crude and imperfect methods
life insurance as it exists today has
grown.
The total lumber production of the
United States in the last thirty years
has been more than 100000 900, 600
feet.

BAPTISM ST|RS
THE PRESBYTERY
Important Question Is Dis
cuSSed.
MEETING YESTERDAY.
West Jersey Presbyterian Ministers
Suggest Change in Con-
fession of Faith.

At the winter meeting of the West
Jersey Presbytery in Camden yester-
day considerable discussion was pro-
vided when it was proposed to change
the wording of the direction of wor-
ship so that it will conform with the
Confession of Faith. The confession
now permits the administration of
baptism by "sprinkling, pouring or i'm
mersion". The directory says "sprink-
ling or pouring.
The proposition was to eliminate
the words defining two methods of
baptism and without specification,
leave the method entirely open, as it is
now in the Presbyterian Church. The
opinion of the Presbytery will be ex-
pressed by resolution at the April
meeting of Presbytery.
The Rev. R. H. Gage, of Wenonah,
chairman of the Committee on Syn
odical Home Missions, presented res
olutions in which all churches were
urged to contribute 25 per cent in
crease to the Board of Home Missions.
1T was adopted.
y 1t was reported that the Rev. Sam
uel H. Potter. now pastor of the Wood
land Avenue Church, Camden, had
been called to become the pastor of

TARIFFS FOR
FIRE INSURANCE

In 1910 the fire loss In Bridgeton was
exceedingly small. 1t was scarce any
thing in 1909. in 1908. iBut two or
three years has there been any con-
siderable losses by fire in this city, and
insurance companies have paid out but
comparatively little money.
The truth of the matter is that years
of experience has proven that Bridge
ton is a city showing small losses by
fire. and consequently is a good risk as
whole for the insurance companies.
Despite this fact insurance rates
have been going up and up, until in
some sections of the city they are a
serious burden, and representatives of
companies are constantly adding to the
buroen by requiring this and that
change about a property, which these
experts deem additionally hazardous.
1t is likely that the property owners
of ..Bridgeton are paying to the insur-
ance companies considerably more than
$50. 900 in premiums each year. This
is too much for Bridgeton to be paying
into the treasures of the companies
for the risk incurred. In others words
the rate is too high. There should be
a straIght-out. Iall-together movement
regarding this matter upon the part of
the people.
