Tommy and William.

Times-Republican: Little Thomas
Jones and little William Thompson
were born in the same little town, in
the same month Of the year. started
to school the very same day to the
same teacher and went step by step
together up the ladder Of fame as
represented by the different grades.
Both were decent boys, and we'll

Giants for supremacy in nine in

athlete. He inclined to trade. lie

ure and delivered milk and had a
bank account. And thus they grew
in beauty side by side and filled two
homes with glee. y.
They went to the same university
when the town school was through

was full of Toms doings there. Tom

W. W. Wright, Of Kansas City, Says
Question of Providing Fine
Feathers for Pretty Birds
Causes Trouble.
FASHIONS ARE TO BLAME
Eve First Q~uarreled With Adam Ov-
er Changing Cambria Garb for
Fig Leaf and Smile, he Says.

AKansas City, Mo-, Aug. 3D.
dEve's first quarrel with Adam oc-
Cured when he refused to buy his
wife a cambria dress and a sunbon-
net to take the place of the figleaf
and the heavenly smile with which
she was clothed, and men and wom-
en- have been quarreling over the
same thing ever since" That is the
view Of w. w. Wright, Kansas City's
divorce proctor, who asserts that 80
per cen of divorce suits originate in
the woman's longing for pretty
clothes.
"As long as women continue to
be the most beautiful creatures, ad-
mired and sought after by men, un-
less husbands are able to supply the
funds to provide the wives articles
of dress and adornment, there will
be need for divorce courts.
Il saw the other day a suggestion
that the women Of America declare
their independence of Paris dress
makers and adopt a national 0 s
tune. I'm heartily in favor of that,
even though it would cost me my
job. Adopt a national costume, and
the divorce courts will go out OF
business.
while, of course. most divorce
suits are based upon the alleged
wrongdoing of either party, the
wrongdoing is merely an effort and
not the cause. The cause lies back
in the clothes question. That is
particularly true where the wife has
worked before her marriage. After
the novelty of welded life wears off
the begins to think Of the
independence she enjoyed before she
was married. She thinks of the
weekly pay check. When she want
ed a new hat or a dress then she
went and bought it,
"Now she has to ask her husband
for everything she gets. If she has
no children she decides to go back
to work and nine times out of 10
the road before her leads to one
thing and another and finally the di-
yorce court. Pretty soon she begins
to look on her husband as a burden
and then it is all off. My investiga-
ton has shown that in an average
of at least half the cases of this
kind, the husband does about all the
homework that is done and pretty
often he beats his wife to the di'
vorce court

tive escape him.
Yesterday Braun learned that a
man believed to be Coleman was liv-
ing in Danville, Ill, under the name
of Hill. Going to Danville he found
the object Of his search and had
him arrested. He confessed his iden-
tity and agreed to return to Iowa
without requisition.
The three indictments returned
against Coleman Sept. IL, 1904, in
cluded charges of forging and alter

These indictments include $4,000.

William told his mother when he
came home and casual mention made
to his father by a college professor
he met on the train Il day. No
body had time to watch William.
Everybody was too busy watching
Quarterback Jones handle his team.
And when the big game was over it
was Tommy who was carried off the
field by a raving crowd of students
who sang songs about him and yell
ed his name and the big story in the
local newspaper dealt with the mag
nificence of Tommy. The fact that
William took the Somethingorother
prize, that he carried off the big
honors in the engineering depart
ment was chronicled in a brief no.
tice sandwiched in between an an
nouncement that Billiken's Pure
Food grocery had fresh dairy butter
and a statement to the effect that
wash dresses were being slaughtered
at Muggins'.
1t was a pretty big day for the
town when the big league called
Tommy and he mounted the slab for
the Gigantics. When he won his
game the enthusiasm around town
amounted to excitement. 1t was
worth a several line head and half a
column in the home newspaper. And
every time Tom won a game the pa
per told it in glee and every time
he lost one it explained the unavoid-
/ able and uncomfortable circumstan-
ces which led up to the loss. And
so from team to team and league TO

disappeared in the bushes.

ROOSEVELT TALKS
TO four CROWDS
Mass, Picnic, Ball Game, and Audi

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 23.-The
progressive movement Is constructive
and not destructive, said Colonel
Roosevelt in one of his speeches
here yesterday, in replying to state
ments of opponents that he Is at
tempting to tear down the establish
ed order and weaken the constitu-
ton. The ex-president said emphat-
ically that he was striving merely
to help in making the government
more truly representative.
Colonel Roosevelt made four
speeches during his day in Wilkes
barre. In the morning he attended
high mass in the Holy Savior
church. in commemoration of the
jubilee of the Rev. Father Curran,
its pastor. 1t was to be present at
this celebration that Colonel Roose.
Welt came to Wilkesbarre. After ad-
dressing a crowd in front of the rec.
tory, Colonel Roosevelt went by auto
mobile to Harvey's lake. fifteen
miles away, where he spoke at a din
ner. On his way back to the city
he went to the ball grounds and
made a brief address. Last evening
he spoke in the armory.

impressed by his reception il

DEPARTMENT Will
PROTECT AMERICANS
More Forces Will be Sent to Mica

Washington, D. c., Aug. 23.-The
state department is determined to
extend the fullest possible measure
of protection to American life and
property in Nicaragua. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that if the naval
forces in that country, even if heav-
lily reinforced by the large marine
contingent now being assembled at
League Island and the several hun
bred blue jackets en- route to Coron-
to on the California and the Denver
are not sufficient to assure that pro-
lection, forces will be rushed
forward until that end has been Sc
cured. " -.
The state department is still I'M
moved by utterances in congress, re-
lying implicitly and confidently up
on the long line of precedents where
American military and naval forces
have been employed without con-
gressional direction in cases where
American life and property were in
jeopardy. The officials declare that
is the sole purpose of the landing OF
the marines and blue jackets In
Nicaragua. 1t has not been found
necessary to send any special in
structions to American Minister
Witzel or to Captain Terhune of the
Annapolis.

Car Runs Over Leg,

Marshalltown, Aug. 23.-To have
a railway car run over his leg and
do no more damage than cut the
skin and break the small bone was
the experience Of George Starbuck
of this city, a Chicago Great West
ern brakeman on local trains be-
tween this city and Oelwein. Star
buck was engaged in making a coup
ling at Reinbeck and in stepping
out from between the cars slipped
and fell. One wheel of an empty
gondola car passed over his right
leg, but instead of severing it or
mangling it badly, caused only a
flesh wound and fractured the fibula.

WAS TRACKED OVER
Three COUNTRIES
Alleged Forger Caught at Danville,
Illinois.

Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 23.-Tracked
across three counties by the son OF
the man whom he is alleged to have
swindled Of $4,000, John Coleman,
fugitive from justice since 1904,
was arrested in Danville, Ills, yes
terday and is being brought to this
city to nswer to three indictments
which the grand jury returned
against him on the eve Of his fleeing
this city. If all charges are proved
he is the greatest and most unscru-
pulous swindler that ever operated in
this section OF Iowa. Proprietor OF
the largest department store In this
city, owner of a fine livery stable
and a thriving real estate business,
Coleman was ten years ago n OF
the most prominent business men
here. His standing in business and
social life was unimpeachable.
Besides the faith the citizens here
placed In him Coleman had the con-

said to be the principal losers as a
result OF his operations here.

Des Moines, Aug. 23.-That John
w. Kennedy, the former Des Moines
man who killed himself yesterday in
Santa Barbara, CAL, was in reality
a millionaire is borne out by state
ments Of people here who knew him
well. He was one of the principle
owners of E. c. Dewitt & Co. of Chi
cago, one of the largest and most
successful manufacturers of patent
medicines in America.
Before becoming interested in the
Chicago concern he was a salesman
for the Chamberlain Medicine com
pany of this city and made his home
here, where he was well known. His
friends say that he was in very poor
health upon the occasion of his last
visit here. He had to move to Cali
fornia because of his failing health.
