legged as reasons why she should be
granted a divorce.
Mrs. Shirk has been in the publlc
eve more or less since the death OF
her father, the late G. L. McCourt OF
Mcpherson, Kan. ten years ago. Her
father conducted the hotel at McPher-
son for many years and was that
county's representative in the Kansas
legislature several terms. On his
death, Gertrude McCourt, being the
only child, fell heir to his estate,
which consisted of the hotel property,
six large wheat farms and number
of residence properties in Mcpherson.
In June, 1909, she leased the hotel
for term of years and lived part OF
the time in Kansas City. While there
she purchased an expensive motor car
and soon gained distinction driving
about the streets in her big red, swag-
ger machine.
While out riding she ran over and
killed Ciprian Philbert, II years old,
on SwOpe Parkway, in March, 1910. A
coroner's jury exonerated Miss Nc
Court from all blame for the death.
A pathetic circumstance was reveal
ed by the misfortune of Miss McCourt
as result of the motor accident.
While she was living In luxury in a
handsome home out in Roanoke, her
mother maintained herself by operat-
ing a little millinery store in Kansas
City. Mother and daughter were
estranged because Miss McCourt in
herited nearly all of her fathers es-
tate. The mother forgot their differ
ences in her daughters trouble and
came forward to assist her

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-WHEAT-Decreas of
stocks of wheat in elevators acted as more
than an offset today for bearish advices
from Australia, Argentina and Russia. 1t
was seriously contended that the store
here would continue to lessen for an in
definite time. Uncertainty of the tariff
situation. however, seemed to curtail buy
ing power. The opening varied from 14c
lower to 1sc advance and there was a
slight further hardening of the market.
A huge increase of the worlds available
supply brought about a subsequent break.
There were also assertions that Canada
would make wheat free before January l.
The close was nervous, 11c to sale under
last night.
CONSIDERATIONS of freezing weather
lifted corn Prices started a shade to ia
nc higher and after a little reaction took
once more to the upgrade.
The market later fell back when wheat
turned weak. The close unsettled
at net decline of 1ac.
OATS-Oats showed firmness in sym
pathy with corn Demand though, was
light, andn the gain not important
PROVISIONS-In provisions the bear
side had the advantage owing to a set
back in the hog market. First sales were
21ac to 10d1211c lower, and there appeared
to be no tendency to rally.
