Noted Divorce Trial On-After sew
en- years of the bitterest kind of legal
fighting in which seven cases grew out
of the original action, the divorce suit
of Blanche Mengel against George
Mengel, wealthy Davenport brewer,
yesterday came to a hearing before
Judge House in the district court. Sew
en- years ago Mrs. Mengel. then act
ress in a German stock company here,
brought the action against Mr.. Men
gel for divorce. The case never came
to trial as the court ruled that Mr..
Mengel must pay for the support OF
his wife until the divorce was decided
and the attorneys of the defendant
carried the case to the supreme court.
Seven cases grew out of the original
action. They were carried to the SUI
preme court, the United States court,
back again TO the district court and
repeal followed repeal and exception
until the original case has
finally come up. Sharon & Higgins
represent the plaintiff and b. |. Sallin-

The Congressional Outlook

Little Rock, Oct. 3-Like in most
other contests, candidates for Con-
gressiOnal hOnors two years hence
are beginning to get a good grip on
their kelleys with the avOWed in
tention Of throwing them into the
ring. Two of Arkansas strongest
representatives in Congress will
have determined opposition in 1916,
and as most all Congressman have
served two terms or more, it is poor
guessing to prophesy that they, too,
will not be opposed
F. Epps Brown, member of the
Arkansas Tax Commissioner, former
Speaker of the House, former prose-
cutting attorney Of the Seventeenth
district for numerous terms, and
distinguished citizen of Des Arc, is
the first to come to the front in the
Second Congressional District, an
nouncing that he will seek the seat
of w. A. Oldfeld, who is now the
Democratic nominee in that district
for the fourth time.
I, HaVis Nixon, former prosecutor
in the Eleventh judicial circuit, has
made public his intentions of seek
ing the office now held for the sec
Ond time by Col, S. M. Taylor of
Pine Bluff.
Several are desirous of contesting
with Otis Wingo, in the Fourth dis
trict who will be up for a third
term in the next primary. Fort
Smith is expected to furnish pro-
minent entrant in this race Op-
position is also expected to II. M.
Jacoway in the Fifth district, but
Arkansas has the best representa-
ton in Congress that it has had in
many years, and the people realiz-
ind il will be slow TO make q
change unless the new blood is
much more competent than the
present official.

Under thc headline Congratulate the President; People Feel That Coal Tests Have Proved His Wisdom" J. ]. McGrath. writing in the Seward Gateway says:
 The result Of the tests of the Mata- nuska coal, as shown in the dispatch from the Associated Press to the Gtae- way yesterday. has, needless to say, brought joy to the people of this city.
 Many business men and others were seen this morning with 9 view to ae- curing what might To called 9 com. poslte opinion as to what the success of the ccal meano to this part of Ala. ska and this composite opinion can be described as nothing else than ire. mendously optimistic
 The opening Of the coal for the navy alone means the employment Of thousands Of men. 1t is also gen- erally accepted as certain chat the coal will find commercial market all over the north Pacific ocean, par. ticularly in the western states of the Union.
 "The result of tho test particularly justifes the work Of development which President Wilson has under taken and shows that the construction Of tho government railroad is not only Q sound business policy but one of real expedienoy providing as 1t does for the hauling Of the coal to tide water.
 "The opinion generally is that this part of Alaska is now on the verge Of an awakening before which the stampede to Dawson or Nome seoma insignificant 1t is regarded as quite within the bounds of possibility that within a twelyemonth tho population of the country tributary to these neigh boring harbors will exceed Q score oi thousands. No one seems to doubt that Q city or cities will be estab lshed in this neighborhood that will far exceed in size anu population any city ever before established north oi Vancouver island.
