Tt was the greatest revival of the
"Washburn Never Quits" spirit in
many years.

One OF MANY REASONS
Mrs. Sweet Alleges False Pretense in
Suit for Divorce.

Alleging that he fooled her into be-
Iieving he owned a home in Topeka,
Bessie E. Sweet today filed a petition
in the district court asking for a di-
vorce from Clarence Sweet.
That is just one of the reasons ad-
vanced by Mrs. Sweet as a logical
reason for a divorce. The cows and
chickens also play part in the matri-
monial affairs of the Sweets.
Mrs. Sweet states that they were
married in October of last year and
that there are no children, although
she has children by former mar
riage.
Most of the time since thier mar
riage, she says, she has furnished the
food and clothing for the family, in
Guiding the defendant. She declares
that he possesses both a violent tenn
per and violent hands, the latter of
which che says he has laid upon her
several times.
She says he stays out late and re-
turns home well-intoxicated, then
amuses himself abusing the family and
using language of a "scandalouS char
acter." Mrs. Sweet says his presence
in the household became unbearable
and that just about that time he left
Then she lists their respective prop
erty at the time they were married.
She says she owned two horses, one
COW, one wagon and a lot OF nouSenold
goods. She says he had pillow, a
wagon and moving van But, she
says, he stold her he owned a house,
located on two lots on East Fifth
street, upon which there was only 800
due.
Mrs. Sweet says she advanced the
money to pay off the 500 and that
since then she has spent s345 improv-
ing the place. After doing all that,
she says, she recently discovered that
Sweet. didinot' have a deed to the place
at all and that when she wanted to
pay off the Indebtedness against it he
refused. and instead had the deed
made out to- a brother, James Sweet.
Now, she, says James Sweet has served
notice upon her to.vacate the premises.
< She asks for alt the property she
had 7whens she wass married, twenty
five dollars a month alimony, a di-
vorce. and title to a SO lot in Mount
Auburn cemetery.

Those gifted political prophets who
see the nomination of Elihu Root for
the presidency by the Republican ma
tional convention ought to be able to
see little farther and size up such ac-
ton for what it would be, the commits
sion of political hara kiri by the Re-
publican party. The leaders of the Re
publican party who will control the
convention are gentlemen of judgment
and astute politicians. They know
this as we'll as anybody. And is it
reasonable to urge that they will pro-
coed to butt the party's head against
the stone wall of defeat merely for the
purpose of parading their power in the
councils of the party, and especially at
such a time as this when the nation is
so sorely in need of the services of the
Republican party to guide its ship of
state?

in that district a surprising amount of
moisture is reported in the sub-soil
and a few moderately heavy rains
soon would relieve the situation.
Wheat is looking fine in all parts of
the state except the southwestern, and
in some central counties. where dam
age by the hessian fly has interfered
with the outlook considerably. The
condition of oats and barley is re-
ported to be entirely satisfactory.

cept- in the, morn northern counties,
where about three-fourthS of it is
done. The crop is coming up to good
stands in all parts and cultivation is
well under way in many places. but

ditfons in corn and wheat region for
the week ending April 16:

pi owed, except in some eastern states
where it has been too dry and in many
northern districts where it was too
cold and wet; corn planting is now in
progress in Michigan and southern
Minnesota.
In many sections wheat has con-
tinued to improve, but considerable
wheat has been damaged by insects in
the central Mississippi valley and por-
tions of the Plains states, and some in
jury by frost and cold weather in the
Rocky Mountain and northern Pacific
regions. In California all grain crops
have been damaged by dry weather.
Spring wheat seeding is progressing
along the northern border.
Oats sowing is being pushed in

FILE COUNTER CLAIM
Palace Clothing Company Asks Judg-
ment Against Mrs. Crosby.

Mrs. Flora Crosby, brought suit
some time ago against H. A. Auerbach
and H. A GuetteI to collect money al
legged to be due for rental of a build
ing adjoining the Palace Clothing
company.
The defendants filed answer in the
district court late Tuesday afternoon
asking for judgment against Mrs.
Crosby for $52,362.50, alleging that
they were deprived of the building
upon which they held a lease and were
damaged to that extent. They allege
that following the fire which Destroy
ed the Palace Clothing company they
were dispossessed of the Crosby build-
ing upon which they were paying a
rental of 1925 a month and upon
which they held lease good until
February Is, 1917. They hold that
the rental was worth $500 a month
and that consequently they have been
losing $175 a month That accounts
for $362.50. The other $4,000 is
damage they claim they sustained
when they were forced to move into a
less suitable building following the
fire
