A BANKRUPTs WIFE THRIFTY.
New York Woman Saved $i0,0G0 of Husbands Pay, but Won't Divide.

From the New York Herald
 John K. Manix, once head of the J E. Manix Company, buyer for 50 department stores. which went ban krupt in June 1915, used to give his pay envelope to his wife each week. Miss Annie R. Manix saved $40,000 out of it for their joint well fare, but now they are separated he is without funds and she refuses, he says, to give him one-half of his own savings. Mir. Manix has be- gun action in the Supreme Court against his wife, asking an account ing and one-half of all funds which Mrs. Manix has in banks.
 Mir. and Mrs Manix were married in 1885 and have one son, William Manix, 2 years old They lived to- gether happily until two years ago, he says in his complaint For years they had an agreement by which he gave over his earning to her, she paying for all household expenses and saving what she could Even after he and Mrs. Manix separated two years ago, he says, he eontin- aed to pay her $50 a week and later continued to pay S25, altho in finan- elal straits. Now he is on small salary and is serely in need Of mon ey, he asserts, but cannot induce his Vile 10 part with any.

 Corporal Glustchenko Tcherni- awki is a woman. She hears an in- human hatred of the enemy. The Cossaek patrol which she commands is noted for it's fearlessness and daring always led by her. She is known by the enemy to be a fine sol dier, but wild and brutal and relent- less and unpardoning. Her patrol is known as the Eagles, because these Cossaeks swoop down, do their bloody work and disappear.
 In this way the girl Cossack lead CT is averaging the death of her fath- CT, Major Glustchenko. killed at the front several months ago. She ar rived at the front in September and has since been recommended six times for decorations. Her soldiers worship her and the enemy has put a price on her head.

WARNING AGAINST
 FAKE INVESTMENTS
State Bank Commissioner Davis Asks Prosecuting Attorneys to Aid in Enforcing the Blue
 Sky" Law of State.

Little Rock, June 30.-State Bank Commissioner John M. Davis has written letter to every prosecuting attorney in the state asking his CO., operation in the stricter enforce ment of the law against the sale of questionable or worthless securi- ties to the people of the state. The evil has been very largely overcome, but still reports are frequently re- ceived of the operation of such agents Mr. Davis desires their cooperation and official authority toward a rigid enforcement of the act. and in cases of violation be- lieves the imposition of the penal ties provided would be wholesome remedy
 In discussing the evil, which more or less appeals to everybody in the state, since all are at some time ap- preached by these fakers, Mir Davis says;
 This department has complaints and inquiries from various sections of the state, and not infrequently to, that some solicitor for sale of investment securities has appeared in that vicinity, and by any sort of representations has prevailed upon some one who can ill afford a loss to place some money ln an enter prise, the merit of which the pur- chaser knows not nor has any means Of acquiring knowledge. He finally decides he has been swindled, then he writes this department to know II such and such securities have been authorized for sale under the Blue Sky law. and often our reply is that we have no record of such concern. Result is the investor has lost his money and the solicitor is beyond the realm.
 A misdemeanor has been commit ted and the purchaser is or ought to be made the prosecuting witness and the seller ought to reimburse the purchaser fully and pay fine not more than Si.000. and my be imprisoned
 This department has been liter- ally flooded with wildcat schemes disclosed in their application for authority to offer their securities Tn the state, and we take pride in saying that the applicants refused have asked the privilege of selling more than a million dollars oi questionable securities to our peo- pie. Their undertaking in most cases had a reasonable ring of busi- ness in them, but the corporate or partnership status was such as to indicate great unfairness to the purchaSerr

Mrs Hadley Insane When Killed
 Sheriff Giles. the Verdict.

Muskogee, Okla, June 27.-Mrs. Ida Hadley, confessed slayer of Sheriff Jake Giles of Beaumont, Tex, was tonight acquitted by a jury in the district court here on the ground that she is insane. Her husband, Paul Hadley, who was with her when Giles was killed on a Katy train. was found guilty and sentenced to life Imprisonment in the state penitentiary.
 Mrs. Hadley raved like a mad woman when the verdict was read. Kicking and screaming, she threw herself upon her husband and fought the officers who strove to tear her away from him. Four of flcers carried her to a police patrol and she was taken back to her cell. Her husband received the verdict calmly.
 T am not guilty. I knew nothing of the plot to kill Giles, yet I am satisfied" he said. Had they taken me back to Texas, they would have killed me anyway. I am glad they gave me life, and I'm glad they ac- quilted Ida"

Obituary.

Another good woman has crossed over the River. June 23rd the death angel visited the home of Elder B. F. Cannon at Hatton, Ark, and claimed as it's victim his dear companion, Matilda Cannon.
 She was born in Illinois, May 8, 1852. Died at their home in Hatton, June g, 1916. She leaves two sons by her first husband, DP. c. E. Bay an of Walnut Ridge, Ark, and J. K. Bayan, of Yacott, Wash. The doc ter and wife visited her during her illness. She suffered so much from January till her death that Bro. Cannon had three doctors, but the disease was sarcoma( (cancer). All was done that could be done Miss Lenora Cannon, a trained nurse, came and nursed her five weeks and stald with her until death. Blessed girl
 Funeral services were held by Elder J. w. Edwards of Cove. Aft erwards sine was laid to rest in the WitherSpoOn cemetery to await the Resurrection morn.
 She and Brother Cannon were married May i7, 1908 and lived hap oily till her death. She was a noble Christian, devoted wife, a loving mother, and kind to everyone. She said many times during her afflic- tion, God is good have a good home and good care" and nothing was in her way. So she leaves her two sons and families and daugh- ter-in-law and grandchildren, chil- dren of a son who preceded her, a husband and step children. and many friends to mourn her depar- ture. But we have the assurance that she has entered into that rest that remains for the people of God. Husband and all relations extend their sincere thanks to the neigh bors and friends who were so kind during Sister Cannon's illness and death.

 Only one or two companies now remain out and they will be in camp by Friday morning. All have been recruited to the peace strength of 66 men. and altho they lack equip ment. they are ordered to the fort for that purpose. Some of the men arriving with companies have been clad in overalls, and others have worn the regulation clothing, with derby or slouch hat. It does not take long to make them at least look like soldiers when they reach the post, where drilling seven hours day is the regular program. This soon makes them act, as well as look the part.
 Seventy-fiye transport wagons have been set up on the west enc of the Capitol grounds, just out side the arsenal, and it gives a sure enough warlike appearance.

 Mr. Hughes can't get by with glittering generalities when criti- eising President Wilson's Mexican and foreign policies. He must come right down to brass tacks and tell what he would have done different r li he had been in the White H0lsp
