UNIQUE ALIMONY DISCUSSION
Rer,arrisge Of Former Wife Does Not
Bar Her From Collecting, Says
Appeal Court.

On the ground that the spirit OF
alimony is to impose tax on those
who break the holy contract of mar.
riage, Judge Ewing C. Bland, bachelor
member of the court of appeals. in
his first decision made It possible for
Mrs. Olive May Nelson to collect
$4,000 from James A. Nelson, for
mer husband. although she has been
remarked since 1904. The ruling is
said to be unique.
When the Nelson's were divorced
on Januaiy 10, 1903, the wife was
granted $35 month alimony, but fail
ed to collect In August OF the fol
lowing year, Mrs. Nelson married
again. In 1913 her lawyers filed a suit
in the circuit court to revive the
alimony because husband No. 1 had,
It seems, fallen heir to considerable
money. Judge o. A. Lucas ruled she
was entitled only to the amount due
from the time of the divorce to that
Of her remarriage, but Judge Bland
overruled this finding. He said re.
marriage Is only a ground for modi
flying the alimony, but that it does
not automatically release the divorced
husband.
A ruling by the court of appeals
enjoins Judge A. B. Duncan of the
Buchanan county probate court from
appointing guardian for Mrs. Nell
lie D. Finch, wife of Thomas G. Finch,
a st. Joseph deputy sheriff. The
woman has been engaged In legal
fight to keep from being sent to the
asylum for the insane, for several
months. She once eluded an attach.
ment by escaping from Hunter ave-
nue. residence In her night clothes.
Mrs. Finch declares her husband be-
gan Immediately after their marriage
to try to have her adjudged insane
so he could gain control Of her estate.

SAVE COUNTY HEAVY COSTS
Voters Of Maries Volunteer to Testify
In Election contest-Judse's
Seat at Stake.

The voluntary testimony Of more
than 600 Maries county voters, who
will be examined by Commissioner II.
e. Alexander in the contest proceed
ings over the election of a judge Of
the Springfield court Of appeals, will
save heavy costs in the controversy.
Commissioner Alexander, who was
appointed by the supreme court, held
hearings at several towns in the
county recently. The main point at
issue is whether 1900 voters would
have voted for the regular Democratic
nominee had his name been on the
official ballot.
John H. Bradley of Kennett, was
the Democratic nominee and Argus
Cox Of Springfield, the Republican
nominee. Bradley got no votes in
Maries county. despite the fact that
1900 Democrats voted, because the
name of Arch Johnson, a candidate
in the primary, was on the ballot, in.
stead Of Bradley's. II the supreme
court decides. that Bradley is entitled
to all the Democratic votes cast in
the county, Cox will have lost the
office by $50. The office at stake
is twelve-year term as judge at an
annual salary Of $500.

Dealers Attending Auction In
ST. Louis Paid High Prices
For the Skins.
AMERICAN ERMlAE IS POPULAR
PeIt5 Brought s2.of In Competition
With Offerings From Russia, 81
IBERIA, Alaska and Canada.

Interest was sustained at high ten.
sion in the international fur auction
at st. Louis, total sales for one day
aggregating more than $500, 600, which,
dealers say. eclipse all records in any
market.
A selection of choice lynx skins
brought more than 100000, the prices
ranging about so per cent higher than
at the sale last September, according
to buyers.
American ermine sltins brought the
top price in lot OF IS 900. The amount
was $2.01 O skin, and the American lot
was in competitions with the offerings
Of Russia, Siberia, Alaska and North
west Canada. Dealers announced that
ermine was sure to be worn much next
summer and that summer furs now
seem to be a staple item in the trade.
Some extra large and dark beavers
sold at fancy prices, and the entire
collection of II, 400 skins brought $115,-
900, which is an advance Of approxi-
mately 40 per cent over the prices
last September.
/ Canadian and New York dealers
were the largest buyers of mink. The
$1,000 skins catalogued brought ap-
proximately $150,000, the choicest
pelts selling as high as $40 each.
A., wild skin skins, 1000 of them,
brought $4,000, and $500 badger
skins were sold for $4,000.
House cats brought as high as SLIPS
skin. This price was paid for the
well-groomed animal that apparently
had been somebody's cat. The alley
outcast brought only few cents.
The total for cat skins, however.
amounted to about $4,000.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tion, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble =

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood
The kidneys should receive some as.
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr.. @. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consln In the summer Of 1914 with
81 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented half-section of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
