Chrlstiana.-On the basis of frag-
mentary news received from Russia
through Independent Swedish and
Danish channels the situation as de-
scribed in the Norwegian press may
be summarized as follows:
Rumors of the overthrow of the Boil
shevik government are unfounded.
They probably are due to the fact
that the Soviet administration contem-
pates consolidating in moderate di-
rection.
Leon Trotzky has developed into an
advocate of sort VI general compul-
scry service, including the workers

EX.W|FE HERE TO
HELP Save HOME
J. R. Thomas Processes to Be-
lieve Woman Held in Dur
ess;; Desires to Renew .
....> 3 Mortgage.

, For many weary hours Saturday a
man held silent vigil in the lobby of
the postoffce' waiting for someone
who did not come.
The man was James T. Thompson,
a carpenter of Des Moines, Ia, who
was waiting for his divorced wife to
come and call for mail that has been
waiting there for her for some days.
Thompson is anxious to have his
former wife come out from hiding SO
that he can discuss business matter
with her which, he says, will protect
her interest and that of their 13-year-
old daughter, who is living with her
sister at Mount Pleasant, la.
A mortgage on his home, in which
Mis- wife and child have an equity, is
about to become due, and he is
anxious to have her sign all applica-
tion for renewal of the loan so that
foreclosure proceedings will not be
brought and the home saved to the
child.
The couple were divorced about a
Year ago. He says his former wife
left Mount Pleasant, Ia, July 5 for
Omaha. She came to this city on a
train. On the same date F. M. Arm
strong, who lives in Des Moines, and
who has wife and two grown chill
dren' one of them son in the United
States army, he alleges, left Des
Moines for Omaha, making the trip
by automobile.
Suspected an Agreement.
Thompson says he suspected there
was an agreement on the part. OF the
couple to meet in this city. Friday, at
noon, he had Armstrong placed under
arrest on a white slavery charge at
Blair, Neb. The town marshal took
the man in custody and notified
United States Marshal Eberstein, who
ordered Armstrong released on his
own recognizance and to appear Mon
day to answer the charge preferred
against him by Thompson.
In the meantime Thompson alleges
that his former wife is kept in hiding
in this city and he is anxious to hnd
her, that she may join in an effort to
secure the renewal of the mortgage
on the property in which all have ar
equity, for the sake of the little
daughter, and he is beside himself
with anxiety.
IF she still has a mothers feeling
for the child" said he, she will meet
me and help me sign the proper pa
pers for the renewal of the mortgage.
1t is to her interest and to the interest
Of the littI girl. | cannot help but
think she s being kept hid under

For H0n0rS.

According to his own statement, R
Beecher Howell, general manager Of
the Metropolitan water district, is
having a hard time preventing horrors
being thrust upon him.
When Mr.. Howell went to Lincoln
Friday to protest before the State Rail
way commission against the abandon
nent Of track owned by the Omaha
railroad, which gives switching facili-
ties to the water plant the State Jour
nal took it on itself to declare that Mr..

to S. R. McKelvie, now the only
candidate in the field. IF | were

If the political wiseacres are correct,
one of the conditions inspiring the
popular uprising at Lincoln for Mr..
Howell are traceable to the outspoken
opposition of Mr.. McKelvie to the
state socialism program of the Nom

the carpet before the State Council o!

Another condition is the candidacy
of Mr.. Howell's political comrade. N.

On the other hand the Nonpartisan
league is supposed to be for Senator
Norris for denomination, while the
Dodge and Howell elements have
been giving aid and comfort to Ross
Hammond, which might make COM
plications.
On the democratic side the latest
political dope is that efforts are still
being made to get Richard L. Met

shown no signs of responding and a
powwow of the big ones IS said to
