That's One Reason Wife of James

Failure of her husband to keep his
promise to take out insurance equal
ing her pension loss if she married
second time and his alleged ultra
economic methods of handing out
money, are reasons assigned by Belle
Park for asking {. divorce from James
Park, an employee of the Capital City
Creamery Co. Then. too, Park had Il
daughter by . former marriage and
she had a daughter and son by a
former marriage and that caused
trouble, as described in the petition
filed today in the office of the clerk
OF the district court
Mrs. Park claims that her husband
during their married life, which be-
gan January %, 1919. gave her only
IS a week for provisions, purchased
one pair If shoes for her. one pair for
her daughter and four pairs of stock
ings. Those articles represent the to-
tai clothing purchases of the husba nd,
the petition states.
In addition, she complains, that he
was guided by his daughter and paid
no attention to her advice. She had a
pension as a result of her for ner mar
riage. and. she asserts. that he failed
in his promise to cover the loss of
pension by marriage by taking out in

Against Il. G. Bass and wife.

Mrs. Emma Winchester Brings Suit
Against Il. G. Bass and wife.
Claiming that Edward G. Bass and
his wife. Rosetta Bass, obtained con-
tract from her and have refused to
return il and have sold the property
named in the contract for which she
had nearly paid, Mrs. Emma VIA
chester, 1928 Quincy street, today filed
suit in the district codrt for recovery
of the contract and return of her
money, or property. H Morton White,
coal dealer, is made party to the
suit.
The property named in the contract
was purchased by White. Mrs. Win
chester asked, and obtained, a re-
straining order making it impossible
for White to sell il again. Edward
Bass is interested in the greenhouse
near the ball park
Mrs. Winchester stated in the peti,
ton that her late husband, Alexander
Winchester entered into a contract
with Bass and his wife to purchase
three lots on jefferson street in
Pierce's addition for $3.50 and was to
ment plan. At the time of his death
in January, 1919 Mrs. Winchester
claims that $3.50 of the purchase price
had been paid and since that time she
has kept up payments.
Recently, she claims. that Bass told
her that he believed the contract he
held was different than the one held
by her and asked to examine 1t. She
claims she turned over the contract
while the property has been sold TO

Vessel of Liquid at Him.

Leo Gabler. Fifth street and Golden
avenue, today was granted a divorce
from Rosetta Gabler in Judge Robert
d. Garver's division of the Shawnee
district court. Disposal of property.
which includes the Voluminous fruits
and vegetables canned by Mrs. Gabler,
will be made later.
Gabler in his petition charged his
wife with an ungovernab.e temper and
claimed that at one time she threw

claimed that since the suit was filed
she and her husband stayed at the
Hotel Thorne one night, which, she

charges. Gabler claimed the name
registered at the hotel was a forgery
and the hotel register was taken to
the court room for inspection.

these young Kansas veterans and
ahead of them is the goal they have
dreary months of waiting. They do
not want to talk about the war. They
want to hear about home. They
would rather discuss the merits of the
little white bed in some Kansas home
than all of the cootie filled dugouts in
France. They would rather hear that
the girls still like to go to the movies
in Topeka than tell of all the charmers
they may have met in France-if they
remember any. In short, they don't
want to tell. they want to hear about
home. And above all that, they want
to get home.

missloners To Come Up Next Week.

The fight over the location of the
new county home and hospital which
was to come up before Judge George
Fl. Whitcomb of the district court to-
day was postponed iuntil sometime

and members of the Shawnee County
Medical society ware at the court room

GOES TO A NEW HOME
Minnie Allen Had Lived ut Orphans
Homo Thirty Years.

After being an inmate of the To-
phans' home for thirty years. Minnie
Allen, 81, a mute, is speeding today
toward a new home in Oklahoma. 1t
was the dream of Minnie and her
brother, Milo, that when he grew to
manhood he would make a home for
her and they would live together. That
dream has come true.
Milo Allen was an inmate of the
same home when he was a child.
When he became older he went out
into the world and just before the war
thought he had nearly realized his
dream and had an Oklahoma farm
ready for his unfortunate sister. Then,
he was drafted. Now he's out of the
army and thru Mrs. Cora Olson of
Morrison, Okla, sent for his sister.
There was a slight disagreement at
first over the release OF the girl but
that has all been ironed out. Now
Minnie is going to the home for which
she has been so patiently waiting. The
girl is well educated and during her
lifetime in the home met and made
friends of many Topeka people.
