Kalnes Sues for Diverse

I. M. Kalnes, sometime editor of
the Starbuck Times, Prohibition poll
tician, and we'll known in this Sec
ton, has brought suit against his
wife for diverse. The Starbuck
Times says, '"The proceedings were
brought in Minneapolis the first of
last December. w. H. JACKIE, county
attorney of Douglass county is at
torney for Mr.. Kalnes. Mrs. Kalnes
by her attorneys, Arthur E. Olson and
Arthur L. Markve of Minneapolis has
filed an answer denying the charges
in the complaint and cross-bill ask
ing for a diverse for Mrs. Kalnes on
the grounds of desertion. Other
grounds are also set up in the cross
bill but their exact nature has not
been disclosed. We understand the
proceedings are in the nature of a
compromise and that it is likely that
a diverse will be granted to Mrs. Kali

wedding tour in the east they settled
down here and he edited this paper =

postmaster but was removed before
the end of his term on charges of po-

Prohibitionist and waged bitter po-
litical fight during most of his career
here. Five years ago he leased the
paper to the present editor and he
then pursued the study of law at the
University for year and half. At
terward he worked on pepper at Eau

IMPEACHMENT RESO-
LUTON PRESENTED
CHARLESTON STIRRED UP
OVER CHARGES AGAINST
JUDGE STURGISS

CHARLESTON, Jan. 15 - Intro
duction Of an impeachment resolution
in the House, designed to remove Geo.
c. Sturgiss, of the Monongalia coun-
ty has served to intensity the bitter
ness that already existed over the
case of the aged jurist. The resolu-
ton which makes eleven separate and
distinct charges against the judge,
was introduced by delegate Arta T.
Shomo of Barbour county, who ex-
planned that he did so by request.
The resolution was referred to the
Judiciary committee. The procedure
in the case will be for the House to
bring an indictment against the judge
The Indictment would be sent To the
Senate for trial of the case. The
president Of the supreme court would
sit as president Of the Senate at the
hearing.
With the lone exception Of the gas
fight, the Sturgiss case is talked more
than any other question now before
the legislature. One hearing the talk
around the hotel Hobbies would be led
to believe that the case transcends
in Importance the Virginia debt ques-
ton.

MIGHTY LEADER or MEN
DEAD AT A CRITICAL HOUR

In the death of Colonel Roosevelt
the world loses one of its most he
roic leaders. Vigorous, aggressive
and sometimes impulsive, Colonel
Roosevelt was one of the most re-
markable men which the world has
ever known. His courage mental,
moral and physical--was Of the high
est order. Time-servers and men
without backbone could not under
stand character which never finch
ed before any task or danger. He
was the very embodiment and expon-
ent of the best in American charac-
ter, which is courageous and idealis-
tic, and which, indeed, always sees
straight and thinks straight and acts
straight.
Colonel Roosevelt was mighty
leader of men. He ennobled their
thinking and he stimulated their aspi-
rations for higher achievements,
His influence in molding American
life will be more clearly seen as time
moves on and looking backward we
see his heroic figure ever looming
larger and larger and throwing its
Illuminating power over the thought
and life of the nation
Colonel Roosevelt's influence, how
ever, was not confined to America. It
has been worldwide in its power, and
America missed great opportunity
when it failed to utilize his tremen-
dous qualities of leadership during
the last two years, when he could
have been a tremendous factor for
good in Russia or elsewhere.

Dear Mr.. Boyles:
l thank you sincerity for your
valued favor of recent date regard

ranges our plans, however, under the
circumstances we will accept your
proposition and send you only the
two following attractions:

OIL AND GAS AT CLEMENTS
\ ours truly,
GEO. S. BOYD

The report comes that oil and gas
has been found in the test well at
Clements and that the well has
proved better than hoped for. Gas is
escaping and SO far it cannot be con-
fined This well is located on the
Hiram Anticline which would indicate
that the great basis back to the Be
lington Syncline is full of gas and
oil besides the many valuable veins
of coal which underlie this great
erea stretching to the mountains.
Thus it can be seen again that this
Valley abounds in resources unknown
even to the present generation.

Starch in potatoes is not destroyed

in recent studies conducted by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in laboratory tests that it is
possible to recover most of the starch
from frozen and rotten potatoes,
which lead specialists of the depart
ment to suggest that an attempt
should be made to salvage the great

anyone sick or afflicted. / never have

patient every needed attention. Mrs.
Brown herself is a high-class profess
sional nurse, and Miss Kirkpatrick
was also a professional nurse-they
were all pains taking, very prompt
and therefore gave very fine service
I am unexpressibly sorry to say that
Miss Kirkpatrick, since then has passed

perior young lady in every, sense of
the word, and if I'm so fortunate to
get to the Good World shall expect
to find her there.
Such hospital was much needed
in the delightful and hospitable city
of Philippi. The town, county, doc
tors and people ought to be very
proud of tbs institution.
The doctors were very faithful and
kind to me. Drs. Smith, Murphy,
Bosworth, Myers and Hoff, all were
kind and helpful
