TWO WIVES ASK DIVORCE
They Charge Their Husbands Have
Cursed and Abused Them.

They Charge Their Husbands Have
Cursed and Abused Them.
Being cursed and abused by their
husbands are the grounds on which
two wives sought divorce in the dis
trict court Saturday afternoon.
Mrs Ida May Archer asked a di-
vorce from George Archer. a farmer
living near Topeka, alleging that he
had struck, beat and wounded her,
called her indecent names and threat
ened her with bodily harm. Archer
was arrested Saturday by deputy
sheriffs on a warrant charging him
with beating Mrs. Archer. A warrant
charging him with selling liquor was
also to be issued, it was said.
Mrs. Effie Mccullough, 819 Warren
avenue, asks a divorce from Charles
A. Mccullough, a mechanic, alleging
that he has refused to support her and
that she had to do washing for others
to maintain herself and 15-year-old
daughter. She asks the ownership
of their household goods, a COW, a calf
and some chickens, but leaves McCul-
Tough his 5000 worth of mechanics

daughter.

all of which confirms the Judgment
of the newspaper editors as TO public
opposition. A bill introduced in ART
IONA to prohibit smoking in public
dining rooms and other public places
was first amended to prohibit con-
sumption in public of peanuts. chew
ing gum, tea and coffee and then de-
feated by the senate.
Kansas Wants Fags Again.
Kansas, with SO per cent noes, Sc
riously considered the repeal of its
anti-cigaret law. Last year a petition
for a referendum in Oregon failed of
sufficient signatures to bring the
question to vote and 95 per cent of
the editors declared their public
against such legislation.
'In Oklahoma with "a per cent OF
noes an anti-cigaret law was killed at
the committee"
The net result of the years legisla-
ton, therefore, is the gain of one
small state by the anti-tobacco people
and the loss of three large states.

fare on round trip tickets from all
points in Kansas for Kansas Free Fair
visitors is announced by f. E. Mcleod
of Chicago, chairman of the Western
Passenger association.

Returns Show 50 Per Cent Fa-

Tennessee, Alabama and Iowa
Wiped Law Off Books.

New York, May 16.-Statutory pro-
hibition of the use of tobacco by
adults is still a long way off if the
editors of the country truly interpret
public sentiment in their communities.
This statement is based on the results
of a QUESTIONABLE conducted by Ed
ward A. Moree of this city for the To-
bacco Merchants association of the
United States.
The questionable was sent to nearly
1900 editors. Replies were received
from nearly $3.50 representing total
circulation of 22,000,00o.
Sentiment Against Very Small.
OF the 7.S47 editors replying, 1898,
or $50 declared their communities
against tobacco prohibition. Only
SO of the remainder found any con-
siderable sentiment favoring such pro-
hibition.
The questions asked were:
IN Do you favor the enactment of
laws prohibiting the personal use or
Co) In your Judgment does the gen.
eral sentiment of your community IaFor
C3l Is the use of Tobacco personally
objectionable to you?
I'm presenting these questions"
said Mr. Moree commenting on the re-
results I'VE made no arguments pro
or con, as we wished unbiased replies.
We did not announce the name of the
organization We were representing
until afterward The nature of the re-
plies showed that most editors We're
entirely in the dark as to whom we
represented.
Utah Only Anti State.
"Checking up the QUESTIONABLE re-
turns with the anti-tobacco legislation
of the last year it is interesting to note
that the highest percentage of replies
reporting sentiment favorable to anti
tobacco laws came from Utah where
AZ per cent of the editors thought
thei1. public favored such a movement.
Utah is the only state to adopt an anti
cigaret law last year and the editors
attributed this to the influence of the
Mormon church.
I'm Idaho where the Mormon
church is also strong a prohibitory bill
was passed but was almost immedi-
ately repealed. The editors in that
state were 50 per { cnt against anti
tobacco legislation.
"On the other hand old anti-cigaret
laws were repealed by Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Iowa. In these states the
editors estimates of adverse public
sentiment were SO, "a and 95 per cent
respectively.
There has been considerable agita-
ton in other states during the year
