NEW LAW IS NB E Flfty-ilx Wives and Nineteen Hus bands Have Filed Petitions Ask- " ing for Separation. The amendments to the dlvorco law which were enacted by tho legislature of 1009 huvo had little apparent ef foct In tho matter of reducing the number of applicants for relief from the bonds of matrimony, If tho records of tho district court of Lan caster county aro to bo taken ns an index of conditions throughout tho state, says the Journal. As a niajtor i inci me divorce notions now penn ing In this court exceed In number by eoven those on the docket for tho October, 1908, term. Tho equity docket for tho October term, 1908, contained soventy-flvo dl- orco cases. In ufty-slx of those tho wives woro plaintiffs, whllo in nine teen the husband was tho plaintiff. At tho present tlmo thero aro eighty two divorce cases on tho docket, women being plaintiffs In sixty-six and men in slxtoen, Tho now law went Into effect in July, 1909, nnd thero was a big rush of applicants- to get their petitions on 111c beforo thnt time. For this reason thero wero morn cases of this kind on tho docket for tho October term, 1909, thnn for either the previous or subsequent ear. In October, 1909, thero wero pending In this court 138 dlvorco cases, ninety-eight In which women woro plaintiffs and forty In which men sought relief. All cases now pending havo not been Instituted since tho last term of court. As a matter of fact sovcrnl ot them havo been on tho docket for two or three years, being continued from term to term. At the last term many such actions were dismissed by tho court on acount of lack of prosecu tion. If, however, the attorney asks that the caso be continued, his re quest Is compiled with und tho cause is kept pending. Prior to the nmondmcnt of the law in 1909, Nebraska had tho reputation t being ono ot tho enslcst statos In the union in which to obtain a dl- orco. Tho grounds upon which such. relief could be obtained wore prac tically tho sumo as those recognized In most of tho states, but It was tho brevity of tho term of residence re quired boforo beginning nctlon that was looked upon as an Invitation to would-bo divorcees lo como to Ne braska. All thnt wob required vns that tho plaintiff should havo been a resident of the Btnto for at least six months beforo filing his or nor peti tion. Tho Miller law, enacted nt the last term ot tho legislature, provides that tho plaintiff shall have been a resi dent of tho stato for at least one year beforo filing his or her potltlon, and If tho ciuiso of action arose outsido ot tho state, plaintiff must havo boon a resident of Nebraska for at least two years. Dlvorco decrcos under tho now law aro of an Interlocutory na ture and do not becomo final until six months nfter being granted by the court, thus preventing marriage in -this or any other stato during the porlod mentioned. , Increased Switching Rates. The stnto railway commission will on October 13 henr the nppllcatlbn of tho Union Pacific railroad to increase switching rates between South Omaha and Omaha.

At tho last session of tho legislature n bill was introduced for tho purpose of establishing such a department, but thono back of It wero unablo to get It through to final passage. It is hoped that with n stato organization to lend ItH Influonco, better Buccess may at tend tho efforts to bo put forth nt tho coming session.
