the Brotherhood, presided. Dr. J. T.
Baird offered prayer at the opening of
the session. The special music for the
occassion consisted of a solo by Mrs.
Gamble, after which Mr. Cooper intro
duced the speaker.
Judge Kennedy in his preliminary
remarks mentioned the good being done
through the Brotherhood movement
which was spreading in the Presbyter
ian church, and was a move in the
right direction a3 it tended to place the
church more in touch with the social
side of life. The speaker said in dis
cussing the subject given him that he
would leave out the view of the ecclesi
astical and moral phases and devote his
time to the practical points which had
come under his notice during his exper
ience on the bench,and said in substance
that statistics recently compiled showed j
that the divorce evil had rapidly in
creased during the past twenty years
and this was especially true in Nebras
ka. The speaker mentioned that the
divorce of Jesus' time among the Jews
was quite different from those issued
by courts of today, as they were mere
ly a writing on the part of the husband
excluding the spouse from his room and
his society. Some form of divorce had
been in use as long as there has been
marraiges.
The speaker dwelt upon the evils of
the laxity of the divorce laws of the
states Nebraska having many grounds
for divorce outlined in her statute re
quired only a six months residence be
fore the courts have jurisdiction,
which the Judge thought should be ex
tended to a year or more, especially
now since South Dakota had streng
thened its divorce laws requiring a
longer residence. The Judge is a mem
ber of the Douglas county judiciary
where many judges are required to
transact the business. In that city
three judges look after the equity
business of the court, before which
divorce cases are tried. Judge Ken
nedy in the past three years has dis
posed of 442 cases of which 225 were
divorce cases. He did but one-third of
young men will find the business profit
able.

only six contested cases, and of the six,
three obtained divorces. Taking the
county over there was a divorce granted
for every twelve marriages. And when
one considered the sorrow of the inno
cent children left without the guidance
of father or mother the condition was
lamentable. It had leen noted that
the majority of all the children brought
before the juvenile courts were those
of divorced parents.
The causes of so many applications
for divorce the speaker mentioned were
many. Perhaps the tendency of people
of rural districts to rush into the city.
The drink was the cause of the great
majority of the cases. But back of it
all was something else, that is a proper
conception of what marriage is. Here
the speaker referred to the Episcopal
marriage ritual "for richer or for
poorer, though sickness and in health
etc." Divorces were oftenest sought
by those to whom the marriage t on
tract had no religious significance.
The church can do much to correct
some of the evils by petitioning the
legislature for an amendment to the
divorce laws of our state. The period
of residence should be extended to one
year, and as the vast majority of the
divorces arc granted on default of ai
pearance, and service of summons is
made by published summons, the law
should require evidence that diligence
had been used to get personal service
on the delinquent spouse, and an order
of court obtained, before published
service is made. The speaker believed
that the state should be represented in
every defaut case, either by the county
attorney, or an attorney appointed by
the court, and the fees taxed as a part
of the costs of the case. Judge Ken
nedy also favored a lengthening of the
time for marriage after divorce is se
cured from six months, as is now the
Walter Lippencott and his sister.
Miss Kate, of Memphis, Neb., arrived
in the city Saturday and will visit for a

Mrs. Steimker's home was tastefully
decorated for the occasion and every ,
detail necessary to the comfort and
pleasure of her guests has been care
fully planned and executed.
A business meeting of the member
ship was held early in the afternoon,
which rapidly disposed of important:
matters under consideration. After:

with her well known hospitality, served i
a delicious there course luncheon. Offi

AUCTION SATURDAY
At Sam Smith's Barn Was
Largely Attended More
Horses Demanded.
The crowd at the public sale last Sat
urday was double that of one week ago,
and property was sold at fair prices.
Much more j-tuff could have been Fold j
had it been available. A fourteen!
months old bull brought fifty dol-j
lars. Horses were in demand and sev
eral more could have been sold had they :
been there to be offered. Those hav- j
ing stock which they want to sell
should avail themselves of the oppor- I
tunity of this market. The enterprise
of Mr. Smith should be encouraged as
it not only affords a place where per- :
sonal property can be sold, but affords :
an opportunity for one wishing to do so
to stock up his farm with choice an
imals. He will sell anything from a !
coop of fowls to a threshing machine. !
Next Saturday Mr. Smith hopes to
have more horses to offer the buyers, i
But if you haven't horses bring in :
your other stuff, it will sell.
