perous and happy.
The following item clipped from an
exchange might with truth, be appli
ed to some of the O’Neill merchants.
I The story is told of an old bachelor
who liought a pair of socks and found
attached toone of them a slip of paper
with these words: “I am a lady of 20
and would like to correspond with a
view to matrimony.” Name and ad
dress weregiven. The bachelor wrote
and in a few days got this letter.
“Mamma was married twenty years
ago. Tlie merchant you bought those
socks from evidently did not advertise
or lie would have sold them long ago.
Mamma handed me your letter and
said possibly I might- suit you, I am
eighteen years old.”
Attorneys Harrington and Mullen
tiled a suit in the district court last
Tuesday for Michael P. Jordon, of
Rock county, against the Fremont,
Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad,
in which Jordon sues the above com
pany for *40,000 damages on account
of injuries alleged to have been re
ceived while on a train operated on
defendant’s road in July, 1901. Plain
tiff alleges that he was a passenger on
a train on defendant’s road and when
the train arrived at Newport, the
destination of plaintiff, he got out of
his seat and walked to the door.
About the time he reached the door
the train stopped suddenly and plain
tiff was thrown backwards and in
jured his wrist, side and head in said
fall and that said injuries have ser
iously impaired the health of plaintiff.
The case will probably come up at the
next term of the district court.
The county convention of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, composed
of delegates from the various Wood
men camps in this county was held in
this city Wednesday morning. The
convention was for the purpose of
electing one delegate to attend the
state camp to be held in South Omaha
next month and for the purpose of se
lecting the place for holding the next
county convention. O. F Biglin was
elected chairman and F. W. Phillips,
clerk. A roll call of the several camps
was taken to bringout the candidates
and the names of the following gentle
men were presented by their respec
tive camps: B. E Sturdevant, Atkin
son; W. B. Cooper, Chambers; C.
Lockard, of Ewing. On the fourth
ballot Mr. Sturdevant was elected.
Mr. Lockard being elected alternate
Upon motion O’Neill was elected as
the place for holding the next county
convention, after which the conven
tion adjourned.
While not as yet offlcialy announced
we have it from good authority that
tha Great Northern passenger train
will again change time, possibly next
Monday. Arrangements are being
made to run the passinger as a mixed
train .and take off the freight now
running. Under the change contem
plated trains will leave Sioux City
and O’Neill every morning at 7 o’clock,
taking eight hours for the run and
reach the end of the division at 3 p.
m. Thus the train leaving O’Neill at
7 o’clock in the morning would arrive
at Sioux City at three in the afternoon
and would remain thereuntil 7 o’clock
the next morning when it would start
back. The train leaving Sioux City
at the same time would be here from
three in the afternoon until 7 o’clock
the next morning.
The most important case tried at
the recent term of the district court
was the damage case of Axsel Hag
bland against the Fremont, Elkhorn
and Missouri Valley railroad. M. F.
Harrington assisted by A. F. Mullen,
conducted the case, for the plaintiff,
while J. C. Sheehan, of Omaha, as -
sisted by It. It. Dickson looked after
the interests of the defendant. Ilag
blad was injured by a train at Nor
folk last December, having his head
smashed and his scalp torn open
which required fifty-six stitches to
sew up He brought suit against the
company for $20,000. The case was
contested inch by inch by the oppos
ing lawyers and the procedings each
day attracted a large crowd. The ar
gument of the attorneys on both sides
were strong and convincing. The
case was given to the jury at 11
o’clock last Thursday morning, at 9:20
Friday morning they returned a ver
dict for plaintiff, assessing his dam
ages at $4,000.
South Dakota has long enjoyed the
reputation of being the mecca sought
by all who were desirous of being re
lieved from the galling bonds of wed
lock and many a member of New
York’s “400” or Boston’s smart set
has sought the capito) city of our sis
ter state to gain the necessary resi
dence prior to bringing their suit for
divorce. Hundreds of this class of
cifjzens reside in that state each year
and several of the cities have organ
ized what are known as “divorce com
mittees” to advertise among the
would-be divorcee or divorcer the mer
its of their respective towns as places
of abode during their enforced stay in
the state. Dakota gained its popu
larity as a divorce state because it
was claimed divorces were easily and
quickly obtained and without the
notoriety that was gained by such ac
tions ;in other states. Nebraska has
never had a reputation as a divorce
state but a divorce was granted in the
district court in this county hist Mon
day that for a speedy untying of the
nuptial knot we think can discount
our sister state. The case was I hat of
Elizabeth J. Newman vs William II.
Newman. In her petition for divorce
plaintiff alleged that for six months
past she laid been a resident of Ne
braska and that defendant was also a
resident of this county and state. She
further alleged that they were mar
ried near lied Oak, Iowa, in December,
1874, and that ever since that time
she conducted herself toward defen
dant as a faitliful, chaste and loving
wife. She alleged further, in her pe
tition, that defendant abandoned her
in December, 1899,. and that lie has
not lived witli her since that time
and has not supported nor contribut
ed her support since. For the reasons
stated she prayed for a decree of di
vorce and such oilier relief as might
lie equitable. To thepetitionof plain
tiff, defendant tiled an answer in
which he admitted that they wer*
married as stated in plaintiff’s peti
tion and were and had been residents
of Nebraska for six months, but
denied each and every ot her allega
tion. While defendant denied the
main causes of action in plaintiff’s pe
tition, lie entered no objection to the
granting of the divorce. The petition
was filed about 3:40 p. in.,Sand 10 min
utes thereafter (he decree was grant
ed. This ought u> be speedy enough
to satisfy even the most particular of
the Sioux Falls divorce colony.
As to Exemption Laws.
A correspondent in the Trade Ex
hibit lias the following article upon
the exemption laws which we publish
for the benefit of a few in
O’Neill who evade the payment of
their just obligations at every op
portunity:
Dear Sir—A writer in the Examiner,
over the name of Roderick Ramdam,
speaking of some proposed legislation
refers to merchants’ endeavor to ob
tain a just collection law as "a legisla
tive airship—that is to secure the
nullification of the poor man’s protec
tion,—the exemption law.”
Either our friend is making a play
to the gallery or else docs not know
whereof to lie speaks. Does our friend
know the present exemption laws?
A head of family who has no lands,
town lots or houses exempt as home
stead shall have property to the value
of $500.00 exempt from levy and execu
tion.
Then the statute, a relic of antiqui
ty, adopted in this country in colonial
times and at this day modernized but
slightly, recites a few of the tilings in
the way of personal property that
shall be exempt—Rooks, Seat or Pew
in Church, Burial Plot, all necessary
wearing aparel for the family, beds
and bedding stoves and cooking uten
sils, all household furniture of value
of $100.00, not before enumerated.
One cow, three hogs, all pigs not over
six monthsold. And if lie is a farmer,
in addition, one yoke of oxen, or a pair
of horses, ten sheep and the wool
thereof, either in the braid or in yarn
or clot h. Necessary food for the stock
for a period of three months, one
wagon, cart or dray, two plows and
other farm implements not exceeding
in value $50; provisions for self and
family for six months and fuel for six
months, the tools and implements of
any mechanic; the library and instru
ments of a professional man; a laborer,
clerk or mechahic has sixty days wages
exempt , which practically means that
as sixty days wages are never owing to
him at one time, he is always exempt.
A homestead of the value of $2,000 is
exempt. Now, in all fairness to the
poor man it must lie said lie is as a
rule, honest and lives within his
means.
A man who owns any or the classes
of exempt property above enumerated
is not in the strict sense, a poor man,
and if lie contracts bills should be
made to pay them.
An honest man will not agree to con
tribute according to his means toward
liquidating his debts. This is all the
mechanics ask. The bill, as proposed,
simply provides that the court shall
inquire into the debtor’s income and
direct what portion, if any, shall be
paid in installments, having due re
gard to the debtor’s necessities. Every
advanced state in the union has either
already provided or is striving to
provide better collection laws—aimed
not at the poor man, but at the cheat.
Every lawyer will tell you that not
one in one hundred jugdrnents is col
lected; not because the debtors are
poor men, butbecause the debtors are,
as a rule, dishonest men who hide
behind their exemption.
Perhaps it would be well to detine
what one friend calls a poor man:
It is the hard-working, sober man
who has met with misfortune, is all,
or out of work and wants to pay his
dedts, but cannot. Then 1 believe in
protecting him, and the law, as pro
posed, does proteifc him.
It is the harbened schemer who buys
until his credit is exhauster in one
place, then goes to another and so on,
never paying anyone, but always re
ligiously claiming ills exemption.
Then the proposed law won’t protect
him and Is intended to make such
characters pay—an even t lien, it pro
vides this shall lie done without hard
hips to his family.
Nothing In the way of progress has
ever been started- upon its journey
without opposition, and where possi
ble, a play to tlie gallery.
It would be extraordinary if a law
in keeping with the modern ideas of
justic and right, could be suggested
without the usual cry.
If one friend sends a deputy sherilT
to collect a judgment, under tlie pres
sure law, he finds the debtor sitting
in an exempt chair, reading an exempt
Bible, surrounded by exempt furni
ture, cases tilled with exempt books,
exempt pictures upon the walls, closets
tilled withexempt clothing. Upstairs,
wife is making up the exempt beds
Withexempt bedding, in the kitchen,
daughter Sallie is preparing dinner
withexempt utensils, and an exempt
stove; daughter Jane is setting the
exempt table with exempt dishes.
John Is feeding an exempt cow in the
barn, Jimmy is feeding the exempt
hogs and a lot of exempt pigs that
never were six months of age. A team
of exempt horses harnessed to a nice
exempt wagon stand at tlie door. Ten
exempt sheep are in tlie field, while
stacks of exempt cloth made from the
exempt wool repose in the closets.
The barn is well filled with exempt
food for the stock.
In tlie tool house are exempt plows
and other instruments, while in the
store room are exempt provisions (not
paid for) for thedebtor and his family
sufficient for six months, and they
have grand appetites. The coal bins
are filled with exempt fuel sufficient
for six months.
Acress the road is an exempt burial
plot, while adjoining in the church is
an exempt pew, where on a Sunday
the debtor assembles witli his family,
while they sing, “Oh, Let Us be Joy
ful,” and the sheriff returns tlie ex
ecution “N. B.” I)o you think the
exemption laws need amending?
