Novel Sort of Wager.
Fairbury News: The News heard a
novel bet made on the streets of Fair*
bury the Saturday before election. A
democrat and a republican farmer
were arguing the merits ard demerits
of free trade, and finally agreeing that
Wilson was sure to be elected, they
entered this agreement: If, during
the last week In October, 1916, co'rn,
wheat, oats, hogs, cattle and other
products of the farm should be as high
in the general market as they are at
this time, then the republican agreed
to vote for the democratic candidate
for president at that time; whoever
he may be, but on the other hand If
there should be a depression in farm
products at that time, the democrat
was to vote for the republican nomi*
nee.
The Insurgent Modern Woodmen
have won out in their fight to prevent
the enforcement of the new rates of
insurance which were passed by the
last head camp, and which were to go
into effect on January 1st. An order
suspending the new rates were passed
by the executive council of the order
at the regular monthly meeting held
at Bock Island, 111 , last Tuesday.
The head officers of the order did not
take this move of their own violation
however, as a permanent injunction
war issued by the county court of
Sangamon county, Illinois, against
the officers of the order enjoining
them from putting into effect the new
rates adopted by order. In order not
to be in contempt of court the new
rates were suspended and the rates
will remain the same as they have
been for the past ten years. The head
officers say the case will be appealed
to the supreme of Illinois but the
chances are that the case will not be
settled until after the time for the
next head camp when the member
ship will make a determined attempt
to gain possession of the order and
fix the rates as they think they should
be fixed. Stay with the order Neigh
bors we will win out in the end
Theodate Monahan has filed a peti
tion in the district court asking for a
dedree of divorce from Henry J. Mon
ahan, to whom she was united in mar
riage in Sarpy county, Nebraska, on
August 18,1889. She alleges that she
has been a resident of this county for
more than ten years and ghat two
years ago last May her husband left
her and took up his home upon a
homestead and has not since that
time made his home with the plain
tiff, except once when he was taken
111 and she went to his house and had
him removed to her home where she
could take care of him during bis sick
ness and that she nursed him for about
three months. That as soon as he
recovered he returned to his home
upon bis homestead and has not lived
with plaintiff since. She alleges that
he has failed to provide for her and
her ohildren, although / sufficiently
able to do so. She alleges that he Is
worth about $12,000 and she asks the
court to award her $50 per month for
the support of herself and family dur
ing the pendenoy of the action; $100
for court costs and witness fees and a
reasonable attorneys fee. She askB
for an absolute divorce, the custody of
four minor children, reasonable ali
mony and that the court order the
defendant to pay a reasonable sum
monthly for the support,maintanence,
education of the minor ohildren and
such other relief as the court may
deem proper. The defendant died an
answer in which he denies most of
the allegations of the plaintiff and
accuses her of desertion. He also
denies that he is worth the sum she
names in her petition. He askR that
her petition be dismissed and that he
be granted an absolute dlvorca from
her on the grounds of desertion.
Leap Year Chances.
(By The Frontier's Poet Laurlet.)
Gome all you girls and listen
Just harken unto me,
And I will tell you something
That will make your sorrows flee.
I’ve been thinking of it lately
And I’m sure It Is a fact,
That the boys near this town
Want to try the leap year aot.
Paul Kotka has been patient,
Looking forward to this year;
Now if you would pop the question
It would fill him with good cheer.
He is now a splendid farmer,
Hurry girls and take the "hint”
For I’m sure there is no telling
When you’ll find a surer mint.
John Schmidt is also waiting,
Just let me give you a hunch,
Who-evergets that little fellow
Will surely gettv ‘honey bunch.’
Now Ed Murray ife another
And you’ll agree he’s not too old;
Now dear ladies you can’o miss it,
Cause on you he’ll spend the gold.
Henry Cook is still hoping
For those lovely parcel showers
There is still a chance to win him,
In the quiet evening hours.
Rice Page thinks he’s fated—
Go this day give him your hand
And on you, I’m sure he’ll lavish
Ail his coin and ‘Holt county land.’
But if you’re up against it
And don’t And one high or low,
Doc Enright will take your offer
If you bring along the dough.
Walter Duft is on the market
lie says he wants a chosen mate;
Nab him girls, this very moment,
Before It is forever late.
Fred Knop, you all know him,
Is about ten feet tall,
The girls can’t get their arms around
his neck
Nor propose to him at all.
Arnold Boediker, do not forget him;
Freeze to him this very hour—
He will make a model husband
Tho’ be looks a little sour.
