IS KOT A VERY BAD RECORD
The Number of Diiorces Granted bj the
District Court of Cass County
in Five Years.
TWO-THIRDS OF APPLICANTS FEMALES
It is Not Sufficient, However, to Retard
Business In the Matrimonial Market
. It Holds Up Just the Same.
While there has not been as many
separations in Cass county under the
divorce laws of the state as there has
been in many other counties, yet the
records show that there has been
enough to put a damper on the njatrl
monial market just the same. Hut
from the records in the county judge's
office it seems that the divorce record
has but little effect upon those who
have made up their minds to make the
venture for "better or for worse."
The recordsof the district clerk from
March, l!O0, to February, l'JOti, shows
that there has been 8S petitions for di
vorces filed, of which number 01 were
tiled by women and the other 2(i by
men. Of the Gl petitions filed by wo
men 43 were granted and two are pend
ing; and of the 20 filed by men, 14 were
granted.
From March, 1U00 to 1SWI Don Cupid
was certainly taking a vacation, for
this was an extremely busy year In the
divorce court, there being 23 petitions
filed, or an average of nearly two each
month. Of these 1 petitions (17 be
ing filed by women) 10 were granted
as prayed for.
In the following year to March, 1902,
1 petition was granted of the 5 filed by
men, and 8 of the 11 petitions filed by
women.
In the year l'JOS to March, 1904,there
was a very notable decrease in the
number of petitions filed, of which II
were granted women, and ? of the 4
petitions filed granted men.
In this last year up to February,
l!0ti, 7 petitions were tiled by women
and '. by men, and of these have breti
granted and 1 Is yet to be tried.
Wedded Bliss.
The parsonage of St. Paul's Evan
gelical church was the sceneof a happy
t.ent Tuesday morning at ten
o'clock. In the presence of a few
friends of the contracting parties, Mr.
Fred G. Ohlenhausen and Mi.-.s Lyda
May Gath were joined in the holy
bondsof matrimony by the pastor.Bev.
Langhorst. After the ceremony the
bride and groom were driven to the
home of the parents of the latter,
where they will spend the day. The
bride is a most worthy young lady,
while the same can be said of Fred as
being a most worthy young man, and
the Journal wishes the happy couple
all the happiness this mundane sphere
affords. They will soon be at home In
rooms over the Hank of Cass County.
Among those who witnessed the nup
tial knot tied were the parents of the
groom, Mr. and Mrs. Evens, and Mr.
and Mrs. Dr. Schlldknecht.
Divorce Epidemic.
Our sister city of Nebraska City
seems to be greatly atllicted just now
with a divorce epidemic. No less than
ten divorce cases have been tiled in
the district court of Otoe county in
that many days. Some of them arc
people who have lived together fur
thirty or forty years. There Is some
thing radically wrong with our divorce
laws, and they should be changed so
that it would not be possible for either
husband or wife to secure a separation
upon the least pretext. The reason
for so many divorces Is simply because
they are so easily obtained. Ten di
vorce cases tiled In this short time
fully demonstrates this fact to a dead
moral certainty.
Successful Box Social.

MAIL WEIGHING HAS BEGUN
No. 41 Jhis Morning the First to Weigh
Out of Lincoln.
No. 41 on the Burlington weighed
Its mall when it left the Lincoln
terminal Monday morning. It was the
first to weigh out of Ltncoln. The
order to weigh mails stated that all
trains leaving terminals after 12:01
o'clock the morning of the twentieth
should weigh mails. By terminals the
postoflice department means where
cars start and end their runs. The
next train to weigh out of Lincoln
was No. 44 southbound this morning.
For several days a large number of
platform scales have been stored In
the local baggage room, and cars leav
ing here on their last trips before the
order became effective were supplied.
It Is not known how long mall weigh
ing will continue, but it Is known that
pay for carrying mails for fourjears
to come will be based on the result of
the weighing tests now in progress.
Leaving a terminal the entire
amount of mail loaded on a car is
weighed. At each station along the
road the amount of mail putolTand
amount taken in is weighed p.nd ac
counted for in separate columns. At
the end of the trip the in and out col
umus should balance, thus giving a
check on the accuracy of the weigh
ing. Lincoln Journal.

Midnight Prowlers.
About 2 'j clock Sunday night con
siderable excitement was caused at
(Jeorge Dovey's by the fact that some
suspicious characters were prowling
around the premises, and Hashing a
light at the windows. Mr. Dovey was
aroused from his slumbers and several
shots were tired, which frightened the

There was a large number of the gen

ACCIDENT AT THE JUNCTION
Eugene Sajer, a Burlington Brakeman,
Loses an Arm.
HIS RESIDENE IS IN CRESTON, IOWA
Has Been in the Employ of the Burlington
for Eleven Years.
Pacific Junction was the scene of an
other serious accident last night, In
which Eugene Sawyer, who was acting
as rear brakeman on Conductor J. F.
Lowry's train, had his right arm so
mangled that It became necessary to
amputate same between the elbow and
shoulder.
Mr. Lowry has charge of tho local
freight train between the Junction
and Creston, and It seems that while
his train was standing on one track
another train was passing. Mr. Sawyer
was standing or walking between the
two trains, and his clothing In some
manner was caught by one of the mov
ing cars and drew him closer to the
car, where he received such a Jolt that
lie fell, and in falling his right arm fell
across the track, resulting as above
tatcd.
As soon as possible the unfortunate
man was brought to this city and con
veyed to the otllces of the Burlington
physiciaH, Dr. T. P. Livingston, where
It was deemed necessary to amputate
the arm. After this was accomplished
Mr. Sawyer was conveyed to the Per
kins house, where he seems to be do
ing as well as could be expected under
the circumstances.
The unfortunate man has been a
faithful employe of the Burlington for
eleven years, and during that time has
been employed for weeks and months
as conductor on special freights during
the busy season. Ills home is in Cres
ton, la., where he has besides his wife
and two children, a widowed mother,
who makes her home with his family.
Conductor J. T. Lowry and several
other railroad men accompanied the
unfortunate man to thiscity.and they
deeply regret the serious accident to
their co-laborer. He Is a popular
young man, and being In the prime of
life(.'!l years of age) lid fair to rise
higher in his chosen occupation, when
this terrible accident came.
Mrs. Sawyer, the mother of the In
jured man, came in this morning in re
sponse to a telegram advising her of
the accident, and will remain at the
bedside of her son until all danger has
passed.
THE DEAL IS COMPLETED
Wherein Ike Pearlman Disposes cf His
Two Business Blocks on East
Main Street,
Some few months since the Journal
gave a short account of a big deal that
had been made wherein Ike Pearlman,
the well known furniture dealer, had
traded his two business blocks on
Main street, between Third and
Fourth, for a large body of land in
Antelope county. At that time the
trade was not fully completed from
the fact that no transfer of the prop
erty had been made.
Now we can state positively that
the trade Is fully completed, and Mr.
and Mrs. Israel Pearlman have trans
ferred the two blocks above mentioned
to Bertha and Fred Ostertog, of Ante
lope county, and these parties lure
turn have transfercd to Mr. and Mrs.
Pearlman 4m) acres of land in the
above named county. The considera
tion amounts to 17,000 tor the land,
and Mr. Pearlman put In the two
buildings at f 14.000.
Now that the transfer has been
made Mr. Pearlman Is very deslrlous
of closing out his stock of goods before
he gives up possession of the store
room occupied by him, and will sell
furniture, stoves, etc., cheaper almost
than cost in order to do so.
May Come to Terms.
It Is rumored that there Is a possi
bility of the city council and the Ne
braska Lighting company coming to
terms on the lighting question. The
Journal Is pleased to hear It, and hopes
that Plattsmouth's thoroughfares will
soon be graced with s nuc nlco arc
lights. The people demand lights and
they are not In favor of the city pay
ing more for them than they feel justi
lieilin paying. If the Nebraska Light
ing company fail in making the proper
terms there are parties here who will
furnish ilghtsat a cheaper rate than
they would be w illing to pay the old
company. And they are not going to
stand back much longer In giving
them a franchise to do so.
J. II. Bobbins, of Courtland, Neb.,
has submitted a proposition to the
citizens of Louisville for the erection
of a new roller mill at that place. A
new mill will prove a great Invest
ment for Louisville.
Merited Recognition.
We clip the following from the State
Journal: "The university seniors
elected class ortlcers for the last
semester of their course Monday
morning. The position of president,
which is considered the most Import
ant in the gift of the class during the
four years, went to K. D. Crltcs, of
Chadron. C. K. Yoder, of Topeka,
Ind., was chosen president of the
sophomore class. The chief Interest
which attached to the election of a
president of the second year class was
the fact that the successful candidate
would have the nomination of the

MAY GO AFTER CROWE JURY
Investigation of Some of the Members
Likely.
Omaha, Neb, Feb. he-Persistent
rumors, which County Attorney Sla
baugh w ould neither confirm or deny,
were lloatlng around the court house
today to the effect that an Investiga
tion of some of the members of the
Pat Crowe Jury would be made. It Is
understood the Investigation touches
two of them who are said to be close
friends of relatives of Crowe.
Persons who say they know what
they arc talking about arc responsible
for the statement that one member of
this jury, one of the two suspected, be
sides being a boon companion of Crowe
has kept company with a sister of Jim
Callahan, Crowe's alleged pal In the
Cudahy kidnaping. Nothing more
definite than this could lie learned.
'I have nothing to say," said County
Attorney Mabaugh when asked as to
the truth of the report.
Louis Basmussen, one of the jurors,
lias received a letter signed "Citizens'
Committee," advising him to leave
tho city on account of his verdict, lie
showed tho letter to other members of
the jury and they expressed consider
able Indignation that such measures
should be taken. The letter contained
no direct threat, but merely advised
Basmussen to get out of town.
Pat Crowe was arraigned in the dis
trict court at Council Bluffs this morn
ing on the charge ot highway robbery
of two street cars at the east end of
the Omaha-Council Blulls bridge the
night of July 2, last, and pleaded not
guilty. Attorneys Ritchie of Omaha
and Wadsworth of Council Bluffs were
present for the defendant. The affair
was perfunctory. Crowe gave no bail.
Advertising as a Remedy.
Whenever the business men of a
locality wake up to the fact that live
advertising, descriptive, price nuoting
advertising, Is the shortest, surest and
mot direct way to strike at the east
ern catalogue houses, they are on the
right track and are striking a winning
gait. When business men appreciate
the possibilities they have in their
home local papers for meeting cata
logue propositions and take advantage
of their opportunities they will be on
the right road. Supposing that the
w ide-awake merchants in a town rep
resenting a number of lines of trade,
those who realize and recognize that
they who would be free must them
selves strike the lirst blow, get to
getherand do business In a new and
up-to-date way with their local paper.
They can make a catalogue of every
issue with which to reach surrounding
trade. In addition to making their
own local catalogue in the columns of
their home paper, their advertising
and prices quoted will be accompanied
with the local news which no cata
loguc house can furnish and when you
get behind your local paper and give
It this kind of suprort, the paper will
be able to make Itself a power In ex
tending its Held of usefulness and
value. Lincoln Trade Review.
The Injured Brakeman.
The Journal Is pleased t learn that
Mr. K. L. Sawyer, the brakeman who
was Injured at Pacific Junction Mon
day i.lght, Is getting along nicely and
rested rcmsrkably well last night. In
referring to the Injured man, his home
paper, the Creston (Iowa) Advertiser
says: "F. L. Sawyer, of this city, was
injured at Pacific Junction Monday
evening, and lost his right arm, near
the shoulder, and the news of the ac
cident has caused a wave of sorrow
among tho many friends of tho young
man In this city. There Is probably
no man In the employ of the railroad
company who has a larger circle of
friends In Creston, and the expressions
of regret which have been heard In
this city this morning are abundant
evidence of the fact that '(iene num
bers his friends by the hundreds."

Mrs. Schroeder, while in the father
land and when but a child, united
with t lie (icrman Lutheran church,
and during her w hole life ever remain-
mained a devout, faithful member of
that denomination. I for nature most
beautifully typllled the highest chris
tian character. Most generous In dis
position, benevolent and sympathetic,
no worthy object of charity ever ap
pealed to her hi vain. She was of that
typeof girlhood and womanhood which
so silently attracts friends and forms
friendships which are so seldom brok
en. Her devotion to and love for her
two little step-daughters, Anna Mary
and Dorothy C, whose care, comfort
and training she assumed on Iter mar
riage to Mr. Schluntz, and when only
seventeen years old, fully attests her
noble hearted womanhood. These lit
tle girls she carefully reared to woman
hood. The elder married Solomon
Dewey, and for a number of years re
sided at Hay Springs, Neb. The other,
Dorothy C, married one, James B.
Filbert, and to this union two child
ren were born Florence A. and An
gela J. Their mother, after having
been deserted by her husband, died at
Ottawa, Kan., In 18tH. Again were
two little Innocent, helpless waifs left
motherless, and in this case, homeless
and among strangers. But they were
not friendless.
Mrs. Schroeder, the subject of tills
sketch, and step-grandmother of these
litt le girls, learneil of their condition.
Promptly she went toottawa, brought
the children from among strangers to
her home at Cedar Creek: was appoint
ed their guardian, thus giving her com
plete control and custody of their per
sons and property, tho latter they In
herited from their mother. Tlie.se
children remained In the Schroeder
home undisturbed until 1 !:!, when the
father commenced an action before
Judge Chapman for their possession
Mrs. Schroeder and husband put up a
strong tight for tho little girls and
won. Filbert carried the case to the
supreme court, where he was again de
feated and the children left with Mrs,
Schroeder and her husband. Again
about a year later, Filbert tried lor a
second time to secure possession of
these little girls. Judge Ambrose of
Omaha tried the case and Filbert won.
Prompted by strong affection for the
children, as well as what she lielleved
for their lust Interests, with a Spartan
mother courage, Mrs. Schroeder with
her husband carried the case to the
supreme court, where on September
Is, bin, Judge Ambrose was reversed
and the custody of the Filbert child
ren awarded to Mrs. Schroeder and
her husband, with whom they re
mained afterward undisturbed by a
seemingly unnatural father.
Beautiful, noble example of tlie high

so heartlessly deserted them. Twice

was hers.
No wonder, then, that two little

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE
Band of Four Hundred Omaha Women Cen
sure the Pat Crowe Jury.
More than -li of the most promin
ent women In Omaha at a meeting last
Monday afternoon adopted resolut ions
protesting against the verdict In tho
case of Pat Crowe, w ho was last week
acquitted of the charge of robbing K.
A. Cudahy of i",(MH) through the kid
naping of the latter's son live years ago.
This is said to be the preliminary to a
general mass meeting of citizens to
take similar action. The resolutions
arc as follows:
"Whereas, The verdict of tlie Jury
In the late criminal trial known as tho
Cudahy kidnaping case has aroused
the indignation of the lawabiding cit
izens of Omana, and
"Whereas, Our silence may be In
terpreted as assent.
"lie It the sense of Ibis meeting that
we express In st rongest terms our dis
approval of such a verdict and our as
tonishment, that under tlie laws of
this great state there could be such a
miscarriage of justice, and, further
more, that we declare ourselves ready
to co-operate with other organizations
of that city which may desire, for the
public good to enter a protest against
tlie evident Injustice done In this case."
Tlie resolutions are signed by Mrs.
W. P. Harford, Mrs. K. W. Nash, Mrs.
C. II. Herring, Mrs. Ben (lallaghcr,
Mrs. J. F. Bourn and Miss F. M. Mc
Cartney. Tlie meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Maryi. Andrews, president of
the Omaha Woman's club, and the
principal addresses were made by Mrs.
Harford, Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Herring.
Tlie better class of men were blamed
for the alleged Incompetency of Juries,
because they shirk the responsibility
of Jury duty.
