COWIN BRINGS SDIT.
The Celebrated Winch Divorce Suit
Assumes a New Phase.
MYNARD GETS A POSTOFTICE.
And Col. J. a. Draper Claim to Have
Already Been Commissioned to Kead
the Postal Cards-High School
Changes Local Notes.
Brings Suit for Attorney's Fees.
Gen. J. C. Cowin, the well-known
Omaha attorney, arrived in tbe city
last evening, and tbe train on which
the general arrived brought Seth F.
Winch, also of Omaba. It will be re
membered by readers of The Jockn al
that Mr. Winch several years ago com
menced divorce proceedings against
his wife in the district court of Cass
county. Mrs. Winch is a resident of
Providence, B. I., and it was tbe in
tention to obtain the divorce without
publicity. Service of the legal papers
upon Mrs. Winch was had by publica
tion in a newspaper at Weeping
Water, and the notice falling under
the eye of an acquaintance of Mrs.
Winch's a youDg man working in tbe
sewing machine factory at Weeping
Water the paper containing the notice
was sent to Mrs. Winch at Providence.
Mrs. Winch retained Attorney II aide
man and made preparations to contest
the case, and in course of time the
case was called in district court, and
after a rather exciting trial, a divorce
was granted to Mrs. Winch, together
with a generous slice of Seta's earthly
possessions. Two weeks afterward
Mr. Winch was married to another
woman at Council Bluffs.
During tbe contest in the courts Gen.
Cowin acted as counsel for Winch. and
personally conducted the case before
the district court. And now be wants
his pay some $2,400 and has com
menced an action to recover that
amount. The object of his visit to this
city was to obtain depositions from
parties here relative to the amount and
value of his services, and it is just
probable that when tbe litigation is at
an end Mr. Winch will conclude that a
Cass county divorce is a rather expen
sive affair.
A New Postoiflce at Mynard.
Intelligence was received in this city
today to the effect that the postal au
thorities had decided to establish a
postoffice at tbe town of Mynard, four
miles south of thin city on the line of
the Missouri Pacific. Daniel S. Draper,
one of Cass county's democratic war
horses, will be the postmaster, and he
has forwarded hi bond to Washing
ton and will have the office in running
order at an early date.
The estabiihment of a postoffice at
that .point will have the effect of de
creasing the receipts of tbe local office
to a certain extent, as nearly everyone
living in that neighborhood are pa
trons of tbe Plattimouth office.
A Vicious Son.
Last Sunday, says the Weeping
Water Eagle, the home of S. Obenal
ter was the scene of a desperate battle
between father and son. The facts as
near as can be ascertained are: that
young Obenalter was chastising one of
his younger brothers for some trifling
matter, when the father appeared on
the scene and iuterposed his objec
tions. This seemed to anger the brutal
boy, who left his little victim to chas
tise his parent for his interference.
When Simon saw him make a dash for
him with a club he picked up a chair
and held it in front of him. The boy
took (hold of tbe chair and pinioned
his father against the wall with it,
pounding him on the head in the mean
time with the club. The cries of the
old gentleman brought him assistance,
or we might be writing his obituary
instead of this notice. Ilia head is
demoralized from the effects of the
blows. The boy has left for parts un
known, while peace and Simon once
more rule the family mansion on the
Wabash. ;

Iowa Fanner Murdered.
Last night a man named James
Owens shot and killed Seneca Noble,
an old and influential farmer, living
about eight miles southeast of Ham
burg. It seems that James Owens
married Mr. Noble's daughter about
six months ago, much against the
father's wishes. Tbe union has never
been a happy one, they having
numerous quarrels. About a week ago
the young wife sought protection in
her father's house. Last night Owens
came to Noble's home to get bis wife,
but the father interfered in his daugh
ter's behalf, when Owens drew a re
volver and fired, the shot killing him
instantly. He then fired the second
shot, which took effect on Mr. Noble's
son, but not dangerously. Owens gave
himself up to the authorities.
They Are Not Pleased.
About two dozen of the bravest
warriors of tbe g. o. p. have a lusty
kick coming on the action of tbe sheriff
in appointing '"school boys" as dubbed
by tbe aforesaid warriors, to be bailiffs
during the present term of district
court. After talking republicanism
for years and working for the success
of the ticket twice a year it causes
them to feel very sad to be overlooked
when tbe plums are being distributed.
Monday morning before the opening of
court the usual crowd of faithful and
truly good were on hand looking out
for a soft snap with little work and
big pay accompaniments. And as a
matter of right and justice, beads of
families and tax-payers should have
the preference when public work is to
b given out.
Making More Room,
During the past few weeks the board
of education has been confronted with
a condition that requires additional
school room at the central building,
all the lower rooms being filled to their
full seating capacity. Now they have
decided to use the ball on the ground
floor for another school room for pri
mary grades, and are having it fitted
up with seats and laying a new floor.
Another teacher will be iequired to
preside over the new room.
March is going to be a cold and
stormy month if we are to believe
Weather Prophet Hicks, which, it is
safe to say, few people do. The weather
be assures us will be pleasant till tbe
6th, but from tbe 7th to the 11th
storm and tempest will rage. Within
24 hours of 6 p. m. on the 14th, storms
of marked energy will be passing the
central parts of the continent, heavy
easterly gales will rage on the Atlantic
coasts and a sweeping blizzardous
wave will bear down from north and
south. Thunder, rain and hail will
suddenly give place to extremes of
cold. Great cold will dominate most
parts of the northern hemisphere from
20th to 24th. The last regular storm
period of the month will be from 25th
to 29th. The month will end with gen
eral cold weather.

According to word received , by the
railroads, the ice has gon out of the
Platte and other western rivers, and
no damage has been done. Last year
when the ice went out it cost the rail
roads in Nebraska about $200,000 to re
pair tbe damage, the Union Pacific
alone suffering nearly $50,000 damage.
It will be a year Friday since the ice
went out of the Platte, sweeping away
the Columbus and other bridges, form
ing gorges and inundating thousands
of acres.

THAT NICARAGUA CANAL,.
If tbe United States is to go into the
Nicaragua canal business it should be
as the owner of tbe canal or not at all.
Representative Doolittle of Washing
ton is talking more sensibly than any
other man in public life just now as to
the duties, responsibilities and powers
of this government on the isthmus.
His contention that the United States
has the right to construct the canal
alone and that the exercise of that
right will not be resisted by any foreign
power is reasonable. His assertion
that it would be no sacrifice of the
principle of the Monroe doctrine if we
should allow any other power disposed
to do the work to go in and do it is
more open to question, but is worthy of
consideration.
The indications appear to be good
for the defeat of the Morgan bill mak
ing this government the guarantor of
i 100 ,000,000 of Nicaragua caial bonds.
The Doolittle proposition is much more
sensible. For $100,000,000 we could
build the canal and have it. Guaran
teeing the payment of a like amount in
bond , we could pay twice the cost of
the canal in principal, interest ai d
litigation and have nothing but an
added experience to that we have al
ready gained in Union Pacific.
The Scandinavian system of regu
lating the liquor traffic, known as tbe
Gothenburg systeu., is the next plan
that will be vigorously attempted in
the United States. Prohibition and
high license have each been tried in
different sections of the country, and
for brief periods, without finally solving
the liquor question. The Gothenburg
system is now likely to be tried, first
perhaps in Massachusetts. This sys
tem eliminates the possibility of per
sonal profit from tbe sale of liquor, and
throws many restrictions around it.
The income is used for various public
purposes, and the sale of liquor is under
the direct supervision of responsib'e
men of high character. Social reform
ers in every part of the country are
giving it close study with reference to
our American conditions. An ardent
believer in this system is Dr. K. R. L.
Gould, who is one of our foremost
students of social subjects, and who
last year went to Norway to make a
personal study of this system. Dr
Gould writes in the March number of
the Forum a definite explanation of
how it would work when applied to
American conditions.
