The charge of bigamy filed against

for the annulment of the marriage in

unsound mind at the time he was mar
ried to Miss Gorman. This decree, to
gether with the fact that J. II. Gorman,
father of the girl, has declined to push
the case after the marriage was dissolved
prompted Mr. Ross to dismiss the suit,
as there would have been but little
chance of conviction under such circum
stances. Evans has been in jail here
since he was brought back from Ogdcn,
but he was released Friday.

The farmers all feel jubilant over the
bumper corn crop we are 'going to have
all over this part of Nebraska. And

it grew too tall.

One day last week hunters shot a fine
steer which belonged to S. R. Tedford
who lives on one of the Rabeler farms

The bullet entered the brain through

hunters do not exercise more care.
Ed Gross, a farm band employed by
Fred Herman, living three miles east of
here, committed suicide yesterday after
noon at about one o'clock. Gross
brought Mr. Herman to town in the
morning and the latter boarded the
early passenger for Albion to take in the
fair. During the forenoon Gross went
to various pieces about town and settled
several small bills. He returned home
about noon, partook of a hearty dinner
and appeared in excellent spirits, even
laughing and joking more than usual.
He went out after dinner but soon re
turned to the house and took the shot
gun with him. A few minutes later he
was found dead on the platform of the
well with his face blown all to pieces.
The coroner was called but as tho evi
dence was so plain he deemed it un-
necessaiy to come up and hold an in
quest. A search revealed a note on the
young man's person which read: "Notice
to my father. You may think that I urn
a fool for doing this but I think it best.
I do not blame anybody for it." The
rest of the note was written in Bohemian
and concerned the disposal of bis horse
and $35 in money which he had coming
from Mr. Herman. Gross was about 24
years old and was engaged to be mar
ried this fall to Mrs. Emma Vasek. His
parents live on a farm southeast of
Clarkson. So far as is known there is
no apparent cause for the young man's
rash act.
FUNERAL COSTUMES.
Their Extravagance Curbed by Law at
One Time In England.
Sumptuary mourning laws wore for
merly found necessary In England
to restrict the extravagance of the no
bility and their Imitators in the mat
ter of funeral costume. At the end of
the fifteenth century it was laid down
that dukes, marquises und archbishops
should be allowed sixteen yards of
cloth for their gowns, 'sloppes"
(mourning cassocks) and mantles; earls
fourteen, viscounts twelve, barons
eight, knights six and all persons of in
ferior degree only two. Hoods were
forbidden to all except those above the
rank of esquire of the king's house
hold. In the following century Margaret,
countess of Richmond, mother of Hen
ry VIL, Issued an ordinance for the
"reformation of apparel for great es
tates of women In tyme of mourn
ings.' So it seems that men and wom
en have met in the extravagance of
sorrow.
Even 200 years ago London trades
men found that court mourning seri
ously affected their business. Addison
relates that at n tavern be often met a
man whom be took for an ardent and
eccentric royalist Every time this
man looked through the Gazette be ex
claimed. 'Thank God, all the reigning
families of Europe are well." Occa
sionally be would vary this formula
by making reassuring remarks respect
ing the health of British royalists. Aft
er some time Addison discovered that
this universal royalist was a colored
silk merchant, who never made a bar
gain without Inserting In the agree
ment, "All this will take place as long
as no royal personage dies in the in
terval." London Chronicle.
MENTAL INFLUENCES.
The State of the Mind Has a Direct
Effect Upon the Body.
A good deal is said in these days
about the effect of mind on matter In
the way of the cure of disease, but
less is heard about mental influences
an a cause of bodily ills, yet it is an
old truth that the statc"of mind has a
direct effect on the body. The gloom
nnd depression caused by worry and
anxiety create a morbid condition of
the physical system. It is impossible
to feel well physically when the mind
nnd snlrits are downcast. The blood
does not circulate properly, appetite
fails, the bead aches, and If these mor
bid conditions continue more deep
seated aliments are likely to arise, and
cancer may be one of them.
With many persons a fit of anger Is
followed br an attack of indigestion.
Excitement destroys the appetite, bad
news creates nausea, fright causes
folntness. and so on. Violent or de
pressing emotions always disturb the
equilibrium of body and mind alike.
This being the case, it Is inevitable
that when these emotions often recur
or become continuous serious physical
results will follow. The obvious les
son is, then, that mental serenity tends
to health Is, In fact, an essential
element of health and that instead of
iTCnrt'njr to mind cures" after the
health is broken It is wise to preserve
the serenity as a preventive and safe
guard against disease. lnuianapoiis
