IJtforts of Thekln Sutler to Secure n
Divorce.
Tbe old divorce suit of Sailer against
Salter bas been transferred to another state
and the same old fight that has been going on
for four years will be renewed.
Octobers. 157 , Thekla Salter filed a peti
tion in the district court of this vounty ask
ing to be divorced from her husband , Mathias
Salter. Tbo case went upon the docket and
in due time was called for trial. The wife
asked the court to compel her husband to
turn over $1,000 alimony , besides paying her
t-Vj per mould. She also charged that
Mathias was a drunkard , a brute and hud
been choosing strange gods while he should
have been lingering at his own fireside. All
of these Mathias denied and with twenty
witnesses on hand proposed to prove that all
of the allegations were false.
Just about that limn a continuance was
granted and prosecution was dropped , but
the caie still appears upon the docket of the
district court.
Sailer now avers that last spring a prom-
mnnt citizen ot Chicago viiited relations in
this city and was smitten. He gazed upon
the charms of the fair Th kla and made up
his mind that sooner or later she must be his
own. The marriage with oatler stood in the
way of an early union between Thelka and
her Chicago lover , but it was another case
where love smiled at tbo locksmiths and a
scheme was planned. The woman was to
slip away to Chicago aud there secure the
coveted divorce. Mathias waited and
watched , but at last bo was caught with his
eyes closed. Last night his wife'started 1'or
the windy city , where she experts to meet
the man of her second choice. The riphtiul
nusband will , however , cot allow this kind of
love making to run along smoothly , for today
bo will board tbe tlyer and with money in bis
pocket will tight any attempt uoon tbe part
of bis wife to sever the oonds ot matrimony.

cannot rote for a democrat , 1 have decided to

tigated" the qualifications of the two candi
dates and there Is no doubt In my mind as to
the superior ability of Judge Post. I was in
Omaha a few days ao and talked with sev
eral ot the democratic members of the Doug

ton was a lawyer of very ordinary ability and
wholly until for the hish oflico to which he
aspires. I saw Edgerton in Lincoln last
winter and from my observation of his act
ions I was convinced that he was thrro as a
lobbyist ; and I do not think his persistent
haranguing and peddling badges is in keep
ing with the dignity that should characterize
n candidate for hign judicial honors. I shall
vote for the man wno nas announced for his

A F.\se ! Alarm.
A lady uptown wanted a Wejjman
piano. Her husband told her that as all
Wejrman pianos wore first-class .hero
was no need of poin to the ? tore , but
that she mipht just as well telephone to
Hayden Bros , for the' instrument to bo
delivered.
Hurriedly putting on her most impos
ing apj aranco she started out , but
being unused to the telephone she by
mistake turned in the fire alarm , the
wires of which had in some vray
become crossed with these of Hayden
Bros' , fire alarm , . . .and this brought
out the city hos company , the hook
and ladder , together with all the
fire extinguishing' life preserv
ing apparatus in town. The firemen
rlisnod up to the second lloor of Hayden
Bros" , store and commenced throwing1
Wegman pianos put of the window upon
the hard pavement below , rejnrdless of
life , liberty or pursuit of happiness.
By this time the chief of the fire de
partment arrived upon the scene and
seeingno fire the nearest approach tea
a fire being the picture of a cow that
kickud over the combustible milk at the
great Chicago conflagration repri
manded his men severely for such useless
destruction of property. One of the
Haydens. witnessing the discomfiture 01
the'nien was moved with pity toward them
and said. "That's all right , chief ; all we
have to do is to vipa the dust off from
these pianos. The Wegrann is never
knocked out of tune by a fall. These
pianos will stand a South American
errthquake or Dakota blizzard.1 This
set the people to crying because they
hadn't \Vegman pianos , and great was
the lamentations thereof.
Hiiydcn Bros. , taking compassion
upon the people , decided to reduce oricos
on Wogman pianos to 5150.00 under any
other standard piano made , also the
KiiTiball to SloO.OO. the Fisher to : S5.00 ,
other ? 4oO.OO pianos for ilST.oO , and so
on through the list.
The lacty ha * found out by this time
that she can't ue the town pump for a
telephone nor the tire alarm for a mes
senger bov , but she is now happy in the
thought that she has the best peano in
the neighborhood and her neighbors are
nappy , too. over the fact that their real
estate has advanced in value on account
of thib musical acquisition.
