THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1002. PACKERS HAVE AGREEMENT "Why Meat Price Advance Regardless of Cost of Lire 8tock. NGURES TO SHOW PROFITS OF COMBINE 4, . ,, Eillmain Indicate that Parker Get Aboat Tea Dollars for Kllllaa;. Dreaalaaj aad Handling ' F.acb teer Bo far a can be lerned the '"meat trut" a It exist lex-ally amount to an agree ment between the packer aa to the price of meat and the method of handling the busi ness between the packing homes and the retail dealer. There ti no middleman in the dealing! between the men who kill the anlmala and the men who aell the meat to the consumer. The local dealer purchases direct from the packing houses and the meat la delivered dally. All sale are made oa the bade of weekly payment, the price being uniform for each grade. There are, however, different grades of meats, so that carcass beef may be quoted from 9 to 12 cents a pound and the retail price will vary with the quality of the meat. It la claimed that one of the moat disagreeable things about the combination Is that It quotes dif ferent prices In different cities, and that while the pries In any town will be uni form the price at Omaha will be higher than the price made to dealers In smaller towna. All bills agalnat local dealers are pay able on Monday following the Bale. All Jdealers who fall to pay. on demand are voted and at a meeting of collectors held on Wednesday at the office of one of the com panies In South Omaha lists are made of the delinquents, each company being sup piled with ona of these lists. From that time the man on the Hat Is required to pay cash on delivery for hla goods until he has settled the account for which be was re ported. Cash Basis Justified. The third time the name of a dealer goes on the list of those who fall to pay, that dealer la forever barred from buying on credit from any of the parties to the agree ment. Buch a condition has forced several small abopa out of business, but It does not bring much complaint on the part of the average dealer, one of whom eays: "The meat business should be a cash bus lness from start to finish. It Is so far as the packer la concerned at thla time. When he buya a bunch of cattle he must pay the cash to the farmer or the commission man before the stock is delivered. When the meat la ready for the market he insists upon the dealer paying cash within a week. This Is as It should be, but then comes the trouble. The average meat dealer will trust his customers from thirty days to eternity and the profits are so small on meat, at this time especially, tbat the failure of two or three customers to meet their obligations promptly will cause him to fall. If the local dealer will us the same Judgment as that shown by the packer who kills and the man who sella to bim there would be few failures and the price of meat might not be o high in some of' the shops." Profit to the Packers. It has been ' claimed tbat at present prices packers ars losing- money on their products, the persons making this claim taking the average price of the wholesale market and tb average price of cattle and allowing the usual amount, 45 per cent of (be weight of the animal, for loss In dress ing. They say that the price of the dressed beef will not more than equal the price of tb steer on the. hoot. The price of steers at South Omaha Saturday waa $6.40 per 100 pounda for prime stock, which la quoted at about 12 cents per pound In carcaa. The coat of en 800-pound ateer to the packer would be 251.20, and hla return from the retail dealer about $52.80. In addition to the profit on tb sale of the carcass the packer makes a profit which amounts to more on the sale of the by-products. This has been estimated to be about $9 per car cass, the figures being: Brains, 1V lbs. at 8c $ .12 Tongue 40 Heart 21 Uver, 12 lbs. at 6c per lb 72 Kldneya 07 Bweetbreada AO Bladdera 26 "Casings," from which sausage Is made and sold at 10c per lb., about 20 lbs.... 2.00 . tilde, 60 Iba. at 6c per lb 3 04 Tall' , 07 Caul fat, used In oleomargarine, 7 lbs. at 6c per lb 42 But, used in compound lard, 12 lbs. at 6c per lb 60 Totals $8.45 Tbes figures do not Include tb profit re ceived from the sale of the bones, tb hoofs and horns and the other parts of the animal which are used in the manufacture of fer tiliser, so that the total of $2 per carcass la considered conservative. No Proaeeatlon Here. Speaking of the proposed prosecution of the beef trust 8. R. Rush, assistant district attorney, aald: "This office has received no Instructions from Waahlngton to toks any step against the trust. We understand that such orders have been received by th attorney for tha United Statea at Kansas City and at Chicago, and it is probable that tb government will make teat cases at those point and then proceed agalnat the Nebraska Institutions If the cases ar suc cessful." Looal meat dealers say that the higher price baa had little effect on the rash re ceipts, but has curtailed the volume of business and haa Increased the 'demand for cheaper cuta and grades of meat. Tbe high prlc of meat haa Increased the demand for fish, canned flah and eggs, so that the mar ket on these provisions aa well aa on poul try, la firm, with alight advances on the part of tb retail dealers.

Candidacy Polk County Republican: Blnce It has become appsrent the present governor will be defeated for renomlnatlon. th woods are full of men who ar anxious to fill his hoes. North Nebraska Eagle: Regardless of the fear of Bartleylsm or fuslonlsm, gubernatorial timber Is springing up over the stste Ilk mushrooms. There are some pretty good men among them. Home Record: Governor Savage Is un derstood to be threatening railroad cor porations with an extra session unless their forces support blm. That will not nomi nate him, and would defeat him if nomi nated. Elm Creek Beacon: Savage will use all the leverage on the railroads that he can to secure his renomlnatlon. It's no us. The railroads do not like to be coerced, and If be was nominated he would be defeated by any candidate by petition. Savage had better retire. Norfolk News: It would be fun to have a volume of the compiled excuses of Gov ernor Savage's friends when they attempt to explain tbe situation to him after the republican state convention has met Probably they will be wise beforehand and keep their names oft tbe delegation from their county. Pawnee Chief: According to Governor Savage Bartley Is soon going to turn over $181,000 of th money he embexzled from the state. We hope ao, Mr. Ravage, and we also hope he will not stop at that, but will return a few hundred thousand more that waa missing from tbe strong-box when he was checked out of office. Aurora Republican: Tha fight of the country press against Governor Savage and Bartleylsm has at least don one good thing. It has brought out some mighty good, squar, honest men as candidate for office thla fall. At the rat good candi dates are coming In, It will be difficult work to put up anything but a good ticket. Orand Island Independent: If It I really true that Governor 8avage threatens to call an extra seeslon of the legislature for the purpose of psssing a new revenue law, if he i dot given a certificate of nomination by tbe republican convention, It would simply be an additional Inducement to the repub licans of the state If such were needed to nominate some other man, soma new, strong man. Kearney Hub: Th Orand Island Inde pendent recalls the following statement made by Governor Savage when he first paroled Bartley: "If he does what I ask him to do I will let him out of the peni tentiary; but if be does not, then he will have to go back." He went back on the demand of the republican atat convention. The rest of the atory la familiar to every one In Nebraaka. Alliance Time: All of the most talked of candidates for the republican guberna torial nomination live within 100 miles or less of the Missouri river. Why cannot tb west furnish a candidate? 8urely there ar men of ability, brains and In tegrity In the west as well aa In the eaat. We are surprised that Buffalo county, with all It enterprise and ambition, has not been heard from befor this. North Platte Tribune: The list of pos sible gubernatorial candidate la growing with such alarming rapidity that th num-' bar tbreatena to be almoat a great aa th delegate In tha convention, and Uncle Ezra and Brother Joe wink their eyes, punch each other in the rtba and say the more candidates the greater th chances of Exra slipping In. How many of the announced candidates ar brought out in the interest of Ex and Joe? Tork Republican: St. Bartley went to Denver. It Is said that he gave It out that he waa going some place else. Shortly after Redeemer Savage went to Denver. It Is said that he gave It out that he waa going aome place else. ' By accident, of course, they mat In Denver. In a short time the Denver papers were out with articles describing the big mining deal on foot, with the name of Bartlage and Savvey among th prominent promot- the afternoon, anatcbed her hatchet from th tabl and rushed downstair and across to th "Joint." A crowd quickly gathered and Mrs. Na tion first begged pleadingly with tha bar tender, George Hit, to let her smash tb place. Not receiving hla consent, aba then beieeched him to abandon tb path to hell. This being also of no visible avail, Mrs. Natloa delivered to th assembled gather ing an Invective against drinking, using her hatchet as a frequent high algn. Meanwhile men drank at tha bar and a few of them entered Into wordy conflict with her. In th matter of argument, how ever, Mrs. Nation had no trouble In putting all comers down and out one by one. She visited vral other saloons during th afternoon. At T:48 so left ever the Illinois Central for Rockford, III., where ahe will lecture Tuesday night. She will be buay In Illlnola and Michigan till May 2. when ah returns to Kansas tor trial on charges of destruction of property and houaebreaklng. "I shall go befor tbat man. Judge Hazen, whom I always call 'Tour Dishonor' In court. He will send m to Jail and I shall serv Mm. I am now planning a mission to ba built In Kansss City for ths benefit of these who have been injured In th liquor traffic." TWENTY THOUSAND NICKELS Wbat Steven HUI Wants Street Car Company- ta Pay Over ta Him. Steven Hill has had a falling out with th Omaha Street Hallway company as a result of a throwing off. Two of th com pany's employs wr th thrower and 8tvn th throw. Now he ha petitioned the county court tor $1,000 Judgment. Aa 8tvn relate It. th Incident oc curred January 25 laat, when he waa rid ing over to South Omaha to engage In th peaceful occupation of doing a day'a work. He allege that ba paid hla tare when b first climbed aboard, but that when they reached Twenty-flrat and Vinton streets th conductor "roughly and discourteously" de manded tar, assarting "loudly, rudely and In Insulting manner" that he hadn't pre viously produced. Steven' narrative then reaches th climax of th Incident, tor b aver thst when he "courteously reminded" the conductor that he had paid, the latter called the motcrman to hla assistance and th two together threw Steven far out to ward th rising sun and a atoa curbing. HI eolUr waa removed in th melee, ha aays, and hla coat, shirt, hat. dignity and peace of mind aad body ao disturbed that it will cost th $1,000 asked to make it right with him. Indigestion I th direct caus of dl.-aaa that kills thousands of persons annually. Stop ths trouble at th start with a little PRICKLY ASH BITTERS: it strengthens th stomach and aid digestion. of Governor Savage era. On of th papers explained the peculiar relations between the grest promoter and the renowej peculator, and remarked that it could see aa far through a millstone as anybody. That ta a safe osttlon, because, as many people are no doubt aware, nobody can see through a millstone at all, unless there should hap pea to be a hole In It. Kearney Hub: In Custer county, there will be a conteat between Governor Savage and Senator Currle, the latter wanting a delegation for congress, tbe former for governor. There ought not to be any ques tion as to the result, and there is no reason to believe that If Currle should get his delegation any particle of his Influence would be loaned to renominate the present incumbent of the governor' office. Wauaa Eagle-Herald: Governor Savage still Insists that he is In the fight for the republican nomination tor governor. He certainly Is a "blind robin" If he cannot see his finish on the wall at this time. Savage doesn't atand a ghost of a show for the plsce and It would be well It he stepped aside altogether. Savage, as gov ernor, Is only an accident, and the good people of the state have certainly bsd enough of his work since he becsme gov ernor. Superior Journal: Governor Savage' threatened war on the railroad Is a per sonal affair. If started it will b to give the railroads trouble and get revenge. But there would not be any great kick made If th falling out of the governor and his railroad friends resulted In making the rail roads pay their just proportion of the taxes. Governor Savage ha done the state of Ne braska and his party enough evil. We would be glad to see blm switch onto the right track, even though his motive were nothing higher than pique. Auburn Granger: Since Mr. Stowell of tb Post dreamed that Joseph Bartley rented a farm and engaged In tha lucrative bualness of raialng corn, hogs, etc, and In one year mad so much money that he waa abls to pay back every cent belonging to tbe state, with Interest and compound in terest, ever since that time some of the friends of Governor Savage have been day dreaming and telling tbat Bartley Is going to put it back, notwithstanding the gover nor says he haa no reason to hope that hs will do ao, and that he never intimated tbat he expected the money would be re turned. Blooming-ton Advocate: In a recent in tervlew Governor 8avage Is reported to have said that he was proud of the fact tbat he pardoned ex-State Treasurer Bart ley. Well, suppose he Is, the governor ought not to do a thing he is ashamed of and no person la looking for blm to repent bis act. That'a one of the reaaona why Savage will fall to be governor any more. The people are not In accord with him in thla act. They do not believe that In the pardon justice haa been done or that any good results will accrue to the stats there from, and the more the governor climbs upon the housetops and reports that he is glad that he did what he did, the less admirers he will have In th state. Tllden Cltlxen: Th dally newspapera quote Ezra P. Savage aa atlll speaking confidently of hla prospect for nomination for governor by the next republican con vention. If tha delegates to tbat con vention are so lost to all eelf-respect aa to thus stultify themselves ' It will, be time for a radical reorganization bf th repub lican party In Nebraaka. Republicans of this state have too long followed their lead ers blindly and without reasoning, but the happenings of the last few years ought to open their eyea to actual condltiona and lead the rank and file to the very sensible resolution of ignoring every man known to be in any manner connected with Joe Bartley, either as treasurer, a criminal or a pardoned convict. Scotts Bluff Republican: It Is now cer tain that all the state officers will be before the republican state convention for renoml natlon when it convenes In June. With the exception of Savage, the Republican does not know of any reason why they should not ba renominated and re-elected. They have certainly conducted 'th affair of the atat in an economical and business like manner .and should receive the united PLANS FOR PALATIAL HOME Magnificent Featnrei of House to Ba Built by 0. A. Joeljn. OLD ENGLISH GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE Spanish Mahogany Dominant In tbe Interior Finishing Oval Formed Dining Hall to Open oa Large Porch. Th plan for George A. Joalyn'a $100,000 residence, to be erected on two blocks of ground between Davenport and Cass, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets, were filed yesterday tor approval of the building Inspector.. This, when completed, will be tbe most palatial home In Omaha. With a ground plan of 70x90 feet, exclusive of porches, It will b built of SUverdale llme- I stone of light buff color and will abound tn tbe embattled towers and massive arches which characterize its architecture as the old English gothlc style. It will stand well back from tbe streets. In grounds em bellished with shade treea, shrubbery, stat uary and fountalna. As to outbuildings, there will be a stable three atorlea high, following In material and general line the styl of th residence; also a palm bouse, which will connect with tha conservatory by means of a covered avenue. Tbe plans were drawn by John McDonald, architect. Tbe basement will Include the following: A wine room, blllard room, bowling alley, smoking room and laundry. Arrangement of Mala Floor. Entrance to th first and main Boor from th carriage driveway ia through a porta eochere, which opens into th vestibule. Thla vestibule is to be finished in marbl walnacotlng, with mosaic walls. Then come th main reception hall, which will be finished in Spanish mahogany, and Span lib mahogany, by tha way, seems to be th dominant feature of th intericr fin ishing. It is found in nearly all of th principal rooms. Tb dining room I on of th exception t thl rule. It 1 a large, high-vaulted, airy room, circular or oval In form, to be finished tn quarter sawed oak. It open upon an elaborate porch with gotble columns. Tha accessaries to th dining room ar th kitchen, 16x12 fret, and a refrigerator room. Th morning room will ba finished la quarter-aawed whit oak and lb library in Spanish mahogany, aa will th den be hind th library. Th conservatory coai- j niands a north aad west view and overlook the palm house. Th drawing room, wh.ci I 21xl( feet in Hie, will be flnlahed In whit poplar. Th aervanta' dining room eoncludt thla Inventory of tha Brat floir. On th second Boor ar four large cham bers, with Individual bathroom and draw support of the party. Aa for Savage, If be haa any respect for the party he will not come before the convention. We have been patiently waiting to hear of his withdrawal from the race. But aa he haa not. It 1 time for blm to "go 'way back and sit down," for he Is only courting defeat and disappointment for himself and friends, and Is also endangering the election of the nominee, by staying In the field. The fight on governor will be a bard on at best, oa account of hla (Savage's) action In tbe Bartley pardon,, and he should no longer endanger the election of a republican by being a candidate. Grand Island Independent: The result of the county republican convention up in big Custer will be looked forward to with more than the usual Interest. Custer la Savage's " own county, or rather, home county. The republican press up there has been aa de cidedly opposed to 8avage, since he de livered Bartley from th greenhouse of the penitentiary, aa have the journal of that party in other countlea. Furthermore, Senator Currle lives up there and Is an active candidate for congresa from the Sixth district, which is regarded aa pretty aurely republican thla fall. Custer doesn't want both the congressman and the gov ernor, and, Currle and Savage both wanting control of the delegation, it looks as "If things might be doing" when tha force meet to decide. A between Currle for congresa and Savage for governor there ought to be nb question as to the outcome If Custer would retain the good reputation It has secured In the last few elections by wiping out Its fusion "reform" majorities. Columbus Telegrarot The managers of Governor Savage's literary bureau are out with a threat, directed- against th grest rorporationa. In fine the decree reads that unless the corporatlona fall into line In behalf of the governor and secure for him a renomlnatlon he will call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of enact ing a new revenue law, calculated to make the railroads and other corporations pay a fair share of taxea. For the good of the state the Telegram would like to see the threat successfully executed. But there Is no hope. Even though a special session should be called, what might tbe public expect from auch hands? The record shows that the members of the present legists ture, or a safe majority, of them, are the pliant tools of the corporations, and might reasonably be depended upon to enact juat such a revenue law as the railroad po litical managera might . recommend. But the agitation for a new revenue law will bear good fruit. It will some day lead to the election of a. legislature whose majority will be solemnly pledged to enact a revenue law which will Insure the taxa tion of railroad property In harmony with tbe tax levied against the homes of th people. Wlsner Free Press: . Governor Savage, It is alleged, will spring a surprise along about June 1, to the discomfiture of the critics of hla executive Judgment and honor. If the governor ha any leadplpe cinch whereby he can ' wring $200,000 of stolen state money from Bartley or his frlenda we see no, reason for' waiting until June 1 to do It. Under th governor's averment that the republican party is. big enough to do justice and bring restitution, o ought he to maintain hla magnanimity and good sense under the fire, of the ,. many who do not consider hi a creditable transaction in the light of Just lc or good 'for the interests .of tb republican party and hot sulk like' a achool boy until. June lJust to getven." Because a great many wannot belteve that It waa better to. let Bartley out and get some money back, and raised a dickens of a storm about It, la -no excuse for the governor waiting to make, the restitution, if he can. Ever since tha parol. f Bartley Governor Savage ba held out the idea that thl would be don. Tb criminal 1 shame lessly hoisting himself., by thl allmy pedestsl Into political prominence. If he can restore any of the lost funds he strould do it anu "go way back and alt down." If it was hi misfortune, and not hi fault the future will divulge. If Bartley was ever able t make restitution and wa prevented by the prosecutions of an over sealoua "reform" party, using him for a leverage to break into the offices, now that he la at liberty he certainly can do some thing to show his sincerity and clinch the argument by deed. ing room, a sewing room and housekeeper's room. The main hall on thla floor will ba finished In Spanish mahogany. Th third floor Is occupied very largely by an amusement hall, suitable for a ball room, and by the aervanta' quarters. These are besutiful rooms, lighted by high corner windows of curved glass.' The mansion,, when completed, will Im press one with Its appearance of maaslve ness and atrength, a quality to which the tower contribute not a little. Of these there are two, on at tha southeast corner and another at the northeaat corner. Each Is five aorles high wttb the basement, and the tops ar Indented after the styl of th ancient csstles. It will be as nearly fire proof aa ia possible In this kind of a struc ture. E. O. Hamilton, the contractor, ta now at work on th foundations. COLD BLAST FROM HIS WIFE anm Wbat C. E.

SOME FAST TRACK LAYING Work of Placing Heavy Baili on Elkhora Goes On Bapidly. MILE A DAY IS THE RECORD TO DATE Baralng Oat of Bridge oa taloa Pa viae, Ittar Silver Creek, Delay Eaat Boaad Pa eager fevea Hears. For three weeks paat 300 men have been working on tbe main line of the Fremont, Klkhorn aV Missouri Valley railroad west of Stanton, Neb., relaying It with standard steel rails of the aeventy-two-pound alse. No Information concerning this work lesked out. however, till yesterday, when the gangs started In on the fourth week after having completed twenty miles of tha ninety they will rebuild. Elkhorn operating officials are proud of the progress which has been made. Said General Superintendent Hughes: "We have laid a mile a day eo far, which Includes not only th actual setting of the steel, but entire new ballasting with gravel. We will rebuild mora of the main line thla year than In any year since we began tbe substitution four years ago, and will relay almoat as much aa tha entire four years' previous work haa accomplished. "The reason tor this especial effort I tbat we need tbe rail on thl trackage at pre net for use on the Verdigris extension. They are sixty-pound rails, plenty heavy enough for that line. Th ninety mllea of them which w will tear up on the main line will easily furnish seventy miles neces sary for the Boyd county line. "Thla new trackage will extend from Stanton west to O'Neill, and when It I completed tbe entire line from Missouri Valley to O'Neill will be laid with thl heavy steel, 191 mllea In all. The portion from Missouri Valley to Stanton has been put down section by section each year alnce 1897. "Thla piece of track which we are relay ing hs been lying on tb prairie, on dirt ballast. Nebraska aoll la peculiarly adapted to ballasting and Is really good enough. That la because of lta dry. hard clay composition, which make It solid and firm. But we will put gravel under our heavy track. On the Verdigris extension we will lay th track on the prairie." Bridge Barna Oat. The burning out of a small bridge on th Union Pacific main line In Platte county early yesterday morning coused aome delay in passenger and freight traffic. Tbe bridge was fifty feet long and Is three miles east of Silver Creek, a small station 109 mile west of Omaha, between Columbua and Cen tral City. Passenger train No. 4, eaitbound from Ogden. passes Silver Creek at 4:19 tn th morning and was caught there by tbe gap in the Una. It was thought at first that it would take till late afternoon to rebuild the bridge and there waa talk of aendlng No. 4 around on the Burlington to Omaha via Lincoln. Later, however, it waa aeen tbat the repairs were not such a great task and at 11 o'clock tb Una was opened and No. 4 sent oa It reached Omaha at I o'clock yesterday afternoon, aeven hours late. No westbound tralna were delayed. Tb Overland flyer. No. 1, found an open track by the time it waa ready to pass 811ver Creek at 12:31 yeaterday afternoon. The fast mall. No. 101, waa similarly treated at 12:10. A few freight tralna were caught and held for different pertoda of time. Changea la Burlington Time.

While tha . order received yesterday from Washington regarding the assignment of troop t6 the Department of th Missouri, as published In telegraphic dispatches last week, specify that In caaa of necessity old Fort Omaba may ba put Into use by the department for troop tbera la a feeling at headquarters that thl will not be done. There will be no necessity for additional space until late In tb fall, aa a battalion of tb regiment at Crook will be on th rifle range for several montha. The two companies of the regiment at Fort Niobrara will be brought to Crook to make room for troop to arrive, but until the regiment Is recruited to greater atrength all can be accommodated at that post. When tha number becomea too great for tha build ings It Is believed that the regimental com mander will prefer to put tha surplus un der canvas at that post rather than to send them to Fort Omaha, where there ar no building which caa ba uaed aa barracks.

REFUSES DIVORCE DECREE TO D0NAH00S t'onrt Xot Dlapnseil to 'As'lst Floraa In Crratlnar Strife and Break Ins l p Families (sue to Be Appealed. "It !a a part of my religious belief that God would rather see a happy household than anything else on earth," declared Judge Keysor yesterday morning, when he declined to grant Laura Donahoo, a Flgglte, divorce from Albert Donahoo, and dis missed the case at the defendant' cost. The Judge confessed to having taken more than uaual Interest In the rase and In giv ing his decision he discussed the religious phase of It quite fully, saying: "I don't think Mrs. Donahoo came Into this case entirely blameless. A wife haa the right to worship God in her own way, but not to the disturbance of her family. If she felt it waa her duty to shout she should have gone to her place of worship and shouted, but about the home she should, like every other member of a household, respect the wishes and peace of the others. I believe she has been too largely moved by a strong religious Influ ence that is not so respectful of the com fort and peaoe of others as society has come to demand. "She should bring up her children and ahe should go home to do ao. Name Spirit Move Until. "Her husband struck her. It may be tru. but th 'madness' that Influenced him wai in this cai very nearly the same thing at the 'spirit' thnt moved her to abuse anil berate him publicly. I cannot give Mrs. Donahoo divorce and the children, for even ahould I give her all her husband patri mony of $11,000 It would still b Inefficient to sustain her and provide for the proper rearing of the children untll'they Br of age. Nor can I give It to a husband who has struck his wife, no matter what the provocation may have been. I shall, there fore, dismiss the case at defendant's oat. "If the Flggs wish to create strife and break up families I suppose they are at liberty to try, but I am not disposed to asit them. I don't think I ought to take from Mr. Donahoo the privilege of soma time returning to her husband, taking her children In her arm and again becoming a good wife and mother. If ahe (till declines to do this after a lapse of two or three yeara Mr. Donahoo might then aue on the ground of abandonment, which would be a very good ground." Derision Not Wholly la tlsfaetnry. The decision wa not wholly aatlafactory to the attorney, but they concede that It may eventually bring about a reconciliation of th principal, which they would b glad to see. Mrs. Donahoo aald she Is willing now to go back to her husband In tbelr home at Gretna if he will cease his "per secution." Her husband answer that he, too, la willing for reconciliation, but feara to dismiss the alleged "persecution" b cause It might prove only a move brought about by tbe Flgga to relieve themselves of the $7,600 judgment which he got against them In Sarpy county for alienation of af. fectlon. The Flggs' attorneya say that thl caae Is to be carried to the supreme court with that tried before Judge Fawcett. Mr. Donahoo said that Judge Keysor's ruling of Monday rooming was satisfactory except that It tlea up bualnesa deala la which he i Interested as administrator of the eatate of hi father and thereby delay the division of the estate among th heir.
