SURPRISE PARI! FOR MANY

Are Still Married.
FAIL TO PAY UP THE COSTS
Aa Result No Decree lias Ever Been
Entered and Case Are Strlrkea
from the Docket by the
Judge.
There are undoubtedly a number of per
sons who are of the belief they have been
divorced, when such is not the case. While
In a number of cases where the cowl has
granted a divorce on the evidence, no de
cree has been Issued because of the failure
of the parties concerned to pay the costs.
Yesterday Judge Macy struck from the
docket several such cases which had been
carried over from term to term awaiting
the payment of the costs. Now that the
cases have been stricken from the docket
the divorce proceedings are annulled and
the parties Interested are still legally mar
ried, and In order to secure a severance of
the matrimonial knot must either secure
an order re-entering the suit and pay the
costs or else Institute a new suit for di
vorce. In the following list of cases struck from
the docket by Judge Macy are several such
divorce suits- in which the parties had
failed to pay the costs, and consequently
no decree had been Issued:

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES . MOINES, Aug. SI. (Special.) A
strike of the school teachers In Clarke
county has been settled and resulted in the
teachers getting an Increase In salary from
$2S to $40 a month. The teachers formed
Union and refused to teach the schools un
less they were paid more money. The di
rectors appealed to State Superintendent
PISE" and asked him to Issue certificates
to those next lowest In percentage In the
recent examination in that county. Prof.
Rlggs declined to take sides against the
strikers and In a letter to the directors
pointed out to them that the demand for
teachers over the state was such that
the striking teachera In Clarke county could
easily get position In other countle at
good salaries on their certificates, which
are good In any county. He recommended
that the directors and county superintend
ent and striking teachers hold a . confer
ence. The conference was held with the
result that the Increase In salary Is granted
and the schools in Clarke county will open
on schedule time next week.

able profit to the' management to be used

Today has been one with a perfectly
clesr sky and the result has been that
many who put off coming on Wednesday
nd Thursday because of the rain came
today. The damage from the storm of
yesterday was quickly repaired, so that
before the people were on the grounds yes
terday morning the evidence of the storm
were removed. It ha been a great fair, in
every way auperlor to any the state has
held with the one exception of the attend
ance and receipts and with the close today

I.ee Stttts at I'nlnn I'aelflo Shop
Victim of Brntal
Assault.
Lee StMts, nlghtwatchnian at the I'nlnn
Pacific shop, was shot, slugged and beaten
Friday night by two highway robbers, who
approached htm at about 11:30 o'clock, as
he was making his rounds, and commanded
him, at the point of a gun, to throw tip
his hands. He obeyed the command, but
nevertheless one of the desperadoes shot
him through the left forearm, afterwards
knocked him down and beat him brutally.
Aftor going through hi tfockcts the two
men disappeared, leaving Stitts lying un
conscious on the ground. When he regained
consciousness he went to the boiler house
and another watchman notified the police
station and the Union Pacific hospital.
The Union Pacific ambulance and Dr.
Hyde were sent to the shops and the in
jured man was conveyed to St. Joseph's
hospital for treatment.
Mr. Stilts Is a man about fS year of age.

to give only a meager description of his
assailants and doubts If he would be able
to Identify them.
Officers, In searching for the holdup men,
found a sack containing over 100 pounds of
brass, which would Indicate the watchman
had come upon them while they were mak
ing away with the metal, and the assault
wa probably prompted by their desire to
escape.
STREET RAILWAY SHY ON MEN
Would Pat on More Car In Rush
Hour If It Had Men to
Handle Them.
"Time was," said an official nf the street
car company, "that we had a long list
of men on the extra list who could be
pressed Into service whenever neded. Now
we have a hard time to koep the regular
run supplied With men. Formerly an
extra man or sub was required to buck
the extra list for six month or a year
and sometimes longer before he got a reg
ular run. Now it la not an uncommon
thing for men to get a regulur run who
have been on the extra list for .only a
month or so,' and In one Instance a two
weeks' man was given a regular run on
the Dodge line. ' Many of our old men
have left us to aocept positions in other
lines. There are many occasions when we
would be glad to put extra cars Into serv
ice to handle a rush ot traffic, as the
less crowded the cars are the fewer acci
dents and damage suits we nre likely
to have. We have the cars and necessary
equipment, but haven't the men to handle
them."

Esra Fremont Die Suddenly of Heart
Disease.
WALTHILL, Neb., Aug. 8L (Special.)
The Omaha tribe of Indians has suffered
a great loss In the death on Monday, Au
gust of Wajapa, otherwise known aa
Ezra Fremont. The deceased was about CS
years of ago and had always been rugKed
and well and wu a great worker. Tha
cause of his death was what la called by
the medical profession angina pectoris. HI
sudden death was a great shock to all th
members of the tribe and to hi whit
friends as well, of whom he had many.
His Integrity and Industry, his kindnes
of heart and many qualities of sterling
manhood caused him to be held in the
highest respect and esteem by all who
knew him olf both race. It. wa most
touching to see the effect of hi death on
persons of all classes. All people, old and
young alike, showed real grief and sorrow.
Even young boy begged to see him and
showed by their manner their feeling of
personal loss.
Wajapa had for many years, by precept,
and especially by example, urged upon hi
people habit of Industry, sobriety, fru
gality and elf-respect. , "The white man's
burden" seems an empty phrase when on
knows the burden which lay always so
heavily upon hi heart and whloh Ilea upon
the heart of some other of the Omaha
tribe.
It wa the privilege of the writer of thll
sketch to be counted among the friend of
Wajapa, and to have a long, talk with
him. touching many matter,- lei than two
day before hi death. Among other thing!
which came Into the conversation .was th
past and present condition of hi people.
He said: "In former day the Omaha wr
men, strong, clean and courageous; but
In later days they have lost therr former
virtues and have fallen victim to tha vlcea
of the white man. while they' have not
made his virtues their own. aa they should.
I love my people and have suffered much
sorrow from seeing their demoralization by
drinking and other vices. I have dona what
I could. I have tried to give my people
good advice. My heart Is tired. I wonder
sometime why God doe not take me away
from the earth and give me rest. When 1
am tired I think that I must give up, th
burden Is too much for me. But I, have
resolved that so long a God leave m
above the ground that I will still atrlv
to do what I can to warn my people against
the evils of Intempersnee."
The deceased is survived by a widow
snd four children, a son and three daugh
ter by former marriage. On daughter,
Miss Nettie Fremont, Is a teacher hi th
United States Indian school at Rapid City,
S. D. ; another daughter, Margaret, 1 a
student at Carlisle Indian school; another
daughter, Mrs. Amos Mitchell, reside near
the Omaha agency. The son, Francis, ti
