i TASDERBILT SUIT EXPECTED
. Little Surprise Over Divorce Action
Brought in New York.
PRINCIPALS REFUSE INTERVIEWS
Alfred V,. Vanderbllt, Yonna Man of
Thirty, Ilrlr to Fortnne of Sixty
Million Dollars Foreign
Trip ' Delayed.
N'KtV, YORK. April 2. There was little
surprise expressed . In any quarter today
over the announcement that formal action
in a suit for absolute . divorce had been
taken by Ellen French Vanderbllt ag-alnst
Alfred O. Vanderbiit. Within the social
set In which the couple have been leaders.
It had been known for a year or more.
It is sulci, that there was a lack of
tween the young
mutual good feeling- bett
While the parties to the trouble and
alt their . Intimates maintained the utmost
res;ve. since the reports of family troubles
brcainv public a week ago, still many
stories had found their way Into print
and been generally accepted as true, so
that .there seemed little doubt that legal
action would soon be taken..
Mr. Vanderbllt, ' when questioned about
the departure of his wife from the Van
derbllt farm at Portsmouth. P.. I., and
lskcd If he had been consluted before the
move w'as made, replied that Mrs. Van
derbllt was free to visit her brother at
any time without his consent. He and
Mr. Vanderbllt flatly refused to discuss
the relations existing between them on
the grnut.d that It was an affair in which
the public had no concern. Mr. Van
derbllt' departure for Europe had been
planned for early in the week, but was
delayed nntfl yesterday at the last mo
ment. This delay, it Is now said, was
brought about through the servloe upon
him ef the ' papers in his wife's suit for
divorce. ......
AKred U. Vanderbllt inherited a fortune
of )OiiOiVi0 at the death of his father, ths
late I'eifVIJus Vshderbllt. At the same
tlmo. '.ak'tiouKh. a younger son,' he became

that every effort Is being-made to con

Is nothing In 'any bt ths papers available
to show whether the contemplated action
Is for,' a separation or divorce. It is gen

Spring Woes For the enlightenment of
the men folks, who may not be able to un
derstand what the good housewives require
of them during the next few weeks, we give
the following formulae, which we guaran
tee: Roll up the object given to you, throw
it across the right shoulder and stagger out
to a wire Btretched between two poles.
Hang the object over the wire so that It will
not touch the ground on either side. Get
a good stick about three feet ' In length,
drawback- the arm and strike Hie object '&
smart blow, shutting your eyes at the same
time. Repeat the striking act for as long
a time as you can stand It and then sud
denly remember something that you have
to do down town.' Go down town and stay
there for three days. ' When you go home
again, dodge when you enter the door. SU

Building Up the State The price on Bur
lington lands in the county was from $5 to
$10 per acre, on ten years' time, at ( per
cent interest, with a discount of 45 per cent
for cash. The Union Pacific lands were
held at a uniform price of $S per acre, on
ten years' time, at 10 per cent Interest, and
W per cent discount for cash. It can readily
be seen from theea figures how generously
the Burlington was working for the devel
opment of the South Platte country. True,
it was working for the development of
what Its managers foresaw would be its
richest territory, but while it was putting
a dollar Into its own treasury by this course
it was putting many dollars Into the pock
ets of the people who bought its cheap
lands. Neither of the great factors In ths
development of our great state can be too
appreciative of the work done by the
other. York Republican in 1871.

SUTHERLAND, Neb., April 1 (Special
Telegram.) A prairie fire which started
near Valyrang postofflce In the weet end
of McPherson county, Tuesday afternoon,
raced In that section for about twelve
hours, destroying thousands of acres of
valuable range and burning over an area
perhaps fifty miles square. Getting to the
North Platte river near Paxton, It de
stroyed about 500 tons of hay. Barns and
other outbuildings on the McFadden ranch
were destroyed, and the Brogan and other
ranches were losers of all their feed.
While particulars are meager. It Is
thought there has been a heavy loss of
stock. Reports of several losses have been
received, one thst one farmer lost twenty
head of milch cows and another eight, and
another twenty-five steers. The fire trav
ersed a portion of the Kinkald settlement
and the new settlers will have to buy feed
for their stock until grass grows. The
loss of range would have been much heavier
had not the ranch men and fire fighters
managed to hold the -flames In check at
Clear creek, which prevented Its getting
Into the Bird Wood section.
Fire which started south of Sutherland
and burned to the Burlington also caused
severe loss the same day. Edwin Kaine,
a ranchman living a'short distance north
of Wallace, was burned to death In an
effort to save his property. Particulars
aro unobtainable. The same fifo also
burned 100 head of cattle.
