NEBRASKA WANTS NO SUCH FAME naay Attached to Soath Dakota Is,. Kparaed by Omaha and " the Good People of This State. ObU ' NfliHskn'B divorce laws will be mads more stringent by the next legislature It parent plsns ore carried out. W. P. Thomns. attorney, of Omaha, and demo-, cratlc' member-elect of the lower house, has determined to Introduce . a JblH ' con ierriplatlng a radTcal Vevlslon'of ibe alatuteV so as to save Nebraska from the obloquy that lias . attached : to South Dakota by reason of its bolng the so-called "dlvorca tnecca." Mr. Thomas will have the sup port of various elements Interested In the moral welfare of the state. JudgeHoward Kennedy of the district bench In Omaha favors a tightening of the lines, and so do other men In similar positions. It has como to notice that Nebraska's divorce law Is the same as that formerly In force In South Dakota; In fact. South Dakota's law was patterned after the Ne braska provision. But the rich and pretty and prominent divorcees from the east- Grace B. Mollneaux and other members of the far-famed Florodora sextette, Mrs. "Bob" Fitzslmmons and wives of ether "pugs" of the ring. Countess Zarewski and other titled women of the realm did not know of the Nebraska law, and therefore flocked to South Dakota, where divorce decrees were made while you wait. Two years ago, however, the South Dakota leg islature screwed up Its nerve sufficiently to repeal the law and raise the limit to one year's residence. Initiative aad Reterendom. But South Dakota has an Initiative and referendum clause In the state constitution and lawyers and the owners of the palatial hotels In 8ioux Falls the divorce mocca secured the legal number of signers and luvcked the Initiative, requiring a vote by the whole people. By doing this they put off the evil day for two years, but the people- sustained tlte 1eglaatur(,tiv tt)e re cent election, much to the disappointment of the lawyers and the capitalists, for hun dreds of thousands of dollars are Invested in costly hotels .in Sioux Fulls, hotel wrlch will compare favorably with any In Omaha. - Then the lawyers In the east began to look up the statutes of the different states and discovered that Nebraska had a six months' divorce law. This was better yet. Nebraska has larger cities than has South Dakota, and the large town appeals m 3C m DIAMONDS The only article in the world that does not deteriorate by wear.

Sioux Falls . is the metropolis of South Dakota, but Sioux tails has a population of but about 16.000 one-tenth that cf Omaha. uut umafia does not want to be a divorce mecca and W. P. Thomas will seek to raise the limit In this state. One Point for Nebraska. I am not one of these people who do not believe In divorces," said Mr. Thomas, "but I do not like the Idea of people com ing here for no reason other than securing a decree of separation and then leaving as soon as the marital tie is severed. Our law la better than the old South Dakota law in one particular; divorce decrees can not be granted In chambers, but the six months' provision Is undeniably wrong. Just what period of residence should be re quired I am' not at this time prepared to say, but I believe that Nebraska's, divorce law should conform with those In force In the majority of the states. I would like to see a divorce law In this state along the lines of the uniform divorce law as out lined by the American Bar association. I will look Into the matter thoroughly and present a bill at the coming session of the legislature." Constitution has a Voice. The 'constitution of the United States re quires that due cognizance of the statute provisions In other states shall be taken by all the commonwealths of the nation, but the supreme court has ruled that this constitutional provision does not apply to divorce laws, and on this holding New York has persistently refused to recognise South Dakota decrees of divorce. It has never discounted a Nebraska decree, for no hurry up "divorce while you wait" work has been done In this state, despite the statute provision. Should the present law remain on the statute books and the divorcees transfer their love from South Dakota to Nebraska, then It Is probable, attorneys say. that the Empire state will tell Nebraska to take Itw old divorce and hie to the sand hills with them. The supreme court decision was handed down In April, 1904, and was concurred In by Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justices White, Feckham and McKenna, the opinion being written by Justice White. Associate Justices Harlan, Brown, Brewer and Holmes dissented. The opinion reads: The mere domicile within the state of one party to the marriage does not give the enurts of that state jurisdiction to render a decree of divorce enforceable In all the other states by virtue of the full faith and rrerfit clause of the federal constitution nnnrramrm wno nia not appear and ws only constructively served with notice of the pendency of the action. $50' and $45 Suits and Overcoats, to order, $35 540 Suits and Overcoats, to order.... ..$30 S35 Suits and Overcoats, to order. ....... $25 SSQ and $25 Suits and Overcoats, sjf f n td order , S IO Perfect fit. and stylo guaranteed.

GRAND JURY TRIES TO QUIT MBBssaaai I After Eight Weeks of Toll It Is Pn tlenvorins; to Cnrapletit lis Session. After a session lasting eight weeks the county grand Jury is getting resdy to adjourn. The closing session probably will not come until early next week, however, owing to the large amount of business yet to be transacted before the Jurors can quit. It Is the Intention of the county attor ney's office to take all the police court cases It has on hand before the Jury Wednesday. After listening to the evi dence In these cases and disposing of them the grand Jury will then turn Its attention to the final rport, which, it Is said, will be elaborate and rather detailing. Agree ing on the form and substance of this report will probably require several days and while some of the jurors would like to quit this week the probabilities sre the session will extend over Into next week.

"I have two younger children at home and there 1s no food or fuel In the house and I am out of money. I don't know what I will do." Judge Sears was touched and, giving her some money to tide her over until Tuesday, Invostlgated her story. Tuesday morning he called Anderson over from the jail and had a long talk with him.

LARGE .RECEIPTS IN CORN Heavy Shipments Into Omaha Are Looked For Daring the lanilos Week. Large receipts of corn are looked for the coming week in Omaha. This grain has been steadily held by Farmers who have been holding for a higher price. Ten ant farmers, who are more In need of the money, have let go their holdings, but a large percentage of the men owning their own farms have cribbed their corn. Northwestern wheat continues to come Into the market in larger quantltea than some expected, but this lias not had a de preciating effect on the price. The Argon tlna scare, of course, has been the strongest factor In maintaining the price of U.ls grain. te' Cafe Beautiful p HANSON HOTELS.
