tho Nebraska women are to have a 1813

things which will aid you and tho things
which will best bring to you success In

"One of the Important things of which
you must be careful Is the choice of your

I would even secure the services of a

"After you have elected your president
you must support her and work with
her. In the headquarters you must have
most efficient help and good quarters
where you will have space enough for the
secretary to have a private room where
she can work and not bo disturbed.

HAD WIFE, DIDN'T KNOW IT
Andrew H. Trnphagen Thought He
Was Divorced Years Ago.
REALTY DEAL REVEALS FACT

Divorce granted Mrs. Susan Traphagen
fiom Andrew II. Traphngen In Douglas
county district court twenty years ago
became effective for first tlmo yesterday,
when the costs of the suit wero paid and
the decree for tho first tlmo was entered
In tho court journal.
In the twenty years that have elapsed
neither Traphagen nor his wife has re
married, though they thought themselves
perfectly freo to do so. Not until Tra
pagen employed an attorney to attend
to a real estate matter for him was It
discovered that ho still was Mrs. Tra
phagen's husband.
Mrs. Traphngen got her decreo ot di
vorce In 1S9J. Judge Cunningham It.
Scott, tdnce dead, signed It. Hut Mrs.
Traphagen was too poor to pay the costs
of the suit and the rigid rule was that
no decrees should be Journalized nnd be
conio effective until all costs should be
paid.
Old t'nr nlsmlsiteil In I8IM.
In 1S91 Judge Wcott tired of waiting for
Mrs. Traphagen to pny the costs, so he
dismissed the suit, leaving her and Trap
hagen still ns much married In the eye
of the law as on the day when their wed
ding ceremony was performed.
In tho meantime Mrs, Traphagen had
gone to Kansas City to live and Trap
hagen had located In Cheyenne.
Itecently Traphagen Inherited $4,004
worth of property from a relative In Illl
nols. He wished to sell thin, but the
would-be purchaser wcr unwilling to buy
because Traphngen told him he once had
had, a wife and he feared she might
some time try to claim an Intel est In
tho land. Traphagen then hired a lawyer
to look Into this phase of tho matter and
the discovery ot the dismissed divorce
suit was made.
TriiphahrJ-n Noit Prosperous,
Traphagen. now prosperous, paid his
wife $1,001 alimony; slui paid the costs of
her divorce suit, had It reinstated and the
decrco Journalized; lie filed his consent to
this procedure,
Now Mrs. Traphagen never can claim
any Interest In Traphogen's property and
he Is free to sell it.
Tne Traplmgcns left for their homes to
day after adjusting their divorce and nil-
