Several news paper men already have been there before this morning, so she thought I wanted to see "Sebastinano" and she discoursed volubly in her native tongue. I shook my head, so a young neighbor woman was called in as in terpreter. "She feel bad," the neighbor ex plains. "Yes, he ees young only 22. He ees good boy works at the smel ter. He so excite he couldn't eat his dinner when they tol' him. He ees gone to tell his sister." The little mother is "excite," but tear is a part of her emotion. "What would they do to Sebas tiano?" she asks through the inter preter. "Would thty take him at once? Far away from this quarter in an exclusive section of Omaha the same excitement prevails in a beautiful home. The maid who answers the door seems to share in the unrest. She ushered me into a large living room, where a family group was eagerly scanning a copy of The Bee. iwo were women, one middle-aged ana one young. A young man was bending over them and he straight ened up as I entered, already the bear ing of a soldier in his manner. He smiled unconcernedly, but the mother was frankly red-ejed and the pretty young sister dabbed at her eyes quickly with a lacy handkerchief. xet anotner scene: it is a pros perous little brick apartment house.

"Oh, you know how I feel," she said shortly, and she gave her fingers a vicious jab with the nail file. We all sat silently as the young host hunted for a picture to give me for The Bee.

YON DORN IN BAD MATRIMONIAL MIX Has Two Wives and Yet Has but One; First Wife Only Wants t-c Get Her Alimony. How many wives has John E. Von Dorn, Omaha attorney? According to Judge Day, sitting in equity court, he has two legally, but still has only one legally. This paradoxical matrimonial tan gle is one of the most knotty legal problems ever aired in the Douglas county court house. Failure of the attorneys represent ing two opposing factions in an ali mony fuss to get together and pave the way for the court to untangle the problem may cause Judge Day to delay handing down a decision until next week. The complications arising from Von Dorn's matrimonial career came to light when Mrs. Louise E. Von Dorn, the attorney's first wife, who is still in the eyes of the law his legal spouse, began suit to enforce a judgment for $11,000 alimony. I he Von Dorns were divorced in 1908 in equity court, Judge Redick presiding. ahe was awarded $ll,OUO alimony. Then They Made Up. She testified before Judge Day that she and her divorced husband started living together again the day after the decree was granted. That constituted a common law marriage nder the laws ot .Nebras ka," ruled Judge Day. Von Dorn was married to Miss Nel lie Ru')in, his stenographer, at Glen- wood, la., in 1911. Tudee Dav said from the bench he might consider entering some kind of a decree legaling separating Von Dorn and his first wife if tliclr attor- This Car Will Seem Built to Your Order S2S If you knew all about cars, and wanted the utmost, you would have a car built like the Mitchell. of their matchless comfort.
