Yesterday was visitors' day at Catno

ing mothers, sisters and friends of the
boys. 1
Drill was curtailed for the day to
allow the , young soldiers to shine
their buckles and make ready for the
coming of the fair sex. A full dress
regimental parade was held in the
afternoon to exhibit to the visitors
the result of the week's training. A
base ball game has been arranged' be
tween Central and South High school
teams.
The visitors' train "left the camp
at 6:30. Routine was then resumed.

victim of mulish frightfulness is not

A recent army omcer forbad a
teamster to speak profanely to his
team even if he feels it necessary.
Perhaps that explains the army mule

nd divorced once, all happy illusions
of married life have been shattered
for James W. Wright, he declares in
petition in which he again asks the
uisirict court to sever the marital
ties which bind him to Lillian M.
' Wright. His petition recites that he
and Lillian were married in South
Omaha June 29, 1904; divorced July

gave Lillian on various occasions
after she had abused him and aban
doned home life and that her prom
4tJca to "be good" were of little con
tequence in her young life.
