MARRIAGE DECIDED A FAILURE By Two More Couples Who Huave Been Through the Mill WILL ABANDON THE DUMMY, The Broadway Depot to Become a Grist Mill—-The Grade on Benton Street in Controversy ~Mankor Improving—General Notes. Marriage a Fatlure. Domestic dificultis in a couple of Council Bluffs families have convinced tivo news: paper men that marriage is a woful failure, and it 18 statea that both will figure in divorce cases at the next tevm of the d trict court, The first is that of R. B. West- cott, of the Omaha Democrat, and Florenc Westcott, his wife, A precursor of the divorce procecdings in this case is the re- plevin case that will be heard in Justice Hendricks' court tolay. Mrs, \Westcott loft her home on Avenue A about a week ago, and returned to the sheltor of the paternal roof on Eightn avenue, On the following day she sent down Lo her husbaud's rosi- de A had a wagon load of furniture r moved to the home of her father, J. J. Bolin, Westcott, who had spent the night with his parents on Washington avenue, arvived at the house while the goods were being re- moved and attempted to stop the work, but without success. He nccordingly sccure the services of Flickinger [3ros., attorney: and replevined the goods. ‘The houso was placed in charge of Constable Covalt and thus matters rest at present. After the voods had been replevined, Westcott's father-in-law notified him ‘that unicss the £oods were brought back before noon the next day he would have him arrested on the charge of forgery, Tho goods were not re- turned and the charge of forgery has nol yet been preferred. The stories told by both sides reveal a highly sensationul state of affairs. and cach promises interesting developnients when tie case is calied for trial. Both parties agree that they had a pugilis- tic encounter a week ago last nizht, und the appearauces indicated that the head of the family came out second best, long, decp scratches across one side co and a large, livid spoton theother showed where the tiugor nails and tectl of his augry spouso had doue effective work. The parties w married on April 14 last, and the wife teils the following story of her wuarried life er since we have been married I have been annoyed al- most to death by Westcott's outrageous lying and the visits of bill collectors. He would tell me that the furniture was paid for, but collectors would keep coming_and coming, and I had to frame all sorts of ex- cuses to keep things. along until they could see him, but he managed keep out of their way ¢ has mistreated and abused me and vobody knows what I have had to wut up with, He wouldn't pay his devts and he did’t give me any money, und he wouldu't buy me clothes or provide for the table. My folks gave e aboutall we had. When Iwas sick lust summer, ho was so mean to me that my folks wouldn’t allow him to come into my room unul 1 was able to be up. Last summer he gave mea deed for alot und when I wentto huve it recorded, I found that he didn’t own it, and that he had used John Lindt's notarial seal aud forged Lindts name in acknowledging it. Lam sick and tired of living this way and I am going to have a divorce, 1f he will go abead and get a divorce from me L won't s: s word, but if he will not do that I will get the divorce from him, If he tries to stop me I will send him over the road for forgery. All I want is a divorce, and 1 don't care which way it comes.” Westcott's story is of course very differ- ent. Said he: “I have tried hard to make things pleasant and have done all I could for the woman, but sie has never appreciated it, She would nover stay at homo and has never shown the least biv of appreciation for what I tried to do. She says that I forged a deed, but I never saw the paper in my life. She says I destroyed it when [ found out that she discovered it to be a for- gery, but there is no truth in it whatever. It Was 4 runaway match and 1 5uppose this is a fit termination for it. I will not sue for a divorce, but I will file a cross biil when she begius her suit. Idon't want to say any- thing against the girl, but the records shall never show that she obuained a divorco from me. 1 dislike the notoricty that the casze must necessarily give me, but when the time comes I will make public some things that will surprise some folks. [ was doing my best to got along and straighten up my financial dificulties % and make a pleasant home and she gets tired of it, and makes these charges aguinst me, She has secured the services of Mynster, Lindt & Seabrook, a firm which was retained to look after my interests and thon sold out to her. 1 will take steps to have them disbarred for such unprofessional conduct. I will also make some ations that will be of the most intense interest to several men in thus city, and some so-called professioual work will be brought to public attention, There are several things that will transpire later, and then we will sea whether or not I am to be blackmailed ona trumped up charge of forgery.” The other case is that of R, N, Whittlesey of the Globe. Mrs, Whittlesey left her h band several months ago ana wentto Illinois, and it is ulleged that she departed w intention of securing u divorce in Chicago. Whittlesey blames a well known business man for the trouble in his family, and has announced his intention of bringing a suit at the January term of the district court to re- cover §10,000 from the suid business mun for alienating his wife's affections, Whittlesey tried to obtain possession of his little girl, Ada, some time ago in the superior court, but the child was taken away, and after ob- taining a transcript of the case here he left Saturday night for St. Louis, and will pro- ceed to 1llinois, where he will again eeek through the courts to obtain possession of the ehild. Mrs Whittlesoy seeks adivorce on the ground of adulte: alleging that the crime was committed with 4 servant girl who worked in the fam| and who has made two and thoy are in the possession of Mrs, Whittlesey.

The unfortunate illness of Theodore A. Manker muy result in delaying quite an im- portaut business venture, the details of which had been nearly cowmpleted before mental trouble developed. The enterprise is the outgrowth of the determina:ion of the Union Pacifie railway company to abandon its dummy service, as intimated in these columns soveral weeks ago. A stock com- pany bas been orgapized, with a capital stock of $10,000, and the Broadway dummy depot s to bo converted into @ flouring and grist mill. Mr, Mauker was to have been the man- ager, and the original intentions will be carried out in case he recovers bis health, otherwise another manager will be secured. Union Pacific ofticials are reticent regard - ing the proposed chauge, but there has been A rumor awong the smployes of the company for weeks thut the dummy service would shortly be abandoned. The motor line to South Omaha s now completed and in running order, and the dummy will now become o dead weight on the company’s hunds, as this end of the line has been smee the bridge live motors bogan running a Year ago. ‘T'here is no doubt but thut the line will be abandoned by the first of the year, and that the track on Union avenue will be torn up, the right of way being forfeited, according to the terms of their charter.

Tt is probable that a number of the prop- erty owners on Benton street will petition the council this evening for a slight change of grade on Benton street. The proposition will come from those living on the south end of the streetand from those ou the west side from one end to the other. On the south end of the street the present grade makes a fill of nearly four feet on aslope that is already steep enough for practical purposes. This, however, is not the chief cause of complaint. The proposed fill will insure the destruction of the shade trees on both sides of the street from Barmony to \Washington avenue. The trees are large hardy, thrifty pioneers that were planted n generation ago, and the espe- cial prido of the owners. There isfiot one of them that is not worth $100 to its owner, and their destruction would mar the beauty of the street and reduce the value of the property much more than any possible street improvement could add to it.” The proposed remedy lies in taking n foot moro from the top of the hill and making the fiil that much less. ‘Thia would benefit all the property on .the west side of the thoroughfafe and not damage that on the east to any extent. ‘The council at the last meeting ordered the street brought to grade, and this has brought the matter to a focus. 1f the property own- ers cannot induce the council to set aside the present grade or modify it as desired, those on the lower portion will appeal to the courts and ascertain whether an alleged public im- provement contemplates the wanton des- truction of property. ————— The people of Council Bluffs and vicinity wilt find in our great marked down sale the best opportunity ever offered to purchass fine jewelry and silverware, We are selling at actual cost.

Crafts, pastor of the Con- gregational church, chose for his theme yes- terday morning ‘‘the Consecration of the Christian,” aud based his remarks’ upon Chrouicle xx1x., 5: And who then is willing to consccrate his service this day unto the Lord.” There is no word that comes home to the christian’s heart with such force as that word “consecrate.” Itis full of meaning, and it not only means so much, but 1t awal ens such a tide of memories. Our fathers and mothers consecrated us to the Lord when we were children, and we think of the old home, go back to the good old days when family worship was in vogue, to the times vhen Burns wrote his “*Cotter's Saturday Night,” hear those artless notes that were just chunted in simple guise, hear the read- ing of the sacred page touched with ti sublimity of inspiration.

The shadow is on hand again at noon, and ‘‘sees” him to lunch and safe back to the office. The indefatigable shadow is ready for him again at the close of business hours, and then does not lose sight of him until he retires for the night. By this means the shadow can account for every min- ute of his man’s time., Of course, if the man should “drop” the shadow is with- drawn, he test is continued for three days to a week generally, but where there is any cause for suspicion it is kept up much longer.

American Geologist: The earth, traveling in its orbit around the sun, and onward with the entire solar sys- tem around some unknown and still greater center of attraction, iscon- stantly traversing now regions of space, which it depletes of meteoric dust and metoorites, thus steadily, no matter how slowly—incrensing in dinmeter. Now let this growth continue till the earth has just twice the attroctive power which it now possesses; we should then have twice the number of meteorites and double the quantity of dust falling annually upon it than now. Fortunately for our heads the earth has not as yet obtained very formidable dimensions, but wo may look upon it as an established fact that it constantly gains in weight and that 1n proportion to such gain its attractive power stead- ily increnses. The attractive power of the sun is so enormous that a perpetual hail of mete- oritiesand a torrent of dust particles wust rush upon it from all divections, and some of the foremost observers arve now of opinion that these falling bodies are the sole cause of the sun’s het In the light of this theory our earth isn young and growing, not an old and dying planet, a planet with a future, which ought to be cheerful news to all of us, aithough we shall not live to reap the benelit of it; and the sun, far from being on its last legs as an expiring luminavy, is steadily gaining in heat and lighting capacity At the Presbyterian church next Wednes- day evening petws will be rented for - Rush & Gert’s pianos, 538 Broadway. g o g oy Hereafter the dining room of the New Pa- cific will be run on semi-European plan, All meals served at 25 cents each. e Holiday goods and books as low as the lowest at Dell G.

The Manner in Which a Pocket Time- viece Should be Handled. A wateh, oven of very good qualily, can only give satisfuction if it is treated according to its subtle construction, the American’ Apulyst. Its po: or must prevent it from falling or being kuocked about. A jump from a street car has more than once caused a good timepiece in the jumper’s pocket tochangeits rate. A watch must be kept in a clean place. Dust and small articles of the pocket lining gather con- tinuously 1n the pockets, and even the best fitting case cannot prots the movement from diry finding its way to the wheels and pivots of the movement. Watch pockets should be turned inside out und cleaned at regviar intervals, A watch ought to be wound up regu- larly at about the same hour every day. The best time to do 1t is in the morning, for two reasons. inst, because the hours of rising are more regular than the hours of disrobing and retiring. Second, because the full power of the mainspring is more likely to reduce to a minimum the irregularities caused by the movementsof tte owner during the day. When not carried in the pocket a watch should always hang by its ring in the same position that it is worn. As orule watches will run with ! adifferent rate when laid down. Only high-grade watches are adjusted to position und will only show a~ few sec- onds’ difference in twenty-four hours, while common watches may be out of time several minutes 1n one night. Ladies often complain that their watches do not run regularly. Thismay be on account of smaller size and more . difficult regulating, but the main rea- son for the faulty rate is te be found in the fact that ladies do not always carry their watches and consequently often forget to wind them. Never Kmva a hunting-case watch open during a con- siderable length of time. A careful ob- server will find in the 1aorning a layer of dust on the crystal of a watch that of water that make the mighty ocean of battle and determine victory or defeat. The opening of the day of great battle is generally very prosaic. Afteran un- comfortable night passed in a wet or cold bivouae, whers the men, wrapped in their overcouts, have been gathered shivering about the campfire, teying in vain to get warm; after the simplest of breakfasts, of which the draught of poor cold water was the only palateable con- stituent. the soldier goes forth tobattle, there he may neyer evensee the enemy; indeed. unusually long halts uncomfort- able standing stillund harpnel fire, or apparently useless camping in mud and under small arm fire await him. The feeling of being exposed to the in ible missilies of the onemy, mingled with the uncertainty as to what is going on to the right and left, often produces in the best of troops great depression and: | a cousequent falling off in offensive strength, even when the battie in gen- oral is making splendid progress. In such moments tactics are exhausted, and it is only a question of grit and sense of duty Sheridan tells us: “Indeed, the battle of Chickamauga was something like that of Stone river, victory resting with the side that had the grit to defer the longest its relinquishment from the field.” Still more pressing is the ap- peal to the morale ol the troops when an unfortunate termination of the bat- tle forces _an army which has done its duty to retire. KExhausted to its last gasp, its resistance, pushed to the high- est pitch, gives wi and with frighuful reaction the resistless mass plunges to the rear. This is today no longer an organized retreat from position to posi- tion, as our predecessors taught and practiced, but an uncontrollable cur- rent, like the mountain. torrent, which, PeaI'_S obtained the only gold. medal awarded solely for toilet SOAP in competi- tion with all the world. /Ziglest possible distinction.” has been open during the night. The dust will find its way into the move- ment. The dust on the outside of the case will be unconsciously rubbed off by the wearer, but when the watch is closed the dust inside of the watch must remain there. A watch ought to be cleaned every two, or at the utmost three. years if it is not to be spoiled. The oil will change. It will become thickened by the dust that cannot be kept out of the best closing case. The dust will work like emery, and grind the surfaces of the pivots of the train. The best movements will be spoiled if this requirement is neglected. Even after being cleaned and put in order they will not recover their exactness, Many times it has been observed that a watch ran well for years, and that1t was unreliable after having . been cleaned. The reason is to be found in the fact that the pivots and their thick oil fit the jewel holes, and the cleaned pivots and their clean oil do not fit the | same jewels. e Beecham's Pius act like magic on a weak stomach. ————— An Order for a Monkey.

Tired out I returned to the Madison street store and gave them the address of the Dubuque eustomer to whom the monkey was consigned. I came back to our house, and the head man who had given me the order asked me if I had filled it. T told him [ had purchased and shipped the monkey but could find no Persian lamb.

I pointed to the order and said that monkey was mon- key, and he couldn’t make anything else out of it. It seems that the Dubuque man here the other day and was talking to the man who is ‘now sick about some capes. The customer said when he got home he would find out what was wanted and send in the order, To save charges he simply telegraphed scnd me one monkey and one Persian lamb, If the man with whom he had had the talk had been here he would have un- derstood the order. As it was, I acted on the reading of the order. I am sit- ting around waiting for that customer’s letter on the situation. Every time I see a wagon stop at the door I think I see a monkey in a cage. Of course it will come back to me. ana I’ll have to stand it, I suppose. But whatdo I wan of a monkey?

I agreed with the gentleman most heart- ily., Now, if there’s one thing that I thoroughly dislike---and it’s becoming more and more popular every day--it is to see a girl or woman riding a b It certainly may be good exercise, but 1t doesn’tadd to the grace,l can tell you.
