Marecek against Fanchion Clara Marecek. Marecek testified year-old wife had required him to buy a car and take herself and her relatives to the Panama exposition. that that constituted cruelty. But Judge Redick denied that the wifely command to buy the car, was cruel, al- though he on other grounds. If, instead of being content with a fllvver, Mrs. Marecek had Insisted upon a huge money than her husband had in his pos- session, his ruling might have been dif- ferent, the judge Intimated. “Although the wife insisted that her husband should buy an automobile,” sald Ao A A RAN A R AT BEAUTIFUL & USEFUL " CHRISTMAS GIFTS Specially Low Prices on Dining Suites in All the See Our Daylight SPECIAL RUG PRICES 9x12 Seamless Brussels Rugs, 9x12 Seamless Velvet Rugs, at ... 9x12 Axminster Rugs, at ..

The jobs, it is asserted, were neatly done, and as a | result they secured contracts with various hostelries for considerable work. On the return of these articles they were found to be exceedingly heavy. Close perusal of the contract revealeq the fact that the | hotel men had agreed - to pay for the work by weight at an exorbitant figure. The gypsies arrested here came from St. Paul and were arraigned for the purpose of gIving them a warning that such active itles would not be telorated in Omaha. DISCUSS 'PHONE RATES MONDAY Special Committee Asks that Matter | Be Taken Up by the Entire Commission. ‘ |EXTRA TOLL 1S ‘THE 18SUE Commissioners Butler, Kugel and | Withnell, appointed several months | ago by the city council to serve as a | special committee to investigate the | reasonableness of the bG-cent tele- ‘phona toll between Omaha proper “lnd the South Side, have asked that | the committee of whole discuss this | matter. next Monday morning. The committee Is inclined - believe the toll should be removed, but is agreeable that the telephone company be granted a hearing. Argume. t Officials. Th, gist of the argument offered by officlals of the telephone company Iis that wunder the existing zone arrange- nt 12 per cent of the patrons of Greater Omaha now pay 80 per cent of the Omaha-South Side busine -, these patrons having what is known as unlimited serv- ice in return for a rate o. 0 cents more than the limited zone service. The com pany further asserts that the present average toll pald per year by $ per cent of patrons is 60 cents. The logic of that argument is said to be this: Those who have real need for the South Side serv- ice pay the extra 5 cents per month, and that under the 5-cent charge 88 per cent of patrens average only twelve calls per yea~ The company contends a readjust- ment of rates would be mecessary if the | toll should be abolished Commissioner Jardine said he believed the present plan is the better, and he added that to disturb conditions would result in the telephone company receiving even more revenue for the service than ia being received. Commissioner Ium- mel sald it is the duty of the commis- | stoners to regulate the rates. { BURLINGTON LOCATES MANY ON FARMS DURING YEAR During the nine months since March 1, the Omaha end of the Burlington's land department has located 10 persons in tre dry farming section of Wyomins, in | what is looked upon as Omaha trade ter- ritory.
