JUDGE SOLVES RAD TAXGLE.
and
He Settles Who Was Married
Who Was Xot.
OSKALOOSA, la., Dec. 12. Judge
Clements In the Mahaska county dis
trict court solved a matrimonial tan
gle that rivaled the famous "pigs In
clover" puzzle. Mrs. Sophia Ket
cham sought a legal separation from
Uriah Ketcham. The defendant filed
an answer denying that they were
man and wife, alleging that one Tho
mas R. Llndley, an inmate of the
state insane hospital, was the lawful
husband of plaintiff.
Investigation showed that Mrs.
Ketcham had been married to Llnd
ley, but had sued for divorce a few
years later. Lindley then flled a
cross-petition which was granted over
that of the wife. A technicality later
cfaused the legality of the decree to
be questioned. Upon that point
hinged the legality of the later mar
riage between tho woman and Ketch
am. Judge Clements confirmed tjie for
mer decree of divorce granted to
Llndley, thereby legalizing the Ket
cham marriage. Having cleared tho
tangle, the court refused to allow
the divorce last prayed, for which
seems to have been the object desired.

is adding to tho wealth of the United
States. Tho poultry products have
no longer uny dllllculty In excelling
tho wheat crop in value. They did
so last year, and thoro is every In-1
dlcntlon they will continue to do so
horoaftcr. But while- tho output of
poultry products ls expanding enorm
ously, tho consumption is also in
creasing, and nt a more rapid rato.
The lesult ls that poultry and egg
prices aro high and no sign of their
decline is given.
A good showing will bo mado this
year by tho dairy products, which
havo como to bo "iuoro valuable than
any crop except tho corn crop. Dairy
products for 190S will exceed $S00,-000,000.
I made from cane and beets, tho beet
pulp, the sirup and molasses of cane
and sorghum, and the maple sugar
and sirup, it is estimated, are worth
this year $94,000,000.

I crop only 275,000,000 bushels, or
5 per cent below tho five-year aver
ago, although tho value, $190,000,
000, ls IS per cent above and was
never equaled by any former crop.
Tobacco production ls still low
in comparison with recent years, but
tho prlco is probably a little above
that of 1907, when there was a de
cided lncrense above former years.
Tho value of this crop Is about tho
same as for 1907 and is higher than
at nny time before that year.
On account of tho extremely low
price of hops 'in 1907, tho average
production and value of 1P0S aro
low and havo been exceeded In many
former years.
Arrangements are under way look
ing to the removal of the postofflce
up town from Its present location in
the Hermann block. It Is said that
carriers have already been Instructed
to make delivery of mall to a new
location after the first of the year.
Sever.al buildings have been offered
for the use of Uncle Sam but no
definite action has been taken. For
some years It has been desirable as a
matter of convenience that the of
fice should be moved to a more cen
tral location for the business man
and closer to the residence section
of the town, but not until recently
has any action toward such move i
been made, when It was taken up by
Postmaster Steward.
