preparing to go
to convention
Chicago May 11.- Divorced men
have received a shock from Judge
Ball in the Farlin divorce case here
which has caused not a few of them
to seek the advice of lawyers. Al-
though a man may be divorced for
fifty years according to the decision
of the jurist and although no mention
of alimony was made in the decree
no divorced man is safe from payment
of alimony so long as his former
wife lives and fails to marry. Judge
Ball announces that while'the decree
of divorce ended the other material
obligations the duty of the ' husband
to support his wife and her right
to demand and receive this support
is not af ected by the divorce.

lieved, dealt a death blow to the
prohibition legislation in this state.

Lima Ohio. May 11.—'The Standard
Oil company made its second slash in
the price of crude oil Tuesday when
another cut of five cents a barrel
for all grades was posted. While
the stocks of the eastern fields show
heavy losses millions of barrels
are being stored in Oklahoma, and
this iact together with the large
decline in the demand for oil by the
domestic trade during the summer is
given as one of the reasons for the
cut.

The opinion that the state reporter!
! is noc justified in changing words, j
phrases or even punctuation marks j
in bills but that when terms are e!im- '
inated or reduced they should be cop-
\ ied into the sessionlaws as originally
passe by the legislature together j

CHICKASHA, OKLA.
Chickasha Okla. May 11.—A second
successful church robbery was ;ictom-
plished here Sunday morning at the
Christian church when (a thief stole
the nsual Sunday morning collection.
The collection plates were taken
into the Sunday school room of the
church after the collection had ^been j
taken up. The thief was probably
watching his chance for when George i
Hill the financial secretary left the :
plates on a table in an adjoining I
room he returned to find the plates
there but the money gone. The
collection amounted to $40. Only j
last week a number of valuable
articles were stolen from the Catho-
