WIFE SEEKS A DIRGE
Kensington Woman Brings
Charges Against Husband
on Statutory Grounds.
An Interesting suit for divorce pro
ceedings has been filed in the circuit
court by Mrs. Henry Herberts of Kens
ington, who asks for a divorce from
her husband Henry, on the grounds of
cruel and inhuman treatment. The tes
timony in some places is rich and is
very Interesting to an outsider. Mrs.
Herberts asserts that on the evening of
Jan. 1, 1908, when her husband poured
water down her back when she was
about to retire and when she screamed
he told her to continue would mean
her Instant death, as he would shoot
her.
Following this attack she says her
husband chased her around the room
with a butcher knife threatening to
cut her throat if he caught her. She
asserts that she was successful In
keeping away from him, thus saving
her life. In other sheet, Mrs. Herberts
says her husband neglected her for
other women and that he was a fre
quent visitor at the different resorts
of Twenty-second street and Armour
avenue. She further says that her hus
band at one time brought one of the
inmates of a down town dive to their
home and introduced her as his cousin
from the east. Then she gives a graphic
description of what followed.
It is said Mr. Herberts denies all of
these charges and says that his wife
has made false charges. A large num
ber of Kensingtonltes will be down
town to hear the trial when It comes
up for hearing.
FIRE IS fill HOSPITAL
Presence of Mind of One
Nurse Saves Patients
From a Panic.
For the past week prairie fires have
made their appearance all over Calu
met Heights. One of the fires was set
near the South Chicago hospital which
is situated at Ninety-second street and
Oglesby avenue and it was only for
the quick thinking of one of the nurses
that a panic was averted.
The fire it is thought was set by
some small urchins who take a de
light in seeing them burn, the nurse
who was on outside of the hospital at
the time noticed the grass burning
and at once took a broom and started
to pu out the blaze, she succeeded only
after a severe fight as the wind was
fanning the flames all the time. The
nurse was burned a little about the
hands but not serious and the patients
did not know of the fire at all.
One of the fires set by some one set
fire to a house on Stony Island avenue
and the fire department was summoned
to put it out.

Cit, thA Rth Aav of Aua-ust. 1908. an
opportunity -m be presented you of
selecting by ballot, without interfer
ence of party machines, the candidates
i you wish to represent your affiliations
at the election in November. If the
voters wish to retain this political in
i dependence, won for them after a long
and bitter struggle last year, it Is
essential that all go to the polls and
vote their party nominations accord-
ing to their own convictions.
In this connection, we fail to per
ceive the justice of the outcry about
the various machines selecting slates.
The machines have the same rights to
recommend tickets or slates as the
Municipal Voters' League or the South
Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly.
We do, however, condemn any attempt
on the part of machines to restrict the
number of candidates for the various
offices. This is the greatest evU with
which the voters are faced, and it re
mains for them, to put it out of the
power of bosses to punish any good
men who have the temerity to contest
for places on the party tickets against
their wishes.
