Through her attorney, AJ. 11. Zell ner. Mrs. Annie Ouo Rllssell. liajs entered suit for divorce /against her husband, Arthur M. Russ/11. Mr. Russell and his vife. who Was Miss Annie O. Manoe./were married about four years ago/and have one little son about three/years old. Mr. Russell for a number of years, was employed as a clerk/in the postoffice, but some time ago) was transferred to the railway mail service depart ment. and it is nok s> now known whether or not lie is sTTTL in Iliac branch of the service. I In the petition liled in the office )i the clerk of the superior Mrs. Russell Icharlges her hiraiaud with cruel treatment and non ylipport.

M. Russell mil hp BELIEVED THAT PRICE OF MEAT WILL ADVANCE WHEN NEW LAW IS EFFECTIVE. What effect/ the meat inspection laws which wave recently enacted by congress and/ which go into effect on October i. will have upon the price of meal, is a question which Is of vital importance to every house holder in tha land. A prominent retail met merchant of Washington is accredited with sav ing that the new laws will cause i rise of from 7 to *l2 per cent in the cost of meats particularly tael'. This dealer takes the stjand, in spite of the fact that the government, pays the cost of inspection, a number of at tendant obligations fall upon the packers, all of which make the pro duction of packing house products higher. The bearing of these conditions on the Brunswick mdj]#et is, of course, a prime consideration, and the opin ion of retail meat} dealers of this city should be extremely valuable .i connection with th/s matter. A tour among tha meat markets of the city brought tut the fact that! the majority of dealers laughed at the idea of an increase of price as a result of inspection. There were one or two, however, who stated that the only logical result of the inspec tion laws would be a rise in price.
