Thurston County, in Nebraska, is only eight
months old and is $10,000 in debt.
The
county has an area of about 430 square miles, comprising some of the best land
in the state, but only about one-fourteenth has been opened to settlement.
Strenuous
efforts are being made to remedy this condition of affairs and money has been
subscribed to send a
delegation of representative Indians to Washington
to work for the passage of an act opening to settlement a large portion of the
Indian Lands adjoining Pender.

Paid For Wedding Presents 
Curious Feature in the Curry Divorce Case at Pender
Special Dispatch to the World Herald
Pender, Nebraska, March 4. --- Judge Sears has granted a divorce to Mrs. Beatrice A. Curry from her husband, W. T. Curry, a prominent business man of this place.
Mrs. Curry was also given alimony to the extent of $500, from which she was instructed to deduct $100, the value of wedding presents which she took with her when she left her home, the testimony showing that they were made by the husband's family.
The hearing has been the principal social sensation in this section this week and the case has attracted a great deal of interest, owing to the high position of the families engaged. The suit was very stubbornly contested by Curry.
The petition of Mrs. Curry alleged, extreme cruelty, failure to properly support the plaintiff and refusal to allow her relatives to visit her. The couple have been married less than a year and separated after living together five months. Judge Sears heard the case for Judge Graves.
