Damages for HIS Wife.

BUFFALO. N. Y, May 29.-Henry II.
Wells, nephew of ex-Mayor Chandler j.
Wells, who was one Of the richest men in
Buffalo before his death, was to day con-
victed of alternating the affections Of the
wife of Adolph Weiland, and damages
were assessed at $500, one-tenth of the sum
claimed. Wells was happily married years
ago, and had an interesting family, but he
liked the society of people he met while
passing as a man about town better than
he did his home, and Mrs. Wells recently
obtained a divorce.
Wells is 40 years old, well built, good
looking, with keen eyes, heavy black
mOustache and an insinuating manner.
He became acquainted with Mrs. Weiland,
who is plump and rather good looking
woman, and they we're soon SO enamored
of each other hat Wells supplanted
Weiland almost entirely. Weiland says
that his wife coaxed his property away
from him, boughta new residence at Cold
Springs, and then refused to let him live
with her. Mrs. Weiland was in court
helping Wells in his defense, and was
charged with tampering with witnesses
and with hiding her children, so that they
could not be produced in cour to testify
to their mothers relations with Wells.

Congressional spouting.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-In the house
an amendment to the appropriation bill
was adopted appropriating 1922 900 to
meet the expenses of the twelfth biennial
session of the legislature OF Washington
Territory.
Delegate Carey of Wyoming offered
and advocated an amendment providing
that the governor and other officers Of
Wyoming Territory shall be appointed
from among the residents Of that terrific
ry, but the amendment was ruled out on
a point of order.
Mr.. Perkins of Kansas offered an
amendment requiring ten inspectors of
land CLAIMS to be appointed from the
clerks in the general land office.
He SAID the late William Andrew Jack
son Sparks, commissioner of the land
office, had issued an order s~uspending all
entries IN a large section of country and
had devoted his official life to harrassing
and embarrassing the poor settlers in their
efforts to secure homes. He was all right
as long as he confined himself to striking
down poor settlers, but when he attempted
to use his methods against the railway
company he was ordered by the admins
tration to step down and out. The
amendment was ruled out on a point of
order
The committee finally rose and reported
the bill and amendments to the house.
Holman OF Indiana demanded a separate
vote on the amendment increasing the
clerical force of the civil service commits
sion. The vote resulted SO to 81 and the
point of no quorum was made. The house
adjourned until Thursday.

dicated by the morning bulletin had been
fully maintained. Indeed not an unlav-
orable symptom or condition had ap.
peared since the change for the better
noted in the $50 bulletin Of last night.
The general sleeps at intervals without
artificial aid, while not n trace of the
oedema has so far made its appearance,
and all things considered the general is
confidently believed by his attending ply
slams to be really better.
The diet of the general has been
changed somewhat from the scanty variety
of nourishment heretofore allowed him.
He was given some beef juice obtained by
pressing the steak. He laughed when it
was given him and said: ITS a pity to
spoil that steak for this. | had rather
get the juice out between my teeth"
To this the doctor replied: "Well,
you shall, general, before the week ends
if you climb up like this.
An intimate friend of Gen. Sheridan
said to night that the generals mother a
number of years ago had an attack very
similar in its character to that which has
Frustrated the general. The progress of
the disease was much the same, it is said,
as in Gen. Sheridan's case. She recov-
cred and is now alive and in her goth
year.
A bulletin issued at | a. m. says: Gen.
Sheridan is sleeping quietly without the
aid of narcotics. No change to chronicle.
Mrs. Sheridan this afternoon sent to
Senator Henderson the thanks of Gen.
Sheridan for the good news of the bill re-
viving the grade of general, that had
passed the senate.

Among the assurances of health affor-
ded us by the regular discharge of the
bodily functions, zone is more important
and reliable than hat which regularity Of
the bowels gives us. If there is any
even a temporary interruption OF this
the liver and the stomach suffer conformity
with inactive organs, and still greater mis-
chief ensues if relief is not speedily OBJ
tanned. A laxative, above all cavil, on
the score of mineral composition or vio-
lent effect, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
approved by the medical profession and a
most important item Of the family materia
medica of American household. 1t is
botanic, painless in action, and if persist

in NJ less degree and no less promptly
and thoroughly than the bowels, are reg
ulated and toned by it, and it is an ad-
mirable defense against malarial and rhcu-
matte ailments, and a benign remedy for

andt, alias Brant, and VIM. Hindcrnach,
alias Boots, escaped from the Kent county
Jail this morning by saving through the
iron cell door, corridor bars and window
bars, and sliding to the ground on bed
clothing ropes. They have not been re-
captured, although every avenue of escape
is closely watched. Hlndernach is a noto-
rious thief, burglar and all-around tough,

other places for similar crimes, and was

yicted last week. Bryandt has served

and was convicted of the same crime at
the March term OF the United States court

Some Interesting Topics.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-In the senate
a message was read from the president,
returning without his approval, a bill APP
%propriating 5000 for a public building
at Youngstown. O. Senator Sherman
said the people of Ohio would be sur
prised at the character of the message
Just read. The people would like the
president to be impartial. Youngstown
was one of the most fiourishing towns of
the United States, with probably 10000
inhabitants, and with a postal rev.
enue of some $4,000. The rea-
son given in the presidents message
seemed to him to be paltry-
not a polite phrase he admitted. He un-
derstood that the president was in favor
of a bill reported by the senator from
Missouri Vest), allowing post office
buildings in towns of 4 1000 or 5000 in
habitants. and for which he (Sherman) in
tended to vote when it was put in proper
form. He disapproved of the way in
which the veto power was asserted in
small matters not affecting the constitu-
tional power nor any question of discre-
tionary power. With the utmost kind
ness to the president dor he
liked him in many respects)
he asserted that if the president were thus
allowed 10 veto measures that were passed
unanimously, and where the principle was
clear, congress would be abnegating its
power and s%urrendering its authority.
Sherman's remarks were replied to by
Vest and Call, and after considerable de-
bate the message was referred to the
committee On public buildings and
grounds.

Stocks and Cattle Markets.

New York, May 29.-The stock mar
ket to-day, except in the first hour, was
dull and uninteresting but generally
strong, though in the first hour there were
some violent and wide fluctuations. The
result of the days trading is to leave
most of the list materially higher than
last evening. The feeling on the street
was very much moro bullish than yester-
day, and some of the professionals were
working for a further rally on stocks in
which London was a buyer, but the bears
were inclined to resist the advance. The
general tone of the list was firm, however,
and the market finally closed dull but
steady.

Sheridan Somewhat Improved.

WASHINGTON. May 29.-Sheridan was
reported much better this morning and
his military aids express themselves as
feeling encouraged that he has a fair
chance of recovery. There was an air of
c~heerfulness about the members of the
household that indicated better than words
that there had been a decided change for
the better in the sick soldiers condition.
The first intelligence of his condition
came from Col. Blunt, who remained at
the house all night. He left it about 6:30
to go home for breakfast. and as he passed
the newspaper men in waiting he said
that the general had spent a very comfort
able night and that n of his physicians
told him a few minutes before that the
general was doing splendidly."
Everything seems to be more favora-
BILE now,' said Col. Blunt, and Mrs.
Sheridan and all of us feel much encour-
aged, but then you know the disease is
still there and no one a tell what might
happen" Col. Kellogg relieved Col.
Blunt and after spending some little time
in the house with the physicians and
members of the family appeared on the
front porch about s o'clock and conversed
freely about the case.
''The general slept well during the
night" said he, and now appears to be
much refreshed. His sleep was natural
and restful and not caused by narcotics of
any kind. His respiration also was easier
and more natural and there was no &C.
casiou to resort to the oxygen treatment
at ALL"
There were the usual number of callers
during the morning and the attendants at
the door seemed to take snecial Measure
in dilating on the generals improvement.
One of the p~rettiest sights of the morning
was when the generals three little girls
stopped in the midst of their play on the
beautiful lawn surrounding the house and
gathered some flowers to be sent to their
afflicted father
At AS it was reported from the sick
chamber that the favorable condition in

Senator Manderson, from the commit
tee on military affairs, reported a ILL to
revive the grade of general Of the United
States army. He said that its purpose
was to revive during the lifetime of the
present lieutenant general of the army the
grade of general of the army. Both of
those grades were to cease with the life of
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan. He would not
take up time in referring to the occasion
which made the bill a proper one for i'm
mediate consideration, and he therefore
asked unanimous consent to have the bill
now considered. Berry objected and the
bill was placed on the calendar.

last evening passed a new saloon ordi-
nance which restricted the location of
saloons hereafter to be established, but In
no way interferes with those already in
existence, and also provides for keeping
the front doors closed and blinds drawn on
Sunday. 1t is in the nature of a conces-
sion on the part of the saloon interest,
but falls short of meeting the views of
