Who goes to the club while her hus-
band tends the baby, as well as the

after her home, will both at times get
run down in health. They will be
troubled with loss OF appetite, head
aches, sleeplessness. fainting or dizzy
spells. The most wonderful remedy
for these women is Electric Bitters.
Thousands of sufferers from Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and Nerv-
Gus troubles of all kinds are soon re-
lieved by the use of Electric Bitters.
Delicate women should keep this
remedy on hand to build up the system

HER THIRD VENTURE.
so said a Young Widow Yesterday
in Taking Out n License To- Wed.


This will be my third husband, .
said Mrs. Fannie Gawronski of 1901
South Thirteenth yesterday while mar
riage License Clerk Charles Bilhart2
was filling out a license for her to
marry Frank E. Etzkorn.
rs that so:'' said the clerk
"Yes. " replied she, land if this little
fellow don't behave himself I'll fix
him.
She noticed the door leading to an
inner Office partly open. She walked
over to it and shut it. Edward Bau-
man, who has Il desk in the inner
room, wondered who shut the door,
which he had left open to facilitate
ventilation. He opened the door
again and looked out with please
ve-this-door-alone look on his
countenance.
Mrs. GawrOnski walked back to the
door from where she was standing at
Clerk Bilhartz's desk, and pulled the
door to with a slam. 1t remained
closed.
After Mrs. Gawronski and her third
choice had gone Bauman opened the
door cautiously and peeped out. See
ing that the coast was clear, he VEN
tured out and inquired who the woman
was who insisted on keeping h.s Office
door closed
Before leaving Mrs. Gawronski
asked Clerk Bilhartz where divorces
were obtained. She was told that
they were granted upstairs.

The Law Governing Prizes,

The following clipped from an ex-
change, is brief summary of the law
relating to prizes captured at sea dur
ing war:
"All the prize of ship superior in
force to the one capturing, above the
cost of disposing of it, is awarded to
the officers and men. One-half of the
prize of vessel of inferior force goes
to the government and one-half of the
net goes to the men, divided as fol-
lows: The Commodore commanding
the feet gets one-twentieth: the officer
commanding division capturing gets
One-ffftieth: the captain o. vessel gets
One-tenth. if acting under superior
officer and attended: if acting indie
pendently he gets three-twentieths: the
residue is divided among other officers
and men according to the regular pay
they receive. All men of all vessels
in fleet in haiIiDg distance, whether
engaged or not, share alike \ prize
crew when away from their ship with a
prize, if another prize is captured,
share the same as though present.
The above distribution includes both
vessels and their cargoes."

FLOUR GOING UP,
1t Is Following Wheat and Bread
VIII Follow II.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May l0.-Flour is
marching onward and upward. To-
days advance was SOC barrel, max
ing the whole price on Pillsbury grade
sS barrel, as against $40 when the
advance began early in April, or SO
for the last thirty days. Thus the
percentage of advance is fraction
over 80.
All prospects favor still higher
price for hour. The strongest argu-
ment in favor of an advance is that it
is anywhere around EJc un,l- d n-.g-
ity with wheat. At 50 barrel, flour
is on basis of Sl.40 wheat, and the
closing price of cash wheat to-day
was sI.S5. y large proportion of the
wheat bought by millers for immedi-
ate grinding purposes does not cost
quite the May figure, because wheat
may be good enough for millers' use,
and still not be up to a grade deliver
able on May contracts. 1t requires
/ lib bushels OF wheat to make a bar
rel of flour.
The demand from all sources is of
an extraordinary nature. The bread
buying public is soon to feel the prac-
tical effect of high-priced wheat, for
city bakers are about to advance
pound loaves Ic. To-day's advance
was based mainly on the advance in
May wheat.

The National Guard,

Those regiments of the National
Guard which have not been asked to
volunteer are still at the service of
the President of the United States,
and may be called on for duty any
where within the country. For such
duty they need not be asked to volun-
teer: they are liable without being
asked. If any part of the country is
to be stripped of its gsrrisons to serd
troops to Admiral Dewey, the places
of those garrisons could be filled,
temporarily at all events, by the
National Guard. They are as much
at the call of the President for SER
vice within the United States as is the
regular army. This fact should not
be overlooked.-NewY York Sun.

Dewey Babies,

The naming of babies for the victor
ious Admiral of the Asiatic squadron
has already begun. Representative
Adolph Meyer, of New Orleans, had a
telegram yesterday from one of his
admiring constituents, announcing
the birth of son. He would have
named the youngster solely in honor
of the Louisiana Representative, but
in view of the great triumph at Manila
he deemed it advisable to honor Ad-
miral Dewey also. Therefore the son
will bear the name of Dewey Meyer

4 Queer "a Medicine

There is a Medicine whose pro-
prietOrs do not claim to have dis
covered some hitherto unknown in

full physicians as being the best for
Kidney and Bladder Diseases. 1t is

All the privates of the last war was

The generals mostly stays in the rear.

but nobody thinks so.
When the privates win the battle the
governmentpats the general on the back
