MRS. SHURTS TRIES AGAIN.
FOR THE THIRD TIME SHE SEEKS A
DECREE OF DIVORCE.
Both the Former Suits Were Thrown
Ont of Court on Account of the
N~auseatinE Character Of
the Evidence.

Hello! Here comes this dirty linen
again. said a clerk in the circuit court
yesterday when a lawyer stepped up TO the
desk to file the divorce suit of Gracy
Shurts against James n. Shurts.
II was the third time that this husband
and wife had come into the circuit court
for divorce. The other two times the
Judges. after listening for a while to the
disgusting evidence in the case. had thrown
II out of court as too nauseating to be
aired in public. Mr.. Shurts is an engineer
at the Victoria hotel. The evidence as heard
in court left no doubt that neither Mr.. nor
Mrs. Shurts was entirely fit to have charge
Of their 9-year-old son, whom both seem to
love. 1t is for the custody of this child
that they go into court.
The first suit for divorce was filed by
Mr.. Shurts last March. He alleged that
his wife went to dances without his con-
sent, had a violent temper and associated
with gamblers. She filed a cross bill saying
that she could nave lived with him but he
was a Protestant and she was a Roman
Catholic and he was always teasing her
about her religion and trying to keep her
from going to church.
This case came OF for trial before Judge
Scarritt. He listened a day to the eVi,
dence. Then he lectured both the husband
and wife %soundly. told them they ought to
behave for the sake of their child. said
one was as bad as the other. and neither
was entitled TO a divorce. He dismissed
the case.
divorce. Judge Gates undertook TO hear
the trial but he did exactly as Judge Scar
rift had done.

husband and asks for the custody Of her

Enrique Guerra. Mexican consul in Kan
sas City, enjoys the confidence of the
Mexican government to the fullest extent.
Through his Intervention nan important
commercial questions between the United
States and ~neighboring Mexico have been
happily adjusted.
Consul Guerra has played no small part
in arousing the growing interest which
manufacturers and capitalists now mani
fest in the development Of the rich posi-
bilities of Mexico.
In addition to the closest attention to the
duties of his consular position, Mr.. Guerra
has found time TO publish several books in
Spanish. the most noteworthy being his
Spanish grammar.
During his long residence in this country
nothing has impressed Mr.. Guerra more
than the refusal of the intelligent part OF
every community to put up with such all
ments as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness or a run down" condition. They
know that there is no good reason why
| they should continue to suffer from these
absolutely and permanently durable COM

$1,000 Damage.
Detectives Greeley and Sparks yesterday
afternoon discovered a gang of small boys
in the act Of carrying away a load OF lead
n copper wire which they had stolen
from the old Natatorium at Eighth and
Broadway. The boys had gained an en-
trance to the building through a coal chute.
They cut the lead from the watts and pipes
in the building and had ruined a new dyna'
mo which was stored in the building. by
cutting the copper wire with a Ratchet
When discovered the boys had filled a num-
Der of sacks with the plumber.
They saw the detectives before the means
of exit from the place could be closed. and
scattered in all directions. Greeley capt
ured Robert Davis, a small colored boy, and
Sparks caught Florence Chouteau and a
boy known as Pug Jones. Seven other
boys succeeded in making their escape. The
detectives started to Central station with
the boys and plumber, but at Fourth and
Wyandotte the Davis boy dropped his
sack of wire and lead and dashed down the
street toward the river. Greeley gave
chase. but the boy had secured a start OIL
a dozen yards. Sparks turned Pug Jones
over to a man named Irwin Smith, to hold
while he assisted Greeley to capture the
little thief. Davis was caught after run
ming about ten minutes through the alleys
and streets below Fourth street.
When Sparks returned to get the prisoner
he had left in charge of Smith ne found
the 10y had been released. He then placed
Smith under arrest on a charge of re-
fusing to assist an officer in making an ar.
rest. Davis and Chouteau were locked UT
at Central station. The detectives secured
good descriptions of the other boys in the
gang and will arrest all the members as
soon as they can be located. About $aE
worth of copper wire and lead was re.
covered. but the building was damaged
about $500 worth in cutting the stuff out.

THIS BEGGAR HAS LOTS.

cefpts in Real Estate.

Nearly everybody in this city has seen
]. II. Jesse, the deformed beggar who sits
astride a chair on the idewa at the
postofice corner. He sits facing the back
OF the chair. to which is fastened a mouth
organ. a cigar box for coins, and the fol-
lowing placard:
II cannot walk or use my hands. I write
with my mouth"
Jesse's whole appearance is repulsiye in
the extreme. but his helplessness has
brought him charity in plenty
Yesterday he wriggled his way into the
office of County Recorder Queal. at the
court house. and paid for a certified copy
of a deed to two lots which he owns on
Flora avenue. near the Suburban Belt rail-
way. The lots were originally part of the
assets of the defunct Kansas City Safe De-
post and Savings bank. Jesse bought them
last month. paying $500 for them. He has
other property besides these two lots.

case to prostration, and too often to dread
insanity. The mischief that results from
weakened nerves is much greater and more
destructive than most folks even dream OF.
The all-important thing for nervous, run
down persons. and for those who are losing
sleep. is that Paine's celery compound
builds up the whole physical system, and
by improving the digestion and regulating
the nerves it insures sound. refreshing
sleep. &c
In winter most women and many men
lead dollhouse lives. "A tagging appetite, a
disposition to pick atIcthis dish and that.
rather than to eatza square, meal, is among
the early indicationsiof failing health. Then
comes delay in falling. asleep, and the fret
full. uneasy feeling the next day.
Deliverance from such a miserable con-
dition by the use Of Paine's celery COM
| pound has caused men and women from
every section of the United States to write
sincere, hearty words of praise and thank
fulness for this grand invigorator. People
enjoying perfect health sometimes wonder
at this gratitude; but whoever has suffered
from prostration of the nerves, of which
insomnia is one of the symptoms, will UNI
derstand how hard 1t is to overstate the
torment of this condition. And whoever
has been made completely well bN Paine's
celery compound feels that no words can
overstate the joy and gratitude such per-
sons feel.
This is the state of mind of thousands
of nervous. sickly, broken down persons
who lave used Paine's celery compound
and been made well.

HALE COMPANY GOES UNDER.
ChatteI Deed of Trust for F2s,s4O
Placed on Mandatory of Fire

The Hale Harness and Fire Supply Conn
pany gave a chattel deed Of trust yester-
day to Fred Spengler as trustee for all
creditors. The total Indebtedness of the
company is SIS, $40 and s27.SSo of this is to
the Missouri National bank. Mr.. Speng-
Ter is a clerk in the Office of T. B. Wal
lace, receiver of the bank.
The company was incorporated May 20
1894, to manufacture the improvements on
fire fighting apparatus invented ana pat
erfed by George c. Hale, chief of the hre
department of this city The capital stock
of the concern was 5000 divided into 200
shares. Adam j. Armstrong, a contractor
of Westport. owned 100 shares; Lon h:
Hale, brother of Chief Hale, held five. and
BENJAMIN w. Townley, who was president
of the company. held five shares. CHIEF
Hale did not have any stock in the com
pany, but had a contract with 1t by which
he was to get a royalty on his inventions.
The factory was at ia East Third street
II Is said that the company never made
money, and it lost a great deal lately
The chattel deed of trust placed yester-
day covers all the assets of the COM
pany except the contract with Chief Hale.
Unless the amount of the chattel is paid
by March is, Mr.. Spengler will advertise
the business and sell II at auction. The
indebtedness of s27,SS0 to the Missouri Ma

overdraft. The other debts are for small
amounts to different firms. 1t is said that

compound.
Every well informed person knows that
the only trouble with two-thirds of the
men and women whom the coming spring
will claim for its victims is a pitiful lack
of proper nerve food. What these weak,
nervous people need is a more general feed
ing and storing of their blood tissues with
fresh, highly vitaliZed material. They
know that there is nothing that can COM
pare with Prof. Phelps remarkable discov-
cry, Paine's celery compound, for restoring
health and strength.
Mr.. Guerra was not long in finding out
the great reliance to be placed in Paine's
celery compound. Here is his statement,
clear as a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
"At times, when 1 have been seemingly
exhausted from arduous work, Paine's cell
cry compound has been of such benefit to
me that it seems now 1 could hardly have
progressed but for it. When sleep was slow
in coming and my appetite tagged. a gen.
eral toning up of my system followed the
use of the compound. While l am not
versed in things medical, ! do now a fact
when 1 encounter it, and that Paine's cell
cry compound helped me and gave me a
feeling of new strength is a fact.

cRAPPIE BITING FINELY.
Uncle 10 Irwin Rubs His Hands In
reminiscent Gle as He Thinks
of What's in Store.

''This is a perfect day for fishing. es-
pecially If you want to catch %crappie,"
remarked Uncle 10 Irwin yesterday. AS he
spoke he rubbed his hands in reminiscent
glee at the thought of following his favor
lite pastime. 1t has been his favorite way
of spending his leisure hours for the past
half century and in that time he has
watched on the banks OF every water
course, lake or pond in the vicinity of
Kansas City and seldom retired without
getting some fine specimens for his delecta-
ton. ,
"Crappie are biting mighty fine this
spring." he continued. 1T has been a fine
winter and some of my friends who have
been out already tell me Graphic are in
the finest sort of condition and furnish the
best sport they have ever had. Graphic
bite the first of any fish in the spring and
when they are in fine condition they are
game and hooking them in gives a man
plenty of opportunity to cultivate his wits
and use them, too, for they know exactly
how to take care of themselves If the
means used by the fisherman are not strict
ly up to date"
