STRANGE CASE OF MIR. DEEMING

Former Twentieth Kansas Lieuten-
ants Side of Unpleasant Affair.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Dec. 12.-(Special. y
Lieutenant John j. Deeming, against whom
a serious charge is made by Miss Tena
Leonard of Council Bluffs, is still held a
prisoner here. Habeas corpus proceedings
were instituted in the probate court to Sc
cure his release, but were dismissed by
Judge Thomas on the ground that he had
no jurisdiction. An effort will now be made
to secure his release on writ in the cir
cult curt.
Deemiug returned from the Philippines
with the Twentieth Kansas regiment, in
which he was a second lieutenant. He
had known the Council Bluffe young woman
before he removed with his parents to To-
peka and went into the army. He denies
that he ever promised to marry Miss Leon
ard. Soon after Deeming departed for the
Philippines with his regiment he says the
girl wrote to his parents, who now live
here, and informed them that she had been
secretly married to him at Council Bluffs.
The parents of Deeming believed her and
accepted her as a daughter n-law until
they heard from their son. He wrote to
his parents that he had never thought Of
marrying her
Miss Leonard still insisted that they were
married, however, and during his absence
vieited his parents here. Deeming says he
now has the letters in which she told his
father and mother that she was the wife of
their SON. When the young man returned
from the Philippines the young woman came
to the city on visit to the Deeming fam"
lily and still asserted she was the wife Of
the young man. On previous visit to
his parents she was accompanied by her
mother. On the occasion of her last visit
Deeming refused to remain in the same
house with her at night, but went to
hotel while she was a guest at his home.
The young woman returned to Council Bluffs
after a short visit and swore out the war;
rant charging Deeming with having de-
ceived her under promise of marriage

Weaker paler, thinner day by day, no ap-

conditions of countless numbers of half

weak bodies-makes people strong, quiets
the nerves, restores ambition, drives head
ache away, gives you an appetite, Sweetens
the stomach and breath, and forever re-

blood and disordered liver, it will be plain
to you.
Dr. Dix Tonic Tablets, first of all, aid the
kidneys. Next they purify the blood, get
ting into every big and little vein in the
body, driving all impurities out of the sys-
tenn Finally they regulate the liver per-

exactly as nature intended In doing these
three things, it removes the cause of nearly
all the ills of men and women.
