DIVORCE STORY IS DENIED
Mrs, Backwith, nee Lincoln, Not Separated
From Her Husband,

Mrs, b eckwith, nee Lincoln, Not Separated
From Her Husband,
Mount Pleasant, Ia, Dec. 26.-The
story concerning the alleged divorce
Of Warren Beckwith from his wife,
formerly Miss Jessie Lincoln, is be
lieved here to be nonsense. Those
who are near to both persons directly
concerned pronounce the whole affair
a flake" Beckwith has a good job
in the Burlington railroad office at
Creston. He passed through here a
few evenings ago on his way to Chi
cago, where, it is said, he will spend
the holidays with his wife. The
couple win return here for a few days
visit with relatives before going ON to
Creston, their future home.
For the past few days Mrs. Robert
Lincoln has been in New York with
her daughters, Mrs. Beckwith, and
little granddaughter, who was taken
down with scarlet fever and Quaran-
tined in the Fifth Avenue hotel. The
child recovered and the Lincolns will
spend the holidays in Chicago. County
Clerk Miller says that no paper OF
pleading of any kind has been filed in
court here concerning the alleged
divorce case or having the remotest
connection with it.

Police Start Their Work in Search
ing Out Gambling Dens and
Make Four Arrests.
THE KEEPER PAYS A HEAVY FINE
James Nicholson and Three Companions
Arrested While Playing Poker in Room
over Petersen Saloon, Main Street.

Kenosha gamblers did not have a
very merry Christmas, as the police of
the city made raid on one of the dens
on Monday evening and a keeper and
three inmates were forced to contrib
ute to the fund of Justice Slater to the
amount of over fifty dollars.
The game was quiet little one and
was being operated by James Michel
son in room over the Petersen saloon
on Main street. Monday evening the
police received tip that the game was
going on and that pretty big money
was on the table and Chief of Police
O'Hare and officer Joe Ortiz at once
went to the place. They experienced
little difficulty in getting in, as it had
been so long since the gambling dens
were raided that the gamblers had
grown exceedingly bold. When the
police went into the room all the men
were busi1y engaged in playing the old
American gains Of poker. They made
an effort to get away, but the place
was closely guarded by the police and
the men at once surrendered. They
were at once placed under arrest, all
the men save Nicholson giving fcti-
tious names. They were taken before
Justice Slater at once and all plead
guilty to charge of gambling. Mich
e1sen, was fined $40 and the costs of the
action, while his companions were let
off with a,fine of So and costs. Ali the
fines were paid.
This is only the first of series of
raids that will be made by the police
and the Chief declares that he will
make every effort to close every gam
bling house operating in the city.
The condition of the room and the
small number at the game seems to in
dictate that the gamblers did not reap a
Christmas harvest in 'Kenosha. The
police had expected to find at least
twenty men in the den. None of the
other places were raided Monday even
ing, as it was stated that none of them
were in operation.

TALL CORN

doesn't come by accident. A
fertile soil and careful cultiva-
ton are necessary to produce
the towering stems and heavy
ears.
Yet the farmer who under
stands that he can't have
healthy corn crop without
feeding and wedding, seems
to think that he can have
healthy body without either
care or culture. But the body
is built up just as the corn is,
by the assimilation of the
several chemical elements on
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are to the corn,
diseases of the stomach and
nutritive systems are to the
body; they divert the neces-
sary food supply from the
proper channels, and the
body becomes lean, sickiy
and i11-nourished.
The proper digestion and
assimilation of food is a pri-
mary essential of health. By
healing diseases of the stom-
ach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery increases
the digestive and assimilative
powers, stimulates the action
of the blood making glands,
and sends to every organ of the
body the rich red-corpuscled
blood on which physical vigor
and vitality depend.
vI took two bottles of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, for stomach trouble" writes
Clarence Carnes, Esq, of Taylors-
town, Loudoun Co., Va. "It did
me so much good that I didn't
take any more. I can eat most
anything now. I am so we'll
pleased with it hardly know how
to thank you for your kind infor-
nation. I tried a whole lot of
things before I wrote to you.
There was a gentleman told me
about your medicine, how it had
cured his wife. I thought would
try a bottle of it. Am now glad
that I did, for 1 don't know what
I would have done if it had not

After hearing Captain Parsons story the
officials again said that they did not
believe 10 possible that the Californian
could bs ashore and for the second time
returned to bed.
But the stories from the Cape shors Of
the ship which could be indistiuctly seen
OF the Ham island ledge and which was
evidently In distress kept the newspaper
men guessing. Towboat captains we're
pulled out Of bed, crsws Of thess boats
hunted up and several expeditions were
in the way of equalization to ma ks an
investigation Of the reports when-at three
o'clock or theresbouts q boat reached
shore from the Californian.

Heath, whose teat IL on Munjoy hill,
heard them among others and soon To-
Gated a bright light which burnsd stead

CushinG's Island. At about the same time
other police officers on Commercial
street and ths Waterman about the
Grand Irupk docks heard the explosions
and saw the light and the rockets and In
very short time the news was flying over
the telephone wires that o ship Of some
kind was ashore on Cushing's island or
.on the Cape.
In the newspaper offices there was a
lively hustling Of reporters towards the
wnter front and the operator in the tsls-
phone exchange called mp the Caps ELI

to the men thers that a ship was In dis

Treble telephoned into the city that big

were awake and heard the news in
creased. It did not seem possible that a
ship could 90 ashore 10 such q gale with

her going to pisoss and no danger OF hsr
