STOOPS is RELEASED.
Accumulated Property While
In Prison by Aid of Wife.

Henry Stops was released from the
Kansas state penitentiary yesterday
morning, where he had been sent from
Shawnee county to serve three years for
the alleged abduction of a 14-year-old
girl. He went to Kansas City, taking
with him a horse and buggy, two wagon
loads of furniture and twenty-five or
thirty head of cattle, all accumulated
during his term in prison.
Stops was originally from Chicago
and is q. rOOfer by trade. He was at
work at Topeka when he met a young
girl and the two became enamored of
each other. When his work was fin
ished he started back for Chicago, tax
ing one train, while the girl, whom he
had provided with money, took an
other.
Friends of the girl caused a warrant
to be issued for his arrest and he was
brought back to Topeka upon a requi-
sition. Prior to his first going to To-
peka he had lived in Chicago with a
woman who passed as his wife and
who was the mother of his two children.
He had married the young girl who fol-
lowed him to Chicago, and an attempt
was made to try him on the charges of
bigamy and abduction This did not
prove successful, for the Chicago wo
man came west and swore that they
We're not married. The charge of abduc-
ton was pushed, conviction resulted,
and he was sentenced to three years at
Lansing.
The woman who swore that she was
not his wife to save him from the pen
itentiary followed him and took up her
home beneath the shadow of the gray
stone walls, her love never faltering for
the man who had won her in her girl
hood days.
Stops soon won the good will of the
prison officials, was made a trusty, ana
had permission to go and come almost
as he pleased. He was not long in the
fa11 q nv h0f h0 nj
ties to improve the worldly condition
of those who were waiting for his re-
lease. He probably had a little money
laid away before getting into trouble
and this was judiciously invested by
the woman who Swore she was not his
wife, under his direction. Prosperity
smiled upon every effort and it was
not long before stock began to accum-
ulate around the woman's little home.
Several iudiciOuS hay and other con-
all directed by the convict and carried
out by the woman, until the invest
ments resulted in a nice bunch of cattle
and we'll furnished house.
In the meantime the girl for whom
Stops lost his liberty, like others of
her class, forsook him. A divorce was
applied for and obtained and she has
drifted beyond the knowledge of former
prison officials.
For days prior to the date of release
preparations were made for leaving and
shortly after Stops left the barred
gates the four, reunited. were driving
toward Kansas City, while two heavily
loaded teams carried their household
goods, and men drove the herd. AS the
party was leaving Lansing it met a
former prison official, to whom the man
and woman stated they were the hap
piest beings on earth.
The little family will locate in a new
home and forget the episode which
darkened a portion of their lives.

IS JULIA MARLOWE NOW.
Divorce and Restoration of Maiden
Name Granted the Actress

Burlington, VT, Jan. S.-The petition
of Julia Marlowe Taber for a divorce.
heard recently before Chief Justice Taft
in the La Noble county court, was
granted in a session of court held at
Hyde park Saturday afternoon. The
bill is granted for intolerable severity.
Alimony of SO, 900 is granted by stipula-
ton. The petitioner is granted the
right to resume the name of Julia Mar
lowe.
According to Mrs. Taber's complaint
professional jealousy on the part of her
husband led to their estrangenlent. They
had been playing leading parts in the
same company and on the mornings af-
ter the performances the breakfast
hour was unhappy. The newspapers
were read and Mrs. Taber says their
comments usually enraged her husband
because of the more favorable reports
given his wife. These finally led to such
outbursts that once he tipped the table
over, and on two other occasions he
seized her by the throat and shook her.
Taber is a graduate of Princeton. He
was Julia Marlowe's leading man be-
fore he married her six years ago. They
appeared together for two seasons; then
the "Taber'' disappeared from Julia
NarloWe'S name on the billboard and
she was starring in America while he
was with Sir Henry Irving in London.
He did not contest the suit for divorce.
Both are about 80 years old.

NOTHING BUT FACTS.
no Deception Used In Talking
About Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
The Arguments In Their Favor Come
From People Who Have Tested
Their Merits.

There is no deception in anything we
publish about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids.
All our statements about Morrow's
Kid ne-oids are facts and from people
right here in Topeka. People in all
walks of life are using Kid-ne-oids be-
cause they cure backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness and general debility in
cases where other remedies have failed.
Here is a statement which we ask
you to read from DR.. J. H. Goodwin,
the dentist at 607 Kansas avenue. DR..
Goodwin says: 81 got a package of
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and used them
according to the directions and was
greatly relieved of lumbago of about
four years standing. One box of Kid
ne-Oids completed a cure and there has
ben no return of my trouble since. I
consider MorroW'S Kid-ne-oidS a spec
ific for rheumatism in the lumbar re-
gions. I have also used Morrow's Iiv-
erlax with the most gratifying results
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets and are put up in
wooden boxes which contain enough for
about two weeks treatment and sell
at fifty cents box at all drug stores.
Morrow's Liverlax are small red gran
ules and sell at twenty-five cents per
box. They cure constipation.

LONDON RATES DECLINE.
Drop Is Due to Large Loans Nego-
tiated by the Government.

New York Jan. 8.-The London finan-
cial correspondent of the Times cables:
A fortnight ago bankers were buying
bills from brokers at 81 per cent Sat
urday they could get them for a little
over per cent. Sunday parcels were
sold by brokers to bankers at AZ per
cent but money was so abundant that
loans for a week could be arranged at
from to 312 per cent and discount
houses then preferred to carry paper
they had taken and run the risk of the
market themselves.
So complete a change looks and is
unhealthy, but it is easily accounted for
The government had to borrow divl-
dend money from the Bank of England
and other moneys besides, for war pur-
poses. All this is new credit and pro-
duces quite a different effect from the
release of credit. previously withdrawn
from the market by the collections of
taxes. Further, the bank retained all
it's imported gold last week so that its
reserve was much strengthened. On the
other hand, the high rates for money
have checked the creation Of new in
struments of credit and reduced the
volume of speculation so that the re-
quirements of the market are smaller.
No wonder, then, that rates have tun-
bled down, or that they should look like
going lower still. Had the government
been able to wait till Saturday or to-
day before selling it's last creation of
treasury bills it would have saved q
considerable per centage of the rate
paid.
Violent fluctuations Of this kind are
not the prelude to steady ease and are
sure to be followed by another sharp
reaction, but for all that those are the
natural results of circumstances. The

is not believed that the entire law will
ever be repealed 1t is estimated that
the law produces 100 million dollars
year above the normal receipts of the
government. The estimate for this fis-
cal year is that there will be surplus
of about 40 million dollars in the treas
ury. If the war revenue act had beeHs
repealed at the last session of congress,
however, the probable surplus would
have been turned into a deficit of some
thing like 60 million dollars a year.
When the war expenses, owing to the
troubles in the Philippines, are cut
down. the treasury surplus will be so
large as to require action to diminish
the income of the government. Changes
in the war revenue act will be the
means of decreasing the receipts.
