BAN ON LAX DIVORCES.
Supreme Court Passes ON the Validity
in One State of Decreea Grant
cd in Other States.

Washington, April 16.-Hundreds
Of divorces granted by the courts OF
the Dakotas and other states where
there has been a similar laxness in
judicial matters have been declared
invalid by the supreme court OF the
United States. The Dakota DEGREES
are not the only ones that are upset
by any means, for in nearly every
state in the union DEGREES have been
granted to plaintiffs whose actual
legal places of residence were in other
states. In hundreds of other cases
it is asserted, subsequent marriages
are invalid.
The court held practically that in
cases in which the decree is granted
in states where the husband and wife
have made their legal residence it is
valid in any part of the United
States, but that in other cases in
which there is no legal residence in
the state in which the decree is
granted they are invalid.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
A Veteran Of the Civil War, Tells an
Interesting Story.

bingham, ILL.,, April % (SpeciaD-
-Uriah S. Andrick is now 67 years Of
age. Mr.. Andrick served through the
whole of the Civil War. He was wound
ed, three times by ball, and twice by
bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1861, he was hale and
hearty, and weighed 1913 pounds. Since
the close of the war, however, Mr.. An
drick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also,
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1000, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self He COM
menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on
the goth of last December, and on Feb.
goth was again weighed, and weighed
146 pounds. He says:
II have spent hundreds of dollars
and received no benefit, until on the
Goth of December last, purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am
cured, and an free from any pain. I
have not the slightest trace of the
Bright's Disease, and can sleep we'll
all night. I was considered hopeless
case by everybody, but to-day am a
well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
"Tor the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she COM
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman, her pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
"She is so taken up with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr.. Cornwcll's
Drug Store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make q
mistake and get something else."
There is something very convincing
in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis
case, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.
