Macon, Mo-, Sept. 9.-W.O.L.
Jewett, editor of the Shelbina
Democrat, who was appointed
chairman of the editorial grand
jury" to look into the habite of
certain members of the Missouri
Press Association, was in Macon
to-day.
The committee has not yet begun
its investigations yet" said Mr..
Jewett, but we will get to work
before long. Just after the ad-
iOurnment at st. Louis we met and
formulated a plan upon which we
will proceed No, l can't tell you
our method. That would perhaps
defeat the object. We are not
limited to the three editors whose
names are so conspicuously men
toned at st. Louis for investiga-
ton. There may be others. We
don't know what we may stir mp
when tke work is started, but the
committee will do its best to fol-
low the spirit of the resolution to
the letter. The association cannot
afford to number among its mem
bers a man whose honesty is the
least bit questioned. The com
mittee will endeavor to be fair in
its investigations and thorough,
realizing how important its finding
will be to the men suspected. 1t
will report at the next annual meet
ing of the association. +"
The committee sitting as eourt
win summon witnesses, request
the production of documents aud
proceed as near as possible like an
ordinary tribunal of justice.

Albert Lehnen-I went to town
with Ruby Kennett Tuesday. She
never said a word about Reynolds.
About 5 O'Clock Reynolds looked
strange and peculiar out Of his

jolly, the same as usual. We
were together myself and Reyn-
olds)all day.
Bert West-ReynOlds told me
he was going to Mexico by him
self on the 9Th of Sept. and would
break somebody's heart and create
some excitement. He told me
good-by Tuesday night and said
he had been mistreated and would
not see me again. Ruby would
sometimes give him a short an.
swer and he would look angry
They talked little while privately
but l did not hear any thing they
said. He said he was going t
town and show the people who he
was. Reynolds and Ruby werc
considered sweethearts and hat
been for some time. They had NJ
enemies that I ever heard Of
heard Mr.. Kennett had forbidden
Reynolds to come on the place.
7. j. Kennett, father of Ruby
on being recalled, said he had nev
er told Reynolds personally, bu
had said it to his family. Rub.
said to her father that she onl
tiiked him as a friend and had n
intention of m arrying him. Reyr

wonderful remedy. One month ago,
finding some of the old symptoms re-
turning l purchased 50c bottle of

teaspoonful of small gravel stones and
sand, the passing of which was imme"

UNDER FIRE
Husband in Nepper Divorce Suit
WiIted Under Damaging
Testimony.
Failed TO MAKE ANY DEFENSE.

The divorce case of Nepper against
Nepper, which came up from Osna-
burg, and which was productive Of so
much disgusting and nauseating testi-
mony, was terminated SO far as the
testimony was concerned Tuesday
evening. The husband, Elias Nepper,
who was the defendant, retreated un-
der fire, the pressure becoming too
great for him. He stood his ground
until the noon recess of the court, be-
ing there with his attorney J. B. Sny-
der, but upon the reassembling Of the
court he failed to appear, and no de-
fense was made.
The children in the family were put
upon the stand and corroborated all
that was testified to by the mother,
the oldest daughter telling even. more
than the wife had Of his cruel treat
ment. A number of character witness
es were examined who testified to the
fact that they had never heard tho
woman's chastity questioned by any
one except the husband. Judge Am
bier took the matter under advise
ment. Attorney M. j. Braucher coa-
Quoted the case for the plaintiff.
TWO HUSBANDS.
Joseph Galloway, of Massillon,
charges that his wife, Maud A. Gala
way, had another husband living
when he married her. of which he had
no knowledge, and that not satisfied
with the two husbands she is at pres
ent living with some other man at
Addiston, Ohio, whose name he has
not been able to ascertain.
They were married in Maysville
Ky, in 1898, and have no children
When the husband discovered the
fact that husband No. 1 was in ex.
istence he separated from the woman
and has brought an action to annu
the supposed marriage contract He
