he couldn't down Bailey and, in The next place, that it
might possibly shut him Of being elected state printer

chine interests that to buck it would cost him directly
the end than he could gain right away At least
here comes pretty plausible explanation from of
his supporters and adherents. The editor Of the Law

Has a LeaVenworth Man Had
Three Wives I'm 2 Years?
Wife No 2. Says She Knows OF
the Third One.
STILL HAS WIFE NO. 1.
He Lived With Two of Them
Less Than 8 Weeks.
One Wife Sued for Divorce But
Failed to Get Lit.

Leaverwort.l Kan. Dec. s.-The
Times says:
If all reports are true, John Howard,
formerly of this city, but now of Kan
sas City. NO., is not only a muchly
married man, but is also having much
trouble in keeping a wife. No. asked
for a divorce from him here he thought
that applying for a. divorce was the
same as obtaining one SO he married
wife No. 2 who heard of wife No. /
and obtained a divorce from him. Now
wife No. 2 asserts positively that How
ard has married wife No. 8, and her
mother went to Kansas City, Mo-, re-
Gently and told wife No. of wife No.
l here from whom Howard had never
been divorced. If this is true wife No.
will either have to leave Howard or
wife No 1 will have him up in the
courts on the charge of bigamy.
The story of Towards martial trou
BILE is a long and rough one. Kate How
ard was the name of wife No. 1. She
married Howard March 2s, 1902. and
applied for a divorce from him April
IS, 1902, but she left him April 81 of
the same year after having been mar
ried to him less than a month She
alleged that he made indecent charges
against her.
The husband in his answer said the
first wife was the mother of one child
by "one Lou Jordan and a second by
THOMAS Cecil" He said she represent
ed herself to be a widow, etc.
After the filing of the petition for a
divorce by No. 1 Howard, either think
ing she had obtained a divorce or be-
cause of his marrying habit, met an
other woman and the result was a mar
riage on July z, 1908. Wife No. lived
with John just few weeks when ii
came to her ears that he had a former
wife living from whom he had never
been divorced so she applied to the
courts for relief. August 81, she filed
her suit, having lived with Howard just
about three weeks, the same length as
did wife No. 1. Howard, she stated, had
represented himself to be a proper per-
son to marry.
Judge fitzpatrick granted wife No.
a divorce on her representations and
assessed the costs against the husband.
He saw that he was getting himself in
to hot water SO hurried to Clerk Ryan's
office and paid the costs and left the
city.
Wednesday former wife No. 2 ap-
peared at the court house and stated
that she had read in a Kansas City
paper that her former husband had
married again, that her father had in
vestfgated the report, ascertained that
1t was true and that her mother had
gone to Kansas City and talked to wife
No. 8. 1t is said she will now file suit
divorced from wife No. l. Former wife
No. 2, who lives at 1927 South Fourth
street, states that she has since heard
that the husband had few other
wives before he married wife No.
here.
All in all John Howard seems to be
having hard time of 1t trying to find
a suitable wife and he may yet get her
if he is not jerl1ed up before the bar of
justice on the charge of bigamy.

Not only is the stomach controlled and

BIG GASSER AT TYRO.
Well Emits Roar That Can Be Heard
for Miles Around.

Coffeyville, Kas., Dec. 3.-What is
doubtless the biggest gas well in Kan
sas or the Indian Territory was struck
by Walker & Canterbury on the Vim
cent farm, two miles south of Tyro
eight miles west of CoffeyvilIe, Thurs
day. 1t is estimated to be flowing
fully 100000 cubic feet of gas
daily, and so far all efforts to cap it
have been fruitless.
The we'll is emitting gas in such a
volume that the roar can be heard for
miles. Huge rocks are being con-
tinually thrown from the mouth, and
the scene resembles the continuous
shooting of an oil well. The workmen
in working about the well and in try
ing to cap it are compelled to go close
to the monster with their arms and
heads swathed in cloths to protect
them The we'll is an interesting sight
and many people for miles around are
going there to see it.
This is not the only big well in the
vicinity. Walker & Canterbury
brought in another monster on the
same land and but a FEW hundred feet
from this No. a week ago. The No
l we'll is estimated to be giving at
least 20, 100000 cubic feet of gas
There seems to be a sudden thickening
and strengthening of the gas sand in
this vicinity.

Generally speaking, the feeling in trade

drawbacks noted being that manufac-
turers are confronted with prospective
high costs of production and the pre-
vailing western drouth renders the out

able at present.

Z. M. Steck of Philadelphia, mill
