A COUPLE REUNITED.
Chief of Police Brings Leavenworth
Man and Wife Together.

Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 81
Through the efforts of Chief of Police
Taylor long estranged couple, one
member of which resides in this city
and the other of which is a resident
of Michigan, will be brought together
again next week when the wife ar
rives in this city in answer to a sum-
mons from the chief of police, who in
terested himself in the woman's case
more than three months ago for the
purpose of determining whether or not
some settlement of the family troubles
might not be arrived at.
The case is one of the many in
which husband and wife become es-
tranged for some trivial reason and in
which neither will take the initiative
in setting matters right.
The husband in question left the
state where he and his wife had lived
and where a son was born to them a
little more than q year ago, and came
to this city where he was employed
infatuated with a woman of evil repu-
tation, refusing to have anything fur
Their to do with his wife and never
even wrote to her or made any effort
to support wife or child.
The woman ultimately learned some
thing of her husband and commune
Gated with Chief Taylor. He COM
municated with the woman in this
city and ordered her to desist from
further relations with the husband. He
then called the runaway before him,
told him how matters stood, and
warned him in regard to his behavior.
The husband was sobdurate, stating
that he would have nothing to do with
his wife and that she probably would
desire to have nothing to do with
him. The chief then wrote to the
wife again. The answer came recently
and the result is that the woman is
to Leavenworth within the
next week to settle matters with her
husband and to again try to live up
to marital vows.
This is the third affair of this sort
that Chief Taylor has been interested
in, and all have terminated happily so
far as can be learned.

1t is Essentially a Successful
Home Remedy and is

Invalid Women Apply by Thous-

Home Treatment by
Letter.

Women are everywhere talking
about Peruna.
ITO be healthy" is the slogan OF
women everywhere. The busy days
have not a moment to be given over
to ill-health. Everyone is seeking a
remedy that will cure.
Peruna, because there are no mar
cotics used in its composition, is a
cure, not a stimulant.
Women tell each other of the won
ders Peruna has wrought. Not only
do they tell but they write of it. and
hundreds of letters, that necessitate a
large force of clerks to assert, reach
DR.. Hartman every day from grateful
have-been patients, but who are now
we'll.
The reason that Peruna is such a
special faVorite with women is some
thing more than all this.
Women are subject to pelvic ca
tarrh.
This condition has been called all
sorts of names and is often referred
to under the general phrase, female
diseases. Peruna cures these cases.
Peruna cures them because it cures
catarrh wherever located. The nature
of most of these ailments is catarrhal.
Catarrh is liable to attack any or
gan of the body. It is especially liza
BILE to attack one or more organs of
the famale pelvis. No wonder wom-
en- talk about Peruna. No wonder
they think it is the greatest medicine
in the world.

The number CT oars just given does
not include harbor boatboys. crews of

thirty-two men each from the Myrtle
and the Healani boat clubs will be in
training for the races between those
organizations on Regatta Day, being
the third Saturday in September, which
this year is the 18th of the month
Events expected to be set for the

sixty-four rowers mentioned. Club
races will be spread over the day. in

to maintain the popular interest from

Peculiar interest attaches to the

its being the premier contest of the

handsomest trophies ever put up for

DR.. SCUDDER breaches
ON IDEALS AND IDOLS

Yesterday DR.. Scudder closed his ser
vice of twelve weeks with Central
Union church. His morning sermon
had for its text the 18th verse of the
1s5th Psalm, They that make them
shall be like unto them; yea. everyone
that trusteth in them In the course
of his remarks he said:
The main purpose of nay half hour
with you this morning is to induce you
to ask and answer the question. AT
what am 1 aiming my life?' It is quite
easy to cherish the notion that one is
striving for high ends when every exer-
ton is being put forth to secure lower
ones. One of the greatest services that
Christ renders every faithful disciple
consists in constantly presenting him
with in~tantaneous photographs of his
true self-nashlights taken at moments
when questionable scenes in the inner
life show what the real man is.
Granted now that you have duly
found and cataIoged your true aim,
place upon it the inscription This is
my ideal! Ideal. idol, how near these
words are in etymology and meaning!
My aim in life is my ideal, my idol.
my Cod Does the thought make you
uncomfortable? It is true, though, is
it not? Here then comes this ancient
poet whose beautiful poem we read to-
gatter a few moments ago and who had
eyes TO see realities. He describes the
patient work of men carving out idols
Of wood and stone. or silver and gold. +.
Then in eloquent phrase he choruses- !
They that make them shall be like un-
10 them The man becomes a replica
If his idol.
You may achieve your purpose, you
may reach your aim, you may carve
,ut your idol exactly according to pat /
tern or you may miserably fail. But
irrespective of success or defeat. while
rou chip away at the image, you your
self are being carved out. That is the

rowed over again. The Myrties de-
clining to accept the decision did not
come TO time. when the Healanis pull
ing over the course were awarded the
race. In 1902 the Myrtles won and last
year the Healanis.
The regatta committee. at present
consisting of c. c. Rhodes. w. H.
soper and w. W. Harris, Will in ali
probability hold meeting the first
week in September and arrange the
whole program for Regatta Day. Mr..
Harris a leading Myrtle man, on be-
ing asked for information about the.
prospects of the day, said;
The Myrtles have four six-oared
crews rowing now. The practice so
far has been for four six-oared barge
races and two pair-oared races.
There will be no four-oared races
unless the regatta committee take up
the question of four-oared shell races.
The principal objection to these is that
the course is really unsuitable for shell
races. At the best there would have
to be turn at the lighthouse, which
would be Objectionable. However If it
can be arranged we shall have a couple
of four-oared shell races.
'It is the intention of the regatta
committee to have as many races be-
tween the two clubs as it is possible
to get up. Thirty-two men in each
club sill be in training within few
days, being respectively six men for
each of the four barge races and four
men for each of the two four-oared
shell races.
1T means a whole lot of new mate
rial in the clubs this year which will
show up in the Healani-Myrtle races.
There will be more sport for the pub
lie. of the kind on which popular in
terest has heretofore been concentrat-
ed. The committe has found that after
the regular club races were over the
crowd seemed disposed to go away By
spreading the club contests throughout
the program, it is hoped to make full
days sport OF it,
