CODY SEEKS A DIVORCE.
Noted Frontiersman Makes Serious
Charges Against His
Wife,

North Platte. Neb.. Feb. 13.-William
F. Cody (Buffalo Bid has instituted
proceedings against Louisa Cody for
divorce on the grounds that she has
been guilty of cruelty. has tried to poi
son him, has refused to entertain his
friends at their home in this city and
in other ways has made the marriage
tie intolerable. The complaint charg-
ing these offenses was filed in the Dis
trict Court of Big Horn county. Wyo-
ming. January 9th and until last week
was suppressed.
The couple have lived together for
thirty eight years and five children
have been born of the union. They
were married when Buffalo BIZ was
a government scout and before Ned
Buntline. the blood and thunder nov
elist. had given his peculiar sobriquet
such prominence by making him the
hero of the battles, sieges, fortunes
and hair-breadth escapes with which
his novels dealt.
1t is said that an interesting legal
fight will be waged and that the wife
will oppose the divorce. She is held
in high esteem by the people of North
Platte Wednesday night prairie fire
threatened her dwelling and the citi-
Zens turned out en- masse to fight back
the flames.
81 have never been on the trips my
husband took abroad" said Mrs. Cody.
Il have frequently asked him to take
me, but he has always had an excuse.
His sister, who lives on the estate in
Wyoming, has wanted him to get di-
vorce and he has listened to her until
he was persuaded against his reason.
VIII is a generous man and If had
him to myself we could settle 1t all.
| hear he wanted to divorce me to
marry another woman
Mrs. Cody is Catholic and she has
not asked for divorce because OF the
principles of her faith.

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March l4.-One
of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that of
the three-year-old daughter of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her. she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
Of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set In and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and a half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child. running and playing us il
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach OF medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life, when she was SO far
into the chronic stage OF Brights
Disease that we thought nothing could
save her."

University Trade School.

Denver, March 14.-Chancellor w.
H. Buchtel of the University of Dem
yer is out with letter advocating the
establishment of a trade school in Den
yer in connection with the University.
He says:
Another ten acres Of campus will
be devoted to the Preparatory School
and the Trade School. provided any
public interest is manifested in the es-
tablshment and maintenance of
trade school in Denver. We could be-
gin that work at once and could be
ready to receive students into an ade-
quately equipped trade school by Sep
tember next, provided the people of
Denver really cared to have 1t. 1t is
infinitely more expensive for the state
to XIII boy than it is to save him to
a lie of usefulness and honor; and if
we persist in killing boys by neglect
and Indifference the heart of the ma
tion will collapse by fatty degenera-
ton.
If the people of Denver are really
wishing to do something practical for
boys the Denver University Will at
once take up this work.

CULTURE OF THE OYSTER.

After many years of persistent effort
science seems to have conquered the
art of propagating artificially the de-
licious oyster. What part of the mon
ey usually coined from propagating
trusts has been diverted into this use
full channel is not known. but certain
ly New Jersey deserves praise for the
innovation.
Professor Julius Nelson. biologist for
the State Bureau of Shell Fisheries,
which has only been in existence a
few months, has worked out a method
of producing and propagating oyster
germs or seeds, and the process seems
to be quite simple as well as very in
teresting.
After preparing a sufficient quanti-
ty of spermatized water, few min
utes suffice to complete the fertiliza-
tion. The water is then drawn Off
and put into clear water. the opera
tion being repeated several times. The
zone occupied by the eggs is soon seen
and in about an hour, at temperature
of eighty degrees, the development of
the eggs begins.
In few hours the eggs have SO de-
veloped that they show positive signs
of life, and then they are let into a
tank, covered with sand, and exposed
to every high tide. Thus, step by step.
through processes known to fish hatch
ers. young oyster bed is formed.
which may be extended indefinitely.
One bucketful of spawn, it is said.
would supply all the material a man
could use for extensive planting, and
If Professor Nelson can turn the tide
of New Jersey enterprise so as to
raise oysters artiticially instead of
trusts, he will have done the world
great service.-Boston Globe.

THIN DIET.
No Nourishment In II.

It's not easy to keep up when cof-
fee has SO ruined the stomach that
food won't digest.
A Mo. woman says: II had been
an invalid for two years from stomach
trouble caused by coffee, got so bad l
couldn't digest food and for quite a
while lived on milk and lime water
nothing but that-a glass of milk
and lime water six times a day. In
this way l managed to live, but OF
course did not gain.
"It was about months ago I be-
gan using Postum Food Coffee; did
not need the milk and lime water
after that, for l gained rapidly and 1
can now eat a good meal and drink
from / to cups of Postum each meal
and feel fine.
Il would not go back to coffee for
any reasonable pay. l like Postum
better than coffee now and make Pos
tum by directions on box and 1t is
Just fine; never found a better way to
make 1t than on box. Now this is all
true and you can easily prove it."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum is brew from field grains
with all the nourishment left in. It
makes red blood and rebuilds partic-
ularly well where coffee has done
damage as it does to nearly all who
drink it.
A 10 days trial of Postum in place
of coffee works wonders. There's
reason.

don was discovered buried in an old
