Judge Dana took the same view of the
matter as did the wife and issued her
the coveted decree.
Elma Greaser, another farmer's s
wife, asked that she be given a divorce
from her husband on the grounds of
his strenuousness. It seems that her
husband, Philip Greaser, had a habit
of enforcing his demands with shot
gun or a butcher knife or any other
when the occasion for their use arose.
Judge Dana did not consider this style
of enforcing the demands of the head
Of the house to be the proper thing,
and gave the plaintiff the documents
which viii permit her to try the mat

Thy NEW..E0OTBALL.
Arrangements for Washburn's Game
at Wichita Complete.

The post-season game on Christmas
day between the Washburn and Fair

fact.
Word was received here late Tues
day evening by the Washburn manage
ment from the Wichita college agree
ing to the terms asked for by Wash
burn. The. .Washburn team will set
one-half Of the gate receipts and all
expenses paid.
This action on the part of Fair
mount will insure the exhibition game
of football to be played under the new
rules. THE game is now go, said
W. W. Stahl, athletic manager. There
is now no further question. The game
will surely be played on Christmas
The letters giving pointers on the
new rules will be received this week
from Walter Camp, Coach Stagg of

these pointers were sent to the various
football experts of the country by the

The football schedule of the local
college will probably be arranged by
the first of the year. The manager of
the Colorado university eleven will be

DEMOCRATS WIN.
Boston Declares in Favor of Licensing
the Saloons.

Boston, Dec 13.-Democrats were
victorious in Boston. electing former
Congressman John F. Fitzgerald mayor
over three other candidates. Fitzgerald's s
plurality ever his nearest competitor,
Louis a. rockingham, Republican
speaker of the Massachusetts house Of
repres entatives, was $3.50. The vote for
mayor sollows:
John z. Fitzgerald, Democrat, 44,316;
Louis A. rockingham, Republican. 35,
1856; Henry S. Dewey. Independent Re
publican. II, ,637; James A. Watson, Citi-
zen's and Independent Democrat, 515.
The vote was unusually heavy for a
city election, more than $4,000 votes be-
ing cast out of a total registration Of
1000. Two years ago Patrick A. Col
Inns, a Democrat, was reelected by a
plurality Of more than 10000 In the
recent state election the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate carried the city
by plurality of Approximately $4,000.
1t was evident that Fitzgerald did
no receive his full party vote, several
strong Democratic districts giving
rockingham a plurality because Of fac
tiOnal differences.
To complicate the situation, there were
two Republican candidates in the field.
FrOthingham was the regular party
nominee. having defeated Henry 5:
Dewey in the primaries by margin OF
about 200 votes Dewey asserted that
fraud had been practieed at the polls
and declared himself as an independent
candidate.
The city declared in favor Of liquor
license by a large majority.
Municipal affairs for the coming year
were settled in IS Massa acusetts cities
outside of Boston by the election OF
legislative bodies and a choice in Is Of
them of a chief magistrate. While ma
tionaI issues played no part in any OF
the election national political lines were
regarded in all but two of the cities the
Republicans carrying ten and the Dem
ocrats four. Ten mayors were candi-
dates for reelection and six succeeded
in having their administration endorsed.

READY TO TESTIFY
Twenty-four New Witnesses in
Land Fraud Cases.
VIII Appear Before Grand Jury
on Thursday.
EXPECT SENSATIONS.
Officers Say More Startling
Revelations Will Come.
These Apply Directly to Official
Misconduct.

Twenty-four new witnesses nave been
summoned to appear before the federal
grand jury when it reassembIes on
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock to con-
tinue the land fraud Investigations.
Either there. viii be something excep-
tionally startling to tell by about Satur-
day night or there will be a mere for
nal permanent adjournment of the
jury. and the leaving as a legacy the
further probing into the frauds to the
March jury which meets in Wichita or
the April jury which meets in Topeka.
The officials in charge of the investi-
cation hint at some dangerous devel-
opments, that have to do with several
prominent Kansas officers. Whether
they are state or department officials
is not disclosed. Then too it is known
that some past officers are to appear for
explanations of their conduct.
This particular phase of the work
comes up tomorrow morning. 1t re-
quires delicate and tactful handling and
for that reason the federal officials in
charge of the jury are even more de-
termined than ever to prevent any adj
vance information from leaking out. It
is known, however, that the real fraud
features of the matter are now on the
slate to be aired. There are suspected
instances of collusiOn, conniVance and
perjury, but who they affect, or who is
thought to be guilty would be mere
conjecture to forecast.
The jury was called to reassemble
again tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
after its adjournment on Saturday night
It was set late in the week. because it
was thought that its work could be COM
pleted by Saturday night But there
seems to be some doubt about that mat
ter now
Il cannot say" said E. D. AIcKeever,
assistant United States district attorney,
this morning, whether we will finish by
Saturday night or not, The work we
have on now is very important. It de-
pendS too on how our witnesses pan out.
Sometimes, and in fact frequently, in
grand jury work the testimony of one
witness often calls for that of another
for the sake of establishing the chain
Of evidence. Some other matters have
also come up within the past few days
which may make additional work for US
right now. But so far as its nature is
concerned I can say nothing.
Col. A. R. Green, who worked up the
investigation, was asked for an interview
this morning. and replied:
There is absolutely nothing to give out
further than to say that we have lots
of work on our hands-in fact abC9it all
we can do. Everything is going iille.. I
do not know whether the jury will finish
by Saturday night or not. That depends" "

Kenney did not go on the witness stand
and his attorneys introduced no testi-

Mr.. McCamish had expected to make
strong case against Kenney, but
much OF the evidence he had expected
TO introduce in the form of records was
ruled out and many Of the Witnesses
whom he expected to say they had
drank IN the place said they drank
only soda water or did not know who
operated the place. With few excep-
uons the witnesses lodged the ques-
t1ons asked by the state, and while
several Of them said they had seen
Kenney outside. no one testified they
had bought drinks. of him.

Weakness

The action of the heart de-
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart hut-
ters, palpitates, skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smOthering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul-
ders. The circulation is inn
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack of nourish-
ment.

a heart strong and vigorous by
Strengthening these nerves and
muscles.
