Renders Reconciliation Impossible.
Especial to Washington Post.l

Especial to Washington Post.l
Omaa, Neb., March S.-During the
course of his deDositin in his petition
for divorce, William f. Cody, (Buffalo
BID today declared that he could
not accept any reconciliation with
Mrs. Cody, and declared he would
have absolutely nothing to do with
her in the future. This declaration
was made as the result, Colonel Cody
stated, of Mrs. Cody having charged
him with being the murderer of their
daughter Arta, and announcing pub
liely that she would denounce him
over her grave.
Attorney Ridgley, for Col. Cody,
stated that Mrs Cody had not been
sincere in her expressed wish for q
reconciliation, and in making it had
placed such conditions on her accept
ance of such an event as to preclude
any chance of cody accepting them.
Ridgley stated that the colonel had
sent DR.. Powell to Mrs. Cody in the
hope of adjusting their differences,
and that she had received Powell in
a manner that made it impossible for
Cody to further consider any over
lures from her or to himself make
any.

A GREAT BLESSING
Rum Cursed HumaLity's

Mr.. T. R. Hooks, of Fremont, Writes
His Own Experience and Wishes

Benefited.

In a letter to The Kelley Institute
Greensboro, N. c., Mr.. T. K. HOOKS
says:
It affords me great pleasure indeed
to say a few words in praise of your
grand institution 1t is, in my opinion,
one of the greatest blessings rum
cursed humanity has ever had bestow-
ed on it. and / think my own expert
ence will bear me out in this assertion.
/ took my first drink when l was about
twelve years Of age and kept it up for
over twenty-five years, gradually
growing worse until | became a con-
frmed drunkard. I would neglect my
business, my home, and my loved
ones in my effort to get whiskeY. and
became SO bad and degraded that my
friends dcspaired of my ever becom-
ing a man again, and expected / would
soon fill a drunkard's grave. Finally,
as a last resort, | was persuaded to
try your treatment and in January,
1903, | entered your Institution to be
treated for the whiskey habit. l staid
there four weeks, and the results were
beyond my widest hopes. | left there
a new man, entirely cured, and my
thirst for whiskey totally destroyed.
1t has now been about two years since
graduated from the Kelley Institute
Greensboro, N. c., and today l have
more thirst for liquor than the day
r left Greensboro, cured. / feel that
what it has done for me is beyond ex-
preston. My one regret is that all
who are afflicted cannot take the
treatment.
