Samuel ClarkSOn,- young English
man who had paid her marked at
tention, also dropped out of sight and
it was reported and generally believed
that the couple had eloped and been
married.
Last night came the news from
Montreal that the missing pair had
been married. by a Catholic priest in
that city. and then had returned to
New York and sailed for Europe
Today comes the publication here
of an unqualified statement from Ar
thur Herbert Osborne, a young broker
of this city, that Miss Maloney is his
wife. According to Osborn's state
ment, he and Miss Maloney were mar
ried on December %, 1905, and the
marriage never has been annulled.
Osborn declares that records in the
notary's office at Mamaroneck which
show that Herbert Osborn had married
Helen Eugene on that date will prove
his statement. He said that aSSume q
names were used because at the time
Miss Maloney desired to keep the
marriage a secret. The fact that the
marriage had taken place did become
known, however. according to Osborn,
and he declares that among those who
learned of it was young Clarkson. He
says that not only did Clarkson know
of the maria ge, but that only a short
time ago he sought to have it an
nulled, having gone so far as to con-
suit a New York lawyer on the sub
ject.
Osborn was a student in Princeton
when the marriage with Miss Ma
loney is alleged to have taken place.
He said today that after the ceremony
the young woman returned to her
home while he remained with her
parents. There were frequent meet
ings and when the young woman sail
ed for Europe with her family last
January, he was at the pier and bid
them good bye During her stay
abroad she wrote him frequently. He
has not seen her since she sailed in
January, however, as he was unable
to meet the steamer when the Malon-
eys returned, and something always
happened to prevent their keeping
several engagements made after her
her by telephone, however. he said,
the last time on the Saturday before
she disappeared.
Osborn is the son of the late Will
liam E. Osborn for many years an Of
ficer in the American Sugar company.
He is twenty-three years old, an only
child and a fortune will come to him
at the death of his mother

EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Use Without Cook
ing.

Almost everyone likes a cereal food
or some kind at breakfast and supper,
out the ordinary way of cooking ce-
reals results in pasty mass that is
hard to digest, and if not properly d.
gested, the raw mass goes down into
the intestinal tract where gas is gen.
Grated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body well,
while poor food, or even food of good
quality that is poorly prepared and
not digested. is sure to bring on some
kind of disease
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory. some IL to 16 hours be-
ing consumed in the different process
ses of preparation. The food, there
fore. is ready for instant service and
of Sugar, so that it is pre-digested and
ready for almost immediate absorp-
ton
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from fndiges-
ton and dyspepsia from the use of
food that was not suitable to her pow
ers of digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts, and I
confess to having had prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
finally decided to try the food, but I
have not known what indigestion is
since using it, and have never been
stronger or in better health 1 have

People can be well. practically with
out cost, if they will adopt scientific
food and leave off the indigestible
sort. There's a Reason
Grape-Nuts Food is crisp and deli
cious to the taste. 1t should be serv-
ed exactly as it comes from the pack

PIGG PLEADS GUILTY.
Will Get on Easily for Attempting to
Bride Jurors.

Aaron T. Pigg pleaded guilty in the
district court yesterday 30 misde-
meanor charging his with attempting
to tamper with a jury. His plea came
as something of a surprise for he had
been accused of a felony for attempting
to bride jurors who sat on the case of
his brother, Robert Pigg, last spring
when the latter was convicted of vio-
lating the prohibitory law in the con-
duct of the famous Coronado club.
When Pfgg's case was called for trial,
his attorney, Otis E. Hungate, made
lengthy argument for continuance of
the trial of the case until the next term
of the court. He argued that Pigg
could not get fair and impartial trial
from the jury sitting at this term of
the court because of the fact that the
members of the jury had sat in the trial
of Ransom Pigg, younger brother of
the defendant, and found him guilty of
stealing more than 800 from cousin
of his who was visiting the Pigs last
spring, and thac there was evidence ad-
duced al the Ransom Pigg trial which
would tend to prejudice the members of
the jury at the Aaron Pigg trial.
Judge Dana took this mater under adj
visement for an hour or SO but when it
came time for him to make his decision
MI. Hungate announced that his client
was willing TO plead to a misdeneanor
charge for tampering with members of
q jury. It was agreeable to the county
attorney that plea of this sort be ac-
cepted and Judge Dana accepted it.
1t was the understanding that in the
acceptance of the plea Pigg agreed to
pay 10 the county the costs in the case
which will run up to nearly $500 Then
he is subject to a fine and imprison-
ment which will be announced by Judge
Dana in two or three days and which
will probably be a term of imprisonment
Of two months in Jail and fine of 5000 In
addition to the assessment of the costs
Pigg got wind of the fact that this
Jury bribery charge was to be made
against him and hiked from town 10

Sheriff Wilkerson and from Kansas CITY

finally placed under arrest and brought

 about ::Grape-Nuts

"A short time ago was called to a patient who had been given up by his physician.
 His stomach would not bear food. and consequently he got no nourish- ment and was slowly dying from ex- haustion.
 He was reduced to skin and bones. I immediately put him on Grape-Nuts food and Postum Food Coffee. He could keep both articles on his stomach and neither caused him any pain. He has been using both the food and the cereal coffee and has gained rapidly"
 The reason a delicate stomach can take Grape Nuts food Is that it is pre- digested by natural means during It's preparation. and even small babe can handle 1t as it causes no heavy work by the stomach and digestive ap- paratus; on the contrary. being pre- digested, 1t is quickly assimilated into blood and tissue.
 Grape Nuts as well as Postum Food Coffee contains elements selected from the grains of the field that are of first importance to the human body in nourishing and rebuilding it.
