FIRE FIGHTER
IS UNDER FIRE
Assistant Chief Deering Sued
for Divorce for
Cruelty.

Augustus Deering, assistant chief
engineer of the Honolulu Fire De-
partment, is defendant in a divorce
suit brought by Mary n. Deering.
They were married September %, 1905,
but it is stated in the libel that for
several years prior to that time they
sustained toward each other the COM
mon law relation of husband and wife.
Two daughters and one son constitute
their progeny.
Cruelty is charged against Deering
in that he has been absenting himself
from home for more than a year, ex-
cept that about once a fortnight he
would appear On these visits he
would stay from ten to twenty min
utes, but refuse to have conversation
with his wife. Instead he put in the
feeting moments by calling his wife
vile epithets, such as would make this
paper unavailable if it printed the
language.
Mrs. Deering represents that she is
an educated, refined woman of deli
cate sensibilities and of an affection
ate disposition, and that the conduct
of the defendant and his articulation
of the epithets above mentioned have
so unstrung the nerves of complain
ant. made her so sick and disordered
as to constitute, within the meaning
of the law, extreme cruelty"
1t is stated that defendant is Wig

and intelligent, and earning a salary
of Sf45 a month as an employe of the
Honolulu Fire Department. A. ).
Humphreys is attorney for complain
ant.
Judge De Bolt has granted the di-
vorce, allowing Mrs. Deering $50
month alimony and the custody of the
children.

TESTED AND PROVEN.
There Is Heap Of Solace in Being
Able TO Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Paducah readers have
seen the constant expression Of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done
I'm this locality Not another remedy
ever produced such convincing proof
.of merit.
W. II. Smith, of 1912 South
Fourth street, Paducah, KY, says:
"My back has troubled me for some
years past and it would ache so just
lat the hips that would have to go
and lie down and then could not
get up without help. Itried plasters
and everything that would come to
my notice that I thought would help
me. 1 did receive some benefit but
the trouble would return again in a
short time as severe as. ever. One
day We noticed Doan's Kidney pills
advertised so / sent to Dubois &
CO.'S drug store for a box. I took
them as directed and in about one
week 1 was able to go about my work
as usual The lameness in my back
and shoulders disappeared and my
kidneys began to perform their work
in the natural way. / found that it
was kidney trouble that caused me
to ache so much. but Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved me OF all the trouble
and l can cheerfuny endorse them"
(From a statement given in 1900
Cured to Stay Cured.
On Feb. is, 1907, Mr.. Smith said:
"seven years ago Doan's Kidney
Pills cured me Of a severe attack Of
lame back and kidney trouble. J.
gave a statement at that time telling
Of the cure they had effected. and af-
terethIs long test / take pleasure in.

Gets Respite
Meshes Closing Around 'NIen High

Is Arrested On Charge.
MORE INDICTMENTS COMING

San Francisco, March az The
extortion cases against Abraham
Ruef we're called for trial today be-
fore Judge Dunno in the superior
court, and on The motion Of Assist
ant District Attorney Heney were
continued for one week.
Louis Glass, indicted vice presi-
dent and general manager OF the Pa
chc States Telephone company, was
arrested by Detective Burns yester-
day afternoon. Glass was on his way
down to Sacramento river in a
launch, returning to this city from
Goldneld, as all trains were tied up.
He was taken into custody on the
nine warrants issued by Presiding
Judge Coffey when the indictments
which charged the giving of a bribe
were returned. Mr.. Burns made the
arrest himself.
Glass is the first Of the "big fe,-
lows" to come within the direct
grasp of the law.
T. V. Halsey was the first man ar
rested for bribery, but he is gener-
ally belived to have been an agent
for men higher up, Of whom Glass is
named as one. Glass, despite his
wealth and personal popularity, viii
be treated lust the same as any 9TH
er prisoner.
More Indictments Coming.
Mark L. Gerstle, millionaire by
by inheritance. president Of the
Home Telephone company, and its
attorney, will not be summoned be-
fore the grand jury This significant
announcement was made from the Of
fee of Mr.. Heney. There will be in
dictments in the near future, and
whether. or not Gerstle's name will be
attached to one Heney declined to
say.
The grand jury assembled yester-
day afternoon for further investiga-
ton of the Home Telephone compa-
ny. Just before going into the jury
room District Attorney Langdon
said there would not be any indict-
ments returned. The Eailnre.iof the
Los Angeles capitalists to appear
was explained as the cause of the
postponement of action.
The capitalists organized in Los
Angeles the Home Telephone, of
which the loca' company of the
same name is an offshoot. They
sent 100000 here, in an automo-
bile shortly after the fire, $4,000 of
which was given to the relief fund
and the balance of $4,000 to the
city for a franchise 1t has been
learned that another fund Of $685.
600 was sent here at another date,
presumably to go to Ruef. schmitz,
and the supervisors. Detective Burns
has subpoenaed these men to end
out for what purpose the money was
sent here and to whom 1t was paid
100000 in Bonds Demanded.
At the request of the District At
torney. Judge Coffey fixed bail in
the sum of $4,000 on each Of the
nine counts returned against Glass
by the grand jury.
The first witness called before the
grand jury yesterday was Samuel
Jacoby, fiscal agent Of the Independ-
ent Telephone company. Mr.. Jacoby
denied that he or his company had
applied to Abraham Ruef to obtain
franchise votes for them among the
supervisors.

Says No Million Dollars Has Been
Appropriated and No Surveys
Made.
RUMoR OF JoPPA EXTENSION

Evansville, Ind, March 27. j.
o. Crockett, general superintendent
of the E. and 7. II. lines, said Truss
day that there was no trutn in the
published stories that the Frisco
Rock-Island system, controlling the
Evansville lines, was planning the
direction Of a 100000 shops here
or that the shops were part of a gen
eral plan for the extension of the
E. and T. H. south 10 form a union
with the southern Rock Island-Fris-
co lines to make another north-and-
south trunk line from Chicago to
New Orleans.
Mr.. Crockett said he had absolute
~ no information either official or
unofficial regarding any proposed ex-
tension of the E. and T. II. TO meet
the c. and E. /. at Joppa, Ill.,. or at
Paduoah to.form another arm of the
Rock Island-Frisco's north-and-south
system. IF such a plan were in pros
pect, / am sure I would be informed
about it,, he said. Surveys would
have to be made and a lot of prelim-
mary work gone through before the
project would be at a point where
the constructing and engineering of
fclals Of the road could say positive
Ily that the extension snould be made
This part of the story seems to have
originated from announcements in
the south that the Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City road is to build a
connecting link in the Frisco's south
ern system around New Orleans"

day contains the following:

SHEEP-As noted before in these col
umns two factors have entered very largely
or more, namely the unreasonable weather
and the large receipts. Warm ana unsea-
sonable weather is always detrimental 10
the sheep trade. In the first place the
as good condition when marketed as they
would be with weather cooler. AT the
same time the mutton does not handle so
well and the consuming demand Is greatly
reduced. The whole eastern country as
we'll as the western, has been experiencing
Just the kind of weather to injure the sheep
trade. For example, II was UP to 80 IN
Chicago on Monday and they had besides
very heavy thunder shower. This morn
ing, with receipts of sheep lighter at most
all important market points and with the
weather decidedly colder, the FEELING was
very much improved. d,
At this point buyers evidently were IN
need Of supplies and were out In the yards
In good season in the morning. Such stun
as they wanted sold very readily, desirable
sheep bringing fully steady prices with
some kinds looking a little higher.
Lambs especially were in very good de-
mand and sold fully 10c higher. Another
string OF the Timothy Ross lambs from
Schuyler brought $3.50, as against ND yes
terday and day before. -
