DIDN'T GET CHILDREN.
That Lowe Controversy Is Settled by
Judge Dana.

| An echo of the Lowe divorce suit,
| which was tried in the district court a
| year ago, was heard in the same court
| today when proceedings were brought
before Judge Dana for the custody of
the two Lowe children, a boy seven
years old and a girl four years old.
John Lowe brought suit for a divorce
from his wife, Myrtle Lowe, about a
year ago. She filed counter suit and
Judge Dana decided that she was en-
titled 10 divorce and also to the GUS
tody of the children. Mrs Lowe main
tanned a nome for her children here for
some time and then took them to the
home of Mr.. loves parents where she
left them for visit, while she went to
Liberal Kansas.
She was taken i'll there and was laid
up for some time. Her parents-in-law
not hearing from her decided that she
had abandoned the children and they
went into court and got an order for
mally transferring the custody of the
children from their mother to them.
Mrs Lowe returned recently from
Liberal and went to the Lowe nome
on Tuesday night last for the purpose
of seeing her children. From all &C
counts she was quite roughly handled
al the house by the elder Lowe and
was not permitted to see her little girl

mission to remove the children from the
state as she and her husband intended
to again establish their home at CAFES
burg Ill Mrs. Lowe, the mother OF the
children, put in a counter application
to regain the custody of them. 1t was
these matters which were ceIoIc Juo6c
Dana this morning.
After hearing the particulars in the
case Judge Dana delivered a severe
reprimand to the Loves for the harsh
treatment they had accorded their
when she went to visit
her children He decided. however, that
the grandparents should continue to
have the custody of them for the time
being and issued an order permitting
them to remove them from the state
provided that they would file a $1,000
bond that the children would be return
ed to the jurisdiction of the court at
the courts pleasure. Judge Dana said
that when their mother was able to pro-
vide them with home. he might take
mn the proposition to restore the Gus
tody of her children to her.

was made of the nature of the investi-
cation. Last night the mails took out
from the postoffice inspectors Office
letters to the correspondents whose
names were found on the company S
books pointing out that all mail adj
dressed to the Myers and the Western
Pump companies is being withheld,
and that the three officers of it, Myers,
MCGOWAN and Rudd, have been ar
rested.
The government letter then calls on
the correspondents to send to the post
office inspector here all circulars, let
terS or other matter which they may
have received through the mail in re-
lation to buying county rights for the
pump which was to raise a stream of
water for twelve hours after being
wound up by an 1Syear-old youth for
eight minutes.
In making up this mailing list it
was found that one man had paid
$4,000 for twenty counties in Kansas
This was at the rate of 5000 per
county. The regular price charged
for county rights was 500 each.

SHOTS EXCHANGED.
Cuban Rebels Are Closely Pursued by
RuraIs.

Havana, Cuba, Sept. S0.-The small
| band of rebels which have been traver-
| sing the country in the vicinity of
Mayari, in the northern section of San
dispatches, again exchanged shots with
the pursuing rurals. The latter are
| close on the heels of the bandits.
While there are signs of unrest in
various parts of the island the opinion
prevails here that no serious disturb
ance is likely. In commenting on the
situation Diario De La Marina says:
"A combination of unpleasant circum-
stances having no link, one with the
other appears to make the situation at
first sight more serious than it really
is. Each one of the problems that at
present confront the administration
the yellow fever epidemic, the conspir
acy of PARA, Mirat and Ducassi, the
existence of bands of outlaws in the
country and the railroad strike, is of an
alarming character, but except for the
tendency of the strike to become gen
eral and stop railway communication
throughout the island, these events are
of great Importance in themselves.
1.-The yellow fever has not spread
there appears no danger of general
epidemic, as cases are comparatively
few up to the present time. The con-
spiracy was a very ridiculous one and
even if it had succeeded in inducing
some fools to take the field it would
have been nipped in the bud The
Mayari band of outlaws cannot be con-
sidered of more Importance than many
other previous bands of Guerrilas who
have occasionally appeared in Cuba.
There is no reason therefore, for
extraordinary alarm, or for believing
Cuba is on the brink of an abyss. Even
the strikers have as yet not committed
any act of violence. II their disagree
ment with the railway companies is not
settled other men will be found shortly
to run the trains. In this case any at
tempts on the part of the strikers to
resort to force will be prevented and
punished according to law. The situa-
ton, for all these reasons, is not so
grave and the government has ample
means to cope with it.
Cienfuegos may soon become trou-
BILE zone. The walters there are on
strike and others plan to strike soon.
1t is reported also that political trou-
BILE is coming in that vicinity where
conspirators have been active.
Most people think that the railroad
and other strikers offer more prospects |
of serious trouble then the threatened |
revolution. The lighter men of Havana |
harbor will probably strike today and |
the stevedores in a few days.
Governor Magoon has determined to |
deal with outlaws and insurrectionists |
with a strong hand. The orders of the |
rurals, it is stated, are to capture, kill |
or drive them into the ocean.

Neglect of the Teeth

| There is nothing for which one pays
| so dearly as for the neglect of his
teeth. Where the teeth are filled In
proper time. before the decay has
progressed far. the work requires but
| little time, the expense is small and
the pain is but slight. But If the tooth
has been neglected until the pulp is
exposed or has died and started an
abscess or until the tooth has broken
down beyond repair, it requires con-
siderable time to treat and fill the
tooth, or to build it up and crown It,
OF to extract and replace 1t with
bridge, consequently the expense is
much greater. And all of the pain
which the aching or abscessed tooth
caused before the dentist is visited
might be avoided if the work were
done at the proper time. Do not neg
lect your teeth but have them attend
ed to before they cause you any trou-
