Denies HE married
Miss mae c. wood
SENATOR PLATT IN COURT APP.
PLlcATIoN DECLARES GIRL
ATTEMPTED ExToRTloN.
Says Woman Who Is Suing Him for
Divorce First Tried to Get Money
from Him on Threats of Breach
of Promise.

New York, Oct. 5.-United States
Senator Plat made formal denial Fri
day that he ever married Mae G.
Wood, who is suing him for divorce,
alleging that she was married to the
senator November 9, 1901. The sena-
tor made this denial in an application
in court by his attorneys asking for
authority to examine certain papers in
the case. The senator, in his petition,
asserted that she had never made a
claim to him of such a marriage until
December "a, 1906, but on the con-
trary, had tried to extort money from
him. More than three years after the
date on which she asserts she was
married to him, the senator averred,
she was threatening to sue him for
breach Of promise and retained the
law firm of O'Flaherty and Fulton Of
Richmond, Va, to act for her.
Alleges Extortion Scheme.
The senator submitted a copy of a
letter from that firm written to him
in January, 1905, in which they an
nounced that Miss Mae G. Wood had
employed them to prosecute. her claim
for damages for breach of promise
and for an alleged conspiracy culmi-
mating in New York in 1903 by which
she asserted she was fraudulently
compelled by agents of the senator
to surrender certain letters written
to her by him.
Senator Plat said that he ignored
this letter but that his attorney sub
s%equently received other letters from
OFlaherty and Fulton threatening to
take the case into court unless it was
settled. When he declined to enter
into negotiations with them the SEN
ator said, they discontinued their
attempts at extortion until just prior
to the beginning Of this action"
Suits to Gain Notoriety.
In the fall of 1906, the senator as
serted, Mae G. Wood brought two
suits. against him in Omaha in which
the allegations were absolutely incon-
sistent with her present claim of mar
riage. These suits, he said, were
brought to gain notoriety and to ex-
tort money from him. Both suits were
dismissed without prosecution.
The senator alluded to publications
Of what purported to be a marriage
certificate which, he said, had been
mutilated by cutting away the part
that should have contained the name
of the man who officiated.
Calls Letter a Forgery.
On the evening Of December "a,
1906, he said, he received a letter
from Miss Wood in which she stated
that she had received a letter from
him acknowledging her as his wife.
This, he said, was untrue and no such
acknowledgment had ever been made.
If such a communication exists, the
senator said, it is a forgery, manu-
featured by the plaintiff to .extort
money from him.

THINKS WHILE HE WORKS..
One Man Who Saves Money for the
Firm.

There once was a mar who did not
do things. He was running a certain
section of a certain large firms bust
ness, and people began to talk of him.
What's the matter with that fell
low?" said they. do you notice how
he does nothing? All he does all day
is-nothing, or, not much, at all
events. How does he manage to harg
on?"
The other fellow made reply to the
effect that HE does not hang on,
He's anchored here. If he wasn't, he'd
be let out. But he'll never get any
further up. Watch him"
And everybody watched.
One day this certain firm happened
to have a certain something on it's
hands that stirred everybody up. 1t
was a big contract, and there was
something wrong with the wording, SO
the Urn had to win a big lawsuit or
lose a lot of money. And all the peo.
pie in the firm, everybody who did
things, began to run around and say:
What are we going to do? What are
we going to do?"
And the a who did not do things
sat at his desk and smoked.
Finally everybody had turned in
their suggestions and the firm was 81.
ing to begin to fight the case, for mons
OF the suggestions suggested anything
else. And then the mar who did no
do things spoke.
Suppose I go over and see the
other firm and try to frame up a com.
promise" said he. well both lose
money if it goes into the courts
They'll lose; We'll lose. Suppose we
see If we can't make them see it in
the same light"
The head of the firm threw up his
hands and collapsed.
Good heavens" he gasped, "why
didn't somebody think of that before?'
And the man who did things made
reply: We've been too busy plan.
ming the fight to have time to think
about it,"
And the head turned to the one
man and said: "How in the name oil
all that is profitable did you happen tc
have such an inspiration"
And the man laughed.
That's no inspiration" he said
that's common sense. I simply have
sat back here-not doing things
thinking. And I know we can square
it up"
And they did.
Moral: Don't do things-all the
time. Think a little.

FARMERS BEWARE.

Anamoose Progress: Again
the smooth faker has come and
gone and the susceptible farmer
who bit on his alluring scheme
has a look Of chagrin on his face
similar to Mr.. p. 2. Mark. Some
time ago a stranger struck town
purporting to represent a Min
neapolis stock food concern. He
made Anamoose his headquarters
for about three or four weeks
canvassing the surrounding
country and when he left every
thing was thought to be lovely.
Shortly afterwards, however,
when the farmers who had order
ed one Of the cabinets received
the goods and also a notice to the
effect that their note for $50. so
would soon be due, they had a
rude awakening and knew they
had been stung. 1t appears that
the agent made his victims sign
notes which called for larger a.
mounts than they thought they
were to pay. The cabinet in
question consists of a box several
different kinds of stock medicine
and is practically worthless.
Why people continue to sign pap
ers for strangers is not quite
clear. We hope the victims will
get out without paying the notes
but it is doubtful whether they
will. About rs or 80 were
caught in the game here.

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
Investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
in mind, it is an opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of
currency, its lodging places, by
whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results.
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and
follow the channel of success.
It's extra size and high price, is
the secret of its ability to discover,
obtain, print and serve its patrons
with all the news, and cater to wants
of people in every calling of life.
The Weekly Enquirer for the
year 1908 has greatly increased its
Clubbing offers which now include
the most select and popular pub
lieations of the day at prices slightly
over half the regular Subscription
rates.
Do not overlook the fact that the
year 1908 promises TO excel in pros
perity any of the past, and that
the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio, Is one of the most reliable
sources of information.
