REDICK LETS THE BID GO IN
Says Hitchcock Printing Proposal
DID Not Reach Council
Too Late.

Judge Redick of the district court in the
mandamus suit of the Bee Publishing COM
pany to compel the city council to deliver
the contract for the city's official printing
decides the bid of the World-Herald may
still be considered.
In answer to the contention of The Bee
that it's bid was the only one before the
council at the proper time and therefore
was entitled to the contract the decision
says:
Until the council takes some affirmative
action looking toward the letting of the
contract bidders have no legal rights
which the court will protect.
The court decided that the statute in
providing that the bids shoul be con-
sidered at the meeting of the council in
tended to mean the first regular meeting
and that for this reason the adjourned
meeting July /. at which The Bees bid
was presented, was not a proper occasion.
The action of the city clerk in sending
back the bid of the World-Herald was de-
cided by the court to be outside of his
authority. as all bids submitted before the
contract is actually awarded are to be
considered as valid.

a long sentence for the Pollock diamond
robbery. He wanted the criminal as a wit

encountered no difficulty in gaining his

The reason is that II heumatis is in the

grand fighting force. and keeps most other
enemies OF the human frame at bay. e.
pcctally those Of the germ type.
Very naturally. II you ave such a grand
friend at hand. you have to pay something
for aid rendered; but the pain Of rehuma-
tism, n shockingly severe at times. is not.

sympathy when suffering from heum
tism.
But the plain fact is that a slight malady
always benefits you, even II indirectly. As
an example OF that. say a very bad spell
Of weather comes along, cold and wet, and
you contract a slight chill.
What do you propose to DO? Why. to
take the greatest care Of yourself and
make as certain as possible that your cold

worse. Now. did that very slight cold not
make its appearance and cause you to be
extremely careful Of what you did there is
no saying what might happen to you any

You might have exposed yourself so much
that a severe chill would have seized you,
followed by Inflammation OF the lungs.
Accordingly, a slight cold may easily save
you from many worse ills.
In this way minor Affections act as
warnings that worse things are coming
along. but, unfortunately. many persons
quite neglect these warnings. A man, for
example, has indigestion more or less con-

pectlng that it will disappear one day.

TIPS ON COMING EVENTS
some Human Ailments Con-
sidered Beneficial to the
Victim.

To be struck down by disease seems a
most undesirable thing, yet there are many
living today in the fullest enjoyment of
very excellent health who, but for an at
tack OF some disease. would have lived "A
life Of almost perpetual misery.
These people were, first of all, victims Of
indigestion in It's worst form, and only
those who have experienced 1t know what
true indigestion is. Struck down by ty-
phold fever, they came through the trying
ordeal cured of indigestion. for one out
standing ~eccentricity of typhoid is that, IL
YOU pass through an attack safely, it gives
you new stomach. In fact, after an at
tack OF typhoid the victim is usually left
with stomach like an infant.
That is the grand chance offered to one
who has suffered, 1t may be. for long years
from acute Indigestion; II only he takes
care, after an attack of typhoid, he need
never know indigestion again.
Be It remembered. that any one troubled
with severe indigestion Ia not advised to
go hunting around for typhoid fever. That
might prove to be a disastrous course to
follow!
A chronic cold Is just one Of those things
which none of us want, yet even a chronic
cold has its good points, more especially IL
you happen to be up in years a bit-not too
old. of course. People who are up in years,
and who suffer from chronic bronchitis,
seem to get remarkably well. 1t keeps the
blood in good circulation, for, OF course, the
victims have to cough. and that gives the
heart a jerk and sends the blood coursing
nicely through the veins and arteries.
II the cold be not too acute, old people
derive considerable benefit. An acute at
tack, on the other hand. may cut off an
old person In a day or two. II is the
chronic type only which yields benefit.
Smallpox Is a dreaded soourge; so much
so that. II it he reported that a case exists
in a neighborhood, a thrill passes through
the whole community.
Yet those who suffer from smallpox, and
recover, usually live to a green old age. II
seems to renew life In some mysterious way
by thoroughly purifying the blood.
II, however, you desire to attain 20 q
ripe old age, YOU cannot get on at all with

bling all the day about their bones and

ShercIIH Fooled at Escape.
Information has reached Omaha Of a des-
perate but futile attempt by Shercliff to
escape the Leadville prison the other day.
The sheriff and a deputy were making a
round Of the prison when In a toilet room
they discovered the merest fragment OF a
wire protrudins through the floor. Exami-
nation disclosed the fact that this wire
held suspended through the flooring and
ceiling in the room below certain utensils
with which jail-breakers are familiar.
At once suspicion was directed toward
Shercliff. The officers went to his cell
and confronted him with the accusation.
He denied 1t. They pressed the charge and
he reiterated his denial. Then they began
a search of his cell. They found a soap
impression of a key and then a key made
from a broom handle and then a saw file.
All these things being the tools of the
burglar and jail-breaksr. the hard wood
key being the exact fit to the door Of
Shercliff's cell and the outer corridors
leading to Gods glorious out-of-doors. to-
gether with the strange fact hat they were
found in Mr.. Shercliffs possession, were
regarded by the officers as such strong cir
cumstantlal evidence that they told Mr..
Shercliff they found 1t extremely difficult
to accredit his indignant denial of their
accusation.
And then It was the officers came into
possession of the fact, as reported, that
Mr.. SheTcliff had penned a few lines to
Mr.. Thomas, the man who got him out of
the Iowa prison. What those lines con-
tanned. whether they were merely of a
social nature or business, could not be
learned from Mr.. Thomas and the Colorado
officials are publishing M secrets. Mr..
Shercliff's trial, however, is set for early
in September.

DIVORCE GROUNDS NOT PROVEN
Such IL the railing Of judge Ken
nedy, who Dismisses the Case
with Costs 90 the
Colonel.

Mrs. Julia NJ. Pratt's plea for a divorce
and Colonel James H.. Pratt's counter-plea
for a divorce were denied by Judge Ken
nedy Of the district court Saturday. and
the relations so far as the law is concerned
between man and wife. are precisely what
they were before the prolonged law suit be-
gan.
Mrs. Pratt brought suit for divorce more
than a year ago, alleging three separate
causes against her husband, cruelty in not
paying her bills and properly providing for
her, habitual drunkenness and his aged con-
dillon. Any OF these sustained It was
shown, would be sufficient.
In regard to the annoyance caused Mrs.
Pratt by her husbands refusing to pay his
bills, the court found that the facts were
not strongly enough established and that.
although the colonel was proved to be an
habltual drinker, he was not necessarily
an habitusl d%runkard.
Mrs. Pratt also alleged certain relations
between her husband and a woman of Benz
son, but these the judge held were not
proved.
All the costs of the case we're charged 10
the defendant, Colonel Pratt, and an addi-
tloEal $1,000 was awarded the plaintiffs at
torneys. Vinsonhaler and Bronze. This
makes in all $500 lawyers fees which the
defendant win have 10 pay for his wife's
case,
Not the Slightest Love.
"The marriage has been unhappy from
its inception" said Judge Kennedy, las
the plaintiff admitted in this case that she
had not the slightest love for her husband,
but desired merely to get financial advsn-
tage for herself and her children Such
marriages profane the most sacred rela-
ton Of our human society and are a
scandal and a disgrace to the community.
The grounds offered by the plaintiff were
not sufficiently proved to constitute cause
for divorce and as the original petition Ia
denied, the cr~oss-petition resting upon
practically the same grounds, must be also
denied. The evidence has shown that al
though the defendant may have done many
of the things. the plaintiff never professed
any love for the defendant, and as she
asked only money from him and condoned
his o~tfenses as long as he provided for
her, she has no just cause for complaint.
The yoke is doubtless CALLING to both par
ties, but the marriage contract is not like
other contracts and cannot be so lightly
broken"
General John C. Gown, attorney for
James II. Pratt, expressed himself as well
satisfied with the decision in spite of the
denial OF his cross-petition for divorce,
but he entered an exception to the award
ing of $1,000 additional attorneys fees to
Mrs. Pratt's attorneys.
Mrs. Pratt filed a suit for a definition OF
her property rights and provision for sep
arate maintenance when she entered her
original divorce petition, but this was dis
missed as a part Of the divorce proceed
ings and has not been refiled as a separate
action.
