Millionaire, ! Intoxicated, Hnrls Wife Through Window A Domestic Tragedy Narrowly Ayerted, Illus
 bands Repentance Wins Faithful
 Wife'S Forgiveness

A New York millionaire, prominent in both society and business circles, owning large interests in the West found it necessary to make semi-year- ly trips from New York to the center of his Western business enterprises. After year or two it appeared that his Western visits should be made at more frequent intervals. and latterly the business trip had been made on an average of once a month. On one pretext or another he Inade the trips unaccompanied by hiB wife, though she frequently requested that she be allowed to accompany him.
 She had observed for many months that upon her husbands return to New York he was in badly dilap- idated condition, both physical and mental, all Of which was laid to ard- uous work and loss of sleep, caused by press of business. The wife's sus- picions, aroused by the regularity with which he returned in an abnormal frame of mind, caused her to insist last October upon accompanying him on his Western journey.
 On the trip she made the discov- cry that her husband had become hopelessly addicted to the liquor hab- it and that instead of business de- manding his attention in the West. it was but a pretext to get away from home in order that he might indulge in what had become his regular monthly debauch.

Upon their arrival at his usual des- tnatlon, the unconquerable desire for liquor immediately gained the mas- tery and spree began which ended m debauch of unusual character. When he was finally rounded up and returned to his hotel, his mental euuil- ibrium toppled and he, a raving maniac, seized his wife and hurled her through a window, causing her ser ious injury, instant death being nar- rowly averted. It became manifest that the man, because of his many debauches, had become mentally ire sponsible and was the victim of alc.- holic insanity. Realizing his irrespon- s1bil1ty, his wife, accompanied by a physician, had her husband placed in the Neal Institute, where, under the direction of the physician in charge, the Neal Three Day Treatment for the Liquor Habit was administered to him. Today there is no happier home than that of this millionaire, whose redemption was accomplished by the Neal Three Day Treatment. The Treatment consists of the administra- tion, by regular physician, of a per- fectly harmless vegetable remedy talk en internally, with positively no hypo- dermic injections.

locks had become useless and the
keys had become lost. There
was not a cell in the Jail in which
prisoner of the dignity and i'm
portance of one charged with
murder could be incarcerated.
And so Ben Hartley had to be
allowed to go free and untram-
meled until such time as he could
be taken to Garden City and bail

Sheriff Lucus and everybody else
who had found sure-enough
prisoner at last for that county

While Haskell county has a
good-sized jail, albeit a lockless
one, there is no courthouse.
Court has to be held in the thea
ter. The trial of Ben Hartley,
the first murder trial in the his
tory of the county, was greater
attraction than any "melo-dram-
mer." Farmers and their wives
and families came from all over
the short grass country to attend
the trial. Their babies spraw-
led over the opera house stage
while the lawyers argued.
Neither court nor barristers,
Jurors nor witnesses were dis
turbed by the crying of babes
1t was big family gathering; a

And everybody felt glad when

meant that Ben Hartley would
be tried again, and Haskell coun-
ty would once more revel in the
luxury of murder ia.-Hutch-

Hopkins for Congress.
From Garden City Herald.

Northumberland Hopkins
is the only real progressive Re-
publican IN the Congressional
race, and being we'll known, rec
ognized as young man of ability
and not afraid to take positive
stand on any public question, he
will prove a strong candidate,
especially as the district is pro-
gressive.
From the Kansas City Star.
The announcement of Richard
]. Hopkins for Congress in the
Seventh district to succeed the
late Edmond H. Madison is ac-
companied by a declaration in
favor of progressive principles
that rings true. 1t is in line with
the platforms upon which Mr..
Madison was elected and with
Mr.. Madison's record in Con-
gress. Therefore it is in har-
mony with the progressive SEN
timent of the Seventh district.
From Lacrosse Republican.
Dick" Hopkins has announc-
ed that he will be a candidate
for Congress from this district
to succeed Judge Madison. Mr..
Hopkins is now Lieutenant gov
ernor and is bright young man.
He will be strong candidate and
his announcement will meet with
the approval of large constitu-
ency.
From Stafford Republican.
In favoring Governor Hopkins,
the Republican believes it voices
the stronger sentiment of Stat
ford county Republicans and
wishes to help nominate and
elect him, because it will be the
wish of the folks right here at
home.
