cred product which is absolutely

by simple treatment that can be an
pied by any one in a short time. This
scVlentiflc treatment is embodied in

Offers Attorney Fees and Costs
for Settlement.
NO MONEY FOR WIFE
Man Refuses to BE Liberated
From County Jail.
Waits Two Years for Divorced
Wife to ReIent.

lola, Kan, July 15.-Peter W. Ball.
the man who has served two years
barring about one month-in the county
Jail rather than pay alimony to his di-
vorced wife IS apparently no nearer
freedom today than he was the moment
he entered the prison-unless either the
attorneys for the divorced wife relent
or Ball himself comedies another point
1t appears that there is little prospect
that either will cOncede though the
county officers would be grad to see
some arrangement made whereby Ball
could go free. 1t has cost the county
nearly $500 to keep Ball in custody the
past two years The cost will continue
at the rate of about $225 per year as
long as he is a prisoner.
Recently Jake Ball of Pittsburg,
father of the prisoner, called upon the
attorneys for the former Mrs. Ball and
offered TO pay the costs and the attor-
ney fees in the case. He has the cash
it up the moment that Peter was re-
leased but that was the best he would
do.
Not one dollar would the senior Ball
appropriate foc alimony. The offer was
checked up to Attorney Cullison rep
resenting Balls former wife.
Il can't accept that offer" he said
Why, I'd open myself to a charge of
bribery if I should collect my fee, set
tie a case and allow my client to go
ed in this offer. We can't approve the
release of Ball on this proposition. We
must have a payment on the alimony.
Will Not Give Bond
There the matter hangs. The senior
Ball will not pay on the alimony- The
Junior Ball who once said he would
not pay it. now says he will but he
will have to be given an opportunity
to get out and earn it. The court has
offered to parole Ball and give him his
liberty, allowing him to pay the judg-
ment in installments but requires that
he furnish bond to insure the pay
ments This Ball says he cannot do.
The original decree against Ball pro-
vided that he should pay $500 alimony.
This has been shaved down, however,
until about 5000 would settle the case.
Ball, however, has not complied with
the order Of the court and is in Jail
for contempt in his failure to do so.

John Roberts, AZ years old, and her

here from burns received at their

a quantity of gasoline into the stove.
Instantly there was a fearful explosion
and the room was in flames.
Neighbors heard the screams of the
injured woman and boy and hurried to
their assistance. The flames were eX-
tinguished but both Mrs. Roberts and
her son were so badly injured that
death was only a matter of time.

Her With Club.

Coffeyville, Kan, July 15.-Mrs.
Margaret E. Ford was the victim of
murderous attack at her home. and has
charged John Manning, a former
sweetheart, with being her assailant.
Mrs. Ford had been visiting a neigh
boris home with a couple of little girls.
When she returned home, the little
girls went on into the house while she
went out to the rear of the lot to shut
the hen house. It was dark but in the
ligh thrown out by an electric light in
the house she saw the shadow of a
man crossing the walk. She then
started for the house in roundabout
way, when the man assailed her with
a club. She was struck on the left
shoulder and knocked down against
woven wire fence. She then raised
her right arm over her head to ward
off the next blow, which fell across the
arm, breaking it. The assailant then
fed, being frightened away by her
screams.
She feels sure that Mr.. Manning is
the guilty party. He is under arrest.

In 1892 New York was visited by the

reckoning those in the suburbs. In
1866 there were 400 deaths in the city
