1T WAS NOT GOOD.
That Marriage License Some Man
Found on the Street.

Just found a marriage license on
the street. Is it good?' This was the
query coming over the telephone to
the probate court
Can anybody use it," continued the
voice eagerly.
The voice was told that the license
was good only for the parties to whom
it was issued and brought forth a sigh
of resignation. No one will ever know
whether the sigh indicated the giving
up of the price of license, or the idea
of getting married just because it could
be done for nothing.
Anyway the lost license was return
ed to the probate court, and in a very
short time Henry A Kelley of Pratt,
Kan, came rushing breathleSsly in.
Just a short time before, he had Sc
cured the license to we'd Irene Stuckey,
of Topeka. In his nervousness he HAD
lost it.
Licenses were also issued to Edgar
Haze Brown of Paris, Mo, and Edith
Pearl Head. of Topeka, and John A
Brown, Parsons, Kan. and Romenia
Phillips, also of Parsons.

BRYCE IS CAUGHT.
Plan of Cooperation of Police De-
partmentS Hard to Beat.

The Shawnee county sheriff's office
was notified yesterday of the arrest
in ST. Louis, of Ed Bryce, a negro
wanted here for wife desertion, and in
the capture of Bryce is a good illus
tration of the almost complete use
Iessness of anyone trying to escape
when officers of the law are in pursuit
And yet no one was ever sent in pur-
suit by Bryce. He was merely kept
track of through the almost perfect
cooperation of the various police de-
partmentS of the city.
Bryce left Topeka July Is and kept
going from one city to another. But
descriptions and inquiries had been
sent out and although Bryce succeed
ed in eluding the officers for some time,
his movements We're always traced, and
in the sheriff's Office is a file of reports
almost as numerous as the number of
days Bryce has been away from To-
peka.
Formerly it was not unusual for
fugitives accused of major crimes to
be subjected to unrelenting pursuit,
but with the development of co-opera-
ton between the officers of the law,
even petty offenders are run to
ground

Monica: You hardly need such a list

mercolized wax will help you more than
any or all of them. 1t will gradually alb
sorb the withered. discolored complexion
and you will soon have new, youthful
and healthy-looking skin. You needn't get

reappointment as chaplain at the Sol

by his physicians to be largely re-

Chaplain J. w. Crouch.
Rev. Crouch was appointed four
years ago by Governor Stubs and was
succeeded a few weeks ago by a
Democratic appointee. He had a good
record at the home. His malady
might have been overcome, doctors
said, but he refused to try to rally.
He came to Fort Dodge from Belle
Plaine and previous to that time had
been pastor of the Methodist church

Clay Center. Kan, Sept. 23.-The
Clay Center baseball club has offers
from the Oakland, Cal, club and from
a large town in Texas for Singleton,
who belongs to Clay Center and who
played here all summer. but who has
been playing with Topeka since the
State league season ended. Both offers
are attractive and it is rather likely
that Singleton will be sold to one Of
those teams, probably the Oakland
team.
Singleton headed the State league in
batting and did great work with To-
peka in both fielding and batting after
the State league ended. He seems to
be a coming player.

SUPPORTED HIM
Food That Saved When Everything Else
Failed.

The food route is a safe and very sure
road back to health.
For six years l a serious sufferer
from indigestion and general stomach trou-
bles, from the improperly cooked food in
boarding houses and restaurants of which
l was a victim.
During three of the six years, was
bad off nervous prostration set in and L
sought relief of a specialist without success.
1 had gotten so that I could eat almost
nothing and was steadily losing flesh.
Many different foods and preparations
were recommended for trial. without sue
cess. and 1 had become Indifferent to all
food.
Some months after seeing your ad in
the daily papers about the scientifically pre-
pared food, Grape Nuts, and it's good quail
ties, and being driven almost to despair
over my plight, L skeptically resolved to
give Grape-Nuts trial a last resort. And
1 thank God that did.
From my first meal of Grape-Nuts felt
a great change for the better; the knot that
arose in the chest after meals disappeared;
stomach ceased it's uneasiness and gradually
the nervousness disappeared.
For about a year I ate Grape-Nuts and
cream times a day and have gained 54
pounds of lost weight and weigh pounds
more than L ever did and now do not find
any trouble in using my d-time relishes
with my Grape-Nuts.
Il expect to be married soon and 1 do not
expect Grape-Nuts to be eliminated from
my bill of fare as long as I live. If my tes-
my letter conspicuously where it can be
read Name given by Postum CO., Battle
Creek, Mich.

of complete food and in a highly assimi-
liable state" says the London Lancet"

MISS BOUDREAU IT
 TEMPORARY CHARGE. OF BURLESQUE HOUSE

With the retirement of F. J. sarr, recently manager of the Park theater in this city. who goes to Holyoke, Mass, to take charge of one of the Shea theaters there, Miss Lima Bou- dreau, formerly in charge of the ticket selling force here, will become acting manager of the local dramatic and burlesque house.
 Miss Boudreau has had considerable experience in the operation and man agement of theaters on the Shea cir cult, having acted in similar capacity in both worcester and Providence.
 No announcement has been made of the new manager to come to this city, and 1t is believed that the present in cumbent may remain in the capacity of manager for some time. The Park theater has made a number of changes during the past two years, the late manager having remained for a longer period of time than the average. It is believed that, following the custom ary policy of the Shea management, t, the next head will be elevated from the ranks of stage or house employees.

There are still a number of candi- dates for office who have not filed reports of their election expenses at the town clerks office., The time for hl1ng such reports expires Wednes- day. Under the Corrupt Practices act each candidate for office must name political agent or be his own. ALSO he must file with the town clerk b days before election a statement naming himself or someone else as political agent for him.

FRANK MILLER
 TELLS OF HIS NARROW ESCAPE
How Top of Big Limousine Saved Banker and
 Party

Seated in his office at the City Ma tional Bank. this morning, unscathed from the accident which all but prov ed serious to himself and family, when his large touring car rolled over a high embankment between Wood bury and Bethel, Frank Miller, re- counted to a Farmer reporter this morning the terrifying experience he had encountered.
 As has been recorded in the ac- counts from Waterbury, the large au- tomobi1e in which himself, wife, maid and two friends were travelling from Bridgeport to Bantam Lake, was ditched between Woodbury and Beth eI. inprisoning the party after rolling down a steep declivity.
 MT. Miller today said that they were proceeding at a fair rate of speed over a fine stretch of road leading towards Bethel. The driver, Peter Larkin, who has piloted the Miller car for some years and whom the owner holds en- ttrely blame1ess, had found that his oil was flowing lightly and had leaned down to force more into the engine by means of a pump, when the front wheel was deflected by a, stone in the roadway. The car shot over the 30- foot embankment and rolled over. Had not it's course been blocked by an obstruction, there is little doubt that fatality would have resulted, as the car would have rolled over several times
 While the machine was upside down, the heavy limousine top re- vented those within being crushed, though they were unable to extricate themselves.
 Charles F. Nichols of Easton, pass ing in his car, noticed the big ma chine and stopped to inspect the wreck. He was surprised to see a hand protrude, which he later found to be that of one of the woman occu- pants. He hastily tore an exit in the top upon instructions from those with in and the passengers were released.
 Later MT. Miller with the aid of his chauffeur and others who gathered at the spot improvised skid and secur- ing block and falls raised the car to the roadway where it was lighted and resumed it's journey under it's own power. The accident occurred at 3:3O Saturday afternoon. At 10 o'clock all were safely housed at Bantam Lake, having suffered nothing more than the momentary shock as they were shaken together in the compartment

WIFE OF EBENEZER HILL, JR. IS GIVEN
 DIVORCEIN RENO

Friends of Ebenezer Hill, IT,, of NorWalk, wealthy notor1st and nephew of former Congressman Hill, will be surprised to learn that his wife obtained a divorce from him in Reno, New, in February, 1912. She married Henry $. Priest and is living with him in St. Louis, where Hill recently serv- ed her with papers in his divorce ac- ton.
 Hills divorce suit was filed a few weeks ago in the superior court here. He alleged that his wife deserted him. The Hills had been married II years before they separated. After Mrs. Hill left her husband she took a promi- nent part in So. Norwalk social affairs. Hill is commander of the Naval Militia and is well known throughout the state.
 The St. Louis Times says of the af- fair:
 Asked for a statement concerning Hi1Ps action in asking for a divorce decree, MT. Priest gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 Mrs. Priest obtained a divorce from MT. Hill in February, 1912, in Nevada, upon service by publication her petition upon him. The judgment was perfectly valid under the laws of Nevada, where she then resided, under the laws of Connecticut, where MT. Hill resided, and under the laws of Missouri, where Mrs. Priest now re- sides, and is valid everywhere. Some courts, however, hold that while the decree is thus perfectly valid upon such constructive notice so far as dis solving the marital relation is con- cerned, it does not adjust settle the property relations between the parties. l suppose it is upon this last theory and purpose that MT. Hill Iii I,1 to this Mrs Priest has not the slight est objection"
