Well-KnOwn Bartender Tells
Friends Over Phone He
Is Married.
WEDDING FOLLOWS A
6-MONTHS ROMANCE
Bride, Mrs. Skiles, Is Manager
of Green Tree
Hotel.

Henry Muelbach, we'll known bar
tender at the Claud Speak saloon, las
night, according to an unconfrmet
report, eloped with his landlady, Mrs
Skiles, manager of the Green Tret
Hotel, and the couple were married.
Friends of the couple who learned Of
the marriage last night were unable
to ascertain where the marriage tool
place, whether it was in Jackson OF
Benton.
Late last night, Blick Hopper, who is
Muelbach's companion on watch at the
Speak saloon, received long distance
telephone call from Muelbach, when
the latter declared that he had obtain
ed the papers and his wedding was his
tory.
When he first called Hopper he de-
clared that he had obtained the papers
and mad put his deal through" Kop-
per demanded to know what he meant
whereupon Muelbach admitted that he
was d benedict.
The couple left the Cape in the auto

after Muelbach had finished his work.

ing, without saying word of his plans
to his employer. He even declined to
''tip" off Hopper when the latter re-
lieved him at 6 o'clock.
Muelbach has been a regular guest
at the Green Tree Hotel since it was
revamped and opened by Mrs. Skiles.
She came to the Cape about six
months ago, and the couple became ac-
quainted at that time Their acquaint-
ance grew and ripened into love, and
intimate friends of both have known
for several days that they were plan
ming to be married.
Mrs. Skiles is a widow with two
small children. Muelbach was born
and raised in the Cape. He is about
81 years old, and his parents as we'll as
two brothers reside in the Cape.
Hopper last night believed that the
marriage had been performed at Jack
son, but G. F. Siemers, county record
er. last night declared that he had not
issued a marriage license to the couple
For that reason it is believed the cou-
pie went to Benton.

ELECTRIC FANS
COOL MISSOURI HENS

California, Mo-, Sept. 6.-The birds
in the poultry plant here are real high
fliers. They have one convenience that
no monarch could have enjoyed SO
years ago. That convenience is elec-
trio fans.
Electric fans and running water have
been installed in the large feeding sta
ii onof the A. B. Cole and Sons plant
here. Under the play of a fountain in
the feeding station is the favorite
haunt of the ducks and geese.
The management found the fans and
water save the lives of many fowls and
make them fatten faster in hot wealth

OLD KLONDIKER
JOINS BRITISH ARMY

London, Sept. 6.-Among the Cana
dian contingent at camp in England
there is now an old gold miner from
the Ykon, one of the pioneer Of the
famous gold rush of '98.
His name is Love. He is a short,
jaunty clear-eyed and grey mustached
man, who gives his "war age" as 43,
but wsO saw the light on little Penn
sylvanian homestead considerably over
half century ago.
He comes from Dawson City 81
heard they wanted men," he said, "and
| came right along" He came alone,
the only man from Dawson, by stage
coacn and steamboat, over 1000 miles
to England, Victoria, and thence all
the 5000 miles to England.
He was farming in Portland, Oregon
when the news of the great gold
"strike" flew across America. He
promptly sold his farm and made his
way with hundreds of other adventur-
Gus men to the Yukon. When the gold
seekers got there the snow hay three
feet depe on the ground where theil
tents were to be pitched. During the
18 years that followed the miner has
remained at Dawson, mining in the
summer and hunting and trapping in
the winter.
Now, though too old for the infan-
try, he hopes to get out to the front
| in a medical corps.

for failure to enforce the laws. The
law enforcement squad finally reached
Latura's drive, where he sold whiskey
and gambled. He warned young Ly-
ons, the nervy patrolman, to 'leave me
alone or take what them niggers got. !"
The patrolman was persistent. Latura
started to draw a pistol. The patrol
man fired, wounding the "Cave Man"
Wild Bill, wounded, washed toward an
automobile. He was felled by another
shot. In the automobile for which he
was racing was found two automatic
pistols, Winchester rife and several
rounds of ammunition.

in small quantities in and upon the
skin of cattle which are repeatedly
dipped in arsenical dips.
The discovery of the European OK
MARBLE in certain sections of the North
makes this pest significant to northern
cattle raisers and to those who import
pure-bred or other cattle from these
sections. During the winter and spring
months considerable numbers Of pure
bred live stock are purchased in the
northeastern states and are shipped to
various parts of the country. 1t is
urged that all animals thus transport
ed be examined by the purchasers and
all grubs destroyed during the spring
and summer. Animals purchased at
any season of the year may harbor
these pests. In the winter and spring
they will be found beneath the skin on
the back, while at other times OF the
year the grubs are elsewhere in the
body of the host, and it will be neces-
sary to watch for the appearance OF
these grubs during the following sea-
son. In those states in which regis
tration of all imported animals is re-
uuired it would be comparatively easy
for the authorities to follow up such
importations and see that any MARBLES
are destroyed.

YES, pretty nice. But you are

Now you're flattering me. l think

The girl flies TO the other side of the
room in evident terror. The youth
flies over after her, and in an apparent
struggle manages to quite easily
wrench the photo from her grasp.
"Give it back to me! Please give it
back!' she pleads.
"Give it back? / guess mott"
II think you're just the meanest
thing!"
In a little while they quiet down,
and, despite the fact that she contin-
ues to coax him for the photo every
few minutes, he carries it away with
him. She goes to bed perfectly hap
py, for she intended that he should
have it; in fact, had it taken espec-
cially for him.-Detroit Free Press.

easily put into effect on small farms
and in diaries. In the southern states
the herds should be gone over early in
December and about twice later at
monthly intervals. In the northern
states the extraction should be begun
six weeks to two months later. If no
grubs are allowed to drop to the
ground and reach maturity, the num-
Der appearing in cattle in subsequent
years will be materially reduced, and
if extraction is followed up for several
years almost complete eradication will
result. OF course it is important
where possible to get concerted ac-
ton among the stockmen in the de-
struction Of these pests.
In extensive experiments along this
line in Germany it was determined that
the cost of removing all of the MARBLES
from the backs of cattle during one
season was about three cents per head.
In this case men were employed es-
pecially to do the work. 1t is possible
for practically every farmer and dairy
man in this country to accomplish this
work without material expense or loss

eating the stock raisers as to the
losses caused by OK MARBLES, and TO
aiding the members of the association
in destroying the pests.
Investigations conducted by the de.
partment indicate that eradication
also may be accomplished by the use
of arsenical dips, which are extensive
ly employed at the present time for
destroying cattle ticks. These inves-
LEGATIONS are being extended, and ex.
detrimental work is in progress which
it is hoped may establish effective and
practicable methods of destroying war;
bles. The arsenical dip appears to act
not upon the well-developed grub be-
meath the skin, but upon the eggs or
the newly Matched larvae, probably
the latter. 1t is not unlikely that the
destructive action of arsenical dips up
on MARBLES is more or less dependent
upon the fact that arsenic is stored up

TAKE A GLASS CT SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
traIize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a class OF
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu.
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
