EASILY MANAGES
HIS SIX WIVES.
Jesse Gibbs, in Jail, Visited and
Petted by His Many
Consorts.
Il IS A GIFT, MEN
Only Three OF Wives Appear In Court
to Testify and They Are Friend

Women.

Chicago.-King Solomon didn't have
whole lot on Jesse Otley Gibbs, ex-
cept perhaps that the king never had
to sleep I'M Traeger's hotel, as the
county Jail is called in police circles.
| For in the matter Of wives and the
mastering thereof Mr.. Gibbs is a
"whiz," if one might judge from what
came about in court when the modern
Solomon went to face charge of hav-
Ing at least six wives and not enough
of them legally disqualified.
Gibbs lawyer tried to get Judge
Barasa to reduce the $1,000 bail which
has been keeping the busy husband in
Jail, but the judge, when he saw that
none of the wives was enough inter
ested in the case to keep the promise
to appear against Gibbs, said:
"Gibbs has had such good time all
his life, l can't see any reason why he
can't pass few more days in Jail. The
case is continued and the court shall
issue warrants for these six women
and have them here. Why aren't they
here today?"
J Wives Visit Him in Jail.
Policewoman Alice Clements then
explained that nearly all, if not all Of
the wives, have been visiting Gibbs in
Jail, that he has some hypnotic control
over them, that they have been taking
him food, flowers and fresh linen, and
! that in the opinion of the policewom-
an he has them so under his thumb
that they will not appear against him.
Gibbs looked the part in court, with
the clean linen and sprig of the flow
ers brought to him.
] The court intimated that there were
in possession of the state names of
other wives, but so far only these are
listed:
Mrs. Hilma Swomberg Gibbs, Mrs.
Rose Lynn Gibbs, Mrs. Josephine Page
Gibbs, Mrs. Mathilda Schletter Gibbs,
Mrs. Amelia Barthelheim Gibbs and
Mrs. Emma Mae Early Gibbs.
Jesse Otley Gibbs six wives were
not all in court to face him when the
case was called for the second time.
Three were present under subpoena,
unwillingly, one weeping, in the lieu

a FOE KINGDOMS REPUBLICS
Cities Of German Empires Are Under
Red Flags.

Paris, Nov. 12.-The situation in
Germany, as far as it can be ascer-
tanned from news arriving through
Switzerland, may be summed up as
follows:
In Prussia the emperor is gone and
a socialist government in an unde-
termined form is in power. In Bavaria
and Wurttemburg republics have been
proclaimed.
The royal family of Oldenburg has
fled and a revolution is reported.
A republic has been formed in
Schleswig- Holstein.
Frankfort, Hamburg, Cologne, Es-
sen, Muelheim, AK la Chapelle and
Emerich, as well as many other cities,
are in the hands of revolutionists.
Kiel, Wilhelmshaven and other ports
are in the power of revolutionist naval
units
The Prussian minister at Hamburg
has been arrested at his home in that
city, according to a Basel dispatch.

Spanish Influenza or Grip

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ, we
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.

within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three C's-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of q
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
