SOME KELLYS
TOLEAVE TOWN
Mrs. Anna Kelly Draws Suspended
Sentence Of Thirty Days in
Jail at End Of Her
Trial.

Harry Kelly, bright, sensible, care
full boy of right ideas, was the star
witness In the last act Of the Kelly
family drama which was staged in the
superior court for couple Of hours
this forenoon.
He was testifying against his moth
err. but he easily justified that by his
description of her actions and CONVEX
sation at the time she whipped her
motherin-law, while the boy was try
ing to stop the scrap giving sensible
advise to his mother. Mrs. Anna Kelly
was round guilty by Judge Mcnamara
and given a Jail sentence OF thirty
DAYS, which twas suspended until to-
morrow morning to give her a chance
to get out Of town. Harry Kelly seemed
an entirely different kind of man,
about a dozen years old, than his faith
er and uncles.
Major w. B. Collins defended Mrs.
Anna Kelly and Mrs. Mary Kelly. the
mother-in-law, was the first witness
who graphically and strenuously &C.
scribed the quarrel between the two
as the many children of Mrs. Anna
Kelly were siaunted back and forth be-
tween their mother and their grand
mother one day down in Pleasant VAL
ley, Just above the Fifth street bridge
over Bloody run.
The court proceedings were enliven-
ed by the baby Of the defendant. just
large enough to toddle over the court
room and crow Justify when it was
pleased.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Transactions in today's stock mar
ket were on an expensive scale when
compared with recent sessions, but
easily third of the business was
made up of dealings in U. S. Steel
common on the selling side. That
stock dropped below SO for the sec
ond time since the turn of the year,
a loss on the day of more than three
points.
The rest of the steel group suffer
ed losses of some two points includ-
ing the equipment issues. Marine
preferred strengthened. American
Hide and Leather preferred was an
outstanding strong feature, pushing
close to 81. The tobaccos were sub
jected to no little pressure. Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph was

Turn Over Government.
by Frank j. Taylor, United Press


BERNIE, Jan. 29.-The German
cabinet plans to turn over the gov
eminent to the national assembly at
the initial meeting of that body, &C
cording to dispatches received fro1
Berlin today.
Such a move, 1t was believed,
would be the biggest possible step
toward sterilization of German politi-
cal affairs, enabling representatives
directly selected by the people to
determine all administrative and
legislative details of the pew repub-
lie.
Other dispatches from Berlin re-
ported that the ninth army corps
had refused to accept the govern
ment's plans for military reorganiza-
ton and that the officers and sol
diers' councils, claiming supreme
authority in army matters, ha.i sent
delegates to the capital to press their
claims before the government.

BE PRETTY!
TURN GRAY
HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if
you use Grandmother's simple
recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for .'Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients. at small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
thru your hair. taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.

PAROLE FOR FLACK
Abilene Bank Wrecker Released From
State Penitentiary.


John A. Flack, Abilene bank wreck
er, has been given a parole. The pa
role was signed by Governor Allen and
approved by the state charter board.
News of the release of Flack was made
public from Lansing after having been
kept secret for a number of days.
The Abilene State bank, for whose
failure Flack was sent to prison, closed
its doors in 1910. Depositors were
paid in full only because an assess
ment was levied on other banks oper-
ating under the state bank guaranty
act Since he went to prison, Flack
was the recipient of many favors at
the hands of penitentiary officials.
Since 1915 Mrs. Flack had been en-
ployed at the prison as an assistant
matron in the women's ward.
Numerous applications had been
made for F'lack release from prison.
But a parole was denied by Governors
Hodges and Capper. Neither execu-
tive would extend clemency to the
bank breaker and until recently the
sentiment against F'lack in Abilene
is said to have been strong. Bank
ers in all sections of Kansas protested
against applications for paroles for the
Abilene man His bank was the first
and only institution in the state which
in order to protect shortages. Flack's
was asserted.
Neither Governor Aliens office nor
the state board of administration had
reported Flack'S parole and precau-
tions had been taken to prevent the
publication of sthe facts.
