Her CURSES SHOCKED HIM
Alfred j. Wcgc Asks Divorce From His
Wife, Who Uses Profanity.

Alfred J. Wege is a car helper in the
Santa Fe shops He not only is a
church member, but he tries to the
best of ability to live up to his pro-
fession. So when his wife cured him,
he was terribly shocked and when,
without his knowledge or consent, she
allowed a young man and girl to come
to their house and occupy the same
room all night, it absolutely destroyed
his peace of mind. These are the
charges he makes in petition filed in
the district court asking a divorce
from Elizabeth Wege.
g. The plaintiff" reads the pc
tition, lis a man of church affiliation
and tries to the best of his ability to
live up to his profession and that after
said marriage, when the parties here
to would have dispute, said defend
ant would break forth in a TRADE of
profanity which greatly shocked the
plaintiff and disappointed him as to
the character and temperament of this
woman of pure language when he
hearing a woman of good repute using
language of that character"
The Weges were married September
Z. The husband says at the time they
were married he paid out 1920 to
buy her clothing, paid $50 to get her
teeth fixed up and $12p more to send
her daughter to Kansas university.
But still she wanted more money, he
asserts, and when he was unable to
produce it she began to curse and
abuse him until his life was made I'M
bearable. A property settlement has
been agreed upon, he says.

in SPEAKER RACE
Election of w. w. Harvey Looks
Almost Certain.
X. NJ. Geddes Withdraws, Civ
ing Free Swing to Place.

Election of w. W. Harvey of Clark
county to the speakership of the house
became practically certain today when
K M Geddes of Butler county an
nounced he would not be candidate.
The Geddes following was rated as
strongly for Harvey for second choice
A Free Swing Now.
Withdrawal of the Butler county
lawyer may eventually give Harvey
virtually free swing at the speaker
ship. In spite of the fight which has
been made on his candidacy thru a
Missouri newspaper, Harvey's popu-
larity has been shown by the strong
organization built behind him. Sew
eral weeks ago he claimed more than
seventy of the 115 votes in the Re-
publican caucus. now appears that
he may have an open field.
Charles H. Mann, popular Osborne
county legislator, was doped to carry
the fight against Harvey. The Clark
county member has the seniority in
service and like Mann is a western
Kansas member. 1t is usually a diff
cult matter to split the short grass
vote. So Mann SHE'D at the invitations
to run and has recently stated that he
will not get into the fight. Death of
]. NJ. Gilman recently removed an
other possible contender, altho Gill
mans health during the last year
would doubtless have prevented his
seeking the office even had he been
able to serve.
Endres Considered as Candidate
I Ben F. Endres of Leavenworth
county also considered entering the
speakership. He is quoted as telling
friends he would not try to block Har-
vey's chances if it was apparent the
Ashland man had the inside track
Representative Stanley of Wyandotte
is a possible candidate. This is his
first term in the legislature since
away back in the palrny 90's. Tom
Harley of Douglas was urged But
Harley has declined.
Now GeddeS is out of it. The But
Ter member is one of the Republican
| leaders in the house and served dur
ing the sessions of 1915-17-19-20
The Harvey and Geddes forces, how
ever, usually united on important
legislation and the political dope sheet
indicates Goddess refusal to make the

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and youthful with Sage Tea
and Sulphur

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" 1t is
very popular because nobody can dis
cover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, it also produces that soft
luster and appearance of abundance
which is SO attractive. = Advertise

CITY TO REMOVE HOUSE
Property Was Condemned Some Tins
Ago for Park Purposes.

Another chapter has been added to
the history of a house which was con-
demned by the city commissioners in
North Topeka for park purposes. This
morning the city commission voted to
give to the man who owned the prop
erty when it was condemned, enough
money to secure a release for the
mortgage which was held on it, so
that the house could be moved by the
man to whom the city, after condemn
ing the property, sold it.
The transaction is of highly in
volved nature. The house belonged
originally to William Craven. f. S.
Thomas, of Excelsior Springs, Mo.
held a mortgage on it. The city con-
demned it and sold it to ]. S. Richey.
But when Richey started to move it
the mortgage. Thomas, instructed the
tenants who were occupying it, to re-
fuse to move, which they did
The city commission, at its meeting
this morning, furnished Craven with
enough money to secure a release
from the mortgage, and voted to give
Richey $50 on account of the damage
and delay. Since its condemnation by
the city it is said the tenants who have
been occupying the property have
given it very rough treatment.
