HE WAS SO
VERY EASY
Marries a Woman He Never Saw
and Wishes He Hadn't.
NOW ASKS COURT
TO SET HIM FREE
Experience ol Man who went to
Spokane to see the Town.
'.SPOKANE, Nov. 22.-Married to
a woman lie never saw before nor since
the ceremony was performed in the
parlor of a hotel in Seattle on Nov. 1,
is the strange experience of I M.
Stipp, a widower living at North
Yakima, Wash., who sought to file an
t.ction for divorce in the superior
court of Yakima county. The com
plaint was not filed for the reason that
Stipp hail no counsel and the prosecut
ing attorney would not order the clerk
of court to put it on record. Stipp
alleges that he does not know the
name of his wife, also disclaiming
having acquiesced in the proceedings,
lie says the ceremony was performed
while he was seated in the hotel par
lor reading. Three men and a woman
filtered the parlor and went through a
marriage ceremony, in which he was
made the bridegroom. The party left
the room soon afterward and he has
not seen the men or woman since, but
fears an ulterior motive in the action
of the strange quartet. Stipp's wife
died 20 years ago, and, he declared,
he has no desire to marry a second
time, but if he does he wants to know
Kmiething about his wife, at least to
become familiar with her name.
Reticence In Trouble.
Uev. W. L. Austin was greeted by
an unusually large congregation Sun
day morning in the First Methodist
Episcopal church. There being no
service in the Presbyterian church
many members of that denomination
availed themselves of the privilege
of being present, were cordially wel
comed, and with the others had the
pleasure of listcnirg to a very able,
instructive and interesting sermon on
the theme of "Reticence in Trouble."
The speaker admonished all to not un
necessarily parade their troubles be
fore others, but to tell their sorrows
and trials to (lod only, and urged them
to get right with Him.
The large choir under the able lead
ership of Mrs. F. H. Weseott fur
nished excellent music, and sang an
anthem. Mrs. Weseott also sang a
solo very sweetly, while her husband
presided at the organ with a master's
hand.

BROKEN BOW, Nov. 22.-Tothc
music of singing bullets a stranger who
was supposed to be a thief, rushed
own the street and boarded a train
that was pulling out for Grand Island
anil got away Saturday night.
Marshal Draper had received noticel
only a few moments before over the
phone to look out for a man who an
swered the description of the stranger
who had stolen tin overcoat and some
other valuables at Grand Isluid and
was liable to show up at Broken Bow.
When the man noticed the marshal
watching him he lit out and when the
officer took after him be turned am
fired, just missing the marshal's
head. Draper fired at him in return,
and again as he passetl beneath a
street light, and thinks that he hit him.
The missing goods were found later at
a hotel where the man bad registered
under the name of James. No trace of
him has since been found.
Acknowledge
the Benefit
Plattsmouth Has to Bow to the
Enevi table Scores of Citi
zens Proves it.
After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of Platts
mouth, given below, you must come to
this conclusion: A remedy which cured
yenrs ago, which has kept the kidneys
in good health since, can be relied up
on to perform the same work in other
cases. Read this:
J. W. Hickson, Oak Street, Platts
mouth, Nebr., says: "I will never
cease to praise Dean's Kidney Pills,
as they were of such great benefit to
me several years ago. My kidneys and
back were a source of constant suffer
ing and I was subject to attacks of
lumbago that came on without the
least warning. The simplest move
ment was painful and I was anoyed
more or less by the irregular passages
of the kidney secretions. I read so
much about Doan's Kidney Pills, that
I finally procured a box from Gcring &
Co. 'a drug store. I was so gratified
with the results of their use that I
publicly endorsed them in 1900 and at
this time, I heartily renew that state,
ment. I hope that other kidney suf
ferers will profit by my experience."
