BnATRICK , Neb. , Jan. 16. ( Special. )
If what Mrs. Carl aelslcr No. 2 says Is
true Mr. Carl Gclsler baa been making mat
rimony a business with him profitable tor
a time , but now about to meet his Water
loo. Many Beatrice people remember him ,
although now absent from the state nearly
three years. About three years and a half
ago he met rind , shortly afterward married
wife No. 1. She was a widow with a tow
hundred 1 dollars , left her by her flrst hus
band 1 , and there are Mrs. Oclslers 'who '
charge that ho had designs on the money
from the llrst. At any rate , soon after ho
was first married , Mrs. aelslcr No. 1 says
that ho got control of the money , gave her
SI and sent her away on a visit. When ehe
returned her spouse and cash had disap
peared. She did not drown herself , for hav
ing three children she at once began to work
to sustain them. They are now Ii , 7 and
IB years old respectively. The oldest , a
girl , Is in the Homo for the Friendless. Not
a word did she ever he'ir from her false
and faithless spoueu. But the police did.
Yesterday 'there came to Chief of Police
Scroggs a letter from 'wife No. 2. She
lives at Cincinnati , and judging from thl.i
letter Is preparing to make It hot for
Colder. Enclosed was also a letter to wife
No. 1 , Oclslcr , In a burst of confidence ,
having told of his Nebraska wife. Wife
No. 2 asked wife No. 1 If ehe would "come
to Cincinnati and assist in prosecuting-
their partnership husband , wife No. 2 to
defray all expenses. And wife No. 1 Is
going. She IB a "hard-working , honest Ger
man woman and her "Dutch Is up. "
The Cincinnati woman tells this story :
She said that ehe met Oelsler about three
yeara .ago and was eoon after married to
him. She had property worth about $3,000 ,
and this he Induced her to trade for a form ,
which rhe 'afterward discovered was worth
less. What became of the cash difference
she does not say , but 'hints ' rather strongly.
Evidently she was ready to overlook this
little Irregularity she says he left her
twlcb and each time she look him back ,
but she sajs ho deliberately wooed , won
and married another Cincinnati woman ,
making wife No. 3. This busted the show
nnd wtoen ho came back the third 'time
she fired him out. She now proposes having
him prosecuted.

itUb the exception ot a imoll amount of

'ho building now used as a. penitentiary
mlldlng Is located at Lanunle and ww

MADRID , Jan. 16. The- absence of news
from Manila Is attributed by the Spaniards
to the alleged orders ot President McKtnlcy

CANNOT EXCHANGE THE ISLANDS.
Diplomat * Take No Stock In
New Philippine. Story.
LONDON , Jan. 16. Diplomats refuse to
take seriously the revival of the report
cabled from Washington that the United
States is willing to exchange the Philippine
stands for the British West Indian Islands ,
A high official of the foreign office char
acterized the statement as absurd. He sale
liat while the continental powers appeared
.o be willing to permit the United States to
hold the Philippines as spoils of war , they
would not likely remain passive spectator
: o a change In the balance of power In the
east which would result from Great
Britain's acquirement of these Islands , par
ticularly so at this time in the struggle for
domination In China.
The official quoted further remarked tha
he did not bellcvo Great Drltaln or the
United States courted the Inevitable protests
which -would result from the exchange.
If such negotiations are on foot the offi
cials of the United States embassy here
have no knowledge of them.

portance to American commerce and Influ
ence In the far east , where Immeasurable
opportunities would otherwise bo lost.
Mr. Darrett emphasled the fact that the
nations which , like England , were chiefly
concerned , approved of permanent American
control , and concluded with the remark tha
all nations Interested could safely trust to
the good Judgment of President McKlnley.

For years the medical profession and people
ple generally have been Inquiring "what Is
the cause of rheumatism ? " Mllllonn have
suffered from Its strange attacks , have en
dured In silence and still wondered what
could have caused It. Llko all great things
In , this world , ( he cause Is very simple whcu
clearly understood.
Uric acid In the blood Is the ono great
cause of All this trouble , nil this pain , all
this annoyance , which so often wrecks the
life.
life.Uut
Uut how does this uric ncld get Into the
blood ? That Is the great question.
Uric acid gets Into the blood , poisons the
blood and often ruins the life , because U I *
not expelled from the system.
Hut how can It bo thrown out of the sys
tem ? ,
In ono way and one way only through th
kidneys. | Is this not simple , Is It not reason
able It ! true !
U Is because the kidneys nre not doing
.
their . duty that the uric ncld remains In the
body , gets Into blood , causes those terrible
pains ' In the joints and muscles and fre
quently brings on more serious troubles.
Them has never been but one way by
which the kidneys could be kept In perfect
condition ! and good working order , and that
Is by the use of that great modern discovery
' Warner's Safe Cure. This has been proven
conclusively ! by the millions of people who
have used It , by the millions who have boon ,
helped and by these who nre In perfect
health today.
You know this , reader , If you will only
stop and "think. Recall how many time *
you have read the grateful words of men and
women who have been In the depths of bit
terness and who have been restored by using
Warner's Safe Cure. There arc an untold
number of people today who would bo In an
exhausted condition from rheumatism If It
were not for a constant use of this great dis
covery.
