lows: Cot of physlclann, $12S; purees, $360;

Ilosslo Stiles has brought suit In the
equity division of tho district court against
B. C. Stiles, night yardmaster for the Rock
island railway In this cty, to compel him
to pay her $50 per month for her separato
maintenance and $100 as attornoy fees. An
attachment was Issued against Stiles' wages.
In her petition Rosslc Stiles alleges she
Is tho wife of tho defendant; that sho was
married to hlra ln this city In October, 1801,
and that they continued to live together as
man and wife until April 21 last, when ho
deserted her. Sho alleges that ho receives
wages amounting to $80 per month.
Stiles yesterday filed a motion to quash
tho attachment on tho grounds that It was
Issued without law or authority; that no
bond was filed; that tho petition was not
filed and that Stiles' wages are exempt
from attachment, as he is the head of a
family. In his affidavit ln support of the
motion Stiles alleges that the woman calling
herself Rosslo Stiles Is not his wlfo and that
he was never mnrrled to her. Ho nlso
sets up that he is tho ,solo support of his
aged father.
Attorneys for the plaintiff admitted yes
terday that no marriage ceremony had over
beon performed between the pallntiff and
defendant, but tho marriage claimed Is a
common law one. The plaintiff Is soveral
years older than Stiles and has two grown
up daughters.

SIOUX CITY, la., May 15. (Special.) A
great deal of Interest Is manifest In Wood

........ A.. 1. r ,i..in... .II..I.
in ino iwo cuiiiuiu, .11111 which iiosisiuiy niu
be extended Into Harrison county. All ob
jection so far as Is known In Woodbury
and Monona counties has been removed and
about all that remains to bo done Is to
assess the property abutting ulong the pro
posed ditch so that the cost may be appor
tioned among thoso who will be benefited.
It Is estimated thc ditch as. 111 drain about
6,000 acres of land ln Woodbury and 12,000
In Monona and It will cost each landowner
nbout $2 for each acre of property ho may
own abutting on tho ditch or which will
bo drained by the same. Governor L. M.
Shaw of Iowa Is ono of tho largest rand
owners along the Missouri bottoms and ho
has worked very hard to put tho project
through.
The drain -will bo about thirteen miles
long and nbout four and one-half miles of
this will bo In Woodbury county. It will
be on an average of seven feet deep and
forty feet wide. It Is to havo a fall of one
nnd one-half feet to the mile and will causo
water to How from ono end to tho other
ln nbout two hours nnd thirty minutes. At
present It takes about 25 pt-r cent of the
water and Its overllow nbout two and one
half das to get away from the upper
land. Most of it never goes nt all, but
simply lies on tho ground ns surface water.
Tho totaly cost of tho ditch will be about
$41,000 and all this l paid for by tho
I abutting landowners nnd those who derive
! i1Pnoflt
For years this land has been used for sim
ply nothing but hay land, owing to thc water
which lies on It a greater part of the
rainy season. It has been out of the ques
tion to cultlvnto It and tho ditch seems
to bo tho only feasible means of putting tho
land to nny particular UbC. Part of tho
distance It will run In creek beds, which
will save much work In construction. Work
may bo commenced yet this year.

If they nre unable to answer thc charges
ngalnst them they will bo reprimanded by
tho board and may havo their certificates
to practice revoked. The secretary has
been instructed to summon the threo phy

tho result of tho complaints which havo
come from a nurnbor at localities In the

been to pepper tho state. In tho language

Many girls after passing the age of puberty begin to decline rapidly. At
the very time their attractiveness should be the most pronounced, their complex
ions begin to sallow and dark half moons appear under their eyes. They become
angular in form and age rapidly. They lose their light and elastic step and
move languidly about, half-dead, half-alive. At this critical period Wine of
Cardui brings all needed relief by regulating thc menstrual flow and invigorating
the female organs. Mothers understand that to neglect their daughters at this stage is
to inflict on them a life time of misery. Early disorders of the menstrual function are
fraught with the greatest danger. They quickly undermine the health of a young
woman, no matter how robust she may be. Thousands of young girls just budding
into conscious womanhood are enjoying health and are developing regular menstrual
habits by the use of Wine of Cardui. The remedy may be purchased from your druggist
at $1 a bottle. Take no aubtitute for Wine of Cardui.
