Saengcrfest Athletic association put up
Rrady got $3,7t0 nnd Madden only $1,250.
Urady was manager for the athletic as
sociation hero as well ns for Jeffries. He
paid for the services of Ed Cook and other
promoters, for tho tickets printed by tho
National Notu company and other current
expenses,
Manager Urndy after settling tho Saengor-

offering to glvo a benefit hero for the
Saengerfcst Athlotlc association,, at which
Jeffries and others will aiiDcar, the date io
be flxod within tho next week by too
boncflclarlcs. Urady and Jeffries promlso
to tako two tlukots for themselves each at
100, besides offering their services In the
benefit. Doth managers Issued cards of
thanks nnd regrets to tho Snengerfest Ath-
otic association.
Both managers insist that they have no
tlmo or placo In view for tho nicotine of
Jeffries and Ituhlln. Urndy was emphatic In
stating that this bad been nuch a losing
gamo In Cincinnati and that he nnd Jeffries
would never enter into nnother agreement
for n championship contest without having
n guaranty of protection under tho law as
well as a financial guaranty. The Snongor
fest Athletic nssoclatlon Is closing up
nffnlrs today. Thero will bo nothing moro
heard of prl?o fights here, not oven nn
appealing of tho Injunction in court.
Today ovcrythlng was packed tin at n!'.

Snengerfest Athletic nssoclatlon directors
nnd of Mnnngers Urndy nnd Madden the

National bank, was thin afternoon turned

Of tho $5,000 forfeit deposited for tho

lor tne haenRcrfest Athletic association, as
wen aB for Jeffries.
Chlldo and Martin, who were to fight hero

Severely Cut III the
Forehead.
Tho vengeance of a woman scorned camo
near working double murder at 1805 Locust
stieel last night. It was a domestic trag
edy, In whltJi Mary Adams and her
divorced husband, Joseph G. Adams, wero
tho principal aetors, and a bottle of dendly
uitrlo acid, a revolver ami a heavy teapot
were tbe weapons.
Mrs. Adams reached tho home of her
former husband with mind befuddled with
liquor and ho.-irt rankling with bitterness
nnd If her plans had not miscarried thero
would hive been n fatal ending to tho
desperate fight she engaged in.
As It was, J. Adams had more than an
ounco of nitric ticld thrown Into his fnco,
his former wife received two ugly wounds
on the forehead, being struck with a heavy
teapot, nearly nil tho dishes, crockeryware
and breakable furniture In tho house was
smashed Into pieces nud the youthful sec
oud wifo of Adams' was terror-stricken bo
hiud the locked door of a second-story
room.
Joseph (1. Adams Is a well known .com
mission mnn. with offices nt tho Live Stock
exchnnge in South Omaha, nnd ho has lived
nt 1803 Locust street In this city for sovornl
yenrs. Mrs. Mary Adams until nbout n
yenr ago had been the woman of the house
In which she undertook to etui her former
husband's life Inst night.
llrlnn Suit for Divorce.
A llttlo moro than a year agl, It Is said.
Adams began suit for divorce on tho
grounds of drunkenness. Ho continued to
llvo with tho woman from whom ho sought
a legol separation and on tho evening the
summons In tho divorce case wns brought
to the house he tore it Into shreds nnd
told his wife thnt he would not press tho
suit If she would reform.
Soon nfter this Inrldcnt, und while hus
band nnd wife wcro seemingly on good
terms. Mr. Adnms sent his wife to 'Den
ver, where she mado a lengthy visit. Im
mediately upon her return from this trip, It
Is nlleged, she went to Grlnnell. la., whoro
she visited relatives for some weeks.
During the wife's absenco the husband
pressed his suit for divorce nnd last Juno
secured a decrco from Judge Dickinson of
tho district court. It Is said service wns
secured on tbo defendant by publication
niid that Mrs. Adams knew nothing of tho
case untl nfter It had been closed. While
still In lown sho learned that Adnms had
succeeded In getting his dlvorco und had
married lC-year old Claro Quann.
Mary Adams, who hnd become Mrs.
Adnms No, 1. returned to Omnha nnd reg
Istcrcd nt the llnrkcr hotel on Thursday.
Yesterday she drank heavily and In tho
evening colled n messenger boy nnd wi'.h
him left tbo hotel nbout 7:15 o'clock.
Going directly to her formor homo, sho
sent tho messenger boy to ring tho bell nt
tho front door whllo sho knocked at the
back door. Mrs. Adams No. 2 responded
to tho call nt tho front door, whllo Adams
went to the rear entrance.
Aeld In the Fnee.
As ho opened", tho door nnd beforo he
recognized his caller ho hnd burning acid
thrown Into his faro. Tho partially blinded
,man then .recognized his discarded wife,
nnd ns She reshed in upon him sho drew
'n revolver" from tho folds of her dress
innd wns nout to flro when ho seized her
'nrnjs nnd wrenched tbo wenpon from her
srasp.
A despcrnto strugglo ensued In which tho
woman fought llko nn enraged tlgrers. She
tried tlmo and ngaln to reach the revolver
which had fallen to the floor, but the
strength of tho man was too much for her.
Finally Adams managed to get hold of a
heavy aguto-waro teapot nnd with this ho
dealt his despcrato assailant two violent
blows on tho forehead. Illood spurted from
the gashes cut In the woman's hend and
covered her face, but sho fought on until
sho was thrown bleeding nnd almost ex
hausted Into the backynrd.
During tho excitement Adams bad for
gotten his ncld-burnt face, but Just as
soon as ho had succeeded in getting tho
woman out of tbe house ho rushed for the
nenrcst drug store. In his bnsto for relief
he forgot to lock the door or to look after
Mrs. Adams No. 2. who had taken refuge In
a Bocond-story room. When ho left tho
premises Mrs. Adams No. 1 re-entered tho
houso In search of tho young woman who
had succeeded her.
Seeks the Yountr Wife,
Sho endeavored to break Into tho room
where tho young wifo wns shivering In ter
ror, but wns unable to force tho lock. Then
tho maddened woman rushed through tbe
houso smashing things right and left and
almost everything brenkablo was In pieces
when J. B Taylor and his sou, neighbors,
rushed In nnd cnrrlcd the woman off to

woman and fighting frantically to get away
from the officers.
Fpou tho nrrlval of the party at tho sta
tion Police Surgeon Ames first nt tended
Adams. It was found that the acid had
covered the left bait ot tho forehead and
tho eyollds, but none bad entered the eye.
Dr, Ames said that the Injury might leave
a permanent scar, but It would not blind the
eye.
Tho cuts on Mrs. Adams' head were found
to be not very serious, only n fow stitches
being necessary to close them. After Mrs,
Adams' wounds wero dresied sho recovered
from hysteria, but seemed to bo In n dazed
condition. She said her husband hnd sent
for her and when she had responded lie
had thrown acid in her faco and had at
lempted to kill her. "He's married to that
Clara Quann," sho repeated Innumerable
times,

We arc constantly publlshinn; letters from gr;itc(ul people who have been

men, jurists, and professional men, but also letters of thanks from people in
the ordinary walks of life, those who earn their daily bread by outdoor work,
as wnll ns from tho woman whose work confines her to tho iiouse from ono
end of tho week to the other, and whose only recreation nnd exercise Is tho
work she doos at home. Where could you And a stronger guarantee of a
medicine's worth than the strong words of policeman .lohn W. Hognn and
his wife, 1910 East Seventeenth St., Kansas City, Mo.V He says :
My wife is a living example of what Dr. Greene's Nervura can
do for any one that is all worn out and run down. She took sev
eral bottles of the Nervura and we both feel that we can not do or
say too much in praise of your wonderful medicine. Knowing
what it had done for my wife, and as I was feeling unwell myself,
I think caused from the constant strain that is on me looking after
the busy corner which is under my charge, I also took some Ner
vura and find that it has made me all right." J. W. HOGAN.
We also publish herevr; th his wife's loiter, both speaking words of strongest

For over a year I have suffered from a Nervous difficulty.
I could not sleep at night and was constantly troubled with
Nervous Sick Headaches to such an extent thai, my life was a
burden to me. I heard of another woman who had taken Dr.
Greene's Nervura and who had been made well and strong by it, so
that made me determine to take it, too. I did so and found that it
did all you claimed for it. My nerves are strong, my headaches
are all gone, and I feel that your medicine has made a nev -woman
of me. I cannot say too much in praise of it, for it certainly is a
great medicine for all suffering women.'' MRS. C. E. HOGAN.
