Xia mat Culu Olive Dodendorf LaPage, whose run away marriage, when 16 years of age, to Harry LaPage, then 17, was of a sensa tional character, having beea accomplished over the opposition of the parents of. her sweetheart, the objections of her own fam ily and in spile of the police, who on sev eral occasion blocked the plans of the couple, has brought suit In the district court for I10.0UO gainst Mr, and Mrs. Ed ward LaPage, 1502 liurdette street, her husband's parents. She alleges In her petition that her parents-ln-law have alienated her hus band's affections. Mra. LaPage intended to sue her hus band for divorce, because she claimed he had been won away from her by his parents, but when she confessed to her at torney, John O. Yelser. that she still loved her husband and it was only a case of older people Interfering, the divorce suit was changed to a suit for damges. The girl was married to Harry LaPage in Wahoo in April, 1906. after having eluded the police, who were looking for her; by walking to South Omaha to board a train. Upon their return to Omaha It was pub lished that Mrs. LaPage said she would never forgive her son or accept his wife In her home, though no effort was made to annul the marriage. The two lived to gether until last February and they have one child. What the Girl Says. In her petition the girl says: The family relations between plaintiff and her husband up to February, 19oS. were happy, loving and tender and nothing ex isted to estrange them, the birth of said child serving to add strength to said ties of marriage; that defendants have ever since the husband of plaintiff was 18 years of age, unitedly and individually, mali ciously aggravated and Injured plaintiff by depriving her of the comfort, fellowship, love, protection and support of her hus band; that defendants have wrongfully and unjustly Instigated and persuaded the said Harry LaPagu, unlawfully and without ex cuse and aalnst the will and consent of the plaintiff, to depart, absent and sep arate himself from the said plaintiff and her infant aforesaid and have wrongfully and maliciously caused the said Harry La Page to lose his respect, love and affec tion for the plaintiff and have wrongfully and maliciously, by design and persistent meddling, gosalp and slander, Intended to and succeeded in alienating the affection of said Harry LaPage from his wife, the plaintiff herein; that plaintiff has suffered and sustained damages by reason of said acta in the sum of ten thousand dollars t10,000), no part of which has been paid.

Forb- Senator Roberts Frederick Malcolm Kate Roberts Klsa Payne Mrs. John Burkett Ryder Ada Levlck John Burkett Ryder Paul Everton Maid Lillian Buckingham "The Lion 'and the Mouse" Is a good means of entertainment, but the best thing about the play Is that what It represents Is not true. Mr. Klein has committed an egregious error in not changing the time of his little drama so that It will not read "the present." For certainly even his Mr. John Readymoney Ryder wouldn't assume the enormous risk of saying that such a situa tion could be. fitted Into these days ot po litical virtue and commercial rectitude. And so, after being held down to a spectacular exhibition of the distressing anomaly of a private individual bossing a public gov ernment for four long acts. It is refresh ing to wake up and find this' nightmare of turpitude Is but the merest phantom, capa ble at best of but typifying the exact con ditions which the very government this tyrant Is pictured as domineering Is the same one that for the last few years has be.en strenuously engaged In wiping off the political and Industrial map the sort ot power he represents. At that the play Is Interesting and doubtless elbows realism at several angles. It is likewise well acted. This man, John Readymoney Ryder, mani festly Is a hydraheaded being. Undoubt edly he and his brethren who are able to drive kingdoms of finance are yet unable to rule their own households, and it Is not unlikely that the very reason Is that enun ciated by 8hirley Rossmore when she de clares to Mr. Rydee"that he Is unable to govern his own domestic affairs only be cause he Is unable to govern himself. In Its most thrilling feature, a feature that can not but entertain If It does not lm- i press, the play presents an aspect of public life which could never long subsist In a country where the atmosphere of freedom Is breathed by Its citizen. One private citizen, a billionaire, tyrannical, merciless and in his Inordinate ambition for power, sits In his office in New York, calls United States senators and sends them on hls er rands as mere puppets; frames and secures the passage of what measures he wants In congress; Inspires and procures the publi cation of what editorials and news matter Tie wishes all for the one purpose of pro moting his Indefensible Interests, and these Individuals, public servants, high and low, run at his beck and call like good, obedi ent sycophants. No, Mr. Klein should change that word "present" to give the least possibility pf actuality to his play. Yet the play interests and entertains as it did before when given at the Boyd. The love thread Is nicely woven through the fabric. It was greeted by a fair sited house last night and the audience gave most critical attention. The company Is good. Miss Dorothy Donnelly, James Colley, Frederick Malcolm and Paul Everton all fill their parts with strength. Edward Lambert as Bagley was a comedian who added a bright spot to the performance. He certainly outlines the character of our British cousins of his rank with fascinating precision. The piece will be given tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee Satur day. ' "Ills Terrible Secret," at the Kragr. With Its scenes laid In Africa and with a weird and somewhat unreal leading character, Charles K. Blaney's production of the drama, "Hie Terrible Secret, or the Man Monkey," with William 11. Turner in the leading role, opened a three-night engagement at the Krug the ater Thursday to a well-filled house. It Is the same old story of the papers, thi villain and the heroine who Is saved by the hero, but It Is presented in this pro duction with a good cast and a novef hero, who Is presumed TO be half monkey and half man. The stage settings are reallntlc and a number of startling me- , rhanical effects are Introduced. A few specialties are Introduced during ths course of the play. "His Terrible Se cret" closes Saturday night, with the usual matinee on that day. COMMISSION AND AUTOS Statement of the Board Shows What . it Haa Expended for Vehicles.

Women hare se much to go through In life that It Is a pity there Is se much needless suffering from backache, head ache, dimness, languor and other com mon aches and ills of kidney complaint. Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted In this way. Women are prone to kidney trouble. They have so much Indoor work to do, o mueh lifting, bending and stooping, they are bound by custom to tight, heavy clothing. They get llttla outdoor exer cise, and any little cold may bring on a kidney weakness. Don't worry If you feel tired and drag ged out If you have backache and boar-tngj-down pain, headache, dizzy spells, falntness and lack of ambition. Don't think It's soma trouble peculiar to the sea. Men suffer la the same way when they have kidney trouble. Ask yoifrself this question: 'Are my kidneys welir Tbe condition of the kid nay secretions may give you an answer. If there Is a brick-dust sediment, or a Stringy settling In the urine; if passages are too freouent and copious, or scanty Ml and painful. It Is time to begin asiaf Doan's Kidney Pills. Delay may run yo Into Bright's disease or diabetes. Doan's Kidney Pills are a special tned. ' Iclne for the kidneys, and do not affect the bowels or any other organs. There Is not a particle of poison In them Just the pure roots and herbs that oature in tended for curing the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cure every form of kidney trouble. Read the testimony of a woman In your own city, perhaps a neigh bor: OMAHA TXBTIMOxTT Mrs. J. Bellstein, 1004 Elm Bt, Omaha, Neb., says: "Tbe time which has elapsed since I first used Doan's Kidney Pills haa not diminished my good opinion of then in the least and I continue to recommend them whenever an opportunity presents itself. Kidney complaint had' annoyed me for a long time and I was often la misery from the sharp pains through my back.' If I stooped or lifted, ray suffer ing was always more intense and conse quently It was hard for me to perform my housework, loan's Kidney Pills banished all these troubles so effectively that Ibey have never returned. Mr. Bellstein alsa used them and the results In his rate were Just as satisfactory." If BOATTS. KIDNEY PILLS. tsM , aZrfeottes. IMA M T 0 BTT ttA'tTRW -CO, &cril, X. Y, iS-arlata.
