MrKwn'i own testi mony, her married life wilh the president of tho Me Keen Motor company was one of mitliiual unhapplnees. because of the vio lent temper ascribed to the defendant, his Itil.uls of complete silence towards her, i i nsures before ae:vants, Inquiries of serv unia us to Mrs. Mi Keen's conduct, sjid Hinges of immoral qonduct. When IcstlmJiiy had been concluded At torney Brosan stated to the. court that the "unfounded chars of Immoral conduct is the specific ground upon which the case resta." Besides Mrs. McKeen, her brother, Harry 3. New of Indiaiiupulln, and a colored miild, C'allle Anderson, took the stand. Mrs. New, mother of the plaintiff, was also In court. McKeen was not. Attorney Brognn appeared for the plalntirf and an Indian apolis lawyer named Duncan sat beside him. . W. V. Gui ley appeared In behalf of McKeen, who offered no resistance to the Issuance of a decree. Mr. McKeen described her married life In detail. Her testimony was based upon a bill of particulars, from which she read. Thla bill was mado out by the plaintiff's counsel when the defense asked for It, thn original petition simply charging extreme cruelty, without going into details. Accused Her of Fllrtlna. "once when a pUy was over at a theater he pushed ami shoved me rudely coming out and accused mu of flirting with an orchestra player," said Mrs. McKeen of her husband. "I told him that 1 had not, and that the only thing which had hap pened was that the orehestia man stared Insolently at another woman In the box. He said also that I had tried to flirt with tho hackdrlver, and that if such a thing happened again he would insult me pub licly. '1 went to Europe with my mother In 1907 and when I asked him about going he said he 'did not give a .' Once I was playing a tune on the piano and when I finished he began to whistle It and to whistle. It Incorrectly. I began to play It over to help him and he flew Into a rage." Harry 8. New. former chairman of the republican national committee, described McKeen's conduct toward his sister as "quiet, rude, sullen." His testimony was mainly a confirmation of Mrs. McKeen's regarding the silence of McKeen and his calling her "a fool and a perfect Idiot." to which Mrs. McKeen had also testified. The maid, Callie Henderson, declared that McKeen had often upbraided Mrs. McKeen before the servants and had asked her about Mrs. McKeen's conduct with other men. FOG LIKE OLD 'FRISCO HAS Caused hjr Mixture of fold and Warna Air ( iirrents Dnrlnx Exees. sire Humidity. The dense fog that has enveloped Omaha and vicinity and brought visions of San Francisco Is caused by a mixture of cold and warm air currents during a period of excessive humidity, according to Weather Forecaster Welsh. The fog has not spread over a wide area, but has been almost local. It la tha densest many people here have ever seen.

WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES A bad hack' turns every twenty-four houis into one dill round of pain and mUery-you are lame In the morning, nag ged all day by a dull, throbbing backache, din t rest in the exenlng or sleep well Ht Sdght. It hurts to bend over, straighten up, et u,, frint a iha'r. or lilt even a light weight. Any sudden twist, turn or awk ward movement sends a tearing twinge of pain through the weak spot. r.Hikaehe is really kldney-aohe. The kid i.i are In the small of the back, and any pain there Is enough cause to suspect your kidneys. If the urlna Is dlsclored. con tains sandy sediment, or passes too fre quently, then you have double proof. kttp the kidneys well and the kidneys wi.l ki.p you well. Well kidneys filter the blood aud keep It pure. Diseased kidneys t.n.y partly purify the blood. Neglect weak kidney a and you Invite uric acid poisoning, gravel, stor.e In the kidney, rheumatism, h.art trouble, diabetes.

It is a Warning that the Kidneys are Sick and Need Help. ' WOT Vifei mis a 1 5rMK I CANY STRAIGHTEN UP The simplest and most effective remedy for sick kidneys Is Doan's Kidney rills. If there is weakness, congestion. Inflamma tion or soreness. lHan's Kidney Pills quickly relieve it. They gently stimulate, tone and strengthen sick kidneys, drive away backache, rheumatic pain nnd dizzi ness, clear up and regulate the urine, and restore a perfect filtering of the blood. Best of all, this relief Is permanent. OMAHA moor John C. Hnefler, living at 2US Burdette St.. Omaha, Neb., says: "A dull, heavy aching across the kidney regions bothered me for a long time, being especially severe when I stooped or lifted. I used medicines recommended fur kidney trouble but my back continued to ache as badly as ever. At last I had the good fortune to hear of Doan'a Kidney Pills and, believing that they would help me, I procured a box from Scnaefer'a lut Price trug Store. They positively removed my trouble and during the years thai have since relapsed I have had no recurrence of It. I take a few doses of Doan'a Kidney Pills now and then and find that they act aa a tonic to my system and keep my kidneys in a healthy condi tion. Words but feebly express my opinion of this valuable remedy." DOAN'S JUDNBY PILLS SoM by all dealer! . Pries se cent. Fostm-Milbuku Co.. Buffalo. K.Y.. Proprietors. SKELETON OF MAN DUG UP Thought to Be That of Indian Killed by Blow on Head. SKULL SHOWS THE FRACTURE Old Clay ripe and Collar Button Be. aide nonrs Burled Quarter of Century, Says Doctor Who See It inn Ins.

From the condition of the bones, which have been interred so long, they are dis connected and covered only with dirt and fiber. Dr. Little, who Uvea across the street from tho scene of the discovery, thinks the body was burled twenty-five or fifty years ago. and says there Is as much probability of It belrg the skeleton of a white man ns of an Iiidian.

An old cemetery of about thirty graves was what Adams and Douglas uncover. d fifteen years ao while tjruduig near Twenty-seventh street and Woolworth ave nue, and Ferguson's other cxpirince wl'ii finding bones was gome time ago, when he unearthed a skeleton whllM grading in southeastern Nebraska.
