When the divorce suit of Gaulter vs. Gaultcr was called In Judge Gates' court yesterday, a slender, neatly dressed woman of about 33 walked forward and took her seat on the plaintiffs side of the counsel table alone. Her husband, u. large, raw-boned man with a heavy red mustache, down on the other side of the table with his attorney, Joe McCoy. "Where is your lawyer, madam?" Inquired Judge Gates, as he looked over his glasses at Mri.

Gaulter. "I have none, sir." said Mrs. Gaultcr, SHH ACTED AS HER.OWN LAWYER. rising to her feet. "I wish to be my own lawyer.

1 prefer It." "She couldn't get any lawyer to take her case. Is the reason she hasn't any," said Mr. McCoy. "That isn't true and know it," said Mrs. Gaulter, in a tone of mild reproach.

"Shall I appoint a lawyer for you?" asked the Judge. "Do you mean Just to assist me? Or do you mean that the lawyer you appoint would expect to have charge of the case?" Judge Gates smiled and told Mrs. Gaulter any attorney he might appoint would expect to have entire charge. This was not agreeable to Mrs. Gaulter.

She wanted to try her case herself, she said. After fifteen 'or twenty minutes of preliminary talk. Judge Gates reluctantly consented for her to proceed, but warned her that if she got Into a tangle, as he feared she would, he would stop the case and appoint a lawyer. Mrs. Gaulter's first witness was herself.

Judge E. L. Scarrltt was the next that she called to the stand, and following him were several residents of Independence, where she and her husband have been living. Although Mrs. Gaulter referred to the court a time or two as "Mr.

Gates," and frequently stopped and studied 'long between the questions she put to her witnesses. Judge Gates showed no inclination to interfere, but evidently became inter ested. Mormon Tenet Involved. Altogether, the case is one of the queer est ever in the circuit court. The parties to the suit and nearly all the witnesses are Mormons, and the laws of the church are Involved in the case.

Mrs. Mabel Gaulter and William Gaulter were married at Decatur, 111., in 1SSL Both were Latter. Day Saints. About three years ago they moved from Lamonl, to Independence, Mo. It was soon after the arrival at Independence, Mr.

Gaulter claims, that his wife and several other women tried to build up a separate branch of Mormonlsm, having to do with free love and other extreme Ideas, He claims that these women became estranged from their husbands and lived apart from them in a house to themselves. They had communistic ideas about the ownership of ground, he said, and refused to pay rent on thit account. In this way they got into trouble with Daniel Bowcn, of Independence, In whose house they lived. Mrs. Gaulter told on the witness stand that her husband had driven all love for I him out of her by his cruelty and abuse.

She had wanted a divorce for several years, she said, but was deterred from seeking one by the laws of the Mormon church, which forbid divorce on any other ground than adultery. The elders told me I had better die now than to lose my soul In the hereafter by procuring a divorce without proper cause." she said. "Under this ruling of the church 1 was compelled to live with him and sub- MRS. RICHARDSON'S WORK FOR Ellen A. Richardi-on.

Is t.ie cause of rheumatism?" Millions have suffered from its strange attacks, have endured In silence and still wondered what could have caused It. Like all great things In this world, the caue is very simple when clearly understood. Uric acid In the blood Is the one grcnt cause of all this trouble, all tills pain, all this annoyance, which so often wrecks the life. But how does this uric acid get Into the blood? That is the great question. Uric acid gets into the blood, poisons the blood, and often ruins the life, because It is not expelled from the system.

But how can It be thrown out of the system? In one way and one way only through the kldncjs. Is this not simple, is it not reasonable it is true! It Is because the kidneys are not doing their duty that the uric acid remains in the body, gets into the blood, causes those terrible pains In the joints and muscles and frequently brings on more serious troubles. There 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 been helped and by those who are in perfect health to-day. iou know this, reader, if you will only stop nnu think.

Recall how many times you have read the grateful words of men and women have been In the depths of bitterness and who have been restored by using Warner's Safe Cure. There are an untold number of people to-day who would be In an exhausted condition from rneumausm.ir it were not for a constant use of this great discovery. mit to his abuse rather than transgress the una vL tne cuurcii. She Talk Shrewdly and Well. Mrs.

Gaulter, used good language and talked shrewdly and well. She held one arm akimbo with the hand resting on the arm 01 tne witness chair. leaning slightly forward, toward Judge Gates and the stenographer. She watched the stenographer as she talked and cut her sentences Into bits and phrases, as though dictating to him. She wore a smooth fitting dress of greenish cloth and a fashionable hat with a dark brown plume.

She and. Mr. Gaulter have four children, the oldest 14. Each Is willing that the other should have a divorce, but both are anxious to have the custody of the children, and the real fight in the caso is over this point. When her husband left her last summer and returned to Lamonl.

he sent an amateur detective to secure the children from their mother. The father got possession them In this way and Mrs. Gaulter brought habeas corpus proceedings to re-galn-possesslon orthem. The hearing was before Judge-Scarrltt. who persuaded the couple to live together again for the sake of their children.

It was In regard to this that Mrs. Gaulter had Judge Scarrltt testify. C. R. Thomas, of -Independence, who gives the oldest girl $1 a week and her board for her services as a nurse, testified that the little girl was faithful and good and sliowed the effects of good training.

Tears came into the mother's eyes as she asked Mr. Thomas: "Do you think, from your conversation with her. that she loves me?" "I certainly think she does." "Do you know whether she desires to live at home with me?" "I have often heard her say that she did." The "Woman's Heart Vm There. Mrs. Gaulter quie'tly wiped the tears from her eyes and asked: "And do you think that I am sane?" The witness smiled and replied that he certainly had no doubt of her sanity.

This question was asked by Mrs. Gaulter because her husband's chief charge against her Is that she is crazy on the subject of loveism." She and all her friends emphatically deny this. E. W. Marks, of Independence, a private In the Third regiment, testified tnat he had seen Gaulter abuse his wife.

Gaulter'a reputation for veracity, he said, was not cood. Marks is also a Mormon and his wife and Mrs. Gaulter are intimate friends. In cross-examining Mr. Marks, Mr.

McCoy asked: "You and your wife have had a good deal of trouble, have you not, Mr. Marks?" "That question Is out of order," said Mrs. Gaulter quickly. Judge Gates and the members of the bar present smiled at the expression "out of order." and Judge Gates said: "Objection sustained." Among Mrs. Gaulter's witnesses who were not reached before court adjourned was a patriarchal old man with long, white beard, who sat in the courtroom with his cap on.

his bony hands crossed over the head of a crooked corkscrew cane, and his chin resting on his hands. He was a Mormon also. His sitting In the courtroom with his cap on attracted the attenlon of the spectators, who nudged each other and pointed, laughingly, at the old man. There was considerable speculation as to whether his failure to remove his cap was not attributable to ope of his religious tenets, exempting him from allegiance to any earthly court. One spectator's curiosity was so much aroused that he questioned the old man and found that he retained his cap to shade one of his eyes, which had been injured.

At the adjournment of court Airs. Gaulter's little girl ran up to her mother and put her arms around her waist. Mrs. Gaulter is a determined, intense looking woman with prominent features, gray eyes and a small coil of light brown hair. Her face Is thin and sunken about the mouth and cheeks.

She looks as though she might once have been pretty. A WASHINGTON flEMORIAL. phen 11. ElKlns. Mrs.

In Justice Spitz' court yesterday the rather unusual spectacle was presented of a doctor, who had been sued as a restaurant keeper, acting as his own lawyer for in the case, and one not overlooked by Justice Spitz, who has a way of getting at the facts In a controversy sometimes rather startling to litigants, was the nature of the counter claim which the physician-restaurateur set up. The plaintiff.

Alice Harbert. had sued Dr. H. Moh-ler. who runs a restaurant near Fifth and Walnut streets, for $7, claimed as balance due for four weeks' work at $2 and $2.50 a week, and In the account which the defendant submitted to show his non-indebtedness, was a bill for $7 for medical services to the plaintiff's little boy, who, according to the testimony, had a sore throat.

The "medical services" were all rendered at the same time, and consisted of an examination at $5, and two prescriptions at Jl each. The judge bore patiently the profuse testimony of the defendant, but when the bill for professional services was put in his hand he reached for a pen. "I don't care for any further evidence," he said; Judgment for the plaintiff in the sum of And he added, sotto voice: "The idea of a man letting a poor woman work her finger nails oft for him and kick on naying her $2 a week, after putting in a bill like that for his own services."

John Stone Charged With Blackmail and Held to Walt the Action of the Grand Jury. The charge of attempt to obtain money by fraud, for which John Stone was to havo been tried before Justlco Spitz yesterday, was changed to that of blackmail and Stone was bound over to the grand jury on the evidence that was introduced.

Stone is the negro who went to Fritz Muder at his saloon at Centropolls some days after the disappearance of Muder's pretty daughter Anna and showed a letter PV.ns.,tb.e. f.rom. the elrl' ln wh'ch it was said that if $13 be pa Id the bearer Mr. Muderj daughter would be returned to him Immediately. If the money was not forthcoming, the letter went on to state, the father would never see the missing girl again and she would suffer treatment more terrible than death.

Mr. Muder appeared to consider the proposition favorably and started with the negro, ostensibly to get him the money. Instead, however, he turned him over to the officers, who do not believe he knows anything of the girl's whereabouts, but was simply trying to turn the father's anxiety to his own account. At his trial Stone showed every evidence of being unusually shrewd. JAMES LOVINE DIVORCED.

Was at One Time Falsely Supposed to Have Thrown Little Belle Carr Into the Riier. James H. Lovine, the man who was falsely suspected of the murder of little Belle Carr, was granted a divorce by Special Judge Ess, in division four of the circuit court yesterday. When the body of Belle Carr was taken from the river, Mrs. Eunice Lovine identified it as that of their little child, Cecil, whom the father had taken to the country with him a few davs before.

Lovine produced his little child and was cleared of all ssusplcion. Soon afterwards. Bill Carr, the father of the murdered child, was arrested and confessed that he threw her Into the river to get rid of her. He was hanged at Liberty, for the crime. Mr.

Lovine obtained the decree on the ground of desertion. He nnd his wife had not lived together, he said, since the Belle Carr Incident. He was granted the custody of his child. THREE WILLS FILED. Bequests Mnde hy Louis W.

Mozengo, Mm. Rosa Bimbnum and Nicholas Lacy. Three wills were filed in the probate court yesterday. Lewis W. Mozengo, who died January 5, left his property to his brother-in-law and niece, half and half.

He had no children. The brother-in-law Is James H. Richardson and the niece Miss Eva Boyce. of Bloomington, III. He bequeathed to each also a half interest in several patent rights which he possessed at the time of his death.

Mrs. Rosa Bimbaum. who died January 3. left $3,000 worth of property which she leaves to her daughters, Mrs. A.

Nicholas Lacy, who died January 3, left a small estate to his wife, Josephine, and four children. FRANK LOWEJJISGUSTED. He Characterizes the Verdict In the Hamilton Case a Travesty on Justice.

"I am glad I am not the prosecutor of Jackson county," said Frank M. Lowe, who held the position last term, to a reporter for The Journal yesterday. "The nine months' sentence Imposed upon' Charles G. Hamilton was ridiculous. Ho shot a woman in the back.

The verdict Is a. travesty on Justice. He should have either been sentenced for a long term or acquitted. Then the "ex" buttoned up his overcoat, smiled serenely, and was soon swallowed up In the hurrying throng. Brother Aicalnst Brother Again.

He failed to appear at the time set, and an attachment was issued by the notary and put ln tne hands of Deputy Constable B. L. Good to serve.
