THE LEAVENWORTH TIMES, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19 1907 MURDER HAUNTS Principals in Latest Turn of Gould Case I p-J 1 1 Keep the Kidneys Well Health Is Worth Saving, and Some Leavenworth People Know How to Save It. Many Leavenworth people take their lives in their hands by neglecting ihe kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Leavenworth citizen's recommendation: Daniel Giles, blacksmith of 8ix South Third Leavenworth, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are worthy of all confidence, and only a short use is required to convince any sufferer of their value. My own experience with this remedy was in 1899 when I got a box at E.

Fritsche's drug store and used them for pain in the back. Although it had troubled me for a considerable length of time, I found prompt relief and ever since that time have had unbounded faith in Doan's Kidney Pills." For Sale by All Dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Buffalo, New York, Sole Agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other.

F. CODV (BUFFALO BUI opposing his wife's suit for limited divorce. Wants Woman Before Jury Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould, asked Justice O'Gorman to vacate the order for taking Miss Mer's testimony.

"We desire," said Mx. Shearn, "to have this order fcr Miss Mers examination vacated for the reason that in an action such as this, where the wife has lived for eight years with her husband and has brought a suit for support, she should be directly confronted with the woman who makes the statement that twelve years ago, prior to the marriage, she had maintained certain relations with some other man. This woman (Miss Mer) should confront the jury and be subjected to cross-examination Mr. Shearn also asked to have the order for Miss Mer's examination vacated upon the additional ground that the papers upon which it was obtained were legally insufficient. Even though a woman was guilty of improper conduct before her marriage that fact would not justify an.

abandonment of the wife," said the lawyer. "It might be a plea for an annullment of the marriage, but the papers do not state that the defendant intends io bring an action for an annullment." Mr. Anable opposed, the application. He said that Miss Mer was about to re-1 MBS HCWAR.D GCUUD MES CODY II ASSAILING WIFE Howard Gould Says Spouse's Relations With Showman Were Criminal ana Xew York, Xov. IS Mrs.

Katherins Clemmons Gould has been publiclv branded by her husband, Howard Gould, as having had criminal and meretricious" relations with Colonel William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). In an affidavit filed in the supreme court today 3Ir. Gouid asserts that his wife made a confession to a woman friend, Miss Helen Mer of London, as to "these improper relations with Colonel Cody. Incidentally Mr.

Gould's lawyer brutally scored Mrs. Gould as an adventuress who by fraud induced a vounjj man to enter into marriage with her." Nicoll, Anable Lindsay, counsel for Mr. Gould, recently got a court order from Justice Fitzgerald for the taking of the testimony of Miss Mer, who is about to sail for London. This testimony was to be used by Mr. Gould in i turn to England and that her testimony was important to Mr.

Gould and should be taken. He also said: "There certainly could be nothing more provoking to a husband than the discovery that his marriage contract had been brought about by fraud. This, coupled with the discovery of misconduct, on the part of the wife, seems to me to fully justify the taking of Miss Mer's testimony now, in view of her contemplated departure for England." Terms Wife Adventuress Mr. Anable then referred to Mrs. Gould as an adventuress.

He said in this connection: "It does not at all seem consonant with justice that an adventuress, 'who by a fraud of this character induces a young man to enter into marriage with her, is to be accorded the same measure of consideration as an innocent person. This, too, should be taken into consideration in weighing Mr. Gould's alleged conduct toward his wife." To this argument Mr. Shearn retorted that it seemed strange to him that, after many years of marriage, a man should come in and set up such an alleged confession, alleged to have been made by his wife concerning her relations with another man. "I can not conceive that the alleged evidence of misconduct of two or three years previous to marriage can justify LITTLE GIRL'S Child Witness of the Slaving of an Old Man Sees Crime, Re-enacted, in Delirium St.

Louis, Xov. 18. Nine-year-old Ida May Bunting, seeing in delirium the slaying of John Cook repeatedly enacted, tossed and moaned today on hex bed, while John R. Dunne, against whom she was chief witness, gave his own version in Judge Muench's court of the killing of Cook in an alley back of the ehild home, at No. 5025 Bidge avenue.

At the first trial of Dunne the girl did not appear and he made an alibi for-his defense. After her testimony yesterday, in which she described the beating of an old man by a young man and described, the clothing worn, he altered his statement, admitting that it was he who killed Cook, but pleading self-defense. The girl's testimony was the main hope of the prosecution to send Dunne to the gallows. After she had told the story she was subjected for half an hour to rigid'cross-examinaticn and. although she went through it without faltering, she broke down immediately after and has not slept nor tasted food since.

Dunne wa stried for killing his aged companion and was sentedced to twelve years in the penitentiary on a second degree verdict. He obtained an order for a new trial. Meanwhile information reached the circuit attorney's office thai a little girl had seen the" assault, and investigation added Ida May Bunting's name to the list of state witnesses. Dunne was found guilty of murder in the second degree tonight and sentenced to serve ten years in the penitentiary. PULLEK" NOW OUT OF ARMY LINE FOR REST OF SEASON West Point, N.

Nov. 18. It was learned today that Pullen injured his right knee so badly in yesterday's practice that he will be unable to play again this season. He' is in the hospital. An old injury to his left knee kept him out of the game most of this season, but with it properly braced it was thought he would be able to play from now on.

Fowler went in at tackle today in Pullen's place and Bowen relieved Er-win, who remained on the side lines. The backfield still is the important question to settle. With Weeks again at tackle the position of full-back must be filled. Besson, who was tried at tackle and then shifted to end, has again been changed and placed at full-back. He is a good ground gainer and is favorably looked upon by the coaches.

Greble also is making a strong bid for the place. Mountford went in as quarter today and did some pretty drop kicking for the first team, scoring two field goals from the twentv-five-vard line.

M. Wood of Concordia, Threw Oil Drippings on Fire. Concordia, Nov. 18. L.

M. Wood, the night engineer for the electric light plant of this city, suffered serious burns late last night upon his hands and the back of his neck. The accident was caused by carelessness, as he took a bucket of oil drippings, opened the door of the engine and threw the oil upon the burning fuel within the fire box, when an explosion followed, sending the flames out at the top of a hundred-foot flue, and out Who Most Needs A Gentie Laxative Most everyone at some time of life needs a laxative, and then it is well to remember to take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepiin, the great herb laxative compound, but those who especially need this remedy, and need it perhaps often-er than others, are children, women and old folks. Most children suffer from constipation or dyspepsia and if the trouble isn't righted early the child will grow up ihin and sickly.

Women are prone to constipation because the muscles of the stomach became weak as age advances until, after theage o- fifty, few people have regular bowel movement. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is especially adapted to the use of such people, who should never take violent cathartic tablets or powders, griping salts or purgative waters and such things because they are too weak to stand it. Dr. Caldwell's Srup Pepsin is a mild, gentle but promptly effective laxative tonic.

It is smooth and oily, good to the taste and never gripes. It can be absolutely depended upon, and so certain are results that it is guaranteed to do what is claimed or money will be refunded. It can be obtained of your druggist in 50 cent and $1 either size Is sufficient to help many members of the familv to health. Thousands of letters have been re- fmni nsers of this remedy saying that it does what is claimed for it, and manv families are never without it in the house. Mrs.

Murray, of Muncie, InL, has had it in her house regularly for five years, and as soon as one bottle is used up she gets another.

D. C. PEPSIN SYRUP -Caldwell Monticello, EL Ml the abandonment of a wife after a couple have lived together for eight years. There is nothing in the papers to show how such testimony can be material. "Just picture to yourself," said Mr.

Shearn, gazing intently at Justice O'Gorman, the situation of this defendant, who, after three years of engagement and eight years of marriage, comes into court with the story of an alleged confession of twelve years ago. It is simply sickening." Justice Gorman took the paper and reserved decision. Miss Mer was to have been examined today, but the examination was adjourned to await the decision of the court. Howard the Third Son Howard Gould is the third son of the famous financier, Jay Gouid. He married Viola Katherine Clemmons in 1893, after a storm of protest had been raised by his family.

Bv the terms of his father's will he was to receive $10,000,000, but the seventh section of a codicil provided that if any of the children married without the consent of a majority of the executors the legacy was to be cut in half. Despite this restriction Howard Gould married Miss Clemmons. At first it was thought that, following the lead of his brother, George Gould, the family as executors would enforce the codicil provisions. Later, however, a reluctant consent was granted and the full allowed. Miss reared in San Francisco and is several years the senior of Howard Gould.

She was an actress and Colonel W. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," had backed her disastrously. She went to London for a time and later made a partial success in New York. She met Howard Gould in London in 1894. Although George Gould had married an actress himself Mias Edith King-don he violently opposed his brother's engagement to Miss Clemmons.

Howard was as determined as his brother, however, and finally wedded the woman he desired. Gradually the resentment of his family abated. 'Married life Stormy The married life of the Howard Goulds, however, was stormy almost from the start. Mrs. Gould is a very beautiful woman of the blonde type and her husband was her most ardent admirer.

Gradually, however, the public began to learn of disagreements and quarrels. In May of the present year Mrs. Gould began a suit for a limited divorce in the supreme court, New York city. The couple had lived apart for a number of months and Mrs. Gould received an allowance of $60,000 a year.

In her suit she stated that her hus- i band's income was over $1,000,000 a year and she should receive at least $10,000 a month. WOLF CHASING THE ACTORS New York, Nov. 18.

Actors and actresses seeking employment may be seen in Broadway daily, making the rounds of the agencies, but their former buoyancy is Broadway is always fringed with actors early in the late summer, but this time of year usually is their golden harvest.

Hitherto few well known actors were out of engagements in November. Those who had parts in the Broadway failures retrieved themselves by road engagements, or else by joining a new cast. But this year even an Australian engagement is welcomed. Chary of New Productions Managers for the last three weeks have been chary of launching new productions, it is said. Their loss of confidence is no more due to financial conditions than to the growing distrust of established playwrights.

Daniel Frohman said today that he considered the outlook extremely serious, the lack of satisfactory plays, the sterility of playwrights, and the construction of too many theaters having brought about a dangerous condition of affairs in the theatrical world. Record for Failures Hade The record for failures was "established in September and October, and 80 per cent of the new serious plays were pathetic fiascos, he said. The authors of these plays comprise the most successful writers of their class. They are Augustus Thomas, George Ade, Edwin Milton Eoyle, Edward Peple, Percy "Martha Morton. Rachel Cro- thers, Henry Arthur Jones, Charles Klein and James JlaeArtnur.

The actors who took part in their plavs were dismissed and "few have found new engagements, and many other companies which went out on the road have returned after a bad season.

Had he not had the presence of mind to turn around quickly, he would have doubtless lost his life. The night gang at the Concordia mill, close by, ran to his assistance and found him almost crazed with pain. The doctors gave him Immediate attention, dressed his burns, and say that Mr. Wood will doubtless have badly misshaped hands as a result of the accident. ARE SEEKING EVIDENCE.

Kansas Men to Des Moines to Investigate Freight Rate Charges. Topeka, Nov. 18. The Santa Fe and Missouri. Kansas Texas Railroad companies have filed their answers to the freight rate complaint with the state board of railroad commissioners, and their attorneys state that it is their intern tion to oppos the establishment of the proposed new schedule of freight rates as long as possible.

Before returning they will also take evidence in St. Paul, Minnesota. As they will not return to Topeka before Tovenf-ber 27, and may not even then be ready for a hearing, it is not probable that the hearing on the complaint will be held as early as was at first anticipated.
