Thompson was arrested with Happy Theodora Van Wyck Benner, No. 6 Portland apartments, divorced wife of Fernando Benner, New York, and daughter of the late United States Senator Van Wyck. They were (together in Thompson's office.

They were both taken to the police station. Thompson WaS charged with Illegal possession of liquor. Mrs. Benner was also charged with drunkenness. Relatives of Mrs.

Benner would say nothing about the night's affair. In regard the alleged "trameup" against him, Mr. Thompson said: "Mrs. Benner has been a friend of the family for several years. Last night she stepped into my office and told me she felt 11L.

She sat down in a faint. I called Doctor and he administered to her. A triend of mine in the building brought me a pint of whisky. I gave Mrs. Benner some and took a small drink myself.

Several minutes later, two detectives entered the room and arrested us. It's all a Mrs. Benner figured prominently in a sensational divorce suit against her former husband, Fernando Benner on November 7, 1917. She obtained a decree of divorce and custody of their two children. CAPTURES CARGO OF WHISKY.

Right Smart Haul Diade by Richardson County Sherif. FALLS CITY, April Sheriff Ratekin and his deputy went out Friday evening to capture a man who was suspected of transporting whisky from St. Joseph, to this place. A station was taken near a bridge several miles from the state line, and after 2 a. m.

auto lights indicated the approach of three automobiles from the south. The two front autos were running close together and were held up at the bridge easily, but the third car, a quarter of a mile away, noticed. the holdup and turned and fled towards Kansas. The car in the lead was chauffeured by George Owen, about twenty years old, and the back seat was occupied by A. C.

Martin and John Brown of St. Joseph, who owned the outfit and the supplies in the two cars following. This car contained only. tools and repairs and gasoline, water and oil. The second car contained 228 quarts of whisky and was driven by a young Greek, Peter Katalos, who asserted he was under contract to deliver his load at Julian, for $200.

The third car was a touring car and had as big a load as the other. The sheriff was unable to pursue the third car, as he had his hands full with the four men and two cars already in hand. He went out expecting to capture a local expert, not knowing anything of this convoy which fell into his hands. Martin, Brown and Katalos paid a fine of $100 each and costs, and both cars were held for confiscation. As soon as the court released them the three were rearrested by the United States marshal and were taken to Lincoln.

The boy Owen was released as all claimed that he had no interest in the transportation of the liquor, but he was a nephew of Martin, and was in St. Joseph for a visit. DIED IN NEBRASKA. Mrs. William Courtney.

FARMER MILLER HAS GAINED 27 POUNDS, HE SAYS Neighbors Doubted He'd Ever Be Strong Again- Restored By Tanlac.

"It was common talk among my neighbors that I would not live very much longer and to tell the truth, thought so myself, but pretty 800D after I commenced taking this Tanlac, the folks were all talking about how fast John Miller was The above statement was made a few days ago by Mr. Miller, who is a prosperous farmer and lives on R. F. D. No.

3, Peoria, while in conversation with a Tanlac representative. "I had been in mighty bad condition for about five years," continued Mr. Miller, "and I had just kept on going down-hill until I had lost so many pounds weight, that all my friends had doubts about my ever being well again. My stomach was in such bad condition that everything I ate would sour in a few minutes after meals, and in a short time I would be so bloated up with gas that I could hardly get a good breath. I finally got where even a cup of coffee would cause me to have pains and cramps in the pit of my stomach and I would suffer like blazes for hours afterwards.

I was very nervous, too, and hardly ever got a good night's sleep and my hands were so shaky that I would have a good deal of trouble in eating, and 1 would feel embarrassed on this account if anybody except my family was present at meal time. I would go out in the cornfields sometimes and try to work a little, but would soon give out and would be exhausted for the rest of the day. "About this time I commenced to read about Tanlac, and the good it was doing so many people, and I decided to give it a trial. Well, I have taken seven or eight bottles of Tanlac, and to make a long story short, I am a healthy, robust man again. There is not a man in the neighborhood who can do any more hard work than I can and I want to tell you right here that I wouldn't take the best farm in country for the good Tanlac has done me.

I never had a better appetite in my life, and I eat three big hearty meals every day, and everything eat agrees with me all right. am never bothered with gas forming on my stomach now, and all those cramping pains are a thing of the past. I have already gained twenty-seven pounds in weight, and my nerves are in such perfect condition that I sleep like a 10g every night and my hands don't have that shaky nervousness in them any more. Tanlac is a good medicine and has done so much me that I love to tell the story to others. I am more than glad to use this opportunity to recommend this great medicine to "Taniac is sold in Lincoln by the Harley Drug in University Place I by M.

S. Chiperfield. and he tho lord. ing druggist in every WILSON ALONE STANDS OUT President Determined Italy Shall Not Have Absolute Sway Over Flume. PARIS, April Henry Wales.

-(New York Times-Chicago Tribune, Cable, Copyright, 1919)-President Wilson alone among the Big Three opposes Fiume going to Italy, as the hands of both Lloyd-George and Clemenceau are tied by the pact of London. Orlando wants a decision before Tuesday, when he leaves for Rome to address the Italian parliament on Wednesday. Thru Dalmatian concessions it is expected the Fiume problem will be solved in Italy's favor tomorrow. President Wilson is insisting upon the peace treaty being completed in time to hand to the Germans next Friday, altho the experts drafting the document declare it is almost a physical impossibility with so many big questions still undecided. My dispatch of Friday night practically was officially authenticated today, as it is almost certain that thru the pressure of the American peace commission, following the request from ex -Governor Dunne; Walsh and Ryan, the British will permit the Irish delegation is to receive a hearing.

It understood the Czecho Slovaks and the Poles have reached an agreement regarding the Teschen mining area, between dividing the producing properties them equally. This decision will be accepted by the peace conference. The project for incorporating the peace terms of all four enemy states, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria in a single treaty apparently has been thrown overboard without further consideration altho the Italians still demand peace with Austria efforts of simultaneously Mr. with Germany. All Wilson, LloydGeorge, and Clemenceau were expended on the German treaty and it is rumored that the Italians are using this as a trading point.

Marshal Foch, General Bliss and Sir Henry Wilson have completed plans for military action that will be taken in case Germany refuses flatly to accept the peace treaty. It is understood the occupationary army will move deeper into Germany while the British fleet occupies the principal German ports. MILK BOARD IN A CONSPIRACY Ometals and Members to Face Trial at Chicago. CHICAGO, April officials and members of the milk board of the milk producers' association will be placed on trial before Judge Martin M. Gridley in criminal court here Monday for conspiracy to fix the price of milk in violation of the state food laws.

The defendants are Charles H. Potter of Elgin, chairman of the milk board; Willis Kittle, secretary, and Arnold Huber, Frank H. Reese, William A. Goodwin, Robert M. Omann, Roy Lewis, and Clinton J.

Cooper. The association, composed of eral thousand farmers in northern Illinois, western Indiana and southern Wisconsoin, furnishes Chicago's milk supply. In October, 1917, officials of the association asserted that production cost had tincreased and that farmers were conducting their dairy business at a loss, They raised prices to Chicago wholesale dealers from $2.30 to $3.42 a hundred pounds and tor a time conducted a strike to compel dealers to pay the new price. It 18 charged that farmers for a time destroyed large quantities of milk daily rather than sell it below the new rate. A serious milk famine in Chicago and suburbs followed, it la charged.

Members of the association finally won their fight and consumers paid the higher price. The defendants were indicted on two conspiracy counts Feburary 28, 1918, and released on bonds of $10,000 each. At the request of the federal food administration the states attorney postponed trial until after the war. 1 Former Governor Charles S. Deneen, council for he milk producers, petitioned for a change of venue insisting that public prejudice would make impossible a fair and timpartial trial in Chicago.

The change was denied. LEAVE FOR MUSTER OUT CAMPS. CAMP MILLS, N. April units of western troops, brought here on their return from overseas, left today for demobilization at camps nearer their homes.
