writes: "For the last two years, I have been in very
poor health, with weak stomach, dizzie headaches, no
strength, no appetite, and my nerves in such a shattered
state that I could not bear any noise. I was under .the

It has helped me wonderfully, and I advise all who are

Two Cases Recently Disposed of
and Their History.
Leavenworth, county is not the only
place in Kansas where the guilty can
escape punishment on simple promises,
nor is F. B. Dawes the only attorney
who thinks the proper way to enforce
the prohibitory law is to extract prom
ises from its violators. The same thing
has been done right here in Topeka by
the head of the legal department of the
state of Kansas. The story might be
called, "How It Pays to Have a Stand
in: or. Sticking the County for Costs."
Durine the Labor Day celebration at
Garfield park in September, 1897, one
Albert Johnson whose real name was
E. K. Grimes, was arrested for violat
ing i.ie prohibiotry law and was twice
convicted o the charge. About the
same time Nick Chiles, the colored po
litical striker and jointist, was arrested
for runnirtg a joint at the fair grounds,
and also convicted, yet neither of these
men has ever been punished for break
ing the law, and by the grace of Attor
ney oeneral Godard they will escape
punishment altogether.
John J. Etzel was arrested with
Grimes, and they were tried first be
fore Justice C. P. Bolmar in Potwin.
Both were convicted and Grimes was
sentenced to 90 days in jail and fined
$300 and costs, and Etzel was sentenced
to 60 days in jail and fined $200 and
costs. The costs amounted to $32.80.
The case was appealed to the district
court, and was there dismissed as
against Etzel. but Grimes was again
convicted and fined $200 and sentenced
to jail for 60 days, and also to pay the
costs which amounted to $65.30.
Again the case was appealed this
time to the court of appeals. It has
never been tried there. The history of
the case as shown by the court docket
is something as follows:
June 14, 1SS8 Case filed. Set for hear
ing at November term.
.ov. 8, 1S!8 Stipulation filed contin
uing case to March, 1899, signed by
George R. Snelling, assistant attorney
general under L. C. Boyle.
March 14 1S99 Continued to June,
1S99.
June 13, 1899 Continued to November,
1899. -
Nov. 14, 1S99 Continued to March,
1900.
March 13, 1900 Continued indefinitely.
The history of the Chiles case is al
most exactly similar, except that it was
tried in the district court to begin with,
and Chiles was fined only $100 and sen
tenced to 30 days in jail.
The extreme regularity with which
these two cases have been continued
has caused considerable comment. The
comment will be augmented when it is
known that Attorney General Godard in
person asked the court of appeals in
open court to indefinitely postpone fur
ther consideration of the cases, and
to order them left off the docket unless
they shall be again ordered on at some
future time.
This means that the prosecution is at
an end and virtually amounts to a dis
missal, and Shawnee county will pay
the costs.The clerk's costs in the Grimes
case alone amount to $132.80, besides
the expense of the trials.
The ground on which Mr.Godard ask
ed that the cases be taken off the dock
et was that the defendants had quit the
business, and they or their families
might suffer if they should be punished
for their wrong-doing. Is it any wonder
that it is hard to enforce the prohibi
tory law when law-breakers are dealt
with in this manner? Or that people
complain that liquor prosecutions cost
money when the officers allow the guilty
to escape punishment after being twice
convicted, and compelling the county to
pay the costs?
The explanations for the actions of
both Attorney General Godard and his
predecessor, L. C. Boyle, may lie in the
fact that the defendants in both these
cases are possessed of more or less po
litical influence. Mr. Grimes has influ
ential relatives, while Nick Chiles is a
vigorous worker among the colored peo
ple whenever there is an election.
At the last term of the court of ap
peals in November, the appeal of W. F.
Lytle, another convicted jointist, was
dismissed by default of the defendant,
which meant that the judgment of the
lower court would stand and the de
fendant would be punished. The next
day Judge. West, Mr. Godard's assist
ant appeared before the court and vol
untarily offered to have the dismissal
set aside and the case continued until
this term of the court, in order that the
defendant might have another chance
to escape. This term, however, the court
dismissed the case permanently and Ly
tle will go to jail.
Genius and Judgment.
Tennyson or Longfellow could take
a worthless sheet of paper, write a
poem on it, and make it worth $65,000.
That's genius. Rockefeller can write
a few words on a sheet of paper and
make it worth $5,000,000. That's cap
ital. Uncle Sam can take an ounce of
gold and stamp upon it an "eagle bird"
and make it worth $20. That's money.
A mechanic can take material worth
$3 and make it into watch-springs worth
$1,000. That's skill. Ben Hur Cigars
are now so well known that they are
being sold in every state and territory
in the LTnited States. That's enterprise.
A merchant can take an article worth
75c and sell it for 1$. That's business.
A woman can purchase a 75c hat, but
prefers one that cost $27. That's fool
ishness. A ditch digger works ten hours
a day, and handles several tons of
earth for $1.25. That's labor. The
printer of this card can write a check
for $9,000,000, but it would not be worth
a dime. That's bogus. There are other
factories in our line pretending that
they can make just as good Cigars,
That's gall. Everybody who is posted
and wants the best Cigar on the mar
ket buys the Ben Hur. That's good
judgment.
Suits the world of men Ben Hur 10c
Cigars. Little Ben Hur, a jewel. Tor

Banker Routs a Robber.
J. R. Garrison, cashier of the bank of
Thornville. O., had been robber1 of health
by a serious lung trouble until he tried
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion. Then he wrote: "It is the best
medicine I ever tised for a severe co'd or
a bad case of lung trouble. I alwavs
