Miss Mary Rennie, Port Byron, El., writes:
The Feruna Medicine Co., Columbus. Ohio i
Gentlemen --1 am pleased to say -a few
words of praise for your Peruna, which has
been of such wonderful help to me.- My system
was completely run down, and I needed a gen
eral toning up.
Peruna acted like magic, and after using
only three bottles I felt my usual self, and have
been in excellent health ever since."
- There are three things that every one should look
out for during the heated season:
First To keep up a good appetite and digestion.
Second To have regular and refreshing sleep.
Third To keep the system cleansed of all Im
purities. There Is but one medicine that is able to meet all
of these requirements. This medicine is known as
Peruna, an old and tried prescription of an eminent
practitioner of medicine. Peruna never fails to
produce a good appetite and regular sleep, nor does
it fail to expel all impurities from the system. A
dose should be taken before each meal and at bed
time. It is of great and lasting benefit to all people
suffering from low spirits, nervous prostration,
sleeplessness overwork, exposure to the hot sun, or
those recuperating from acute disease or any other

SCALE MEN CALLED UP
Before Police Court Because They Do
Not Use City Weighing Slips.
Four men were called Into police court
Monday afternoon on 'warrants sworn
out by Tax Collector Bailey who charged
the men with violating the city ordi
nance which requires that all owners of
team scales who desire to weigh for
others, shall purchase a book from the
city containing 100 weighing slips, and
that for every load weighed for other
parties they shall issue a slip. These
books cost $5. The ordinance makes it
an offense to weigh without the book
and makes it an additional offense to fail
to issue a slip.
The men who were called before the
court were: Richard Hargraves, C. C.
Nicholson, S. C. Swartz and Alexander
& Goodfellow. Each stated that he was
ignorant of violating any ordinance and,
at the request of Mi. Bailey, they were
let off by paying the cost of the cases,
which they were very glad to do. The
judge informed them that such leniency
would not be shown again and warned
them to never again be brought before
him on that charge.
Mr. Bailey says that he has had a
great deal of trouble with the owners of
scales, that they have only laughed at
him when he told them they were not
complying with the city ordinance, and
that he had determined to make an ex
ample of some of them. The city has
scales on both sides of the river for the
benefit of people who do weighing and
do not own scales. The weighing by pri
vate scales without using the city books
means quite a loss to the city's revenue.

Kansas Grain is Now .Moving to
Galveston.
Several Hundred Cars En Route
to the Gulf.
SANTA fe gains by it.
Gets the Entire Haul on the
Grain Shipped South.
Cotton Also Moving Over Gulf
Line of Santa Fe.
Galveston, Tex., Aug. 28. Mr. W. C.
Nixon, general superintendent of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railway, to
day said there was a very decided in
crease In movement of Texas grain
toward Galveston and that Kansas grain
Is now moving this way. There are now
200 cars of Kansas grain en route via
the Santa Fe route for Galveston. The
cotton movement is also setting In and
Mr. Nixon thinks it will soon be in full
blast. This makes it all the more neces
sary to get quick action on grain.
Grain is now coming Into Galveston
at the rate of about 100 cars with pros
pects that the figures will be consider
ably above the century mark next week.
There is approximately 2,000,000 bushels
of grain in the elevators, about 1,000,000
bushels short of their capacity.
SANTA FE INDEPENDENT.
"Will Accept Orders For Grain Deliv
eries Only as is Seen Fit.
Kansas City, Aug. 28. The Santa Fe
yesterday gave nomtice that hereafter
it could not accept shippers' orders on
grain for delivery to connecting lines ex
cept as subject to the ability of the
Santa Fe to effect such deliveries,
and with due regard for the protection
of its equipment.
This virtudally makes shippers' orders
for grain deliveries subject to the wishes
of the Santa Fe in the matter and
broadens the scope of the road's ruling"
far beyond that originally made, which
affected only deliveries to the Alton, Ma
ple Leaf, Rock Island and Burlington,
the latter of which roads was afterwards
excepted from the effect of the ruling.
Prom the viewpoint of the Santa Fe
people this action seems to be the only
sensible one to take in view of all the
conditions. There is an undoubted con
gestion of grain In the Kansas City
yards, though none of the lines is block
aded. There is also a decided shortage
of equipment. These are two very im
portant considerations, and a third is
that the Santa Fe has not this crop year
carried anything like Its fair proportion
of grain tonnage east from here, al
though It ia the greatest grain-originating
road for the Kansas City market.
ORIENT ROAD BONDS.
Harper County People Decide by Vote
to Issue Them.
Wichlta.A ug. 28. While there is a
momentary lull in the interest in the
Orient road here just at present, at oth
er points the interest is increasing. It
having been settled that Wichita is to
have the shops, Wichita has taken a
long breath preliminary to future activ
ity. Last week the bonds of the road car
ried in Harper county. The vote was for
and against Issuing the bonds, and the
bonds carried in the county by about 150
to 200 votes. In Harper city there was
only one vote against them. Harper
county has done her duty and is to be
congratulated.

ME. WELLE R. GETS A WATCH.
Late Master Mechanic of Central
Branch Remembered.
Atchison, Aug. 28. One hundred em
ployes of the Central branch shops were
present at the offices of Drs. Bogle and
Finney, when Dr. Finney, on their be
half, presented C. W. Weller, late mas
ter mechanic of the shops, with a four
teen carat watch chain and Masonic
emblem charm. The emblem is studded
with diamonds and precious stones, and
.the present is a splendid tribute to Mr.
Weller, who had come up from Pittsburg,
where he is now located as master
mechanic of the Kansas City Southern,
to arrange for the removal of his family
to that place.
Dr. Finney made an appropriate pre
sentation speech, and Mr. Weller accept
ed the gift in an equally clever talk. He
Is exceedingly popular among the shop
men, and it Is already announced that
several will follow him to Pittsburg. In
18S7, before coming to Atchison, Mr.
Weller was presented with a fine watch
by the employes of the M., K. & T. shops
at Parsons.
TICKET H YEARS OLD.
Man Tries to Ride on Santa Fe Ticket
Purchased For Him When a Boy.
A singular case Involving the lights of
a holder of a half-fare, unlimited, ticket
developed recently on the Santa Fe line.
It was on an eastbound train from San
Francisco, and the conductor, while col
lecting tickets, was given the return
portion of a half-fare, or child's excuf
sion, ticket from Kansas City to San
Francisco. The holder of the ticket was
a young man about 22 years of age. The
conductor looked at him, smiled, and
asked:
"You don't expect to ride on this tick
et, do you?"
"Why not? It is an unlimited ticket
and I bought it in Kansas City eleven
years ago."
The conductor examined It more care
fully and found that it bore the stamp
of the Santa Fe office at Kansas City
and was dated April 12, 18S9. It was,
moreover, as the young man had said, an
unlimited ticket.
"I don't doubt what you say about
buying it," the conductor said, "but you
were a kid then and now you're a man.
I can't let a man ride on a child's tick
et. You must put up the other half in
cash or get off the train."
"But let me explain. My father put
up nearly $100 for that ticket eleven
years ago and your company has had the
use of J50 of it for all that time without
rendering any service to him or me for
whom he bought it.- If I have to pay the
extra half fare, am I not entitled to a
credit in the shape of interest on that
$50 for eleven years?"
"I'm not cracking those kind of nuts,"
the conductor replied, smiling. "You're a
man and you have got to have a man's
ticket or pay full fare."
"Well. I will pay the extra half fare,
but I would like to have something to
show for it."
"All right; I'll give you a receipt."
The money was paid and the receipt
given, the name of the young man being
Charles A. De Courcy. He said he would
present a claim against the Santa Fe on
his return from an eastern trip.
Local passenger men.to whom the case
was presented, say the conductor took
the proper stand and that the youns
man has no legal or ., equitable claim
against the company. A. railroad ticket
is a contract, and both parties to It must
comply with the terms and conditions
provided on it. A child's ticket calls
for a child passenger, and the moment
the holder ceases to comply with this
condition the ticket is not good for pas
sage so far as he is concerned. As rail
road companies do not agree to pay in
terest when redeeming unused tickets,
the absurdity of a claim of this kind is
readily seen. The prospects are that
Mr. De Courcy will keep his receipt as
an odd souvenir of an odd railroad Jour
ney. truce: erecting shop.
Santa Fe Is Adding It to the Plant in
This City.
A' truck erecting shop Is being built
in this city by the Santa Fe. It is situ
ated just north of the steam table be
tween the coach erecting shop and the
store house.
It ia to be a frame building about
75x150 feet in size. There will be two
tracks leading into the building. The
car trucks will be put together in this
building and run out over the steam
table and into the coach erecting shop.
The tinners will also occupy a por
tion of this building. This will make
vacant a great deal of space which has
been needed to use in repairing coaches.
TOM KING GOES EAST.
Will Be in New York in Time to See
Corbett-McCoy Battle.
During the absence of Tom King in
the east, Harry Donaldson is acting city
ticket and passenger agent of the Santa
Fe.
Mr. King went as far as Chicago in
charge of one of the G. A. R. special
trains. After stopping in Chicago for
a few days Mr. King will visit New
York city, Atlantic City, Boston, Wash
ington and Philadelphia.
He will also see the Corbett-McCoy
prize fight which takes place Thursday
his return Mr. Donaldson will
spend his vacation in Indianapolis, Ind.
More Places For Firemen.
Still more vacancies have been an
nounced for firemen on the Santa Fe.
This time they are on passenger runs
17 and 34 between Kansas City and
Newton and frieght runs 65 and 6 be
tween Kansas iCty and Emporia. The
oldest fireman making application be
fore August 31 for each of the above
runs will be assigned.
Work on Stillwell's Line.
Guthrie, Ok., Aug. 28. Nearly a hun
dred men and teams went to work yes
terday near Cleo, Woods county, grading
upon Stillwell's Mexico & Orient rail

work in the north part of Woods county
next week. It seems to be the intention
to push the construction of the Oklaho

owners, to cancel the patents -granted
the railroad company, dismissing the

THE FOOD DRINK fe
TOWNE ON ROOSEVELT.
Replies to the St. Paul Speech of the
New York Governor.
Duluth, Minn., Aug. 28. The largest
gathering to listen to a political speech
that ever assembled in Duluth occurred
last evening at the Armory, when Chas.
A. Towne opened the campaign in a
lengthy address in which toe replied to
the recent speech of Governor Roosevelt
delivered at St. Paul, on the occasion
of the national convention of the League
of Republican Clubs, and arraigned the
administration's policy in the Philip
pines. The audience, which comprised
persons of all shades of political belief
and many scores of women, listened at
tentively to the orator's remarks for
more than two hours, and frequently
throughout the discourse the applause
was deafening.
The speech, which will be used as a
campaign document, is considered as
Mr. Towne's greatest political effort.
At its conclusion he was tendered an
ovation by the multitude present.
Mr. Towne will leave Tuesday or Wed
nesday for Idaho and other western
points to enter actively into the work of
the campaign.
Mr. Towne opened by expressing lack
of patience with any one who believed
in their "party right or wrong," or "any
president right or wrong," considering
the latter simply another statement of
the Divine right of kings.
He said the coming of Aguinaldo was
at the invitation of Admiral Dewey, and
that he was to be an ally of the Ameri
cans, quoting from the naval records in
support of his assertion.
After again referring to the different
situations in Cuba and the Philippines,
he said:
"But the statement that we never
promised the Filipinos their Indepen
dence conveys a false impression. Our
conduct was such as to estop an honor
able nation from using such a plea as
a justification or as excuse for attempt
ing to subjugate the islanders.
"The Filipinos made no secret of their
object in rebelling against the Spanish
government. What they desired to do
was to form a government of their own
and to be absolutely independent of
Spain. The representatives of the United
States in the east knew this object per
fectly well. The Filipinos proclaimed it
to the world.
"It is important to bear in mind that
the Filipino republic established under
the leadership of Aguinaldo was a gov
ernment in fact, recognized throughout
the island of Luzon and several adjoin
ing islands to the south, capable of pre
serving order, collecting taxes, main
taining educational and complete system
of public administration, raising and
supporting an army which for a con
siderable period numbered 30,000 men,
and conducting war according to the
humane principles of modern interna-
Mr. Towne denied that the Filipinos
were barbarians or unfit for self-government.
He declared the idea of taking
-forcible possession of the islands - was
not decided upon until a considerable
period after the battle of Manila Bay,
and meanwhile the Filipinos were per
mitted to hope for independence. f
After describing the strained rela
tions between the Americans and the
Filipinos, after the capture of Manila,
Mr. Towne said:
"Our opponents are in the habit of re
ferring to the outbreak of actual hostil
ities between us and the Filipinos as
though the latter were the agressors,and
much is attempted to be made out of
such expresisons as 'they fired on our
flag."
"But of course, since we had secretly
formed a determination to seize the isl
ands, it Is apparent that whenevr that
design became manifest or we attempted
to put it into effect, the Filipinos, if they
were earnest when declaring their object
to be independence, would resist it. The
aggressor, regardless of who struck the
first blow, would be, not he who stood
in defense of a right, but he who by act
or threat compelled the other to defend
it. The development of the hostile de
sign was itself an attack. As a matter
of fact, however, as shown by General
Otis' official report, our troops fired the
first shot and the Filipinos stood on the
defensive."
Taking up Governor Roosevelt's speech
he declared it to be "enormously disap
pointing. Neither in matter nor in man
ner is it worthy of its occasion. In re
spect of argument the speech is, with
rare exceptions, an alternation of eva
sion and assertion. In spirit it is a com
pound of scold and scullion. As to its
facts it abounds in inaccuracies which,
if accidental, are Inexplicable as coming
from a man who has performed credita
bly in history and biography. But the
world is accustomed to inconsistencies
from Mr. Roosevelt. It has long looked
upon him as a predestined and Incorrigi
ble eccentric. It has given up attempt
ing to explain him qr to reconcile him
with himself. It is quite impossible,
whether it would be worth while other
wise or not, to make an entirely satis
factory diagnosis of a civil service re
former In partnership with Thomas C.
Piatt; a citizen soldier who ridicules the
volunteer, a leader in battle who finds
glory in being rescued from an ambush;
a hero who boasts of shooting a fleeing
foe In the back; a candidate who plays
and poses to delegates and galleries to
obtain a. nomination that he does not
want; a gentleman who charges six and
one-half millions of his fellow country
men with lawlessness, dishonesty and
cowardice; a statesman who, mounted
on a hobby, rides roughly at grave ques
tions in economics and politics swinging
his partisan lariat and yelling like an in
tellectual Comanche."
BRICK ARE GOOD.
Council Committee Says Topeka Ave
nue Complaint is Unfounded.
The complaint which was made by D. O.
McCray and others to the maytfr concern
ing the brick which was being used) to
pave Topeka avenue from Fourteenth
street to the city limits, was investigated
by the streets and walks committee Mon
day afternoon, and the members say they
found no grounds for the complaint. The
committee says the work is being well
done and the brick used is as good as any
that has been made in Topeka.
A number of people who live on the
street were worried over the complaint
because they feared that the paving would
be delayed and that they -would have a
repetition of the celebrated Fillmore street
paving trouble. Work will proceed, how
ever, as rapidly as the weather will per
mit. .
MANAGERS ARE WARY.-
Burton's New Plan to Suppress Sena
torial Fight
Kansas Republicans have grown weary
of the contest for United States senator
and many of them have expressed the
opinion that this fiRht should be kppt in
the background until after the election.
The Burton forces have adopted a new
plan, which is exemplified by the utter
ances of H. F. Giessler, who has been re
nominated for representative in Logan
county. Giessler said this to the conven
tion :
"Since It has been rumored or reported
that I favor a certain man for United
States senator, I want to sav that I am
not directly or indirectly pledged on that
proposition, but since Senator Baker and
J. R. Burton are the only avowed candi
dates, and have fairly submitted their
claims to the people before the legisla
ture is chosen, I think one of them ought
to be elected. In easting my vote for sen
ator I shall be controlled by the wishes of
a majority of the Republicans of Logan
county."
MILL TURNS ROUND.
Batch of Jointists Are Turned Out
- Into a Cruel World.
There was a large crowd of Jointists and
their friends at the police court yesterday
at 4 o'clock, because all of the arrests
made on August 21 were set for a hearing
at that time. Most of the cases were dis
missed, because there was no evidence
against them, the arrests being the first
lot made under the new order which was
to arest the jointists whether or not suffi
cient evidence had been secured to con
vict them.
The cases dismissed were against Geo.
Buford, Geo. Klauer, Larry Sheehan, O.
Kempton, Wood Fowler, Bob Shelbv, "Ed
Ryan, C. H. Wheeler. Harry Clark. H.
Dowling, Geo. Anderson and Ed Timon.
The dismissals were not for every case
against these men, for they have been ar
rested almost every day since August 21,
but it was for the case of that day only.
Three of the cases were continued be
cause the city thinks it has evidence
against them which will convict. These
were the cases against Wade Watts, F
Alurphy and Billie Wiley, and they were
set for August 31.
The case against Ed Timon, Geo. Ander
son and "Buck" Campbell came to trial,
and resulted in the discharge of Timon
and Anderson and the conviction of Camp
bell, who was sentenced to sixty days in
jail and fined $300. The evidence against
Campbell was furnished by a man named
William St. Marys, and it was he who
swore out th warants for all three,
Campbell, Anderson and Timon. St.
Marys gave his evidence because he had
gone into the Joint, which it appears is
also a gambling room, and had lost $25 in

A Minister's Good Work.
"I had a severe attack of bilious colic,
got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two
doses and was entirely cured," says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kas. My neigh
mor across the street was sick for over
a week, had two or three bottles of medi
cine from the doctor. He used them for
three or four days without relief, then
called in another doctor who treated him
for some days and gave him no relief, so
discharged him. I went over to see him
the next morning. He said his bowels
were in a terrible fix; that they had been
running off BO long that it was almost
bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went
home and brought him my bottle and
gave him one dose; told him to 'take an
other dose in fifteen or twenty minutes
if he did not find relief, but he took no
more and was entirely cured." For sale

If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries. '
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearlyi
all constitutional diseases have their begin-,
ning in kidney trouble. 1 -
