PRAISES PROF. LARSON
Gires Healer Credit of Possess
ing Wonderful Tower.
Takes Every Opportunity to
Recommend HI m to Friends.
Readers of the State Journal in To
peka and elsewhere have long been In
terested In the reputed wonderful cures
of Prof. J. Austin Larson, the natural
magnetic healer now at the National
hotel, but stories of cures in neighbor
ing towns fail to interest in the same
iegree as a local story might
Larson has never kept the public
waitinsr lone at any Dlace he has been
for demonstrations of his power and
following, is the story, as related to a
Elate Journal reporter, of the remark
able recovery of airs. E. M. Trow
bridge of 600 West Sixth street. Mrs.
Trowbridge is a remarkably active wo
man, approaching seventy years of age
and the widow of the late Dr. N. Trow
bridge, a regular practicing physician
and druggist of Council Grove, Kan.,
for nearly thirty years. She has a
daughter in Topeka. Mrs. A. B. Rose,
ife of a Topeka dry goods merchant,
whose store is on the west side of Kan
sas avenue near the corner of Sixth
street. A cousin of her deceased hus
band is Bert Trowbridge, baggage mas
ter at the Santa Fe depot, a man who
has lived in Topeka upwards of twenty
years.
Mrs. Trowbridge is unstinted in her
praise of Prof. Larson s power and rec
ommends him to her friends every
where. To a reporter, she said as she
left his offices today with the spright
liness and vigor of a woman twenty
years her Junior. "I don't walk much
like a cripple, do I?" and then she told
the following story:
I took a few treatments of Prof.
Larson at Abilene this srjring and got
better. Now I am completing my course
of treatments and am getting well.
Prof. Larson is all right. His work at
Abilene, where he is so highly spoken
of proves that.
"I think very few possess Prof. Lar
son's power and I can speak very high
ly in his praise. Healers are born such,
not made by education in the art of
massage or mere manipulative treat
ment. My trouble was what doctors
called rheumatic gout, causing an en
largement of the joints of my hands
so that I could not open or shut them.
Sciatic rheumatism also attacked me
about a year ago. finally settling in my
left knee, making it stiff and causing
me to walk with a limp for the past six
or eight months. Now I can open and
shut my hands with ease, and sew,
while before I could scarcely dress my
self or comb my hair. I can walk up
and down stairs, placing each foot in
turn before the other, something I
hadn't been able to do for a long time
before taking treatment. Why I was so
stiff that I couldn't ra4se my left foot
sufficiently to step over a rug without
tripping and I wasn't ' able to get
around at all. The other morning I
came down stairs about as lively as a
school girl and my son-in-law. Mr.
Rose, remarked. "Mother trips down
etalrs like a hotel clerk."
"I couldn't sleep before, but now I
sleep well. My eyes used to pain me
so I could hardly see. but now the
pain is gone. My stomach and bowels
gave me trouble .but he has cured
them and restored me to a hearty ap
petite. The constant pain, which left
me so nervous, is practically all gone
and with it has gone my nervousness. !
I think the natural magnetic treat-!
ment Is the coming treatment for dis-
eases of a!I kinds, and as a regular
practicing physician's wife I have
been able to judge of the compara
tive value of medicine and this treat
ment." Mrs. Trowbridge's statement of her
former condition and the wonderful
Improvement under Prof. Larson's
treatment is borne out by her daugh
ter, Mrs. Rose, who was seen later at
the store.
"Mother is certainly wonderfully
Improved under Prof. Larson's treat
ment." she said. "I believe in giving
every one nis aues and I rranklv con
fess that I had little faith in his" being
!lf:J0.he,,pmithTer( but J'n have
annul iiiiti riui. Larson nas convert
ed me. He has helped her more than
anything else and if she will only take
care of herself I am confident that she
will enjoy her present good health for
years to come."

William Allen White publishes the
following in yesterday's Emporia Gazette-
"This is the Gazette's lucky aay:
Eight years ago today an article en
titled 'What's the Matter With Kan
sas' appeared in this paper, and good
luck has been in the shop ever since.
Since that time the Gazette has built
and paid for a 5,000 building: $5,000
in new equipment; has bought and
paid for a home for its editor; has
multiplied its circulation by three till
it now has a sworn, circulation of a
little over 2,000 dailies, and pays more
postage on papers than all the other
papers In town multiplied by two: cir
culates 1,500 papers on the townsite
of Emporia, and has the reputation
among collection agencies of having
its two thousand weekly subscription
list collected up closer to date than
anv other country weekly In Kansas.
'What's the Matter With Kansas' was
a 'scratch shot.' It couldn't be dupli
cated. There wasn't an original idea
or expression in the whole piece; it
was merely what had been heard on
the streets, in offices and on trains.
It was a mirror of the popular temper
at that time. But it brought lots of
luck and the man who would go back
on it wouldn't be much. Demand for
it still continues, and two or three let
ters a week have come to the office
inquiring for the article for the last
year. The article has no more to do
with 'present conditions in Kansas than

FOLLOW EXAMPLE OF TOPEKA,
Peter Sells Says Exjiosition Should Be

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
Colonel Peter Sells, the circus man,
was in the city Saturday and spent the
day at the WTorld's fair. This season
the circus, of which the Sells brothers
are proprietors, has been traveling in
the east, in order. Colonel Sells de
clares, to keep out of the way of the
fair. It is touring New York state
this month, and will not come west at
all. In speaking of the fair. Colonel
Sells said:
"It is a wonderful show. I did not
go into the buildings yesterday, but
took in the grounds generally. I ex
pect to come down in September and
spend a week or ten days. Yesterday
was my first glimpse of it, and I was
surprised at its magnitude. What it

shown in colors all over the United
States. With the newspaper advertis
ing it is getting the attendance could
easily be increased 100 per cent.
"In advertising our circus we have
always spent from 4 0 to 50 per cent
of the gross receipts, and we have
found that it pays. I know something
about advertising fairs, too, having
had experience with my brother in
booming the Kansas state fair at To
peka several years ago. We did it up
right, and the attendance one day was
6 0.000. You can't advertise a big
thing like this too much."
DEWEYS AT EUREKA LAKE.
Family in Consultation Over the Will
of the Itte Millionaire.
Chauncey Dewey and his sister, and
his mother, Mrs. Dewey, and Mrs. Ger
trude Dewey, the second wife of the
late C. P. Dewey, are at the Eureka
Lake hotel near Manhattan this week,
holding a conference relative to the ap
proaching litigation in the Chicago
courts concerning the division of the
Dewey estate.
It will be remembered that by the
terms of the will of the late C. P. Dew
ey, Charles Killen. his private secretai-y
comes In for about one-third of the
Dewey estate. The Dewey family will
&e united in their efforts to break the
will and prevent so large a portion of
the estate going to one outside the
family. It will be shown to the court
that Charles Killen was with Mr. Dew
ey when he died and that he framed
the will which made him the object of
so a large a bequest.
The Deweys anticipate no trouble in
presenting evidence to the court tit
Chicago which will be sufficient to
break the will. The conference of the
members of the family at Eureka Lake
this week is said to be for the purpose
of agreeing upon a division of the es
tate among the surviving members of
the family.
Suicide Prevented.
The startling announcement that n in
ventive of suicide had been discovered
will intereet many. A run down system

will prevent that condition which makes

Police business is rather dull. There
seems to be nothing of importance for

furnish all the amusement. The joint
business is slack, but the demand for
cold ones is not. Testerday was a fine

A Swede strike breaker, a resident of
the late First street hotel, the strike
breakers' roost which was de-roofed by
fire last night, came to the police sta
tion this morning and desired assist
ance in getting back some of the good
money he had paid the proprietor of
the dump. He said that he had paid
twice for the same privilege, that of
trying to eat and sleep on the premises
for the coming week. He had paid the
keeper of the place once, but he said
that person had gone to the Santa Fe
and gleaned another payment in ad
vance for the same week. Then when
he was burned out the Swede wanted
his money back. The police admitted
that they did not run a collection
agency except for H. Ward Page and
Younkln the dog catcher.
The court decided last evening that
Mrs. Foglequist, of 601 West First
street, did not disturb very munj; peace,
so she was discharged with a lecture.
The Swede lady was accused of dis

vile language over the back yard fence.
DECIDES AGAINST HOMESTEAD.
Government Land Officials Say Burtis
Cannot Take Land.
Register C. H. Titus and Receiver J. f.
Wood of the United States land office
have decided that Clyde L. Burtis can
not homestead the 40 acres of land in
Marshall county now held by Edward M.
Williams of Marysville. The case has
been before the land office for a long
while.
Quite a number of years ago W. H.
Smith of Marysville purchased 40 acres of
indemnity land from the state. By suc
cessive transfers it came into possession
of Edward Williams. About a year ago
Clvde L. Burtis filed on the land as a
homestead. Williams took up the mat
ter at once and asked the state to defend
its title. Attorney General Coleman took
up the cudgel in his behalf. John L.
Hunt represented the state and Milton
Brown defended the claim of Burtis.
The local land office recommended to
Washington that the state be allowed to
perfect its title at this time with a show
ing of the proper basis therefor, or upon
the surrender of an equal amount of land
somewhere else. That will clear Williams
title. Burtis has until September 15 for
appeal.
TWO MORE BLOCKS OP PAVING.
Committee Decides That Twelfth and
Jackson Streets Be Improved.
Two more blocks of paving will be dono
this year in Topeka. At the meeting of
the streets and walks committee Monday
night a favorable vote was made on the
petition of the street railway company to
pave Twelfth street between Kansas ave
nue and Jackson street, and Jackson, be
tween Huntoon and Twelfth.
The work will be done this year, pro
vided the city can find a contractor who
is willing to wait until next year for his
pay. The Topeka Railway company in
formed the streets and walks committee
that it can find a contractor. That will
be satisfactory to the city. The commit
tee decided to turn down the petition for
the creation of a benefit district for the
purpose of opening Throop street in tha
Fifth ward. Councilman Shimer's resolu
tion to allow the use of the parking at
Tenth and Jefferson streets to E. P. Ross
was also rejected.

"Hear, Land-o'-Cakes an brither Scots,
