CONSTIPATION
It is surprising how many people there are who
allow themselves to become and remain consti
pated. They apparently do not know that this
condition poisons the entire system. Not imme
diately of course, but after a little time as the poi
sonous impurities accumulate they attack the vital
organs and undermine the constitution. As a re
sult, the victim becomes pale, hollow-eyed and
sallow, the breath i9 foul, the head aches fre
quently, the strength slowly declines and the once
strong, active body becomes weak and nervous.
Prickly Ash Bitters
is a cleansing tonic and restorative just suited to
such conditions. It is a genial stimulant for the
stomach, liver and bowels, purifies the system thor
oughly and invigorates the kidneys, conveying
strength and new life to the whole internal organ
ism. Under its marvelous reviving influence there
is at once a brightening up in body and brain, re
newed energy, strength, vim and cheerfulness.

Kansas City, May 14.—Concerning the
affairs of the Siegel-Sanders Company,

“I asked for a receiver so that the

started again under new management,
of course. I cannot tell what the losses
are now. We have no means of knowing,
but we are going to find out. Two ex
perts began work on the books today,
and will look into everything from the
day our company began business.”

vested. The books may develop a great
many things we don't know of at this
time.”

Brudder Johnsing on Temperance.
“Gentlemen, be seated," said the High
Sheriff of the Police Court yesterday as
Judge Feagin entered the courtroom, Im
pelled thither by a sense of duty. It Is
astonishing, by the way, what a conscien
tious man can do from a sense of duty.
This remark has been remarked before,
but the original remarker having failed
to copyright it. It is quite right to copy
it.
“Brudder Johnsing will begin de cere
monies by tellln’ de cote his ’sperience on
de temp'rance question,” continued the
sheriff, who had lived so long in the at
mosphere of the Police Court that he
could talk the court language quite as
well as any courtier or defendant.
“Which of these high-toned ‘cullud
gem’men’ Is Brudder Johnsing?” asked
Judge Feagin, who by this time had
mounted the rostrum and pulled the court
lever wide open. The machinery runs
smoothly in the Police Court, and soon
was going at the rate of a criminal a
minute.
“I think the one with silver specs must
be Brudder Johnsing,” said the clerk.
“He has the holy air which is always
worn by holy terrors.”
“Dat am my entrimmelments,” said the
colored gentleman pointed out by the
clerk.
“What did he do?” asked the Judge.
“He was drunk, your honor,” said Of
ficer Bourjolce. “I found him in the alley
fiat on his back with a spring knife in his
hand stabbing upwards at the ground. He
was as full of mud as a hog.”
“This is a ground hog case, it seems,”
said the judge, "though the defendant
seems to have been full of something be
sides mud. Probably his name is mud.”
"No sah, it am Johnsing,” said the de
fendant. "I scorn the attribushun, sah,
da/t I war ’toxioated. I war er little under
the ’fluence ob tea. De sisters of my con
gregashun, jedge, had de perlitenesa ter
gib me er tea sochiable. De 'freshments
war spring chickens an’ tea. I drunk
seberal ob de chickens an' ate er smalll
slice ob de tea which fotch me up wld
er swlmmln' In de he’d, an* on de way
home I lay down In de alley ter hold It
down an’ keep It frum failin' on me: I'se
er temp’runce man, Jedge, an’ don’t neb
ber drink.”
“What about the spring knife you had
In your hand?" asked the judge.
“I had dat ter karve de. spring chick
ins wld,” said the defendant.
‘I suppose carving and eating spring
chickens had gone to your head,” said
the judge, “and that when you fell down
in the alley you were still going through
the motions of carving chickens.”
“Yes, sah. Dat's hit," said the defen
dant.
"I am glad you didn't hurt yourself,
Brudder Johnsing when you fell down
in the alley,” said the Judge, “because
you have fallen down In court and this
is going to hurt you financially. You
ought to be fined extra for making such
a poor defense, but I will let you off with
J5. Call the next.”
A Watchful Man.
“What Is the next case?” asked Judge
Feagin.
'■‘John the Baptist, your Honor, charged
with larceny,” said the clerk.
"All the witnesses against John the
Baptist hold up their right hands and bo
sworn,” said the judge.
The witnesses held up their hands and
were sworn while John hung down his
head.
“You mustn't hang down your head,”
said the judge to the defendant.
“He may be hung up by it some day,” j
said tho sheriff. "Better let him hang it
down while he can."
“What did John do?” asked the judge. ]
“Judge,” said the prosecutor, “night ;
befo' las' I los' my watch. It war in my j
pocket on my pussun. Me an’ Will Moon
an' John de Baptist war in de res'rant
torgedder when I fell asleep. Will was on j
de right an’ John on de left. He war next
to de watch.”
“Did he get next to It?" asked the
jadge.
“Yes sir. It lays between Will an’ him.
Will war on de right but he got left. John
am de watchman,” said the prosecutor.
"If you were asleep don’t you think you
needed a watchman?" asked the judge.
"No sah. When I woke up I se'd 'John
whar's my watch?' an' he se'd, 'I ain't got
It,’ an’ I se’d 'all right, Jedge Feagln got
ter see. ’bout dat. Dat's sumflng I don’t
’low no one ter play wld.' Den I went
arter de perllce an’ we found Jo^n de
Baptist In flyln’ Jinny an’ U1 Moon er
moonin’.”
A witness then took the stand and
said his name was Tom Toby, but that
he was called two-bits for short, which
was really more than h« was worth.
"What do you know about the watch?”
asked the Judge.
“X heard dat Will Moon had sum money
fur John de Baptist,” said tha witness,
‘‘an’ bein' as It war Saturday an’ I need
ed sum money fur my reg’lar Monday
fine, I went arter him ter git sum. He
only gimme er nickel an’ I went out an'
took er ride on de flyin’ Jinny wld John
de Baptist.”
"I suppose Will Moon had sold the
watch for John the Baptist,” said the
judge, “and owed him part of the money
and you went to him to get some of it.
Was that it?”
“Yes sah.”
“What do you say about It, John?”
asked the judge.
“I cum erlong, jedge,” said John the
Baptist, “an’ dls gem’man,” indicating the
prosecutor, “axed me In de rest’rant ter
git sum beer. I se’d I got er dime an’
he se’d he had er dime an’ one ordered
drinks an’ it took so long I went ter sleep.
I was tired an’ dunno nuffln ‘bout de
watch.”
“This seems to be a case of two sleep
ing beauties,” said the judge. “You and
the prosecutor were both asleep. Maybe
he dreampt his watch was stolen?”
“He never had no watch, Jedge,” said
the defendant.
“Was the stolen property found on the
defendant?” asked the Judge of the of
ficer.
"No sir; we only found the usual num
ber of razors,” said the officer.
“I don’t this this evidence warrants me
in fining the defendant,” said the Judge.
“I will nol proes this watch case for
want of proof. I think the prosecutor
merely took a flyer at the defendant be
cause he took a fly at the flying Jinny.”

ON THE RACE TRACK
At Latonia.
Cincinnati, May 14.—Racing at Latonia

the outlook for a successful meeting Is
very discouraging. It was rumored today
that there would be a free gate there

There Is a western jockey club rule
against a free gate, and the Latonia folks
will have td get permission from the oth
er members of the association before

against Newport, and Is the second big

SUFFERING WOMEN
Man hall, Texas, August 12, 1900.
I am so grateful to you for your valuable medicine, Wine of Cardul. It is wonderful and should be brought
to all suffering women. My periods lasted too long. Now they have become regular and have the right color. The
pains are not severe and I am strong. The blindness has left me. I feel all right and I know your medicine has
cured me. _ CORA ANN GARRETT.
There are many more sick women than there are well ones in this city today.
The duties which wifehood and motherhood impose too often break the health years
before a woman should be past her prime. In thousands of homes every month brings
dreadful days spent in suffering the agonies of disordered menses. Nature never
intended as necessary and important a function as menstruation to be the cause of
pain. We say emphatically and positively that this suffering can be avoided. There
is no excuse for racking menstrual pains when Wine of Cardui, the great natural
emmenagogue, will bring a quick cure.
WINE0* CARDUI
regulates the menstrual flow perfectly. It not only banishes the pain but forestalls and cures distressing
cases of leucorrhoea. Every woman knows the cutting, burning pains of falling of the womb that shoot
through the entire body. Wine of Cardui has cured a million such cases. Thedford’s Black-Draught is
a valuable laxative made to assist Wine of Cardui by regulating the bowels and invigorating the torpid
liver. No woman taking Wine of Cardui and Thedford’s Black-Draught has failed of a permanent cure
of menstrual troubles when the medicines were used according to directions. Read again what Mrs.
Garrett wrote. Your druggist sells Wine of Cardui and Thedford’s Black-Draught.
