A SMOOTH CUSTOMER GONE.

On Sunday evening one of the srnoot hest
robbers that ever struck the city left after
about completely covering the ground.
His game has been a rather small one but
he has worked it persistently. He always
claimed TO be having some one on the
string for sale of real estate. He always
had a man who had from $500 to $4,000
on hand TO invest in Kansas. OF course
his customers wanted some Wichita real
estate. He would 20 70 some one who had
real estate TO sell and tel him of his Gus
toners and claim he must go 20 st. Louis
to see them or some other point and get a
few dollars advanced to pay his expenses.

The common pleas court yesterday made
a roundup sentencing the criminals, the
fellow coming in for the longest term
being Morris, the great prize fighter.
Morris had quite a day in Wichita, the
toughs following him miles north and
miles south to see him perform on the ten
der spots of his opponent, but as will be
remembered sometimes the other fellow
found tender spots on him. His chump
action at Mt. Hope got him into the pen
itentiary for eight years, at the expiration
of the term, no doubt, he will have the
liquor out of his frame and be ready for a
harder battles. His pals in the job are
summing themselves on the streets, while
the prize fighter, able to handle coal, will
no doubt handle it.

Prof. X. Hay, of Junction City, the
well-known Kansas geologist, was in the
city yesterday, on route to the Panhandle
country. He will there meet the state
geologist of Missouri and they will spend
some weeks looking over the country with
reference TO artesian water supply. 1t is
generally considered that water coming
up out of holes made in the ground would
be good thing for that section. Some of
the residents have for years been booming
towns on high-pressure water and it APP

Kidney Troubles.

Most people, when treating
kidney troubles. resort to
powerful remedies, or else they
take opium in some form or
other. the result being that the
patient simply drags along un-
til his disease becomes chronic,
then he is told "It is impossible
to cure Blight's Disease of the
Kidneys" 1t is, however, pos
sible to prevent ''Bright's Dis
ease of the Kidneys" and that
is by taking Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure at the
first symptoms of trouble. The
disease is thus stopped before
it develops new features and
the patient is cnred. "Bright's
Disease of the Kidneys" is sim
Ply the name for Consumption
of the Kidneys in its last
stages. The true way is not to
wait until the malady has as
sumed this form, but to treat it
in time. People get cold, neg
-lect themselves, allow it to run,
go about complaining. take
more cold, feel miserably, ex-
pose themselves, get down,
they lose their appetite, the
stomach no longer digests its
food, and they finally conclude
that they have "Bright's Dis
ease of the Kidneys" when the
fact is that their whole system
is ont of order. Then they rush
to doctor and expect the man
OF science to give them a pre-
scription that will at once cure
them. Of course he can't do
this, and then they abuse the
doctor. Any reasonable person
will tell them that it will take
as long to heal them as they
were in getting sick. The true
way is to take Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure at the
first appearance of the malady,
and thus break up or eradicate
the disease before it fastens
upon You.

THE DlReE ue THE SEASIDE BELLE

There are no young men at the beaches this
summer.-Currert Item.
The Atlantic ocean is a tolera5,e ocean,
Perhaps desirable sea;
And the waves on the beach are good enough
But not good enough waves for me-
And the sky above Is pretty fair sky
The surf there are many to laud;
But there's no man in sight from morning to
night,
And think the whole thing Is a fraud
For the waves as they curl,
With their swish and their swirl,
Without young man are a bore to girl
The Atlantic ocean is popular ocean
With people fond of the sea-
But the sea without men Is a dull kind of thing
And it's no kind of ocean for me-
They rave Ger the glow of the sunset sea
And the moon with its lane of light;
But In the broad day or beneath the moons ray
There's never man in sight.
And the sun and the shade
And the moon, I'm afraid
Without a young man are bore to a maid.
The Atlantic ocean is a good enough ocean
pretty well advertised sea;
But without the young man and all that sort of
thing
It's no kind of ocean for me-
l know that the poets have sung of the sea,
As soft silly poets will sing;
But bare stretch of beach and no man within
reach
Is very lugubrious thing
And the summer hotel
And the surf and the swell
without young man are bore TO belle
