pegs on a hat rack, and his ribs

EuRoPE'S HOT WAVE.


Hundreds of Prostrstions and Many
Deaths Reported.
LONDON, Aug 22.--Many deaths from
the heat are reported from all parts Of
Germany. Marching in from parade
ground a regiment stationed in Halle lost
al of its privates who fell in the road,
overcome with the heat. One of them
died, and three others are in a critical
condition.
In Posen there have been six deaths by
sunstrokes. In Carlsruhe six grenadiers
died after review this morning.
PARIS, Aug. %. After drill at Tours
191 soldiers were stricken down by the
heat while they were marching back to
the city. Several of them probably will
die. Sunstrokes have been frequent
throughout the city and the hospital is
crowded
VIENNA, Aug. 22.-There is no abate-
ment whatever in the terrible heat that
has prevailed here for some time. All
day Sunday the sun was as fierce as ever,
and the suffering entailed is dreadful, the
long continued heat having most serious
effect upon persons who are confined to
their beds by sickness.
During the morning several deaths
from sunstroke occurred, and it is a COM
mon sight on the streets to see people
swoon. The city is practically taking a
holiday. No one ventures out unless
compelled by absolute necessity, and
then they move along in most listless
manner. Unless a change for the better
sets in soon the death rate will be enor-
| mously increased

Eastern physicians say that the Grippe has
begun to make its appearance in the east
and that well defined cases have been re-
ported in New York City. This much is
known II regard to it that it will not attack
person whose digestive organs are in good
condition. The only rule followed by the
medical profession in Europe is to stimulate
the system and TO keep the digestion IN good
order. To this end you should avoid any
thing like constipation. Indigestion, or kim
bred maladies. When you are troubled in
this way take the Laxative Gum Drops.
These gum drops are mild and gentle. They
are not powerful purge, racking the sys-
tenn until they irritate the lining Of the stoIn-
ach and bowels, and by reflect action leav-
ing the condition of the digestive organs in
a worse state than before the remedy was
taken. The Laxative Gum Drops act quiet
ly. arousing the forces of Nature to action,
but not disturbing them in the least. So
that when relief is obtained the system is
perfectly regulated. And is much less liable
to contract disease than it was when first at
tackled. In this particular these gum drops
are better than anything that was ever of
fered to the public. Get them of any deal

ones twenty five cents.

KANSAS CHURCHES,

Salina Herald: The Christian church
has called Rev. H Miner Black, of
London, England, and late of Mel
bourne, Australia, to be pastor. Rev.
Black is a young preacher of great en-
ergy, and will undoubtedly prove to be
a tireless worker in Salina.
The First Baptist church of Hiawatha
took fire at 9 o'clock at night, and in
side of thirty minutes was in ruins. The
fire broke out in the tower, possibly
from the arc electric light wires. The
church was worth $4,000; the insurance
was $4,000. The new parsonage, just
finished, was unframed. A fine brick
church will be built at once, to be COM
pleted on February 1.
The diocesan convention of the Epis-
copal church held three days session
at st. Paurs church, Leavenworth. A
work of the convention was to divide
the state into four deaneries or convoca-
tions for the purpose of the advance
ment of missionary work. The deans
appointed: were Northeast, Rev. S. B.
Pond, of Leavenworth; northwest, W.
Christian, of Abilene; southwest, Rev.
Rahmes, of Wichita; northwest, Rev.
Ellerby, of Parsons. During the even
ing the northeastern convocation assem-
bled with Rev. Pond presiding, and adj
dresses were made by Rev. Mr. Foote.
of st. Joseph, and Rev. Delongey, OF
Salina, on the subject of the best music
for churches. Each Of the addresses

it will be pushed with all possible
