enabled to get out the next morning with
fairly fresh news. I would even hold

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
At the World Medical Institute
Patients Who Had Failed Here
tofore Have Received Prompt
Relief From Their treatment.

In the first place it is not only abso-
lutely essential that you should have the
most skilIful and scientific physicians,
but the best and purest remedies suitable
to your case regardless of the cost.
Cheap remedies are dear at any price
and positively injurious to your system.
There are hundreds, yes thousands, IN
your midst who are suffering, weeks,
months and years, because they do not
know where to go to get successful med
ical treatment. The papers are full OF
glaring advertisements of patent medi-
cines. as we'll as quacks, who practice
frauds and deception, who give their pa
tents cheap decoction, you had az well
| take pure water which would be prefer
able, when you are sick. 1t is cure you
want and have right to. when you pay
| for ii. The physicians Of the World
Medical Institute set about to do some
! thing to correct this wrong. They have
corrected it to a large extent in Kansas
City and vicinities by curing many hun
dreds who thought their case to be incur
able, but were agreeably surprised to
find, after a few months skillfuI and
honest treatment, that they have been re-
stored to health again. If you are suf-
fering go to the World Medical Institute,
631 Quincy street, Topeka, Kan, where
you won't have to pay out your money
unless you can be cured, as they will not
accept any case that is not durable. No
man or woman need suffer in this en-
lightened age. The method of treating
the large number at minimum price has
placed cure within the reach of all.

A NOBLEMAN IN KANSAS.
An EnEIishs Knight Who Helps Poor
Girls to an Eduecstion.
Arkansas City Letter in New York Times.l


Arkansas City Letter in New York Times.l
One would hardly seek in drouthy,
bnrned Kansas an English nobleman,
and especially nobleman who has for
saxon his ancestral home for the sake of
saving the souls of those who are here
trying to save their bodies. And yet he
is here, in the person of Robert Norville,
Jolly little round bodied man, who.
having circled the globe nine times, has
deemed il his mission to labor with this
people as a minister in the Christian
church, or Church of the Disciples. Sir
Robert NorvilIe has undertaken the
education of some 1900 girls in addition
to his other self-im posed duties, advanc-
ing the money that is necessary to carry
them through the church school in HI
inois, where he sends them. He does
not make gift of the money, merely
loaniug it to be paid back as the reci-
pients of his generosity can find the
means in later years. He usually eXacts
e-fourth the Il rst year after the educa-
ton of the girls is completed, and one
fourth yearly thereafter. This money is
then used again for the same purpose.
Incidentally he aids in building up
weak churches work that he finds most
difficult at this time among a people
struggling with poverty, brought about
by repeated crop failures.
This queer character invariably pays
all his own expenses, never accepting a
cent in any shape for his personal use.
He shuns public notice, saying he is
serving his Master, who has brough t
him out of severe trials and troubles.
For two yeart his labOrs have been in
the counties comprising what is known
as the southern tier, continually passing
from one community to another, aiding a
church, or sending girl to Illinois to
completed her education and prepare
herself for a life Of self-support
The longing to again circle the globe
has come upon him with full force, and
he is closing up his work preparatory to
another move. This time he will leave
Kansas and return to take up his task
after visiting san Francisco, Australia,
England and New York. He says this
will be his last trip around the world.
which will take him about a year to
complete. when he will take up his
work in this state again.
In appearance he is as poverty strick-
en- as those among whom he labors, and
yet his check at the banks in this city is
worth thousands of dollars. He declined
to talk of his life in the old country,
simply admitting that he has held no
communication with them for years. 1t
is certain that he receives large remit
tances directly from London, but little of
which is ever expended upon himself.

THE LAW IN ATCHISON.
Citizens Are Close NIOuthed When They
Come to Topeka.

Ex-C City Attorney J. F. Tufts of Atch-
ison was in Topeka last evening. He
was one of the most enthusiastic of the
members of the convention of the cities
of the first class. which met in Topeka
last winter. He was defeated for renom-
ination by Cliff Holbert, who was in turn
defeated by Democrat.
Mr. Tufts does not care to talk about
the situation in Atchison SO far as the
prohibitory law is concerned. In answer
to a question as to whether the law is be-
ing enforced he said: "Why Atchison is
in Kansas, isn't it?" which being inter
preted means anything.

The Patriotic Picnic Given at Garfield
Park Last Evening.
A very large crowd for a picnic at
tended the one given at Garfield park
yesterday afternoon and evening. This
was the patriotic picnic" When sup
per was served there were all that the
tables could accommodate and the peo-
pie kept coming until the programme
was half finished.
The ladies of Lincoln circle we're first
on the ground Disposing of the supper
occupied the crowd until 8 o'clock, when
a programme was given at the band
stand. GormIey's band played two Sc
lections, after which Mrs. j. G. Wood
made an interesting address in behalf Of
the circle. After another selection by
the band, Prof. o. C. Hill was introduced
and spoke briefly.
Ia fAfter the programme was concluded
those present enjoyed themselves by
playing games and in conversation until
the time came for each patriot to return
to his home, and they left feeling that
they had taken the initiative in festiv-
ity which deserves to be and will be con :
tinued.
The plan of the picnic is Mrs. j. G..
Woods and this clever and hard working
lady has great reason to feel proud of
the success of her project

WORKING AGAINST EVIL.
Sioux City Ministers Organize a Christian
citizenship League.

Sioux CITY, Iowa. Aug. 14.-The Sioux
City ministerial association has formed a
local organization of the Christian Citi-
zenship league, the officers of the Minis
terial association being made temporary
officers of the league. Dr. Carlos Martyr
of Chicago was present, and spoke of
the work of the organization throughout
the country, declaring that Sioux City
is one of less than twenty places which
have entered into partnership with the
disreputable classes.
An animated discussion followed, in
which ''the prevalent spirit of lawless-
ness" in Sioux City was freely discussed.
An effort will be made to bring all the
prominent business men into the organi-
cation and to thoroughly reform local
politics.

L1TTLEREDsCHO HOUSE
To Give Way to a Fine New Brick
One.

The people in the Sutherin district just
west of the city have commenced the
erection of pressed brick school house
which is to cost $4,000. Seymour Davis
drew the plan for the building and it will
be one of the most complete of the school
houses outside of the city.
1t is to be two stories high with two
rooms in the lower story and two in the
upper. At present only the lower rooms
will be used for school purposes and the
other rooms will be used for hall.
There was a contention among the
people in the district about the location
of the school house, and when it was de-
cided to place it on the Eighth street
road there was talk of an injunction be-
cause the school house will not be near
the center of the district but legal pro-
ceedings have been abandoned and the
school house will be built on the site Sc
lected.
The old school house in this district
was built in 1870 on the Sixth street road
and is one of the oldest brick school
buildings in the county.

BASS AT LAKE VIEW.

News OF Interest to HOrsemen-SpOrf-

P. ]. Hindmarsh returned a few days
ago from Lake View, where he went for

the sport which was at one time better at
that place than anywhere else in the
state, completely ruined by last years

that thousands of fish were killed
last summer, that few large mouthed
bass were still to be caught out of
the lake, but that fond hope
has now been dispelled, at least
in Mr.. Hindmarsh's mind. The club
will restock with bass, perch and crop
pie before another season.
The duck shooting at Lake View this
fall should be all that could be desired,
as the lake could not we'll be in better

BUYING GOOD HORSES.
Eighteen Thousand Dollars Paid Out for
First GLASS Roadsters.

A. F. Unger. who has been in the city
three months buying horses to ship to
Philadelphia, reports that good roadsters
are in demand. He said today to a
JOURNAL reporter: 81 believe it would
take three months travelling over the
state to secure twenty first class road
sters. The market for common scrubs is
very poor, and I don't see that it will
ever be any better. There is too much
electricity used nowadays to make COM
mon horses worth much.
"Since 1 have been in Topeka I have
paid out $4,000 for horses The highest
priced one was Ida Medium, 2:24, for $500
and have bought a few chunks as low
as $50. The average price was less than
500. There don't seem to be the num-
Der of good stylish roadsters in Kansas
on the market that there were year or
two ago. At least 1 am unable to find
them. Perhaps when these trOtting
men come home broke in the fall there
will be some good ones to be had"
