state House News.
The members of the state board of
railroad commissioners who were in
Finney and Kearney counties the latter
part of last week made some startling
discoveries.
The object of their trip was to hear
the complaint of the citizens of Deer
field, Kearney county. against the Santa
Fe. The Deerfield people want
their station reopened and in
making their showing of the
business done last year, they showed that
they had shipped three car loads of
melon seeds from that community last
year.
Two car loads of these seeds were
shipped to D. NJ. Ferry s. Co., Detroit
and one car load was sold to Bartelde's
seed house at Lawrence. The citizens
of the place say last year was a pretty
good year for melons but they expect to
raise still more this year.
Their crop consists of watermelons,
muskmelons and cantaloupes. 1t will be
in order to change the name of this sta
ton from Deerfield to Melontown if this
record is to be kept up.

MR.. FERRIS WHEELS.

He is Said to Have 'em-His Prosecu-
ton of the Coleman Boys Fell Flat.
Floyd and Walter Coleman, 10 and 20
years old. were tried in the police court
charged with disturbing the peace of A.
L. Ferris, who lives in Parkdale. Mr..
Ferris is a man who causes a great deal
of litigation of a similar nature, and
there are those who say that Ferris has
several of his justly celebrated wheels
under the roots of his long curly hair.
The Colemen boys were discharged
Ferris charged that the boys called
him vile names, and threatened to as
sault him with a club. The testimony
entire showed that the case was one of
long standing, and has been more or less
a family quarrel for some time. The
boys said Ferris had testified falsely
against their mother, and claimed also
that Ferris had accused them of stealing
his chickens. S. S. Urmy defended the
boys. and the trial of the case was long
drawn out It ended in Emma Ferris, a
distant relative of the complaining wit
ness, being fined SO for disturbing the
peace.

The press over the entire state has
had much to say and has devoted much
valuable space to the wonders worked
in different cities in Kansas by FARO.
To the persons who for years upon years
have been victims of the many chronic
diseases to which we are all heirs, the
statements made regarding these won
derful cures would seem preposterous in
the extreme. Many have consulted
noted specialists, have taken barrels of
medicine and have lifted themselves
from their beds after years of treatment,
greater sufferers than at the inception
of the disease, and thorough pessimists
as regards the possibility of permanent
cure.
1t was the desire of the reporter to
meet and talk with FARO and learn from
his own lips the story of his phenomenal
and seemingly impossible cures and in
quire regarding his plans of procedure
in introducing himself to the residents
of city on his first visit.
81 make a specially of the treatment
and cure" said FARO, cot any long stand
ing and difficult chronic diseases, such
as rheumatism and paralysis, and in the
treatment of and operation on the eye,
and before have been here long l shall
be spoken OF in the highest terms of
eulogy by the hundreds of sufferers
shall have the privilege of treating.
81 do not work with the faith cure or
the laying on of hands or magnetic heal
ing, as they are all fakes. pure and sim
pie, and never cure real disease in the
world, nor am 1 a new Messiah. My
cures are effected by means of my own
remedies, remedies commanded after
years of research in the old world, where
have been associated with the crowned
heads in the medical realm. l have not
heard as yet of a physician anywhere
who is effecting the cures that l am &C
complaining l have not only my
claims to show, but l have hundreds of
sffidavits and the evidence of the press
TO substantiate my claims.
"My offices and the Railways of this
building have been crowded by people
from early dawn until late at night, and
hundreds of people the past week have
been turned away, being unable to get in
to see the doctor For that reason l ex-
tend the time of free treatment to all for
six days more. People who wish to know
what my treatment and medicines will
do for rheumatism can go to the Capital
City brick yards tomorrow and they will
find the man Woods, who came to me at
my first lecture walking on two canes,
twisted out of shape with rheumatism;
they will find him at work in the brick
yard tomorrow. Do you want any better
evidence than this as to what the treat
ment will do?" And the Capital man

this time will give consultation free to
all who call Tho free treatment will be

w. e. DOM'S CASE.
His Accuser, T. H. Cecil of Omaha, is
Here to Prosecute.

Here to Prosecute.
The preliminary examination of Law
yer W. E. Dom, charged with embezzle-
ment, is set for tomorrow morning in
Justice Guys court. The case has been
continued several times already, and as
the complaining witness, T. H. Cecil of
Omaha, will be present, it is probable
that the examination will be had.
One feature of the Dom case that has
come to light within the past few days is
in relation to two fraudulent checks on
the Bank of Topeka passed by Dom
when he was in Chicago. The checks
were small ones in Dom's favor on his
wife's bank account, and were endorsed
by A. L. Allen, a former Topeka man
who is in Chicago. The checks were
for So and $5.25, and were received few
days ago DIT the bank and protested.
Vice President Albert Knowles says that
neither Dom nor his wife have had any
account at the Bank Of Topeka.
A damaging feature of the case against
Dom is letter which was written by
him to Mr.. Cecil late in April. Dom adj
mits in the letter that he is an embezzler
from him, admits that he has done wrong,
bat says he hopes sometime to make
good the whole amount and asked for
leniency. The letter was very repentant
in tone.
Chief Wilkerson says he receives a
great many communications from out of
the city inquiring into the merits of some
of Dom's numerous companies"
One of these companies is the "Kansas
Adjustment company" and the following
is one of its most popular circulars:
"a claim has been reported to
