Will Soon be Extinct.

Four or five years ago the hunter
who went out in the morning and re-
turned at night with less than twenty
five birds on his string was consider
ed as playing in poor luck indeed. A
string of fifty or sixty quail was con
sidered very fair days work. The
man who brings down ten in a day
now is in luck indeed. At the present
rate they will soon be extinct. The
hawk is the boy who is doing the
bigger part of the work. He will

Inyalids Should Remember the
Date.

We wish again to call the atten-
ton of our readers to the return Wis
it of DIR. France, as announced by his
large advertisement in this issue of
our paper.
DR.. w. A. France, who presents
his credentials from the best medi-
cal institutions in the country, has
spent the past twenty years in the
constant investigation and treat
ment of chronic diseases. The fact
that he refuses to prescribe for any
disease outside of his specialties and
asks only those to visit him who
have failed to get relief from their
family physicians, entities him to
confidence. Large numbers already
throng his parlors at each visit.
Every invalid should carefully read
his mammoth advertisement and
visit him at the Miller House, Napo
leon, Thursday, Dec. 10th, Burnett
House, Toledo, Friday, Dec. goth.
One day only. Consultation free
and strictly confidential.

We're shocked to learn of the death
George Ellsworth, of Washington
township, which sad event occurred
on Friday last. Mr.. E. was one of
the most prosperous young farmers
of the county and was respected by
everybody. He had been sick sew
eral weeks withlung fever, from which
his system never rallied. He was
born in Washington township on
April 25th, 1859, and about nine
years ago was united in marriage to
Miss Cynthia Whitaker. To this
union two children were born, one
following the father to the spirit
world in its infancy. Mr.. Ellsworth
was model citizen and was re-
Ispected by all who knew. him. His
death is q great loss to. the COM
munity in which he lived.

The case of the State of Nebraska

trict court at Lakin, Neb.
The wreck was the most disastrous
that has ever occurred in that state,
eleven people being burned to death and
twice that number sustaining severe in
juries.
Davis, whether for the purpose of rob-
berry or with the intention of tagging
the train, removed one length of rail on
each side of the track on the bridge over
the Union Pacific and B. s. NJ. tracks,
three miles west of Lincoln.
If it was his intention to flag the train,
he failed to return in time, as the train
struck the broken place and was pre-
cipitated thirty feet to the ground.
Fire started from the car stoves and
the entire train of three cars, including
the engine, was entirely destroyed

FRIENDS IN NEED.
They See That a Poor Girl Gets
Her Rights.
MISS ELLA OYERHOLSER'S TROUBLES.

Her Two Hundred Dollars is Gone,
and She Seems to Have a note That
is Worthless.
Little Ella Overholser, who used to do
Office work for Lawyer P. Fl. Forbes, and
who is we'll known by most of Topeka's
business men, was made happy yester-
day afternoon when F. J. Vanderberg,
who has an Office in the Jones building
and teaches short hand by mail" was
induced to give her back her note for
$500 which he had secured from her as
pretended friend.
Miss Overholser is a poor girl and a
cripple, She has many friends. Not
long ago she went to DR.. Francis
vacuum establishment for treatment
While there she received $500 from her
guardian, and DR.. Francis asked her to
loan him the money on his goods. When
she was ready to leave the hospital DIR.
Francis presented a bill for almost the
entire amount, although she had already
paid him considerable money.
Some of Miss Overholser's friends ad-
vised her to turn her note over to some
person as an innocent purchaser and
have it collected in that way.
1t was in this transaction that F. ].
instance of the federal authorities in Kan
sas for alleged, misuse of the United
States mails, came into the transaction.
Vanderberg induced Miss OverholseT
to sign the note over to him for an al
legged consideration, through which he
said he would undertake to collect the
money for her.
Miss Overholser agreed to this and
$3.50 was named as the consideration in
r - IL 4
though not one cent was paid =
A few days ago Miss Overholser went
to see Vanderberg about the note and he
said he had not collected the money and
intimated that the note was his anyway
and he would do what he pleased
about it.
Yesterday some of the little woman's
lawyer friends heard about the transact
ton, and they volunteered their services
to make Vaaderberg give up her note.
In company with a lawyer friend. Miss
Overholser called on Wander berg at his
office and demanded the note. He said
he did not have "her" note and said he
proposed to stand by the records which
showed that he had paid her $3.50 for the
note
When he refused to give up the note
on demand, the lawyers called on JUS
tice of the Peace Guy, who volunteered
to give his services without cost to help
the girl get her money, and then Miss
Overholser went back and made another
demand for her note.
After several offers and refusals of a
consideration for the return of the note,
FaEderburg, about 4 o'clock yesterday
AFTERNOON, turned the note over for $40.
which was loaned Miss Overholser by
friend.
She now has the note, but is afraid she
wont he able to collect it. as some ofthe
property included in the mortgage Sc
curing it has already been disposed of.

Ex-Governor Lewelling has moved his

to 325 West Douglass avenue, says the
Wichita Eagle.
Yesterday a reporter for the Eagle
sauntered into his new place of business
and found nothing in the office but the
governors shoes that had Just been TAX
en- off. A seductive smell of buttermilk
inspired a desire to make further ex-
plorations and opening the door to

Inside of a minute he was standing be-
side barrel with a dipper in his hand
ready to serve buttermiIk with gener-

goes to see Mr.. Lewelling, poor or rich,
statesman or laboring man, he is always
sure of a hearty welcome and as much
buttermilk as he deems wise to drink.

You didn't know that I made this butter

Why of course l made it from cream

the best butter in the market today.

be few years ago, although 1 sell in q
more extensive territory than ever be-

Mr.. Lewelling is not only a hard work

tirkin of butter is ready for the cover, it
is as nice as any woman with dainty
hands could do it.

On the Santa Fe in the Past Year in
Statistical Table.

On the Santa Fee in the Past Year in p
Statistical Table.
The proof of the annual report of the
Santa Fe Hospital association for the year
ending June 80. has been received by
Chief Surgeon Hogeboom for the .pur-
pose of comparison with the original
papers on file in his Office.
The report is interesting from the fact
that it shows the least number of deaths
in proportion to the number of persons
sick and injured in the history of the
association.
Out of a total of %, 524 cases of sick
ness and injuries during the past year,
fiftv-one deaths occurred. OF this total
Is, 40 were cases of sickness with TWEEN
ty-one deaths. and STA cases of injur-
les with thirty deaths.
The total number of cases treated in
hospitals was 715, the deaths amounting
to two per cent of the total.
The report shows, when compared with
that of last year, an increase of 403 in
the number of persons injured, and a
decrease of $50 in the number of cases
of sickness treated.
Injuries to the hand were the most
numerous, 353 occurring, ths injuries to
the eye ranking next with a total of 271.
The report will be completed and
ready for issue by December 1.
