The Gazette has advertised many remedies,
but none which could not give satisfactory proof
of being possessed of real merit. We made an
investigation in regard to Pink Pills the other
day, and at the instance of Gardner 4 Davis,
druggists, interviewed Herbert Spencer. We
never saw stronger or more straightforward
endorsement.

A MALPRACTICE Shit.

Minnie Ellis of Barre. has brought a malprac
iice suit.against DIR A M Phelps, the celebrated
New York surgeon who is professor of surgery
at the medical department of the University OF
Vermont. The suit is for $4,000 and is brought
because it is claimed that when the plaintiff, &
l1.year-old girl, was clinic patient at the Mary
Fletcher hospital last June to be treated for di
scase of the right hip, the surgeon performed
an operation upon and removed n portion OF
bone from the left hip and that the girl is a
cripple for life. On the other hand physicians
who have knowledge of the case assert that
the girl has not suffered am damage beyond d
loss of a few months time. She Is at the hos
ptal and Is no more of cripple than when she
came there.

1t has heretofore been the practice
of collectors of gutta -percha to cut
down the trees to get at the gum. 1t
has been discovered that piucking the
leaves and extracting the gum from
them is not only more profitable as to
immediate results, but does away
with the danger of discriminating the
plant. The gum obtained from the
leaves is purer. easier TO manage and
more abundant than that gathered by
cutting the tree. 1t has been found
that two pluckings of the leaves yields
as much gum az tree of p years
growth. Some concern has been ex-
messed as to the possible failure OF
the supply. because Of the destruction
of these forests, but this new discovery
will not only make the crop easy to
gather. but will increase the supply,
bring down the price and permit of Z
much wider range of uses than hereto
fore.

on Wednesday sentenced to one year
in the workhouse and to pay a fine OF
liquor. If he does not pay the 800 he
must polish marble an extra 300 days.
This is rough on Dennis, who proba-

Burlington can sell rum night and day
for 300 days or 300 years and only
have an occasional assessment levied
against them. But perhaps Dennis
didn't have the right kind of "a pull. "

r. O.. DarneIl thinks it doesn't pay to
be public spirited. Yesterday near the
Davis elevator in North Topeka Darnell
saw a boy named Denman, who escaped
from the reform school a year ago. Oar
nell used to be an attendant at the reform
school and he recognized him. Darnell
captured the boy, but people who saw
the affair say he used more force than
was necessary. The boy was choked
badly and his shirt was nearly torn off.
The ex-attendant says the boy resisted by
kicking him, but the boy was bare-f foot
ed. Officer Gaines appeared on the
scene about the time the excitement was
the highest and on the solicitation of
several of the neighbors DarnelI was ar
rested, while the Denman boy was turn

In the police court today none Of the
witnesses who had promised to testify tt

THE DEVIL is THERE
Preying on Young Girls at Saliva
ton Army Meetings.
TINE FOR THE ARMY TO ACT.

The Good Not Always Strong Enough
TO C0unteract the influences OF the
Wicked.
While it may be admitted that the Sal
walton Army has before it noble object
and is brave in keeping to it, it is fact
that its meetings are encouraging an
evil that should be stopped.
During the summer the army is loca-
ted in tent on East Sixth street between
Quincy and Monroe streets Immediately
north of and almost forming a part of
the Quincy street midway"
Last summer it was on Quincy street
near Fourth and the same conditions

least honest Young girls in particular

later show the effects of it in far diff

intended or the parents anticipated
It is rapidly becoming place of ruin
for wives and daug hters, and further, of
young men.
The police are aware of all this, but
they are powerless to prevent it, and the
army itself is hardly able to.
A member of the police force said to
JOURNAL reporter today: "The Saliva
ton Army of Topeka needs reforming.
Its meetings are getting to be the popu-
lar resort-the trystlng place of all
the vicious and disorderly characters of
the city. Men who allow their wives
and daughters to go there unattended
certainly do not know what they are do
ing. 1t is there designing men victim
ize young girls by gaining their conf

court docket is made up largely of Sal
walton Army cases or characters-not
members of the army visitors to its
meetings"
Hardly a night passes that some dis
orderly character is not arrested at or in
the vicinity of the Salvation Army tent.
Hardly q week passes that there is not
some disgraceful scene or two enacted
there by some drunken man or woman

The Enterprise, Kan. journal" Says
"Let the Newspapers Kick"
(From the Enterprise (Kan.) JournaL)
Kansas people have always taken a
great interest in the Santa Fe railroad
and have watched with more than an
average degree of anxiety for success,
the work of the committee, the efforts of
which have nearly perfected a plan for
the reorganization of the company and
the placing of the same on a solid finan-
cial basis
The rapidly developing Kansas of the
past thirty years practically built
the Santa Fe systems, while on the
other hand the Santa Fe has been a
most valuable factor in the growth Of
the state. The interest of Kansas has
been that of the Santa Fe and vice versa
But of the late few days the Kansans'
pride has been injured.
The Chicago stockholders, whose
power is felt in the reorganization, now
propose to give the system the name of
Chicago. Kansas g. California. There is
no necessity for this change Let the
people of Kansas, through the newspa-
pers of the state, make d most persistent
kick. The Atchison, Topeka g Santa
Fe is the best known railroad in the
world and will not permit blotting out
of that name
