DIR. Ta,mase and Dr. keeley.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage recently
said in an address: Il am nightly i'm
pressed with this whole Kelley cure. 1t
has upon it the stamp of the Lord God
Almighty. There will not be neigh
bornood liz the United States or in the
world that will not be blessed by it.
There are certain things that the grace
of God does not propose to do. We want
the grace of God; we want surgery; we
also want the Kelley cure"
DR.. Talmage is enthusiastic in his en-
dorse.nent of any movement which he
sees good, but recommends nothing
which he does not thoroughly under
stand. The success of the Kelley work
in Kansas demonstrates the fact that Dr..
Talmage is fully warranted in strongly
recommending it. DR.. Kelley has two
branch institutions in Kansas for the adj
ministration of his treatment, located at
Kansas City, Kan, and the corner of
Sixth and Clay streets, Topeka.

MORE ARRESTS.
Samuel Milton and His Wife Arrested fu
Mrs. Matson's Murder.

Samuel Milton and His Wife Arrested for
Mrs. Matson's Murder
Late Saturday afternoon the police ar
rested Samuel Milton and his wife on the
charge of being involved in the murder
of Mrs A. D. Matson. Milton ia the col
ored man who was arrested by the police
last week, but released after an investi-
cation The police have since received
enough information against Milton and
his wife to again warrant their arrest.
Milton was turned over to the sheriff aud
Mrs. Milton is locked up in the city
prison.
Frank Novels, the colored man first ar
rested for the murder, has told the
police that he knows who com
mitted the murder, and Milton
and his wife were two of the people i'm
plicated. He also says that there were
several other men concerned ia the crime
but that he had nothing to do with it.
His story is not believed by the sheriff. or
his deputies and they feel certain that
Novels committed the murder, probably
with the assistance of another man.
Novels has good reason for duplicating
Milton in the murder, for it was from
Milton that the sheriff secured the clue
leading to Novels arrest Milton told
the sheriff that the slung-shot found
in the cloth wrapped around the muir
dered woman's head belonged to Novels
and Mrs. Milton told the sheriff that she
had seen the weapon in Novels posses
sion. The sheriff has since found indis-
putable evidence that the slung shot did
really belong to Novels, and this is one
of the strong links in the chain of evil
dence duplicating Novels in the crime
Novels is an old hand at turning states
evidence. On two occasions when he
was arrested in Cowley county he wa,
released after he had 'given the other
fellows away" and the authorities are
confident that Novels will finally tell the
whole story.

ABOUT MR.. LOBDELL.
Who the Prospective Speaker of
the House Is.
he WAS BORN IN KANSAS

And He Is Kansas Product in Every
PArtfcular-~ketchO OF His Career.
Hon. Charles E Lobdell, who will to-
morrow shortly after noon be made
speaker of the house of representatives.,
is thoroughly Kansas product
He was born at Oaawatomie, Septem-
Der 81, 1851, and his parents were ardent
free state people. His father was Capt
D. J. Lobdell, who commanded company
Of the Fifteenth Kansas cavalry during
the civil war.
When Charles was 10 years old he re-
moved with his parents to Eldorado.
Butler county, where he was educated
On his twenty-hrst birthday he was sd-
mirted to the bar and few years later
was elected county attorney of Butler
county, position he filed with credit to
himself and the county.
In 1887 Mr.. Lobdell moved to Lane
county and has since that time resided
at Dighton and has been engaged in the
practice Of law.
In 1888 he was candidate for attorney
general before the Republican state con-
vention and came within a few votes of
capturing the nomination which went to
General L. B. Kellogg.
In 1898 he represented his county in
the legislature as d delegate and two
years ago he was one Of the most promi-
nent members of the famous Douglass
house and was chairman of the judiciary
committee.
Mr. Lobdell was married at Eldorado
in 1881 to Miss Anna Jones, the daugh-
ter of Rev. Paul F. Jones, a Methodist
preacher who now lives at Marion and
was two years ago the Populist candi-
date for the senate in the Twenty third
senatorial district. He was, however, de-
feated by Senator W. A. Morgan who
now represents that district
Mr. and Mrs. Lobdell have one child, a
daughter Maud, who is now eleven years
of age.
Mr. Lobdell is very highly gratified at
his success in the fight for the speaker
ship. The com bination against him,
which he overcame with such ease,
makes his victory more complete. He
has been especially pleased with the
way the solid delegation of twenty seven
members from the Seventh district stood
by him in his fight.
Two years ago Mr.. LobdelPs name was
judgeships of the proposed appellate
court, and if such a court shall be
formed this winter. his name will no
doubt be prominent in that connection
again.
Some of his friends already say that if
the state be reapportioned in congress
siorai districts this winter. and Lane
county is in the new Eighth district, the
speaker of the house may soon be q con-
gresham.

HE WORKED HENRY.
The Newsboy Was a Good Friend Long
as Henry,s Money lasted.

The NeWsboy Was Good Friend as Long
Henry's Money Lasted.
Henry Jones was sorry sight when
he was found by Police Officer Capron
last night in the Santa Fe region. He
felt just as bad as he looked.
Henry is a green country boy who
lives somewhere up in Nebraska. He
had been to Kansas City and started
home last night. At the depot he fell in
with the newsboy on the Rock Island
train, and the newsboy very kindly gave
him some good advice in regard to buy
ing a ticket to save money
"Get your ticket to Topeka" he said,
''and you can get to Nebraska cheaper
from there"
Henry took the advice and had 81 left
He was very good friend the news
boy was. Henry thought, and he was
lucky to fall in with such a nice fellow,
who knew all about the railroads.
On the way to Topeka the newsboy was
struck with bright idea. He would get
Henry a pass to Nebraska and Henry
could buy candy and cigars of him and
take a few novels home to his brothers
and sisters. Henry thought that would
be nice, too, so he bought
At Topeka the newsboy told Henry to
get off and wait for the next train and
his pass would be ready for him
Henry did 1t out NOBODY knew any
thing about his pass. That was strange
because the newsboy had told him dis
tinctly there would be one for him.
He was nearly twenty years old, but
he was about to cry when Officer Capron
found him.
He told his story and Capron headed a
subscription list with 90 cents he hap
pened to have and succeeded in raising
enough to get the boy started for his
Nebraska home on the early morning
train.
Henry declares now he will whip the
first train newsboy that speaks to him
In the meantime the Rock Island ought
to get rid of its embryo confidence man

Here is another suggestion
for the business man who adver-
tises or ought to advertise.
Advertising space is valuable
in proportion to the extent and
character of circulation OF the
advertising medium.
The Stars advertising rate
for a given space for three
months or more is less than s
cents per line, without changes;
for ten thousand lines to be
used within a year, changes at
will, the rate is u cents per line.
The Stars circulation is be-
lieved to be five times that of
any afternoon paper in Wash
ington-no other afternoon pa
Per makes public its circulation.
On this basis it is therefore easy
to calculate that a fair rate for
space in other afternoon papers
would be one cent a line where
The Star charges five and II
cents a line as against The Stars
charge of u cents.
