81 900 damages Old man Judge testified
on the stand that he was 50 years old and
he looked every day of it,
The son himself Is somewhere between
80 and 60. The law requires railroad com
panies to maintain the best and most
effective cattle guards at such points, and
the question before the jury was whether
the road had fully complied with the law
IN this respect, and whether Il was pOssI-
BILE to have kept these cattle out Of the
field. The jury was instructed to return a
sealed verdict, which will be opened this
morning. The plaintiff was represented
by w. NJ. Hayward, Esq, and the Defend
ant by Davis Freeman, ESQ

sell higgins and Joe Singleton, a quar-
tette Of Youthful thieves. appeared before

ued at 80 from the store of L. Adler

costs, or spend twelve mont his on the gang

on various other occasions on the same
charge and the sentence was a severe
one accordingly.

A Remarkable Medicine.

Thyroin V. ", substitute for pepsin ir
 the treatment of gastric and intestinal dis
 orders. Most of the pepsin sold on the
 market is nothing but gelatin and has nc
 therapeutic action at all. Thyroin V. "
 fills a long felt want in the treatment of
 various kinds of dyspepsia, where there is nausea, eructations, giddiness, insomnia (agrypma), diarrhoea and a milnicry of symptoms.
 Thyroin V. V. finds it's indications in many obscure diseases which have re- sisted all kinds of treatment. Weak vision and deafness should be amenable to its wonderful influence. All varieties of rheu- matism can now be successfully treated by it by inunction, and when taken internally. Hundreds of dollars may be saved by the poor sufferer, who is no longer obliged to wander to Hot Springs, having the remedy so near at hand and at small cost.
 Thyroin V. V. is the active constituent of the thyroid gland. What quinine is to cinchona bark, morphine to the crude opium that is Thyroin V. V. to the thy roid gland. Physicians in general are pre- scribing and recommending Thyroin V. V. for purifying the blood glandular enlarge ments, hemorrhage of uterus, goitre, in- tinism, lupus, loss of appetite, constipation, nerve and skin diseases, brain and kidney troubles, tumors, menstruation, impotence, insanity, myxoedema, loco motor ataxia, debility, rheumatism, for irn- proving the complexion, and many other troubles that flesh is heir to. Its curative powers are wonderful. It is an anti fat medicine, and may be employed suc- in all catarrhal diseases. Manu- factured only by Van Vleck & Minter, 221, 222. 223 Nelson bldg, Kansas City, Mo. For sale by all druggists or sent postpaid upon receipt of one dollar per bottle.

 POKER CAREER TO A CLOSE.
It Was a Game in Which the Devil DweIt in the Cards-Hands Were Running High and the Linn

Five men of better nerve never dealt cards than the five who sat playing poker the other night in one of those uptown clubroons that are so quietly kept as to be entirely unknown to the police and the general public. The game proved to De phenomenal.
 The play was high. The party had played together once @ week for a long time, ana the limit had always been $l at the begin ming of the evening, though occasionally it had gone as high as $10 before morning. ran remarkably w~fI, and by midnight the limit was ignored, if not forgotten.

At length the colonel spoke.
 ''The devil himself is playing with hls picture books tonight think" he said, with short laugh, as he lost two stacks of blues on seven full.
 It had been the doctors deal, and he looked up quickly. Gazing at the colonel he said:
 ssThe hands are certainly remarkable. never saw so many big ones at one sit ting" The words were simple, put there was a curious tone, half of question, in his voice. There had not been such nervous all men of exps rience and had seen trouble between friends resulting from careless words on many different occasions.

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
The Best and Cheapest Market for All Farming Machinery Is
 KauSas Cify

Tn this wide field that embraces all the implements, machinery and appliances used by the farmer and stock raiser Kan sas City takes the front rank as a whole sale center. The settlement and develop- ment of Western Kansas, Western Nebras- ka and Oklahoma brought immense ad- ditional trade to this city and gave an impetus to the agricultural implement bus mess which now enables the manufact- urers and jObbers here to successfully sup- ply the demands in territory that is con- sidered tributary to other large cities The settlers in the new country now being de- veloped by the Kansas City Pittsburg Sy Gulf railroad will find that Kansas City Implements cannot be beaten in price and sdaptabilfty to their needs. In many lo- caiitses irrigation has become @ practical necessity, and Kansas City stands ready to supply windmills, pumps, etc, furnish ing a quick, economical solution of the question. The windmill is becoming rec of,nized as q necessity on every well-man- aged farm. As a labor-saving device working without expense or attention, and without an equal in the economy of the farm.
 The gasoline engine has been now per- fected up to point that makes it the most desirable motive power for small Inanu- poses wherever moderate power at a nomi- nal expense is required. Thousands of them are now in use and giving satisfac- ton everywhere. They do not present as many danger elements as a gasoline stove. and they can be wisely adopted wherever a constant, steady engine is required for work

 And this agent does write a policy. He doesn't oo that. of course, until after you have answered certain questions.

You must answer inquiries as to whether or not your grandmother, your paternal grandfather and your great uncle ever were twins or the fathers or mothers of the same.
