costly dormitory, was made last night.
The fire was discovered IN room S.,
occupied by Mccoy and Lehman, jun
iors. Fortunately it had not gained
much Roadway and was soon put out.
The two stundents assert that no fire

room that day, and. as they were alb

the blaze was kindled by. an ineendi-

George Taylor Learns a Lesson in To-
peka Neighborhood Etiquette.


An aged colored man drove his team
across one corner of a white woman's
lot over in North Topeka a day or two
ago and the explanations absorbed
more than an hour in police court
It was simply a race war which start
ed about a well.
Congressman Charles Curtis owns the
house Mrs. Huston lives in and the lot
which George Taylor drove over.
Charley Curtis father has the agen-
cy for the place and he was a witness
in the case.
Mr.. Curtis himself said that he was
about four parts Dutch and it took him
a long time to say anything so he slid
down comfortably in his chair till he
simply hung to the chair arms by his
armpits and put his feet in a friendly
way on Judge Ferry's desk that the
judge might have free uninterrupted
view of his generous and expansive
sole. There is no putting on style
about Old Jack Curtis who came here
before there was any Topeka.
J. r. McNary undertook to cross ex-
anime MI Curtis for Taylor but gave it
UP as a bad job.
Taylor was allowed to go with a rep
rimand and was very profuse in his
thanks.

potato, but the botanical name OF the
genus shows close relationship. AN ex-
animation Of the flowers shows they
much resemble those of the potato, be-
ing blush OF whitish in color. The
berry, commonly called the seed, also
resembles that formed on the potato.
The leaves have large prickles ON the
midrib and some of the larger lateral
ribs. They are also slightly hairy. The
stem is beset with numerous stout
prickles. Many of the related plants
of this genus are ANNALS, but
horse nettle is deep-rooted peren-
nial, it's roots often extending three
feet or more into the soil.
This fact makes 1t a very tenacious
weed, very difficult to exterminate. For
this reason the weed grows in dense
patches, which are carefully avoided
by stock in pastures. would advise
blowing the land, allowing none of the
leaves to appear. The plant should be

work for two seasons should remove 1t.

Wild barley has but little value as a

they are eaten and afford considerable

Constipation can be cured easily and GER
tsinly by the use Of DR.. PierCe's Pleasant
Pellets. They are perfectly simple-per-
fectly safe. They are not at all violent in
their action, and yet they are more certain
than many medicines which are so strong
that they put the system all out Of order.
The great advantage Of the pheasant Pei
let's" is that they cure permanently. You
don't have to keep on taking them. You
don't acquire ''pellet habit" as In using
other pills. Take them regularly for a
while and you are cured permanently
After that, take them only when you find
yourself suffering from indigestion. There
are many medicines offered for the same
purpose on which druggists make bigger
profit. For this reason, some druggists
would rather sell the other things. II
your own health is Of more Importance to
you than the druggists prosperity, you
win insist on having what you ask for.
