It certainly Is disheartening to pa
tent to find that the treatment he is
given for disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself Such is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches Of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
full and disastrous effects of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-
TEN of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one eff
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-colored
splotches are but indications of worse
results to follow No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that suppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to stiffness, followed by the racking
pains of rheumatism. The form grad.

Your Physical Condition.

Needs attention at this time. II you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and with
out doubt there has been too much
oyer-work or strain on brain and
body. The course of treatment for
such a condition is plain and simple.
The blood must first be purified so
that the nervous system, and in fact
all the organs will be fed upon pure
blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best
blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength
lmparting medicine is Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep
and general debility all vanish when
Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken; in word, health and happi-

Frank Webel Insane.

About noon last Friday Frank
Webel, a German living three miles
west Of the city on the Mayfeld road,
drove into town and stopped at Henry
COnrad's restaurant. He approached
Mr.. Conrad and said in a cautious
tone, ''rll be a dead man today" Mr..
Conrad, knowing something was
wrong with him, brought him a cup
of coffee and succeeded in Quieting
his fears. A man then came in and
sat down at the lunch counter, upon
which Mr.. Webel went to the door
and called the man to him. What
do you want to kill me for" he asked;
What have done to you that you
should always be trying to kill me.
Just at this time another man came
in and on Mr.. Webel's seeing him, he
went out Of the door at breakneck
speed, running his level best toward
the court house. The fifteen-year-old
son Of Mr.. Webel was in the wagon at
the door and started In pursuit. As
soon as the wagon caught up with
him, Mr.. Webel sprang In and, apply
lug the whip to the horses, soon had
them going at a terrible rate. When
they got near Peck he got out of the
wagon and hid in the grass, saying
that "men with big caps" were after
him to kill him. He soon clambered
back into the wagon and started
again at the same rate Of speed, never
stopping until they reached Wichita.
He drove from Wellington to Wichita
in about five hours, going immedi-
stely to the sheriff's Office there.
Parties at Peck had telephoned the
sheriff to look out for a crazy man,
and the sheriff was ready to receive
him when he arrived. A little before
I o'clock Friday night the sheriff Of
Sedgwlck county telephoned to Dep
uty Sheriff Shaver, asking If an
Insane man named Webel was wanted
here. Upon receiving the reply that
he was, the Wichita sheriff said they
had him imprisoned there. This was
the first intelligence the officers had
received as to his whereabouts, al
though they had been after him all
Friday afternoon. Sheriff Heskett
took the Santa Fe Friday night for
Wichita by way Of Winfield, and
brought his prisoner down with him,
next morning at 10 o'clock.
When captured both Weber and his
boy were found to be armed with re-
yolvers, though Weber is very reace-
able and says he only carried them to
defend himself. He was tried by jury
in the probate court and found to be
insane Application has been made
for his commitment to the asylum
and be will be sent as soon as permits
lslon is received.
