THE GOVERNORS VISIT.
He Arrived Last Night, but Kansas
City Never So Much as Slipped

Mrs. Lon v. Stephens and some of her
women friends came up from Jefferson
City yesterday morning and spent the day
shopping here. Last evening at the Mid
land they were joined by Governor Steph-
ems and Private Secretary Moore. This
morning they will go to ST. Joseph to at
tend the marriage of DIR. Simcoe. one of
Governor Stephens close friends and po-
litical appointees.
Governor and Mrs. Stephens had as their
guest at dinner Mr.. E. +. Swinney, of the
First National bank. who is one of the
governors closest advisers. In justice to
Mr.. Swinney it must be said. however. that
many of the actions of the governor have
not been advised by him. After dinner
the gubernatorial party went to the Coates
opera house. where they occupied seats in
the second row from the rear.
Probably there never was a visit of the
chief executive of the state made to Kan
sas City where his coming occasioned so
little comment or attracted SO few people
had been asked to see him there. and a
few reporters. no one even inquired for
the governor and he was able to remain in
his room unmolested.

March. April, MAY.

Almost everyone has come to bel
lieve that March, April and May is 4
season that brings arrangements Of
the body dependent on blood im7
purities. This belief is an old one, is,
nearly universal, and has arisen, not
as the result of the teachings of the
medical fraternity, but has beeN
learned in the bitter school of experi7
ence. Depression of the nervous
system at the approach of spring is a
fertile source OF blood impurities, II
general lassitude, dull, heavy sensa1
tons, continual tired feelings, with
irregular appetite, and sometimes loss
of sleep.
Pe-ru-na meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly
adapted to all their varied peculiari1
ties. Pe-ru-na invigorates the SYST
tenn, rejuvenates the feelings, restores
the normal appetite and procures reg1
ular sleep. That tired feeling which
is the natural result of the depressing
effect of warm weather immediately
after the invigorating cold of winteT|
quickly disappears when Pe-ru-na 1

ing to its priceless benefit.
