Goycrnor-eIect Asks Advice About
Police Commissioners-Imm
nte Action Probable.

Z. F. Swinney, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank, has gone to jefferson City in
response to a telegram from Governor-elect
Lon Stephens, requesting his immediate
presence in the capital on important busi-
ness. The message was received Friday
afternoon, but it was impossible for Mr..
Swiney to go until yesterday evening. 1t
is given out that the occasion of his visit
to confer on the police situation in
Kansas City. 1t is related in this con-
nection that during his recent visit here
MIR. Stephens said to Mr.. Swiney that he
would not name single appointee in Kan
saS City who was Objectionable to him,
and it is known that Mr.. Swinney has
said he thought Wash Adams and Will
Scarritt would make good police commits
sioners and felt like recommending them
Inasmuch as the nominations of Fyke and
johnson are hung up and may never be
gotten out of the slough, it is probable
that Mr.. Stephens is anxious to get his
slate finally prepared, so to be able to
move at once and bring the matter to an
end without allowing the row to grow any
further.

No trouble is more common or more mis-

looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not i'll the stomach so much
as I'm nearly every other organ: In some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregular;
I'm others the kidneys are affected; in 9TH

aches; still others are troubled with loss
of flesh and appetite, with accumulation Of

the Dreyer failure: THE depositors in the

SOME BAD BILLS.
Have been Passed in Various Local
StOres-FederaI officers Are In
vcstignting the Matter.

During the past week there have been
about a dozen bad bills passed at various
stores in the eastern portion of the city.
especially at the stores near the terminus
of the Fifteenth street cable. They are all
evidently put out by the same persons, as
they are all 50 silver certificates raised to
s.. The work is done fairly well, but the
fraud is evident at close inspection. as the
acid used in removing the figures has tar
nished the bills and made the pen work
somewhat blurred and dirty in its appear
ance.
Several of the bills have been turned over
10 the federal officers. 1t is probably the
work of the same gang that has operated
recently about Paola, Kas., and topeka,
where similar bills have been put out.
