Lingenfelter's New Job,

Senator W. ]. Lingenfelter OF this
city, has been appointed superinten-
dent of the Hutchinson reformatOry,
TO succeed Orie Morse, resigned. The
news Of his appointment was a glad
surprise TO his many friends here. 1t
came about rather Unexpectedly, as
told in Tuesdays Hutchinson News:
when Mr.. JIG. 0. Morse resigned
AS superintendent OF the reformatOry
month ago he asked that his resig.
nation take effect May II. Captain
Arnold was selected to take his place
and came and looked over the instltu-
tiOn. He left a week ago and the
board Of managers have been expect
ing his return ever since. Mr.. Morse,
having taken the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the Water, Light and Power company,
was anxious tO be relieved, and the
board finally decided to appoint one
Of its own members, Mr.. W.. Lingen-
felter, acting superintendent, and he
is now in charge.
ut is understood that Captain Ar
mold objects to accepting the place
unless he has some say about his SUBJ
Ordinates and kicks on the governor
acting as superintendent Of an lnstl-
tuition he knows nothing about.
There Is some uncertainty about his
acceptance as the governor wishes to
name all the officers.
"Mr. Lingenfelter iG well posted on
the needs OF the institution and 1t
might be as well to let him take
charge permanently. Such a solution
Of the difficulty would be very popular
with the friends OF the institution"

Seems as If all the things we like
disagree with US, and all the things
we don't like, agree with US. Dys-
pepsia turks in most of the good things
we eat, and indigestion follows the
qualification Of appetite. OF course,
it isn't Natures fault. Nature does
the best she can, and if a man will
only help her little bit at the right
time, he mag eat what he likes and as
much as he likes. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are for people who
are troubled with indigestion. Par
ticularly for those in whom it mani
tests itselfin the form of constipation.
The "Pellets" are quick and easy in
their action. They are in perfect
harmony with Nature. They effect a
permanent cure. You need take them
regularly only little while. After
that, use them occasionally when you
need them-when you have eaten
anything that disagrees with you.
They nay be taken just as freely as
you would take water or any other
necessity OF life. Once used they are
always in favor.
