AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Five Companies of the Il. n. G.
Mustered Out.
General Ineffieiency is the Cause
Assigned by the Board.
Company A at Kansas City, Composed
of Veterans of the War, is Includ-
ed in the Number.

The state military board which as
sembled at the office of the adjutant
general yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
mustered out five companies of the
Kansas National Guard, among them
being Company A, at Kansas City,
which is composed of veterans of the
late war and has been in existence for
three or four years.
The other companies which were or
dered mustered out of the service are
clyde, Concordia. Clay Center and Sa-
lima.
The principal reason for this action on
the part of the board is the general in
efficiency of the companies as shown by
the inspection which has just been com
pleted.
At Kansas City there will be an indig-
nant protest against the mastering out
of the company of veterans. When the
annual inspection was made but a few
coats and trousers and but little of the
ACCOMPLISHMENTS could be found in the
armOry. The members could be seen
on the streets wearing their uniforms
and the equipment which was not ac-
counted for was generally supposed to
be at the homes of the members of the
company where it had been taken to
save trouble neceSSitated by returning
to the armOTy.
The arms and other supplies and
equipments will be called in and the end
of the company officially declared
through a general order which will be
issued from the war department within
a few days.
General inefficiency and q lack of pro-
per discipline and care of property are
the causes which led up to the muster
ing out of the remaining companies
The action of the board yesterday in
dictates that there will be a general clean
ing out of worthless companies of the
X n G.. and unless first-class compan-.
les can be maintained there will be none
in the state.
The POpulists contemplated the abOli-
ton of the entire standing army of the
state as found in the K. n. G. at the
last session of the legislature, but like
other promised reforms the idea was
lost somewhere in the excitement of
creating new offices and repeating laws.
Governor Leedy appointed but one
brigadier general believing that the
necessities of the service demanded no
more although he has power to name
three who by virtue of their position
are members of the state military board
Under the present administration, the
military board viii have but three mem
bers-
Major General Charles NcCrum of
Garnett is chairman of the board. The
remaining mem bers are Brigadier Gen
eral c. J. Carver of Wellington and Ad-
jutant General Hiram Allen, the latter
being secretary
The board Is in session today cOnsid-
ering routine business but has not yet
decided where new companies will be
located to take the places of those
which have been mustered out.

Rather Notifying Position for the
Administrations Board of Health.

Despite the protests which were filed
before him, Governor Leedy appointed
DIT. A NJ. Edison of Topeka and DR..
J. W. Jenny of Salina as members of
the state board of health.
DR. Edison came to Topeka from En-
poria two years ago and was active in
the mana cement of the Topeka silver
headquarters. He was found guilty in
the federal court last week Of fraudu-
lent use of the mails in conducting
so-called investment company and IN
less the decision of the lower court
shall be reversed when the case is ap-
pealed he stands in imminent danger
Of being sent to the penitentiary-
Following his conviction an effort
was made by the medical profession to
keep Edison off the board, but it was
unsuccessful. The commission has
been issued to him despite the indig
nant protests which were filed with the
governor
The appointment of Dr. Jenny Will
create a disturbance among the Saline
county Populists- One of the men who
came from Salina to appear before the
governor in opposition to JennyS ap-
pointment said:
Jenny is not the right kind of a man
TO nut on the board. While on the
board under dwellings adminiStra ton
he vas one of the POpulists who, with
the secretary of the board, DR.. H. A.
Dykes, entered into a conspiracy to
waste the $4,000 appropriated by the
legislature to repeI an invasion of
within the borders of the United States.
There was no sign of cholera any
WHERE in this country, but a few mem
bers of the board conspired to get UP
cholera scare and get hold of the
money. However, interference and
discovery Of the plot blocked the
game"
When these charges were placed be
fore the governor he hung up the ap-
pointment OF Edison as well as Jenny
for investigation. The board of health
is now composed of the following mem
bers:
Drs. F. NJ. Trivett. Eskridge; Fred
Cole Garden City: H. Z. Gill Pitts
burg: q. Bohrer. Chase: z. NJ. Hoover
Halstead, who holds over; T. W. Plehn,

The board doesn't amount to a hill of
beans. 1t was never known to be Of
any account to the state in any partic-
ular The only thing It accomplishes
IS throwing away $4,000 for the score

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
piciOn attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overfows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
form Of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS the remedy In
question was the result Of many years
E6SedTCu DIS W WudI COhpludtiOn
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, 1t
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such remedy at
once. A request to Fl. G. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
it trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
| formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.
Odds can afford to give away his dis,
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

A MAN OF RARE NERVE.
Some Brave Deeds Performed by
Senator Pettus.
Notable Incidents In the Career of the
New United States Senator from
Alabama-Good War Rem
iniscence.

E. w. Pettus, who succeeds James
L. Pugh as senator from Alabama, will
be one Of the most striking characters
in congress.
His life, which covers period of near
" foursoore years, has bristled with
some of the most thrilling incidents in
southern history.
When the south was undergoing the
ordeal Of Reconstruction he was leader,
and, by his wisdom and conservatism,
no less than his heroism, he averted
much trouble between the whites and
blacks In the little town of Selma,
whore he lived and practiced law. He
was loved both by the whites and blacks,
and could sway them by his eloquence.
I never knew q man who was such a
master of men. One of the best eX-
amples of his power was shown in 1869.
Selma was then a town of 5000 peo-
pie, more than half of whom were ne
groes. In fact, the republicans, car
pet-baggers and negroes controlled the
municipal government. The town mar
shall was negro, as were all the mem
bers of the police force. Not month
passed without some serious clash be-
tween the two races, the feeling con-
tinually becoming more intense. Dur
ing these troubles Gen. Pettus acted the
role of peacemaker.
During an alteration which grew out
of these constant differences a young
friend of the generals shot negro,
who died where he fell in the streets
of Selma. In less than five minutes
mob of 500 negroes, breathing venge-
ance, modified to lynch the slayer.
Excitement ran high. Feeling was at
that pitch where tho least overt act
on the part Of anyone would have pre-
cipitated a riot, bloody and disastrous,
The slayer secreted himself in a saloon
near the crowd. Gen. Pettus heard OF
his friends danger and Immediately
went to him. Both got into a covered
carriage in tho rear of the saloon. The

of this ever-recuring tragedy. No woman
should enter the marriage state without
some knowledge of the physiology Of the
female organs of reproduction, and Of the
necessity of keeping them always healthy
and vigorous. Ignorance ON these points
digs graves for thousands Of happy brides

There is sure and speedy remedy at hand
The most marvellous medicine ever dis.

Taken during the expectant period it in

wish to know all about the "Favorite Pre-

Constipation if neglected will lead the

which it deposits in every organ and tissue

They cure permanently, and are not mere
