whom the sick man named, but was un-

Thorpe was notified and she went to see
the family.
When she arrived Samuel Flagelan was
sitting at the entrance to the depot,
where he had coughed so constantly that
he was unable to speak. He sick

Food was procured. Physicians said
that the man would undoubtedly die with

The man was not fit to travel, but in
this day of great Christian organizations
and vast charitable enterprises. no way
has yet been found to take care of sick
wanderers that are unloaded from one
community to another, each seeking to
shove the burden onto another. There
ought to be some law covering these
cases.
Christianity has so far shown its total
inability to reach them or to stop this
shipping of the sick, aged and imbecile
from one community to another. Instead
of discussing whether the prayer meeting
is ineffective or not, why wouldn't it
be humane idea to call a convention OF
church members to discuss what shall be
done to stop this outrage and disgrace
to Christian civilization? OF course To-
peka can't undertake to care for all the
F'miserables'' sent to her. She would soon
become a soft mark for every villain

United States; but some way should be
found to make each community take care
of its own sick and decrepit.

RABBITS EAT THE CROPS
New York Farmers Want Law Passed
for Their Examination.

Binghampton, N. Y, Sept. ga COM
rnittee of farmers called on Assemblyman
Upper on Saturday and requested that
he introduce bill in the next Legislature
for the determination of rabbits, which
are doing hundreds of dollars worth of
damage to the crops One of the farmers
in presenting the case said:
Il have had two acres of cabbage en-
tirely eaten up by these pests, and as the
game laws prevent my killing them, what
am 1 to do?"
do as 1 did" answered another. Il
just squirted a certain kind of liquid over
a lot of my cabbage plants, and in the
morning 1 counted 22S rabbits dead"
Assemblyman Topper thought that
they had right to protect their property
from rabbits or any other pests without
changing the law. This didn't satisfy
them, however, and before the committee
left they exacted promise from Mr.. Tup-
per that he would introduce just such a
bill as they wanted in case he was again
sent to the assembly.
1t is a fact that the number of rabbits
is increasing at a great rate, and unless
something is done to kill them off they
will do any amount of damage to the
crops.

All Honest Voters

Toledo, O., Sept. 2O-The Toledo Com
mercial, which has heretofore been rec
ognized as Senator Hannas official organ

changed front, and in Saturdays issue
published an editorial which explains how
Hanna expects to gain a seat in the SEN

the Commercial has created the greatest
political sensation. The editorial is as
follows and coming from paper which
is so closely allied with the Hanna people
is conceded to be correct:
''Hanna's paid agents are preparing to
rape the ballot box in the most unexpect>

wherever the people are the most honest

Te deums in thanksgiving for the es-
cape of President Diaz were sung in all

city by order of Archbishop Arlacon:
The government, by this course, has
not prejudiced the case, but has taken
precautions demanded by popular sent

charge of unarmed officials. High off1-
Gals of the federal government have to
some extent shared the popular feeling
and it is reported that at the regular
cabinet meeting Friday several minis
tiers urged that the conduct of the po-
lice be thoroughly investigated. A
communication was accordingly sent 10

general in which the latter was inform

prisoner, they will undoubtedly be Sc

in this affair to the members of the po-

More than that is far from demonstra-
ted. But the government is determined
to how the world that lynching has not
been naturalized here.

Money in Los ng Scheme.
New York, Sept. 20.-Another CONNER
cial bubble has burst, in which were in
John Jacob Astor and DR.. W. Seward
Webb. Incidentally, a system of electri-
cal propulsion, which it was thought
would revolutionize marine engineering,
has failed to prove success.
This enterprise, in which Vanderbilt
and Aston money was invested, was the
Samuels Dynamic Accumulation Com
pany with offices and workshops here.
The company manufactured a storage
battery cell by Zack Samuels. This cell
was expected to solve the problem of
electrical traction both on sea and land
because it was thought it could do twice
the work of any other battery. while
weighing and costing only one-fourth as
much. The Samuels cell was not lead
eulphuric acid, but a composite cell, the
composition of which was Mr.. Samuels'
secret.
The first test was made on Mr.. .Astor's
small yacht Progress. DIR. Webb had a
buffet car equipped with 60 cells, to sup
ply incandescent lights for the round trip.
and arranged to have his car Elsmere
and his locomotive Nehasene lighted by
the same system.
Then came the experiments. They were
not successful. The system did not prove
effective on a large scale. The result
was that DR.. Webb and Mr. Aston have
withdrawn from the company.

BANK SUSPENDS.
First National of Benton HarborFails
to Open it's Doors.

Benton Harder, Mich, Sept. 20.-The
First National bank of this city did not
open for business Saturday, and Bank
Examiner George B. Caldwell of De-
troit is in charge.
About 100000 is due depositors, and it
is generally believed that rs per cent
will be about as much as will be real
lied.
The suspension is not wholly sur
prise.
Deposits have decreased about $50, 900
the past three months. The banks capt.
tai stock was $50 900, with surplus of
SAC, 900. James Bailey, cashier, makes
no statement, excepting that in his opin-
ion depositors will be paid in full.
There is a crowd of anxious deposit
ors about the door. They attribute the
bank embarrassment chiefly to bad
loans.
Bank Examiner Caldwell says the
failure was due to the speculations OF
Cashier James Bailey, whose unwise
investments and dangerous speculative
tendencies led to his removal last
June"
The bank is also burdened with a
large amount of real estate, taken as
security, which is not available for
paying depositors.
A thorough investigation will be
made.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia

This may read as though we were
putting it little strong because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic
form is incurable, or practically so But
we nave long since shown that Dyspep-
STA is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspepties is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
trenes or else deluging the already
overburdened stomach with ''bitters,' -
after dinner pills." etc, which invari-
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse
w nat the stomach wants is rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested.
recuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained?
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy, but it's sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to its merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
OF good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digeSted, no matter how bad Your dys-
pepS1a may De, because as before stat
ed, the tablets will digest the food even
if the stomach is wholly inactive. To il
lustrate our meaning plainly, if you
take 1880 grains of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in a temperature
of IS degrees, and put with il one of
Stuart's Dyspe psia Tablets it will gest
the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as
if the meat was enclosed within the
stomach
The stomach may be ever so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and at the same
time radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia
will be made because the much abused
stomach viii be given, to some extent, a
much needed rest Your druggist will
tell you that of the many remedies ad-
vertised to- cure dyspepsia none of them
has given so complete and general sat
isfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Table s
and not least in Importance in these
hard times is the fact that they are also
the cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

says that the grain dealers there have de-

The other day, when the Chicago prices
changed very rapidly no less than 700

elapsed before they were forwarded to be
of any service to the buyers.
1t is stated that the grain dealers of
Manitoba have formed a combine by
which the dealers, millers and grain syn

Been Down Town Since the War.
Charleston, Sept. 2O.-There is an old

squares of King street and near the Rut>

Another remarkable thing about this
old lady is t,lat she has never seen the
electric cars and has no desire to see
one, so she says. She was asked by a
friend of hers the other day to join her in
a trolley ride but she declined with
thanks, saying she did not care to ride
on anything that was propelled by I'M
seen power. Law, me-" said she, when
asked to take trolley ride, do you think
I'd get on one of those cars that run by
electricity? 1 could not be induced to
take one of those electric rides. You are
fooling with something you can't see."
AS before stated, the old lady has not
been on the battery since before the war.
Notwithstanding repeated efforts have
been made by friends and relatives to get
her to visit this beautiful place; all ap>
peals fell on deaf ears. She would reply
when asked: Thank you, i do not care
to CO."
Other than this excuse was ever Of
fered. Oftentimes she has been asked by
her friends why she did not care to go
on the Battery why she had not been
there since the war, but never reason
did she give. The old lady is a genu>
inc rebel, and says she has never sur,
rendered and never will. In her house is
a large Confederate flag suspended from
the wall in her room, and is said she sits
under it hours at time and knits stock
