Winfield to Have a Pleasure and
Health Resort
To Convert 40 Acres Into a
City Park
WITH MINERAL WELLS
Conflict of Judicial Authority
in Mcpherson Courts.
Blue Rapids Jails Men and Wo-
men JOintiStS.

Winfield. March 12.-This city is going
to have q city park, health and pleasure
resort and sanitarium. all in one, if the
plans now proposed do not fail.
The scheme is to make an artificial park
on the LOOMS farm in the southeast part
OF the city The idea is to convert about
forty acres into a park and inside the
park TO arrange for bathing, boating
skating. etc with base ball and foot ball
grounds. bicycle track and similar sports
BY going about 800 feet salt water can be
procured in abundance and it is the idea
to procure this for the bathing. Physi-
clans say this water is identically the
same as the salt water at Geuda Springs
and probably comes from the same source
Another idea in its favor is the fact that
Winfield has several specialists. both
physicians and surgeons, who now. with
the city's poor facilities for the care of
the sick have patients here for trea tment
from all parts of the country, and il is
figured with medicinal water baths and
other conyeniences which could be ar
ranged in connection with the park. that
Winfield would become a popular health
resort.

WAS HIS NAME eUANTRELL.
Something that May Prove Histori
callY Interesting.
TFrom the Lawrence World.l

Billy Hughes. one of the old timers
in this county. called at the World Of
fee last night to correct history. He
says that the name OF the bandit whose
nefariOuS work shocked the civilized
world was not QuantreI1 but Charles
history. He said. There was no ne
cessity for Charlie Hart to change his
name when he came here. He was a
young school teacher, entirely innocent
Of any wrong doing. After he was
here a time he engaged in what was
known as niger stealing Hart was
the head of a gang who stole slaves
Kansas until a reward was offered
when they would be returned Mr..
Hughes says the story of the ambush
over in Missouri was without fOunda-
ton, in fact 1t was entirely an after
thought
Regarding the name of Quantrell Mr..
Hughes tells the strangest story OF all
before. At that time the country was
sparcely settled and the only amuse-
ment was in dancing. The Quadrille
was the most popular. After 4 time
whenever one man made ii particular
lively for another it was said that he
made the other dance quadrille. The
word proved a popular one and when
the war broke out and guerilla bands
were abroad in the land they made the
free state people dance quadrilleS."
From this Mr.. Hughes says QuantreIl
was an easy evolution. The name was
originally conferred upon him as the
create man in the line of making ii
when he organized band they did
quadrilling and the leader took the
name of Quantren Mr.. Hughes says
the name was clearly an evolution.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make q Test OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian.
RPOIis Gentleman.

NO trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerv-
es are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies. the real seat of
tie mischief is lost sight of: the storl-
ach is the organ TO be 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 in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is ire
gular; in others the kidneys are effected:
IN others the bowels are cons ipated
with headaches. still others are rrO11b-
LED with loss of flesh and appetite with
accumulation OF gas, sour Tisings and
heart burn.
Mr. A w Sharper of No. 81 Prosnect
St, Indianapolis. Ind. writes as follows.
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding
the new and valuable medicine Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets have been . suf-
ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the

ent medicines and other remedies with

being a bOokkeeper with little physical
exercise but I am glad TO state that the

cles, for 1 have gained in flesh. sleep

SMOKES A DUKES PIPE
Clerk Horton of Anthony Owns q Briar
Root Once Owned by Wellington.

Anthony. March 11-City Clerk Hor-
ton smokes a pipe that is remarkable
for two things. 1t is remarka bly, strong
and has history that Identifies it more
prominently than the ordinary pipe you
meet on the streets of Anthony.
When Bob Gibbon first came to An
thony from England he met Mr.. Hor-
ton and liked him and as a mark of his
admiration presented him with the pipe
he smokes. The pipe was once the pro-
perty of the Duke of Wellington and in
the early part of the present century he
gave the pipe to Mr.. Gibbons grand
father who in turn presented it to his
son and so on until it is found in Com
rade Horizons possession. The pipe is
an ordinary one of the meerschaum
variety and is yet sweet considering its
age.
