HOW WAR is DECLARED.
America Has Resorted TO Formally
But Once.

But once In the history of the United
States has there been formal declara-
ton OF war. Congress alone has the
power to declare war under the Constitu-
tioh' ana that act Is performed by statu-
tory enactment.
a limited declaration was made in 179S,
when France was operating against our
commerce and levying unjust dues
against our vessels in her ports This
was during the days of the height of the
power of Napoleon. Congress then

ated.
The war with Great Britain in 1912
affords the only instance of Il direct dec
laration. The aRgressons of Great Bri-
tain became uncomfortable and after a
protracted and bitter debate in both
houses, and after the most violent oppo
sition. Congress on the 18th of june,
1872, passed the following act, which was
ON the same day approved by President
James Madison:
"Be it enacted. etc, That war be, and
the same is hereby declared to exist he
tween the United Kingdom of Great Bri.
tain and Ireland and the dependencies
thereof, and the United States OF .imeri-
ca and their territories, and that the
President of the United States is hereby
authorized to use the whole land and ma
val force of the United States to carry
the same iuto effect, and to issue TO pri-
vate armed vessels Of The United States
commissions or letters of maruue and
general reprisal, in such form as he shall
think proper, and under the seal of the
United STATES, against the vessels, goods
and effects of the government of the said
United Kingdom of Great britain and
Ireland and the subjects thereof
President Madison the very next day,
june 10, 1912, issued proclamation in
which, after citing the act of Congress,
he said:
Now. therefore. T, James Madison,
President of United States of America,
do hereby proclaim the same % all whom
it may concern; and do specially eujoin
on all persons holding Offices, civil or mil
itar5 under the authority of the United
States that they be vigilant and Jealous in
discharging the dIties respectfully incident
thereto; and do moreover exhort all the
good people of the United States, as they
love their country, as they value the pre-.

Liver
Trouble

When the yellow flag Of quarantine
ishcisted over a dwelling it meansdisease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek issallow
and the clear white Of the eye is dyed
safron-there is danger. II is liver
trouble. The liver is one Of the most i'm
portant organs Of the body. On the
proper discharge Of it's functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs Of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.

MRS. CATCH ASKS DIVORCE.
Wife Of a Prominent Farmer Brings
Suit in Shawnee County.

0uAv Ah PAAN w hSN OOuhVy'
Topeka Capital "Mrs. Louise
Catch has sued her husband, William
II. Catch, for a divorce. The wife
tells long and sorrowful story in her
petition filed yesterday with the clerk
Of the district court. Mr.. and Mrs.
Catch were married Feb 10, 1897, at
Kansas City. Mr.. Catch is well-to-
do farmer living in Dickinson county.
After charging her husband with
cruelty, neglect and abuse, she states
hat she came to her husbands farm
in Dickinson county stranger to his
relatives who are numerous in that
section of the country. Instead Of
receiving her into the family, they
sighted her and circulated injurious
stories about her character. These
stories were heard and believed by
her husband, she says, and used by
him to wound and offend her feelings.
She asks for alimony and division
of the property owned by her husband
which consists Of valuable farm prop
erty in Dickinson county"
1t is, however, fair to Mr.. Catch to
state that there Is another side to the
matter which will probably appear at
the proper time. The allegations in
his wife's petition are simply her side
OF the case.

CANDIDATES PRESENT.
OF course the most prominent per-
son among the visitors was Mr.. Stan
ley. 1t was his first visit to the city
and will be his only one to the coun'
ty during the campaign.
Dickinson county and Abilene have
been honored by the visit Of W. E.
Stanley, the Republican candidate for
governor. He is making a clean
manly canvass and not a word has
been expressed against his private or
public record. He was born near
Danville, Knox county, o., Deem
Der 70, 1874. When he was about
two years Of age his father removed
to Hardin county, 0. He was raised
on farm near the little town of Pat
terson; attended public school at Pat
erson; attended college at the Ohio
Wesleyan University for about two
years, when he was compelled to 80
home on account Of his fathers poor
health.
He studied law in the office Balm
& King, Of Kenton, o., and Conover
& Chaighead, Dayton O;was admitted
to the bar in 1858; came to Kansas in
1870; settled inI Jefferson county, Kas.,
and was elected county attorney OF
that county in the fall of 1870; re-
NAMED there until September, 1872,
when he resigned his office and remov-
ed to Wichita, where he has since re-
sided.
He married Wichita lady, Miss
Emma Hill, in 1876 and has three
children living, two boys and one
girl He is strong in his domestic at
tachments and spends his evenings at
home with his family.
Since settling in Wichita he has
led very busy life. He was county
attorney of Sedgwick county three
terms the only person who ever held
the office three terms) and once repre-
sented his district in the legislature.
He has been successful in his profess
sion; owns his own office building and
has one Of the largest and best equip
ped law offices IN the State. He has
long been a member OF the Methodist
Episcopal church Of that city, and is
sup't Of one Of the largest Sunday
schools in the West. He is an admir-
er and friend Of young men and be.
lieves them brighter and more pro-
gressive than ever before, and that in
this, Kansas leads.
W. E. SANKEY'S father was a sue
cessful county doctor, living on a
farm near Patterson, where the most
Of his boyhood days were spent.
Mr.. Stanley inspires respect where
