It Will Make Topeka Mad and May
Stir Her to Work Faster

FROM the MlCnlIa Eagle
The Kansas City and Topeka papers
are, respectively, working the railroads
for money to build auditoriums in those
that she may lose the coming state con-
ventiOns for the want of an auditorium
or other place in which to hold them.
These two towns have so long depended
upon the railroads and upon outsiders to
take care of their respective public en-
terprises that should they be compelled
to fall back upon their own resources the
fla t@Out' would prove sensational. Leg
islatures, courts and conventions, supple
mented by railroad official faVOritiSm, con-
stitutes Topeka's regular diet while
freight rate determinations, dinerent1alS

the humilia ton of the thing, the larger
towns and county seats of Kansas might
make contributions for the completion OF
the Topeka auditorium, which now only
lacks the foundation and superstructure
of being finished, the most of the wind
work having been accomplished.

MAY NOT BE TRI1E

Victoria, B. c., March Steamer
Tees has arrived from WrangeI and
Northern British Columbia points, hav-
ing passed Shelter Point during a thick
fog. She saw nothing of the wreck sup
posed to be the Bessie K. Reported loss
of Bessie K. cannot be confirmed here
Seattle, Wn., March There seems
to be no reasonable ground for thinking
that the schooner Bessie K, from San
Francisco to Skaguay, is a wreck off
Vancouver Islands, as was reported on
Saturday last. Although she is long
overdue, it is attributed to her gasoline
engine, which has caused delay before
Capt. Roberts of the steamer Farallon
says he passed on Thursday afternoon
between Fogg Rocks and Bella Bella,
a little schooner with a loud, putting
gasoline engine. He thought it was the
Bessie K. She was bound north and
did not appear to be in trouble. Capt
Anderson of the Laxma said the cap
tain of the National City told him that
he had seen the Bessie K. in Seymour
Narrows some 10 days ago, going back
with the tide. Thursday she had not
arrived at Skaguay. 1t is believed along
the water front that she will get
through all right if given time enough

WAR EXISTS.
Though Officially Peace Reigns Over
Costa Rica and nicaragua.

New York, March 7.-Advices from
San Jose. Costa Rica, via Punta Are
mas, to the Herald, say report has
reached the capital that an encounter
has taken place on the frontier in the
neighborhood of Liberia between Nicar-
aqua and Costa Rica troops. The result
is not known.
The letter states that President Ra-
faeI Iglesias of Costa Rica has gone to
the field in person and that Gen. Aureto
Estrada will probably be commander OF
the Nicaraguan army.
While these advices are not confirm
ed, it is regarded as not improbable
that the two countries have plunged in
to a conflict already without having
made a formal declaration.

"Iam cured of the grip but I do not fee


we'll"
This expression is heard constantly. Per-
haps you, reader have heard it and possibly
you have made it yourself 1t is % sad fact,
but a fact none the less, that while the grip
is bad enough and depressing enough when
in its acute FORM it is often worse when it
settles in some part OF the body and con
tinucs to destroy the health and ruin the life.
Doctor Lombard, in speaking on this subject
recently said
1T is a well-known fact, admitted by all
doctors, that grip does settle in the body and
bring distressing effects long after it is ap-
parently cured. But the doctors do not al
ways say just where it usually settles 1t
should he clearly understood, then. that the
spots which grip commonly selects are the
kidneys and urinary organs. 1t is quite
natural that it should do 50 for these are the
very organs that are ovcrworkcd in trying to
drive the grip out of the system and nat
urally, be ny oVCrwUIkcd, they are weak
eued aud become AN easy prey for disease"
when these delicate but most important
organs are attacked in their weakened con-
dition, they cannot throw the grip from the
system without hep-good help-strong
help-rellabc help. But YOU ask, where
ton is not an easy one. Many things will
help the Kidneys urinary and female organs
temporarily, but it is not temporary help
that they need. They require something

That remedy is Warmers Safe Cure. 1t was

grip in Europe, and it has been the only
remedy that has successfully removed its
aiter-eilects in America. Rev. Dr. Rankin,
President of Howard University, Washing
