says SO at once, and he generally gives
consultation free to all. We can now
readily understand why the leading cit
lzens of AtchisOn have given him such
glowing testimonials Our people have
now specialist in DR.. Walsh who is
line.
Mr.. A. c. Best, of Monrovia, is one of
our Oldest settlers here and is highly re-
spected by all He says: 4 have taken
treatment from DR.. Walsh for deafness
and ringing noises in the head. I can
truthtully say that my head is clearer
and my hearing is better, and I feel the
good effects of the treatment"
one would imagine that would take
at least a month or two before the
slightest Improvement would follow, but
not so For instance, take the case of
Mr.. A. Parker, living near MOnrovia,
who has been suffering from deafness
and ringing noises in the head for 20
years. In three days time his improve
ment was SO marked that not only he
noticed it, but his friends and neighbors
noticed it and commented upon it. Mr..
Murray of the Murray Bros firm, was
another to notice quick effects from
the treatment.
For Thirty Years He Caused His
Misfortune.
Mr.. Potarff is a farmer, aged So,
living near Valley Falls. For many
long years he has been deaf in both
ears. 1t has taken most of the pleasure
out of his life. Although he had tried
treatments for years without avail,
still he had hoped that he would some
day meet some physician who could
help him, and il was with this hope
that he consulted DR.. Walsh. After a
half hours thorough treatment, he dis
covered that the hearing had already
been partially restored to him, and he
could hear conversation when in a loud
tone. He was overcome with joy and
and he could hear even better.
DR.. Walsh does not mean to say that
all cases are durable. Not a day passes
that people are not turned from his
rooms with the sole consolation that
their affection is beyond human aid
and cure. But on the other hand he
cures many that other physicians could
not benefit. His great hospital exper-
fence enables him to tell at once
whether the case is durable or not.
The following, on examination, were
pronounced as incurable: John MOrten-
lee. ear disease; Mrs. J. Burr, eye dis
ease; Miss Eva Fay, eye disease.

PAINT YOUR HOUSE.
You Know 1t Needs It This Spring.


Hundreds of houses in Topeka have
needed painting for the last two or
three years but have been neglected be-
cause of hard times. The majority of
these will be painted in the next few
brighter and fresher because of it.
quently than once in four or five years
1t IS of the utmost Importance that the
materials used be first class. The life
and strength and the most important
ingredient of all paint is Inseed oil.
If the oil is right the paint will be right
and will last nearly twice as long as
II the oil is impure or adulterated.
Strictly pure linseed oil is of an am
Der or brOwnish color. Under no cir
cumstances is strictly pure oil either
red, reddish or wine cOlOred, or thick
and muddy appearing.
There is only one best in anything
and the best in linseed oil is that bear
ing the brand of the Topeka Linseed
Oil works. 1t is never red or wine col
ored, but always a, clear transparent
brown. The Topeka inseed oil is ham
died by every reputable dealer in To-
peka- 1t costs no more than poor oil.
Some cheap oil and some adulterated
oil is now offered by outside concerns,
and those who contemplate painting
will do well to have the assurance of
their dealer that they are getting To
peka" oil. The Topeka nnseed oil
is absolutely the best oil on the mar
ket and makes better paint than any
other Hnseed oil although it costs no
more than the cheaply made red or
wine cOlOred oil

ORDER FOR GUN CARRIAGES.
Cleveland Concern to Supply One
Third of Those Needed.

Cleveland. o., March 26.-Oficers of
the Walker company state that they
have received a telegram from General
F1agler, chief of the ordnance depart
ment, stating that their company had
been awarded the contract for one-third
of the gun carriages upon which bids
were invited some days ago.
This will necessitate the use of the
largest and heaviest machinery in the
work, and the employment of an addi-
tiOnal large force of men.
The intention is to put every man
possible on the work day and night,
and expedite the delivery as much as
possible. 1t is thought that part of the
order can be completed in four months
and that the entire contract can be fill
ed in eight months.

Trains Buried in Snow Drifts

London, March 26.-The heavy storms
continue throughout the United King
dom. Railroad trains are imbedded in
heavy snow drifts, people have been fro
zen to death, while traversing the mOors,
a hurricane has swept all the coast and
terrific seas have been running. Chan
mel service has been suspended.
There have been numberless wrecks
of small craft, the Ifeboats and the
rocket service have been busy, many
people have been rescued from drown
ing and the shipping is everywhere
seeking shelter. Much damage has
been done at the harbOrs, piers have
been swept away and the high tides are
flooding the streets. A Swedish brig
went ashore near GTimsby.
There have been numerous shipping
disasters all round the English coasts

Livernool: Wheat "a higher.

Liverpool: Wheat SD higher.
New York: Some of the best judges of
the stock market practically confess that
they are confused in their opinion as to
the immediate course of values. So many
contra dictOry influences are at work that
it is difficult to take a pronounced stand
on either the bull or the bear side A
considerable difference of opinion exists
on the question as to how the street will
receive the salient features of the report
of the Maine court of inquiry. In one
respect the report is favorable, in that it
is unable to place the responsibility at the
door of Spain. 1t may be doubted, how
ever. whether any intelligent bear opera
lions have been undertaken in the last
month on any suppositlon that official
connection with the outrage would be es-
tabliShed. On the other hand there nave
been many financial men who have con-
tended that the destruction of our battle
ship resulted from an internal explosion
and the findings of the court will be
surprise and disappointment to them.
Few brokers claim that the situation per
mfts the hope of more than a temporary
rally in values. The time money market
is in a state of suspense. Conservative
financial institutions are by no means
eager to lend money for three months at
6 per cent. In case of war such rate
would look low for the more experienced
bankers expect to see heavy Withdrawals
of money by the interior in that event;
Unrest is a the moment information and
there the disposition of capital is to act
with caution.

IN TRIM FOR FIGHTING.
All the Old Monitors to Be Put in
Condition

Philadelphia, March 26.-Acting I'M
der orders from the navy department
at Washington, two old monitors now
at League Island navy yard, the Cats
kill and the Nahant were placed in the
dry dock for repairs.
All of the monitors now at the navy
yard will be repainted and put in con-
dition for fighting.
Three shifts will be put to work on
the fighters so that the work will be
continued day and night. The men in
charge of the dock, expect rapid pro-
gress, for three years ago two of these
old fighting vessels were locked and
the bottoms are said to be in excellent
condition.
The cruiser Columbia will not sail for

GaIlatin.

New York. March 26.-It was an
nounced today at the office of the bu-
reau for the selection of vessels for the

of the foreign Office code in his posses

London Of the departure of the fotil-

Balfour, first lord of the treasury,
who is now in the foreign Office during
the absence of his uncle, Lord Sails

privately to Colonel Hay, who sent the
information to the state department.
This accounts for the fact that the

ceives much favorable comment.

The officials of the department, while

TRIBUTE TO sIGsBEE.
He Receives a Flower Ship on His
Departure From Havana

Havana, March 26.-Capt. Sigsbee re-
ceived a large flower ship today when
he sailed north on the OIivette with the
other officers of the Maine, bound for
home.
The flowers were from Consul General
Lee and the newspaper men here. He
was much affected.
La Lucia, in an editorial, says:
Capt. Sigsbee's request to allow him
to blow up the rest of the wreck was
most innocent, destroying it so that the
arbitrator would not be able to verify
any examination in the future and so
as to render it impossible to find out if
the explosion was from the inside or
from without"
