A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for
the Asking.
Medical books are not always interesting
reading, especially 70 people enjoying good
health, but as a matter Of fact scarcely
one person in ten is perfectly healthy, and
even with such, sooner or later sickness
must come.
1t is also a well established truth that
nine-tenths of all diseases originate with
breaking down of the digestion. weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system, making it easy for disease to gain
a foothold.
Nobody need fear consumption. kidney
disease, liver trouble or weak heart and
nervous system as long as the digestion
is good, and the stomach able TO assimilate
plenty of wholesome food.
Stomach weakness shows itself in a
score OF ways and this little book de-
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to a cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form or stomach
trouble and do not know it. They ascribe
the headaches, the languid, nervousness.
insomnia, palpitation, constipation and
symptoms 10 sunni OtiCt cause
than the true one. Get your digestion on
the right track and the heart trouble, lung
trouble. liver disease or nervous debility
viii rapidly disappear.
This little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal of the indigestion and
It's accompanying annoyances.
It describes the symptoms of Acid Dys-
pepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow Dys-
pepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Catarrh of
Stomach and all affections of the digestive
organs in plain language easily under
stood and the cause removed.
It gives valuable suggestions as to diet,
and contains a table giving length of time
required to digest various articles of food
something every person with weak diges-
ton should know.
No price is asked, but simply send your
name and address plainly written on pos
| tai card to the F. A. Stuart Co, Marshall
Mich, requesting little book on Stomach
Diseases and it will be sent promptly by
return mail.

ONE HUNDRED EXAMINATIONS
Work Laid Out by the Civil Service
Commission.

The civil service commission has just
commenced its list of examinations for
the departmental service in all the states
and territories. There are to be examina-
tons in more than 125 cities. Six boards
of examiners viii travel over as many
routes, holding examinations daily. From
one TO three days viii be given in every
city that has been selected by the COM
mission. On account of there being an
excess of appointments from the District
of Columbia, there will be no examina-
lions for the clerks, messengers or watch
men positions. The examinations to be
held the coming spring commence March
16 and continue TO April p, inclusive. The
New York French Tailor System of Dress
Cutting has been adopted by the United
States government for the use of the In
dian schools. Those who expect to take
civil service examinations for seamstress
can obtain information by addressing the
inventor. Nine. Williams, Wichita, Kan.

CAVE OR HOSK|NS
Sedgwick County Has Two
Hired Physicians.
CAVE HIRED FOR A YEAR
Hoskins Claims Contract
From New Board.

DR.. NJ. W. Cave is county physician and
DR.. Hoskins claims to be. Last Septem-
Der the board of commissioners appointed
Dr.. Cave to be county physician Tor one
year to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of DR.. Then. The minutes
of the session show that by unanimous
vote of the board Cave was appointed
for one year and his salary for city and
county was to be $1,000 a year. Dr.
Cave assumed the duties of the office and
attended to the business. He rustled
around, protected the interests of the
county and was complimented even by
his political enemies for the manner IN
which he handled the Office. 1t is diff
ficuIt place TO fill. The expense to the
county through paupers can be made
enormous by a little indiscretion on the
part of the county physician.
No sooner had the new commissioner
taken his seat than he took up the prop
osition of DR.. Hoskins to do all the work
for both the city and county for $500 and
furnish his own medicines, and with the
aid of Commissioner SeaIock, appointed
lf. HOSkIIS- i NO ID d 4iloJOAAhS VI 49,
board and the work Of the two members
is said to be legal. but there is the con-
tract of the old board. DR.. Cave says
his bills for medicine often amount to
within five or ten dollars of as much as
the salary for the month. Hoskins says
he is the county physician, but there is
the previous contract
Deacon Wilson has refused to be party
to hiring Dr. Toskins. 1t is all he can do.
The. commissioners have a contract with
DR.. Cave and it stands. The other two
members have hired Hoskins and now the
board has commenced to ask where it
is at
Talk about the county physician matter
has led to taking a census on the political
status of the fellows who hold the ap-
pointive offices in the county under the
Populst administration and it is found
by good Pop authority that five-sixths are
not Pops. The issue viii now lead up TO
a proposition as to whether Sealock and
Howard will fire Cave or back down on
the contract with Hoskins. It's fight in
either case and the only man out is Dea-
con Wilson. DR.. Cave says he has not re-
signed and has not been asked to.

erty owners for their own convenience,
and that of the general public, built by
their own good money, and not for the
purpose of tripping up nor1-property own
ers, or with the expectation of injuring
anybody Upon the other hand it was
done at an expense for the convenience of
others. 1t seems a poor kind of justice
which turns this effort to help people into
a case of liability for damages. 1t some
times looks as if some people went about
in the dark hunting for holes in the side
walk When a sidewalk along vacant
property becomes rotten the city ought
to rip it off. turn it upside down, burn it
up or put up a danger sign to protect
itself against peripatetic seekers after
damages. It's queer that no solid citizens
or business men can ever find one of
these holes to fall through. There are
suits for thousands of dollars pending
against the city for that character of
damages. a woman who had caught her
| foot in a Topping board was awarded
/ 81, 700 damages the past week, and there
! are others.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS
One Cause of SIeepIessness That Can
re Readily Overcome.

Re Readily OEeTcOaHC-
Mr.. William Randschu, of 46th ST. Cot
ton Alley. Pittsburg, Pa, expresses hln-
self as follows regarding the new remedy
for that common and obstinate disease,
piles: az take pleasure in stating that
| was so afflicted with piles that for three
months 1 got no regular sleep; L became
completely Frustrated, the doctors did me
mn good; my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure
I purchased from my druggist three %
cent boxes and they completely cured me.
1 am once more at my work and but LOT
this excellent medicine 1 should be on my
back. 1 take great pleasure in writing
this letter because so many people are
sufferers from this trouble who like my
self did not know where to look LOT d
permanent, reliable safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
in the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession, as well as 10
thousands Of sufferers from piles, that 1t
is the safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered to the public, containing no
opiates or poisons of any kind, painless
and convenient to handle and being sold
by druggists at 80 cents and 81 per box,
Is within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded to other remedy for
years.
There is scarcely disease more agra
waiting and obstinate to cure than the var
ious forms of piles and it is common
practice to use ointments. salves and sim
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all OF these ineffec-
tuaI remedies and no one suffering with
any rectal trouble will make any mis-
take in giving the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as TO the nature of your
trouble send to the Pyramid Drug Co,
Marshall, Mich, for valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms of the dis
case and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure as it is the best known and
most popular remedy for piles and if you
ask him he can doubtless refer you to
many people in your vicinity who have
been cured completely by it.

Life Insurance

The New York Life Insurance company
have for their agents in this city Charles
Walker and Charles Luling. The company
has settled the imaginary difficulties
which disturbed the serenity of the SUI
perinteudent of insurance who has in a
business like way ceased to fight the
company. We present to our readers this
morning Il statement of the most remark
able business concern which no doubt is
entirely satisfactory to those who hold
insurance policies in that company. Ev-
erybody that can ought to insure their
lives for as large amounts as possible.
There does not seem to exist any doubt
but that the New York Life is good for
all the company contracts. So if you
contemplate taking insurance the ques-
ton of safe company need not enter so
far as this company is concerned.

EDetecfiyes.o

There are probably not less than q
score of men walking about New Or
leans today who are decorated under
their lapels with large tin stars bearing
the cabalistic word detective. They
are patrons of the various private agen-
cies of the north that advertise for
"shrewd men as operatives in all parts
OF the country" and supply the tin staI
and beautifully Autographed "certif-
icate" for the trifling suIn of So. The
wearers of their insignia labor under
the haliuoination, as rule, that they
are vested with some special right &c
collar their fellow men. The same agen'
cies do land Office business in wigs,
false boards and other disguises which
the amateur sleuth believes firmly are
part of the necessary equipment of the
profession.
Now and then one of these deluded
individuals, who are to be found in all
large cities, gets himself into trouble 10y
attempting to make an arrest; but, as a
rule, the mania is harmless and its vic

Consumption Positively Cured.

K. b. Greeve, merchant, of Chill
howie, Va, ,certifies that he had con-
sumption, was given up to die, sought
all medical treatment that money
could procure, triedi al cough. eme-
dies he could hear of, but got no re-
lief; spent many nights sitting up in
a chair; was induced to try DIR. King S
New Discovery, and was cured by use
of two bottles. For past three years
has been attending to business and
says DIR. Kings New Discovery is the
grandest remedy ever made, as it has
done so much for him and also for
others in his community. DIR. King s
New Discovery is guaranteed for
coughs, colds and consumption. 1t

Both Are Married.

The ordinary paragrapher in referring
to marriage nearly always says that
Mr. John Smith or Mr.. James Brown
was married to Miss Nellie Green OF
Miss Fanny White. 1t would lead one
to think that the man only was mar
ried, while the fact is both were mar
ried. The woman is as much married
as the man. The man was not simply
married to the woman. The woman and
the man were married, and the an
nouncement should be that Mr.. So-and-
go and Miss So-and-so were married.
Rev. DR.. Sunderland wrote series OF
articles on this subject some years age
which were published in this city. He
laid down the general principle that he
did not marry the man to the woman,
but that he married the man and the
woman, and married one just as much
as he did the other. He ediscountenanced
the issuing of wedding cards by parents
that their daughter was married to any
particular person, and said he did not
want to perform any marriage ceremony
in which any such announcement was
made.-Washingto Star.
