1t is stated that man won and lost
So. 100000 on horse races. For twenty
years he kept at it. and most of the
time he was successful. At last fortune
turned against him, and to-day he is
penness. Gambling is good deal like
neglect of health 1t can be kept up a
long time, but in the end it is disastrous.
Fortunes are harder TO restore than
health. The first step toward winning
back lost health is tc restore the diges-
tive organs to Il normal condition. For
this purpose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

dy is II specific for Indigestion, dyspep-
STA, fever, ague, nervousness and sleep

LETTER FROM LITTLE.
Says There viii be an Extra
Session.
SENATE NOW FIXED
Thanks Jenney For Lining up
Senator ReSer,

Still the question is asked. VIII there be
an extra session OF the legislature this
winter? Some OF the Topeka and Kansas
City newspaper fellows say not. But
few days since a gentleman now in this
city read an autograph letter signed by
Little that indicates that there will be
soap-making in Topeka this winter or
early in the spring. The letter was ad-
dressed TO Dr.. J. ". Jenney Of Salina,
who is the mouthpieee of Pyramid Little.
In this letter Little expressed his thanks
10 Jenney for having secured the pledge
OF Senator Reaser of Saline county, to
measures not specified. He added; I'VE
now have a majority of the senate pledS-
ed and must confiue our efforts 10 the
house. and have reason to believe that
we will be successful" There was the
caution to be discreet, but in some man
ner this letter came into the hands OF a
we'll known Republican.
There are a few oracles who claim 10
have the ear of Leedy. but cool, cautious.
calculating Little holds his hands over
both his ears and with a comprehensive
brain maps out gubernatorial action AT
least. so say those who know both.
VIII there be I special session of the
legislature?
1t looks as though there will be.

JACKSON IS CAUGHT
Charged With Stealing $3.50
From John Dalton.
ARRESTED IN INDIANA
Mr.. Dalton Lost His Farm by
Being Robbed.

Yesterday afternoon Constable Tom
jVoss left for Newcastle, Indiana, to get
Charles Jackson. who, it is alleged, stole
$3.50 from Mr.. John Dalton on the night
of August IL. 1897.
Mr.. Dalton lives about thirteen miles
northeast of this city, where he is en-
gagged in farming. Early last summer
Jackson came into the neighborhood and
obtained employment from Mr.. Dalton.
Later in the season he worked for several
others. He however, staid at Mr.. Dali
tons house most of the time. Mr.. Dalton
is a bachelor and employs a man and his
wife to assist him in running his place.
On the night that the robbery is reported
to have occurred Jackson staid ali night
at his cousins, who lives five miles north
of the Dalton farm. The officers claim
that he got up and dressed himself that
night about u o'clock and was seen when
within two miles of the Dalton place. The
next day Mr.. Dalton's dog was at jack
sons cousins house and the officers think
the animal followed him there after he
had committed the robbery.
Mr.. Dalton had a mortgage on his farm
OF $500. He had sold his grain and had in
a bank here in town the sum of $3.50. He
also had $50 in cash at his farm. He
thought that no one knew he had drawn
the money, He intedned to pay off the
Indebtedness the next day. The money
being stolen he was unabI to do so and
in consequence he has lost his farm of
eighty acres.
He came to Wichita and reported the
matter to the officers. Mr.. Voss took it
UP and travelled ali over the northern
part OF Sedgwick. Reno and Harvey coun-
ties trying to locate Jackson. He at last
found a small bundle Of clothes at Sedg-
wick City which Jackson had left, and
also learned that Jackson had boarded
the Santa Fe train there and left for
parts unknown.
Justice of the Peace Enoch learned that
jackson had relatives in Indiana and he
wrote to some of them and learned that
he was there. Requisition papers were
obtained and sent there, but the sheriff
didn't serve them and they were returned
TO this city. Jackson in some way had
been given the tip and went TO Newcastle
where his father is living. The papers
were again sent to Indiana and this time
Jackson was caught by a constable there
who telegraphed here yesterday wanting
TO know what disposition TO make of
Jackson. Mr.. Voss wired to hold him as
he would come on the first train.

THAT MURDOCH ARREST
Huch Indignation Over Kingmant
Sheriff-S Actions.

Hon. Morton Albaugh of Kingman
passed through Wichita on his way to
fopeka to attend the meeting of the Kan
sas Day Club. He says there is much
feeling among Populists and Republicans
nike in Kinzman and around New Muir
dock over the action of Sheriff Davis as
explained in the following dispatch to the
Eagle from New Murdoch:
About the most important arrest made
by Sheriff Davis of Kingrnan was Mon
tana- outlaw. Postmistress Della Meow
an received at the Office descriptions of
the criminal and notice that a reward
would be paid for information leading 70
his arrest. She identified the man, and
notified the Montana parties and Sheriff
Davis at the same time Davis came
down for the man, and now wants TO COB
bic the reward. He says. however, that
rather than win the emnity of the COM
munity he viii allow Mrs MCGOWAN
half"
The following letter came in defense OF
Davis:
The above quoted dispatch does an in
justice TO a worthy official. no matter OF
what political belief The party arrested
was not Montana oulaw. but was want
ed in Minneapolis on two charges OF Grim
tnal assault. for whose apprehension
there was a reward Of $l0o offered. Sheriff
Davis made the arrest through informa-
ton furnished by Postmistress MCGOWAN.

her that If the reward was paid il was 20

The Arrest followed. the reward was paid.
and the money was divided as agreed
upon. Then a followed request by the
postmistress for the full amount. The in
formation furnished by the postmistress

party for whom the reward was offered

Mr.. Albaugh says: 1.-The sheriff was
probably entitled TO half the reward. but
the way he went about it is what makes
the Kingman people hot. There was no
agreement beforehand. The information
was not meagre. as Harris folks live at
New Murdoch. Mrs MCGOWAN received
notice that Harris would probaly come
there. She knew him by descriptions
She notified Davis. He came and arrest
ed Harris. When Mrs. MCGOWAN asked
about the reward he said, you can have
half. bat if you don't want to take that,
III go the whole hog
After a game of bluff Mrs, MCGOWAN
agreed 10 take half. Then Harris had the
gall to ask her to sign a RECEIPT before
she got the money.
AS for the truth of the letter 1T was
written before the reward was paid.
