EX-GOV.ST. JOHN DENOUNCED
Prohibition Leader Had Signed Petition to
Sell Liquor.
W. c. T. U. of Olnthe, Kan, Called
Him TO Account and Abused
Him Roundly.

OLATHE,, Kan, February 1i.-At a mass
meeting of his fellow citizens, held in this
city, John L. st. John. the prohibition ex-
governor. was roundly denounced for sign
ing whisky petition. Gov. st. John en-
deavored to defend himself. but was ques-
toned so sharply that ne was compelled to
retreat under fire. The demonstration
which followed was one of the liveliest
ever witnessed in Olatne. which was the
center. ten years ago, of the original pack
age excitement.
Three local druggists hld filed petitions
with the probate judge asking for permis-
sion to sell liquor. The law requires the
signatures of twenty-five men and a like
number of women of the ward in which the
drug store is to locate. One Of the drug
gists secured Gov. ST. John to sign his
petition. This stirred up the w. c. T. u,
and mass meeting called. Senator
Parr, the first speaker, called upon Gov.
ST John to explain why he-so prominent
and able leader and temperance advo-
cate-had after SO many years of prohibit
tion in the city, signed the Irst petition to
permit the selling of whisky.
MIR. st. Johns explanation was that he
wanted liquor sold legally by the druggists.
In an instant the house was in an uproar,
and heated questions were thrust upon the
prohibition champion from every quarter
OF the house. The questions finally came
SO lhlck and fast that no answers could
be given and the ex-governor retired
Judge Hindman delivered d heated speech,
declaring that upon such questions the W.
=. i. Z. had always been right, and at this
time he would follow under their leader
snip IN preference to folio wing the "ineX-
cusable course of St. John. At this utter
ance veritable storm IF applause broke
forth. Others could not wait, but arose and
eInphatically protested against the action
OF st. John, two or three trying to be heard
at once

No trouble is more common or more

People having it think that their nerves
are 10 blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies. the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight OF; the stomach
is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ. in. some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar: in others the kidneys are affected:
in others the bowels are constipated.

with loss of flesh and appetite. with ac-
