Kidney Trouble Cured.
An Ohio Chemist Discovers a Remedy
That Promises to End Terror of
Bright's Disease.

Since DR.. Richard Bright first de-
scribed Bright's disease in 1927, the
medical world has given more and more
attention to the study of the kidneys
as a source of disease and have dem
onstrated beyond doubt that they are
the direct cause of many of the ills OF
mankind.
Nineteenth century methods of living
are well calculated to change the func-
lions of these delicate organs and few
men today can be absolutely certain
that their kidneys are in perfectly
normal condition. tinge Of pain in
the back is classed under that broad
title of cold" while the dull ache that
creeps through the bones is blamed on
the weather or allowed to pass unheed-
ed. This in reality, is natures way OF
sounding the first warning that some
thing is going wrong with the internal
mechanism and wise indeed is the man
who heeds it.
Physicians have long been in dispute
as to the best means of treating dis
being so often upset by dire failure
that it seemed almost as though an in
fallible remedy would never be discov-
cred.
this field has been John Morrow, an
eminent chemist, of Springfield, Ohio
whose experience of nineteen years
gave him ample opportunity for study
ing kidney trouble in all it's phases. The
result of his research is a new combina-
ton of remedies which he has prepared
IN tablet FORM, unOeF the name OF
Kidneoids. While almost entirely new
to the medical world Morrow's Kidneo-
ids have produced such marvellous re-
suits that there seems little reason for
doubling that he has discovered the
remedy long sought for by eminent
physicians and that time worn ideas as
to the most efficient method Of treating
the kidneys viii soon be obsolete.
In our last issue we announced that
one of the largest drug concerns in the
United States, was negotiating for the
control of Morrow's Kidneoids. We are
now informed by the discoverer of this
most peculiar remedy that the Herb
Medicine Co, of Springfield, Ohio, was
the fortunate competitor of the many
firms who were endeavOring to secure
the sole right to manufacture and sell
Morrow's Kfdneoids in the United
States. They are now on sale, general

will commence inside of the next ten
days, and that the road will be pushed
to rapid completion. All material IS
contracted for, right of way secured and
all details settled.
The southern terminus of the road
will be Kay Center, Oklahoma. This
town is situated almost exactly in the
center of Kay county on the banks of
the beautiful Chikaskia river, and in
the heart of the banner wheat region of
the world The town is developing rap
idly and bids fair to make one of the
best cities in northern Oklahoma in the
next few years. Tributary to it is an
exceedingly rich and well settled dis

the road through train service will be
established between Arkansas City and
Kay Center, via South Haven and Hun

SANTA FE WANTS TO KNOW.
Refuses to Cash Up For Expired
Brokers' Buttermakers' Tickets

Kansas City, March Tt is reported
that the Santa F'e has declined to re-
deem the scalpers' tickets which the
secretary of the local passenger assO-
citation gathered up. Up to last night
the Missouri Pacific had not taken up
its tickets. but it is not known whether
the delay was accidental or due to a de-
termination to fight the association.
There is all manner of talk among
ticket people about this last deal. 1T
looks like cOlIusiOn," one agent said
mo one blames Glenn for his cOnnec-
ton with it, further than, perhaps, he
might have refused to present the tick
cts for redemption. but they do blame
the line that took them to Glenn. From
what we have gathered now on the
night that the tickets were to expire
q broker went to every office on Union
avenue and gathered up all the butter
makers tickets on sale. He had just
haf an hour to do it in. Then he took
them to the office of the railroad and
the next morning they were at Glenns
office and fun pay demanded for them.
1t was clean find for the scalpers''
This may be true, and it may have
been clean find for the brokers pro-
Nlded they got their money, but the
railroad which paid the brokers the
brokers' rate for them and presented
them to Glenn for redemption at tariff
may find itself out of pocket, provided
the last report is true and the Santa Fe
refuses to pay up.
Only on one condition will the road
pay up, so 1 am told said a ticket
man, and that is provided it learns ex-
actly how the tickets were picked up
1t is going on the proposition that if the
secretary of the local passenger associ-
alton had earned his salary by exercis-
ing his intelligence then there would
have never been any such foolish thing
done On the other hand, if the secre-
tafy was not worked and some COM
petent line did this for revenge. then
the Santa Fe would be willing to give
up the $137.5O to learn its identity.
But it is the end of the local passen-
ger association. that is assured, y

In the Recent Developments About
the Hay Meadows Massacre.

From the Chicago Chronicle: After a

were convicted of murder in the famous
Stevens county, Kansas, "haystack''
massacre, are to be taken to Paris,
Tex, once more and put on trial for
their lives unless strong influences now
at work succeed in preventing the

This case was the outcome of one of
the bitterest county seat contests ever
waged in Kansas. One day there was
a general shooting ARRAY and three
deputy sheriffs were killed.
At the trial, George R. Peck, now of
this city, then of Kansas, volunteered
his services in defense of the men, and
after three or four trials and parts %
trials, the men were declared convict

The case went to the United States
supreme court on errors, and, as all the
principal witnesses are dead or out of
the country, it was believed the case
was ended. The new move interests

The Bessie X. Wrecked 100
Miles North of Victoria.
NO SURVIVORS SEEN
By the Passengers on the City
of Seattle
Which Passed the Wreck Which
Was Plainly Visible.

Seattle, Wn., March IA passenger
who has arrived here from Alaska on
the steamer City of Seattle has inform
ed Agent Grammar of the steamer Bes-
sic K. that a wreck passed by the City
OF Seattle north of Victoria, which was
reported here last night, had all the
appearance of being the Bessie K, sew
eral days overdue. The wreck lies 100
miles north of Victoria on the rocks,
and there are no indications of any
survivors.
The Bessie K.is owned by ]. c. Kim
ball & Co, of San Francisco, and left
that port for Alaska with heavy load
of freight and passengers. She has a
capacity of 100 passengers and $50 tons
of freight, and was stipulated to leave
here for Dyea on March Z. She is sup
posed to have been wrecked on her Voy-
age south, having been in the track of
the late disastrous storm that swept the
northern coast. So confident is Agent
Grammar that she is lost that he has
arranged to send the passengers booked
for her next trip north on the Navarro.
Owing to the fact that the Bessie K
was coming south, it cannot be learned
at present how many passengers she
was carrying.

possible, for DR.. Embree'S continuance

under such temporary regulations as
the rules of the church may sanction.
If this request is granted, We pledge to
Dr. Embree and to the conference, our
earnest support and cooperation in
promoting every interest the church is
organized to SubSerVe.
IF such arrangement can not be
made, and, in loyal obedience to the
DEGREES of the church, DR.. Embree must
go elsewhere, we tender to him this pub

and the gracious favor of Almighty
God.
An expression of this kind would be
incomplete if it omitted appropriate ref
erence to DR.. Embree's four children,
whose mother crossed the river of death
during his paStOrate here. They will
carry with them wherever they go, the
love, and the prayers of this people,
who cherish the wish that the budding
lives of these children, under the guild

into the full fruition of fathers hope
and joy"
Those who are in favor of adopting
this memorial will please stand said

The entire congregation stood up
When DR.. Embree came forward to
speak, he uttered his words with great
difficulty. He was moved deeply. He
said: L thank you from the bottom of
my heart. Those of you who know me
are well aware that I appreciate this
compliment more than I can tell you.
Yet, I feel that it is best for me to go.
When a man stays in one place five
years it is sometimes best for him to
seek new fields, because he probably
tells in that time, all he knows and new
men and new methods might help us"
In closing his sermon DR.. Embree
said: IF I should attempt to tell you
tonight how much 1 regret the close of
this paStOrate. words would fail me. 1
want to thank every one of you for the
kind assistance and cooperation which
has paid off all the Indebtedness and
added 500 new members TO the church,
in addition to a large number of pro-
bationers.''
The official board will meet at the

other year.

FRISCO SELECTS A DEPOT.
New Line Will Enter at Second and
WYandotte Streets, Kansas City.

Kansas City, March When the St
Louis and San Francisco railway comes
into Kansas City it will enter the Grand
Central depot at Second and Wyandotte
streets.
In St. Louis. yesterday contracts were
all signed up leasing to the new conner
trackage rights on the Belt line and
Second street tracks.
But there is absolutely no room in the
depot to let the train in there. Unable
to get trackage there, the Frisco people
had left to them the choice of two de-
pots, South Grand avenue or the Sec
Ond street depot. Here is where the
freight and yardage privileges came in,
and the road found it to its best inter
ests to- accept a proposition made by
pany, and accordingly the Second street
depot will be freight and passenger
headquarters for the road.
