NEEDS A GUARDIAN.
An Old Soldier Saved From Being
Robbed of $500 Just in Time.

John Duffy, an old soldier who will
receive $500 back pension today has
been brought back from Leavenworth
where he was rescued from the Vul-
lures who prey upon the old soldiers in
what is known as Klondike and White
chapel.
Duffy was a member of the Twenty
third Indiana regiment and was a COM
rade of Bailiff John Coyne of the dis
trict court. He has been an inmate of
the Soldiers home and for a long time
Capt. p. H. Coney has been trying to
secure a pension for Duffy. A short
time ago his efforts were crowned with
success and Mr.. Duffy was informed
that he had been allowed a pension of
S12 a month with back pay amounting
to $500. He naturally could not keep
such good news to himself and when he
was discharged from the home few
days ago he was induced to take up his
residence in what is known as Klon-
dixie. This is the place where the SOL
diers are feeced out of their pension
money as fast as they receive it. 1t is
a nest of road houses and saloons be-
tween the city of LeavenWOrth and the
Soldiers home.
The "cappers' had found out when
Duffy was to receive his voucher for
$500 and he was given the privileges -
He was not allowed to pay for anything
and had free access to the whisky and
beer kegs. He admits that he likes Ii
quor and that he was drunk while he
was at Klondike. The $500 voucher
wanted and naturally nothing was too
good for John Duffy.
But Bailiff John COyne and Captain
COney heard what was happening. The
money was due today and if Duffy could
be kept at LeavenWorth they We're sure
that he would have nothing left day
after he had received his voucher. So
Bailiff Coyne went before the probate
court and had warrant issued for
Dufy's arrest Under Sheriff W. H. Will
HamS went to LeavenWOrth.
When the LeavenWOrth vultureS found
out that they were about to be fOiled they
made an effort to prevent the Topeka Of
ficer from bringing his man back to To-
peka- They even went before the judge
and asked for a writ of habeaS corpus to
prevent Mr.. Williams from taking Duffy
refused the writ and the old soldier was
brought to Topeka.
DUFFY told his story to a Journal re-
porter today. He is a stalwart Irish
man and was dressed in a neat suit of
clothes which had been secured for him
since he was brought to Topeka He
said:
Il am away from Leavenworth and I
am glad of it. I know well enough that
they would have robbed me of all 1 had if
they could have kept me. They gave me
all I wanted to drink and said never mind
the pay, and I was drunk two or three
days, know; They made me believe
that if they brought me to Topeka I
would be hung, and I did not want to
'3They can talk all they please about
klondike. and 1t is terrible place, but
they are just as bad over at Leavenworth-
They will rob old soldier whenever
they get a chance My money was to be

FROM ASTHMA
has BEEN AFFORDED MANY
SUFFERERS IN TOPEKA

If there was doubt in the mind Of any
sufferer from Asthma in this city as to
the truth of the claims made for DR..
Schiffmann's Asthma Cure, that doubt
no longer remains, providing he was
among those who called at Rowley &
Shows drug store, last Tuesday and oO-
tanned a free sample package. A great
number who have already tried the
same declare in positive terms that re-
lief was Immediate; that the Wretched
spaSms were checked; that free expec-
toration was induced; that a. reclining
position was readily assumed and
gratefully maintained; that the sleep
which followed was restful and IN
broken, and that the morning brought
a clear head and a feeling of delighted
thankfulness which no words are too
strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials
prove that DR.. Schiffmanns Asthma
Cure not only gives instant relief in the
worst cases, but has positively cured
thousands who were considered incur
able The remedy is now sold by all
druggists in packages at soc and 81 90,
thus bringing it within the reach of
all. Should any reader be unable to
obtain it Of his druggist, it will be sent,
postpaid, by sending to DR.. R. Schiff-

Pretty Wagon.

The spring season Was uShered III
yesterday by the appearance of the
hands0mest wagon that ever rolled
on the streets of Wellington. 1t was
the product OF the Golden Rule Paint
House, aud is TO be used in the grow
Ing business OF that institution. 1t
Is new wagon from the ground up
and is beautifully Urnamented with
aluminium paint and black lettering.
l.. e. Fisher has spent about forty
years OF his life il the paint business.
The greater part of that time has
been spent in Wellington. He knows
every detail of the business. In his
early experiences he has tried inferior
oils and leads and knows their defci.
encieS. He long since learned that it
was poor economy to trifle with such.
He now 6uvS his lead from the factory,
after it is ground hut before il is
mixed, using Collier strictly pure
lead and pure linseed oil. The two
combined make the best paint on
earth. He sells paints, oil and glass
in small or large quantities TO whoever
wants it at the very lowest prices.
He has large country trade and it is
growing every year. He furnishes
workmen where they are wanted and
employs none but the best. He is
scrupulouslv honest and Trustworthy
In all his dealings. Paints, oil and
glass are his specialties. II you need
any OF these he can save you money
whether you employ him to do your
work or not.

Germany. But the postof6ce COM
mittee of the house is composed
mostly of special agents of the rail-
way corporations, and they naturally
reported the bill favorably. But
this was no excuse for the conduct
of the house in passing the bill. But
the house is in the same predica-
ment as its committee. 1t is under
the control Of the railway corpora
tons. There is something almost
laughable in this incident. Every
one knows that the corporations
are receiving S2O,OOO,OOO per year
more than they are honestly entitled
to, and the corporations themselves
do not deny it, yet the robbery of
the government is calmly decreed to
continue. And doubtless another
effort will be made to curtail the
dissemination of intelligence among
the people by interfering with the
present schedule Of postal rates for
newspapers and periodicals, in order
to evade the deficiency.
