AnIInfortunate Accident.

Last evening while Nina and Fay
Potter, the two little girls of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Potter we're playing over
at their neighbors, the former picked
up little air gun belonging to Harry
Welker and pointing 1t at her six
year-old sister joyously threatened:
am shoot you. Fay" The gun went
off and the charge, small bullet,
struck the little girls cheek and
ranged downward an inch or so and
remained lodged in her cheek. The
two little girls started home, both
crying, the larger one more frighten-
ed than the littfe one. The doctor
rather than cut the baby's cheek
which would make scar, decided to
let the bullet work to the inner side
of the cheek, as it will, and take 1t
out there. 1t is painful wound to
the little girl, but not nearly so bad
as weuld have been the loss of an eye
which might easily have been the re-
suit,

FRED FUNSTON
Lands in News,.sYOrk Monday, WOun-
ded and Sick.
A PHYSICAL. WRECK
Taken at Once 70 a Hospital for an
Operation Which Means
Life or Death.

Dispatches in Tuesdays papers
report the arrival of Col. Fred Funs-
ton in New York Monday, direct
from Cuba. He was pale and weak
from wounds received in the "a bat
ties through which he has passed and
was taken direct to hospital where
he will undergo a suagical operation.
Dispatches say the operation is a
question OF life or death. 1t will be
life. Fred Funston's work isn't done
yet. Nevertheless Fred says him
self that he is cripple for life
and it certainly seems reason
able that man who has
had a bullet through both lungs, an
other through his arm, and both legs
crushed by the fall of horse, will
never be as good as he was.
But the main thing is that Fred is
back again, out of range of the bullets
and barring bad luck, will soon be
home once more.
And what welcome awaits him!

ROBBER CAPTURED.
j. H. Thompson Stole $3.50 Near Stark

THE MONEY RECOVERED.
Arrested While Waiting for Train at
Iola-The A. ~. 4. A. and an lola
official DO some Quick
Work.

At Stark Neosho county, Thursday
man named j. II. Thompson stole
$3.50 from Mrs. Ridley. He then
drove to Humboldt and from there
here and was arrested that night on
the strength of telegram from the
Anti-Horse Thief President at Cha
mute. He was stopping al the Hotel
Thomson and had about 5000 still on
his person. Mr.. ID. E. McClelland,
President OF the A. II. Il. ASSN, at
Cbanute came up on the noon train
and took charge of the prisoner. Mr..
McClelland told the story of the theft
about az follows.
Mrs. Ridley wealthy widow recent
ly moved near Stark and Thompson
worked on the place and "sparked"
the widow. She decided to buy farm
and drew 81, 400 out of the bank and
had It at the house. Thompson,
during her absence in Savonburg
yesterday, having already dispaired
of wooing her, helped himself to $3.50
and leaving q. note saying ne hau
gone to a neighbors, drove to Hum
boldt. There he purchased q suit of
clothes and then drove to lola and put
up at the Thomson. Sheriff Ausher-
man received telegram from Mr..
McClellaud but paid no attention to
it as there was no mark of authority
attached. A second telegram to Har-
ry Brown, offering a reward of $lOC
and signed by the same man as Presi'
dent of the A. H. Il. ASSN, did the
business and Brown took chances and
the prisoner.
1t was quick case of crime, flight
and capture, and shows that Justice
still keeps an eye on the evil doer.

ReStiOn ana diSOrdered liver
mean that a man is fighting the first round
with death. Unless he manages to strike
the Knockout blow, 1t means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise of some serious malady. When a
mans stomach is weak and his digestion
is impaired the life giving elements of the
food he takes are not assinilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowly starves. In the meantime
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this system of starva-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first. If a
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
tion. II he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, or some disease of the air-passages.
If he has a naturally sluggish liver he will
suffer from serious bilious or malarial at

cral Greedy says that '-in the interest of
history, let alone justice to the signal
corps of the army, the truth should be
told. The location of Cervera's squad
ron at Santiago was first made by Col
onel James Allen and later verified in
dependently by Lieutenant Colonel Jo-
seph E. Maxfeld. both officers of the

Cervera's squadron was due to the con-
secutive action of the president and

and representation made personally to
them by the chief signal officer of the
army.
Secretary Long, alive to the situa-

military and naval movements depend
upon that point (the presence of Ger

Admiral Cervera entered the harbor of
