INGRAM CARPET YARNS.


Philadelphia. Sept. 23-At a meeting
OF ingram carpet yarn spinners, held
in this city. an absolute shut down OF
the mills represented was decided
upon. This action is taken because OF
the overproduction OF yarn.

suai conditions IN the carpet business.

are not running. While the looms have
been shutting down. the production OF
yarns has kept up, with the result that
there has been overproduction and a
consequent tendency toward lower
prices. Some time ago the yarn men
decided upon n scale of prices. and tho
shut down was 90 establish this firmly
The shut down will be indefinite.

WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For People Whose stomachs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor,

DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion in dis
eases is worthy of attention, says when
a man or woman comes to me com
planning of Indigestion, loss OF appetite,
sour stomach, belching, sour watery- RS
ings, headaches, sleeplessness, lack OF
ambition and a general run down ner-
VOuS condition I advise them 10 take
after each meal one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, allowing the tablet
to dissolve in the month, and thus min
gle with the food eaten. The result IS
that the food is speedily digested before
it has time to sour and ferment- THESE
tablets will digest food anyway Wheth-
er the stomach wants to or not, be
cause they contain harmless digestive
principles, vegetable essences, pepsln
and Golden Seal which supply just what
the weak stomach lacks.
I have advised the tablets with great
success, both in curing indigestion ana
to build up the tissues, increase flesh
in thin nervous patients, whose real
trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as
the stomach was put to rights they dld
not know what sickness was
A fifty cent package of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they are not secret
patent medicine, they can be used as
often as desired with full assurance
that they contain nothing harmful in
the slightest degree, on the contrary,
anyone whose stomach is at all De
ranged will flnd great beneht from the
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They
will cure any form of stomach weak
ness or disease except cancer OF the
stomach. Full size package at drug

CHAs. CURTIS WILL HELP.
To Seek Government Assistanc e With
Fort Leavenworth Improvements.

Leavenworth, Sept. Congressman
Curtis came to town from Topeka and
met with a number of citizens in the
National hotel for a conference in re-
gard to the needs of the Fort, Soldiers
Home and the federal prison.
Among those present at the confer
ence were Warden French and J. NJ.
Allen of the prison. Alexander Caldwell,
Edward Carroll, John Harmon, A. r.
Anthony, w. N. Todd, ]. T. Taylor, G.
NJ. Tarr. w. H. Bond, Geo. H. Heavy,
G. S. Hartough, J. S. Edwards, L. P.
Rothschild, NJ. H. Carr and others.
1t was explained to Mr.. Curtis that
the work of the construction of the new
prison had reached a point where 1t
would be best to let the rest of the work
by contract and finish it as speedily as
possible. That it would be for the bene-
fit of the infantry and cavalry school to
have the $500 acres of land now occu-
pied by the prison turned over to the
garrison for use as a maneuvering
ground, giving the prison immediate
possession of the 700 acres upon which
is the site of the new prison.
1t was shown the infantry and cavalry
school had become one of the most i'm
portant of war colleges and in order to
better facilitate the giving of proper
instruction a regiment of infantry,
cavalry and artillery ought to be sta
toned here. 1t is believed If combined
effort is made by the Kansas delegation
that the school will obtain recognition

DEFAU1TER AND FoRGER.
Editor and City Clerk at Empire
Leaves Under Cloud.

Galena, Sept. e.-The sudden disap-
pearance of Carl Andrews, ex-city clerk
of Empire and former editor of the En-
pire Journal, has caused great commo-
ton in that city, and several creditors
are mourning his departure with their
cash. Andrews left last Friday night
and since then nothing has been heard
from him. Today a warrant was is
sued for him and an officer will go i'm
mediately in search of the fleeing GRIM
inal 1t is quite likely that he will be
captured within a very short time.
Andrews stealings will foot up be-
tween $500 and $500. He secured $68.75
upon a city warrant, to which he forged
the name of Mayor J. P. Walters; $200-75
occupation tax that he collected and
never turned over to the city treasurer;
$50 belonging to the Select Knights
which he collected while acting as re-
corder; $3.50 which he so willingly col
Iected from the merchants to give to
Mrs Cole the postmistress, to assist
in defraying expenses in the removal
of the postoff1ce and never turned over
to her; about $50 belonging to the
knights and Ladies of Security, besides
small amounts from other sources and
numerous unpaid bills he had contract
ed during his residence in Empire.

MISS GIRARDS' HEARING.
Proceedings In the Supreme Court
Amuses the Young Woman.

New York, Sept. 9.-Bettina Girard, a
daughter of the late General Albert Ord
way, was happy today during her brief
outing from St. XavIer's sanitarium,
where she has been confined for three
months
She spent some time in the supreme
court before Judge Bookstaver, where
she had been taken on a writ of habeas
corpus, asking for her discharge from
the institution on the ground that her
detention is illegal The entire pro-
that she laughed repeatedly during the
discussion as to the legality of her COM
mitment, which was for one year, es-
pecially when reference was made to
her personally. She was taken back to
the sanitarium in the afternoon, and
will be brought before the court again
tomorrow for another hearing.
John B. Pine asserted she had been
committed to the institution voluntarily
not ut to have her liberty, because she
went on periodical sprees.
A. H. Hummel made a strong plea
for her release. He cOntended that the
commitment papers were worthless in
asmuch as she had never had a hearing,
had not been brought before the judge
who committed her and was deprived of
her personal rights. He said the charge
upon which she was committed was
that she was in the habit of indulging
in the use Of alcoholic stimulants."
If that is a crime which can be pun
iiShed by Imprisonment in an institu-
ton for one year." he said then large

prived of their liberty on the certificates

Fort Scott, Sept. 9.-After walking a
distance of 300 miles, Mrs. Mary Schwin,
tired, foot sore and weary from her long
journey, sat down on the NJ, K & T.
platform about o'clock yesterday
morning to rest. She fell over asleep
and the next thing she knew she was
awakened by light tap from Police
man Halls club. Startled and sur
prised she arose to her feet, yaWned
and accompanied the officer to the Gala
boose to undergo an investigation, as
it was unusual to find a lone woman
traveller at that hour of the night.
Yesterday she told her story to Gala
boOse Keeper Wray. She is a woman
about 40 years old and apparently well
educated. Her clothes were plain and
of coarse make and pattern, but clean
and tidy as could be expected for a
woman who has Travelled on foot from
st. Louis She uses good language and
is seemingly industrious. Being a
widow, without friend or relative, her
home is anywhere in the wide, wide
world. She made a poor living in ST.
Louis and she left there four weeks
ago yesterday with Parsons as her
destination. Having but little money
she was compelled to beg and perform
work on the way to obtain the sus-
tenance of life. She had heard there
was plenty of work in Parsons and she
set out on foot for that point The lone
trotter met with no accidents on the
road and slept out of doors every night
except one. She carried a few toilet
articles in a small grip sack and in
this manner kept herself clean. At Sc
dalia she shipped a package of clothing
to Fort Scott, which was intercepted by
the police and investigated, but nothing
was found to connect her with any
wrong, and she was released to COM
