ARE YOU NERVOUS i?
Prof. Johnstone's Great Treatment
VIII Cure YOU.

Prof. Paul Alexander Johnstone's
great Nerve Treatment will conquer the
worst possible case of nervousness" or
weaknesses of any description. 1t has
a specific effect in both male and female
and relief is obtained within a few mo-
ments after a teaspoonful has been
taken. 1t gradually reduces infiamma-
and vitality to the nerve centers, the
whole nerve structure and the brain.
1t is a sure specific for constipation,
stomach or bladder troubles, dyspepsia,
dizziness, torpid liver, diseased kidneys,
epilepsy, sleeplessness, lost vigor, etc,
etc.
There are in Prof. Johnstone's books
dreds of people who have been cured by
his great remedy and some of the most
prominent men and women in the state
of Kansas are today under his treat
ment. Scores and scores of cases of alb
sOlute cures have been reported during
Prof 'JOhnStOne'S sOjOurn in Topeka,
and while he publishes the names of no
endOrsers, there are in his rooms hun
dredS of letters written to him unSOught
for, testifying to the efficacy of his
treatment as well as the permanency of
cures.
Those who cannot call to make en-
Quiries as regards this great treatment
should enclose in their letters return
postage to insure a prompt reply. All

SELLING PAPER FLOWERs.
Something About the Two Tots Who
Stood at Kansas Avenue
Corner SATURDAY..

''Please mister, buy a sunhower, only
two cents" said a 6-year-Old boy to an
elderly gentleman standing on the cor
ner of Sixth and Kansas avenue.
Yes mister, please do" said a little
girl year younger than the boy, and
both of them held up to the gaze of the
elderly gentleman a paper flower of
strange device and color,
The boys name was John McJimsey,
aged s, and the little girls name was
Flora McJimsey, aged 8. They are
Mr. and Mrs. s. L. McJimsey, who live
on Tyler street i nNorth Topeka, near
the Rock Island bridge.
All Saturday afternoon the two little
flower vendors piled their trade on Kan
sas avenue. They were poorly clad but
their faces, for such small children so
far away from home, were quite clean
and their clothes, though well patched
and worn were respectable
The sunfloWers were made of brown
and yellow tissue paper with vivid
green stems. The center of the flowers
were more nearly octagon than round
and the petals numbered five or six and
were somewhat triangular in shape but
nobody would doubt for a. moment that
they were meant for Kansas sunfiowers
even if the three flowers to one stem
did hang like a three ball pawnbro-
ker's sign instead of proudly turning
their faces to the sun.
who makes these" asked the elder
ly gentleman as he felt in his pocket
for nickel -
Mama makes Them said the little
girl.
our cousin used to make them last
winter" said the boy, but she went
away and doesn't sell them any more
and now we are selling them"
The purchaser paid double the price
for the flower and took it, vaguely Won
dering what he would do with it, and
down the street went the children cry
ing their wares.
The family live in a deserted old gro
Gerry store on Tyler street near the
Rock Island bridge. There is but one
room and in that room are four beds,
two fair-sized stoves, the kitchen and
the dining room. The ceiling is in dan
ger of falling and is supported in the
center by a two by four. The windows
are not all filled with glass and boards
from drygOods boxes covered the empty
frames.
We send the children to school," said
Mrs. McJimsey, and they sell the flow
ers after school and on Saturdays. It
makes US few pennies, but it is pref
ty close figuring to keep them in
school,
7 do anything can hnd.'' said Mr..
McJimsey, but it's hard. I have a
horse and wagon and drive around pick
ing up junk but it's like climbing a tel
egraph pole without any spikes in it, a
fellow is liable to slip back. I am will
ling to do anything that will make a uv-

A MILLION IN BRIDES.
Editor Medil Says It Cost That to
Pass the Allen Law.

Chicago, Dec. 12-Joseph AIedill,
editor of the Chicago Tribune, says:
The best opinion is that a million was
paid to pass the Allen law, including go
betweens and others. About the same
sum is needed for aldermen in sufficient
numbers to pass the fffty-year extension
ordinance over the mayors veto. The
real fight now is to prevent the sale of
the street franchise extension for any
period, under the Allen law by the al
dermen, no matter how much bride
money is offered them.
Several corrupt aldermen are weaken
ing. The bribers are whipped already.
The veto will be sustained through force
of aroused sentiment
The Allen law passed by the Illinois
legislature, and which Mr.. Medin says
cost 81, 600 900, prohibits Chicago from
making arrangements for lower rates
of fare than cents 1t gives to exist
ing companies a status they did not
possess before and makes it practically
impossible for the city to do anything
but renew existing grants. 1t is placed
outside the power of the city to give
the franchises at the expiration of pres
ent grants to a new company that might
be willing to take over all property now
in use for street railway purposes at
a fair valuation and at the same time
offer much better terms to the munich
pality than present companies are will
ing to concede. The Allen law provides
panies that may seek to enter the field
and an entirely different and more
favorable method for companies that
now have rights in the streets that are
soon to expire.
The Allen law permits Mr.. YerSes 20
go to the council, now or at any time
before expiration, for renewals of fran
chiSeS that do not expire yet for from
five to seventeen years. It thus allows
him to take advantage of the city at the
time of its greatest weakness. when the
people may not have been expecting the
franchise extension question to come
up. 1t allows Mr.. Yerkes to secure ex-
tensions for fifty years from the date
of expira ton, which in case of some of
the more recent grants, will make the
life of franchises from the present time
nearly seventy years.

ABABY'S GODMOTHER.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Selected
for MarIborough's Second Son.

New York, Dec. IAN intimate friend
of the Vanderbnts, just returned from
England, brings news of the greatest in
terest to New York society.
He said today: 1.-THE young Duchess of
Marlborough, whose second son was chris
tened in St. James chapel, London, on
November q, chose for his godmother
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr. This means
a good deal to the Vanderbilt family, and
to the young duchess, and a great deal
more to her mother, Mrs. Oliver belmont
That the young duchess should have
selected as gOdmOther woman whom her
own mother, Mrs Belmont, hates, and
who was not present at the marriage, is
significant of the wide breach in the fam
lily. Mrs. Belmont paid one visit to her
daughter at Blenheim palace after her
marriage. but that was two years ago
The young duchess has always tenderly
chung to her father, w. K Vanderbilt.
He has paid short visits to her once or
twice, both at Blenheim and in London,
and now her relations with him are closer
than before.
What a singular thing it is continued
the old family friend. that Mrs Belmont,
rage for her daughter, should now suffer
such a social humilia ton as to see that
daughter use her rank and her splendid
prestige of a ducal title to honor her
fathers family. which her mother now
hates with a bitterness known only to
family Quarrels-
You remember the famous remarks of
tween members of the family, because of
all suits these are the most bitter the most
relentless and the most undying in the en-
mites which engender.

DUST FROM GETHSEMANE.
Will Be Sifted on the Coffin of ohica-
go Knights TempIars.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Earth from the
garden of Gethsemane-the place hall
lowed by the tears of Christ, weeping
over the sins of a world, in contempIa-
ton of the agony he was soon to endure
on the cross-has been brought to Chi
cago. Dry and dustIke in it's compo-
sitiOn, the soil is to be used in the fu-
neral rites of Apollo commandery,
Knights Templar. A box containing
12O pounds of it's soil was received at

consigned to Past Grand Commander
James A. Hitchcock, retiring executive
officer of the commandery.
1t has been presented to the COM
mandery and will be preserved in a
safety deposit vault. An hour glass has
been fashioned with a spring bottom.
It will be filled with the dust so sacred
in memories and placed on the collins
of the dead of the commandery and
when the solemn words dust to dust
and ashes to ashes" are spoken the
earth from the far-off holy place will
sift through the glass upon the coffin.

CORINNEIS ROBBED.
Loses Jewelry to the Value of $500
in St Louis

St Louis, Dec. 12.-Corinne. the dark
skinned singer, who was the leading
vaudeville attraction at the Grand Op-
era House last week, reported to the
police that she had been robbed
She called at the Four Courts, hunted
out Chief DeSmond'S secretary and told
him that jewelry worth 81, 500 had been
stolen from her.
So far the story sounds like the old.
old story of the singer who lost her dia-
monds.
But there are variations.
Corinne declined to be interviewed
She actually seemed to avoid publicity.
She was recognized as she entered the
Four Courts and the identification was
completed when she left.
A reporter asked Chief Desmond's
secretary what the lady wanted. He
really didn't know; he believed it was
something about a lot of jewelry that
had been lost
Corinne boards at the LindelI She
could not be seen, but her secretary,
Mr.. Warde B. Warren was willing to
know what it was that anybody wanted
to see Miss Corinne about.
He was coy at first, but finally said:
Miss Corinne has lost four pieces of
jewelry worth 1880. She kept them in
her trunk. which was in her dressing
room at the Grand Opera House. One
was a ring with diamonds of four car
ats each. 1t is worth $1,000. The other
three are rings of less value.
Miss COrinne wears a great deal Of
handsome jewelry during her act but
did not wear these. 1 think she must
have put them away some place and
overlooked them in packing"
WAS the lock Of the trunk forced %
emo If any one entered it, it was by
means of a skeleton key or picking the
lock.
"Oh, no, it will not interfere with
COrinne's appearance tonight. She
wears very little jewelry on the stage
Miss Corinne is all broken up over
the matter, and can't see anyone. The
