CRAzED BY WAR NEWS.


VSOE10p becomes I0000Gs
Kansas City Journal.
Ernest O. Chamberlain. managing editor
or the Evening World. was taken out of
the Office Of that paper day or two ago,
MS reason being completely shattered. He
Is now suffering from brain fever.
For some time Chamberlain has shown
IN increasing degrees the effects OF the
overwork which has fallen to his lot in
the rush to keep up with the news incident
10 the Maine disaster. But the collapse
came unexpectedly on Saturday and poor
Chamberlain was taken away to be placed
under restraint.
In the morning he directed that all the
reporters In the Office should receive two
weeks pay instead OF one which they had
earned. and the enveloped were made up in
accordance with this order although the
extra money was subsequently withdrawn
before the pay hour arrived. Later Mr..
Chamberlain sent for N. A. Jennings. who
writes verse on demand. and said to him:
Jennings. want you to write ten poems
Tor me on the war topic. ! will pay you
$500 apiece for them. and you must sit
right down at this table and begin"
Ono OF the Sunday editions OF the Even
ing World. issued under Chamberlain's d.
rection. contained the word war in big
red letters at the top Of the sheet. with
out any news matter at all to support the
announcement A part OF this edition got
out upon the streets before the wildnes0
OF it became apparent. Then there en-
sued grand scurry up and down Park
row in an endeavor to recover as many
as possible Of the copies that had been
sent out
Early in the morning Mr.. Chamberlain
had cabled to the various foreign CORE
spondents of the World. ordering inme-
diately five pages of war news.
1t has been customary for some weeks
past for the Evening World and the Even
ing Journal to number each extra issue
after all the known characterizatiops of
extras had been exhausted. The climax
was reached tonight when the World
turned out No. Il and the Journal whose
presses were more rapid. No. 30.
The new matter. often only line or two.

College Morals by One who Knows

lead. No other city In America Is so

follows: The invoice is doubled and 80
per cent. duty added. The brokers' charge
is "a Der cent. of the amount of your

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes
irregularity OF the hearts action.
This irregularty may be mistaken
70 real, organic heaat disease. The
symptoms are much the same.
There is however a vast difference
between the two: organic heart
disease is often iucurable; apparent
heart disease is durable If good
digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the
NeC Era, Of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Viewpoint, Ind, a
woman forty. three years old, had
suffered for four years with distress.
ing stomach trouble. The gases
generated by the indigestion pressed
on the heart, and caused an
irregularity of its action. She had
much pain in her stomach and heart,
and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were
most severe at night. Doctors we're
tried in vain; the patient became
worse, despondent, and feared
impending death.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

To all our readers beyond the seas
and within our borders, Merry
Christmas Greeting. We who are
gathered here from North lands and
South lands, from East lands and
West lands, the wide world over
have no need to be told the story Of
the day we celebrate. We shall hear
the beautiful Christ legend in our
places Of worship tomorrow, and
we shall bow the head and bend the
knee with outward reverence, il not
with the spiritual fervor of our an
cestors who believed in all and criti-
cized in nothing that the church
taught.

The Charming Cineograph.

A few OF Manager Clements
friends gathered at the Opera House
last evening to witness a rehearsal
OF the Cineograph exhibition to be
given this evening. The verdict of
the judgments was fattering one.
Several of the pictures notably the
Bull fight, the Cake dance, war pict-
ures and the pulling down of the
Spanish flag we're extremely realistic.
There was one picture especially
that will capture the audience but
what ii is must remain surprise.
In these moving pictures there is
almost total absence OF that un-
pleasant vibration and flashes of
light which have marred previous
somewhat similar performances,

She was much frightened but
noticed that in intervals in which
her stomach did not annoy her, her
hearts action became normal.
Reasoning correctly that her
digestion was alone at fault she
procured the proper medicine to
treat that trouble and with immedl-
ate good results. Her appetite came
back, the choking spells became less
frequent and finally ceased. Her
weight, which had been greatly
reduced was restored and she now
weighs more than for years. Her
blood soon became pure and her
cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest
because the disease is very common
one. That others may know the
means of cure we give the name OF
the medicine used-Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These
pills contain all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered
nerves.

1t is true that we have, some OF us
at least, exchanged biting frosty
cline for one of perpetual summer,
and have bartered the pagan ruddy
berried, glossy green and thorny
holly for the fragrant but still prickly
rose, and the druidical mistletoe
with it's lancet leaves OF frosted
silver and its berries OF pearls for
the sweet tropical lilies, but SO have
we grated the Christmas festival
of the birth of the Saviour of man
kind upon the so-called pagan festi-
vities that reach back into the pre-
historic feast of the days when man
felt that the whole of life was not
in present existence, but that there
was Divinity that ruled their ends,
rough hew them though they might.
