Nothing like Bar-Ben has ever
been known before in the history of
modern remedies. The most compli
Gated and aggravated of cases, here
tofore considered incurable, yield in
stantly to the wonderful curative
properties or this new discovery.
Bar-Ben is as different from any
thing and everything else as day is
from night. The effects differ from
the effects of other so-called sexual
remedies in that it is not stimulant,
but BLOOD, NERVE and BRAIN
BUILDER. 1t creates solid flesh,
muscle and strength, and infuses
new vigor and vitality into the
weak, nervous broken-down system,
while its effects are quickly apparent,
and as astonishing as they are last
ing. The testimony of thousands of
men and women whom it has lifted
from a helpless condition of long
suffering tells the tale of this great
discovery more effectually than
words can portray.
Bar-Ben Restorative is prepared in
small sugar-cOated tablets, easy to
swallow, box of so tablets 50 cents,
or six boxes $3.50. Sold by druggists
everywhere, or mailed, sealed, on
receipt of price.

IS OUTRAGEOUS.
Arrest of a Prominent Citizen
on a Silly Charge.

W. w. Gavitt, an old and we'll known
resident of Topeka, was arrested on a
federal indictment last evening. The
charge against him as stated by the
warrant is "embezzling the records and
property of the United States" which
sounds like a serious offense. The real
charge, however, is that Mr.. Gavitt
kept letter he had written, which had
fallen into the hands of a postoffice in
spector long enough to consult an at
torney about it before returning it to
the inspector.
The letter in question was written by
Mr.. Gavitt to J. G. Cooper, the post
master out at Oakland, last October.
1t contained the statement that the
$40 to $50 a day, and asked what bene-
fit it would be to Mr.. Cooper to have
the cOmpany'S mail mailed at the Oak
land office. The letter was turned over
to the postoffice department by Mr..
Cooper, and two or three months later
r. NJ. Fulton, a postoffice inspector,
called on Mr.. Gavitt and wanted to
know the circumstances under which it
had been written.
Fulton told me-" said Mr.. Gavitt to-
day, that parties between Topeka and
Oakland were sending their mail out to
the Oakland office to have it mailed,
were 1 did not know, but 1 asked to be
allowed to keep the letter long enough
to show it to my attorney to consult
with him about what 1 had done my
self. Fulton did not want to leave it,
but I insisted, and told him he could
have it back in a short time, and he
finally left. That was just before din
ner, and I was on my way to my
office after dinner, Fulton met me and
demanded the letter. 1 told him 1 did
not have it with me, and would send it
to the federal building as soon as 1
reached my office, which 1 did about
fifteen minutes later. The letter was
not in my possession much more than
an hour, but the inspector got mad at
me for keeping it. If he had suggested
that I make a copy of it I should have
done so, but did not think of it myself
I afterward explained the whole matter
to Mr.. Lambert, and from what he said
I supposed the entire matter had been
dropped. 1 think the inspector got mad
at me, and took this method of getting
even.'
Mr.. Gavitt was arrested upon an in
dictment brought by the federal grand
jury last week upon the statements of
POstOffice Inspector Fulton, who claims
that Gavitt had the letter over night,
and was trying to keep him from get
ting it back. Mr.. Gavitt's bond was
placed at $500, which he Immediately
gave.
