TOYING WITH JUSTICE.
Witnesses Still Uncertain in Joint
Gases.

The evidence in the case of the city
against George Klauer, charged with
running a joint in the rear of the cigar
store of his brother, Hermann Klauer,
was taken in the district court this
morning. The evidence was concluded
at noon, but the case, will not go to the
jury until Friday morning, as Judge
Hazen discharged the jury for the af-
ternOOn.
From the testimony of witnesses ex-
amined this morning it appeared that
there was a rear entrance to the place
as well as a front entrance. One wit
ness was asked if he had drank any
thing at the bar, and he said he had
not for the reason that he couldn't find
a position there. However, as usual
in all liquor cases, none of the evidence
was strong with the exception of that
given by the officers who raided the
Joint. Judge Hazen remarked to the
city prosecutors that it was peculiar
convicting evidence could not be Sc
cured when it appeared that business
had been carried on continuously
through two doors. IF the judge would
send a few people who persist in vio-
lating their oaths to Jail it might have
a wholesome effect

Dyspepsia Tablets.

There is a cure for dyspepsia Suf-
ferers who have tried noXious nOstrums
viii probably be skeptical, but skepu-
c.isrn vanishes when Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are tried Whether the trouble
is dyspepsia Of long standing, or merely
a simple case of indigestion, relief is
prompt and pronounced The less the
trouble the fewer tablets need be
taken
Heaviness after eating, sour stomach,
as indicated by belching, fatigue with
slight exertiOn, or with no eXertlon at
all. disturbed sleep, nervousness, consu-
patton. depression, blues these things
can commonly be set down as symp-
toms of dyspepsia. And dyspepsia is
merely indigestion in an aggravated
form.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets produce
strong nerves. restful. refreshing sleep,
pure blood and good, sound, healthy
flesh They make the skin, clear, the
eyes bright. the mind cheerful.
Stuart'sf Dyspepsia Tablets are a
medicine and more than a medicine.
They digest the food and make it easy
of assimilation and they relieve the in
famed, diseased condition of the mem
braneous Innings and the glands of the
stomach and bowels. They help the
digestive organs over the hard places,
and put them into a healthy, active
condition. They effect quick and per-
manent cure. You don't have to con-
tinue taking them forever, still it is
well to have a box handy and take one
at the first return of the trouble.
Perfectly we'll people are made sick
by eating too much. or unwhOlesOme
food, but not if they take a tablet after
eating. Trea tment with Stuart's Dys-
pepSia Tablets does not neceSS1tate

digest the proper food and act upon the
other kind in such a way as to make it
pass off quickly and harmlessly. You
may eat and drink what you like, when
you like and as much as you like if you
take a tablet afterwards.

APPEALED TO THE STATE.
Topeka Restaurant Walters Use Labor
Department to Advantage.

What threatened to be a strike OF the
walters and employees in the Cremerie
restaurant was avoided Wednesday by
arbitration and the proprietor of the
place has signed an agreement giving
the walters and cooks an increase of 81
per week for their services.
The demand of the Cooks and Wait
ers' union was presented to c. d. Scott.
proprietor of the Cremerie. He was
given until o'clock Tuesday night to
sign it. He asked for additional time
at that hour and was given until g
o'clock Wednesday morning. At that
hour the walters and cooks We're
ready to walk out if their demands
were not acceded to, but two members
of the union and Mr.. Scott called upon

FAULKNER COMING.
Dollar Gas Man Will Be In Topeka
Friday.

Mr. J. w Faulkner. the Chicago gas
man, will come to Topeka Friday to
look after his proposed franchise. Mr..
Faulkner will visit the various council
men and talk to them in the interest
of his scheme. He will probably remain
in Topeka over Monday night, so as to
be present at the council meeting when
his ordinance comes up for considera-
tion.
The fact that Mr.. Faulkner is coming
to Topeka to look after his interests,
coupled with the fact that he is willing
to put up a reasonable deposit before his
franchise becomes legal, tends to show
that he is very much in earnest about
the project of giving Topeka new gas
plant and cheaper rates.

LANTERN DISPLAY.
Beautiful Kaleidoscope Effect or
Lawn of 2. p Bacon.


The finest lantern show ever given
in Topeka was at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. P. Bacon on Topeka avenue last
evening.
The place presented a gorgeous ap-
pearance with its dozens of beautiful
over the lawn and parking. The most
striking thing was the large square
window in the front of the house which
gave the appearance of being stained
glass, and it was only when one went
very close to it that he discovered that
it was made merely of paste board and
dozens of different colored tissue paper,
with a brilliant light placed in the
room back of it.
At the top of the window in red,
white and blue letters were the words,
Not in the combine. made in Topeka,
u s. A, Mr.. and Mrs. F. P. Bacon"
Below this was large sheet of paste
board which exactly fitted the window,
cut in a design often seen in church
windows. The design was drawn by
Mrs. Bacon and was cut by her hus-
band; they spent a week in making it,
working in the evenings.
Occupying a conspicuous place on the
lawn was a lantern, on which were the
words, Our FirSt:'' it was Ornamented
with dogs, cats, leaves and other sim
pie figures, little resembling the intri-
cate designs of those made afterwards.
Many of the lanterns are very elabor-
ate, the designs being fruits, flowers
and many conventional designs.
Mrs. Bacon, in speaking of the Ian
terms, said: 1T is very fascinating
work; I do all the designing and Mr..
Bacon cuts them out in the evenings.
He uses nothing but a sharp knife in
cutting them, except the ones that are
ornamented with round dots and for
them he uses a punch"
There were fifty lanterns and nearly
as many different designs. Hundreds
Of people called during the evening.

FROM ENGLAND's ENEMIES,
French Hope to See Her Furthex
Humiliated in the War In
south Africa.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Gen. Du Baril, former minister of war
represented the ultra-Anglophobes in
France when he said:
II hope that England will be forced to
drink the cup of bitterness to the dregs
She deserves It.
IT shall be glad to see poetic Justice ac-
complished. For years Europe has bowed
before the prestige Of British arms and
has been cowed and overcome by English
threats. Every modern state has suffered
at Englands hands.
Nov, at least, we see that the cat has
not such fearful claws after all. Every
fresh British defeat makes greater fools
of us all.

bring England to terms in short order.
do not believe that Great Britain will think
for moment of accepting defeat or maxi
ing overtures, but am confident that she
will be forced to do so.
'FIer recent discomfitures are not ordi-
nary ones They disclose fearful incompe-
tency on the part of the British generals

ly half century

Col Chappelle. editor Of one Of the lead

1.-THE war this year has disclosed three
things 1t has shown that the Beers are be-
ing directed by men who have studied
closely the conditions In South Africa, for
nearly every mishap which has befallen the
British has been mainly due to superior
knowledge of topography on the part Of
the Beers.
Second, the Beers appear to have stud
led particularly the art OF strategy which
has mostly been abandoned by the civilized
nations at present.
FINALLY, the Beers are less confident
than the English. Consequently they have
gone into the struggle with more spirit to
perform what is regarded as impossible.
The English troops seem to have thought
they were dealing with half civilized foes
or entire barbarians like the Dervlshes.
Apparently they did not expect to find mill
tary intelligence shown In battle against
them and were drunk with a sense of their
own power This is why they are 50 often
taken by surprise Any good leader Of SOL
diers know that the best army Is that
which goes on the battlefield filled with

AN APPEAL FROM THE DUTCH.



NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.--Leonard G. Van
Noppen, member of the Universal Neither
lands Union, arrived In this city today on
the Statendam, with the appeal of the
union to the nations represented at the
peace conference at The Hague, asking
England to submit the South African
question to arbitration and end the war
in the Transvaal, Signatures to the APP
peal are being obtained in continental
lated in America .
"By England's threatening attitude
reads the appeal, this war has been fore
ed on the Beers. for England desired this
war. Shall civilization, Of which the Oc-
cident is so proud, endure the outrage
that civilized nation is forced by an
other and .mightier one-only because 1t
between submission and determination?
"All men of good will In the civilized
world, Of every nation and party, must
unite in a public expression of their opin-
ions.
''From the England that is under the
influence of Rhodes and his gold, they
must appeal to the England where the
memory; from the England of brotherly
love they must ask judgment against the
England Of the gold market. They must
ask for the application of the principles
of arbitration to which also England.
during the course of this century, has
repeatedly paid homage.
They must try to bring to fulfillment
the expectations raised By the peace con-
ference"

the Boer positions. which were known to
be very strong. to the westward and north
west of Colenso. During the two preceding
days the Beers had allowed themselves to
be bombarded without condescending to re-
ply with single shot.
They further took half an hours bonn
bardment this morning without an ex-
change, when suddenly they belched out
a stream Of fire from all their fntrench-
ments. besides opening fearful cannonade
with all their quick firers, field and siege
guns, which were posted from end to end
of their positions. When their presence
and actual positions had been determined

the artillery attached to Gen. Harris divi-

of which the Irish infantry brigade
marched out in extended order to cross
the river and attack. Undoubtedly aim
