Prof. tombstone Performing Some
Very Remarkable Cures.

Prof. Paul Alexander tombstone is

Kansas, and he is creating no small
furore because of the many remarkable
cures in nerve diseases he is perform
ing. People come from all directions
and some from great distances to con-
suit this really remarkable man, and
some of the most pronounced cures he
is accomplishing are instances where
the patients have practically given up
hope of having their health restored
them. The results Prof. tombstone OBJ
tains are, to say the least, more than
interesting.
Nervous prostration, physical and
mental exhaustion, restlessness. nervous
ness weakness in either male or fe-
male, headaches, backaches, kidney or
bladder difficulties, dyspepsia, chronic
constipation, and kindred diseases yield
gradually to this renowned treatment,
and complete reservations are perfected
At times certain stubborn cases require
several months treatment in order to
effect a permanent cure. The ingred-
tents used by Prof. tombstone are said
to be not obtainable in the drug stores,
and some of the ingredients used by
him are manufactured especially for his
usage. People living at distance may
procure the treatment and obtain just
as good results as were a personal in
terview to be had.

NO SPECIAL BILLS.
Legislature Frowns on Local Fee and
Salary Measures.

The bill which was introduced into
the house by Representative Stephen
son to allow the sheriff and clerk of
Shawnee county to keep the fees which
they collect, aroused considerable ar
gument in the house committee of the
whole when it was brought up for con-
sideration yesterday afternoon.
The bill had not been printed and Mr..
Fairchild objected to its consideration
until it had been printed. He said:
There are some things about the fee
and salary law which was passed two
years ago that we do not entirely like
but they were put in simply because
some counties had local laws on this
subject. and the representatives from
those counties would not help to pass
general legislation along that line I'M
less some concessions were made them
Local legislation of this kind is not
right. and 1 move that action on this
Dill be deferred until it is printed
Mr.. Ravenscraft said: There is a
great deal of dissatisfaction out in the
western counties over some of the pro-
visions of the fee and salary law. 1t

and the chief gave her the address that
Miss Morris had voluntarily left at the
station so that she could be found. Mrs.
Wolfrey asked that Chief Strauss send
officer to the house to investigate
matters and the chief advised her that
if she wanted the girl to look the matter
up for herself and also to get the girl,
if she could. An officer looked into the
case and reported that there was no
reason for a warrant.
Then it was that she went to the
house and the trouble occurred. When
she left the house she went to the police
station. The chief was not in and. she
went up town and afterwards returned
and found the chief in. She knocked
at the door of his office.
Come in," cried the chief.
The woman entered. She carried in
her left hand the valise she had used
a weapon on Benedict. It did not
appear much the worse for the encoun-
ter. She seated herself in the center of
the room, coolly opened the valise, took
out handkerchief, wiped her face, re-
placed the handkerchief and said, 81

and he said she was upstairs. When the
girl came down he would not let me go

When she had told her story to the
chief and he explained that he could do
nothing she left and said she was going
to Kansas City and would return on
Monday. She left the police station and
after telling County Attorney Jetmore

Mrs. Wo1frey told the officers that
Benedict had kidnapped Ida Morris, and
that she, as her aunt, wished to gain
possession of her.

Prohibition Va. License.

-
Prohibition outlaws a business that
all intelligent respectable people admit
is a curse and only a curse to the COM
munity where it exists, and therefore
a business that is wrong from its
foundation up. License makes legally
right what is morally wrong, and gives
a glamour of r,spectability which
should never be accorded to it.
Prohibition is right in principle and
eminently beneficial in practice. Lii
cense is acompromise with evil,-a sale
of indulgence in wrong doing "a bride
to the government to protect wrong
doing,-a species of black mail levied
upon wrong doors as the price of sill
n OF inactivity, and is therefore ut.
terly and eternally wrong in principle
and humiliating, degrading and honor
and soul destroying in practice.
Prohibition will not enforce itself
neither will the restrictive part of the
license law, or wen the dispensary
amendment. If the people really do
sire to enforce the laws that will surely
decrease drinking and drunkenness, it
is much easier to enforce that which
outlaws the whole business, than that
which merely restricts specific acts;
and if they will not enforce a prohibi.
tory law, they will not enforce that
part of any other law which is intended
to, in. any way, decrease the sales or
profits of the liquor industry. If pro-
hibition does not prohibit in any par
ticular locality, neither will restriction
restrict in the same locality, and
both are equally failures in that par
ticular community, not because the
law in either case vas not a good one,
but because the majority of the voting
citizens r not good enough to be
law abiding themselves andcompel law
obedience in the community. Indeed
that community is in a state of anarchy
or rebellion, and should be treated
accordingly by the state government.
Prohibition will prohibit when the
voters choose to make it do SO, and
license or dispensary laws will never
restrict the business or its results until
that same time arrives. 1 assert, on
the authority of u mayor, that "you
can't restrict the business without
wiping it out of existence-the only
safe, sure, reliable, never-faileng rem
idy-is IL "Thus saith the Lord, thou
shalt not" backed up by courageous
manly officials, who as bravely, willing.

Of that foe which is enslaving and de-
grading the manhood of her citizens

or Filipinos. until she ceases to elect
