PERSIA TABLETS

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach SO much
as in nearly every organ. In some cases
the heart pa1pitates and is irregular; in
ers the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with

SUES HIMSELF.
Treasurer of Labette County Protests
Against Building Sidewalks.

as an individual has sued himself as
county treasurer of Labette county to
prevent the collection of a sidewalk tax
which the city of Oswego has assessed
against him. After filing the suit he
went before the court today and asked
the Judge to file an order restraining
him from levying on his own property
for the collection of the tax. He sets
up in his petition that the city laid the
sidewalk against his wishes by the votes
of pretended members of the Oswego
council who were not entitled to vote
on the question by reason of the fact
that they received a commission from
the CoffeyvilIe Vitrif1ed brick plant on
all the brick put down in OsWego upon
the order of the council.

busy for several days denying stories put

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

alter tomorrow night. The piece is still in
the hands of the original company, and
this fact, coupled with the fact that it is
lions, insures an enjoyable performance.
The scenes are laid in the reception room
of the Hoffman House, and in a room in
Madison Square Garden on the day and
evening of the annual French ball. The
prices are from 81 down, and the advance
sale is already large.
Under the Red Robe" the dramatiza-
ton OF Stanley Weyman'S novel of the
same name. comes to the Crawford thea
ter next Saturday evening. The COM
tic actor. Mr.. William Morris. is an un-
usually strong one selected in New York
by Mr.. Julius Calm. All the atmosphere
of Stanley Weyman's famous book is
faithfully preserved and the persons of
the story seem to have walked directly
from the printed pages to the footlights.
The splendid Interpretation of Under the
Red Robe by this company has been ad-
mired everywhere, and the piece is one of
the most popular of ell romance plays
seen in England or the United States for
the past twenty years.
