the law be carried out the ak will speedily

legal-that is to say, they do not come
under the State law, but have to be pro-
hibited by city ordinances. These exempt
games can still be carried on with i'm
punity until the ordinance now being
printed goes into effect, which will be in
about two weeks.
There is, however, a more drastic
method of reaching the gamblers than by
passing ordinances. This is by closing the
saloons where the games are conducted,

The game raided last night had only
Just opened, and was in one of the most
respectable lodging houses in town. The
gamblers declare that their i'll luck is due
to the fact that they opened up on Friday.
When the police broke into the room they
would have been unable to make any ar
rests but for the cupidity of two of the
players, for the room was full of players
and visitors, and the officers could not
have picked out the players. Two of them,
however, who gave the names of Williams
and johnson, had up $50 apiece, and when
they saw the police were so anxious to
recover their money that they rushed to
the table and helped themselves. On this
evidence they were arrested with the
dealer. The evidence is considered good
because if the money were not theirs they
were caught in the act Of stealing ii.

Something over two years ago I COM
menced to have an extremely tired, WORKOUT
feeling and kept getting worse, - writes Mrs.
W. S. Lindsey, of Chetopa, Labette Co.,
Kans. "A1rnost everything ate would sour
3n my stomach and cause diarrhea, and 1
had such heavy feeling in my right side,
Just opposite my stomach, that I could not
lie on my left side. It seemed that the
weight in my right side was tearing some
thing loose whenever I would try to lie on
my left side, and then commenced to have
such terrible pain in my stomach and right
side It would shift from my stomach to my
side and then back again, and every time the
pain would get harder, and it would last
hours at time. Nothing would ease me in
the least except laudanuru, and I would have
to take two or three doses before that would
help. Nobody knows what I suffered. In
the first place, these spells would be two or
three weeks apart, but at last they came on
regularly every other day. They would COM
mence about eight o clock in the morning and
last until nine or ten O'Clock at night. 1 tried
three different doctors; one said it was ma
1aria, and gave me so much ca1omel that it
almost killed me. Another doctor said it
was my liver; his medicine helped me for a
short time and then the trouble came back
harder than ever The other doctor said, i
think know what ais you, but his med1-
cine did not help at all. I felt that my time
was short, and / was perfectly discouraged.
I could not bear to think of leaving my little
children, but was so down-hearted and weak
I could hardly crawl around. Was in bed
most of the time. My mother said, Try DR..
R. V. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery;
others recommend it, and I notice his adver-
tisement in everything pick up My hus-
band bought bottle. I did not feel much
better after taking the first bottle, but my
husband bought another and said, I'VE will
give it a good trial Before had taken all
of the second bottle felt better and COM
menced to work little. I have taken six
bottles, and now am able to do all of my
work. Am never troubled with my stomach
or side any more. God has surely blessed
your medicine, and recommend it to every
one My sister-in-law is taking it now, and
it is helping her."

90S Broadway, April 8.
Joe Taylor denies that he abducted Mrs.
Dottie Bernard. He says the lady has
misrepresented him, and although the
story he tells is not very chivalTous the
police detectives declare it to be true.
Il met Mrs. Bernard last Tuesday"
said Joe Taylor, "and knowing her cir
cumstances l offered to take her to Por-
tuguese woman who lives near me. As
Mrs Bernard had been drinking the
woman would not take her in, and 1 let
her go to my house so that she might
sober UP. have known her for some
time, becoming acquainted with her
through delivering goods at her house
when she lived with her husband. Her
story that l and three others locked her
up for four days is absolutely false, and
she was at liberty to leave the house any
time she wished. 1t was while suffering
from the effects of drink that she smashed
the windows. and in order to excuse her
actions she told story of being abducted,
imprisoned and having to fight for her
liberty.
1.-The woman has no home at present,
and is not living with her husband, as she
says. Bernard left his home several
weeks ago on account of his wife's be-
havior, and says he will never live with
her again

still in the City Prison and may have to
