GRAND STAND PLAY.
The Waterworks People Growing
More and More Desperate.

The opponents Of Mr. Drew have been
driven to such extremities that they
are making an organized effort to preju-
dice the voters of the better element
against him. Every effort up to this
time has met with a rebuff and during
the past two or three days they have
been planning grand coup. They
have been collecting affidavits from
some of the most disreputable people
in Topeka making a personal attack
upon Mr.. Drew. They have solicited
men who can be bought for a few dol
lars to make an affidavit to anything,
and it is said that they are to be pub
lished with flaming headlines in the
Brooks waterWorkS organ on tomorrow
when there is no time left to answer
the charges.
There never has been a time in the
history of Topeka when that kind of
politics would be approved by the bet
ter class of people. That class of peO-
pie is supporting Mr.. Drew because
they have known him for years and
know that his character is unimpeach-
able and that he is brave and consist
ent as a public servant. They know
that he can be trusted on all questions
pertaining to the welfare of the city.
The voters know that everything that
can be done by the friends of the water
company to prejudice the candidacy of
Mr.. Drew has and will be done, but
this latest move will prove a greater
boomerang than anything that has yet
been done. The people like a fight in the
oDen, Squarely upon issues.

KANSAS MEN WOUNDED
One Lieutenant and Three Privates
Struck by Filipino Bullets.

Manila, Feb. 24.-4:40 p. m.-The en-
emy's sharp shooters have been partic-
ularly active about Caloocan all day.
Special attention was paid to the three
gun battery near the railroad and the
improvement of the insurgent marks
manship was very noticeable. They
fired volleys at the battery, their bullets
frequently skimming the tops of the
sand bags. A lieutenant of the Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteers and three other
men were slightly wounded. A man
was killed in the trenches today.
The insurgent battery has not been
used since shell from the United
States double turreted monitor Monad-
mock exploded over it yesterday. The
enemy's fire was so hot during the
night in the vicinity of the Higgins
house that the headquarters was re-
moved TO a church four hundred yards
inside line.
A few small fires have destroyed sew
eraI native houses in the outskirts of
the city.
The Twentieth infantry is being dis
embarked from the transport Scandia.
The regiment will be encamped on the
water front, at the former quarters of
the Tennessee volunteers.

Express Messenger Identifies
Him as Leader of the
Bandits.

Kansas City, Feb. 24.-Wm. Lowe, the
confessor, finished his oft-repeated story
of the Leeds train robbery in the trial of
young Jesse James today. The cross-ex-
animation failed to shake him. Though
Lowe could not positively identify Caleb
Jones. alleged to have been connected
with the holdup, Lowe apparently left no
possible escape for James. He detailed
the plot of the robbery and how it was
carried out, and told of James alleged
part in it.
Express Messenger Hills followed and
practically identified James the leader
of the bandits.

opposition has had no effect, for the

the issues mean.

hearts of every citizen of the city, the

morrow who never cast a vote in their
lives. The issue is such a vital one that
people everywhere are interested. There

urer and one for city attorney. The bal
lot to be used is the Australian ballot. All
the candidates names appear on the bal
lot, and the one you wish to vote for for
each office you will indicate by a cross
mark in the square to the right of the

GUS by Using
DR.. a. w. CHASE'S
KiDNEY-LIVER PILLS

Nature makes an extra effort in the
spring to rid the blood of its impurities,
and TIE filters of the blood-the kidneys
and liver-are called upon to perform an
enormous amount Of labor.
As a result, they become tired and ex-
hausted, and there are backaches, side
aches, headaches, and pains in the
shoulders aud limbs. Digestion is de-
ranged, and the languid, exhausted feel
ings of spring cause misery to the body
There is only one means of making
the blood pure, and that is through the
kidneys and liver-the filters of the
blood BY acting directly on these
delicate organs, Or. Chase's Kidney
Liver Pills purify the blood as no other
preparation was ever known TO do.
Mr.. VIM. l.. Maurey, Scottsville, N.
