71S Forest avenue
ON account of sickness in the family.
the wedding was very private, only
very few intimate friends of the bride
being invited to attend.
Notwithstanding the privacy OF the
solemnity, the affair was one of the
grandest in many respects that has
ever taken place in Kansas City. All
arrangements were made without the
slightest regard to the cost, and the
decorations were something magnificent.
The entire scheme of floral ornamental
ton, which was a masterpiece OF scenic
display, was characterized by the one
color OF violet, which formed the effec-
tive background for everything All
day yesterday past grandmasters in the
art of floral display were engaged at the
Fritz residence dressing the house for
the ceremony.
In an alcove in the long parlors of the
residence in which was suspended a
rare Japanese wedding bell, the cere-
mony was held. The entire room was a
bower of sweet scented, English violets,
the cerulean blue OF the fragile flower
being relieved here and there with the
rarest of rare orchids, of which there
were such a collection as this city has
never before seen. Under this wedding
bell, which has romantic history at
tached to it, the wedding party took it's
stand just as the clock struck the hour
of noon. Miss Frances Lillis was the
maid of honor, and Mr.. Walter Fritz, a,
brother of the bride, accompanied the
groom as his best man.
Rev. DR.. S. M Neel, of the Central
Presbyterian church, performed the
ceremony. Preceding the wedding
party was little Constance May Flood
the little daughter of the groom, and
niece of the bride, who carried upon a
satin cushion a plain gold band ring
which was used in the ceremony. Just
before the ceremony Mrs. Lynn Banks
sang Neil Moret's without Thee and

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
thoir Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
ve1op the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years I suffered from severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. l was induced to try S. S. s.

A "PREACHER COP"
Leaves His Beat to Deliver a Sermon
in Church.

New York, Feb. s.-A clash between
police duty and orthodoxy has involved
Roundsman Nesbitt of the Wakefield
station in a serious difficulty. He will
have to answer charges of leaving his
post while supposed to be on duty in
order to preach a sermon in the Wake
field Methodist Episcopal church.
Roundsman Nesbitt has earned the
sobriquet of 1.-The preacher cop. The
act which Capt. Herlihy of the Wake
field station could not cOndone was Mes
bits breach of discipline in deserving
his beat on the night of January %. On
this night Nesbitt was supposed to pa
troll from the east side of White Plains
road to the north side of ST. Owens
place. between and u p. m. Captain
Herlihy declares however that instead
of patroling Roundsman Nesbitt was
exhorting for over an hour in the
Wakefield Methodist church on White
Plains road.
President York of the police board
declares that if the charges are proven
Nesbitt will be punished the same as
if he was found drinking in a saloon in
stead of preaching from a pulpit.

to deaden his sensibility to danger and
pain by filling him with whisky. Hence
the custom of passing grog to sailors
and soldiers before battle. Much of the
skill displayed in our recent naval bat
ties was due to the fact that this Gus
tom has been abandoned. In modern
machinery of war it is the clear head
and steady nerve, uninf1uenced by slim
ulants, that win the battle. 1t is to be
hoped that the work of temperance in
the navy will extend to the army, for
there is great need of it there. What
saw among the volunteers at San Fran
cisco was shocking to behold. Let it be
said to the credit of the men of the
Twentieth Kansas that this regiment

perior in point of temperance and
morals to any other regiment in the

CATARRH OF STOMACH
a Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurabIe.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the inter-
ior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condition
The cure of this common and obstin-
ate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
couS surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrh-
al condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. HarlansOn the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diatase
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being a patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough di-
geStion will follow their regular use
after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 2710 Dearborn St,
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes inf1amed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom
passing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical author

but today 1 am the happiest man after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. can not find appropriate
words to express my good feeling I

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
pleSt and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach

that eight Jewish pupils have recently

stirred up and the action which is I'M
precedented in the history of the school
is freely denounced by the Catholic

result of recent visit there of Mother
