A Remarkable Enterprise
Is That of the British Doctors at
412 Topeka Avenue.
These Eminent Physicians Are Civ
ing Their Services Free for Three
Months to All Invalids Who
Call Before November 1st.

"A staff of eminent physician and sur
geons from the British Medical insti-
tute have, at the urgent solicitation of
a large number of patients under their
treatment in Topeka, established a per-
manent branch in this city at No. 412
Topeka avenue
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months Cmedicines ex-
eepted) to all invalids who call upon
them for treatment between now and
November Is. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course is
to become rapidly and personally ac-
quainted with the sick and afflicted, and
under no condition whatever will any
charge be made for any services rem
dered for three months, to all who call
before November Is. Therefore the
most humble in circumstances can avail
themselves of the services of these emf
nent physicians.
The doctors treat all forms of disease
and deformities, and guarantee a cure
in every case they undertake. At the
first interview thorough examination
is made and if incurable you are frank

NAN OF MANY WIVES.
Congressman Brigham a. Roberts
Visits Brooklyn.

New York, Oct 14-Congressman-
elect Brigham Henry Roberts from Salt
Lake City, Utah. who is in Brooklyn,
came east over a week ago on private
business. He Will remain about a
week longer and then go to PhiIadeI-
phia and probably to Washington.
Speaking to a reporter he said there
was no Indictment against him when
he left Utah that he knew of, nor did
he know that there was now an indict-
ment. He had broken no law he said,
that he had a plurality of wives was
true, but he had married them before
the manifesto of 1890.
There had been no plural marriages
since then, nor would there be any.
Any infringement of the statute would
be disciplined by the church as quickly
as by the laws of the land.
Mr. Roberts said his visit to Brook
1yn was merely a friendly one to the
people of his own religious faith. They
were here to preach the gospel and did
not desire to be brought into any con-
troversy which might affect him
Speaking of his election to congress
he said he had received the greater
number of votes from the Gentiles and
it had been an election of the people.
He had no fear about facing congress
or any misgivings as to the outcome Of
the situation.

ANOTHER HEARD FROM.
Tecumseh Township Wants to Have
q Say In Location of New Bridge.

The people Of Tecumseh township
are preparing to take a hand in the
new Kaw bridge controversy, accord
ing to Postmaster Naylor of Tecumseh.
The site that has been talked of thus
far, and the one which the projectors
Of the bridge have had in mind, is
directly east on what is known as the
Pugh road. The Tecumseh people want
the bridge placed a mile further down
the Gooddeu road. This would put the
bridge within half a mile of Tecumseh,
and would enable farmers living on the
north side of the river to come to that
place instead of going to Granville,
three miles away.
If they try to put the bridge up on
the Pugh road" said Mr.. Naylor today
an injunction suit will be brought
against it. On the west side of the
bridge the road would go through a
sand bar for three-quarters of a mile.
The expense of maintaining the road
would fall on Tecumseh township and
it may be very heavy-in fact, we could
not maintain a good road through there
at any cost-One that a farmer could
haul fifty bushels of potatoes over.
I have assurance from the township
trustee that $4O0 or $500 would be given
if the bridge is placed down on the
GooddeH road. That would be lust
even with First avenue, and nearly ev-
eryOne would come as far south as
Fourth street to get into the city, so it
would not make them go out of their
way We are opposed to building the
bridge up on the Pugh road under any
circumstances

today filed a civil action against John H.
Oakley, who covered Topeka and contig-
uOus territory for several years as the
company's travelling man, to recover 81
675 which it claims is due it from Oakley.
The company had Oakley prosecuted for
embezzlement a few weeks ago, but he
was acquitted. His defense was that the
money which the company was trying to
force him to pay was given to customers
in rebates to avoid violating the rules of
the trusts on trust-Hads goods.
