clashed and after deal of talking, as
neither would give in, the subject was

O'ROurke was positive that Sharkey
would only agree to & clean break, and
Brady was just as emphatic in saying
Jeffries would not agree to it. He also
remarked that if SharlSey would not

ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
Even Bright's Disease is No Longer
Regarded as Hopeless.

If you are suffering from kidney, blad-
der or uric acid trouble, and have de-
SPARED of getting help, you should try
Swanp-Root, the great kidney remedy
Every reader of the Topeka State Jour
nal may obtain a. sample bottle free by
mail, so you may test it for yourself
and fully realize the truth of what your
friends and fellow citizens say as re-
CARDS its marvellous efficacy and worth.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has been
tried and tested by thousands who
stand high in this community. II is not
recommended for everything, but if you
have kidney, bladder or uric acid trouble
it will be found just the remedy you
need. 1t brings back the rosy flush of
health and strength; it is a purifier and
rebuilder, and is a boon to the weak
and ailing.
To be confronted suddenly with the
knowledge that Bright's disease had
hold of one was, at one time, equivalent
to hearing a death warrant read; but
today, thanks to the discoveries of sci
ence and the researches of DR. Kilmer
no case is entirely hopeless. Even those
in advanced stages have been rescued
and life prolonged by Swamp-Root.
This great remedy is purely vegetable
and contains nothing that could harm
the most delicate child. 1t is pleasant
to take and the regular 50-cent and one
doller sizes are sold by all druggists.
Send your name and adde's to Dr.
Kilmer & Co, BinghamptOn, N. Y, and
a sample bottle and a book telling all
about Swamp-Root and its wonderful
cures will be sent to you free.

which I can see now. 1 forced the fight
ing and that was playing the game he
wanted, for all he did was either to
keep away from me or try to break my
back over the ropes. Do you call that
fighting? I don't. Jeffries is a great,
big, strong fellow, and what he ought
to be doing is wrestling with men like
Yousouf and Olsen. If Corbett had had
more steam behind his blows he would
have made Jeffries look like an anna

May 31-The event of the week OBJ
served with great rejoicing throughout
the empire, has been the imperial we'd
ding of Crown Prince YoShihito and
Princess Sada Ko, which was celebrated
at the capital on the 10th instant. Not
since the extraordinary display of Jap
anese patriotism on the day of the pro-
mitigation of the constitution, with per-
haps the single exception of the return
of the emperor after the victorious Chi
nese campaign, has there been such a
house.
The ceremony iself, to which great
significance is attached, as being a COM
plete innovation upon the usual impe-
rial customs, took place in the imperial
sanctuary at the palace. Clothed in the
o1d-tine ceremonial robes, the prince,

the sacred sword: the princess, con-
Quoted by master of ceremonies and

branches. The prince recited the mar

the sacred sake. At this moment the
thirteen great warships anchored in the
bay fired the imperial salute of ten
guns. This elaborate ceremonial is
commented upon by the native press as
of great significance. inasmuch as it
enhances for the whole nation the sane

TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED.
Concerning Method of Curing Dys-
nenSia and Stomach Troubles

Dyspepsia and indigestion are consid-
cred incurable by many people who do
not realize the advance madeiin modern
medical science, and because by the old
methods and remedies a cure was rare
ly, if ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as
any other disease.
What the dyspeptic wants is album
dant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, we'll cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it, This is exactly the purpose
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are adapted and this is the method by
which they cure the worst cases Of
Dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for
him In this way the system is nourish-
ed and the overworked stomach rested,
because the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not One
Of these tablets will digest 5000 grains

Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a remedy
sold on its merits and is the purest,
safest and cheapest remedy sold for
stomach troubles and every trial makes
one more friend for this excellent pre-
