HE HAUNTs ZEE.
Miss Minerva Edwards Annoyed by
Charles Frankard.

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 5.-The police
have Charles Frankard in the tolls again
and are puzzled on the subject of wha-
should be done with him. Frankard is
the man who has been arrested times
without number during the past year for
annoying Miss Minerva Edwards with
his attentions. Miss Edwards live with
her parents in Armourdale and Frank
ard used to board at their home.
Miss Edwards caused Frankard's ar
rest last night, when he, in company
with a colored man, stopped her and a
lady friend on their way from church
and attempted to engage them in con-
versation. Asked who his colored friend
was, F'rankard said in police court:
He is 4 Christian man, and / took
him along as a witness that 1 did not
say anything out of the way to this dear
little girl here. I love her and she used
to love me, but her family has estranged
that love, and are now trying to perSe-
cute me. They are my enemies, but [
can not be an enemy to them because
the Scriptures forbid it. 1 have been di-
rected by a higher and greater Spirit
than this court to watch over and care
for this young lady. She belongs to me
by all rights of a divine law"
The case has been brought to the at
tention of Probate Judge Snyder, but he
declares that he has no Jurisdiction be-
cause Frankard lives in Missouri. The
Missouri authorities, in turn, will not
bother with him because they say he is
harmless and causes them no trouble
Judge MECHANISM fined F'rankard 500
and sent him to the rock pile, remark
ing:
HE is better off there than running at
large. We will hold him until he has
been in jail long enough to be a citizen
of the state, then the probate court can

MUSCLE AND NOT FAT.
What Thin People Need to Round
Off the Corners.

what thin folks need is flesh or
muscle. not fat
To be symmetrical and properly pro-
portiOned every person should have
certain amount of excess flesh, but to
be plump does not necessarily mean to
be fat
Fat is undesirable: it clogs and re-
tards the action of the muscles, inter-
feres with the healthy action of the
heart and lungs and when very Excess
Eive, predisposes to fatty degeneration
discomfort resulting from too much
adipose tissue
Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
the thing most needed would be flesh
forming food that is, albuminous foods
like eggs, beef. oatmeal, etc.
The kinds of food which make flesh
are the foods we have on our tables
every day; but the trouble is that our
stcmachs from weakness or derange-
1nent of some kind do not promptly and
properly digest it.
Really the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their
EtOmachs do not properly and complete
y digest and assimilate the flesh form
ing beefsteak and eggs we eat every
day.
There are thousands of such people,
and they are really dyspeptics although
they may not suffer any particular pain
or inconvenience from their StomachS-
If such persons and all thin people,
would take after their meals some sim
pie and natural digestive, like Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be
quickly digested and the proper degree
of plumpnesS very soon result because
these tablets are prepared exactly for
that purpose. They digest every varie-
" of flesh forming food, which is the
real reason why they so quickly build
up and strengthen thin, dyspeptic men
and women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every
form Of Indigestion on this common
sense plan. that they thOrOu ghly digest
the food promptly, giving strength to
every nerve and organ in the body, and
the weakened stomach a chance to rest
and recover its natural vigor. Nothing
further is required to cure any stomach
trouble, except cancer of the stomach
They make thin, dySpeptic people strong,
plump and well.
This excellent preparation is sold so
cts for full sized treatment by all drug
gists in United States, Canada and
Great Britain.

Killed a Big Eagle.

J. R. Lyman shot big game last Fri
day morning. He saw a very large bird
pick up a jac6rabbit and leisurely fly
to the timber and perch itself on top
of a big tree to eat the fresh meat.
Taking his trusty fowling piece and
stealing up close enough for a sure shot
he brought it down the first time. J. X.
knew it was the biggest bird he had
ever killed, but he did not know what
kind of a bird it was, so he brought it
to town, and a number of people pro-
nounced it a black eagle. 1t measured
six feet and three inches from tip to
tfp of wings. 1t was purchased by A.
S Howard, who sent 1t to Prof Dyche.
of Lawrence. to be stuffed and mounted.

Atchison, Kas., Dec. 5.-Douglass Re-
neer a. laborer, is on trial in the Atchi-
son district court charged with killing
Cal. T. Oathout and James Burtchett on
June 3, 1900.
The killing was the result of a. quarrel

and several others were engaged in
drinking a, key of beer in a grove just
outside the limits of Atchison. During
the quarrel Reneer was called a Scab
and there was a scuffie. Reneer then
went to his home, almost a half mile
away, and procuring a double barreled
shotgun, returned and did the shooting.
Oathout and Burtchett were unarmed
and were sitting or lying on the ground
when Reneer appeared with the gun and
commenced shooting. Only two shots
We're fired, but Oathout and Burtchett
were instantly killed.
A jury was secured in two hours and
the examination of witnesses is in

got Joe McCord to cash a check for
$12.1S. 1t was apparently drawn by the
above company on the First National
bank of Chicago, and was payable to
James Lee, which was one Of the names
the fellow went by. The stranger also
passed a check for exactly the same
amount on Bereman & Ritner. At both

YA1Es cAPTA1NcY IN DOUBT
Perry Hale Is Regarded as n ost Like
" Successor to Cor don Brown.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 5.-There is
much speculation as to who will succeed
Gordon Brown as football captain at
Yale. For some time past the name of
Perry Hale, the fullback has been
prominently mentioned in this connec-
ton. Since the Harvard game the
names of several other players have
been put forward and it is likely that
Hale will have a number Of rivals when
the election takes place.
There is just one objection to Hale,
and this is that he is a postgraduate
student. Yale has never had any luck
under postgraduate leaders. She lost
when Charley Gill was captain, and
also when Burr Chamberlin was in
charge. For this reason there is a su-
perstition against post-graduates as
captains. Both Gill and Chamberlain
were great players, but both were poor
captains Both returned to college after
they had graduated, just as Hale did.
and entered the postgraduate school
Hale graduated from the scientific
school last June and is now taking
two years course in civil engineering.
For many reasons he is the most eligible
man for the captaincy. owing to his ex-
perience IS a player and to his ability
upon the gridiron.

Instead, l shall walk up to the gentle
man, and, purely for commercial rea-
sons, ask him to give me the $500 he
still owes me for preparing and sec
onding him for the fight with Corbett.
I said of Mr.. JeffrieS that he was all
out, that he was on the verge of phys

off L said that Bob F'itzsimmons can
lick him. I repeat that FitzsimmOnS,
properly conditioned and coached, can

meet Mr.. Jeffries said that he would
like to see me handle Fitzsimmons if
he (Jeffries) and Fitz ever came to-
gether. I may do that much, even, and
if I do, 1 shall have bit of money on
Fitz. The truth of the matter is that
/ don't believe you could coax JeffrieS
to meet Corbett again, let along F'itz.
Corbett, for the twenty-three rounds
the battle lasted. made a monkey of
Jefries, and If he had evaded that right
to the jaw in the tWenty-third round
Corbett must have won the fight as he
