PRESIDENT BAKERS PLEA
Wants Cyclists Prevented From Rid
ing Between Street Car Tracks

c. c. Baker. president Of the street
railway, has asked the mayor and the
city council to pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting bicycle riders from riding be-
tween the car tracks on West Sixth av-
enue. Mr.. Baker says that the bicyclists
ride between the tracks on that street
because the road is too rough for them
and that they are in constant danger of
being run over by the cars. The street
car company is not anxious to become
entangled in law suits over the death
Of bicyclsts, and wants the council to
pass the ordinance in order that should
any bicycle rider fall while riding be-
tween the tracks and be killed BY the
car the company would stand a better
show to win the case in court.
The matter will come up before the
next regular meeting of the council, but
1t is not at all likely that the ordinance
will be passed

CITY BOWLING LEAGUE
Steps to Be Taken Tonight to Organize
One.

The bowlers of Topeka will meet this
evening at the Topeka Athletic associ-
alton rooms to discuss and lay plans for
the bowling season.
There is a movement on foot to or
ganize a city ten-pin league, which will
consist of a team of five men from each
Of the following organizations, the Y NJ.
c. A, the Topeka Athletic association
and the Turner's.
A series of games would be scheduled
to be played by these teams in the city
As each of the organizations named
have fine bowling alleys there would be
no trouble on the score of not having a.
place to play.
Last year Topeka made a good show
ing in the Inter-city League, and pro-
vided the league is again formed this
year the best players in the city ten
pin league would be chosen a S a team
to represent Topeka when other cities
were to be met.
Bowling is a popular game in the west
and has gained a firm foothold in To-
peka as well as a number Of other cities
in this section. The meeting tonight it
is anticipated will be an enthusiastic one
and win be well attended by all the
bowlers of the city.
1t is requested that all bowlers,
whether they are members of either of
the associations named or not, attend
the meeting.
Topeka bowlers want to make the
coming season an eventful one, and per-
haps be so fortunate as to carry off the
championship.
Duck pins win probably also be
played. Duck pins is comparatively a
new game in the west. 1t is played al
most exclusively in the east and the
New England states however. During
the season last winter it was played
quite successfully here and some very
good scores were made. Since that time
it has been gaining in popularity. Law
renee and number Of other cities have
also taken it up where 1T has grown to
be quite popular
Some of the good players in the last
years teams were David Gossett, w. A.
Morton, Chas. Stewart, Andrew Smith.
Delbert Kirkpatrick and Harry Wolfe.
They will all undoubtedly join the city
league again this year and possibly may
find places on the team which will rep
resent the city in the Inter-city League.
Kansas City, Lawrence. St. Joseph and
Topeka constituted the Inter-city League
last year. which viii possibly be prac
tically the same this year.

AMERICAS LEAD IN IRON.

The treasury bureau of statistics has
Just issued commercial monograph on
the iron and steel trade OF the United
States, treating of the resources Of this
industry, its development, and its rela-
tons to the domestic and foreign mar
kets.
The United States is now the worlds
greatest producer of iron and steel and
coal. as well as of copper, cotton, bread
stuffs. provisions, and many other arti-
Giles entering into the daily requirements
of man.
In a comparative survey of the worlds
iron ore situation the fact is brought
duced 80 per cent of the worlds ore, or
10000 600 tons out of a total Of $4,000, 600
tons. in round numbers. This quantity
is somewhat less than the combined ore
output of both Great Britain and Ger
many including Luxembourg, which pro
duced respectively II per cent and 81
per cent. of the worlds ore supply. This
alone gives the United States the leader
ship among the worlds great ore pro-
ducers; but this fact must be taken in
connection with coal production on
which the iron industry depends and Of
which this country produces 80 per cent
of the worlds output, while Great Brit
ain produces 80 per cent. and Germany
10 per cent
With primacy in coal and iron ore
the position Of the United States is one
of undisputed and permanent ascend
ancy in her control Of the raw mate
rails OF iron and steel production. This
primacy IN raw materials gives the

NEW VOTING PRECINCT.
It is West of Topeka and is Called
Hartsock Precinct"

A new voting precinct has been estab-
lished in Topeka township west of To-
peka to be known as the Hartsock pre-
cinct.
The new precinct will be used by those
voting from the insane asylum and
few voters who live outside of any other
precincts. Heretofore the asylum en-
ployes have voted at the Sutherin pre-
cinct and the people owning property
and living in the precinct have not felt
kindly toward the asylum crowd. The
asylum casts enough votes to control the
precinct and the resident voters there
object to outsiders controlling their cleo
tions. The new arrangement will allow
the asylum votes to be cast and viii
obviate the unpleasantness that has ex-
listed in the precinct.

STARTS WITH A COLD.
catarrI1 is a Lingering Cold which Re-
fuses to Yield TO Ordinary Treatment.

Catarrh usually starts with cold IN
the head and if left unchecked in this
climate, rarely gets well Of itself.
AS fresh cold is taken the disease
spreads, getting deeper and deeper,
creeping along the mucous membranes
from nose to throat, from throat to
windpipe, from windpipe to bronchial
tubes and frombronchial tubes to lung
cells.
The mucous membranes all connect.
one with another. Hence it is easy to
spread from one part to another lined
with this same membrane. This is why
catarrh in the head soon affects the
throat and finally the stomach itself,
bringing on chronic catarrh of the stom-
ach, which is a most obstinate form Of
dyspepsia
Everybody is now well agreed that ca
tarrh is a blood disease and not a local
one, and the attempt to cure by local
applications simply gives temporary re-
lief from the purely local SYMPTOMS with
out the remotest effect in staying the
progress of the disease
There IS a new preparation recently
offered to the public that is apparently
destined to do away with every other
form of catarrh treatment.
This new remedy is not a secret pat
ent medicine, but is a large, pleasant
tasting tablet composed of Sanguinaria
EucalyptOl, GuaiacOl, HydraStin and
other valuable and harmless specifics,
which are taken internally and seem to
have remarkably beneficial effect up
On Inc DlOOO ana mucous mem DraneS,
apparently eliminating the catarrhal
poison from the whole system
These tablets while being pleasant
convenient and absolutely safe to use
have made cures in long standing cases
of catarrh that are little short of mar
velous- They are sold by druggists IN
der name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
and any catarrh sufferer who has tried
inhalers, lotions. ointments, salves ETC.
and realized their inconvenience and
uselessness, will fully appreciate the diff
ference between mere palliative and a
permanent cure after giving Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets an impartial trial
All druggists sell them at 50 cents for
full sized package and no matter where
the catarrh is located, in the head
throat, lungs or stomach, Stuart's ca
tarrh Tablets will surprise you with the
effective results of even a few days use.
