WHERE THE REAL CREDIT BELONGS

Great credit has been given the allied
generals in China for prompt action in
saving the Americans at Pekin, but the
credit of saving thousands of American
citizens dragged down in health to
deaths door by the long trying months
of the hot weather belongs to the prompt
action of Dandelion Bitters. The quick
est acting and most satisfactory gen.
eral system tonic ever made.
Indigestion, liver and kidney troubles,
low malarial fevers, dizziness, fainting
spells, melancholy, poor appetite, sleep
lessness, all indicate a dangerous condi-
ton of the system, which requires an
immediate toning up to prevent some Of
the contagious diseases. Dandelon Bit
ters disests your food, and is the best
tonic known. Especially recommended
for all female troubles and for mothers
worn out with the care of nursing baby.
It makes sick people well. Try it now and
be CONVINCED. ]. P Allen, Dockum g.

FOR A NEW ADDITION
Survey Is Made for Lots in
South Wichita
LOCATED NEAR CITY PARK
Is First Proposed Addition for
Several Years.

For the first time in perhaps ten years,
an addition to the city Of Wichita has
been surveyed and a plat of the same is
being made by County Surveyor Ransom
II Brown. The tract is in the south
part of the city and adjoins the city's
new park on the south. The addition
will ne known as the Good and Cline
addition and will contain twenty-five lots.
eleven facing on Topeka avenue ana
eleven fronting on Lawrence avenue.
The tract has been owned by the TWO
gentlemen for some time, in fact since
the boom and they preferred to let II
remained without being surveyed into
until the property in Wichita Should
reach a higher value for residences. some
time ago, the city council determined to
have another park and the portion on
the north block, was purchased for this
nurnose. This was done through the
efforts of Mayor Ross and Councilman
Parkhurst from that ward and after the
securing of the park the owners Of the
other portion Of the property conceived
the idea of having the lots surveyed and
plated.
The ground extends north from Zim-
merly street to the city's new acquisition.
For several years the ground has remain
ed INTENDED with the exception of per-
haps of some small garden patches and
the visitor TO that portion of the city al
ways asked why houses were never
erected on that ground.
Very few people realized that it had
never been surveyed into lots and sup
posed that it had been owned by eastern
parties who had purchased the land dur
ing the boom and did not care to sell it
until property values advanced
The matter of placing the new addition
in the city will probably be made within
the next few days. There Is one fact,
however, which makes the proceedings
very peculiar and that is that the tract
OF land is entirely surrounded by city
property. 1t seems strange to take new
lots into the city when it is surrounded

THE RIGHT THING.
A Ne W Catarrh Cure, Which LIS Rap
idly Coming to the Front.

For several years, Eucalyptol, Guaiacol
and 3 -ydrastin have been recognized as
standa I'd remedies for catarrhal troubles.
but III ey have always been given sepa-
ratelyi and only very recently an ingen-
ious chemist succeeded in combining
them, together with other antiseptics into
a plea ant, effective tablet
Drugl lists sell the remedy under the
name Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and 1t
has ms with remarkable success in the
cure Of nasal catarrh, bronchial and
throat catarrh and in catarrh of the
stomach
Mr.. q N. Benton. whose address is
care ot Clark House. Troy, n. Y, says:
When run up against anything that is
good I like to tell people of it have
for som time. Last winter more than
ever. I ried several so-caIled cures, but
did not t;et any benefit from them. About
six weel IS ago 1 bought so cent box
OF StuaI It's Catarrh Tablets and I am
glad to say that they have done wonders
for me and do not hesitate to let all
my frieia ads know that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are the right thing.
Mr.. Geo ]. Casanova Of Hotel Griffon
West stii street New York city. writes: 1
have commenced using stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and already they have given me
better results than any catarrh cure I
have ever tried.
A leading physician of Pittsburg ad-
vises the use of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets in preference to any other treatment
for catarrh of the head, throat or stom-
ach.
He claims they are far superior to in
halers; saives, lotions or powder, and are
much more convenient and pleasant to
take and are so harmless that little
children take them with benefit as they
contain no opiate, cocaine or any poison
Gus drug.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at 80 cents for full sized pack
age and they are probably the safest and
most relGahSe cure for any form of

MONDAY
P0STMAs1cER GENERAL SMITH
COMEs To WICHITA.
Big Meeting Of Campaign in Auditor
ium at Night.

On next Monday night at the Audi
forum will be held one of the largest
meetings OF the present campaign The
speakers wall be Charles Emory Smith,
postmaster general from Washington,
and ]. NJ Dunsmore Of this state. Mr..
Smith will arrive in the city Monday
night and will have the latter part Of the
evening, Mr. Dunsmore speaking thirty
minutes at the opening.
Charles Emory Smith is one Of the
most brilliant speakers in the west dur
ing the campaign. He has been in WITCH
tia. He had a large audience and every
person who heard him at that time will,
ii possible, hear him again. He IS brainy.
He is in touch with the admins
And he realizes the Importance of what
he talks of to his audiences. No man
better informed on the national ques-
tons comes to this city and the person
who wishes informal ton presented in a
splendid manner can have perfect salts
faction in hearing Mr. Smith.
Mr.. Smith is a Pennsylvania. He came
from state that has many sons in this
city. The old soldiers with their cease
less enthusiasm will be present and they
will forget their age and scars as the
speaker graphically pictures the present
situation.
The young mems organizat tons of this
city will be present. They are filed with
enthusiastic young men and they know
when they are pleased. Mr.. Smith will
be pleased to see them, for he realizes
the position of the young man in this
nation. Not only will the organizations
of this city be present, but those of the
surrounding portions of the county They
are anxious to hear the speaker. and for
that reason they are coming as an organ
ization and viii help swell the crowd at
the Auditorium.
j. NJ DUnsmore, perhaps known as the
Bald Hornet" will have the thirty min
utes at the opening of the meeting, and
what he will say won't be tame. Duns-
more is posted on Kansas politics and
litical situation that the local politician
never dreamed of. He was in the legis-
lature and TO think of him in that con-
nection brings out the thought of what
happened the year when he presided as
speaker Of the house Of representatives.
The combination Of the two will make
an evening that will be long remembered
yesterday, 'I heard Smith when he was
here before and I would not miss hear
ing him again if could possibly get to
the place of speaking. This is the -senti-
ment of others. tSEss-' $3.50 -

condition. These two elevens have met

day will be closely watched by their
friends. Last season the airmount boys
played the Wellington team to stand
still and those people have an idea that
they would take the next game from the
Paramount boys. The Fairmounters,
however. have a different idea and the
result Of today will cause hard work for
both teams.
