This Dread Disease.

Common sense treatment demands that

1t is at this point that the tonic effects
of Mason's Dyspepsia Tablets are remark
able
They cure-that's the vital feature-cure
absolutely. But-they encourage the func-
tions of the system TO normal action.
They sustain-you can lean little on
them-until you stand erect, and then you
don't want any more of Mason's Dyspepsia
Cure, or any other remedy.
That's another point When you have
done with Masons Dyspepsia Cure you're
entirely done.
You are not compelled to continue their
use to maintain the good which they have

MEXICAN MONEY ORDERS.
The First Drafts Under the New
Agreement Received.

The first money order drafts ever sent
from Mexico addressed to persons in the
United States have reached the Postoffice
Department. In amount they aggregate
$1,000. They are issued by the Mexican
Postal Department under the terms of an
agreement with this country which went
into effect January 1.
Accompanying them are a request for
set of American blanks Chat the American
system may be introduced in Mexicol and
a letter written in uncertain English
representing that the working classes of
Mexico are sure to be much benefited by
the new system.
Every year, say the American officials,
great number of Mexican laborers find
work in the South and cross the border
to make homes in this country. These men
have found it difficult to send their fami-
lies money to come to the United States.
The chief value of the mutual service is
that it will make safe the transmission of
funds for this purpose.

KANSAS OPPORTUNITY.

In an address made by Governor
John a. Martin, he said:
THE bone-hunter and the buffalo
hunter of the plains, the Indian and his
reservation, the Jawhawkers and the
Wild Bills, the Texas steer and the cow
boys, the buffalo grass and the dug
outs, the loneliness and intensity of the
unpeopled prairies, the infinite stretch
ing of the plains-unbroken by tree or
shrub, by fence or house-aH these have
vanished or rapidly diminishing In
their stead has come, and come to stay.
an aggressive. energetic cultured, sober,
law-respecting civilization. Labor-sav-
ing machines sweep majestically
through fields of golden wheat or
sprouting corn; b1ooded stock lazily feed
in meadows of blue-stem, timothy or
clover; comfortable houses dot every
hilltop and valley; forest, orchards and
hedge-rows diversity the loneliness of
the landscape; and where isolation and
wildness brooded, the majestic lyric of
prosperous industry is echoing over 81
600 square miles of the loveliest and
most fertile country that the sun in his
daily journey, lights and warns. The
voiceless sphinx of 30 years ago has be-
come the whispering gallery Of the con-
tinent. The oppressed territory of 1856

prince, ruling the markets of the world
with opulent harvests. The growth of
Kansas is a theme that has always en-
listed my interest and excited my pride.
But I cannot hope to present any ade-
quate picture of the Kansas you know

your faith; the imperial young state, at

AN INGALLS, 1DYL.

A short time ago, the following paper
was found in John ]. Ingalls, desk: it
refers to a visit to the site of his old
home on the river bluff in Atchison,
burned many years ago:
WAS it on this planet we lived alone
and loved in youths enchanted king
dom, amid the forests and by the great
lonely river, looking with mingled gaze
at the eastern bluffs purpled by the au-
tumnal sunset, or at the wan face of the
moon climbing with sad steps the mid
night sky. or was it on some remote star
in some other life, recalled with rapture
and longing unutterable and unavail-
ing? oh, death in life; the days that
are no more
THE erumbling excavation scarce dis
cernible among the vines and weeds
and brambles, deserted and inaccessible.
ancient as Palmyra or Persepolis in
seeming, was this the theater wherein
was enacted the intoxicating drama, the
sweet tragedy of human passion, grief.
joy and endless separation? Since then,
what devious wanderings of the soul;
what darkened vistas; what trepida-
ton; what struggle and solace; what
achievement and defeat; what splendor
and what gloom.
THE river flows. and the landscape
is unchanged. Nature mocls with her
permanence the mutability of man; and
in that steadfast presence recalling
LIES vanished glory. and bloom. and
dew Of morning, how worthless and
empty appear all that time gives com
pared with what it bears insatiably
away. How gladly would we exchange

wealth. for the splendid conservation OF
youth-sWild with all regret, the days
that are no more"

ARTISTS MAKE MISTAKES.

The artists who illustrate the articles
in the magazines generally produce pic
lures that are at least pleasing to the
eye and which are supposed to be ac-
curate.
A recent article on Daniel Webster, IL
Illustrated by a we'll known artist. shows
Daniel at about the age of 1e sitting in
his fathers sawmill industriously study
ing a book. Daniel to all appearances
is dressed in the garb of the time; the
sawmill is of the kind typical to New
Hampshire where Daniel Webster's
father lived. The circular saw is eat
ing its way through a large log. Moth
ing strange about a circular saw divid-
ing a log. Nothing strange that Daniel
sat in the mill and read. But it is
strange that at the time Daniel was 10
years of age, which was in 1883, that he
should be in a mill with a circular saw,
as circular saws were not in use in New
Hampshire for many years after that
date They did not come into use gen
orally until after one was successfully
used in Portsmouth in 1904. The artist
got the time Of Daniel Webster's boy
hood wrong.

WArERwoRKs SITUATION.

Mayor Drew has announced that there
is little hope of a settlement of the wa
terworls controversy by purchasing the
plant. In fact the mayor has come to
think. and the evidence is rather strong
in support of his opinion. that the city
has been led on a wild goose chase. The
mayor has discovered that Expert Cole
who acted for the water company in
the appraisement of the plant is presi-
dent of a water company in Iowa and is
interested in various other water plants.
1t is therefore not surprising that he
should discover that the going value"
Of the Topeka water plant is worth more
than $200, 000 He is interested in the
business and knows that franchise in
Topeka is a most valuable concession.
Mr.. Cole insisted upon a copy Of the
estimate made by Engineer F7ouett, the
representative of the city in the APP
praisement, before he would send his
estimate to the city This in itself looks
suspicious. What could have been Mr..
Coles object in refusing to turn in his
figures without seeing the estimate made
by Engineer Toilette
Has it been the plan of the water
company to create a division which may
prolong the controversy over the time
when the franchise expires and the city
a new one? Failing for any reason to
purchase the plant or build a new one
the ordinance provides that the fran
chise must be extended by the city coun-
Gil. There is a question whether the
provision is valid but it is there and the
water company may rely upon that
fact for the prolongation Of an existence
which is decidedly pleasant and rennun-
erative.
Every one must realize that the water
company does not propose to give up
without a struggle. The concession is
too valuable to surrender if it can be
held by any means, and the people must
be on their guard. They have decided
by an overwhelming vote that the peo-
pie must own the water supply system,
and the means is simply a secondary
matter. If it is necessary to build
plant in order to realize the intent of
the tax payers, then it should be done.
The people have said that they are
willing that $4,000 should be paid for
a water supply system for Topeka
Competent engineers have said that a
new plant can be built for the amount
voted If a new one can be built for
that sum it would appear like folly to
pay the New Jersey corporation a larger
sum for their old plant
If the old water company thinks that
it is going to get two or three hundred
thousand dollars from the citizens Of
Topeka fol. the going value of the
water plant or for the franchise which
they have held for twenty years by the
grace of the people Of the city, the pre-
sumption is that they will be very much

EDUCATION OF INDIANS.

1t will surprise some people who think
that the American Indian is the most
wronged creature in the United States
to learn from the report of the commits
sioner of Indian affairs to the secretary
of the interior. that the present number
of red men is substantially the same as
it was thirty years ago when the first
count Of Indians was made This Off
cial points out that any decrease since
1870 is due to the admission of Indians
to citizenship. not to the diminutfon of
the birth rate or an increased percent
age Of mortality among the tribes
Out Of the 100000 600 spent by the gov
eminent on the. 26T, 900 Indians within
the borders Of this country last year,
about one-third was devoted to educa-
tional purposes. Tt is evident that as
this item increases in proportion to ex-
penditure, the Indian problem gets
nearer its final solution. The vicious
phases Of our Indian policy are the prac-
tees of distributing free rations and the
expenditure of over a million and half
dollars in annuities There are over
thirty-three million dollars on deposit

SUPPRESS THE GARBAGE MAN

For six months residents in the west
ern suburbs of the city have pleaded,
besieged and struggled with the city
sanitary department in an effort to pre-
vent hucksters and drivers of garbage
wagons from using the low ground
for dumping ground, de-
posting there all manner of
in the alleys in other parts of the city
One day last summer in response to
the frequently registered complaints a
policeman. representing the sanitary de-
partment, spent a few hours in the mid
die of the day watching for an offender.
Men who drive these wagons do not
work in the heat of the day many of
them doing most of their business at
night The policeman saw no one and
so reported. Since that time no atten-
ton has been paid to the complaints.
There was a time when the offenders
made an effort to unload their wagons
in the gutter, but now they stop and
dump the contents of theirwagDns in the
middle Of the road. These piles of refuse
have frightened horses, old and young,
and only this week &, Topeka woman,
driving in phaeton with two friends,
had a narrow. escape from death, the
horse overturning the buggy, after TAX
ing fright at one of these unsightly piles
in the road. Had not a man on a bicycle
been able to reach the horse before the
plucky driver was thrown out and COM
PEELED to release the lines, the lady
would have been dragged to death under
the phaeton.
The Twelfth street road is also used
as a dumping ground. The people in the
vicinity who regularly pay their share
of taxes towards the maintenance of the
city government have protested and de-
manded some relief from the imposi-
tions of these irresponsible garbage
haulers. but nothing has been done.
In an unusual manifestation of energy
the department had warning signs nail
ed on boards and stuck in the piles of
refuse already there The next day the
men for whom these signs were intend
ed, drove up and buried them under
loads from their wagons
The sanitary department makes
man clean up his alley but does not pre-
vent the refuse so obtained from being
dumped under the very noses Of people
who live on and use public street, pay
taxes and cry for relief.
There is a place where garbage may
be burned as it should be-

THAT NoN-PoLIr1cAL cHURCH

There is a movement among the nom
church going crowd to start a new
church in Topeka. the excuse being that
the other churches have gone into poll
tics. Just what benefit these men would
derive from a non-sectarian, non-politi-
cal, non-anythin -that-is church is diff
cult to conceive.
A man who is acquainted with the
people who advocate opera house
churches laughs in his sleeve. Who
ever heard of an opera house church
which was success? Who ever saw a
man who was benefited, mentally or
morally, by one of the so-calied
churches? Is there any earnestness in
the faces Of the people who attend
these Churches? Has there ever been
any good come out of them? Is there
a member of one of these churches who
is a real Christian that did not receive
his training in one of the so-called po-
litical churches?
There never was more absurd propo-
sition made in the city than the estab-
lishment of a nom sectarian, non-politi-
cal Church" The men who made the
suggestion should act as deacons or
elders and raise the funds with which
to employ a preacher" They will do
their work for the sake of doing good.
for good is the object of their move
ment, and they will not devote their
time and energies to tearing down the
established churches in the city.
The object of a church is to do good.
Is that the object of the suggested
opera house church? If not, the move
ment will fail. for it will not have the
moral support of the community
