It depends upon the condition Of his

VICTORY IN DEFEAT.

The nomination of Richard Yates for
governor Of Illinois by the Republicans
closes, for the time, one of the most bit
ter struggles in the history Of that party
in the state. 1t was a victory for Gov
ernor Tanner although the first choice
of the present executive was Judge
Hanecy of Chicago. But with Tanner
and Tanners friends it was anything to
beat Senator Cullom who favored wal
ter Reeves.
To make the situation plain it must
be known that there We're four candi-
dates for the nomination. Judge
Haneey and Judge Carter of
Chicago and Walter Reeves and
Richard Yates from the country.
Judge Hanecy was the choice of Gov
ernor Tanner and was styled the ma

could be exerted and all the pressure. of

HAS AN OSTRICH FARM.
Phoenix, Ariz., Chosen as Location
Will Feed Birds on Alfalfa.

Deadwood, S. D, May 1o.-Old friends
of A. z Pearson have received word
from him about his proposed ostrich
farm at Phoenix, Ariz. Pearson
brought the first theatrical troop to this
city during the great Carbonate boom
in 1886 He made a fortune in the bust
ness here, and the wealth he now has
came principally from Black Hills in
vestments. Pearson states that he has
purchased about 300 ostriches, which are
with the exception of about 100 birds,
in the circuses and geological gardens,
all that are to be found in the United
States. Phoenix, Ariz.. has been chosen
for the breeding farm, where several
acres of pasture land sOwed to alfalfa
has been purchased. Pearson will in
crease the ostrich flock by means Of
the incubator. and he will feed the
chicks on a straight diet of alfalfa,
upon which they thrive.
The birds will be pastured the same
as horses. Pearson states that he has
expended about 100000 on his pur-
chases. and that he will probably re-
alize $50 a year from each matured
ostrich. He will have the benefit of
the 5O-cent tariff on feathers and the
Cape Town export tariff of $500 a bird.

A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Good Digestion.

This is almost an axiom although
usually we are apt to think that COS
metics face powders, lotions, fancy
soaps, etc, are the secrets for securing
a clear complexion. But all these are
simply superficial assistants
1t is impossible to have a good com
plexion unless the digestive organs per-
form their work properly, unless the
stomach by properly digesting the food
taken into it furnishes an abundance
Of pure blood, a good complexion is i'm
possible.
This is the reason so many ladies are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they promptly cure any stomach
trouble and they have found out that
perfect digestion means a perfect COM
plexion and one that does not require
cosmetics and powders to enhance its
beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles Of food solely
in order to keep their complexion clear.
When StUart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
used no such dieting is necessary. Take
these tablets and eat all the good
wholesome food you want and you
need have no fear Of indigestion nor
the sallow, dull complexion which nine
women out of ten have, solely because
they are suffering from some form of
indigestion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds
from good health, good health results
from perfect digestion, and we have ad-
vanced the best argument to induce
every man and woman to give this
splendid remedy a trial
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found in drug stores and cost but SO
cents per package.
If there is any arrangement of the
stomach or bowels they will remove IT
and the resultant effects are good di-
gestion, good health and a clear, bright
complexion.

ant, but the real purpose of the suits
was to serve garnishment papers on
the members of the order who might be
indebted to BouslOg.
The Topeka lodge of Elks has mem
bership Of about 225, and on the list are
some of the prominent citizens Of To-
peka. Bouslog, as steward of the club,
served meals and lunches, and sold
cigars and various refreshments to the
members Many of the members ran
bills with him, and in this way they be-
came indebted to him. These are the
ones on whom garnishment papers were
served today by Bouslog's creditors.
Among the suits which have been
filed against Bouslog are by Charles
Eagle, for $3.50; William Green q
Sons, for S94.S0; Hub Clothing COM
pany, for 5000; and RoWIey q SNOW
for 81. As.
Mrs. Bouslog is still in Topeka, and
she claims that if the members who
were owing her husband had paid up
he would not have been compelled to
leave the city as he did. 1t is claimed
that various members owed the steward
all the way from % cents to $45, and
that he carried them as long as he
could and then skipped out.
Mrs. Bouslog refused to have much to
say about the affair today
''The Elks have not treated US right,
she said but 1 don't want to say any
thing about it for a few days. If they
had paid up what they owed Mr.. Bous-
log ne cOulU nave pau Ills oSOto-
Bouslog's friends also claim that the
house committee collected enough of
what was owing Bouslog to pay several
of his bills, among them an ice" bill
to the Moesers for $99. and bills at some
of the drug stores. This amount of
money, it is said, would purchase about
"a tons of ice.
Bouslog was employed by the Elks to
look after the club. and he purchased
all the supplies for running it in his own
name. Then each individual member
paid Bouslog for what he bought for his
meals, cigars, or anything else he hap
pened to purchase at the club. Some of
the members claim that Bouslog has
been gambling to a considerable extent
recently, and has lost his money in this
manner.
Mrs. Bouslog says she is looking the
matter up and intends to have some
thing to say about it in a few days.

erything is running smoothly so far as

ROBINSON MAY QUIT.
RumOr of Resignation of Frisco
President Account of
Ill Health.

st. Louis, May 1O.-The long-continued
illness of President D. B. Robinson, of
the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad
has caused rumors to be circulated in
railroad and business circles to the eff
feet that he contemplates resignation.
Mr.. Robinson is at this time in Chicago
consulting with his chief medical ad-
wiser, and no confirmation of the resig
nation rumor could be obtained yester-
day at St. Louis headquarters. 1t is the
general impression, however, that Mr..
Robinson will tender his resignation to
the board in New York very shortly,
and that it will be reluctantly accepted.
The board meets for the transaction of
REGULAR business once each month.

A SPRING DISEASE.
More Catarrh at This Season Than in
Any Other.

The fact that catarrh is more prev
alent in spring than any other time of
year is easily accounted for by the
sudden changes, the warm sunny day
succeeded by the snow or sleet of the
next.
Repeated colds in the head resulting
from our tickle spring climate very
easily drift into nasal catarrh, which
is at first simply an uncured cold, which
finally, if neglected, causes infamma-
ton and thickening Of the mucous men,
brane of the nasal cavity which gradu-
ally extends into the throat and bron-
chial tubes and to the stomach, caus-
ing catarrh of stomach.
Douches of salt water or douches of
any kind very often aggravate the
trouble by still further irritating the
delicate membranes
The safest remedy for colds in the
head and for any form of catarrh is
some simple and safe antiseptic, pref
erably in tablet, and taken internally
several times a day.
One of the best antiseptic catarrh tab
let's for this purpose is one composed of
Sanguinari. Eucalyptol and Guaiacol.
and sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
These tablets clean the catarrhal Sc
cretion from the membranes of the
nose and throat and act also very
effectively upon the blood, their regular
use for a few weeks entirely eiininat-
ing the catarrhal poison from the sys-
TEN.
The best remedies for any trouble are
the simplest, and Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets is a superior preparation for
colds and catarrhal conditions because
absolutely free from cocaine or opiates
so commonly found in cheap cough
cures and catarrhal medicines.
