BOURBONS READY.
Kansas Democrats Will Have
Big Time at Annual Feast.

The Democrats are preparing to set
the Republicans lively pace in the
way of banquets- The annual Demo-
birthday, January s, and the Topeka
city council will be asked for the audi
torium in order to give Democracy a
chance to spread itself
Mack Love and Ed Murphy will come
to Topeka in a few days to confer with
David Overmyer, Frank Thomas and
John Curran over the arrangements for
the banquet Curran is secretary of the
Populist state committee, but he is now
affiliating with the Democrats.
The plan is to cut out the small fry
speakers and have only spellbinders Of
national reputation-four or five of
then-to do the talking. This, it is fig
ured, will be fast pace for the Repub-
licanS to follow on Kansas Day, even if
they secure Mark Hanna
Curran's influence will be utilized
towards getting the Populists into the
plan SO that they may be led to fully
embrace Democracy. Arrangements
will be made to get together at least a
thousand of both parties and the price
of the feed" will probably be one dollar
per plate, although there is some talk
of raising the price to two dollars in
recognition of Republican prosperity,
but the probabilities are that the Demo-
cratic price of one dollar per- will be
maintained. If the Republicans want
Gratis, they can put the price for the
Kansas Day banquet up to two dollars,
and then see if rank and file recognize
the prosperity.

The stomach controls the man. It governs
him both physically and mentally. The man
is just what his stomach makes him. When
the stomach is right, the man is all right;
he feels good, he ia happy, he is cheerful, the
world to him is all sunshine
When the stomach is wrong the man is
all wrong. He is out of sorts, he is nervous,
he is irritable, he is gloomy and respondent,
he is cranky. His general disposition is
such that nobody wants to have anything
to do with him.
The stomach is the organ on which the
whole human system must depend for sub
sistence and existence. If the stomach
fails, then what is to become of the rest of
the body? Where does the force Of life
come from? Doesn't it come largely from the
food? You know that If you stop eating, you
will die. But the mere eating of food does
not give life. Food can no more give life with
out digestion than coal can give heat with
out combustion. It is not what we eat but
what we digest that keeps up the motor
force of the body.
Undigested food is not only useless but
harmful 1t ferments and decays in the
stomach, the evidence of which you have in
the distress you experience, that feeling of
fullness, especially after eating, f1atulence

This decayed food poisons the blood,

We can do this only by taking the remedy

SOLD THE SAME PIG.
Trick That Will Land Two Boys IN
the Reform School.

Two Valley Falls colored boys will
very soon matriculatein Superintendent
Hancock's school across the Kaw,
known popularity as the state reforma-
tory. They will be in in a day or two,
just as soon as Sheriff John Newell can
get loose from the Klusmire murder
trial at Oskaloosa to bring them in.
The boys are about 16 years of age,
but the way they buncoed a pig-buyer
at Valley Falls would credit them with
more years and success if their talents
were directed in an honest business
Neil McCloud was making up a car
load of pigs at Valley Falls, but there
was something lacking in the ailur-
ments of price or the spare time of the
farmers in the region and he could not
get enough to fill up the carload. A
couple of days were wasting and the
porkerS were kept in the corral by the
railroad while skirmishing was being
done to get UP the quota.
This was the chance for the colored
youths Richard Alden and James Tall
They descended on the corral in the
dark of the moon and corralled one of
the finest, sleekest and latest shoats
In the bunch.
They came driving it along next
morning and hailed the pig buyer:
"Hey, Mistah, want to buy our
shote?''
McCloud certainly did and drove him
on the scale.
yah, yah Want dat easy chuckled
Alden Lets do it agin."
So the next night they turned the
trick once more, but unluckily they col
Jared the same shoat
When they drove up with the porl<er
next morning McCloud had something
up his nose. He wondered where the
BOYS were getting one fine Shoat after
another and worst of all he recognized
the shoat.
He pinned the boys down to the truth
and the result was that they pleaded
guilty in the Jefferson county court this
week and Judge Gepbart ordered them
sent to the reformatory.

This is the opinion given by Ed

county in the legislature of 1897. He is

lature in a district naturally Repub-
lican by about 400 majority.
IF they will do that I am in favor

continued Mr.. Hackney. Some rustling
young fellow like Grant Harrington, for
instance. / think Grant would make
a good candidate. BY nominating some
one who is alive and energetic, and who
will get out and organize the fusion
forces, there is a chance for the fusion
