BODY-RES TORER

Food is the body-restorer.
In health, you want nothing
but food; and your baby wants
nothing but food. But, when
not quite well, you want to get
back to where food IS enough.
One of the most delicate
foods, in the world, is SCOTS
emulsion of cod-liver oil.
When usual food is a burden.
it feeds you enough to restore
your stomach; baby the same.
The body-builder is food;
the body-restorer IS SCOTS
emulsion of cod-liver oil.
Wen send you little to ny if you ike.

Esnporia Restraints Orient Contractors

Emporia, June 4.-The question as to
whether or not the Kansas City, Mex
leo & Orient railroad has a lawful right
to construct its tracks and grade on
Second avenue viii be settled before
District Judge Madden next Monday.
The people along Second avenue have
been waiting for work to begin on that
thoroughfare by the Orient contractors,
and Monday morning the work was
started. This is the first work within
the city limits. Judge Madden was in
Chase county, on account of the death
of his mother, but returned last even
ing and about $50 O'Clock. the restrain
ing orders We're issued. They were
handed to the sheriff and he was out
last night serving then on the contrac-
tors. The injunction is asked for by
Peter Hines. a prominent citizen, on
behalf of the Second avenue people. In
his petition he alleges that it will dam
age 100000 worth Of property. 1t is
also claimed that the action of the
council in granting the right-of-way as
it did was Illegal John Madden and L.
B. Kellogg are attorneys for the En-
poria people They will probably en-
ploy more lawyers and will make one
of the hardest fights ever made in court
here. Many Emporians are supporting
the action of the council

been some sort of underhand work
about the manipulation of this ordinance
and promises to make some interesting
disclosures, if it becomes necessary.
While the council was considering the
Question, r. b. Kepley, who was in the
audience, arose and exclaimed.
Mr.. Mayor, / want to say that IL
this question of curbing is going 10 be
changed around, want to come before
the council and make a new PROPOSE
ton"
Col Harrison offered to pay SIS to the
city clerk to hire an extra clerk TO re-
figure the assessment rates on this block
on the basis of iron curbing instead Of
stone.
The council. however, stood by its
original position, and refused to recon
slider the question.
ROCK IsLAND-SANTA FE ROW.
Railroad affairs got into the council
last night. Two ordinances were intro
duced. one granting a right-Of-way to
the Rock Island for a switch in the
alleys between Kansas avenue and
Quincy from First street to the river,
cal right to the Santa Fe. AS the alley
is only ten feet wide, there Is room for
only one track
This right-of-way has long been de-
sired by the Rock Island, but the Santa
Fe is opposed to it, because Of some
secret agreement between the roads that
each shall keep on its own side or
Kansas avenue
The council passed the Rock Island
ordinance by vote Of to 3. and killed
the Santa Fe ordinance by the same
vote.
This switch will give the Rock Island
an opening to the big Violin packing
house, and to several new wholesale
houses opened on Kansas avenue be-
tween First and the river.

Imposition on Railroads Denounced.

The practice of sending little children

"A Sentimental Fake that journal
takes to task 1.-The fool people who start
their unfortunate children off in this

consequences which befell two little
chaps tagged from a Nebraska town to
a Michigan village, and the people in
the car with them. The Republican
calls for law to prevent children under
ten years from travelling alone, but this

Lynching Bee in Indiana.

There was big lynching bco in Terre
Hautc, Indiana, on Tuesday of last week.
The victim was negro named George
Ward. His crime was cutting the throat
and shooting Miss Idi Finkelstein, a
school teacher. Ward was captured
short time after tho murder and con-
fesscd. The only reason lie gave for his
crime was that the lady called him a
dirty niger" and slapped his face. AS
soon as the facts became known great
mob collected, and despite the efforts of
the authorities, broke open the Jail,
knocked the fighting negro down with a
hammer, dragged him through tho
streets, face down, to n railroad bridge
and swung him up by the neck. 1t is
said that the fellow was dead before the
railroad bridge was reached; but not
withstanding this fact, aftor the body
was allowed to hang for awhile, it was
taken down and burned to crisp. The
fragments were carried away as souve-
Mrs. 1t is said that public sentiment
upholds tho lynching and that no prose-
cutions are expected.

Gentlemen: A gentleman ccnsured us
for addressing an open letter to him in

he was not made to endorse our paint in
the letter, and proved our reputation and
capital, he became our very good friend ;
used Il. & NJ. paint on his house, and
sent an unsolicited testimonial Of merit.
People would view our oilor of "frco
paint with suspicion and doubt if we
did not explain that we give several own
crs Of good houses presents of paint in
order that we may induce local NOR
chants to take agencies. If you or any
othor house owner Of your town will toll
us dimensions of the house you arc
going to paiut, and how many coats you
wish to put on, wc shall bo pleased to
advise as to tho number of gallons we
will give "frco Of charge" and suggest
some harmonious color combinations.
l.. & NJ. paint went on some $4,000 houses
in "l000;" tremendous number, but
tho United States arc very big, and then
it's the only paint better and cheaper
than lead; you thin l.. & NJ. with linsccd

Exposition Bill Didn't Pass.

Charleston, S. c., March 4.-The
failure of Congress to pass tho South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian
Exposition appropriation will not injuro
in any way the prospects of that great
enterprise.
The amount asked for was only $780,
600 and Charleston, and tho directors of
the Exposition will SEQ to it that an
adequate Governmental exhibit is pro-
vidcd from other sources.
The people of Charleston are loud in
their praise of the splendid fight mado
in their behalf by tho State delegation
at Washington, lead by Senator Tillman
and Congressman a. &. Iatimcr.
The disappoin tment consequent upon
the failure Of the Exposition bill is mti-
gated by the qualification occasioncd by
the passage of the appropriation for the
Naval station here. This legislation
puts at rest the last lingering doubt that
the dry dock and station are to bo To-
Gated here. 1t is expected that work
will be begun at once.
