SMASHED THE WAGON.
Santa Fe Switch Engine Backed Into
Heavy Dray.

A Santa Fe switch engine backed into
a dray wagon belonging to Moore Bros.
foundry and smashed it into kindling
wood. The accident happened about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the cor
ner of First street and Santa Fe avenues.
Mr. Little was driving the wagon across
the tracks and as the switch engine was
working there he waited several min
utes for it TO get through. FINAL it went
down the track and the driver thought l.
had gone away and started across. The
engine suddenl backed up and struck the
wagon. The man saw the engine in time
to escape injur as also the horses, but
the wagon was ground under the wheels
and it would almost be impossible to tell
what it was from the heap of twisted
iron and broken timbers.

CAME MANY MILES
Dennis Grady of Washington
Gets v ichita Bride.
is WEALTHY SHIP-BUILDER
Of Anncorfes but N aries
School Teacher

There occurred a very pretty wedding
yesterday afternoon at the Pro-Cathedrai.
1t was the wedding of Miss Mary Dugan
of this city to Mr.. Dennis Grady of An
nacortes. Washington.
Miss Dugan is well known in this city
and has lived here for some years. She
has been living on the West Side and
teaching school in one or the schools
near the city for several years. She
has been very successful as a teacher
and all who knew her loved her for her
pleasant ways and her graceful courtesy
TO all.
She became acquainted with Mr.. Grady
in this city several years ago when he
resided in this city. Mr.. Grady left
Wichita and went TO Annacortes. Wash
ington, where he entered large shibuild-
ing establishment and rapidly rose to
have a large interest in the work. Mr..
Grady has great many friends in this
city who knew him before he went away.
The wedding took place at 2 o'clock
yesterday and the bride and groom left
soon afterwards for their home in the
far west. The Reverend Father Then
performed the ceremony in the presence
of a few of the friends of the happy
couple. While it was church wedding
yet there was a marked simplicity about
the service.
The best man was Mr.. James Dugan,
brother of the bride and the bridesmaid
was Miss Grady, sister of the groom.
The happy couple viii be at home to
their friends in their new home in An
nacortes, Washington, in a few weeks.
Happiness is but another name for per-
feet health. Use Prickly Ash Bitters
and be happy. 1t keeps the vital organs
healthy and well regulated.

REAL MERIT ALWAYS WINS.

When the fair minded person meets
with an article OF merit he is always
ready TO acknowledge it and TO tell others
Of his discovery. That's why the sale Of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is increasing so
fast. People who are cured by it tell
their friends and they are cured in turn.
Real merit is bound tc win.
If everyone knew how quickly and COM
pletely Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure cures all
kinds OF stomach trouble. few would be
without it. Otherwise inourable cases
WELD to it at once. Those less seriously
III are still more readily relieved. For
the occasional sufferer a dose now and
then is sufficient. The feeling Of fuliness
boating and other unpleasant symptoms
after meals, are quickly removed by
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t is equally good
for children
Nine times in ten i'll health is due To in
digestion Sick headache is caused ~ it.
Heart trouble often results from the
pressure Of gases in the stomach. These
eases are caused from imperfect diSes-
ton. Nervousness is frequently due to
stomach disorder. The eyesight is some
times affected by it. The entire body is
supplied from the stomach. IF supplies
are sent out regularly aud in good order
the body is sound. If they are cut eff or
furnished IA small quantity and poor con-
dition, the whole body suffers. Anything
that keeps the stomach sound is sure to
strengthen and maintain the general
health That Is what KOdol Dyspepsia
Cure IS for. Equally good for children.
All we want is to tell you about this ex-
cellent remedy. If you knew half as
much concerning its merits as we do. you
wouldn't De without it. We simply want
TO bring it to your attention. After that
