and after having been resident of this

her husband. Samuel Pettigrew. He
lived until 1891 and was well known
among the old settlers, having been in
charge of the cemetery for a long time.
Two months ago Mrs. Pettigrew became
afflicted with consumption which after
ward developed into other complications,
and of which her condition rapidly be-
came worse. On Friday morning. all her
grandchildren with the exception of the
two daughters of Frank L. Stevens, reg
lister of deeds, assembled and to them
she babe an affectionate goodbye and
then awaited the passing which came
next day. She was the mother of a large
family of children and of course de-
voted herself almost entirely to her
home life.
Those of her sons and daughters sur
viving her are: Mrs Edward Webb,
Argentine; Mrs. Mamie Mathey, Topeka;
Mrs. Dexter McGaffey, Denver Col;
Dr. Pettigrew, Decatur Ill, and Samuel

Saturdays Awful Defeat

received today from George o. Foster.
general manager of the Kansas unversi-
ty athletics, who is with the team in
Madison, says that the JayhawkerS
lined up against the Badgers for prac
tice Monday. Mr.. Foster said that an
effort would be made to strengthen the
defensive work of the Kansans on the
long end runs. In Saturdays game the
Wisconsins repeatedly skirted the Kan
sas ends for gains varying from ten to
fifty yards 1t is not known just where
the trouble lay. but it is probable that
the halves failed to go in and break
the interference so the ends might have
an opportunity to tackle the runner.
The practice against the Badgers should
be a great benefit in preparing the Kan
sans for the Beloit game, which will be
played today. The telegram said moth
ing about any of the men being injured
and hence it is supposed that the men
are all in good shape.

parts. and it is upon its marvellous
power of nourishing- all the nerve It's
sues and purifying the blood that its re-
markable cures depend.
WEAKNESS, lack of energy, and de-
Spondency are more a matter of nerves
and brain than of the muscles. At this
season of the year when thousands Of
Over-working people are entering upon
the drudgery that will have no cessa-
ton for nearly year to come, many
are already showing the symptoms that
sooner or later result from hurry, care,
anxiety and haste, without the amount
of rest and recreation that nature in
tended.
Thousands of tired mothers, school
teachers, and too ambitious scholars will
reveal the strain before the winter Is
over.
It is high time for all to strike at the
root of the trouble. Begin the work
OF recuperation and cure at the earliest
moment.
All who try will find strength and
freedom from disease in Paine's celery
compound, which corrects unhealthy
nerve action, and supplies the veins
with pure, more abundant, more vigor-
GUS blood. Paine's celery compound is
almost universally prescribed by physi-
cfans-who differ on many other things,
but who estimate at its proper worth
this greatest of all remedies for the
prevention and cure of disease. Tt is
no exaggeration to say that every week
brings hundreds of letters from those
who have used Paine's celery compound
and have been benefited by it Above
Is the picture of Representative G.. H.
Storms, one of the cattle kings of Kan
sas, who says: II regard Paine's celery
compound as the most beneficial and
valuable of remedies, especially during
the fall months" He writes as have
many thousands of others of the good
the remedy has done in his own case.
Let the reader try it and prove for
himself the abundant truth of all that
has been said.
It is not what Paine's celery COM
pound says, but what it does, that tells
the story of its worldwide fame.

There is likelihood that public bowl

winter.
Kansas City parties have been in To-

of opening some first class alleys if
suitable location can be secured. The
promoters of the scheme desire to have
a ground floor location on Kansas ave-

secure what they wish. If the proper
location can be secured, a set of regula-
