Wichita Gas Company.

Wichita Gas Company.
The plant of the Wichita Gas Electric
Light and Power company is nearing
completion. Superintendent James J.
Walch said last night that the company
would have one of the best electric light
plants in the United states. and there
would be none better He said the new
machinery would produce current
cheaper than the old plant and Il was the
intention Of the company TO give the con-
sumers the benefit in cheaper lights

BURGLARS IN
CATHOLIC SEA
They Steal Anniversary Pre-
sents Given to the Bishop.
MADE AWAY WITH FRUITS
Capture of Thieves Is Not at
All Expected.
MADE AWAY WITH FRUITS

Bishop Hennessey is another victim Of
the burglars who are now doing W-ich-
tia so successfully. His residence on Col
lege Hin has been made the scene CT a
robbery most unique and one which out
classes any yet perpetrated in this city.
The bishops loss amounts to a silver
table set which was given to him at the
jubilee of the 18th anniversary of his
ordination.
1t was about half after midnight when
the robbers, unfastening the lock Of the
front doors. passed noiselessIy into the
diningroom and secured their booty. Miss
Bugg. the bishops ward. was the only
person in the front part OF the house, the
bishop himself not being at home, and the
servants sleeping in the back rooms on
the north.
The thieves did their work in peace as
not q soul in the house knew Of the oc-
currence till at the usual time of rising.
Then indeed there was no lack Of evidence
Of the night providers. The floor Of the
diningroom was covered with orange peels
and thereby the missing fruit that had
been left on the sidebOard was accounted
for. These fellows seemed to have made
their visit 10 the bishops house one not
only profitable but enjoyable After they
had thus passed a few pleasant moments
they made their job complete by taking
the four corners of the table cloth sweep
ing the bishops fine silver set therein and
taking their departure
AS in the other like cases in Wichita Of
late no trace Of the burglars have been
found, and Bishop Hennessey has given
UP his silver set as lost beyond recoV cry. !
This is the first burglary that has Oc-
CURED on College Hill during this period
or robbery. and the women out in that
vicinity are feeling rather timid about

James Jeffries. the present champion
heavyweight Of the world, and his gal
liant opponent, Tom Sharkey. in the great
est pugilistic encounter that has ever
taken place, both pursued much the same
course OF training, and the first and most
important part OF this training was to
get the stomach in condition, and to
keep the digestion absolutely perfect, 50
that every muscle and nerve would be at
its highest capabilities.
This was not done by a secret patent
medicine. but both Of these great pugilists
used 2 well known natural digestive tab
let sold by druggists under the name Of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. and composed
of the digestive ferments which every
stomach requires for healthy digestion.
Champion Jenries says: Stuart's Dys-
persia Tablets prevent acidity, strengthen
the stomach and insure perfect digestion.
They keep a man in fine physical candi-
ton" Signed, james J. Jeffries. cham
pion OF the world.
The gallant fighter. Sharkey, says:
"Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets remove all
discomfort after eating. They rest the
stomach and restore it to a healthful con-
clifton. / heartily recommend them"
Signed. Thos. J. Snarkey.
The advantage Of the daily use OF Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep
people well and ward or sickness, and
are equally valuable to well persons as
to the dyspeDtics. Another advantage
is that these tablets contain no cathartics
or poisons Of any character, but simply
digestive ferments which are found in
every healthy stomach, and when diges-
ton is imperfect it is because the stom-
ach lacks some of these elements, and
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
They are no cheap cathartic, but per-
fecny safe and efficient digestive. and the
demand for them is greater than the sale
of all other so-called dyspepsia cures
combined. No remedy could possibly
reach such a place in public esteem ex-
cept as a result Of positive merit.
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists at 50 cents, and the best habit
you can possibly form is TO take a Stuart
Tablet after each meal. They make weak
stomachs strong, and keep strong stom-
Gchs vigorous.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
Of Physical r1anhood

No form OF athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as prize
fighting. Every muscle in the body must
be fully developed and supple; and the
heart, lungs and stomach must act TO
perfection.
Whether we endorse prize fighting or
not. it is nevertheless interesting 10 know
the manner by which men arrive at such
perfection
