1t IS true the most annoying symptoms
like stoppage of the nose and throat trou-
Die, are purely local, but they are simply
symptoms and the real seat of disease is
far removed
Catarrh is a constitutional disease, a
blood disorder. complicated usually with
disease of the liver. and to suppose that
local applications of sprays. powders. in
naIers- could ever reach the real cause of
the trouble is ridiculous.
The sensible and successful treatment is
to remove the catarrhal poison from the

by an internal remedy, which should con-

orously on the StoOd and liver.
The best preparation of this kind which
fills all the requirements of a safe consti-
tutional treatment is Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. composed Of Blood Root. Red

sPANGLER GETS NEW TRIAL
Officer Who Killed Prisoner With
Club Not Yet in Penitentiary.

w. H. Spangler, who was convicted
of manslauhgter in the district court of
Pottawatomie county for killing Gus
Gonske while he, Spangler, was mar
shall of Onaga, will get a new trial.
Gonske had the reputation of being
bad man" when he was drunk. and 1t
is claimed had boosted that Spangler
should not arrest him. Spangler did ar
rest him, but in doing it he hit Gonske
on the head. and as a result GonSke
died the next day. Spangler was con-
victed of manslaughter and sentenced
to the penitentiary, but appealed his
case to the supreme court. The SUI
preme court decided that the trial court
erred in not admitting certain evidence
to show the character of Gonske as a
fighting man.

An Interview With The Brother of the
Secretary of State Brings Odt Some
Very Remarkable Facts.

Of particular interest at this time is
the publication of an interview with
Mr.. w. FL. Clark, a brother of Secre-
tary of State, George A. Clark, of To-
peka, Kansas, in whose office he is
employed. In the course of the inter :
view Mr.. Clark said:
"Along in 1890, I was living in
junction City, Kansas, and working at
my trade of printer on the Republi-
can. 1 had a bad attack of rheuma-
tism and could not seem to get over
it. All sorts of medicines failed to do
me any good and my trouble kept get

DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the

MORE COLOR TROUBLE.
Garfield School is Now Scene of
Revolt.

The controversy over the color line
being drawn by the board of education
in the Lowman Hill district threatens
to spread to every school in the city.
In Garfield school, at Thirteenth and
Quincy streets, in the seventh grade
there have been p colored children and
Is white children in one room. The re-
cent agitation in Lowman Hill by the
colored people has stirred up a revolt
among the whites in the vicinity of Gar
field school and of the IS white children
in the seventh grade at Garfield only
four reported for school yesterday.
Complaints have been made to the
board of education by the white patrons
of Garfield school but the rule has been
that the whites and colored children
shall attend the seventh and eighth
grades together.

rapidly losing breath when another
prisoner observed the proceeding, and
invited him to ''cut it out" and forget
it, The unhappy man refused to take
the advice, and the other prisoner called

chances for Mr.. Miller to pass over the

breath and forgot his sorrows in
drunken slumber. A physician was
called, but Miller was slumberlng
peacefully when he arrived, and was
suffering no inconvenience from his
short strangulation.
1t seems that Henry Aye, the officer
who arrested Miller, is unlucky- He
was a member of the party who dis
covered the dead body of Mrs James
Kay, who was murdered by her nus
band. Last Tuesday he found the body
of w. ]. jerks in a stairway on lower
Kansas avenue and yesterday some one
started the rumor that he had killed
young Devlin, whom he arrested the
night previous. Now comes this
drunken prisoner who attempts to add
to the horrors which Aye has to ponder
over. The officer was not in the least
responsible for any of these deaths, but
to be even remotely connected with sew
eral such affairs in rapid succession is
wearing on the nerves. Aye has never
been known to slug a prisoner, and 1t
has always been noticeable that he did
not carry a club in his hand when on
duty like most officers, and has fire.
