there will be any objections to the

generally conceded among officials of the
old E. p. & N. E. and the Rock Island
proper that it is only question of

The Rock Islnd wants the road and the
owners of the E. p. Il N. E. are willing
to give it up for handsome profit
President Eddy is largely interested in
the east and would no doubt be glad to
dispose of his holdings, and his associ-

they have always given an attentive ear
to his service. While not speaking with
authority, think there will be a change

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself OF Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to
First Principles.

A man Of large affairs in one Of our
prominent eastern cities by too close at
tention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax. levied in the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making it impos-
sible to apply himself to his daily bust
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he says: IT consult
ed one physician after another and each
one seemed to understand my case, but
all the same they failed to bring about
the return of my former digestion, ap-
petite and vigor. For two years went
from pillar to post. from one sanitarium
to another. I gave up smoking, I quit
coffee and even renowned my daily
glass or two of beer. but without any
marked improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
g we'll known proprietary medicine.
Stuart's Dyspepsa Tablets and had
often perused the newspaper advertise
stock in advertised medicines nor could
believe a fifty-cent patent medicine
would touch my case.
ITO. make a long story short, finally
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and occa-
sionally tablet between meals, when
felt any feeling Of nausea or discom-
fort
IT was surprised at the end OF the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets were going to cure completely.
and they did not disappoint me- 1 can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose I had
ever known tie horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity / wrote IN
the proprfetors OF the remedy asking for
information as to what the tablets con-
tanned and they replied that the prin-
cipal ingredients were aseptic pepsin
| Government test), malt dfastase and
other natural digestives, which digest
food regardless of the condition Of the
stomach
The root of the matter is this. the
digestive elements containd in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets win digest the food,
give the Overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tonics never give real
strength, they give q fictitious strength.
Invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop of blood, every nerve and tissue Is
manufactured from our daily food. and

NOT DRoUTHY KANSAS.

The spring and summer of 1902 will
not be known in the Sunhower state as
drouthy Kansas. Not for years has
there been such a copious rainfall as
during the past two weeks.
Two of the larger rivers, the Cotton
wood and the Neosho have overlooked
their banks and spread over miles OF
growing grain. fruit and railroad tracks
Rescue parties in boats were com
PEELED to aid the farmers in escaping in
many instances in the Iowlands around
Emporia and trains We're water bound
over night
In some portion of the state cloud
bursts have prevailed and small streams
became raging torrents which caused
those dwelling in the lowlands to fee to
the hills for safety.
The Smoky river is also overlooking
the low bottom lands along its course
and numerous grain and alfalfa fields
are under water. Delivery on rural mail
routes is abandoned in many cases
Yes, Kansas is thoroughly soaked and
willing to rest on it's oars for time IL
the weather man will permit.
The grain is in a position where It
must soon be harvested and much of the
fruit is in the same condition.
The oldest settler in the Jayhawker
state can hardly remember a season
more favorable for crops in Kansas
than the present. But there is such 4
condition as overlooking things.

THE @C1EAN up MOVEMENT.

The efforts Of the Civic improvement
society to make Topeka a more beau
tfful city deserve the approval of every
one who is interested in the welfare of
Topeka. There is much work for such
an organization notwithstanding tie
fact that Topeka has the reputation of
being one of the 9rettiest cities in the
Union.
Topeka already has a large number of
paved streets for city of QUO inhal3-
itants, and from four to six miles Of
pavement are being put down every
year.
The slogan of the Civic Improvement
society is "Clean up. Clean up. Clean
up" Every ward in the city has al
ready being organized and every block
in the city is in charge of a vice presi-
dent. The BANNER is to be kept well to
the front and if the efforts OF the men
who have organized the movement will
count for anything interest in the move
ment will not lag.
Dean Kaye offs the Episcopal church
began the movement here Realizing
the possibilities of identifying the city
by the culture of lawns an ] flowers and
the cleaning up of alleys and vacant
lots, and being a horticulturist for his
own pleasure, he decided to take up the
work here.
Dean Kaye is devoting q great deal
of his time to the work and is organic
ing forces in every part Of the city. He
is giving lectures in the various pre-
cincts relative to the best methods Of
decoration of lawns and parks and is
giving many timely hints.
That the interest of the peonie of the
city has been aroused cannot be doubt
ed At the last meeting of the society
/ hardly room enough could be found in
the room to accommodate those who at
tended. The second Tuesday in each
month is the regular monthly meeting
date. The next meeting viii therefore
be held Tuesday evening. June 10. at the
| Commercial club rooms.

movement the cooperation it deserves
