q lack of nourishment is weakness, which may be
general or may specially manifest itself in heart,

if many diseases of the body and its organs had
their origin in the diseased condition of the stomach
then the medicine which would cure disease of the
stomach and other organs Of digestion and nutrition
would also cure the many diseases which originate
in stomach disease Then he compounded his

of his theory by numerous cures of diseases of the

PoPULIsT COMMITTEES ADDRESS.
To the Peoples Party of Kansas.

To the Peoples Party of Kansas.
We, your state committee, feel it our
d1ty to present to you clear state.
ment of our efforts with the Democrat
lie state committee to arrange to con-
tinue the harmonious co operation
with the Democratic party in our eff
forts to prevent the Republican party
from further entertainments upon the
political liberties of the people of our
state, and to repeal their Ubiquitous
legislation.
The Democratic committee having
refused our first proposition to submit
to the respective parties the PROPOSE
ton to unite upon one platform and
one set of candidates under one name,
proceed to call their state convention
at an unusually early date. Many of
our people believed that this indicated
that the Democratic committee did not
desire continuance of cooperation
between the two organizations, but on
the contrary, intended to go it alone,
expecting and inviting our voters to
abandon our organization and to join
theirs.
In view of this action of the Demo
cratic committee, we felt it our duty to
call our committee together in dele
gate conference, in order to get their
answer 10 this invitation and action of
the Democratic committee.
This conference was attended by 400
delegates. Its judgment was that We
should maintain our party organization
but that we ought to on equitable
terms, continue our cooperation with
the Democratic party. provided it was
desired by them. but that we should
not call our convention to meet on the
early date and place already fixed for
the Democratic convention.
Your committee, acting in accord
ance with the action of the conference
agreed upon q joint conference with
the Democratic committee. which was
held today at the Throop, hotel, Tope-
ka.
We submitted to the Democratic
committee our desire to co operate
with them in our former policy of unit
ing upon one set of candidates, and re-
quested that in furtherance of this that
the date of their convention be changed
from May % to date not earlier than
June Is, stating that in submitting
this request. we were acting in har-
mony with the action taken by our re-
cent party conference.
After an earnest presentation of the
various reasons for the extension of the
conyentlon date by your committee,
they refused to grant our request.
Therefore, your committee, proceed
ing under the intructions of our party
conference, hereby call the Peoples
party of Kansas in delegate state con.
vention to meet on June "a, 1902, at
Topeka, Kansas.

REMOVED MANNERS BUMP.
Vienna Surgeon Operates on the
Brain of Young Man with
Queer Result

DR.. Karl Diwald, one of the best
known surgeons in Vienna has Just
drawn attention to very peculiar
case, says a London paper.
A young man who was attending the
military college was accidentally shot
in the head by revolver, and DIR.
Diwald, who was summoned to attend
him, extracted the ball and at the same
time removed fragment of the brain.
Serious results were expected, but
the young man speedily recovered and
soon afterward passed a successful
examination.
Strange to say, however, since the
operation took place his manners and
habits have been deplora BILE. which is
the more remarkable since he was re-
puted to have been one of the most
polished young men in Vienna. His
associates now say that they cannot
tolerate him and that even at table he
is constantly guilty of gross breaches
of good manners.
DIR. Diwald maintains that the nor
ton of the brain which he removed
while extracting the bullet must have
been that very part which controls all
matters relating to decorum and good
conduct; in other words, that the
bump of good manners is located in
that part of the brain. and, that. since
he has lost it, the young m.n finds it
impossible to display good manners

Fled with Her Husband.

Judge Lawrence, of the Sumner
county district court, denied a writ
of habeas corpus to Edgar Hutchin-
son, who alleged that his wife was
being kept from him by her guard
ian. Hutchinson and Melvia Abshear,
girl of Is, had eloped from Ashton
and been married. Within "a hours
the mother and the guardian of the
bride got hold of her and took her
away. At the hearing Judge Law
renee asked the girl if she preferred
to go with her husband or her
mother. She decided for her mother,
and the judge at once dismissed the
case. This was the condition of
things up to last Saturday morning,
when the mother and daughter drove
up to the postoffice at Ashton and the
mother went inside. When she re-
turned she found the girl gone, and
she had fed with her husband, who
was hanging around. The girl is
something of an heiress and con-
siderable money belonging to her is
in the hands of her guardian.-Kan-

A TRAGEDY OF MINING.
the Bones of Noted California Pros.
pector Of the Sixties Lately
Found Clears Up Mystery

After37 years of mystery the strange
disappearance Of Abner Lee, the no.
;orious old prospector who discov-
cred the famous Lee silver mine, 20
miles northeast of San Bernardino,
al, has at last been solved, reports
the San Francisco Examiner of recent
date.
Lee was the most famous prospect
or of his time. In 1865 he located
those claims known as the Lee mines,
which subsequently brought fortune
Of S2.000,000 to Gov. r. W. Waterman,
of California. Soon after discovering
these rich silver properties he disap-
peared into the desert and was never
seen again. A great deal of excite
ment was occasioned by Lees with
drawal from the world, and it was
suggested more than once that he had
been foully done away with by I'M
scrupulous persons who wished to
gain possession of his property. 9th
ers thought the Piute Indians, who
then raideG the desert. had killed him
and buried the remains.
Now the riddle has ben solved and
the skeleton of old Abner Lee. the
bones of his burros. his "washpan,"
and an old mining pick bearing his
name on the handle have been found
in the Devils playground by Jim
Moran, desert freighter plying be-
tween Fenner. on the Santa Fe road,
and Resting Spring Branch, at the
head of Death valley. The shifting
sands which covered lee have given
back their dead, the miners are cleared
up of obloquy, and the bones of the
prospector have been given decent bur-
ial on the crystalline shores of Soda
lake.
According to Lees story at the time
(and this was subsequently verified)
there were vast lodges of surface ore
in sight of precisely the same quality
as the ore which from time to time he
brought in on his burros. He was
very secretive about the location of his
mine. and those whom he took into
his confidence were under strict pledge
to reveal nothing
Among those was r. w. Waterman,
who afterward became governor of
California. Mr.. Waterman was at that
time a struggling lawyer. For ten
years after Lees disappearance moth
ing was heard of the properties. Then
big expedition was organized in San
Bernardino to search for the aban-
doned claims. Under the guidance of
two prospectors who claimed to know
something of the locality, and who
had heard where lay the Lee silver.
the party went almost Immediately to
the mines.
But upon their arrival they found
Waterman guarding the property with
a Winchester rife. He had been in
possession for two hours. He had
driven out to the claim in blackboard.
For more than Is years Waterman held
a controlling interest in the Lee mines.
and it is estimated that during that
time more than $4,000, 900 in ore was
taken out.
Dark hints were cast in regard to
Waterman by those who considered he
must have known the locality Now
the finding of Lees body clears the air
The ex-governor has been dead several
years. Since the depreciation of sill
yer bullion the mines have been idle.
but the old story of Abner Lee is often
repeated by the desert prospectors.

The ResourcefuI Lawyers.

At wellington, Henry Lowery was
convicted of murder in the second
degree on the charge that he had adj
ministered morphine to his baby.
Now his lawyers ask for a new trial
on the grOud that one who admin
listers poison and causes death can
not rightly be convicted of anything
less than murder in the first degree,
as it possesses the essential element
of generalization. And, having proved
that their client is guilty of a higher
degree of crime than the one of which
he was convicted, the lawyers will
next try to prove that he was guilty
of no crime at all.-Kansas City Jour
nal.

mountaineering Potato Crop.

The harvest of the Kaw valley po-
tato crop is nearing completion. 1t
has been customary for the potato
growers of the valSy to keep for
seed all potatoes dug after October
1, because they are usually not large
enough for table use, but the grow
ing season has been longer this year
and practically all of the potatoes
harvested are marketable. The yield
on some fields is $50 bushels to the
acre. 1t is estimated that 5000 car
loads will be shipped to market at
an average of 25 cents a bushel.
