Consumption

The only kind of consump-

People are learning that con-

consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion

The Attorney General is busliy en-.
gagged these days on his report on the
title to the Panama canal. Whatever
his decision may be he has guarded 1t
well but it is generally believed that
1t will be favorable. HIS report will
embody a complete history of the two
Panama Canal companies and state
ment of the action of the French
courts in regard thereto. The belief
that the report will be favorable is
based largely on the fact that Mr..
Knox spent so l,ile time in eXamln-
ing into the matter. 1t is said that
the French coults have a way of es-
tabhshing disputed titles by arbitrary
action and 1t Is imagined that they
have taken such acton in this IN.
stance. If the title has been found
to be satisfactory-and the report will
be soon made public-the President
will begin the construction of the
canal as promptly as the treaty with
Columbia can be concluded.

A Fort Scott Citizen Has an
Odd Experience.
Married an Iowa Widow Who
Sickens of Her Bargain.
is QUITE A ROMANCE.
Brings the Children and Wife'S
Watch to Kansas.
Brother Comes After Them and
Spirits Them Away.

Fort Scott, Kas., Dec. 23.-The Trib-
une says:
Charles Serls. Fort Scott boy who
has Travelled over the country consider
able in the last ten years and who re-
sides with his parents at the corner of
Sixth and Walker streets, is one of the
characters in a little romance that hao
its elimination in this city today.
Recently while travelling with a medi-
cine show up in Iowa, Charley fell in
love with a young widow who had two
children. His affections were recipro-
Gated and they were married. The
widow had a little money, some $780, as
her brother stated today, and had pur-
chased a piece OF property in the town
IN which she lived. Mr.. and Mrs. Serbs
at first decided to reside there but Mr..
Serbs induced his bride to come to Fort
Scott. The brother of the woman says
that Serbs persuaded the woman to re-
lease contract that she had on the
property, thereby losing 5000 in the deal.
Then he persuaded her to allow him to
wear her watch. In the meantime the
woman had about changed her mind
about removing to this city, but Serbs
had already taken the two small chis~
dren with the understanding that the
bride was to follow and come to this
-city. For some unknown reason tho
woman grew suspicious that Serbs was
not acting in good faith and she sent
her brother and another young man
here for the children and the watch.
They arrived here this morning ana
sought the services of Policeman Gill
ham who found Serls for them. Possess
sion of the children was demanded, also
the watch. Serbs did not know what to
think about it but finally assented to
the demands and turned over the chill
dren and the watch.
This afternoon the brother took the
children and left for their home in Iowa
on the Frisco train. Just before the
train time Serbs thought that the broth
er had no right to interfere with his do
nestle affairs and was consulting an
attorney with the view of regaining
possession of the children and the
watch but the man and the kids got
away before anything was done. They
were her children and he could not keep
them.

Kansas City. Kas., Dec. 23.-Marriage
licenses were issued yesterday by Judge

and Mrs. Esbler was widow. Both are
Germans and both own property IN
Quindaro, Kas. The other couple, George
Ray, aged 20, and Bertha Hughes, aged
65, live in Kansas City, Kas.
An amusing incident occurred in con-
nection with the issuing of the license to
Ray. He came to my office three weeks
ago." said Judge Snider, land told me he
wanted to get married. I asked him the
name of the prospective bride and, after
thinking a while, he said he couldn't
remember, but thought it was Bertha
Hays ! told him he'd better find on:
for sure, and today when he came back
he said it was Bertha Hughes"

Milwaukee, Dec. 23.-Lucien Worden,
who is championing football before the
school board in opposition to Director
Quin's resolution providing for it's pro-
hibition, is receiving some interesting
replies from inquiries sent out.
President Hadley of Yale says that
the eastern youth needs football to stir
him up just as the western youth needs
golf to slow him down.
President Eliot of Harvard says at the
conclusion of his letter that football is
not so dangerous as speeding an auto
mobile.
President Angel of Michigan says
that the sport is manly and proper, but
should be arefully guarded by the
school authorities.
President Hadley is disinclined, he
says, to express an opinion which will
do for all places, and then winds up
with the statement given.
President Eliot, after going into the
subject at some length, says:
Football, therefore. seems to me the
least desirable of college sports. I can
not think, however. that the prohibition
of the sport would be wise either for
schools or colleges. 1t ought to be so
regulated as to reduce gradually the
evils which now attend it,
