Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 17.-Five
bank cashiers of this city appeared be-
fore the Wyandotte county grand jury
yesterday afternoon to testify as to
the private bank deposits of certain
city officials during the last two years.
The evidence already submitted to the
jury indicates that certain officials
have profited by the letting of city
contracts and the grand jury is max
ing an effort to connect the growth of
their bank accounts with the evidence
of certain contractors who have testi-
fed that the brick companies purchased
votes on large scale. The cashiers
who were before the jury were:
o. D. Burt, vice president of the Mer-
chants bank.
c. L. Brokaw, cashier of Commercial

banks When each went before the
grand jury he was asked as to the

first four rounds of their bout at the
Criterion A. c. that Tom O'Rourke
tossed a sponge into the ring before the
fourth round ended. and it was the
Montana mans fight. Usually O'Rourke
brings a good man to Boston. but in
Limerick he has the poorest and clum
siest fighter that has been seen in this
city for some time.
Munroe simply made a punching bag
of him, and only the gong saved LINER
lex from being knocked into slumber-
land in the third round. In the fourth

that Limerick went down his face COW
cred with blood. He showed gameness,
however. and got up quickly, only to
receive some more terrific blows that
sent him cropping blfndly around the
ring, and then ORourlke threw up the
sponge.
The bout was Munroes first big one
since he came east and, although it
was unnecessary for him to show sci
ence to beat his opponent. he displayed
great speed for a man of his weight,
and right and left hand punches that
had terrific strength behind them. The
betting was to / on Munroe during
the day, but at the ringside even
money was asked by his hackers but
there were few takers.

OBJECTION TO A TRANSFER.
Wichita Packing House Row Is in
Court Again.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 17.-Judge Dale
granted a temporary injunction re-
straining L. S. Naftzger, A. c. Jobes,
Smythe from transferring the property
known as the old Whitaker packing
plant, to the John Cudahy Packing
company until there is a hearing on the
injunction suit, begun by j. H. Stewart
and J. H. Burns, to enjoin the defend
ants from making the transfer until the
time named in the contract
In their petition the plaintiffs aver
that the defendants are about to make
the transfer, in spite of the fact that a
contract, made in 1900. provides that it
shall not be made for ten years from
that date, and not then unless the ca
pacity of the plant has been doubled.
If the capacity is not doubled, then the
title Is to be made to the packing COM
pany at the end of fifteen years.

Cure Your Stomach Troubles
and You Cure All.
Paw-Paw Will Cure Your Other
Troubles by Curing Dyspepsia.

Il know says Prof. Munyon, that
olsordered stomachs are responsible for
nearly all bodily ills. Where a person
eats heartily and digests his food prop
erly the blood is vitalized and enriched.
which sets the liver and kidneys and
all the vital organs into active and
healthful operation. Where the stom-
ach is strong the blood is strong; where
the blood is strong the nerves are
strong; where the nerves are strong the
kidneys, heart and lungs and liver are
strong. In my opinion most people die
from starvation, that is they starve
the blood, they Starve the nerves and
the general tissues of the whole body.
Not that people do not fill their stom-
achs with nourishing food, but because
what they put into the stomach does
not properly digest, does not properly
assimilate.''
That's why people write to say that
Paw Paw has cured them of nervous
ness.
we find many insomnia cases cured by
Paw Paw.
That's why they tell us that Paw Paw
has cured them of rheumatism
That's why we hear of kidney and
liver troubles that have been cured by
Paw Paw.
That's why we get so many letters
saying that Paw Paw has cured ca
tarrh.
All these ailments probably had their
origin in some form of stomach trouble
Paw Paw cured and cleansed the storn-
ach, purified the blood, toned up the
nerves and the sufferers soon found
that the other real or fancied ailments
had left them.

in the future they could not depend on
struggling Democratic votes in support
of Republican party measures, regard
