IMPROVE MENTS
ON THE CAREY
Thirty Thousand Dollar Con-
tract Let for Addition
OF THIRTY-TW0 ROOMS
To Be Biggest Hotel in the
Middle West.

Yesterday Mr.. B. E. Aaton gave a
contract TO Borden Brothers for the build
ing of a fine addition to the Carey hotel.
an addition that viii make it the largest
hotel between Kansas City and Denver
and Dakota and the gulf. When COM
pleted the Greater Carey" will have
1l7 rooms. and the cost Of the improve
mnets will be $4,000.
The hotel Will be supplied with all the
modern improvements. including an up-to-
date heating system and an electric light
plant, a private dining room of special
magnifcance, and many other things
enumerated in the plans and contract.
The addition will be made on the west
side of the hotel, running parallel with II
120 feet, and twenty-five feet wide. II
will be full five stories high and in archi-
tectural design viii be precisely the same
as the present building. On the ground
floor will be double-deck store room with
a special plate glass front.
The building will be commenced on the
first day OF April and ought TO be COM
pleted by the first of July
Wonderful has been the success of Ben
Eaton since he came to Wichita nine
years ago Like Ben Mclean, he began
his business career in Wichita when times
were the most StreuouS III the history or
generation now living. He came from
Hutchinson and opened the Metropole
which he ran for year. He then took
the Manhattan, which he also ran fer a
year. In 1895 he took the Carey and five
years thereafter he bought the magnif-
cent building and its furniture. and every
body knows the success he has made of
it. He also has a half interest in the
ROYAL hotel at Guthrie.
No man in Kansas has made such a re-
cord as a successful hotel man, and to-
day he can be called the hotel king of the
state. His achievement in nine years is
simply incOnceivable. except on the theory
that he is, what his friends claim him TO
be. a born hotel man, having a special
genius for management. Personally he
is a man extraordinarily well fitted for the
establishment and maintenance of a prof
table trade. His holt on the trade of
travelling men especially is something
noticeable. He knows how to treat the
boys as few other hotel men can.

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old-F ashioned Medicines for Catarrh
No Lonqer in VOGUE

FOR many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with local
douches, sprays. inhalers and liquid med
cines composed principally of alcohol, all
Of which never cured but simply gave the
temporary relief and stimulation.
A thorough cure can be made by the
treatment which removes the catarrhal
poisons from the blood.
a new remedy which meets the require
ments and which so far has been re-
markedly successful in curing catarrh is
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membrane only.
They can hardly be classed as a secret
patent medicine as they are composed OF
such valuable remedies as blood root
hydrastin, red gum of eucalyptus tree
and similar antiseptics combined in tab
let form, which cure by eliminating from
the blood and mucous membrane the
poisons OF catarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges TO be taken in
ternally. allowing them to dissolve in the
mouth, thus reaching the throat, trachea
and finally the stomach.
II hSSIeN JHey may also De OlSSOlVeQ

to the internal use, but it is not at all
necessary to use 4 douche; few Of them

cient However. when there is much stop

these tablets viii give immediate relief,
but the regular daily use internally viii

out resorting to the inconvenience of
douche.
Dr. Bennett stated that the internal
treatment of catarrh by means of pleas
ant indicated tablets is rapidly taking
the place of douches and local applica-
TONS" and further says that probably
the best and certainly the safest remedy
at present on the market is the Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of
their composition and all the really eff
Gent catarrh remedies are concentrated

Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at 30 cents for full sized package, and
they will tell you there is no safer, more

of Wichita were made very cheerful by
this remark. His expression Of friendship

CHAPTER XV.

M VOW, in August, however, the first HAIL turmoil had died. The jam had boiled into town, taken it
 apart'' and left the inhabitants to piece it together again as they could. The "rear' had not yet arrived. As a consequence Thorpe found the city comparat lively quiet.
 Although his ideas were not as yet formulated, he hoped to be able to pick up crew of first class men from those who had come down with the advance, or ''jam,' of the springs drive. They should have finished their orgies by now and, empty of pocket, should be . found hanging about the boarding houses and the quieter saloons. Thorpe intended to offer good wages for good men. He would not need more than twenty at first, for during the ap- preaching winter he intended to log on very small scale indeed. The time for expansion would come later.
 With this object in view he set out from his hotel about half past on the day of his arrival to cruise about in the lumber Jack district. The hotel clerk had obligingiy given him the

 ''Suit yourself" answered Thorpe careIessIy ''You can always log your present holdings"
 ''Very we'll" cried Morrison, so sud denly in a passion that Wallace started back. "Its wari And let me tell you this, young man-you're new concern, and we're an old one. We'll crush you like thatr He crisped an envelope vim dictively and threw it in the waste basket.
 Crush ahead,' replied Thorpe, with great good humor. "Goodby, MT. Nor rison.'' And the two went out.
 Wallace was sputtering and trem- bling with nervous excitement. His was one of those temperaments which required action to relieve the stress of a stormy interview. He wanted to do something at once Hadn't we better see a lawyer?' he asked. "Oughtn't t we to look out that they don't take some of our pine? Oughtn't we''-
 You just leave all that to me-" re- piled Thorpe. "The first thing we want to do is to rustic some money"
 "And you can leave that to me" echoed Wallace. q know little of such things, and I have business con nections who know more. You just get the camp running"
 "I'll start for Bay City tonight sub mitted Thorpe There ought to be a good lot of lumber jacks lying around idle at this time of year, and it's a good place to outfit from, because we can probably get freight rates direct by boat. We'll be little late in starting, but we'll get in some logs this winter anyway"

expense on the Ossawinamakee in ex- pectation of undertaking very exten- sive operations there. To that end we have cleared the stream, built three dams and have laid the foundations of a harbor and boom. This has been very expensive Now, your purchase includes most of what we had meant to log. You have, roughly speaking, about 300 O0,OOO,OO0 in your holding, in addition to which there are several millions scattered near it which would pay mo- body but yourself to get in. Our hold ings are farther up stream and com- prise only about the equal of yours.'
 Three hundred millions are not to be sneezed at,' replied Thorpe.
 Certainly not" agreed Morrison suavely, gaining confidence in the sound of his own voice. "Not in this country. But you must remember that a man goes into the northern peninsula only because he can get something bet ter there than here. When the firm of Morrison & Daly establishes itself now it must be for the last time. We want enough timber to do us for the rest of the time we are in business"
 "In that case you will have to hunt up another locality replied Thorpe calmly.
 Morrison's eyes flashed, but he. re- tained his appearance of geniality and appealed to Wallace Carpenter.
 "Then you will retain the advantage of our dams and improvements" said he. "Is that fair?"
 ''No, not on the face of it." admitted Thorpe ''But you did your work in a navigablr stream for private pur- poses without the consent of the board of control. Your presence on the river is illegal. You should have taken out a charter as an improvement company. Then as long as you attended to busi- ness and kept the concern in repair we'd have paid you toll per thousand feet. As soon as you let it slide, how ever, the works would revert to the state. I won't hinder your doing that yet, although might. Take out your charter and fix your rate of toll.'

The cripple said nothing nor moved a muscle of his face, but the gleam of the wolf faded to give place to the soft, affectionate glow seen in the eyes of a setter dog. Thorpe was startled at the change.
 A knock announced the sandwiches and milk The cripple fell upon them with both hands in a sudden ecstasy of hunger. When he had finished, he looked again at Thorpe, and this time there were tears in his eyes.
 A little later Thorpe interviewed the proprietor of the hotel.
 ''I wish you'd give this boy good cheap room and charge his keep to me-" said he. He's going north with me-"
 Thorpe lay awake for some time aft CT retiring. Phil claimed share of his thought. In an hour or so he dozed. He dreamed that the cripple had grown to enormous proportions and was over shadowing his life. A slight noise out side his bedroom door brought him to his feet.
 He opened the door and found that in the stiffness of the night the poor deformed creature had taken the blan- kets from his bed and had spread them across the doorsill of the man who had befriended him.

 At the hotel Thorpe, examining the cut, found it more serious in appear ance than in reality. With a few pieces of sticking plaster he drew its edges together.
 Then he attempted to interrogate his find.

 Are you hungry?" asked Thorpe, with sudden thoughtfulness.
 ''Yes," replied the cripple, with a lightning gleam in his wolf eyes.
 Thorpe rang the bell To the boy who answered it he said: ~ Bring me half a dozen beef sand wiches and glass of milk, and be quick about it.''
 Do you play the fiddle much?" con- tinued Thorpe.
 The cripple nodded again.
 Lets hear what you can do."
 "They cut my strings" cried Phil, with a passionate vail.
 The cry came from the heart, and Thorpe was touched by it. The price of strings was evidently big sum.
 ''I'll get you more in the morning" :" said he. Would you like to leave Bay City?"
 'sYesv' cried the boy, with passion. You would have to work. You would have to be chore boy in lum Der camp and play fiddle for the men when they wanted you to-

RM YfEXT day the articles of partner hNEI ship were drawn, and Carpen-
 ter gave his note for the neces-
 sary expenses. Then, in an swer to a penciled card which MT. Morrison had evidently left at Thorpe's hotel in person, both young men called at the lumberman's place of business. They were ushered immediately into the private office.
 MT. Morrison was a smart little man, with an ingratiating manner and a dshy eye. He greeted Thorpe with marked geniality.
 My opponent of yesterday" he cried 3ocularly. sSit down, MT. Thorpe. AL though you did me out of some land I had made every preparation to pur- chase, I can't but admire your grit and resourcefulness. How did you get here ahead of us?"

 ssWe'll waive all that. Of course it is to your interest to make difficulties and run the price up as high as you can. But my time is somewhat occu- pied just at present, so I would be very glad to hear your top price. We will come to an agreement afterward."
