SOME BAD
YOUNG MEN
Are Making Life Miserable
for West Side People.
DISLIKE SUNDAY SCHOOL
And Seem to Have Grudge
Against Others.
DISLIKE SUNDAY SCHOOL

The West Side has a gang og boys
whose ages range from u to Is years
who are rapidly paving their way to the
reform school. People living on the West
Side have made numerous complaints
against the boys and they have been
source of a great deal of trouble for the
officers in that part of the city.
They have little or no reverence for
church or Sunday school and have no
respect for age. A year ago the boys in
the crowd were fairly good boys. They
attend school and Sunday school, but at
present their chief ambition is to be dis
peradoes. They want to whip everybody
They pull their hats down over their
left eye and put nthat swagger they
have read about In yellowbacked novels
The gang is well organized. 1t has a
regular meeting place and peculiar whis-
tie serves as notice that there is some
thing doing. The only redeeming feature
OF the gang is that the members are
loyal to each other. They have a marked
dislike for the boys of the neighborhood
who attend church and Sunday school and
do all in their power to prevent them
from going. Respectable boys have been
waylaid by the gang and have had to
submit to rather embarrassing proceed
ings.
a short time ago two boys, one a son
Of p. Dedrich, the other the son of John
were waylaid by the gang
for some petty grievance and carried to
Cooks grove on the West Side, where
the whole gang surrounded them and
gave them severe beating. The boys
were not severely injured, and would not
complain fthe gang would fight one at
a time, but they don't care to fight In
dian fashion. 1t has become unbearabIe
to the respectable boys on the West Side
to live in fear daily that they will be the
next victim. Only a word or a very
slight pretext is necessary to bring down
the mighty wrath of the gang.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

| In its earlier stage catarrh is more OF
| a nuisance than a menace to the general
| health but sooner or later, the disease
i extends to the throat, bronchial tubes
| and even TO the stomach and intestines.
! Catarrh is essentially a disease OF the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucous.
stoppage Of the nostrils, irritation in
| throat, causing coughing. sneezing, gag
| cling and frequent clearings of the throat
and head.
| The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs. salves, etc, often gives temper
airy relief, but anything Ike cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
| blood and the disappearance Of the in
| Examination from the mucous surfaces
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine as they are composed of such val
liable remedies as blood root hydrastin,
red gum and similar cleansing antisep-
ties, which cure by eliminating from the
blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal
POISON.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter-
nally, allowing them to dissolve slowly in
the mouth, in this way they reach the
throat, fauces and the entire alimen-
tary canal.
If desired. they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in addi-
ton to the internal use. but it Is not at
all necessary to use a douche; a few Of
them dissolved in the mouth daily will be
sufficient. However, when there is much
stoppage of the nose. douche made from
these tablets will give immediate relief.
but the regular daily use internally of
these tablets will cure the whole
catarrhal trouble without resorting to
the inconvenience of a douche.
DR.. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place Of the old plan of douching
and local application and further says
that probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the market is
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret /
is made of their composition and all the
really efficient remedies for catarrh are !
contained in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets }
at fifty cents for full sized packages.
Ask your druggist and If he is honest
he Will tell you there is no safer, more
palatable, more efficient and convenient
remedy on the market.

SOME MORE TROUBLE,
Seems to Be in Store for DR.. Nj. j.
Martin.

MARTIN.
It has developed within the past day or
30 that DR.. NJ. j. Martin, who is alleged
to have embezzled $3.50 from the funds of
the school board of Garden Plain. owes
considerable money to people in and
around Garden PLANE and also in this
city and it is also possible that he may
be a forger.
DR.. Martin borrowed some $500 to finish
and furnish his Office and gave promis-
sorry note as security. He worked into
the confidence Of several persons and Sc
cured Endorsements on his note and it
begins 10 look as if these persons would
be called upon to pay the money.
1t was stated yesterday by a citizen of
Garden Plain that a number of persons
expected Dr. Martin to disappear long ago
as he has not been very attentive to his
practice and had lost considerable bust
ness. It was reported that his family
had Joined a church and this seemed to
inspire some confidence in him.
Mrs. Martin denies knowing anything
about the doctors whereabouts and saws
that with the exception of one letter sent
here from this city on February in
which the doctor stated that he was go
ing to look for a new location. she has
not heard from him. 1t was stated yes
terday by persons who claimed to know
that she received a letter from her nus
band the first of the week. 1t was mailed
on a train.
Within the past few days it has been re-
ported in this city that there are a num-
Der OF unpaid warrants outstanding
he,
that the doctor had refused to pay these
when presented to him. These warrants
are said to be OF considerable amounts
and that crisis was brewing and would
come to a head I'm short time if Dr. Mar
Tin had not brought it about himself
1t was learned yesterday that the war
rant on which Or. Martin secured the
money from the bank here was signed by
r. p. Garnett
Now 81 has been learned that r. P. Car
nett is not even a member OF the school
board of District Ice. of which district
Or Martin was treasurer. He was a
member of the board Of district SC. which
was consolidated with loo some years ago
]. T. Garnett is a member of the school
board Of district 1o2 and he should have
signed the warrant
The warrant was honored by County
Treasurer Boone. as he did not know the
signature of every member of every
school board in the county and without
much time and work spent in looking up
the election returns. could not verify
the name Of the members OF the boards.
All that was required was that the man
who drew the warrant be identified and
This was done 10 the satisfaction OF the
treasurer. and he honored the warrant.

GAS LEASES SECURED.
Chanute Company Will Drill at Null
vane,

A company of capitalists from Neode-
sha, Chanute and independence has Sc
cured leases on twelve thousand acres of
land near Mulvane, and has shipped two
complete drilling outfits from Chanute
to Mulvane, and will begin work at once
prospecting for gas and oil. 1t is stated
that the company intends to pipe gas
to Wichita and Wellington, in the event
these two cities are slow about develop
ing the gas closer at home. and provid-
Ing, of course, that they can secure fran
chiseS.
The drills are said to be on the ground
at Mulvane, and the work of placing them
and beginning operations viii go forward
at once. The company certainly has great
faith in the possibilities of finding gas in
this county. They are not relying solely
upon securing franchises in Wellington
and Wichita, but expect to find oil as
well as gas.

ARGUMENTS
ON MARCH 4
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Sets the Date.
HEARING ORAL ARGUMENTS
In the Five Cases Brought by
City Against Railroads.

Last night City Attorney A E. Helm
received a telegram from the chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
saying that the cases of the the city OF
Wichita against a number of railroad
corporations for alleged determinations in
Aerig-. rates against Wichita had been
set down for formal argument before
the commission in their rooms in Wash
ington, D. c., on March 4th.
For some weeks the attorneys who han
died the case before the commission last
October nave been waiting for the an
nouncement OF the date when the oral
arguments were to be heard.
City Attorney Helm with S. S. Ash
baugh and George Adams as counsel, con-
Quoted the case for the city, the CONNER
Cal organizations and business men at
the hearing before the commission in this
city. The commissions stenographers
took al of the evidence at the trial and
transcribed it and copies were furnished
this city and the railroads. From these
the city's attorneys prepared their briefs
which have been mentioned in the Eagle
end a synopsis of the arguments offered
made. The briefs were served and the
commission announced some time ago
that as soon as possible they would set
q date for the oral arguments.
These arguments are supplemental to
the briefs and are used to make the po-
sitions of the city stronger and the diff
ferent sections of their evidence clearer.
The arguments are 10 be made on five
cases, relating to grain and grain pro-
ducts, lumber rates, coal rates, sugar
and the differential on grain and -four
between Kansas City and Texas points.
The citys attorneys showed a strong
case at the hearing and they feel that
their labors Will result in much good to
the city and her business men.
The city must have some attorneys who
understand the cases to make the argu-
ments before the commission. AT the
council meeting Monday night this mat
ter will be taken up and disposed of
when arrangements will be made to send
at least one and probably two attorneys
70 Washington to argue the case.

GOOD MOTHERS. NEEDED
Maternal Influence, Most Powerful
in Shaping Child's Character,
Says DR.. Crowle.

The Minnesota Electric, Medical society
which has been in session at the eWst
hotel adjourned this noon. The interest
ing papers read this morning were: "He-
:redity," by DR.. Crowle, Of Minneapolis;
"Erysipelas,'' Dr. Balcome, ST: Paul, and
"Gynecology,' DR.. Ray, Of Mountain Lake,
Mimi
4 In the general discussion that followed
particular attention was directed toward
DR.. Crowle's paper. He had spoken Of the
influence of maternal impressions in shap-
Ing the future Of the child, declaring that
the mothers relation to the child was of
a paramount Importance either for good
or evil In determining the mentality OF
her offspring, no matter what the paternal
disposition might have been. The import
ance was thus emphasized Of surrounding
the mother with such influences as would
nave the best possible effect on the mental
development of the child.

VALUES GO KITING
Available Sites for New Hatchery at
Glenwood Suddenly Become
Expensive.
New Fish and Game Board Discovers
!. Situation at It's First
Meeting.

The new fish and game comm ission held
Its first meeting to-day at St. Paul end
organized by electing the following off,
GERS: President, Uri L.. Lamprey, St.
Paul; first vice president, H. G. Smith,
Winona;t second yice-president, William
Bird, Fairmont; secretary, D. w. Meeker,
Moorhead; executive agent, S.. F.. Fuller

1t was decided that a treasurer was not
necessary, as the new law provides that
vouchers must be presented direct to the
state auditor. 4 II, t.s.a sgs=r 81
The executive agent was authorized to
advertise for bids for the completion Of
| the two new ponds at the fish hatchery.
Representative T. T. Ofsthun of Glen
wood brought before the board the mat
ter Of the new fish hatchery to be erected
at Glencoe, for which the Legislature
appropriated $4,000. The board decided
that it was essential that work comm ence
at once and the first thing necessary is
the selection Of site. The board will
visit Glenwood on June 10, remaining two
or three days for that purpose. 5
The patriotism Of Glenwood seems sud-
denly to have cooled in one respect. Be
fore the passage Of the bill it was re-
ported that the people would almost be
willing to give the state a site. Since the
passage of the bill, all available land for
a site has more than doubled in price in
the estimation of owners. Every site SO
far mentioned as likely one is now
valued at SIS, 600. Land that has been SELF
ing for $40 and $50 an acre Is now quoted
to the commission at 500 an acre. II

S. n. fowler Thinks Robert E. Lees
Statue Shouldn't Stand in
National Capitol.
He Respects Lee, but Believes the
Statue Would Be Inap-
propriate.

s. III. fowler, adjutant general under
Judge Ell Torrance, late commander -in-
chief Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
says there is q vast difference between
honoring the southern dead and placing
statues in the national capitol in COM
memoration Of the great leaders Of the
lost cause who bore arms against the gov
eminent at Washington. @6
II fatter myself, said Mr.. fowler,
that i am not narrow in such matters.
No one desires more earnestly than to
see all sectional lines wiped out in this
great repu blic.s I want to do all that is
possible and consistent with the dignity of
the men who were instrumental in the
preservation of the union to make us for
get that there is in the sectional sense
any north or south, But In, our haste to
heal the wound we must not forget that
there is an eternal fitness OF things to be
observed 1t strikes me that the national
capitol is peculiarly the place where this
fitness should be observed.
"All honor to the great Lee. If he
could live agafn--if his wishes could have
been consulted-I am convinced that he
would have rebuked the Virginians who
are now seeking to have statue erected
In his honor in the capitol, under the law
allowing each state SO to recognize a ia
|syortte son. The Grand Army and Loyal
Legion thruout the country are fully JUS
titled In their protest against such repre-
sentation, and are within bounds in de-
manding the amendment of the law so as
to exclude from the great group the statue
OF any man who has borne arms against
his country. Such a man was Lee.
"All honor to the man who did his duty
as he saw 1t and who, when it came to the
crucial test, as between state and coun-
try, sided with the old Dominion Yir-
ginians have reason to be proud Of him;
we all have. Every one at all familiar
with the life Of Lee appreciates the nobi1-
ity of his character and how his great soul
was torn with the conflicting emotions
OF allegiance to the old flag and the more
immediate sense of duty, as it seemed to
him, to the state government. He finally
decided for the state and became an
enemy of the central government at
Washington.
The war must suffice to teach some
lessons to future generations. We cannot
afford, for it's moral effect alone to con-
Vey to posterity the impression that Rob-
ert p. Lee, as a secessionist, was mar
tyr, more sinned against than SHINING.
There are enough great Virginians whose
loyalty to union one and inseparable,
has never been questioned to represent
the state as proposed without urging Lee
for such distinction. 1t would be as rea
sonable to ask Atlanta to erect a statue
| to Sherman, who laid waste Georgia, in
his march to the sea- ss.

FIGHT FOR ROOM
War On Between Mining Instructors
and Chemistry Students

On account Of the cramped quarters Of
the ore-testing plant at the university,
the mining instructors are waging war
against the students Of the school of
chemistry.
Ore-testing is included in both the min
Ing and the chemical courses for the senior
year" In the mining course the students
are required to finish all the advanced
mathematics before they are allowed to
take any senior work. In the school OF
chemistry they are not required to do this,
and the mining faculty threatens to ex-
clude the chemists from the ore plant un-
less they conform to this rule ISL
The course in oretesting, they affirm,
is primarily for the mining students, and
they must be exclusive in order to uphold
the record Of the school,
On the other hand. the members Of the
chemical school faculty say that the sub
|ject Is on their prescribed course Of study
and their students are going to take the
work whether the miners wish 1t or not
The regents have Incorporated the sub
|ject in both courses. and unless some
change is made in the summer vacation
the students will have to fight for workins
rooms when the plant opens next fall !.
