AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

physician puts the query: Have you
! never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time, the large number OF
| hearty. vigorous old men at the tables.
| men whose ages run from 60 to so years.
many of them bald, and all perhaps gray
hut none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as
to have ESCAPED your observation or COM
ment. but nevertheless it is an object
| lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating, you will observe
that they are not munchins bran crackers
ror gingerly picking their way through q
menu card of new tangled health foods;
on the contrary. they seem to prefer
Juicy roast of beef, properly turned
loin of mutton, and even the deadly
broiled lobster is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty of wholesome food, and not upon
dieting and an endeavor TO live upon bran
crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat. coffee and
many other good things are rank poisons,
but these cadaverous. sickly looking indi-
viduaIs are a walking condemnation OF
their own theories.
The matter in nut shell is that if the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity. any whole
some food viii be promptly digested;
if the stomach does not do so. and
certain foods cause distress. one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all diculty, because they
supply just what every weak stomach
lacks. pepsin, hydro-chloric acid, diastase
and nux.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels, and in fact are not
strictly a medicine, as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting
it thoroughly, and thus gives a much
needed rest, and giving an appetite for
the next meal.
OF the people who travel, nine out of
ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, know
ing them to be perfectly safe TO use at
any time. and also having found out by
experience that they are a safeguard
against indigestion in any form. and eat
ing as they have to at all hours and all
kinds of food the travelling public for
years have pinned their faith to Stuart's
Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 50 cents for
full sized packages, and any druggist
from Maine to California, if his opinion
were asked, will say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble

WANT SOME
NEW LAWS
Passed to Give Kansas Rail
road Commissioners Power.
BUSINESS MEN TO MEET
In Topeka and Adopt Laws
That are Needed.
BUSINESS MEN TO MEET

Circulars have been sent out by the
| Wichita and Topeka commercial clubs to
the commercial organizations of all cities
of Kansas asking their cooperation in
getting laws passed by the Kansas legis-
| lature that will compel the railroads to
make more equitable adjustment Of the
freight rates.
According to the plan given in this cir
| cular each commercial organization is re-
quested to select a committee of three of
| their most prominent and influential busi-
ness men and the largest shippers of their
cities, and this committee is to meet with
the committees from other cities soon
after the senatorial fight is over. The
exact date has not been selected as yet,
| but will be within a few days.
This committee is to draft the bills
which the commercial interests wish
presented to the legislature, and from the
| general committee a number of men are
to be selected to push the passage of the
/ bill.
| This plan also contemplates the amalga-
| nation of all of the commercial organi-
| cations into one state organization, for
mutual benefit and also to procure more
/ equitable freight rates over the state,
| and place each city, especially Jobbing
! centers, on the same basis, that none Will
| have an advantage over the others. 1t
| has long been claimed that this alleged
| discrimination in freight rates was a de-
| moralizing influence on the wholesale in
/ terests of this state, and the one great
purpose of the organization will be to
evolve some plan to do away with this
| feature of Kansas business life.
| The circular letter was also sent to a
| number of prominent business and manu-
| featuring houses over the state, asking
them to scend representatives to Topeka
| en- the day of the meeting.
AS soon as the committees are selected
| names are sent to Secretary Resing Of
the Commercial club here, who has ac-
| tive charge of the work. Some new laws
governing the railroads and amendments
to the present laws have been announced
and these will be taken up by the COM
mercial organizations and pushed in the
I legislature.
The plan to organize all of the CONNER
cial organizations of Kansas into one
large and powerful association, grew out
of a meeting of grocery jobbers from all
parts of the state in this city some six
weeks ago. The plan was thoroughly
discussed at that time and the organiza-
tions OF grocerymen promised to use their
influence in getting the commercial or
CARNATIONS over the state to take amaze
tive interest in the matter. For several
weeks the copies of the letter have been
sent out, and many replies have been re-
ceived, showing that the business men are
thoroughly alive TO the subject and are
taking an active interest in the work,
and there is no doubt but that the work
of this large state organization, if it is
perfected on a solid basis and the work
outlined practicable, will be of immense
benefit to the people of Kansas.

male were heard in lonely spot in the
extreme southeastern section of the city
and later young woman named Lima
Davis with one eye terribly damaged
and William WhaIen with two front
teeth knocked out, both bleeding pro-
fusely, proceeded toward the home Of the
young woman. The latter's injuries
were of such nature that DR.. Snowden
was summoned to render surgical aid.
Lieutenant Smith was also notified and
upon arriving at the house he found an air
of mystery surrounding everything. 1t
was not long, however, before the lieu
tenant ascertained the facts in the case
and he in company with other officers
went in search of the young man who
had disappeared in the meantime. He
was not arrested, however until this
morning when Officers Knight ard Gill
took him in charge, and the mysterious
assault was explained 1t is alleged that
he accompanied the young woman to
lonely spot short distance east of the
electric railway tracks and near Hunting
creek, when her cries caus ID some one
near by to throw brick at the man who
seemed to have been responsible for his
companions shrieks. The brick struck
the young woman in the face, seriously
iniuring one of her eyes, and carrying
away two of the young mans front teeth.

For or Against Martin.

There has been a rumOr going the
rounds among the political gossips that
the candidacy Of Machen to succeed
Donohoe in the Virginia Senate had re-
suited in a sort estrangement between
Lieutenant Governor Willard and r.
Walton Moore. Mr.. Machen was in
Washington yesterday in consultation
with Mr.. Davis, of Alexandria county.
When the reported arrangement between
the Fairfax gentlemen was mentioned to
him by Mr. Davis, he said that he
thought it was all mistake, that both
Moore and Willard were working in
harmony to secure his nomination. lie
said further that he didn't apprehend
any serious difficulty in winning out.
Speaking to the Times Dispatch cores
pondent about the situation i'll the Alex
andria senatorial district. Mr.. Davis
said 81 do not think Mr.. Machen will
have much trouble until he reaches Alex
andria. There, think, he will have
pretty tight fight. believe that he
will have to line up for Martin or against
him before the contest in Alexandria IS
over" "What effect would this have
on Wizards support for him." Mr.
Davis was asked. 81 hardly think that
Willard would be for him after that, "
was his reply. Mr.. Davis believes that
Machen will win out and be the next
Senator from the Alexandria district,
