MIR. HAZEN'S LITTLE WAY.

The beginning of our acquaintance
was a pleasant incident. l had been
lured into the drug store by a bargain
in toilet soaps, and Hazen had entered
into a lengthy but interesting. disserta-
ton on the subject of f1y-specked toilet
soap at three cents a cake. when a
man came rushing into the store and
exclaimed:
My. heavens, man, but you sold me
morphine for quinine, and have killed
my wife!"
l jumped foot high and felt my
hair trying to stand on end, but not so
with the druggist. He finished his lee
ture by warning me that sassafras-
scented soap was not made from sas-
safras root-not by jugful-and then
calmly turned to the man and said:
Lets see. Your name is Dover,
isn't it?'
Yes, and my wife has taken two of
your morphine capsules and won't live
an hour
Just so-just so. Will you have a
glass of soda ME-. Dover?"
Great Scott but how could you talk
soda to me after making such terri
BILE mistaken" shouted the excited man.
You see," continued Mr. Hazen. as
he toyed with a toothbrush taken from
the basketful on the show case, you
were in here about half an hour ago.
You asked for quinine capsules Had
your wife taken two of them after she
got home she would not be in dying
condition now. It takes morphine-eVen
if l had made a mistake-longer to act.
A doctor and a stomach pump would
save her, but she does not want to be
saved. There's no need for her to be
saved may also observe in the same
breath that there was no need of your
running a mile and coming in here all
excited. 1 sold the last bit of morphine
in the store this morning. and though
I telegrapned for more it has not ar
rived vet Where there is no morphine
there can be no morphine capsules. Do
YOU follow me. Mr. Dover?
Then you-you-
''Then.1 put up Quinine."
THANK heaven-thank heaven" al
most sobbed the relieved husband, as
he started for home to reassure ms
wife.
''AsI was saying" resumed the drug
gist. as he turned to me and ran his
finger over the toothbrush in an alb
sent way, II am not contending that
fy-specks add to the virtues of toilet
soap, but neither will admit that they
detract. It is an open question:
problem that may not be solved for
years to come, and I have wrapped you
up five cakes at three cents cake.

Racing at Columbus.

Columbus, o., Sept 26.-Favorites
swept the card at the getaway day of
the grand circuit meeting. but Tom
Keene was the only horse to win with
out a desperate struggle.
The second race, won by Dan T., de-
veloDed into the fastest trotting event
of the year. Dan T. was Z to favor
ite and went easily in the first heat,
which was won by rhythmic in 2:06%,
ecord-breal<ing time for the horse and
the year. Rhythmic led in the second
mile until collared by Dan T. in the
stretch. Then the blind horse gave it
up. Rhythmic, by breaking, put himself
and Dan L. out of the going in the
third heat, and Charley Herr, under
the whip. nosed out F'ereno. Geers
made sweeping drive with Dan t.
through the stretch in the fourth heat
and beat out rhythmic by two lengths.
Johnny Wiseman, the even money
choice for the 2:10 pace, found Foxy
Curd the contender. Both horses took
it easy in the first heat In the next
mile both were pushed hard, and the
Wiseman horse cut his record all to
pieces to win. He had to step the last
two heats even faster.
Walnut Hall was a to favorite in
the 2;09 trot. He did not get down to
smooth going until the third heat and
then the others were too tired to with
stand his rushes at the finish.

first notice of this alleged marriage was
made public about two months after
the announcement of the engagement
of Lieut.. Burbank to a young society
girl of Leavenworth.
The story of the Filipino marriage of
Lieutenant Burbank which he proclaims
is a fraud comes from Valladolid prov
inee where Lieutenant Burbank was in
command of a garrison of United
States troops in 1901 Mrs NazqueS,
who was a widow with three small chill
dren, lived in the village where the
garrison was located 1t is said her
Filipino husband was killed by the
Spanfards.
Lieutenant Burbank came to Fort
Leavenworth a year ago and less than
six months ago a report followed that
he was married to Filipino woman.
Lieuteant Burbank was startled with
this report, which came to him through
the war department at Washington
Lieutenant Burbank denied the truth of
it. The Filipino widow followed this up
by filing copies of a document pur-
porting to be a marriage contract with
Lieutenant Burbank
To offset this Lieutenant Burbank
and Corporal Burns sent affidavits to
the war department stating that Lieu
tenant Burbank was not in the village
but was out on campaign at the date
of the pretended marriage. Also that
there was no notice of the marriage
posted or announced by the town crier
going UP and down the streets of the
village and proclaiming it according to
the Filipino custom and that the pre-
tended marriage is a fraud and any
document to back 1t a forgery.
1t is said that Lieutenant Burbank
solution of the affair is that Justice
of the peace or president of the village
where he commanded the troops was
Imprisoned for six months for insub-
ordination; that the justice had charge
of the records and in his anger and to
get even with him Lieutenant Bur-
bank) permitted the woman to apply
and make out a marriage certificate. His
object in filing the suit here is TO clear
up his record. According to the Kansas
divorce laws the woman has forty days
to answer. She will not have time to
do so as it would require at least three
months to prepare any defense and file
it by a person now living in the Philip
pines.

SUES FILIPINO WIFE.
Lieutenant Burbank Wants Pretend
ed Marriage Annulled.

Leavenworth. Kas. Sept. 26.-First
Lieut.. Sidney S. Burbank. Sixth in
fantry. stationed at Fort Leavenworth.
filed a suit in the Leavenworth county
district court to have a pretended mar
riage with Mrs. Conception Vazques, a
Filipino woman annulled. The petit
tion in the case is brief, but it is out of
the ordinary. 1t says in part:
Mrs. Conception Nazques will take
notice that she has been sued and that
the plaintiff has filed his petition
against her in said court for annull-
ment of the pretended marriage con-
tract. and that she must answer the
petition before November A. 1903, or
said petition will be taken as true and
judgment will be rendered against her
accordingly of the following nature, to
WI.
Judgment that the pretended mar
riage contract claimed by the defend
ant with the plaintiff be set aside as a
forgery. a nullity and a fraud upon
this plaintiff and that all pretended
public documents in the municipality of
Valladolid. Occidental Negros, in the
Philippine islands or elsewhere. per
tanning to such alleged marriage, be
Cancelled and declared utterly null and
void. and that said defendant be de-
clared to have no right or claim upon
the plaintiff or his property"
The filing OF this suit is the outcome
of charge made by Mrs. Vazques to
the war department in the spring that
Lieut.. Burbank had married her while
in the Philippine service as an officer
and that she was his lawful wife and
she wanted him to support her. The

Wichita Furnishes Carload Of
Stocks.
SaWn from Walnut Logs for
Eastern Firm.
AIN e OO0 nE THEM
ARE 5000 OF THEM.
Every Knot and Bad Grain
Carefully Avoided.
The Lumber VIII Be Worth at
Least 81, 500.

Wichita, Kas., Sept. 26.-The Beacon
-ays: A few weeks ago the Arkansas
Valley Fence company Of this city
closed a contract with the Winchester
Repeating Arms company, of New
Haven. Conn, for a carload of blanks
for gun stocks to be sawn from Kan
sas walnut lumber in proper size and
shape for the use to which it is to be
put, and for several days the big band
saw at the company's factory has been
busy preparing the blanks for ship
nent. Under a shed in the rear Of the
once are piled a large number of the
blanks. which are placed in dry
place as soon as they are sawn into
shane.
The blanks are sawn from two-inch
seasoned walnut lumber procured from
walnut creek in Butler and Cowley
counties. Each blank is in two pieces,
the larger for the butt and smaller
piece for the grip. There will be 5000
OF each size. and it will take the iarg-
est sized box car. obtainable to hold
them. This will be easy to believe
when it is known that the larger pieces
are about 20 inches in length, two
inches thick and tapering from three
inches to six inches in width while the
smaller pieces are about eight inches
long and taper from one and one-hal1
10 three inches in width.
Every blank is carefully marked on
the large walnut planks before they
20 to the saw. Every knot and check
is avoided and not even a trace of sap
wood is left sufficiently large that 1t
would show on the finished stock. With
this care in selection there seems to
be good reason to believe that this
carload OF stuff from Kansas will sup
ply the stocks for fully 5000 guns.
Mr.. Soderstrom, the proprietor of
the factory, said this morning that the
caload OF blanks was worth in the
neighborhood of 81, 500.
Kansas walnut lumber is in demand
for purposes of this kind in all parts
of the country. The Kansas climate
not only produces hardy people, but
there is something about it that makes
a superior quality of timber, and the
walnut lumber that grows along the
creeks and rivers of this state is
straighter and better grained than any
70 be found in the east. and from all
over the county users of walnut lum-
Der are anxious to get their supply
from this state.

We have before us a little work on kidney
diseases BY Joseph +. Edwards NJ. D., OF Phila-
Nelphia, that contains some things that every
one ought to know. Many people imagine
srtghts Disease is rare, when, in fact it
ooVers nearly the whole gamut Of kidney dis
eases This book sets out that the kidneys have
but one function, viz, the elimination Of the urea
end waste products, and that all interferences
with that function are called Bright's Disease
Or. Edwards adds: For the benent OF physi-
clans who may read this book will give a list
Of the cases which 1 attribute to Bright's
Disease, viz:
Albumenuria.
Congestion Of the Kidney.
Degeneration OF the Kidney.
Fatty Degeneration OF the Kidney.
Inflammation OF the Kidney.
Disease Of the Kidney
Thus nearly all kidney disease being Bright's
disease, the serious question is. is It in the
primary or secondary stageg After the eighth
- tenth month it becomes chronic and is then
lncurable by all known means except the Fulton
