DEATH FROM DIPHTHERIA
Little Bessie King, of Polk School,
the Victim.

Indications are that the gross care
lessness of City Physician w. D. Storrs
will result in another epidemic, this
time of diphtheria.
Little Bessie King, the daughter of
A. j. King, 1906 Fillmore street, died
Friday after sickness of six days
with diDhtheria. The little girl attend
ed Polk school until few days prior
TO her death. when she was Obliged to
stay in her bed.
All during the chi1d's illness the city
physician did nothing to protect the
other pupils at Polk school, who had
been exposed. and even the fact that
the little girl was sick was suppressed
by the city physicians orders, and the
parents of Polk street school children
We're unaware of the danger. This is
part of StCrrs' System for encourag-
ing the spread of eoidemics
Since the death of Bessie King Oc-
Cured the city physician has been
reused to action. and has. it is said. or
dered that Polk school be fumigated
1t is likely that even this action was
demanded by the board of education
officials
Storrs has instructed his men at the
sanitary Office to deny that there is any
dlphtheria in town, and they help cir
cuiate the falsehood. 1t may be that
no reports have been received by Storrs
of such cases of disease for there is
reason to believe that the records of
the health office are being kept in
way to suit Mr.. Storrs' own neculiar
methods. He refuses to allow the pub
lie to inspect the records of his depart
mers.

AMONG THE MAIL
What a Railway Mail Clerk Found.

Strange tales are told of what men in
the U. S. Railway Mail service some
times find.
There was one clerk. hungry and
down-hearted who found a food hint
one night in the following way: For
months I suffered from chronic indiges-
ton, impoverished blood and shattered
nerves caused by the improper selec-
ton of food. Was in the habit of max
ing a breakfast of coarse and pasty
food accompanied by the free use of
coffee and these combined to almost
shatter my digestive organs
Il was employed in the Railway Mail
service and assigned to duty on night
line where it was necessary to eat at
irregular hours during the night Ev
erything I ate no matter how light not
only failed to nourish but distressed
and nauseated me and I was reduced in
weight from $50 to 122 pounds. My
memory was fast failing and I was a
nervous wreck unfit for duty and dis
couraged in view of the fact that must
soon give up my good position.
zone night when the world seemed
darkest to me read among sack of
mail the words Grape Nuts and Won
dered if it was something good to eat.
Arriving at the end of my run l bought
a package, and nothing ever tasted bet
ter; from that day began to gain men
tally and physically. 1 gained II
pounds in two months on Grape Nuts
food and kept on steadily increasing
my weight to 147 pounds.
.'Grape-Nuts improved and steadied
my brain and nerve powers so that I
was able to pass my next examination
with a good grade and soon got a pro-
motion and was changed to a daylight
run; there is no doubt in the world
that 1 owe my advance in position and
improved health to the proper food
| Grape Nuts in place of improper
foods" Name given by Postum Co,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There was a reason.
Look in each package for copy of
the famous little book, THE Road to
MELVILLE"

SUES FOR $4,000.
Emporia Woman Brings Suit Against
Prominent Citizen.

Emporia. kan, Oct 17.-Mrs. Annie J.
Rounds has entered suit in the district
court here for $4.250 against Charles S.
Fowler for a check for that amount,
given to her, the payment of which was
afterward stopped at the bank The
check, she claims. was given to her in
settlement of a claim against Fowler
for damages caused her by .'hugging
and kissing her against her viii and in
viting her back to his office. Charles
S. Fowler is a member of a large family
of the earliest pioneers of Lyon county,
nearly all of whom are more or less in
fuential citizens. He is vice president
of the Emporia Mortgage company, and
plaitiff claims it was in the ONCE OF
this company that the incident occurred.
while consulting with defendant as to
terms of loan asked by her on her
farm.
The defendant claims the whole thing
to be a piece of blackmail pure and
simple; that it was by advice OF Lam
bert & Higgins. whom he claims had
also been acting as his attorneys III
other business transactions, and to
whom the woman went for advice, that
he made out a check for $4250 and gave
it to Ike Lambert to be handed to the
woman; that Lambert told him the wo-
man intended to sue him for $4,000, and
the best policy was to compromise the
matter as it would be 'unwise to let the
matter become public and would injure
him socially and financially to much
greater extent than the loss of the
amount finally named as a compromise,
that after making out the check, which
was after business hours, he went home
and studied the matter over, concluding
that he would not allow himself to be
