committee that battleshi2s Of 1900 tons
displacement as compared with those of
5000 tons displacement would be deficient
in speed. in coal carrying capacity. in de
fensive and offensive power, in ammuni-
ton, in seaworthiness and habitability.
They will not be acceptable" he said, TO
the people of the country, who demand
batteships as good, if not superior. to any
in existence
Chief Constructor Bowles. who also ap-
peared before the committee, entered into
technical discussion of the relative value
of the two types of vessels from a stand
point of construction and pointed out that
it was impossible to have coal capacity,
speed, armOr and armament all of the
highest type in a 120G0 ton vessel. Some
thing must be sacrificed he said
At the conclusion of the hearing the COM
mittee adjourned pending the printing Of
the report of the hearing. When this re-
port was placed in the hands of the con
ferees on the bill Senator Hale realized
that in view of the strong testimony given
by the members of the board of construc-
ton it would be unwise to pursue his op-
position to 5000 ton ships further and
compromised by accepting two of the
smaller ships in place of the armored
cruiser. The testimony clearly showed
that the United States purposes to build
larger rather than smaller vessels.

KANSAS RIVER DAM.
Several Projects for One Are
Under Way.

Two separate eastern companies are
in correspondence with the Commercial
club in regard to the purchase of the
franchise for the construction of the
Kansas river dams for the construction
of which authority has just been given
by the legislature. 1t will probably be
come time yet before any arrangement
viii be completed under which work
may be commenced upon the dams but
the members of the club who have been
instrumental in securing the franchise
feel very hopeful of seeing the dam
construction actually accomplished The
franchise extends for a period of TWEEN
ty years
Some very complete drawings and
records of surveys and estimates for a
dam near Silver Lake made by the late
Colonel William Tweedale have lately
been discovered. The drawings were
made upon faded blueprint in the
possession of NJ w James of Silver
Lake, upon whose property the dam
was projected. The drawing was made
in 1887 and shows very careful and COM
prehensive work. 1t provides for a dam
over the Kansas river at Willard, a
short distance west of Silver Lake, with
mill race dug out on the north side
Of the river to connect with the lake
proper, which is an old bed of the river
extending in a loop about two miles in
circumference ON the north side of the
present channel The power house was
to have been located at the point where
the west end of the lake connects with
the river. The point selected for the
dam site was very close to the right OF
way of the Rock Island railroad where
it goes through Willard
1t is believed that the drawing, which
shows elevations and measurements
complete, win be of service a the pres
ent time as it is designed that one OF
the three dams shall be located at or
west of Silver Lake Almost all OF
Colonel Tweedale's other apers were
burned in his house and only the facl
that this one had gone out of his pos
session led to its preservation. Colonel
Tweedale was a civil engineer and. pro-
jected many schemes similar to this one
not only in Topeka but elsewhere. He
died in 1900

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can intrest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that will make
him feel better because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic dis
ease he no longer feels the buoyancy
and vigor of twenty-five nor the free
dom from aches and pains he enjoyed in
earlier years, and he very naturally ex-
amines with interest any proposition
looking to the Improvement and preser-
walton of his health.
He win notice among other things that
the stomach of fifty is a very different
one from the stomach he possessed at
twenty five. That greatest care much be
exercised as to what is eaten and how
much of it. and even with the best of
care. there viii be increasing digestive
weakness with advancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve the
digestion and assimilation Of food is one
which interests not only every man of
ffty but every man, woman and child
OF any age, because the whole secret OF

As TO have a stomach which viii prompt

AS Or. Bennett says, the only reason

with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because a
