rescued from the Infatuated policeman
torney Joseph Reed. Henderson left the
court house swearing that he would get
his revolver and come back and kill
Talbot. Before he could come back
he was arrested on a warrant issued by
the county attorney.
The assault was the outcome of fam
lily troubles. Talbot, a brother-in-law
of Henderson's, was charged with as
saulting Edith Peterson, the daughter
of sister of Henderson's, on the night
of the last flood when the Peterson and
Talbot families took refuge in a barn
on the south side of the river after they
were driven from their homes in North
Topeka.
The trial in the city court was set
for some days ago and when called for
trial the Peterson girl was missing. 1t
was discovered that she had been spirit
ed away to Kansas City. Henderson
went there and brought her back to
testify against Talbot, but from the
testimony she gave and that of others,
it seems that the witnesses were tam
pered with and although she told
straight story to the county attorney
when the complaint was issued she did
not testify in a damaging manner
against Talbot this morning and Judge
McCabe dismissed the defendant saying
that the testimony was weak
Henderson was Infatuated. He threat
ened Talbot just outside the court

with his club until he dropped 1t. Tai

the stairs. Henderson overlook him
and at the top of the stairs threw him,
down and dubbed him with a billy
made of a piece of hose.
Henderson is a large man and Talbot
small man. The cries of Talbot and
of his wife and the swearing and ours

crowd from the court house offices.
Hungate and Reed separated the men.
Henderson said he was going to get
his revolver and come back and kill
Talbot. While he was beating the man
Henderson shouted 'I'll kill you: I'll
murder you" and kept up a volley of
threats and swearing.
HcnGerson's colcred friends threat
ened A. NJ. Thomas, the colored lawyer
who appeared for Talbot, that if he
started to leave the court house they
would mob him.
Two years ago Henderson had a man
named Gibson arrested charged with

hearing was set a postponement was

little girl five years ago 1 remained
very weak. was nervous, down
hearted and could not sleep. Every
month I lost a full week in prostration
that left me scarcely strength enough
to drag myself around the house. When
ever that time approached 1t always
filed me with dread. 1t often seemed
to me that I would rather die than live.
zone day last spring a. friend of mine
strongly recommended DR.. williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. and was
induced to give them a trial for my
troubles. Before I got through the first
box experienced great relief. For the
first time in all these years felt that
was gaining a little strength. 1 con-
tinued to use them with hopefulnesS,
and by the time had taken four boxes
1 did not feel like the same woman. The
weakness, the melancholy the restless
ness from which suffered so long have
disappeared and life is entirely differ

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are what
hundreds of women need to change a
wretched into happy existence, to en-
able them to get rid of small worries
altogether, to bear heavy burdens cas-

Anaemia, Irregularities, nervous debil-s

the invigorating influence of these
marvellous pills. They not only cure all
forms of female weakness, but they
supply a fresh store of vitality to the

They are sold by all druggists.

TROUBLE WITH SEWERS.
Street Commissioner Again Resorts to
Use of Fire Engine.

Street Commissioner Frank Snyder is
having a terrible time with his North
Topeka sewers. He found it necessary
again this morning to call out the No.
fire steamer to pump the water
out of the sewer so he could do a little
work.
Mr.. Snyder started in to dig up the
sewer at Jackson and Park. where it
had sunk into the quicksand and bro
ken. He found that it would be nee
essary to dig up the whole sewer inter
section at this point. and relay all the
catch basin connections. He then dis
covered another break in the alley be-
tween Jackson and Van Buren,. and
this is the one which is making the
trouble just now. The water came in
from the sand so fast that it was i'm
possible to work. 1t will probably take
several days to complete the work. 1t
was necessary to order third of a car
load of big sewer pipe from Kansas
City to replace those which has been
broken by sinking into the quicksand.

ON CHARGE OF FRAUD.
j. w. Bailey Is Found Using the Mail
for Improper Purposes.

Leavenworth. ks, July 23.-Before
the United States commissioner, j. w.
Bailey, the colored man who was
charged with using the United States
mails for fraudulent purposes, was
given his preliminary hearing and was
then bound over to the next term of
the United States district court for
trial.
1t seems from the evidence pre-
scented before the court that Bailey
advertised through the various papers
of Kansas for men and women who
would distribute circulars and liter
ature at a salary of $3S weekly. A
number of persons answered the adj
vertisement, one of them being Z. a.
Parsons, of Seneca. Kan.
Parsons was answered that he would
have to send DR." Bailey 81 before
he would be allowed to enter the as
ISOLATION and acquire the secret of
making fabulous amounts of money
in the way above described. The ad-
tus of the work and paraphernalia
upon receipt of the money. Parsons
then sent in the 81.
The answer then came that Bailey
had a book which was to be sold
through the state which would yield
fabulous income to successful agents
He desired the agents to send in the
money for the books and said he
would then forward them.
Parsons theho became wrathy and
sent the "Dr.' a letter in which he
stated that he was not a book agent
and that he was no ID fool" to
send the amount of money required
before receiving the goods. He de-
manded his dollar back. Bailey an
swered that under ordinary circum-
stances he would return the money,
but that Parsons had used uniting
language through the mails and that
he would be proceeded against under
the law. 80
For a time the Seneca, man was
bluffed out, but he took courage, went
before the United States commission
er at Topeka and got out the war
rant Other testimony. went to show
that the offers made by Bailey were
deluding and extravagant and that as
such the people who answered the
advertisements were being defrauded.
1t was also shown that Bailey's book
was not even published when he be-
gan receiving money. 1t was later got
out and circulated to a few news
papers and other firms.
The commissioner stated to Bailey
that it was the plan of the govern
ment to rid the country of all such
frauds for the especial reason that
they were meant to take money
from poor people since the rich
would not NEEDLE with things of that
kind. Bailey was then told that his
bond would be $500 and he was able
to obtain the same.

GOT NO CIRCUS TICKETS.
Topeka City Fathers Had to Pay to
See the Big Show.

A meeting of the streets and walks
committee was called for this after
noon, but it fizzled because too many
of the members of the committee want
ed to go to the circus. This is rather
strange. because circus tickets were not
passed out to the city officials this year.
The license was too high.
The object OF the committee meeting
was to consider the advisability of
using a lot of dirt from the Kansas
avenue paving excavation to regrade
Kansas avenue from Nineteenth to
Twentieth. At present the water flows
toward the creek from Nineteenth creek
and the tendency is to cut down the

go to the river

this city on time. Today it was the
latter case.
The reason the show was late in
reaching Topeka today is found in the
explanation that of the railway en-
gines which were sent from Topeka to
Leavenworth to haul the circus to To-
peka, became derailed. and blocked the
line. Consequently other engines had
to be procured and the circus was run
around by way of Atchison and to To-
peka over the St. Joe branch of the
Santa Fe.
For the first time in many visits to
Topeka. Ringlings have an ideal day
for their show. The weather could
not be better. The mercury was not so
high that it was uncomfortable.

This year the parade was declared

finer wagons and finer exhibits than
ever.
The circus travels with it's own trains.
The 81 cars are made up in five sec
tions. and it is no small task for Ine
railway officials to provide ample
switching yards to accommodate the
circus. Nearly 700 horses are used, and
the circus has a payroll of 1900 en-
ployes.
The main tent which covers the three
rings. two stages and hippodrome track
is Zl5x465 feet in size. and besides the
big tent, Il others are needed for varl-

The big tent seats $4,000 persons at

Circus Management.
Few people realize the magnitude
of the circus of today. Ringlings is
perhaps the greatest show in the
world. The executive and operating
departments are as finely organized as
the same departments of 4 great rail-
