TOPEKA FIRM GETS 1T.
Morse Company to Build Carnegie
Library at Emporia.

The Morse Construction company Of
Topeka has secured the contract for
building the Carnegie library at En-
poria, its bid being s14.S40.
Bids for the general construction OF
the building were offered by three con-
tractors, the Morse Construction COM
pany of Topeka, Latimar & Benning of
Kansas City and J. M. Anderson of
Emporia. J. M. Anderson also bid on
the electrical wiring, heating and
plumbing of the building. F. H
Bowers bid on the heating and plumb
ing, and A E. Gilman on the electrical
wiring
All of the bids fell below the maxi
mum amount, which was $4,000, but
the lowest bidder was the Morse Con-
struction company, which bid, for the
general construction of the building
81, 200 if Cottonwood Falls stone is
used in the construction, $l4,S $40 if Bed
ford. Ind, stone is required, and the
same for stone from Phoenix, Mo. Gill
mans bid for the electrical wiring was
$145; F. H. Bowers bid for the heating
was 81, 800 and for plumbing $500. The
of the building $16,aS5, and as that will
leave a good margin for the furnishing
of the building the council authorized
the city clerk to notify the above con-
tractors that their bids had been &C
cepted.
The Morse Construction company,
which has the big part of the work to
do, expects to begin work on the build
ing within a short time. The difference
in the figures which the Morse COM
pany submitted was based on the kind
of stone to be used in trimming the
building The Bedford stone was
quoted at the highest price and this
will probably be used. This is the same
stone used in the construction of the
government building at Emporia.

..DOETH GOOD"
And AddetIl no Sorrow.

st am an old lady and had used coffee
all my life until a year ago. then L
found a drink that doeth good and
addat5 no sorrow
For many years I had been troubled
with constipation and stomach trouble,
sleeplessness and various other ills and
although 1 had been constantly treated
1 got almost no relief
II have always been great worker
with many cares and often in the
morning 1 would feel unequal to my
daily tasks So I would drink a good
stiff Gun of coffee, of which l was very
fond, and then for two or three hours
afterward I would feel so smart and
buOyant and keyed up to such a high
note that 1 could undertake most any
thing. But along about II o'clock the
reaction would begin and leave me
stranded on a lounge until dinner time.
Then l would get a cup of tea to tide
me over the afternoon. So 1T went on
for number of years, and the great
wonder is that 1 did not collaDse alto
gether. 1 must have had a good con-
stitution. Every month | got little
wo--~-
cat last and with great reluctance 1
was forced to the conclusion that it
was coffee that was the chief cause of
my many troubles. So I looked the
matter up carefully, quit the coffee and
began the use of delicious Postum; the

healt.s.
since I have been using Postum I
do not have that unnatural citation and
consequent reaction. and the craving
for the stimulant has left me: am

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment in a Res
taurant.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on recent western trip, was dining
one evening IN a Pittsburg. restaurant
While waiting for his order he glanc-
ed over his newspaper and noticed the
advertisement Of well known dyspcp-
sla preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; as he himself was a regular
user of the tablets, he began speculat-
alg as to how many of the other traV-
cling men in the dining room were also
friends of the popular remedy for indi-
gestion.
He says: I counted twenty-three men
at the tables and in the hotel office 1
took the trouble to interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine of the
twenty three made a practice of taking
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal
One Of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road, but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from Indigestion, but he continued
their use, especially while travelling on
account of irregularity in meals ana
because like all travelling men he was
often obliged to eat what he could get
and not always what he wanted
Another who looked the picture of
health. said he never ate meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear of a
sleepiess night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach. causing
pressure on heart and lungs, shortncss
of breath and distress in chest. which
he no longer experienced since using
the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rene
dy he had ever found for sour stomach
and acidity. He had formerly used
common soda to relieve the trouble.
but the tablets were much better and
safer to use.
After smoking. drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive or
gans, nothing restores the stomach TO
q healthy. wholesome condition so eff
fectually as Sllart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestive, Bepsin, diastase.
which every weak stomach lacks. as
well as nux. hydrastin and yellow pa
rilla, and can be safely relied on as a
radical cure for every form of poor
digestion. Sold by druggists every
where.

PROBLEM OF THE AGE.
Carnegie Says It Is the Distribution
of Wealth.

New York, March 9-Advice to mil
lionaires as to how to get rid of their
surplus wealth has been given by An
drew Carnegie at a memorial meeting
in honor of Peter Cooper, founder of
Cooper Union.
"One must always honor the pioneers
of humanity" said the iron master.
TT is not to the millions, or by the
millions that the greatest advances are
won; It is to the Individual that we
owe the divine impulse.
1.-THE distribution of wealth is the
greatest problem of the age. I care
not how great an individual a man may
be he must realize that the problem
must first find solution. No man has
better reason than myself to know how
great are the inequalities in the dis
tributicn of wealth.
1.-THE world viii make no progress ex-
cept under the law of Christ. that a
man may reap as he SOwS. 1t is writ
ten that man must work out his own
destiny under his vine and fig tree.
mo revolution ever did much or any
good in this world; no true evolution
ever failed to do anything but good. I
would not wish to be understood as
putting down life as a mere pursuit
of money. I think that a man who has
entered any profession is working for
the advancement of the race The sue
ceSsful completion of Industry is not on
that low type who seeks the boarding
of dollars as his life work. The money
which reaches beyond his wants he
seeks to find use for in the lettering of
others.
I'VE hear a great deal about foreign
mission. He first pointed the way which
some day all millionaires will follow.
He proclaimed that principle that sur
plus wealth is sacred trust which
those who have must exercise in their
life time for the good of the community
from whence it came"

The annual concert by Marshalrs

WONDERFUL CURE
OF SORE HANDS
by Cuticura After the
Most Awful Suffering
Ever Experienced.
EIGHT DOCTORS
And Many Remedies Failed
to do a Cents Worth
Of Good.

stAbout five years ago was troubled
with sore hands, SO sore that when I
would put them in water the pain would
very nearly set me crazy, the skin would
peel OF and the flesh would get hard
and break. There would be blood flow
ing from at least fifty places on each
hand. Words could never tell the suf
fering 1 endured for three years. I
tried everything that was told to use
for fully three years, but could get no
relief. I tried at least eight different
doctors, but none of them seemed to do
me any good, as my hands were as bad
when I got through doctoring as when
l first began. / also tried many reme-
dies, but none of them ever did me one
cents worth of good. l was discour-
aged and heRrt-sOre. / would feel SO
bad mornings when I got up, to think
I had to go to work and stand the pain
for ten hours, and / often felt like CIV
ing up my position. Before started
to work mornings I would have to
wrap every finger up separately, so
as to try and keep them sofs and then
wear gloves over the rugs to keep
the grease from getting on my work
At night / would have to wear gloves
in bed. In fact, had to wear gloves
all the time. But thanks to Cuticura,
the greatest of all great skin cures.
After doctoring for three years, and
spending much money, SOC. box of
Cuticura Ointment ended all my suffer-
ings. It's been two years since used
any and / don't know what sore hands
are now, and never lost days work
while using Cutfcura Ointment"

In the first movement of her Senate

1t is the intention of the organization
to discontinue the paid concerts and
