Games Whitcomb Riley's Habit Is to
Get Shaved on Sunday.

indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 4.-James
Mhitcomb Riley, the poet, was a wit
ness in Justice Stout'S court in the
trial of William Miller for keeping his
barber shop open on Sunday Mr.. Ri
fey's testimony was important, as he
was shaved in the shop contrary to
law He acted as if he would rather
have been somewhere else.
The first question was direct.
did you get shaved on Sunday, Oc-
tober 9, Mr.. Riley?" asked Attorney
Leo Rappaport-
Il did, was the terse answer.
WAS William Miller there?" was
asked next
He was" replied Mr.. Riley, without
smile or metaphor.
Mr.. Riley, 1 will ask you how Mr..
Miller acted while you were in there ?''
At this question the first smile came
to the face of Mr.. Riley and he be-
came facetious.
Il should say" he replied. that Mr..
Miller acted about the same as he does
any other day. At least saw no now
city in his actions. 1t is customary
for me to get shaved on Sunday. I have
been getting shaved on Sunday for
several years. Mr.. Miller acted in the
customary manner, I should say
Miller was found guilty and fined.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 4.-Coach Ken
nedy has abolished scrimmage in the
Jayhawker camp until after the Notre
Dame game on Saturday. He was not
satisfied with the work the men were
doing and said that scrimmage seemed
to take all of the life out of the play
erS.
But little is known here of the
Hoosiers' actual strength and the re-
port has spread that an old football
player who saw Kansas defeat Wash
burn and also saw Notre Dame play
this season says Kansas can certainly
beat the Indiana eleven.
1t is reported that the players are
growing stale. Captain Hicks and
Coach Kennedy are worried. Hicks has
Been expressing considerable confidence
until today, when he said: 81 don't
know what to think about that game
now We are going to give Notre Dame
all we have, but the way the team is
doing now is certainly discouragi ng.
The men are not in a bad condition,
not one of them but they are acting
lust as they did after the Nebraska
game last year and before the Missouri
game. There's something wrong.
Outside of the football squad but lit
tie is known of the actual work of the
men, Coach Kennedy has instituted
secret practice.

The Root of the Matter.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to
First PRINCIPLES.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities, by too close
attention to business. too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability. making it impos-
sible to apply himself to his daily bust
ness, and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he says: ct con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my case,
but all the same they each failed to
bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years / went from pillar to post, from
one sanitarium to another, I gave up
smoking, I. quit coffee and even re-
nOunced my daily glass or two OF beer,
but without any marked Improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
a well-known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and 1 had
often perused the newspaper advertise
mentS of the remedoy, but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine would touch my case
ITO make a long story short finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two = or

casionally 4 tablet between meals,
when L felt any feeling of nausea OF

| first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
1 was certain that Stuart'S Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely,
and they did not disappoint me. 1 can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
/ cigar, and no one would suppose 1 had
| ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity L wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
contained, and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aSeptic pep
sin Government test), malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which di-
gest food regardless of the condition of
| the stomach.
The root of the matter is this, the
digestive elements contained in Stuart's
| Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
| give the overworked stomach chance
| to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tones never give real
strength, they give a fictitious strength,
, invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop of blood, every nerve and tissue is
manufactured from our daily food, and
if you can insure its prompt action and

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will
have no need of nerve tonics and SAM

Leavenworth Mill Wants City to Pay
Flood Loss.

Leavenworth, Nov. AT the meet
ing of the city council last night A. A.
Fem, on behalf of the Broadway Man
ufacturing company, presented to the
city council claim of damages in the
sum of S19,907, said to have been caused
by the great flood in Three Mile creek
last spring. The claim was referred to
the committee on such topics.
1t will be remembered that during
the unprecedented floods caused by the
heavy rains of last spring Three Mile
creek swelled to such proportions as TO
flood the machine rooms and lumber
yards of the Broadway planning mill
doing a great amount of damage to
machinery and carrying away lumber
from the yards. The stream also over
flowed in many other places causing
damage aggregating nearly quarter
million dollars. Previous to the I'M
paralleled flood of last spring the bed
of the creek had always been ample to
carry off triple any amount of water
which ordinarily passed through it and
a flood like last years was hardly cal
culated as a possibility.

SUBWAY HEADACHE.
\ New Ailment Makes It's Appearance
in New York

New York, Nov. 4.-The subway
headache is New York's latest and
most particular ailment. It is not
necessarily acquired in the subway
tavern; in fact, is not that brand OF
headache at all, though in some of its
characteristics il is not dissimilar to
the tavern kind.
1t is said to be due to constant daZ-
zle before the eyes as the train goes
through the big tunnel. The subway
headache comes on with rush, and
like all headaches that come to per-
sons whose eyes are a bit off normal
is the result of some optical effect
upon them. 1t is about the forward
portion of the head.
