Spring Time the Best Season OF the
Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh.
Notwithstanding that a Great Number
of People Have Been Cured Of
Chronic Catarrh by Taking
Pe-rn-na During the Past
Cold Season.
Yet Tt Cannot Be Denied That the
Cold, Wet, Stormy Weather Has
Retarded Many Cures.
And, in Some Gases, Actually Prevent
ed q Cure.

- PRINGTIME has come at last, and
- now Is the time for all catarrh suf-
ferers to begin a systematic course
Of treatment for this disease. The great
est difficulty In the way of treating chron-
10 catarrh Is that the patient is so liable
to catch cold during the treatment and
thus delay q cure.
This liability at this season of the year
Is, In q great measure, removed, and no
one should neglect the opportunity to
take treatment.
Peruna is acknowledged by everyone
to be the only reliable and unfailing cure
OF catarrh wherever it may be located
When you take Peruna you are not ex-
perimenting with an unknown remedy.

N Cold in the Head Or Throat Is AL
most Certain to Develop into Ca
taI.rh If Neglected. ..

~ ATARRH usually begins as a cold
w. in the head or throat and is neg
lected until it becomes chronic;
then 1t begins to dawn on the victim that
he has catarrh. Unless he is very foolish
indeed he will not rest easy until the
catarrh is entirely cured. Thousands
pay no attention to it until-it is too late.
If Peruna is used the cold never be-
comes chronic, and hence catarrh is pre-
vented. But after catarrh has become
thoroughly established. Peruna will
cure it, but 1t will take much longer.
Men and women of national reputa-
ton as well as thousands in the humber
walks Of life publicly endorse Peruna.
Peruna does all that is claimed for it.
1t cures catarrh. ... O.

SURVEYFOROYKES
Engineers Discuss the Plans for
ProtsctiOn.
will Nap Out a Route for Drain
age Ditch.

A meeting of the engineers who will
lend their assistance to the making of
a system of dykes for the protection of
North Topeka against floods was held
this morning in the Office of Col N. H.
Loomis of the Union Pacific.
County Surveyor Rodgers, Chief
Engineer Story of the Santa Fe, Chief
Engineer Berry of the Union Pacific
and Resident Engineer Beye of the I'm
ion Pacific We're there. It was decided
to have County Surveyor Rodgers sur
vey the country and determine the lev
els and report to the engineers at a
later date when it will be definitely de-
cided what sort of a system of dykes
shall be constructed.
A meeting has been called for tonight
at the Lyman school house. north of
town, to discuss dykes. This meeting
means that some difficulty will arise
over the Soldier creek situation Those
who viii attend the meeting are small
farmers in the low lands north of Sol
dier creek. They want benefit dis
trict and a dyke on the north side of
Soldier creek North Topeka people
want a dyke on the south side of the
creek. If dykes are built on both sides
of the creek then extra trouble will fol-
low for with the creek banks dyked on
both sides and leaving but a narrow
heavy rise in Soldier creek one or the
other dykes will probably have to give
way.
To avoid this the engineers this
morning decided to have survey made
for a drainagea. ditch from a. point on
Soldier creek west of town to the Kan
sas river. With this ditch much of the
Soldier creek water would be carried
to the river and the greek would be
relieved.
with such a ditch d" said County
Surveyor Rodgers today, ~the creek
would be relieved and the swamp lands
west of town would be drained. Unless
this ditch is excavated the bed of Sol
dier creek must be cleared of all de-
bris. The ditch is cheaper. The idea
of the engineers now is to excavate
such a ditch and to depend largely on
that. With such a ditch a smaller sys-
tenn of dykes would be necessary as the
Union Pacific and Rock Island railroad
grades would protect North Topeka
from such a flood as we had this year.

sports and games that have demor-
alizing tendency and do not extend
to mere athletic sports. Besides, this
section is penal and therefore to be
strictly construed. In this instance
the words 'or games of any kind fall
under the rule which prescribes that
where general words follow particular
ones they are to be construed as ap-
plicable to things or persons of like
nature. Applying this rule to the case
at bar, no ground is found on which
TO question the correctness of the con-
cluSion reached by the trial court and
the St Louis court of appeals.
1T will be observed that the law,
as announced in this case, has been
concurred in by the trial court, the
court of appeals of St Louis, consist
ing of three judges and by the su-
preme court consisting of seven judges.
These decisions are exactly in point in
the case at bar, and this court must
either refuse to follow them or else
sustain the motion to Quash the in
formation
1T is clear that it was not the in
tention of the legislature to prohibit
games of all kinds, and if it was not
then the courts must determine what
game or games are included within
the statute. The only safe way to
determine this question is to apply the
general rule of construction an
nounced by the supreme court of Mis-
souri,, and recognized by all courts,
that where general words follow par
tcular ones they are to be construed
as applicable to things or persons of a
like nature. If any other rule of con-
struction would be applied, it would
then be left to the judge trying the
case to decide what particular game
or games were included, and this
would lead to confusion and uncer-
tainty, for in a given case the early
training and individual ideas of pro-
priety of one judge would lead to one
decision while in the same case an
other judge of different training and
different ideas of propriety would be
led to a different decision.
Applying the established rule of
the court is of the opin-
ion that baseball does not belong to
that class of games which are prohibit
ed by the statute.
Sometime prior to the rendition of
the decisions quoted above, the Kansas
City court of appeals CVol. 35 D. SAD
decided this question adversely to the
decisions above cited, but that decision
Is not sound in reason or supported by
authority, and was expressly overruled
Oy the supreme court in the case re-
ported in 10s Mo. Rep.
"A popularity of the statute in
question which was not argued and
t does not make the games enumera-
ed unlawful but simply provides a pun
shInent for any person who shall be
of doing the specified things.
In a criminal statute it is usual to
ieclare the thing in question unlawful
md then prescribe a punishment for
he doing of the thing thus prohibited. |
THE motion to quash will be sus- |
ained.''

CAN'T FIND STOCKS.
Securities Worth Nearly 80 Millions
Are Missing.

Baltimore, July 30.-Gov. Warfield
in conformity with the state constitu-
ton, has begun his semi-annual in
spection of the states securities stored
in the vaults of the safe deposit and
trust company, seeking particularly
stock supposed to be held by the state
in the Chesa peake & Ohio canal, but
failed to find it.
Whether the stock was ever issued,
or whether if issued, it has been lost,
is a mystery. 1t was supposed to be
in the safe deposit vaults, but all traces
of it are gone.
The states interests in the waterway
as set forth in the brief of Attorney
General John p. Poe, filed in the court
of appeals, amounts to 29,052,724.
This sum has been largely increased
by interest accommodating.
The canal is now controlled by in
terests of the Baltimore & Ohio. The
Western Maryland railway, the extern
sion of the Wabash to tidewater, wants
to buy the canal for railroad purposes
and Gov. Warield wants the stocks
at the consideration of the question of
sale by the board of public works next
week.

PAYMASTER HELD UP.
Robbers Shoot Him and Garry OFF $3,-
900 in Cash.

Portage, Pa, July 30.-Charles
Hayes, driver employed by the Puri-

today and Patrick Campbell, the COM
pany's paymaster, was fatally wounded
by three men who escaped after TAX
ing a satchel containing $4,000 with
which it was intended to pay the coal
company's employees at Puritan.
The two men were passing in a bug
gy when the robbers armed with shot
guns emerged from the woods near
the road and fired at them. Armed
posses are seeking the robbers and
threaten to lynch them if captured.
Campbell said he thought their assail-
ants were Italians. They began to use
their Shotguns before he and Hayes
who were both armed could get out
their revolvers. Campbell was also the
general superintendent of~the Puritan
mills.

Death of Won Plehve.

New York, July 30.-Five thousand
persons, all that could crowd into
Cooper Union, cheered themselves
hoarse last night over the death of
the Russian minister of the interior,
Won Plehve.
The great hall was dotted wit han
archists, who in frequent frenzieS of
excitement waved red bandannas and
voiced their approval of the assassi-
nation.
At every mention of the bomb
thrower there was a dfn that lasted
sevral minutes and cries of "Leglo,
Leglo, Leglo' echoed through the
hall.
The mass meeting was held by the
United States revolutionists to cele-
brate Won Plehve's death, which they
believe will mark a new era of liberty
for their brethren in Russia. The
leaders of the revolutionists jim New
York city endeavored to keep the an
archists away, but the meeting was
public and the anarchists stole in one
at a time. The police estimated that
500 anarchists were present.
