SEARCHED ALL NIGHT.
No Trace of Miss Ferguson Who Says
She VIII Suicide.

Valley Falls, Kan, Oct. 17.-Three
hundred people of this portion of JEFF
ferson county are searching the wells,
woods and river for Miss Pearl Fergu-
son today. The search began last even
ing at o'clock and was continued
through the night.
Miss Ferguson is the daughter OF
Walter Ferguson, ex-county treasurer
of Jefferson county, a wealthy and
well known citizen
Last spring Miss Ferguson, who is
about 26 years old, had an attack of
measles which left her respondent and
in i'll health.
Late Sunday afternoon she disap-
peared from home, leaving four notes,
one to her sister-in-law, two to her
brothers and the other to her parents.
All of the missives contained the intel
ligence that she was weary of life and
was going away to kill herself.
A general alarm was given and
searching parties were at once organ
led All of the wells in the vicinity
were examined and the Delaware river
dragged thoroughly in this territory.
All through the night the search was
continued and at noon today no trace
of the missing young woman had been
obtained.
Bloodhounds from Beatrice Neb-,
and Oskaloosa are on the ground, but
have struck no trail. Miss Ferguson
was formerly a school teacher and
much esteemed.

BIG WEEK IN FOOTBALL.
Washburn College Has Four Games
On Its Schedule.

Seventeen husky football players
and their coach arrived in Topeka Sun
day night from Wichita, and put in a
good nights sleep in preparation for
what they consider will be the biggest
game of their schedule this afternoon
on Washburn field. The players from
Wichita represent Paramount college,
and Fairmount college has come up
here with the intention of taking a fall
out of Washburn college.
Coach A. F. Holste of Paramount,
who was quarterback on the great CHI
cago university team of 1888, is con-
fident in the ability of his team. He
had the bunch out on the Washburn
field for while this morning, taking
the kinks out of their legs.
'FaiTmount plays good defensive
game" said Coach Holste this morn
ing. I'VE have been able to mold all
the teams we have played against SO
far. No team has been able to make
its gains on US with any regularity.
We realize that Washburn is strong; it
has a little advantage in weight, but
its weight is better disposed than ours
1t has its heavy men in the center OF
it's line"
Coach Hoiste this morning gave out
the following weights for his team:
Right end, Softer. 100.
Right tackle, F. Burton, 165.
Right guard. Roberts,1T5.
Center, Davis. 175-
Left Guard, Isley, 165
Left tackle. Russell, 165.
Left end Miller, 165.
Quarterback C. Burton, $50.
Right half, Belden, $50.

again, Mrs. Nation" timidly suggested
the reporter, IF you start to smash in
Wichita a second time
Il don't care" she laughed reckless
Iy. Il don't care. They can put me into
Jail if they want to. That don't worry
me. The Lord will care of me- I'm
not afraid
And another expansive smile went
over her face.
How will your trial come out?' she
was asked.
''Oh, it will come out all right. That
isn't worrying me one bit. They can't
do anything to me. I'm not afraid of
those Republicans down there. And
I'm going back to show them I'm not
afraid. 1 will go back there. 1 wont
tell you what I'll do, but I'll do some
thing. You can just count on that"
And with this declaration of war
Mrs. Nation hurried away to mail an
armful of letters. She will leave To-
peka in the morning for Dayton. She
said that she would inform the State
Journal within a few days with regard
to the time of her big Topeka meet
ing.

She gaSped for breath and then turn

DO you know what's the matter
with Wichita ?''
The reporter plead lack of time to
tell it all.
IT'S those Republicans, those Re
publicans," cried the joint smasher in
a way that attracted the attention of
paSSersby on the street. Those Re
publicans down there cause all the
trouble Those Republicans" contin-
ued Mrs. Nation, her voice rising like
a kite in a tornado, ARE the sworn
foes of prohibition in this state. They

DO THEY WANT IT
Commercial Club Takes Hold of
Kansas Building.
May Bring Ii Here for q Club
House.
A SITE is WANTED.
Major Anderson Thinks Some
One Will Donate 1t.
Net Cost OF Bringing Building
Would Be $4,000.

The celebration of Topeka Day at
the st. Louis Worlds fair on last Fri
day and Saturday crystalized a senti-
ment among the Topekans who were
present to remove the Kansas building
to this city, if it can be done at rea-
sonab cost.
Secretary Anderson returned this
morning from the fair. He openeApe-
gotiations with Edward Beeler of OF
tawa for a price on the removal of the
structure Mr.. Beeler stated recently
that he would do the work for $4,000,
which included the removal of the
building and its erection here entire
", with the exception of the outside
plastering or Stueeo work

Secretary Anderson thinks that $15,-
600 could be raised in this city to IL
auidate the cost Il think" he SAID
this morning, that we can get some
one to donate a tract of three lots

the Commercial club, for the Federated
clubs, and an excellent place to hold
public receptions. a kitchen could be
ADDED. and then we would have place
for banquets. A business mems lunch
could be maintained, something that
we have needed in this city for quite
long while"
The Kansas building cost $4,000. To-
peka would have to pay nothing Tor IT,
save for it's removal and erection mere
1t is one of the handsemest and best
state buildings on the fair grounds, two
stories high, and Well constructed
There are porches and entrances on ey-
ery side The big display room could
easily be converted into a hall, and
such is the plan The rooms up stairs
would easily provide offices for such
city organizations as the Commercial
club.
The plan of bringing the Kansas
building to Topeka has been discussed
a number of times this summer and ad-
vocated, but no active steps were taken.
When the Topeka Day contingent were
at the fair Friday, the matter was
brought up and good deal OF enthus-
iasm displayed. An informal discussion
took place and Secretary Anderson OF
the Commercial club was requested to at
once find out what it would cost to
make the removal.
If an estimate can be obtained by
Friday night, at which time the Com
mercial club holds its next regular
meeting, the matter will be presented
to the business men of the city at that
time. The Federation of Clubs proposed
the idea first and will act In concert
with the Commercial club if it is found
that the removal will not cost too
much. -,
The work of raising the money will
have to be started at once for the far
will close December l. and most of the
buildings will have to be taken away
during that month. Secretary Anderson
says that he will lay the matter before
the various organizations in this city
lust as quickly as he gets figures from
contractors, and if any of these prove
satisfactory, subscription lists will be
sent out over the city Immediately

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and

Catarrh of the stomach has long

a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter

The cure for this common and OBJ

to ferment and irritate the del1cate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-

According to DR.. Harlansan, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,

Mr.. r. S. Workman, Chicago, H.,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane or
the nose becomes infiamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, this producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-

The average weight of Fairmount,
according to Coach Holste's figures, is
1855 pounds. The Washburn people
claim, however, that these figures ara
too low. They say that Davis weighs
over 200, Foster $50, and Softer over

teams will weigh about the same. Fair
mount has a much heavier backfield,

day. His place will be taken by
Thrailkin. Nash will probably not

will be at quarter. Stahl will proba-

Manager Frank Leach of Washburn
was in Kansas City Saturday and while
there conferred with the Missouri unl-
VerSity management about the eancella-
ton of the game with Missouri. The
Missouri management wants to cancel
the game because it does not want 10

will probably consent to this, as it is
now beginning to look forward to the
Haskell game as one of the possible vic

Haskell games come close together.
Wash burn will this week probably
beat all records for football. 1t has four
games scheduled. Two will be played
by the first team and two by the sec

on Friday. The second team goes to
Lincoln Thursday for a game with the
Lincoln NEEDLES, and on Saturday plays
