What Did the
Doctor Ask You Z
FIFTY CENT BOTTLE FREE.

Wanted to know IL your bowels were
regular, didn't he? That tells the secret
Of health. Keep your bowels In normal
condition and no matter what your all
ment, you won't be sick very long. You
can't cure constipation with salts castor
oil or any other physic. Physics weaken
the system and destroy the digestive or
gans. You need just the opposite effect.
Mulls Grape Tonic will not physic you.
1t strengthens the muscles and enables
them TO move voluntarily. Constipation
Is the rotting of undigested food and
from this putrefying mass there arises
poisonous disease germs which will I'M
dermine the strongest constitution.
Mulls Grape Tonic Is used in nearly
every hospital and prescribed by many
physicians. 1t Is guaranteed to cure the
worst case Of constipation quickly and
permanently. Here Is what one Of the
many hundreds Of cured persons have to
say about It:
"I sent for a SOC bottle OF Mull's Grape
Tonic which you advertised to give free
to any sufferer. My stomach was out Of
sorts. my liver torpid and / felt tired
and worn out all the time. After taking
the free bottle ! felt so much better I
decided to give II the full test. / took
three bottles and now feel better than
ever before. Thompson II. Adams, "a

free gift to you. Take the free bottle.

Dispatcher Called Physicians.

Topeka, Jan. Or. j. NJ. Kemper
and Dr. C. L. Menard, Maple Hill ply
sicians, are both members of the
coroner's jury to investigate the cause
of tho Rock Island wreck. They said:
"We were called to the scene of the
wreck from Maple Hill just minutes
before it occurred. When the cattle
train was reported through Maple Hill
and the passenger train through Will
lard, the dispatcher in Topeka knew
that a wreck was coming. He imme-
diately called the operator at Maple
Hill and told him to notify us of a
wreck between Maple Hill and Willard.
We started at about the time the wreck
occurred and arrived at the scene
about 30 minutes later"

Retail Trade Slow From Holiday Gull.
ness and Bad Weather
YEAR OF 1904 OPENS QUIETLY,
Satisfactory Features Predon,inating'
Weather Has Stimulated Sales OF
Heavy Goods. Spring Demand and
Shipments Have Begun.
New York, Jan. II. - Bradstreet's

New York, Jan. H. - Bradstreet'
says:
"Thc new year opens quietly, but
with satisfactory features predomina
ting Cold stormy weather has re
tarded business and transportation
but in some sections has stimulated
sales of heavy goods, shoes and rubbers
at retail Wholesale business is sea
sonably quiet at leading Eastern and
Central Western markets, but it is
worth noting that spring demand and
shipments have begun at the South
wcst. Collections show a slight inn
provcment and money is easing,
supplies OF that commodity being in
better supply than heretofore. Pre-
parations for spring are going forward
actively and with good show of
conservative confidence"
IL. G. Dun &, Cos Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Retail trade has been somewhat
slow to recover from holiday dullness,
partly because of the bad weather,
which also retarded collections to some
extent. Traffic was impeded and
shipments of merchandise delayed. On
the other hand, low temperature slim
ulated the demand for seasonable
goods. Latest returns of railway
earnings for December are ga per cent
above the previous year.
SIN the leading manufacturing in
dustry the year opens with quiet
conditions as to demand but much
irrcgularity in the matter of wages.
Numerous reductions went into effect
and several others are contemplated.
During the last quarter net earnings
of the leading producers were less than
half those of the corresponding months
of 1902 and similarly unsatisfactory
exhibits were made by other concerns,
violent fluctuations in the price of
raw material has restrictive influ-
ence on the market for cotton goods
New lines of heavyweight woolens are
opened slowly, thus far being confined
to low grades, but there is fair
movement in carpets, blankets and
fiannels. Eastern shoe shops are ship
ping freely, and jobbers are taking
samples freely of heavy goods for next
fall, but few supplementary spring
orders have been placed"

10th Desire Peace.

Toxic, Japan, Jan. 1.-The Japan
csc government has practically deter
mined to continue negotiations. 1t is
dissatisfied with Russia's latest terms
but does not feel warranted in issuing
an ultimatum or breaking off of negc-
tiations and will make another effort
to secure notifications before resorting
to force.
st. Petersburg. - Mr.. Kurino, the
Japanese minister, authorized the As
sociated Press to say that the japanese
government still was doing everything
in its power in the interests of peace
and that reports about the sending of
troops to Korea were without founda-
ton.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The closing of Chi
cago theaters by order of Mayor Har-
rison has caused paralysis of business
in many directions. Three thousand
actors, stage hands and people who
depend directly on the theaters for a
living are idle with no hope of employ
ment for probably fortnight. Res
taurants that cater to the theatrical
audiences have laid off many employees.
The hotels are complaining and traffic
on the street railways has fallen off at
night. 1t is estimated that Is, 900 per-
sons will suffer from the mayors
closing order. The loss in receipts of
the thirty-five theaters will total $751;
900 per day.

EXTRACTS FROM MESSAGE.
The Only Question Is To Build Az
Isihmlan Canal.

Washington, Jan. IL. - President
Roosevelt's to congress concerning Pan
anna, included these paragraphs:
l hesitate to refer to the injurious
insinuations which have been made Of
completely by this government in the
revolutionary movement in Panama.
They are as destitute of foundation as
of propriety. The only excuse for my
mentioning them is the fear lest I'M
thinking persons might mistake for
acuuicscence the silence of mere self
respect. think proper to say, there
fore, that no one connected with this
government had any part in preparing,
melting, or encouraging the late reyo'
luton on the Isthmus of Panama, and
that, save from the reports of our mil
itary and naval officers, no one con-
nected with this government had any
previous knowledge of the revolution,
except such as was accessible to any
person of ordinary intelligence who
read the newspapers and kept up
current acquaintance with public af-
fairs
Meanwhile, the only question now
before us is that of the ratification OF
the treaty. For it is to be remembered
that a failure to ratify the treaty will
not undo whas has been done, will not
restore Panama to Colombia, and will
not alter our obligation to keep the
transit open across the isthmus, and to
prevent any outside power from
menacing this transit.
In conclusion let me repeat that the
question actually before this govern
ment is not that of the recognition of
Panama as an Independent republic.
That is already an accomplished fact,
The question, and the only question,
is whether or not we shall build an
isthmian canal.

Responsible Parties viii Be Held For

ENGINEER BENJAMIN BLAMED.
He Is Suffering From Nervous ProstrR-
tion at His Home In Kansas City.
freight Train.

Topeka, Dec. I'm the Rock Island
wreck at Willard it is reported that 20
people were killed, many of the bodies
being crushed to an unacceptable
| mass.
The westbound passenger train No. 3
was to wait at Willard for an east
bouod special freight, but did not stop.
1t is supposed that the engineer of the
passenger train saw regular freight
train on the siding at Willard and
thought it was the train he was to
meet A special brought medical and
other help from Topeka promptly.
The train was the through Ell Paso
train. 1t left Topeka about 80 minutes
late.
The victims are pitiable sight;
some being mangled terribly.
The majority of the wreck victims
are evidently of the poorer class, yet
500, 900 in bills was found on an un-
identified dead man, who is thought to
be Texas stock man.
An official investigation of the Rock
Island wreck at Willard was started at
Topeka by Coroner Silverthorne, of
Wabaunsee county. Testimony was
taken which showed the east bound
freight train had orders to pass the
passenger train at Willard. No in
quiry as to the responsibility of the
passenger crew was made on account
of the inability of Engineer Benjamin
and Conductor Nagley to be present.
The engineer is suffering with nervous
prostration at his home in Kansas City
and the conductor is in hospital here.
1t is announced that whoever is re-
sponsible for the wreck will be held on
a charge on manslaughter.
1t was announced at the inquest that
the train dispatcher in this city learned
that one train had left Maple Hill and
the other had left Willard.
Knowing that no human power could
prevent collision, he Immediately
ordered out the wreckers. He also
notified the Maple Hill doctors to get
ready for service. The doctors re-
ceived this notice eight minutes before
the wreck occurred, and reached the
scene of the accident 80 minutes later.
DR.. Silverthorne, the coroner of Wa
baunsee county, who has the inquest
in charge, is surgeon and operates a
hospital at Mcfarland for the Rock
Island road.
Engineer Rariden of the freight
train which collided with the passen-
ger, testified that Benjamin had told
him Immediately after the accident
that he had no orders to meet the
freight. Rariden also reported con-
versation he had with Conductor Nag
ley in the hospital, Nagley said to
him:
Engineer benjamin may as well
come here and own up to the truth.
His action in disregarding the orders
oaused the wreck"

THE OLDEST MAN in AMERICA,
Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many Winters
by Using Pe-ru-na.

This centenarian is an ardent friend OF
Peruna, having used it many years.

AFTER a man has lived in the world as

"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction Is the
proper thing for ailments that are
due directly to the effects of tho
climate. For us years I have
wifhsfood the changeabIe climate
of the United States.
II have always been very healthy

BEST If not the only, reliable rem.
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and Iaffribufe my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy
ut exactly meets all my requirements.
1t protects me from the evil effects of
sudden changes; it keeps me in good
appetite; it gives me strength it keeps
my blood in good circulation. / have

"When epidemics of Ia grippe first
began to make their appearance In this
country l was a sufferer from this dis
ease.

the grip. At first I did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for
this disease: When ! heard that
Ia grippe was epidemic cafarrh, /
tried Peruna for Ia grippe and
found it TO be just the thing"
In later letter dated January 81, 1908,
Mr.. Brock writes:
II am well and feeling as well as /
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me Is my sight. If could see
better could walk all over the farm and
it would do me good. would not be
