-THE MINSTREL

The "All Star Minstrel given
by the HAYS Volunteer Fire de-
partment IN its benefit Wednes
day evening was, az predicted. the
hit of the season. A house that
was packed to the without
doubt the largest audience ever
assembled in the hall saw a home
talent show that was decided a
''warm number" IN every act. The
four Salina gentlemen who SO kind
ly assisted our boys In giving the
Ministries were indeed "stars" and
their "auto-gC, with all its fire
works, was the real thing; the
band drill was one of the very best
numbers and was repeatedly en-
cored. Ed Rea as InterIocutor
kept the show moving smoothely,
Will Hesse and Doc Mulroy, with
two of tho Salina men, as the
end men were splendid and kept
the audience IL a roar; many 9th
er numbers were tine-in fact they
were "All Stars"
The costumes were truly "gOr~
geous" and very appropriate for
the occasion.
The jokes were good. nothing
coarse. and much enjoyed. The
expected roasts between the bcvy
of pretty girls who occupied the
opera row and the blacks of the
stage failed TO occur to please the
audience, instead the girls sent uE
the handsomest bunch OF carna-
tions ever seen IN our city.
Will Hesse deserves credit fol
his excellent management OF the
entertainment as the boys were
put to little expense anG netted ;
handsome sum.
Miss Franie Hafiamier, who 81
kindly played the accompania
ments. was presented n handsome
gold watch. Bissing's orchestr:
furnished delightful music for th'
occasion, pleasing the audience.

might have ensued had the coaches
taken fire or the second section of the
train come ahead and piled itself upon
the wrecq and the scores of passen-
gers. Toward morning the conductor
managed to get a message back to
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. from
both of which places rescue parties
were sent to the scene of the wreck.
Later in the day the injured train
men were sent back to Los Angeles on
a special train, that also bore the body
of Lowrie to Santa Barbara. The bal
ance of the injured were brought to
this city on a train arriving here last
evening at $50 O'Clock.
Among the passengers on this train
was A. White of Minneapolis, Ameri-
can Vice Consul to Shanghai, who oc-
cupied a berth in one of the Pullman
coaches of the wrecked train. Although
he was not injured in the wreck, the
shock of the collision so unnerved him
that shortly after leaving San Jose last
evening he was suddenly attacked with
a hemorrhage and died few minutes
later. His body was turned over to a
local undertaken. When the train ar
rived here last evening none of the
passengers injuries were regarded as
sufficiently serious to warrant their
going to the Railroad Hospital and
they were assisted in getting accommo-
dations for the night at various hotels.

declined from $40 to $685. drop of IA
points, but il recovered 4 points before
the close, which was at 500. At the ex-
treme low price Of 5ee to-day the stock
sold exactly 80 points under the price
prevailing a week ago, when it changed
hands at GAG. Fifteen points Of this is
due TO the quarterly dividend. The

TOPEKA, Feb. 2L-The sentiment
in favor of making a clean sweep of
the corporations in Kansas is growing.
To-day a resolution was introduced in
the Senate providing for an investiga-
ton Of the beef, grain coal, implement,
milling and lumber combines. The
evidence gained in the investigation
viii be presented TO the Governor and
Attorney General for action. The
Standard Oil Company will be closely
watched in the meantime.
The Oil Producers Association an
nounces that the fight against the
Standard will not be relaxed no mat
ter what may be the outcome of the
State oil refinery plan and pending
legislation. H. z. West, president of
the association, announces that Frank
E. Monnett has been retained to assist
in gathering evidence. During his
term as Attorney General in Ohio
Monnett brought suit against the
Standard OIL Company TO revoke it's
charter for alleged violation of the
antitrust laws.

Standard. He says that Hearst will
assist in forcing the investigation to- a
conviction. He says Shearn, the law
yer who prosecuted the anthracite coal
cases, has been retained to assist in
the Standard Oil investigation.
Hearst's plan is to bring proceedings
against the Standard under the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The Senate Oil and Gas Committee
to-day brought in a majority and a
minority report on the anti-pumping

measure, which has already passed the

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment in a Restaur-
ant.

An advertising agent. representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent Western trip, was dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no
ticed the advertisement of a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. AS he himself
was a regular user of the tablets he
began specializing as to how many
of the other travelling men in the
dining-room were also friends of the
popular remedy for Indigestion.
He says: 1 counted twenty-three
men at the tables. and in the hotel
Office / took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised 10 learn that
nine of the twenty-three mades a
practice of taking one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
One of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach trouble
to quit the road. but since using Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets he had been
entirely free from indigestion but
he continued their use. especially
while travelling. on account of irregu-
larity in meals and because. like all
travelling men. he was often obliged
to eat what he could get and not al
ways what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture OF
health. said he never ate meal with
out taking Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear OF
a sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach. caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs.
shortness 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
remedy he had ever found for sour
stomach and acidity. He had for
merly used common soda to relieve
the trouble. but the tablets were much
better and safer to use.
After smoking. drinking or other
excesses which weaken the digestive
organs. nothing restores the stomach
TO a healthy. wholesome condition so
effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives, pepsin. dias-
tase, which every weak stomach lacks.
as well as nux. hydrastin and yellow
parilla, and can be safely relied on as
a radical cure for every form of poor
digestion. Sold by druggists every
where
