call. These volunteers were under the
state rather than the national govern

in 1857, when the state issued scrip
bearing interest at per cent. to pay
the men, Many of them received
their pay from the state but many
more did not, and finally a committee.

appointed to act on the claims. This

on the claims. The warrants We're

$46,414.36 which the commission did
not allow, and Mr. Stephens says his
assistant, Thomas Anderson, raised
this amount to over 500, 900. Soon
after this Hayes was adjudged insane
by Judge Case, of Topeka.
Mr.. Stephens says that about $2OO,-

the amount OF his own claim against

WHEAT PRosPEcTs THE BEST.
Conditions in Central and Western
Kansas Very Encouraging.

Abilene, Kan, March SO.-With one
of the most critical months in the
progress of the wheat past the farm

aged by the situation The fields are
covered with an even. rank growth
showing a fine color and as plenty of
moisture has fallen the likelihood of
damage by winds is little considered.
Western Kansas reports the best wheat
in its history for this date and expects
to excel the record of 1903. Thomas
Taylor of the Pearl neighborhood, the
wheat raising center of this county,
said today.

BUNCoED IN SMOOTH WAY.
C. f Elliott, Prominent Wellington
LAWYER. Fleeced for $50.

Charley Elliott, a Wellington at
torney, was buncoed out of $3.50 last
week in a confidence game that is SO
smooth and so easily employed that it
is we'll worth knowing.
Mr.. Elliott was acoosted by a man
who claimed to be a farmer and horse
raiser of near Blackwell. He gave the
name of Williamson and was fairly
glib He had a claim of 1925 against
man of the name of Smith, who
lived in Caldwell, having recently re-
moved there from Williamson's Black
we'll neighborhood, for the school ad-
vantages. Smith had been especially
anxious to own a valuable horse be-
longing to Williamson and it was sent
him on trial of ten days. That was
the story At the end of the time
the horse was returned to Williamson
famed. He sent it back to Smith with
a demand for $225, the price agreed
upon for the animal
Smith refused to take the horse or
loosen with his wallet and Williamson
wanted him sued. Elliott advised a
settlement and with Williamson'S con-
sent wrote Smith. He then came to
Winfield to try a case against J. G.
Page. Returning to wellington VIII
hanson met him and they read a let
ter from Smith which stated his case
had been placed in the hands of Ed
Hackney, another lawyer. Hackney
showed a letter from Smith enclosing
a check on the Stock Exchange bank
at Caldwell for 5000 which was all he
would pay. There was a long discus
sion between Williamson and Elliott
the latter advising Williamson to take
the money. Elliott said his fee would
be $40. Finally. Williamson consent
ed. A telephone message to the Cald-
we'll bank brought information that
Smiths check was good for 5000.
This was Thursday. Elliott endorsed
the check, got the money from a
Wellington bank. kept $40 and paid
Williamson $3.50. The next day the
check came back marked mo funds. "
Investigation showed Smith had de-
posted 1865 in the Caldwell bank
Tuesday saying he was a horse buyer.
Wednesday he drew $40 Thursday.
after the inquiry was made about his
account he drew his balance. Now he
and Williamson are spending Elliott's
$3.50. 1t is the first time a lawyer
ever paid himself fee.
What Hackney got beside a small
grip on the sack is not known.

ONLY ONE DARE REMAINS.
Nebraska Football Schedule Nearly
Completed and Kansas Not Included.

Nebraska Football Schedule Nearly
Completed and Kansas Not Included
Lincoln, Neb., March 30.-There is ap-
parently no longer any chance that the
universities of Kansas and Nebraska
may resume athletic relations for the
football season of 1905. Reports from
Lawrence have credited the students
at Kansas with an almost unanimous
desire for a resumption, even going so
for as to recognize the merit of Ne
braska's contention that the Jayhawlker
athletic board must make the first move
football dates remained open on the
Nebraska schedule, and there has been
more or less speculation among Corn
husker students as to whether or not
plan to give the Kan4ans a chance
to make known their intentions. This
theory, however, has been diSproved by
the official announcement that Colorado
university has been booked to play the
Cornhuslkers in Lincoln on November
IL, one of the open dates. The arrange
ment leaves only November 4 unlocked
on Nebraska's schedule, and the athletic
board announces that one of the smaller
colleges will be taken on for the re-
naming date.
Nebraska's schedule this year will
be the best that has ever been promul-
gated by the Cornhusker authorities.
1t Will include games with Michigan
and Minnesota, admittedly the leaders
in midwest football circles for the past
several years. The decision of the "Big
Nine" in June will have much to do
with Nebraska's chances in the football
arena during the coming season. This
condition springs from the uncertainty
concerning the rejection or affirmation
of the one-year residence rule by the
conference. Nebraska recognizes the
the decision of that organization at its
meeting next June.

was one of the sufferers by Monday
nights storm. says the Ottawa Her
aid. He was en- route home from a
visit to WelIsville, and had driven
through Ottawa out on the Seventh

him. His buggy was blown over as if
it had been feather, and smashed to
pieces in the fall. DR.. Wolf retained
his hold upon the lines after he was
thrown out into the road. His team
started to run, but was later en-
tangled in the harness and thrown in
the mud. He sustained some bruises
on the shoulder. The horses were
not injured.

KANSAS CITY THE CHAMPIONS.
Basket Ball I1aurels Won From Buff
faIo Y. M. C. A. Five.

Kansas City. Mo-, March 30.-Kansas
City owns a worId's championship, the
first in it's history. 1t was won last
night in the greatest game of basket
ball ever played here, a game that must
be recorded in the history of amateur
sport for 1905 as one of the most impor-
tant events of the year. 1t was the last
contest of a series of three between the
five of the Kansas City Athletic club
and the German Y. NJ. c. A. of Buffalo,
n. Y, which captured the championship
in the basket ball tournament in con-
nection with the. Olympic games in ST.
Louis last fall.
The score was decisive. The Kansas
Cityans had forty five points at the end
of the contest; the Buffaloes fourteen.
In the mind of not one of the 1000 spec
tators could there be any doubt as to
which showed the greater basket ball
ability. From the moment the game
began until the end the visitors were
outplayed, outgaTned and outgeneraled.
Result of the series: Monday, first

washington, March 30.-It is prob
able that Arthur Redfern will ride for

to be a hitch in regard to the amount
of money to be paid. In any event,
Redeem win not receive less than

A month ago he engaged 'tPuddin"
Mcdaniel, who will ride the light

scarcely be able to ride less than 1O7
pounds this year, if engaged, will ride
all the horses entered in the stake

Last season Redeem rode nearly
every race in which horses belonging
to Keene were entered. He rode
Sysonby so frequently to victory that
even after he had his collarbone
broken at Saratoga, Keene was loath
to change riders in the F'uturity, and
put the lad up on the colt, although
he was in no fit condition to ride.
No stable in the country has a
greater number or a better looking lot
of tWo-year-old than those quartered
in the Keene barn. In looks, confor-
nation, pedigree and speed they have

FIRST JUVENILE COURT CASE.
Ed Howe's Idea of What ChiIdren's
Jurisprudence VIII Be.

The first case reported to the ju-
venile court comes from the Havering
family, says the Atchison Globe The
baby of four years refused to eat her
oatmeal this morning. and when her
mother asked her to please eat it, the
child pushed the oatmeal bowl off the
table. Mr.. and Mrs Havering were
aghast. They didn't know what to do
Mrs Havering cried, and Mr.. Haver-
ing begged the child on his knees to
please be kind to them, and eat the
oat meal The child then attempted
to get one foot on the table, to kick
the cream pitcher over. There was q
family council, which all the grand
parents and uncles and aunts attend
ed. and it was decided to make an ap-
peal to the juvenile court. The results
will be watched with much interest by
other parents. There seems to be 8.
concerted uprising among the chill
dren, by the way. A North Fifth
street woman reports that her baby
of two years yesterday broke four cut
glass tumblers by throwing them
down, one at a time, and refused to
stop though she said, PLEASE, Oar
ling to her in the prettiest way she
knew how. Something must be done.

The growing habit amongst Ameri-

clan advises strongly against, saying.
1T is absolutely dangerous to take into

larly supposed to all in the digestion of

There is nothing known to the science
Of medicine that can perform the work
of the human stomach. Drugs do not
and cannot digest the food. They simp-
" decompose it. What can be more
revolving or disgusting than the
thought of taking something into the
stomach that is going to turn the good
food you have eaten into a mass of cor
ruption.
The only way to overcome indigestion
and its evil effects is to remove all ir-
ritation, congestion and Inflammation
