RICH REWARD FOR sAiLoRe.
Immense Treasures Captured by Eng.

Sea battles at the present time do
not result in such great rewards OF
prize money as formerly. English
sailors in times past have brought
great fortunes home after their sue
cessful cruises. In the war with Hol
land, l651-1654, English ships are said
TO nave taken LOO prizes, worth $780,,

British sailors with treasure. They

WILL CHECK UP McOMlE.

Indications point to the stopping of
Justice McOmie from rendering judy
ments against any but citizens of his
own precinct, or those who were citi-
zens at the time of contracting the
bills for debt. Justice McOmie lives
at Murray, and has been doing bust
ness for Luke, the notorious collection
agent whom many people do not like,
and with good reason. Very recently
Luke sued a man in McOmie's court
and judgment was rendered. Now the
defendant has stopped matters by an
injunction and under the law passed
at the last session of the legislature,
it is said by attorneys who know, that
the Murray court is likely to be
knocked galley west. In this connec-
ton it may be said that since his quail
flying for Office Justice Dana Smith
has not had one case filed in his court
by Luke, thus showing that the little
chap does not desire any cases tried
here, but prefers to make people
trouble and additional expense by TAX
ing them seven miles down the road
Luke is very foxy Time was when he
used to get roasted day after day by
the daily papers, but since-he has be-
gun advertising in them, no matter

BLACKS AMENDED FRANCHISE.

But for the action of Councilman
| Hartenstein, who wanted "the public"
to have a chance to see whether it
was good thing or not, the city
council would have passed an amend
ed franchise, offered by Black, at the
session last Monday evening. Hart
enstein made an appeal for the pub
licity the newspapers would give the
matter, and the eight members who
have lined up against the proposed
franchise, submitted by the company,
consented to let it go over. AS a re-
suit of the parliamentary proceed
ings the new ordinance will come up
on it's third reading, when the coun-
Gil meets again.
For some unaccountable reason
Fernstrom, Barnes and e. II. Davis
remained away, and Tuddenham,
Preece and Hewlett were the only
ones favoring the companys ordi-
nance present. Black asked that the
ordinance pending be read a second
time by title, which was done, where
upon he offered an amended ordi-
nance, which was read. He then made
the point that the amendment having
been accepted and read, was in itself
the ordinance, and therefore this was
the third reading. This was a sort of
surprise to the other members, but
the opponents of the measure asked
for by the Consolidated were quick to
take advantage of the opportunity,
and the matter so stands.
There was a little squabble over
the right of Mayor Pro TEN. Davis
voting but he pulled an opinion from
the city attorney which declared he
had the right, and the objections
were of no avail, although Tudden-
ham thought Davis had no moral
right to vote.
The new ordinance Is practically
the same as the old one with respect
to the charges to be made for lights, |
the number of lights to be furnished |
the city, the power to be furnished |
free and the rates to be charged the |
city for power used in excess of the |
amount furnished free, the price of |

Of tickets being the same as in the |
original ordinance.

SLOT MACHINES TO GO.
independence officials Can a Halt on
Gambling.

Independence, Nov. 13.-This week
will witness the disappearance of the
sporty slot machine.
Complaints have been made to
County Attorney Wagstam that the
slot machines were being operated
contrary to the law against gambling
and he has ordered them suppressed.
Letters were sent out to all marshals
and chiefs of police in the county to
notify the proprietors of the places
where the machines are in operation
that they must at once remove them
and discontinue their use.
The law referring to this phase of
gambling is very explicit and leaves
no lOophole by which it can be evaded.
1t is not the intention of the county
attorney to institute proceedings until
all the persons using these machines
have had ample time to remove them.
If, however, after they have been
notified to quit they do not do so they
viii be arrested and tried under the
statute.
Independence is one of the few
towns where slot machines have been
permitted to run. In nearly all of the
larger cities they are under the ban
that is the kind that are played for
gain either in money or trade. There
are no slot machines in this city ope-
rated for money, but nearly every drug
store and cigar store in town uses
them to help the sale of cigars. Most
of the business men who operate them
claim they break about even in the
long run, the object in using them be-
ing to increase the sales in the cigar
departments.

JURY IN A FIGHT.
Trial of Girl Disturbs Entire Legal
Machinery of Houston.

Houston. Tex. Nov. 13.-strange judi
cial complications have arisen over the
trial of Jessie Mercer d young Creole
girl of much beauty. She was arraigned
in the corporation court before Judge
Kerlicks on the charge of disturbing the
peace. A young lawyer volunteered to
defend her and during the trial attempt
ed to prove the girl had been surrounded
with immoral and depraved people, it be-
ing his intention to create sympathy for
her by disclosing her environments. The
court held such testimony was foreign
and irrelevant, and a heated passage be-
tween the judge and lawyer ended in his
hning the latter for contempt and order
ing him Immediately incarcerated in jail.
The jury in the meantime went into de-
liberation and argument on the very
point that had caused the rupture be-
tween the counsel and judge, which end
ed in a general fist fight. Peace only
was restored by the police, who broke
into the jury room. Mashed noses and
black eyes We're numerous alSOng the
jurors.
Following the melee the girl was dis
missed by the court and disappeared.
The differences Of the judge and the law
yer are being reviewed in the district
court, where the case was carried by
a habeas corpus writ. The notoriety for
the girl, it seems, has resulted for her
good. for a charitable move has been
made to rescue her from her evil environ
mentS.

UNION PACIFIC MOTOR CAR.
One of the New Gasoline Type Passes
Through Topeka.

AAAAOttesAA ADA'NiAHAs
One of the gasoline motor passenger
cars. which the Union Pacific railroad
has constructed for the purpose of
using on branch lines where the pas
senger business does not justify the ex-
pense of operating steam trains was
in Topeka for a short time Saturday
afternoon en- route for Kansas City.
From there it is to be sent over the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad to
Galveston and it will then make a tour
of the Southern Pacific lines in the
southwest.
This car is the newest and largest Of
the three which has been built for the
company, and the trials of all three
have been such a success that it is I'M
derstOOd the company will build a
large number of them and that they
will be put in service as fast as they
are secured. These cars, and par
ticuIarly the one that went through
here, have developed speed on trial
trips of over sixty miles an hour The
car left Beatrice Neb., at 1880 o'clock
Saturday morning and although no eff
fort was made to push it to the limit
of its speed it arrived here at o'clock
in the afternoon, covering the one
hundred and dfty-three miles in seven
and one-half hours. Numerous stops
were made, one of them being of thirty
minutes duration at Manhattan.
A great deal of attention was at
tracted by the car while it was here for
in construction it is unlike any other
car ever seen in these parts. 1t re-
sem bIes more than anything else an
inverted racing yacht. The roof tapers
from the top and is smooth and
rounded. The front is tapered to a
point so as to afford the least possible
resistance to the air. The car is sixty
five feet long and is built almost en-
tireIy of steel. The motive power con
sists of d six cylindered gasoline en-
CINE. In large reservoirs is stored
compressed air for use in stopping
and starting the car and to operate a
big horn of the siren variety that is
used as warning signal
The car has a seating capacity of
sixty, including a rear window, or OBJ
servation seat which will accommo-
date eight persons. 1t has three com
partments, one for the engine, another
for baggage and the third for the pas
sengers.
It is the intention of the Union Pa
cific and the other Hartman lines, in
Guiding the Southern Pacific. to use
these cars on branch lines and posi-
bly, in places of plugs on the main
| lines between points sixty and seventy
miles apart. Their cost of operation
| is a trif1e as compared with the cost
of operating a steam train and they
are looked upon as money makers on
lines in sparsely settled communities
where the passenger traffic in no way
! is sufficient to pay the mere expense
| of running steam trains.

CHAIN DOWN RAIL.
Employees of Rival Railroads Fight
Over a Right of Way.

Vancouver, B. C., Nov 13.-The Great
Northern and Canadian Pacific railways
are fighting for the right of way into
the railroadless but rich valley of Semil-
kamen, B. c. The fight has lasted three
days. The first day section gangs of the
American road tore down the tents of the
Canadian Pacific gang, near Midway, B.
G. The Canadian Pacific railway gangs
were then reinforced and the following
day tore up the tracks of the Great
Northern.
Some Italians drew their revoIvers, but
there was no bloodshed. The third day
the Great Northern had the Canadian
Pacific road foreman arrested, but he
got bail and returned to the attack. The
Great Northern then chained the rails
to solid rock. but the Canadian Pacific
checked its further progress. The police
seem powerIess to stop the fight and it
may yet end in bloodshed.

WHISKY UNDER THE FLOOR.
CoTeyviIIe Jointists Compelled to Keep
LIQUOR Very Secret.

independence, Kan, Nov. Ia
County Attorney Wagstaff has demon
strated twice recently that he is deter
mined to keep the lid nailed down in
Montgomery county. He caused the
Sheriff to raid a blind tiger in COT
feyville few nights ago. Deputy
Sheriff Paxson went to the border city
with warrants in his pocket for E. N.
Tabler and Lou" Hart, who were al
legged to be selling liquor contrary to
law The place operated was in the
rear room of Carmack's stand at the
corner Of Walnut and Twelfth streets.
Under the floor Paxson found three
bottles of whisky which he confiscated.
HIT also cOnhscated the person of Hart
found in the place. Hart was brought
to Independence with the whisky. The
whisky was stored away and so was
Hart in the county jail
Mr. Wagstaf has sent out letters to
all the marshals and chiefs of police
in the county instructing them to noti-
fy all cigar and drug stores and other
places that the slot machines must go.
This action is taken on the authority
of section 2, chapter 223, of the laws
Of 1903 against gambling devices and
is based on complaints made to the
county attorney.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Sam,
Subject.

Also a Few Facts on the Same
Subject.
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living, about
vegetarianism, and many other fads
along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is
in his glory, and arguments and
theories galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make US believe
that our sturdy ancestors, who lived
four-score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
enxtended to any kind, from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet, and mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubted-
~ the best
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or grains.
DR.. julius RemmsOn, on this subject,
says: 'tNervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If
the digestion is too feeble at first it
may be easily corrected by the regular
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal. Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will digest
several thousands grains of meat, eggs
or other animal food in three hours
and no matter how weak the stomach
may be- no trouble will be experienced
if a regular practice is made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
they supply the pepsin and diastase
necessary to perfect digestion, and
every form of indigestion will be over
come by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use Of
a safe, harmless digestive medicine ike
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed
of the natural digestive principles, pep
sin, diastase, fruit acids and salts
which actually perform the work of
digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines,
masquerading under the name of dvs-
pepsia cures. are useless for indiges-
| ton, as they have absolutely no effect
upon the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure of the stomach to di-
gest food, and the sensible way to
solve the riddle and cure the dyspep-
STA is to make daily use at meal time
of a preparation like StUart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, which is endorsed BY the
medical profession and known to con
] tain active digestive principles.

A TREAsURER ARREsTED.
A Phillips County Omcial Says It's a
Plot Against Him.


Phillipsburg, Kan, Nov. 13.-Law-
renee T. Martin, county clerk. whose
records serve as a check upon the
county treasurer has caused the arrest
of Charles w. Bowman, county treas
urer, alleging misrepresentation of GER
tain funds belonging to the state school
fund due several districts of the coun-
ty. In II counts he alleges that the
district treasurer, obtaining his sigma
amount he actually paid out. This
about 1920 as charged in the county
clerks complaint.
Mr.. Bowman demanded an immediate
trial, turning his office and books over
to the commissioners, pending an in
vestigation. The preliminary trial will
be today. News of the arrest produced
a run upon the Prairie View bank, an
institution in which Mr.. Bowman and
his relatives own a controlling interest.
This bank is capitalized at $4,000 and
is one of the county repositories. Its
suspension might cause the loss of
some of the county funds.
Mr.. BOwman's friends al1ege that the
charges preferred against him are
part of a conspiracy to destroy his DO
litical influence. The run on the bank
was anticipated by its officials and
money was promptly secured by its
stockholders in sums sufficient to meet
the demands of the creditors. The bank
commissioner, Mr.. Royce, was here
yesterday, but the condition of the
bank as yet does not demand his at
tentiOn.
