TOO MANY COURCILMEN
Mayor Thinks City Could Do With
Half Present Number.

without let or hindrance from city
council is the way Mayor w. H. Davis
would like to run Topeka.
Il would just like to run this city
by myself for about two years with
out having any council or anyone else
to interfere" was the wish which
Mayor w. H. Davis expressed this
morning while in a philosophical
turn of mind st would like to have
the whole say-so and just run this
town as if it was my own business.
I'll bet I could do something with it.
It would be run on business principles
and there would be a lot of this extra
expense cut off.
Whats the use in having so many
cOuncilmen anyway Why cOuldn t
we get along just as we'll with one
councilman from each ward instead of
twO?" continued the mayor in an argu-
mentative manner. Why, you know
that's just the thought that struck me
this morning as I was coming down
town." put in Councilman Joseph Girl
ley from the Second ward. the big
Second.
Il believe that We could get along
all right. I believe that we could
get more and better work done in the
council if we had just six members"
continued the councilman. Back in
GAINESVILLE. O., in my old home they
are doing that. They used to have two
councilmen and about ten wards.
of wards and have only one council
man from each ward"
Councilman Griley has still the two
years TO serve in the council but his
compatriot, c. K Holiday, the junior
councilman from the Second, will serve
out his second year next spring. This
one councilman per ward proposition
would leave Mr. Holiday high and dry.
Just how the junior member Of the
council from the Second will take this
f9TR HfE9ffaPff0n nf his in
the council is hard to state. Tt ap-
pears to be a plot to leave Holiday
at the pole. With Councilman Gri-
ley and Mayor Davis plotting so openly
against their eTstwhile bosom friend
of the Second ward, the troubles which
G. K. Holiday has experienced with
City Attorney F. G. Dreaming will
seem like a halcyon dream.

worked together perfectly. Some SUI
periOr infeld work by White, Perrine
and Cooley saved the day.
Big Pete Allen, erstwhile of Kansas uni
versity fame as a stellar football player,
was on the firing line for the visitors He
did nicely until the third inning when his
explosion was something awful, four bits
being made. 1t was in this round that
Dick Brown made a home run. Shades of
the two past summersi Won't some Of
those awful days at Association park rise
up now and haunt you2 This remarkable
occurrence came in the fourth inning.
Dick knocked a little Texas Lacquer over
first base. The right fielder lost the ball
after making futile stab at getting it
on the bounce. He hunted in vain as Dick
was making tracks to second, then to
third. The whole infield excepting the
catcher joined in the search. But not un-
til Brown had safely crossed the pan was
the sphere found. The crowd threw fits.
Cooley was given. an ovation. He made
a clean hit over second. his first time at
bat. An error and a long fly gave him
the first run

test to fight over the umpiring.

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Troubles, by Getting Down to
First PRINCIPLES.

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
form OF chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making it impOs-
sible to apply himself to his daily bust
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed TO understand my
case. but all the same they each failed
to bring about the return of my for
mer digestion, appetite and vigor. For
two years went from pillar to post
from one sanitarium to another.

even renowned my daily glass or two
of beer, without any marked improve

Friends had often advised me to try
a we'll known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe fifty-cent patent nedi-
cine would touch my case.
ITO make a long story short I finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and oc-
casionally a tablet between meals,

II was SURPRISED at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely
and they did not disappoint me. I can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose I had
ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.

the proDrietors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets

advantage on the season. It is against
the weaker clubs. like Brooklyn, Boston

The Giants are clean hard hitters against

as strong as that of the Athletics with
Waddeu out, and in nearly every other

He says:
Grain rates from central and western
Kansas are enormous, compared with Mis-

rate from Bucklin and Dodge City to Kan

STRIKE IS SPREADING.
But No Serious Disorders Are Report
ed From Moscow.

st. Petersburg. Oct. General
Trepom, assistant minister of the in
terror, has been informed by telephone
from Moscow that no serious disorders
occurred there last night and thatethe
situation was slightly more reassuring
this morning The strike is. spreading
however, and the authorities evidently
are very apprehensive. They are hope
ful. however, that the st. Petersburg
workmen will not be affected.
A serious development at Moscow
today was an attempt to interrupt
railway communication. The rails
were tempered with short distance
from Moscow. causing the derailment
of train, but there were no casual
ties. The minister Of the interior ad-
mits that three oossack policemen
were killed yesterday but has no con-
firmation of a dispatch received by
the Russ from Moscow saying that
eight bakers were killed in a fray at a
bakery and are inclined to question
the accuracy, saying that their adviees
do not mention such an event and
pointing out that it is hardly possible
for troops firing volleys from a narrow
street to injure strikers stoning them
from fourth story windows.
