New York, March 22.-(special Core
Spondence. )-William Wallace Hadley, the
famous professor of Panopathy and Phys
latrics, has again demonstrated his mys-
terious power over disease. He shows that
the drug prescribed by doctors and the
surgeons knife are often worse than use
less and by healing hundreds of hopeless
invalids pronounced incurable by physi-
clans he proves his claims that there is no
disease he may not cure. In defiance of
the supposed laws and rules of modern
medical practice and the theories Of ply
slclans and specialists, has made the hui
man heart beat again in the body of a wo-
man prepared for the grave, and perform
ed other seeming miracles of restoration
TO life and health to men and women
given up to death. Indeed he succeeds in
the face of such apparent impoSSibilties
that he appears to possess healing pow
times, a power above and beyond that
given to ordinary mortals. In comparison
the successful operations of the world s
greatest specialists become insignificant
child's. play. Apparently the supposedly
incurable diseases, such as paralysis, con-
sumption, heart disease, cancer, deafness,
any of the drug or liquor habits, etc, are
cured by him just as easily as the more
still further, he has proved that he can
cure patients in their own homes thou
surely as though they came TO MIN IN per-
son. To extend the blessing of this Won
but one thing for him to do, and that he
has done by abandoning his private
practice and Offering his services free OF
charge to all who stand in need. He is
quoted as saying that he feels it his re-
ligious duty to help the sick and afflicted
independent of any reward.
One of the cases that makes possible
the belief that Prof. Hadly's power APP
proaches supernatural control over dis
ease, even to the point o death, is that
of a Mr.. E. c. Bess Of FL Campo Tex,
who was rescued from the grave after the
doctors had given him up to die, could do
nothing to revive him aand left him for
dead. Brought to this condition by the
combined attack of kidney and liver dis
case, dropSy and acute articular rheuma-
tism, he suffered the torments of the
damned and was almost insane with pain
before the end came. The doctors and
their medicines failed utterly Although he
was as good as dead when Prof Hadley's
attention was drawn to the case, he was
speedily restored to life and health by
this PaHopath's marvellous power, though
even Mr.. Bess himself confesses that he
does not know how this miracle was per-
formed. Another case almost equally re-
mariSable. was that of Mrs. J. G. White
field of Norfolk, Va, who asserts that he
revived the vital spark in her body when
she was prepared for the grave, that at
the end OF long siege of Illness from a
complication of diseases her body felt cold
and lifeless. But she says that Prof. Had |

is THE STANDARD SORE?

It is evident from the visit of General
Counsel Eddy. of the Standard Oil COM
pany, that the Kansas tentacle of the
Standard is somewhat sore and the
Standard is a little worried about it.
The gathering at independence seems
to have been a boil to the Standard.
Mr. Eddy's visit to Kansas seems to
have been largely for the purpose of
putting a poultice on the sore spot in
an effort to heal it. If the matter is
not stopped there seems to be danger
that the trouble will extend to other
tentacles.
Mr.. Eddy's tone was very conciliatory.
He assures Kansas that the Standard
is very friendly towards the Sunfiower
state and is anxious to do everything
possible to help the citizens of Kansas.
OF course Mr.. Eddy may be right, but
Kansas would like to have a practical
exhibition of this sympathy before plac-
ing too much reliance on it.
Mr.. Eddy points out that the Stan
dard has its limitatfons-that it cannot
purchase more oil than it can sell, al
though it has been doing SO in the past,
and has been storing up the oil in the
hope that the market will broaden in
the future.
This will appeal to most people as
FF@-N~N
sas specifically objects to is the Stan
dard's action in keeping everybody else
from making a market for oil. The
Standard wants the entire market for
itself, and it has had the power in the
past to keep anyone else from trying to
extend the market. That is just what
Kansas is objecting to. As long as the
Standard will play fair and not try to
secure unjust advantages in the oil
market, Kansas will give the Standard
the glad hand in Kansas. but it doesn't
approve of the Standards OPPOSITION to
a fair deal, and it won't stand for it.
Mr.. Eddy thinks that it would be
very impolite thing for Kansas officials
to Iep off the Kansas tentacIe and
throw it out of the state, and he begs
Governor Hoch not to begin proceedings
against this Kansas tentacle. known as
the Prairie Oil & Gas company, until
the Standard has had time to cure the
sore and demonstrate that it will be
20 doing the future. If the Standard will
demonstrate this Kansas will probably
be glad to continue to do business with
the Standard but otherwise Kansas
can get along without Standard Oil.

MIR. RoCKEFELLER's DYSPEPSIA.

MIR. ROCKEFELLER'S DYSPEPSIA
The worlds idea of the head of the
oil trust is that he is a bald-headed old
codger, thin and grouchy. who can eat
nothing but a little milk and toast, and
that his dyspeptic condition and grasp
ing disposition have put him out of
sympathy with the great mass Of hui
mainly.
Mr.. Rockefeller's legal representative,
Arthur H. Eddy, who has been visiting
Topeka this week, says that the reverse
is true.
II know that Mr. Rockefeller is gen
orally represented as having lost his
stomach and that every time he gives
away any money he raises the price of
oil, but that is a very erroneous idea, =
says Mr.. Eddy. 1.-The old gentleman
stays up on his farm most of his time
and he hasn't been inside of the STAN
dard's offices in five years, so far as
know. He stays on his farm and plays
golf most of the time, and as for dys-
pepsia-pshawi he weighs two hundred
pounds and he eats as much beefsteak
as anybody. tits true that he is bald
headed. but the dyspepsia story is not
true''

THAT REEF REPORT.

There seems to be a vast amount
of misunderstanding or mystery-or
both-about that report which Coma
missioner Garfield recently made con-
corning his beef trust inquiry. II
looks as though the summary which
has been given to the public does not
go sufficiently into detail to enable one
to Judge fairly of the report. 1t is
stated that the report complete fills
pamphlet of three hundred pages,
and the friends of Mr.. Garfield assert
that the criticisms to which he has
been subjected come from an impair
tial knowledge of the report.
His alleged findings that the pack
ing houses make a profit of only 80
cents a head on cattle is absolutely
absurd to people of the west who are
familiar with the price paid for cattle
and the price charged for beef. Now
it is suggested that Mr.. Garfeld's re-
port dealt only with dressed beef, and
that he found that the dressed beef
sold by the packers made them a
profit of SO cents a head.
If this is true it is more in accord
with what the public generally be-
lieves. but if so, that fact should be
made plain. If this is true, the re-
amounting to several dollars per head,
largely add to the profits that Mr..
Garfield finds. It would also be of in
terest to know what relation hogs and
sheep bear to these profits, and
whether the report deals with them
along with cattle.
Several years ago when the by
products from live stock went to
waste to a great extent, cattle grow
ers received more for their stock and
consumers paid less for their beef, yet
everybody made a fair profit. This is
what makes appear absurd the state-
ment that the packing houses are
making 2 per cent or less on their in
vestment. According to this. we had
better turn the beef industry back
few years and throw away the by
products once more.
The public wants to have faith in
Mr.. Garfield and his Investigations.
and it will have if given chance. but
it looks as though this beef report
needs a further explanation.

is paramount this spring, but they are
not as numerous as usual.
At the same time there can be intem-
perance in urging temperance-not when
there is a legitimate demand for it, but
when it is made an issue when there
are other municipal problems of greater
Importance. When the jointist pushes
himself to the front and assumes to run
things in defiance of law and order, it
is abundant warrant for making the
wet or dry issue paramount, but when
the jointist is outIawed and has no
standing in the community there is no
call for a great turmoil over the wet or
dry issue to the exclusion of everything
else.
There is an element in most Kansas
towns with whom city government CEN
ters around the enforcement or nom
enforcement of prohibition, and they
think of nothing else. They represent
the two extremes. They include the
jointist who wants a city government
that will tolerate a wide OPEN policy
as well as the ultra prohibitionist who
wants a city government that will ex-
pend all its energies in enforcing prohl-
bition and letting other things take
care of themselves. 1t is an encouraging
sign in Kansas when municipal affairs
have reached that point where neither
of these extremes monopolize the center
of the stage, but when other issues, ern-
braeing the welfare of Kansas towns,
have an important place in municipal
campaigns.
