Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic.
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
Sc For two years 1 suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that I
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ste
tasted good and it caused disturbance in nv
stomach tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. I was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was well woman / have rec
commended it to many suffering women
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsements or has such record of
cures of female roubles, as has Lydia

Santa Fe Secret Service Men
Intercept FOrger.
Attempt Made to Defraud Kansas
City Grain Men.
PRETENDER ARRESTED
Scheme Was Unique But Grain

PRETENDER ARRESTED

Kansas City, July 11.-An effort to
defraud grain men of Kansas City out
of several thousand dollars by means of
forged Santa Fe bills of lading has
been frustrated and a man answering
the description given has been arrested
at Wichita. Criminal action against
him will be brought by the federal au-
thorities of Kansas.
The scheme was somewhat unique,
but was worked in crude manner and
there is little likelihood that any of the
grain men would have been caught
even if the Santa Fe secret service men
had not learned of it and issued a warn
ing. The man under arrest at Wichita
charged with the offense denies he is
guilty, but as he answers the descrip-
ton he will be held pending further in
vestigation
Some days ago various commission
men in Kansas City received letters,
written on the letterhead stationery of
a grain firm of Oklahoma City, o. T..
that the company had recently pur-
chased a line of elevators in Kansas
and Oklahoma and would like to give
the grain company here all this year S
business. The letter was fiattering. but
the signature of the firm was typeWrit-
ten. The letter stated that the company
might oVerdraw at times and if so to
nonor the draft and draw on the firm
for the balance.
Last Friday the Beech Keever Grain
company received bills of lading for two
Santa Fe cars, Nos. $685. and 77346 Ac-
cording to the bills of lading, which
were dated at Newkirk, o. T.. these
cars contained wheat. Investigation at
the Santa F'e freight officer here reveal
ed the fact that the cars in question
were stock and coal cars. The same day
the Benton Grain company received
bills of lading for cars Nos. 72643 and
$685. These were dated from Alva, o.
7. These are also stock and coal cars
Altogether there were six bills of lad
ing for alleged cars of wheat filed with
the banks at Wichita and in each in
stance the sender, who gave it out that
he represented the Oklahoma City firm
drew sight drafts on the Kansas City
commission men for $1,225. Investiga-
ton at Wichita revealed that one car,
dated at woodward, o. IT., twas signed
by the name of W. w. Arnold as San
ia Fe agent there. Upon being asked
as to the authenticity of the name the
Santa Fe general office informed the
banker that Arnold had been removed
from Woodward two months ago.
One of the men whom the effort was
made to defraud said yesterday:
fOur firm was suspicious from the
first Of the man who sent the letter. It
is customary for grain men to honor
overdrafts for rs per cent of the value
of the grain when sent by firms who
have an established credit The letter
was not properly worded, either; but
none the less, we are glad to escape SO
easily
The firm whose name was used is
said to be a legitimate grain firm in
Oklahoma City and declares that the
alleged forger had no connection there,

BURKE KEEPS STILL.
Alleged Grain SNyfndIer Refuses to
Make Statement to Police.

Wichita, Kan, July 11.-W- H.
Burke, the alleged grain sWindler who
was arrested last Friday for attempt
ing to obtain money on bogus bills
of lading, has refused to make any
statement of his case to the police,
preferring to take his chances alone
rather than divulge the names of 9TH
ers who are believed to have been
working with him. He has employed
attorneys and will fight the case.
Grant Hale, special agent of the
Santa Fe, says there are several men
in the wheat belt working the same
game, and believes there is an under
Standing between them. The chief of
police received kilograms from the
chiefs at Kansas City and Oklahoma
City, stating there is no such firm as
Pace & Co. at either place. At Okla
homa City last Saturday, when the
chief called up to ask about the al
legged firm, he was told that he was
talking to Pace & Co, but they had
no such man as Burke in their employ.
The chief believes that the telephone
was answered by a confederate of
Burke.
1t is alleged that Burke swindled the
Stevens-Scott bank of this city out of
$4,000 last fall on a similar deal. He
did not confine his attempts to Kansas
City but, it is said, attempted to work
on the firm of T. P. Gordon & Co., of
ST. Joseph, for $1,250.

The gasoline motor car as an ad-
junct to the regular equipment of the
steam railroad seems to be gradually
assuming its proper place, and in
many places throughout the country
motors are being put in service on
branch lines where travel is light
One of the most successful and best
known cars of this type is one which
was designed and built by the motive
power department of the Union Pa
on that road since April 1, 1905. This
car recently made trip from Omaha,
Neb. to Portland, Ore, a distance of
over 1000 miles. under its own power,
and has gone into regular service
there. On this long and difficult trip
the performance of the car was en-
tirely satisfactory, and it required but
while on the way.
This car is of a single track four
wheeled type, and has seating ca
pacity of % persons. The wheels are
AZ inches in diameter and the car
body is 81 feet long. It weighs slight
body is notable, being sharpened off
at the front end similar to the bow of
boat, and rounded in the rear, the
roof being constructed on curved lines
and presents no fiat surface for re
sistance. The interior of the car
is finely fitted up. and special

Will Charge the Ottawa Chautauqua
for His Speech.

Ottawa, Kan, July 11.-Governor
Folk, of Missouri, will get $3.50 for re-
plying to William Travers Jerome at
the Ottawa Chautauqua Friday. After
Jerome touched up Folk for his Sun
day closing order and pcked fun at the
rural attempts to legisiate morals into
city people, the Chautauqua board
thought it could scheme to have a
Folk day. The governor of Missouri
was sounded. He said he was poor
had nothing to live on except his sal
airy, and inasmuch as the Chautauqua
was run for money he should get $3.50
for his speech. If the board would
throw the gates open and not charge
any admission he would speak for
nothing; but if there were to be gate
receipts he must have \ portion of
them The board agreed to give him
$3.50
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, got $500
for his speech there. Jerome and
Lawson didn't charge a cent They
paid all of their own expenses.

REAL HAVANA FOR FIVE CENTS
StansfieId at Last Finds Nickel Cigar
Worth Smoking

When George w. Stansheld, drug
gist, 632 Kansas avenue, who probably
has the largest sale for high grade
cigars of any dealer in Topeka, heard
that a long Havana filler cigar was be-
ing retailed for sc, he was naturally
fincredulous. AS he wanted to give
his customers the best cigars for the
least money, he got a sample box of
the Wadsworth Bros Chicos.
The samples were all right and he
ordered a trial 1000 to see how they
would please his trade. The result was
wonderful, as men who had been buy
ing ten and fifteen cent cigars said
they preferred the Chicos. 1t is a good
and satisfactory spoke with a clear
Havana aroma.
Try Chico today and you will en-
Joy it, il you like good cigar.
