Won DAHLEN NOT NAME
Topeka Musician Assumed 1t, Says a
Springfield Lawyer.

Springfield, O., Jan. 2S.=Interest in
the Waldemar Won DahIen case con-
tinues to grow as new and sensational
facts connected with the somewhat
startling affair become known and the
true history of the defendants past
life slowly becomes public property.
It is now stated by Mrs. Won Dab
lens attorney. John L. Plummer. that
the much esteemed professor was
known to Springfield people by an as
sumed name.
"Waldemar Won Dahlen was not the
mans correct name" said Mr. Plum
mer, "and his we expect to prove be-
yond a doubt when h case is heard
in the courts. That he assumed the
name of o Dahlen some time pre-
V1OuS to marrying Mabe Huey and
after he had separated from his first
wife, is an absolute certainty. He has
always been known to Mrs Won Dah7
len by this name, but she now has
conclusive evidence that it is not his
real cognomen."
When asked as to the professors
real name, Mr.. Plummer stated that
he was not ready at this time to di-
vulge the true name. This is with
held for reasons which are necessary
in connection with the case. Mr..
Plummer also stated that there We're

Chicago, Jan. 2s.-It is said that
the liabilities of the Pan American
bank here approximate $4,000. To
meet these liabilities are assets said to
consist of $500 in cash, one trust
deed of doubtful value and some
promissory notes, the whole amount

Receiver Edwin c. Day has made

FOR A SUMMER $
Some Travelling Statesmen After Dewey
Property. IS

Manhattan. Kas., Jan. 2s.-John T..
Lane and F. r. Kice, two well known
travelling statesmen of Kansas City,
have started a movement which has
for its object the purchase of the
Eureka Lake hotel by a stock COM
pany composed of travelling men and
business men of this part of Kansas.
1t is proposed to run 1t as a first-class
hotel and as a pleasure resort under
the management of a board of direct
ors. Ten days ago Messrs. kice and
Lane held a consultation with Chaun-
cey Dewey and c. 7. Killen,
of the c.. p. Dewey estate. The price
put upon the hotel is $4,000. The
present plan is to issue stock to the
amount of $4,000 in hares of $50
nonassessable. Killen and
Dewey each have offered to take $3.50
of the stock. Messrs. Kice and
Lane desire to bring the matter before
the Commercial club, and a meeting
will be called for that purpose Nom
day night, February s.
The t~en-year lease obtained by c.
p. Dewey has about six years yet to
run, and it is believed that Mr.. Wood
will be willing to lease the hotel
grounds at a reasonable rate rathe
than to have the hotel torn down and
away.

Senator NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
the Kansas lower
house and now senator During most
of his life he has been general attor-
ney for the Missouri Pacific. including
the famous CENTRAL Branch. AS Atch-
fson county furnished the only Demo-
cratic governor Kansas ever had, Geo.
w. Click, and as enator Waggener is
a Democrat, then why shouldn't the
hand on the dial point to him at some
future date.
Senator Waggener, one of the mi
nor1ty OF three in the present senate,
is one of the ablest lawyers in the SEN
ate and in the state.
Ed Howe, editor of the Atchison
Globe, knows more about Senator
Waggener than any other editor. In
writing of him the Atchison editor
once said.
Although it is said that a prophet
is without honor in his own country.
Bale Waggener is appreciated in
Atchison. People pick at him, but
they believe in him. for he is a good
citizen, and always willing to help the
town. Occasionally he stalks into
the Globe Office and wants a card
printed. But he can always be coaxed
out of it; in fact, he usually wants to
be coaEed out oft. He writes a pretty
vigorous newspaper card, but / think

A little boy Of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know
ing that his intestinal digestion was
very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts
twice a day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter. his father states,

It is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
his life. and kept from the use OF
foods that he could not digest, he
never would have had appendicitis.
