The reasons why Doctors Horne q
Cooktnham are so successful In the
permanent cure of the above diseases
are simple and easy OF comprehen-
sion, yet extremely important.
First-Let It be said that to cure
these lingering diseases requires many
years experience. By treating nun
dreds of such diseases every year the
specialist becomes intimately acquaint-
ed with their every phase and condi-
ton, which enables him to know at
once just what form of treatment Is
required to effect a speedy relief and
a permanent cure.
A specialists ability to cure deep
seated diseases is in proportion to his
years of experience.
For years we have made a speciality
Of curing chronic nervous. blood, kid
ney and bladder diseases and weak
nesses of the urinary canal.
Acute diseases, such IS malaria,
can easily be cured by youl family
physician.
Chronic diseases. such as kidney
trouble. or vital weakness of the nerv-
Gus system and of the organs. caused
by violation of the laws of health, re-
quire nothing short of the service of a
true specialist in such diseases.

RESTRAINED FROM VOTING.
Mormon Members of Salt Lake Council
Are Enjoined.

Salt Lake, Aug. A temporary in
junction was issued by Judge Armstrong
in the Third district court today, re-
straining three Mormon members of the
city council from voting for or against
a proposed franchise to the Utah Light
and Railway company, now pending be-
fore the council.
The three members restrained are Rulon
S. Wells, W. K. Tuddenham and A. s.
Barnes. Wells is one of the presidents
of the seventies and the other two men
hold minor church offices The ground
on which the restraining order is issued
is that these three men, by virtue of
their membership in the Mormon church,
are interested in the proposed franchise
as the church owns stock in the Utah
Light and Railway company, and the
president of the corporation, Joseph r.
Smith, is also president of the Mormon
| church.
The corporation has a monopoly ON
street railway transportation and elec-
| trio lighting in this city. The proposed
| franchise is designed to consolidate and
extend existing franchises held by the
company.

Retired Champion Will Hunt Grizzlies
With Nevada Governor.

Reno, New, Aug. 4.-Early next week
or as soon as Governor John Sparks can
return from business trip to Texas
he is going on bear hunt to Grizzly
valley, in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
He will be accompanied by James JEFF
fries, retired champion heavyweight
pugilist, and a number of Nevada's
most prominent citizens.
A pack of hounds will comprise a
portion of the outfit and the aim is to
remain away about three weeks, the
time to be spent exclusively in search
of large bears. The trip is the result
of a plan made during the visit of JEFF
fries to Reno several weeks ago when
he acted as referee in the Root-Hart
fight Jeffries then met the governor
for the first time, an intimate friend
ship sprang up and the hunt will be the
result.

THE PASTOR WEAKENED.
Complained to Officer of Saloons But
Refused to Start Case.


Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 4.-When Coun-
ty Attorney Wayde learned that
Frontenac preacher. Rev. Mr.. Dunlevy.
had made complaint to the governor
and attorney general that Wayde had
refused to do his duty as prosecuting
attorney, he expressed surprise.
This Mr.. DunleVy and a committee
of Frontenac people were in my office
the other day." said the county attor-
ney, and told me that there were sa-
looms running in Frontenac and wanted
me to take action against them. I told
them that if they would swear to the
complaints and do their duty in the
matter as complaining witnesses, and
procure the names of witnesses the
same as in any other criminal case, I
would Immediately commence prosecu-
ton and would do all I could as prose-
cutting attorney under the complaints.
They refused to swear to the complaints
and left my office. l told Mr.. Dunlevy
and the other members of the commit
tee that I was ready to act under their
complaint, but that they would have
| to assist me. I am ready to proceed
with the prosecution of whisky cases at
Frontenac whenever they are ready to

| Mr.. Wayde has written a statement of

man. showing that he has not refused

claimed that the real backing of the
movement at Frontenac against the sa-
| loon men is from the friends of the Tur-
ner halls. Some time ago Mayor John
| BeitZienger decided that the Turner

with the saloons and be fined the same

WOULD BE A POOR DEAL.
Muckenfuss, Secretary of Cardinals,
Inquired Purchase Price of Tebeau.

st. Louis, Aug. 4.-B. Stewart Muck
enfuss, secretary of the st. Louis Ma
tional league club, last night denied
that he was negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Kansas City club of the
American association. He declared
that he was perfectly satisfied with his
present position and had made no
overtures to George Tebeau.
Mr.. Muckenfuss, however, admitted
that he had inquired for another par
ty, whose name is connected with that
of Charley Nichols and he refused to
divuIge the amount of money which
Mr.. Tebeau wanted for the Kansas
City franchise. Muck said there
was nothing of a personal interest in
the inquiry. Nichols was away, he
said, and his visitor merely asked if
Tebeau was still willing to part with
his Kansas City holdings.
1t is known that President Robert
Lee Hedges of the st. Louis Browns
made an effort to purchase the Kan-
sas City franchise last fall. So did
Charles Nichols and Johnny king OF
Chicago. Tebeau finally decided to try
the club another year and from ac-
counts he is entirely dissatisfied with
the property at present. His inquiry
as to the amount of money wanted for
the club for another person is as fan
as Muckenfuss will go in his connec-
ton with the report.

JULY OIL RUNS.
Pine Lines Did Enormous Bush
ness Last Month.
Carried More of the Fluid Than
in All of 1908.
COMPETITION DID 1T.
Standard Admits That They
Were Stirred Up.
The Daily Average Was Over
28,543 Barrels.

Independence, kan, Aug 4.-The pipe
line runs for Kansas, Indian Territory
and Oklahoma in July, according to the
regular monthly report of the Prairie
Oil and Gas company, by far exceeded
the runs of any previous month in the
history of the mid-continent field, sur
passing in thirty days the entire output
of the year 1903. The total runs for that
year were 1,071,015 barrels. Last month
they were 1,090, 999 barrels. The total
runs for 1904 were 5.599,O54 barrels. So
the report for July was nearly one
fifth of the whole output of last year.
The aggregate runs for the first seven
months of this year have reached the
grand total of 5,157, 1893 barrels, or near
~ as much as for the entire twelve
months of last year. The average daily
runs of 1903 were 1884 barrels; of 1904,
Is, 339 barrels, and so far this year the
daily average has been "a, $50 barrels.
During 1904 the Prairie Oil and Gas
company placed 5.1S8,762 barrels of oil
in storage. This was before the con-
struction of the Sugar Creek refinery.
This year the daily consumption has
amounted to S,089 barrels, or three times
the daily runs of two years ago, and
yet there has been placed in storage
this year 8, 126, 241 .65 barrels, making the
total amount of oil now in the custody
of the Prairie Oil and Gas company
S,265, OO409 barrels. The larger daily
consumption this year is accounted for
by the operations of the Sugar Greek
refinery, which is supplying a trade with
the refined product which was formerly
supplied from the east.
The highest daily average previous tC
July this year was in January, Wher
the figures reached 25,601 barrels II
July the average was So, 1884 barrels
The deliveries, or consumption for july
was 2O6,105.47 barrels, daily average
of 6,650.78 barrels, a slight increase ovel
June, when they were 6,196 barrels. The
total deliveries, or consumption, for thi,
year so far has been 100000 barrels
This it will be seen exceeded the entire
output for 1902.
In July 884, S44.29 barrels were placed
in storage. This was a daily averag,
of %, 543.36 barrels. or practically 300
barrels a day more than the entire av
erage for any previous month in tn
history of the field. This is probabl,
accounted for by the completion of tn
Whiting pipe line.
These figures show more conclusiVel,
than any other argument the effor
which has been made on the part of tn
pipe line company to take care of tn
product. When it is considered tina

MUSIC WHILE THEY RIDE.
Probable That Fast Trains May Be
EuuiDped With Pianos

According to high railway official,
it is quite probable that in the near
future the limited trains on the trans
continental roads will have as part
of their equipment pianos for the use
of the passengers. This will be quite
unique and will mean that passengers
in the fast trains can have as much
enjoyment as though they were in
their own parIors at home. All that re-
mains is for one road to start the ball
to rolling and the others will be quick
to follow Passengers now have any
thing they could want. Nowadays one
can take a bath on the train, get
shaved, send and receive wireless mes
sages, do many other things unthought
of a few years ago.

A RICH OIL STRIKE.
Emporia Men Hit a Lively Gusher on
Leased Lands.

Nels George, Santa Fe yardmaster,
and Frank Evans. Santa Fe agent
here left this morning for Bartlesville,
I. T., to see an oil gusher that was
brought in on a $50 acre tract of land
leased by company of which William
Hatcher of Emporia is the president.
Messrs. George and Evans are direc-
tors. The new well is the first dug on
the tract. Yesterday morning Mr..
George received a telegram stating that
the drillers had struck a $50 barrel
vein of oil at a depth of 1909 feet.
The drillers claim to have passed
through 240 feet of Mississippi lime
stone just before they struck the oil.
1t is the second well that has passed
through the Mississippi limestone in
that vicinity.
The same company has an S0-acre
tract of land in ChautauCua county,
Kansas, which has eight producing
wells. The men figure that the grade
of oil struck in the Bartlesville well
will bring fifty cents a barrel. From
the proceeds of the Indian Territory
well a generous royalty has to be paid
to two Indians who own the land

PLEA OF sELF-DEFENsE.
Krebs and Mrs. Anderson Given Hear
ing in Anderson killing Case.

Arkansas City, Kan, Aug. AFTER
spending the entire day in the examin-
alton of witnesses in the preliminary
hearing of Lee Krebs and Mrs. Ella
Anderson, charged with the murder of
the woman's husband, Harry Ander-
son, the state finished its case and
rested. The attorneys for the defense
said they would make a fight upon the
grounds of Self-defense, and would try
to secure bail for the defendants. Last
night they were in doubt about intro
ducing any testimony, and the hearing
was continued until today. The testi-
mony Thursday was mostly a repetition
of that introduced at the coroners in
quest. One point made by the state
was testimony showing that Mrs.
Anderson told that her husband called
her names before he was shot by her
companion, Krebs. At the inquest she
was a witness. and swore that she did
not know until afterwards the identity
of the victim. The court room was
packed. There were many women in
the crowd.

of the international body in this city
failed today after a long discussion, 112

held in ST. Paul, MIMI, in 1907. 1t ap-

present a surplus of over 81, DOC, 600 care
