Wait for
Hunger.
Good Advice from w. B. Eastman as
to How to Create an Appetite.

ANY physician will tell you that it is
unwise to eat unless one is really hungry.
1t is Tar better to miss a meal than to
eat without appetite.
But do not take tonic, stimulant, or
appetizer to make you hungry. W. B.
Eastman says that the best way to
create an appetite is to restore the
digestion to health by the use OF Mi o.
ma stomach tablets, a reliable REMEDY
that he sells with the best OF salts
faction.
When Mi.o.na is used, the irritation
and inflammation Of the stomach coat
ing will be soothed, the gastric tollicles
will be strengthened so that they will
pour out the natural digestive fluids
with regularity, and the food you eat
will be perfectly digested without dis
tresS.
A large box of MILO ma stomach
tablets is sold for so cents by W. B.
Eastman, and it is so successful and
reliable in curing indigestion and other
stomach troubles, with the exception Of
cancer of the stomach, that he sells 1t
under guarantee hat the money WILDE
refunded unless it does all that is claimed
for it.

FAMOUS SWEDISH SINGER.
Nine. HeustrOm to Sing 1T the High
School Auditorium

Mime. Hellstron. the Swedish vocal
ist who is proclaimed the successor of
Jennie Lind and Christine Nilsson, is to
sing at the High school auditorium
Saturday evening.
Nine. Hellstrom's voice is more than
a sopranc+even more than a mezzo-
soprano-for the lower register of her
phenomenal range contains. the deep
organ tones found usually in the
contralto voice only. Her entire COM
pass of nearly three octaves is
equally as good in all registers Nine.
Hellstrom is also wonderfully gifted by
nature with a keen intelligence, a per-
feet physique, a lovely Diquant face.
full of life and animation and varying
in expression with each passing
thought.
At Chicago she sans in the Audi
torium for over 1000 enthusiastic
listeners in October. At her second
appearance In Minneap polls in August
she was given an. ovation which
equaled if not excelled anything ever
witnessed there.

He sang He Done Me Wrong, Clint
Draper sang 'tBill- Simmons
a. very pretty climax to- the first
part was supplied in the musical num-
ber .GoOdby Sweet Marie Harley
whitman sang the solo, and the chorus
supplied the refrain. A spot light was
thrown upon an Elk painted in the rear
drop of the stage setting. A portion of
the curtain was raised leaving the spot
light upon an oval opening in the
scenery that revealed Miss Ruby Ruff,
as Sweet Marie.7
Tiff Felix who has but seldom appear
ed in public in Topeka was on the pro-
gramme for trombone solo,. Mr.. Felix
is a soloist of talent, sand his trombone
number was one of the most pleasing
feature of the second part.
Frank Gahagen's nlonologue, it must
be admitted, stood out distinctively
from the remainder of the minstrel
show.
He made his entrance upon the stage
in a toy automobile and sang Frank
Rye entitled, 'eIt Must be Love. One
would never forget the song after hear
ing Lalor sing it, and Mr. rGahagen
gave an admirable limitation of the
clever comedian. tt was a happy Sc
lection, and one that made a hit with
the audience. Gahagen wore leather
cap and goggles, an auto veil, and coat,
and looked the part of the auto enthus-
last as he footed onvand off the stage.

The findings of Mr.. Brewster We're
| filed today with the clerk of the Uni
! ted States circuit court.
/ As forecasted in the State Journal the
suit against the Rock Island is the only
! one recommended for dismissal; the re-
naming two roads are held to be still
4 in error
The suit as first brought against the
Rock Island was on the basis of the
exist nce- of ian old bridge which has
since been torn down and given way
for a new bridge meeting the require
ments of the secretary of the war. This
4 ton of the suit and upon the reception
1 of additional testimony by the special
master the dismissal is ordered at the
cost of the defendant, the Rock Island.
The special master makes a mental
! reservation as to the dismissal to this
extent in his findings:
That said new bridge, except that
4 the channel Hereunder is clear of OBJ
struetion save said middle pier and is
about s. fleets higher than the former
bridge and about so feet wider between
/ abutments, offers the same obstruction
to the navigation Of said river as the
former bridge when this suit was be-
! gun. 'aAafs nsadw an .ss %
The seere tarys- OF, war pproxes the
new. bridge; the referee has. some other
opinion about It but the secretary of
wars word goes and the government
cannot very we'll continue to prosecute
the suit That is the dilemma For
that reason the special master says to
dismiss the suit but holds a mental
| reservation still to the obstruction OF
/ the channel by the bridge.
The Union Pacific and Missouri Pa
cific are held to obstruct the channel
and the recommendations call for in
| junction proceedings to restrain the two
roads from continuing their use of the
two bridges or provide that new bridges
be constructed entirely, or that the
present bridges be rebuilt so as not I'd
afford obstruction or the construction
of a draw bridge.
The new bridge plans must meet the
approval of the secretary of war.
The Recommendations as to the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Union Pacific are
| identical
The Union Pacific proposes to fight
the findings of the special master be-
fore Judge Pollock on the grounds that
the bridge was constructed before the
passage of the act of congress under
which the suit is brought
Judge Pollock will pass finally on the
