RAIN HURT THE FAIR.
Rice County Entertainment Practically
a Failure.

Sterling, Kan. Aug. 4-The Rice
County fair came to a close yesterday,
and was practically a failure on ac-
count of rain that fell two days out of
the three, interfering with the races,
which would have been a very import
ant part of the fair. as there was sew
eraI good horses here. The carnival
company that is holding forth in the
streets is meeting with very good sue
cess. and IS furnishing entertainment
for the people, in the way Of sideshows
and high diving dogs and ponies It
seems Rice county has more than her
share of rain during her fairs Sterling
has the reputation of being a dry town
but takes the other extreme during fair
week.

JAMES MOORE FRUSTRATED.
One of the Moore Brothers, of thu
Rock Island, Seriously Ill.

I6OCA 1oAdiANs SC1AOUIAS
Chicago, Aug. deep depression
has been caused among the friends of
James Hobart Moore, whose nervous
breakdown has removed for time
from the world of finance one of its
most striking and spectacular figures.
At GlenwoOd Springs. Colo, where he
is being given cave baths. the utmost
secrecy has been preserved by his
physician, and corps Of carefully
selected attendants who arrived with
Mr.. Moore and his brother, William
H. Moore, in a private car last Sat
urday. The reports received by his
friends have only added to the gloom
caused when news of his condition
was first received from Lake Geneva,
Wis, his summer home No improve
ment is shown. No one is permitted to
see him except his physicians, nurses,
attendants and the members aof his
immediate family.
The Moore brothers are the con-
trolling factors in the Rock Island
Frisco properties and other lines in
the southwest
A later dispatch from Chicago says:
The condition of James Hobart
Moore, fnancier, horseman, and mem
Der of the most prominent clubs of
Chicago, is much better. according to
kilograms received last night by Mrs.
Moore at her summer home at Lake
Geneva.
Mr.. Moore suffers from slight at
tack of nervous prostration because of
overwork and anxiety over the illness
of Mrs. Nathaniel Moore. his sons
wife. Rumors that his condition was
critical got abroad and alarmed his
friends and business associates. but
kilograms inquiring about his illness
were all answered in an optimistic
manner by himself from Glenwood
Springs Colo, where he intends to
stay few weeks.
Mr.. Moore's daughter-in-law has
recovered fully. and, relieved of the
prin cipal cause for his anxiety. the
millionaire financier showed symp-
toms of rapid recovery.
Mr.. Moore is taking cave baths at
the springs and is accompanied by his
brother. William H. Moore, and a
staff of nurses and attendants. Ru-
mors that Mr. Moore's condition
would cause his permanent with
drawal from business were emphat-
ically denied by Mrs. Moore last night.
Mr. Moore is merely one of the
many Chicago business men who take
vacation and rest cure at Glen
wood Springs" said Mrs. Moore. Il
knew nothing of any serious condi-
ton until I heard reports here yes
terday I telegraphed at once. and Mr..
Moore replied that he was better than
ever since he left home.'

A catarrhal condition Of the stomach
may spread to the duodenum and then
continue through the large bile ducts
into the liver
This partly obstructs the bile ducts
and produces sluggishness Of the liver.
Sometimes the ducts are SO obstruct-
ed as to produce a stoppage OF the bile.
in which case the bile is thickenedf and
forms into connections called gall
stones. Bilious collie is the result.
Most cases of bilious collie depend
upon catarrh OF the liver For this
condition purgatives are generally
used. These give temporary relief, but
do not cure.
The correct thing to do is to remove
the catarrh. Then the liver rights
itself.
Any one troubled with sluggish liver
should give Peruna a fair trial.
If. after taking one bottle, relief is
experienced, It should be followed by q
thorough course of Peruna until com
plete relief is obtained.

Hartman Hill and Milwaukee rail-
way interest in the northwest is
reaching an acute stage. 1t developed
yesterday that James ]. Hill is be-
hind the Dakota Midland railway,
which is about to invade the Milwau-
kee territory between Sioux City
Iowa. and Pierre, s. D. The new road
is to run through part of the great
corn belt of Iowa in competition with
the Milwaukee. Having failed to get
control of the Milwaukee in 1901, Mr.
Hill has now started to parallel the
system wherever possible in retalia-
ton for the Milwaukee's construction
of an extension to the Pacific coast J.
P. Morgan and his interest are allied
with Mr.. Hill. and the Hartman in
terests are believed to be in close
alliance with the Milwaukee.
