The Outlook
The future outlook of the Illinois League especially
bright. The great victory by the League in the
state of Ohio in their campaign against the governor
of that has thrill through the temperance
force of Illinois, and still fills with enthusiasm and
courage.
What they have done in Ohio can do and will do,
if necessary in Illinois. We do not believe, however,
that would be necessary for to do battle with

DEVLIN HOLDING co.
Receiver Bradley Says Prospects for
One Are Bright.

Things look bright for the forma-
ton Of a holding company of the cred
itors Of thetDevlin estate, said James
4. Bradley of the defunct First Ma
tional who returned last evening from
a meeting Of the creditors held IN
Kansas City Monday.
"A new plan has been suggested, -
he continued. Il am not at liberty
to tell what the plan is but it indicates
favorably that a solution to the diff
hcuities has been discovered. The
meeting adjourned until Thursday and
at that time I feel confident that de-
veiopments will show that the holding
plan win either have to be given up or
that it can be formed. The meeting
Thursday will settle this question
finally without doubt We were
forced to adjourn the meeting owing
to the enforced absence of one Of the
members of the committee, Edward
Carroll Of Leavenworth, who was
called away by the illness of his son.
No action of any consequence was
taken
Il look for some great action to take
place Thursday" said sam Radges, of
the local creditors committee. 1.-THE
large interests which are involved in
this estate are very anxious to have
this agitation settled in order that they
may start action towards getting their
money turned loose"

Again last night was the Grand
opera house crowded to its utmost
with Topeka best citizens. News of
the wonderful cures performed by the
Boy Phenomenon ait his previous
demonstration travelled fast and far,
and long before the time of opening
e surging mass Of humanity was con-
greBated I'm front Of the theater.
While 1T was the second public dem

and more interest was manifested than
on the previous occasion. Many hun

cumbed to this wonderful power.
one Of the most notable cases treat

been afflicted with paralysis of the en-

healer began his magic manipuladons
which consisted merely Of a succession
Of gentle rubbings and light dextrous
tappings of the affected parts. But the
results we're magical and startling. At
every touch of his magnetic hands the
effect was visible on the countenance
Of the patient The treatment occu-

that short time he was able to rise and
walk back and forth across the stage
and down the steps to his seat IN the
audience. and going through other
actions which he stated he could not
have done five minutes previous for all
the money in the world.
For over an hour such scenes were
repeated. during which time nearly a
score OF cases were treated. of as many
different diseases. each case seemingly
worse than the preceding one. and the
results obtained were more gratifying
and successful. Tt was the most mar

EATEN OUT OF
HOUSE AND HOnE
How a Confirmed DyspeDtic Developed
an Appetite Like a Cornhusker's
and Cleaned Out Fvery-
thing In Sight

The wife of a leading druggist of
Des MONIES tells how her brother was
changed from dyspeptic without ap-
petite to a Drodigious eater.
MY brother. who is LAWYER in
Chicago came to visit me and hardly
knew him on his arrival he was SO
thin and run down had -nac seen
him for years and was much ALA lf4eff
at his appearance. He told ME no to
worry as he had been IN this condition
for years as a result of chronic dyspep-
STA. I asked him what he had done
for it, and he said he had done every
thing-taken every. remedy he had ever
heard Of and consulted doctors without
number, none of them helped him I
asked him if he ever took Stuart's Dys-
peDsia Tablets, and he said he hadn t
and what was more he wouldn't. He
had sworn off taking medicine Of any
kind.
Il had my husabnd bring home a
box from the store and I actually made
him take one or two of the tablets
after he had eaten. They made him
feel SO much better that he offered no
further objection. He had not taken
the one box before he was greatly inn
proved and three or four boxes cured
him of dyspepsia and gave him a Won
derful appetite. He came near eating
US out of house and home. Ny, but II
did me good to see him eat He gained
fifteen pounds before he returned
home, and he writes me that he has
not been troubled with dyspepsia
since"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of their work Of digestive action.
Their component parts are identical
with those Of the digestive fluids and
secretions of the stomach and they
simply take up the grind and carry on
the work just the same as a good,
strong, healthy stomach would do it.
on this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural IN their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus
relieving the stomach OF its work, en-
able it to recuperate and regain its nor
nal health and strength. Nature re-
pairs the worn and wasted tissues just
as she heals and knits the bone of q
broken limb, which is of course not
used during the process of repair.

G. A. II. MONEY IS EXHAUSTED.
state Printing Funds Appropriated
Are All Used Up.

All the money which the state print
ing board allowed the state depart
ment of the Grand Army of the Re
public for their official printing has
been exhausted. and the state will not
let them have any more work done at
the state printing plant until next year.
The appropriation for the year was
$3.50, and as Department Commander
P. H. Coney is quite voluminous when
1t comes to official orders. the entire
amount was absorbed in short order.
The result is that Captain Coney is
not getting out his official orders at
the expense of the department. But
there Is no diminution in<the size and
frequency of the orders.
Circular letter No. was issued the
other day, containing eight closely
written pages about the half fare rate
proposition. on February p, general
orders No. s. were issued giving a big
picture of the late Father J. F.
OLeary. chaplain in chief of the
Grand Army together with several
pages of appropriate memorial matter.
The circulars which were issued at
the state printing plant we're printed in
three colors, but the ones which are
purchased by the G. A. R. out of its
own funds are plain black. and do not
compare very favOra bly, with the state
work from typographical standpoint.
