THE LID WAS ON.
All Business Closed in Kansas City
Except T1leaters.

Kansas City, Nov. 4.-Never before
in the history of this city was sun
day so strictly observed by the busl-
ness interests as it was yesterday. All
the merchants who have heretofore
def1ed the attempts of Criminal Judge
". II. wallace to enforce. the state
law forbidding unnecessary labor on
Sunday, obeyed the Sunday closing
order The theaters, however, were
omen as usual as they are protected
by injunction proceedings pending in
the federal court.
The decision of the merchants to
obey the law was brought about by
the wholesale arrests of those persons
who were indicted by the grand jury
Saturday for refusing to comply with
the law during the two previous Sun
DAYS. The persons arrested were
placed under bonds ranging from
$500 to $1,000 each.

Houston. Tex, Nov. 4.-Young
men with college or technical school
training are wanted in the service of
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonio railway. Vice President
Thornwell Fay, of the Hartman lines
in Texas has written to the president
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
college of the state, asking for the
names of graduates or students who
want to learn railroading from the
ground up.
These students will be placed first
in the accounting department, and
then in district superintendent Of
fees, with section crews, under road
masters and engineers, and SO on
through every department necessary
to a thorough education in railroad
ing Mr.. Fay suggests that "infiuen-
tiaI connection should not be consid-
cred and that the young men should
be selected solely upon their own
merits considering only their courage,
intelligence, and ability" and prom
ises to keep a watchfuI eye on these
student members of his staff.
Underlying this policy is the same
motive that led to the establishment
of the free travelling libary on the G.

lines in Texas. To provide instruc-
ton and entertainment for it's section
men, their families, and neighbors.

SHEEP RAISING PAYS.
Brown County Farmers Are Making
Money at the Business

HiaWatha, Kan, Nov 4.-The farm
ers of Brown county are becoming
greatly interested in the raising of
sheep. Few farmers hereabouts feed
sheep for the market. Most of them
buy the ewes in the fall and before a
year has passed the farmer markets
the lambs and the wool from the ewes
D. L. Adams of near Baker is one of
the largest raisers of sheep in the
county. A year ago he bought 362
ewes for less than $4,000 This wear
the wool brought him S575.3O; 36S
lambs at $4.75 head $1,74S, and has
creased in value 81 a head. The wool,
lambs and increase in value of this
ewes amounted to $2,6S5.30. Mr.
Adams fed the sheep in eighty acres
farm, all worth about $500. This leaves
him nearly $4,000 clear from a $4,000
investment.
B. K. Babcock, east of Hiawatha,
at 81 each. Mr.. Babcock figures that
he has sold $3.50 worth of lambs and
wool from each ewe-a total amount
of $864.50. His ewes have increased
500 in value. This makes a return of
s964.50 from an investment of 1864
less than year ago.
c. A. Mccoy, four miles north OF
Hiawatha, a year ago bought four
bucks and 200 ewes for $3.50. His
ewes grew an average of nine pounds
of wool He sold the 1900 pounds of
wool for 1887, and sold 204 lambs for
$3.50 each, a total of $1.142.4O. The
ewes are worth $500 more than they
were a year ago. This means a total
of $1,729.40. Last winter he fed the
sheep on ten acres of corn in the field
which was worth 5000 to him; also let
the sheep forage on 100 acres of corn
stalks worth about SO cents an acre;
he put the sheep on sixty
acres of pasture worth about $3.50. This
gives Mr.. Mccoy net profit Of
$1,229.40 from an investment Of $3.50
wear ago.

Catarrh of
The Stomach
Most Dangerous Disease, Which
Causes Serious Results, Unless
Properly Treated

Catarrh of the Stomach is yerv
common and is known as one of the
most obstinate diseases, which, when
neglected or improperly treated with
cheap patent medicines, tonfcs drugs
pills and other secret quack remedies
results in a broken down constitution
and often consumption and death.
Catarrla of the Stomach, like every
other disease of the stomach, except
cancer, is the result of poor digestion
The digestive organs have become
weak. there is a lack of gastric juice,
your food is only half digested, and as
a result you become effected with loss
of appetite, pressure and fullness af-
ter eating, heartburn, vomiting wat
erbrash, tenderness at pit of stomach
Shiny tongue, bad taste in the mouth
constipation. pain in limbs and face
diarrhoea, sick headaches, dizzin ess
mental depression, nervous weakness
and many other common symptoms.
If your stomach can not digest the
food you eat, then the stomach needs
a rest, as that is the only way you
can get rid of your catarrh, but in
the meantime your body needs plenty
of nourishment, because you must live
and in order to live you must eat, and
if you must eat, your food must be
properly digested, and If your stom-
ach is too weak to do the work then
you must get a substitute that will do
the work
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only known substitute that will d.
gets your food as well as any healthy
stomach. They contain vegetable and
fruit essences, aseptic pepsin (gov
test), golden seal and diastase. the
very elements necessary to digest all
foods
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret remedy and for that very reas-
on thousands of physicians all over
the United States recommend them to
their patients for catarrh of the
stomach, dyspepsia of all kinds. and
other stomach troubles. Experiments
and tests have proven that one grain
of the active principle contained in
these tablets will digest 5000 grains
of food.
Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets are in
the form of pleasant tasting tablets

CEDARvALE WITHOUT GAS.
No Coal Is On Hand and the Town Has
a. Fuel Famine.

Cedarvale, Kan, Nov. 4.-This town
is still without gas. The lines supply
ing the town have been cut off. The
cause assigned is that there was not
enough gas to supply that city and the
others on the line, and Cedarvale, be-
ing the outlying town, is the victim.
The most serious feature of this Ia
that the city is threatened with fuel
famine. Winter is coming on, and no
supply of fuel has been laid in, it being
supposed that the gas supply would
continue.
