filed November 27, 1906. The second
supplemental petition was filed in

that the lions, monkeys, ponies and
dogs were under the immediate con-
troll, direction and management of Al
G. Barnes and that they were owned
co-jointly by him with his wife, Dollie
Barnes. That they in turn were un

Mrs Ethel James. a lion tanner, at
S125 per week, says it was almost as
bad as that. In the United States cir
cult court today she is suing the Par
ker Amusement company of Abilene
and others for $4,000 damages be-
cause she was chewed up by three
fierce lions.
Mrs. James is just about feet
inches high, petite, weighs about 95
pounds-and is, well just a mere
handful She wears her hair mar
celed in a perfectly grand manner and
though she alleges that her looks were
badly disfigured as the result of her
encounter she is still mighty good
looking.
Mr.. Charles Parker of the Parker
Amusement company of Abilene says
it is just a case of hold up" Accord
ing to his version, lion tanners always
assume the risk incident to going into
a den of lions and any attempt to
shift the responsibility to those who
may own the wild beasts is a mere
eubterfuge.
So there you are.
But this is not entirely all-no one
wants to claim ownership of the three
lions-Nubians-as they are described

AT the annual meeting of the Topeka
Kennel club held at Fullerton's Sport

dent, A. c. Nagel; second vice presi-

at the meeting last night will con-
stitute the board of directors.
Arrangements are being completed
for the dog show which will be held in
the auditorium from February 20 to the
18th inclusive, and the indications are
that it will be one Of the big events of
the winter season. Contrary to the
idea which prevails in some parts of
the country the Topeka Kennel club
approves of the action taken by the
city council in affording protection to
the canine pets and imposing license
to pay for the cost of such protection.
Arrangements have been made to have
G. w. Clayton who is acknowledged to
be one of the best judges of dogs In
the United States officiate at the show
in February.
Besides numerous other prizes which
are to be awarded at this show % sill
yer cups have been ordered and these
will be given to owners of prize winners
in % different classes of dogs If that
many are represented. One Of the
schemes which has been proposed for
the purpose of learning the popular
choice of dogs among the patrons of
the show will be a voting contest, one
vote being allowed for each paid adj
mission and this will be used to de-
eide the popular breed of dogs from
the standpoint of the outsider.
The following committee will have
supervision of the show: A. C. Nage1,
chairman; ]. C. Harmon, o. E. Hun
gate, w. C. Hindman. c. E. Jewell, ].

VERY DANGEROUS
Some People Virtually Dynamite the
Bowels.

We have the utmost pity and SYM
pathy for those misguided creatures
who virtually dynamite" their bowels
IN the desperate effort to relieve or
cure constipation. One of the most
intractable forms of constipation is
that caused by taking violent purga-
tive pills, tablets or other strong
cathartics. instead of using a gentle
soothing but always effective medi-
cine. If you are really sick why. OF
course, take the proper medicines
plain, common vegetable treatment
which viii not shatter the nerves or
ruin the stomach.
When requested for such a prescrip-
tion for the cure Of indigestion and
stomach trouble a noted authority
said: you must make the stomach
do its work; and most OF all. you must
keep acids from forming in the
stomach. This is the cause of stomach
troubles and poor digestion. For these
conditions / would suggest the follow
ing prescription, which is composed Of
only vegetable ingredients, which can
