Arkansas City, Kan, Nov. 12.-The
cases against the druggists and the Elks
and Eagles lodges here have been dis
missed except as to the injunctions

permanent.
Recently the Elks sent a committee
to await on Attorney General Jackson

effected SO that the cases would not be
prosecuted. This committee promised
that the lodge would henceforth be
good, If the cases would be dismissed
and Attorney General Jackson said he
had no desire to punish the Arkansas
City lodge or any of its members so
long as they obeyed the law. The GRIM
tnal cases against the ElkS and Eagles
were dismissed at the costs of the de-
PENDANTS, procedure, however for
which, it is claimed by attorneys there
is no warrant or authority in law.

criminal cases dismissed upon paying
the costs, and to consent to have per-
manent injunction laid against them
and the building in which they were
conducting their business. They were
to have returned to them the LIQUOR,
ETC., which was seized. 1t is also under
stood that in the Elks and Eagles cases
their liquor, ETC., was to be returned
The costs in the cases and attorneys
fees amount to over $4,000.

MAN TORTURED FOR So YEARS.
Suffered From Disease of the Skin. But
Found Cure at Last.

A story written in the own words of
the sufferer has just come from Cow
ington. O.. which has caused a big stir
among skin specialists and among
those suffering from Eczema and other
forms of skin diseases. George Flam-
mer of that city, an old and honored
resident, suffered from Eczema for -
years before he was able to find a cure
and was then saved from further suf-
fering by D. d. D. Prescription. Here
Is what he says about it:
1T had Eczema for 33 years and
two bottles of D. D. D. Prescription
completely cured ne. know that this
sounds strange. I can hardly believe
it myself, but it is the gospel truth. AS
soon as found out what D. D. D.
would do I hunted up two of my best
friends. Mr.. Shuman and Mr.. Rank.
both of whom had Eczema. Both of
them are nearly cured, and Mr.. Rank
has used only seven bottles. 1t is a
wonderful remedy"
D. D. D. Prescription is a liquid
remedy which gets right at the roots of
such diseases as eczema, psoriasis, salt
rheum, BARRIERS itch, etc. 1t doctors
doctored. 1t kills the germs and the
itching scales fall off, leaving the skin
fine and white.
We know that this remedy is absc-
lutely reliable and that it has cured
eczema and the patients appear to be
cured forever. Come in and let us give
you booklet on dieting, bathing and
other necessary things If you are suf-
ferer from skin disease.

HE. VISITED
SOME PATIENTS

Chattanooga, Tenn, Daily News.)
A representative of the News has
just returned from a very successful
visit to California.
Concerning the reports that the long
sought cure for Bright's Disease mas
been discovered, he took special pains
to find out the truth of the matter, and
came back fully convinced.
One lady, the wife Of a San Fran
cisco editor not only told or her hus-
bands remarkable recovery after
reeled off as of no moment, the names
of several they told Of it who had re-
covered. One case was particularly
interesting. 1t was a case of Bright'S
Disease in which the young man was
so impressed that nothing could be
taking the new specific. Each time
dose was administered a tablespoonful
of his old medicine was secretly dis
posed of, thus a1laying suspicious. To
complicate matters as the young man
recovered, the physician became elat-
ed, thinking he had discovered cure
for Bright's Disease. 1t was not until
recovery that there was no uncertainty
about it that the whole plot was dis
closed. One of San Francisco's pfo-
neer druggists also confirmed his own
recovery and made the astonishing
statement that he had given 1T to be-
tween 40 and so and only knew of a
few failures. - Chattanooga Daily

BASEBALL MEETING.
One Is Called for Kansas City Next
Thursday.

Dick Cooley, manager and one of
the owners of the local baseball team,
has received notice from President D.
NJ. Shively of the Western association
announcing the annual meeting of the
Western association in Kansas City
next Thursday morning. Just what
business outside of the regular annual
routine of business will come up at
this meeting is not known. but it is
generally expected that President
Shively will disclose his plans for the
coming season at this time. The
meeting should be a very interesting
and exciting one especially as three of
the Western association teams are
openly trying to get out of the associa-
ton. Wichita has Joined hands with
Topeka, and is trying to get into the
Western league, while Oklahoma City
is a strong contender for the franchise
in the Texas league which is left
vacant by the defunct Temple team.
There seems to be a disposition to
abandon the Leavenworth and Spring
field franchises on account of their
poor financial Rhowing of last season.
Webb City is also being considered as
a discard. Several other towns have
made application to President Shively
for franchises, among which are Cot
feyville, Independence, Enid, Ell Reno
and Shawnee. Whether their applica-
lions will receive consideration or not
will be known at the time of the meet
ing. Cooley will attend the meeting.

ScttIed at Last,

The fathers of the republic debated
in extenso the burning question as 10
how the chief magistrate OF the re.
public should he addressed. Many
titles of varying length and degrees Of
magnificence We're suggested. There
was much OF heart burning and bitter
ness manifested In the debates, letters,

writing, thinking or speaking of the

der Hamilton and Gouverneur Morris,
who at heart We're monarchists, to un.
washed democrats whose ideas of lib.
erty We're much the same as those of
the sans culottes of revolutionary
France. 1t is recorded by a more or
less yeracious chronicler that old John
Adams was in high dudgeon because
no title was given to the president and
vice president. Truth 10 tell, old
John was much enamOred of forms
and ceremonies and dearly loved the
pomp of European courts. The ungod-
ly democrats panied him sorely, and
Jefferson's red velvet breeches scan
dalized him greatly. In passing it may
