NO MORE FOR GAS
Manager Treleaven Denies
Rumor of an Advance.
Has Had No IntimatiOn of a
Change.
MAXIMUM 45 CENTS.
Charge Here Is Twenty Cents
Below That Figure.
Many Extensions Have Been
Made This Summer.

An advance in the prices for natural
gas for domestic consumption in To-
peka is rumored will be made on Janu-
airy /.
The present price for natural gas for
domestic consumption is % cents per
thousand. cubic feet and 10 cents per
thousand cubic feet for manufacturing
purposes.
The maximum prices specified in the
franchise are As cents for domestic con-
sumption and 80 cents for manufactur-
ing.
L. G. Treleaven, manager of the Con-
sumers' Light, Heat and Power COM
pany does not believe any increase in
the price of gas will be made, and is
inclined to brand the story as canard.
Il have no intimation that raise
will be made and have no orders to
put in an increase" said he. II don't
believe any raise will be made. though
no increase will be made because that
is for the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany to'say. 1t is something over which
we have no power. But 1 have no in
timation whatever that any raise will
be made in the price,
The gas company has made many
miles of new main extensions within
the last two years. 1t is now covering
the east part of the city and reaching
over into Oakland with a close network
of mains, a district which has hither to
been unserved. Prior to this summer
its main extensions have been made
largely in the west, south and central
portions of the city. few months
more and scarcely block in the city
or the Immediate suburbs will be with
out a service. To put in an increased
rate to the domestic consumers will
work hardship upon thousands of pat
rons who have put in the connections
and gas stoves which with gas at As
cents per thousand would be more cost
ly than coal for heating and cooking
purposes. The people who had INSTALL
ed the stoves would feel however, that
they could not afford to throw away
their stoves and would be compelled to
continue the use of the gas. The gas
company would hold the whip hand.
Any considerable increase in the cost
of the manufacturing rate would drive
the manufacturer to the use of COAL
The manufacturer would not relatively
be in quite bad a position as the
smaller consumer as his proportinate
cost of changing his boilers over to the
use of gas from coal is smaller.

THANKFUL
An Iowa Woman Who Suffered
for Six Years and Was
Cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Every woman will recognize the
symptoms described by Mrs. Stella Liv-
ermore of Anthem. Iowa. who says:
I was sick for six years and often
had dizzy spells. when blur would
come over my eyes and it seemed as
though I was looking through a
smoked glass. My limbs were swollen
and ached and often there would be
such sharp, shooting pains through
them that I would have to cry out.
also had great deal of pain back of
my eyes, through the top of my head
and the back of my neck When rest
though it was lying on rocks. Every
once in while my face would flush
up and get as hot as a coal. My stom-
ach distressed me by a dull burning
sensation and anything with acid
would generally disagree with me- I
was so weak in my back that 1 could
hardly turn over in bed or raise up
when I stopped over. I was also trou-
my right arm and shoulder and for
three years couldn't do my ironing or
housework with that arm. My condi-
ton nearly brought on nervous pros
t1ation.
IT tried to keep up and do what
work 1 could. but there would be a
week at time when 1 would have to
lie in bed. I became completely run
down and weighed only little over
100 pounds. 1 used the doctors medi-
helping me. l gave that up and tried
several remedies with no better results.
The druggist then urged me to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills. After while /
felt much better and took the pills for
several months. / soon began to get
my strength back and my nervousness
left me. 1 regained the use of my
right arm and gained in weight until
1 now weigh over 165 pounds. I can
do all of my work and am perfectly
well. No one can be more thankful
than for what the pills have done for
me-

MAN AND WOMAN SHOT.
Much Mystery Exists as to Who Did
the Shooting.

Brazil. Ind. Sept. 6.-Dr. Edward
Glasgow, a physician, is dead from three
bullet holes through his head and his
wife is slightly wounded in the left
breast, as the result of mysterious
shooting last night. Glasgow and his
wife had separated, Glasgow applying
for divorce. Mrs. Glasgow accompan-
led by Attorney Charles Whitelock Of
Terre Haute drove to a brick plant
where Glasgow was to try to arrange
settlement of alimony. Whitelock got
out of the buggy and Glasgow got in
and started to drive into the city when
the shooting occurred. When the ply
stefan arrived at the scene Glasgow
was unconscious in the buggy and soon
died. Mrs. Glasgow refused to talk or
the shooting. A revolver with five cham
bers empty was found near the buggy.
The woman was placed under arrest
charged with the murder of her hus-
band. Attorney Whitelock also is being
held by the police. Mrs. Glasgow says
her husband tried to shoot her and then
shot himself.
Glasgow's wounds are such physicians
say that he could not have inflicted
them himself.
