DIDN'T KEEP THE SECRET.
Great Mystery i'm Election OF John
Dawson President Kansas Day Club.

John S. Dawson, assistant attorney
general of Kansas, was on Saturday
afternoon elected president of the
Kansas Day club by the executive
committee, to succeed S. H. Brandon
and the members of the committee
who were present entered into a
solemn agreement to keep the election
of Mr.. Dawson secret for Is days.
But~the inforrnatio leaked out to-
day, and is causing a lot of comment.
People who attended the meeting
say that they do not know why it was
considered necessary to keep the news
a secret. Instead of announcing the
election of Dawson, the reporters were
told on Saturday that the resignation
of President Brandon had been re-
jected, and that he would therefore
continue as president of the club.
Last January when the club met in
Topeka and elected its officers, Mr..
Dawson had a boom for the presi-
dency. But it looked as though there
would be a hard fight made on him,
and he declined to get into the fight.
The result was that the machine"
Republicans nominated ex-senator
Moorehuse of Council Grove, and the
Brandon was elected by a good sized
majority.
Those who were present and par
ticipated in the election of Mr.. Daw-
son to the office of president were H.
Ward Page, representing the First
district; J. N. Dol1ey. representing the
Fourth; Seth G. Wells, representing
the Fifth district; o. o.
Osborne. representing the Sixth dis
trict and w. H. Vernon, secretary Of
the club.

KILLED BY WEIGHT
Harry Arnett Loses His Life at
Wholesale House.
Struck on Head as He Leaned
Over Elevator Shaft.

Harry Arnett, an employee of the Nc
Cord-Kistler Mercantile company, was
instantly killed at 7:30 this morning in
an elevator accident. Arnett looked
down the freight elevator shaft, and
was struck on the head by the descend
ing weight. The right side of his skull
was crushed, and he was dead before
any or the other employees reached him.
The accident occurred on the second
floor Of the big wholesale house at Sec
ond and Kansas avenue. Arnett, who
was handling freight on that floor, was
alone at the time, and the elevator was
coming up from below. 1t is evident
that Arnett looked down to see who
was coming, just as the balance weights
descended from above 1t is still mys-
terry why the young man should thrust
his head through the only dangerous
place in the elevator. This elevator,
which is situated about the center of
matte gates, which open as the elevator
reaches any floor, and close again
1t moves on. The machine moves very
slowly, and it would be absolutely safe
to look over the tops of the gates at any
time. but Arnett looked through the
side, just above the mechanism which
manipulates the gates, and directly in
line with the slot where the weights are
hung.
DR.. H. H. Keith was called as soon as
the accident was discovered but the
man had evidently died instantly. The
body was removed to Shellabarger's I'M
deTLdhlHS anu an
may be held tomorrow morning.
Mr.. V. B. Kistler, manager of the
wholesale house, said this morning:
his accident was the last thing to
be expected. In the construction of that
elevator, took particular pains to have
it built on the safest possible lines.
Arnett had been working for US about
six weeks, and I had observed that he
was boy of good appearance, and in
dustrious. I was so favorably Impress
ed with him that I have raised his
wages every week, and believed that he
would develop into a flrst-class en-
ploye. He lived at 219 North Chandler
street with his mother, sister and
brother-in-law, a Mr.. Patterson, who
works in the Santa Fe shops"
Arnett was % years of age.

For the Making

Topeka have been so we'll appointed as
the play, I'm the Bishops Carriage"
which makes it's appearance at the
Grand on Thursday. In addition to Miss
Busley, who occupies the star position,
there are a number of others who are
well known to the majority of theater-
goers of this city. Hallet Thompson,
Harry English George Richards, George
Maud Monroe and Pauline Palmer are
among the strong players who, make
up this excellent cast.
Maude A. Scott, styled as statuesque,
has been engaged by Charles H. Yale
to play the hero, Carlos. in the twenty
sixth edition of 1.-THE Everlasting
Devils Auction company. Miss Scott
is a girl of the Gibson type and is in
direct contrast to Miss Alma Miffard
a dashing brunette and the Count For
tuno of the play. Further contrast can
be found in the golden haired Miss
Vera Belmont; the American beauty,
Miss Violet Eilson, or the dainty Paris
ian type of Miss Emma Prayer. In
fact, in conjunction with the principal
dancers, secundos, coryphees and bal
lerine, who represent almost every ma
tionality from all parts of the globe,
it is safe to say that the twenty-sixth
edition of the Devils Auction" has
established congress Of beauty in
more ways than one.
Much interest centerS In the FORTH
coming presentation here of THE
Grand Mogul' at the Grand on Satur-
day night, as it is the first work that
the popular authors of 1.-The Prince of
Pilsen" have offered since that great
success. THE Grand Mogul'' is a mod
ern, up-to-date musical comedy in
which neither comedy nor music Is
lacking, and interpreted by the best
company of singers, players and dancers
that Klaw & Erlanger have ever organ
lied The cast of 100 singers and COM
edians is headed by Frank Moulan, who
has the best part that has fallen to his
lot since his initial success as the Sui
tan of Sulu. The perfect production
has had the stage direction of Herbert
Gresham; the scenery was painted by
Ernest Albert. a master of the brush,
and the gorgeous costumes are from
original designs by F. Richard Ander-
son. The scenes of THE Grand Mogur'
are laid in Honolulu and in the island
of hide, thus affording picturesque en-
vironment. The Pixley-Luders musical
comedy may be said to mark the high
water mark in such productions for the
present season. The original Klaw &
Erlanger company which appeared in
New York and Chicago will be seen
here. A special orchestra accompanies
the production.

COMMENTS OF The PRESS.

In the matter of the shooting up of
Brownsville by the negro troops Sena-
tor Tillman failed to hold his ear to
the ground. He, therefore, failed to
catch the drift of sentiment in the
Palmetto state where the state senate
has lined up against his disapproval Of
the action of President Roosevelt
Wilmington Star.
That is an extraordinary con-
dition in Kentucky when a Judge
has to stop a session of court
to save himself and others 'from
assassination One could hardly be-
lieHe it but for the fact that past ex-
perience shows that armed men do
not gather in Jackson for an idle
purpose. - Charlotte Chronicle.
Durham county during the past
year received $6.71S09 from fines i'm
posed by mayors magistrates and SUI
perior courts, which goes into the
school funds. 1t is possibly not true
that the county has worse criminal
record than some others. but that her
mayors and magistrates more nearly
live up to their duty than do others.
Other counties would do well to take
pointer here.-Stanley Enterprise.
Mr. Douglass has introduced his bill
to regulate the speech of automobiles
in Wake county Pass it. So far,
however. there is no evidence to 81
that any person was injured or killed
by a reckless chauffeur But there
is evidence, as the newspaper files
will show, that many good citizens
were killed and injured by runaway
horses. II might be advisable, there
fore. to enact a law to punish those
through whose recklessness many are
hurt.-Raleigh Times.
One of the best OF the many sug.
! gestiOns made to the legislature is
that the law be amended so as to
stop. the exchange Of circuits by ST.
perior court judges. One paper, the
Roanoke Chowan Times. says at has
been charged that exchanges have
been made to give Judge a chance to
punish his enemies ami to favor his
friends in cases pending in courts. >

whether or not there is any basis for

could arise is OF itself sufficient war

Unicorn root (HelOnidS Dlotca) one of

So many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
nivance Of jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, that DR.. Pierce deter
mined to completely disarm his assaIl-
ants by a full and frank statement of
their exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and cor
rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue OF those who had
assailed his good name as well as the
well-earned reputation of his world
famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper Of every
bottle Of Dr. perce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, haze printed upon it, IN platH
English, a full and complete list OF all
the ingredients composing it, but a
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, OF
all the different schools OF practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings Of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing in the strongest
possible terms, each and every ingred-
lent contained in DR.. Perce's medi-
cines. One Of these little books will be
mailed free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DR.. K. '.
Pierce, Buffalo, y. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some OF the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over worked, rundown nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one OF the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton OF DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescrip'
ton was known To the Indians as
wSouaw-Weed." Our knowledge OF the
uses of not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
As made up by improved and exac
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the ia
vorite Prescription" is a most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements, al
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion
overcoming painful periods, tOning W
