was of a trivial nature. they threaten

Another Good Show Is on the Bill at
This House.

Four cleverly trained ponies, twice as
many equally as cleverly trained dogs
and a couple of monkeys, one of which
is a comedian of no small ability, give
an entertaining dog and pony show at
the Novelty theatre this week under
the direction of their trainer Prof.
Schepp. The dogs and horses are far
above the usual run of trained animals
that are seen on the vaudeville cir
cults and any numbeds of thir tricks
brought forth hearty applause from the
large audiences which attended the first
performances of the show on yesterday
afternoon and last night. One of the
monkeys does a disrobing act that is
laughable, and then makes a leap
for life" from a platform up near the
roof, The other one distinguishes him
self by discharging a rifle.
There are two other first class acts on
the bill, George Dewey and the Dayton
sisters are unusually clever dancers and
Mr.. Dewey wears a cutaway coat of
new tangled design that is we'll worth
seeing, Kipp and Kippy present
comedy Juggling act with many good
stunts in it. For an illustrated song
Mr.. F. N Irwin presents ''Since You
Call Me Dearie." Owing to a severe
cold Mr. Irwin was unable to sing at
the performances last night but he
hopes to have his voice in shape so
that he can fulfill his part during the

police Saturday night. Messrs. Ben
jamin Jordan, colored. and Hutchin-
son Cave, white, were the victims.
Jordan's dispensary on West Railroad

personal property.
Ben Jordan, the unfortunate Of
Railroad street, has long been known
as a persistent jointist. 1t was not
long ago that a Topeka man, attend
Wichita, was asked by native: '"Will
they ever dry up your town." And

Jordan. He is old, but as long as he
lives-unti1 his funeral is announced

Loved of gods and men (when men

no thorn with it, to prick the little f1ng-

There is no poison in it's leaves or in it's

The singular leaves, which gave this
flower it's original name (dent de lion
lions tooth), are quantity suggestive.
The leaves are favorites among all ma
lions as an herb for boiling. They are
a statutory tonic, promotive of digestion.
When the bloom of the dandelion is
gone the stems arise in single night,
as by magic, to hold up to the winds

it is in fact, if the botanists are to be

draw upon this darling flower for its

can be alleged against the dandelion?
That it kills the grass? 1t Is not true.

SHOWED PRESENCE OF MIND.
Nervy Act of Well Drilers Avertcd
Fearful Disaster.

Two oil we'll drillers, Earl Sheets
and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction,
underwent an experience last week
that would make feature" for a life
and death melodrama, says the Kan
sas City Star. The two men were SUI
Ilerintending the shooting of a We'll.
Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin
had been brought to the we'll to be
used in the shot.
A shell" containing 80 quarts had
been lowered, but it stuck in the well.
The operators thought they could
shove the can on down in the well by
letting the baler down in the we'll on
top of it. The plan appeared to have
worked all right, and the baler was
drawn up out of the well, and part
way up toward the top of the derrick
before the Mortified spectators noticed
that the can of deadly explosive had
caught in the baler and was then
dangling in the air, ready to fall
Just as Sheets and Winks looked up,
the shell came loose and started to-
ward the ground Realizing that if it
ever hit the ground these 80 quarts Of
nitro would explode and kill everyone
in the vicinity, the two men with pres
ence of mind, ran under it and caught
it in their hands If they had failed
in this, not one of the spectators
would have "lived to tell the story"

FOR THE OCCASIONAL NAP.
Why the Couch Should Be Considered
Indispensable.

"a room without couch is only
half furnished" says an authority on
homemaking Life is SO full of ups
and downs that often and often all
that saves the sanity of the mentally
jaded and physically exhausted for
tune fighter is the occasional half hour
rest or momentary loss of conscious
ness OIL. the breakfast room lounge or
the old sofa in the sitting-room. A
long, comfortable couch, on which one
may throw himself, boots and brains.
unmindful of tides and tapestries, is
a veritable means of grace. The need
of a good, healthy nap is often mis-
taken for suicidal tendencies. Instead
of a speedy introduction to a future
state, business men and working wom-
en- want systematic doses of doing,
and next best to a mossy bank in the
shade of an old oak is the low, long
couch in the dusky corner, where tired
nature can turn her face to the wall
and dream away the blues.

Gar as Composer of Music.

For the last Is months the czar has
been virtually prisoner in one OF
his own palaces and in the intervals
of state work he has solaced himself
with composing music and writing
verse. His poetry is melodious and
carefully polished and his music is
melancholy and inspired by spirit OF
fatalism. Some three years ago some
of the czar's poems. were published
under the pseudonym of Olaf, with
music by his cousin, the Grand Duke
D'Assia, but he has himself set some
of his verses to music with consider
able amount of taste and real knowl'
edge of harmony. Nicholas II. has a
fine collection of violins, Of which he
is very proud.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
81 had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. l followed instruc-
tions and now / am entirely well.
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; 1t also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
gine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.
