 Mir. Bowser had been quiet and pre- occupied all the evening, and Mrs Bowser, although she had noticed his attitude, had failed to make any re- mark on it for fear of starting him off on some tangent. It got to be 9 o'clock and he could stand 1t no longer. After walking the floor for two or three min utes he said:
 "Mrs. Bowser, did you ever hear of Sir James Bull, the celebrated English physician?
 'I think I have seen his name men, tioned,' she carelessly replied.
 And perhaps you may have seen the name of Dr. Delos of France men, tioned!'
 Il can't say. Dr. So-and-so is bring ing out consumption cure today, and some other doctor Is following with a cure for something else to morrow, and one can't keep track of half the names he sees on the bottles in the drug stores."
 Good heavens!' he groaned after regarding her with look of mingled pity and contempt. Il have mentioned

KANSAS CITY
 BUBBLE" SHOW

Kansas City, Mo-, Mar 4-Final ar engagements were completed at Con- vention Hall this afternoon for the formal opening this evening of the first annual exhibition of the Inter- nation Automobile Show association Six car loads of decorations, includ- ing every feature used in the great national automobile show at Madison Square Garden, New York, have been utilized in transforming the big hall into palatial Swiss garden. an al- most exact counterpart of the famous eastern show. Blue canopy, spangled with silvery stars, lines the roof of the hall. Green carpet, with white flakes stimulating snow, covers the floor. The walls on all sides are hung with paintings, carrying out the il- fusion of Alpine scenery, with ham, lets smuggling beneath snowy peaks. and mountain lakes gleaming in the rays of the setting sun. Allegorial figures and back grounds of natural foliage and plants complete the rare picture, without exception the most beautiful of its kind ever seen in the west. The decorations for the Madison Square Garden show cost $75,000 and all have been purchased outright by the Kansas City manage ment.
 The exhibitions of motor cars and accessories have been divided into three departments. The main floor is given over entirely to pleasure ve- hicles. Commercial and utility ma chimes. and all the exhibits descriptive Of motor power, are shown in the basement. Accessories, including tires and parts. are displayed On the elevated platform, in the concert hall and i'll the basement
 The exhibition of Vanderbilt cup racers is one of the most interesting features of the show, as few western people have seen cars bilt for the ter rl1lc speed of ninety or more miles an hour These cars are shown in their full racing equipment and will likely attract much attention.
 The show will be open every after noon and evening during the week and will close at II o'clock Saturday night. There is every prospect tha, the exhibition, which is the first ai its kind ever held in this section will attract thousands of visitors, in cluding automobile enthusiastic iron all over the middle west. z

People Here Wild Over Simple Prescription For Home Made Vegetable Kidney Cure
RELIEVES NEARLY ALL
Makes The Kidneys Act and Over- comes The Most Terrible Gases Of Rheumatism and Bladder Troubles.

To make up enough of the "vege table treatment" which is claimed to be relieving nealy every sufferer who uses it for backache, kidney complaint, sore weak bladder and rheumatism; get from any good prescription pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsa- parilla. Shake we'll in bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 Those who have tried it claim that it acts gently but thoroughly on the kidneys, relieving backache and blader trouble and urinary diff fculties almost instantly. Many cases of rheumatism are known to have been relieved within few days, the pain and swelling dimin- ishing with each dose.
 A well-known local druggist, who is in a position to know, asserts that this prescription, wherever it be- comes known, always ruins the sale of the numerous patent medicine rheumatism cures, kidney cures, etc. It is prescription which the ma jority of patent medicine manufac- turers, and even certain physicians, dislike to see published. Few cases. indeed, which will fail to fully yield to it's peculiarly soothing and heal ing influence. Being composed of common everyday vegetable in- gradients, which can be gotten from any druggist, it makes up good honest and harmless remedy and at small cost.

 II will state the case, but I warn you in advance that I won't stand for any of your sarcasms. If you can't treat 1t seriously you needn't answer at all. You know what sleep is, of course. All creation has to sleep. You have sometimes realized the fact that you were dropping off to sleep. Now then, what part of the human being goes to sleep first?

NOW WE'RE GOOD"
Harvester Trust Pleads Reformation
rs Defense

We were bad once, but we have re-
in the supreme court today by the In
ternational Harvester company against
which proceedings have been commenced
under the antitrust laws of the state.
The company is represented by STAN
ley, Vermiilion & Evans, of Wichita,
and except for the first part
the answer is the same as the answer
filed by the same firm in the custer sun
against the Prairie Oil & Gas company
1t is the International Harvested COM
pany which is trying just now to run a
bluff on the farmers of Kansas who
use trust machinery by threatening to
leave the state of Kansas unless the
antitrust case is dismissed. Some of
the farmers are getting very much agi-
tated, and are urging the attorney gen
e, Al to dismiss the suit.
Answers were also filed this morning
in behalf of the Standard Oil company
of Kansas nd the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana. These two companies,
in connection with the Prairie Oil & Gas
company were all proceeded against in
one action by the state. Stanley, Yer
million & Evans appear as counsel in
both cases. but Alfred D. Eddy also
signs documents. Eddy is the head
counsel of the Standard Oil legal de-
partment. William P. Cowan and VIM.
NJ Burton vice presidents of the In
diana and Kansas corporations respec-
lively swear to the affidavits attached
to the petitions.

the high wind which was blowing lifted
a big tobacco barn from its founda tions

Scannon saw the danger and immedi-

an effort to outrun the barn. The
heavy train was on the down grade and
soon attained great momentum, but
just as It looked as though the peril
would be outrun the big barn crashed
into the caboose, smashing it, The i'm

lapsed on the track. Trainmen on the

deserve ali the condemnation which
you, in your letter say should be
awarded to those who endeavor i'm
properly to influence the course OF
justice.
.'You would of course. be entirely
within your rights if you merely an
nounced that you thought Messrs.
Meyer and Haywood were sdesirab bic
citizens though in such case 1 should
take frank issue with you and should
say that wholly without regard to
whether or not they are guilty of the
tried, they represent as thoroughly an
crime for which they are now being
undesirable type of citizenship as can
be found in this country; type
which. in the letter to which you so
unreasonably take exceptions, I show
ed not to be confined to any one class,
but to exist among some representa-
tfves of great capitalists as well as
among some representatives of wage
workers.
Appeals to Good Citizens.
In that letter I condemned both
types. Certain representatives of the
great capitalists in turn condemned
me for including Mr.. Hartman in my
condemnation of Messrs. Meyer and
Haywood, Certain of the representa-
tives of labor in their turn condemned
me because I included Messrs. Meyer
and Haywood as undesirable citizens
together with Mr.. Hartman.
Il am profoundly Indifferent to the
condemnation in one case as in the
other. I challenge as a right the sup
port of all good Americans, whether
wage-earners or capitalists, whatever
their occupation or creed, or in what
ever portion of the country they live,
when 1 condemn both the types of bad
which I have held up to
reprobation. 1t seems to me a mark
Of utter insincerity to fail thus to
condemn both and to apologize for
either robs the man thus apologizing
Of all right to condemn any wrong
doing in any man, rich or poor, in
public or in private life.
'You saysyou ask for a square deaI'

do L. When I say square deaI' mean
square deal to everyone; it is equally
4 violation of the policy of the square
deal for a capitalist to protest against
1enunciation of a capitalist who is
guilty of wrongdoing and for a labor
eader to protest against the denun-
eiation of a labor leader who has been
guilty of wrongdoing.

BENNETT GOES TO JAIL
Alleged AccOmplice of Douglass Fails
to Furnish Bail.

New York, April 24.-Oliver NJ. Den
nett, the banker and broker, was today
held for trial on the charge of receiving
stolen property. Dennett> was arrested
in accordance with the theft of the Trust
company of America of bonds of the
Rock Island railroad valued at $50000
by w. o. Douglass, as its loan clerk,
who is also in custody
A representative of the district attor-
ney's office informed the court that
bennett was accused of receiving SCI, 900
worth of the stolen bonds, but that $14O,-
900 was moderate estimate of the ag-
gregate value of the bonds stolen.
Counsel for bennett declared that the
bonds bennett was acucsed of receiving
had been returned to the Trust COM
pany of America and that there was
really no legal charge against his client.
bennett being unable to furnish bail,
was remanded to prison.

END OF RATE PROBLEM
President of Wisconsin Commission
Looks for Government Ownership.

Chicago, April pa. dispatch to the
Record-HeTafd from Milwaukee says:
That the final analysis of the railway
rate problem will be governmental
ownership is the belief of John Barnes,
president of the Wisconsin railway
commission. Mr.. Barnes in an address
before the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association said he did not favor
governmental ownership, under this
condition the roads would not be oper-
ate0 either as we'll or as economically
as Under private hands, but he feared
that it might come to that in the end.
There We're, he said, two other meth
ods; first, to permit the roads to run
their busnt SIS as they please, and, sec
ond. to have the rates controlled by the
government. The second he believed to
be the best for the country and it
ought to be given a fair trial before
the proposition of governmental own
ership was considered seriously.
Railroads, he said, were wholly mon
opolistic in their tendencies and were
streEg thening themselves constantly,
and it was time for the government to
step in and fix rates. If this should
not succeed in restoring fairness in
rates then there would be nothing left
but governmental ownership, even if it
had serious disadvantages.

Sometime during the night the wind
blew up a gale which increased rather
than decreased at the sun rose and un-

one time the velocity of the wind is re-
corded at 58 miles per hour.
Awnings have been ripped and torn
from their fastenings and frayed by the
wind which held them in it's grip while
empty boxes and signs have chased each
other down Kansas avenue in a cloud
of dust so dense that they were OBJ

The trustees were granted the
necessary authority by the special
referee to compromise a suit of the
Merchants National bank against the
trustees. The bank holds a note of
$4,000 with interest which is a claim
against the estate. and which it claims
was secured by 35 shares of the capital
stock of the bank. Twenty of these
shares are held by the bank and fif-
teen by the trustees. The capital
stock provides that it can not be trans
ferred on the books of the bank while
the record owner is indebted to the
bank, except by the banks consent.
The trustees contend that the provision
of the capital stock did not constitute
lien on the same. The bank agreed
to surrender it's claim against the es-
tate for $4,000 and interest and to pay
the trustees $3.50 in cash. The trus-
tees in turn were to surrender the So
shares to the bank. This compromise
has been effected.
