of funds with which to enable it to be
put in effective operation on the other,

TOBACCO WAR ENDS.
Closing Scenes in Contest That Has
Lasted Two Years.

Cincinnati. o., Dec. 4-Pra ctically
the closing scene and transaction in
the great and bitterly fought burly to-
bacco war with the tobacco trust, dur
ing the past two years, was witnessed
here today, when representatives of in
dependent tobacco factories in all
parts of the country met to apportion
the tobacco secured by the indepen-
dent manufacturers association from
the Equity society. The quantity Sc
cured by the Independent manufacture
ers association was 25 per cent, or 90
million pounds, which will be divided
among the Independents.
1t is understood that when the work
of apportioning the tobacco is con-
cluded preliminary steps will be TAX
en- to build up and strengthen the in
dependent manufacturers association
and make of it a powerful organiza-
ton to resist any further encroach-
ments of the socalled tobacco trust on
the trade and business of the indie
pendent manufacturer. 1t is also I'M
derstood that the Independents when
the organization is finally completed,
will cooperate with the element of
tobacco planters which opposes the
formation of another equity pool for
the crop of 1909.

THE PUBLIC BENEFITED
Topeka People Greatly Interested in
the Generous Offer of Fred
A. Snow, Druggist.

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust
a man who is naturally honest. than
one who was honest only because he
had to be.
SHOWS drug store has a firmly es-
tablished reputation for square deal
ing and sterling honesty. When they
told the people that Rexall Remedies
are the purest and most dependable
remedies that it is possible for mod
ern science to produce, and that they
would tell the public exactly what
each one of these 500 remedies con-
tanned, and that they sold Rexall
Remedies their own personal
guarantee that they would give entire
satisfaction or the medicine would not
cost the user a single cent, they were
believed.
Ever since this announcement
Shows drug store has been crowded
by people buying RexaH Remedies;
all of which proves that Shows drug
store has the confidence of the people
and that honesty is the best policy
There is no "cure-alI'' among the
Rexall Remedies,-there are 500 diff
each human i'll, and each unquestion-
ably the best of it's kind
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are par
ticularly recommended for the
positive cure of stomach irritation in
digestion and dyspepsia They are
rich in Bismuth, Subnitrate Pepsin
and Carminatives, and are prepared
by a special process which perfects
and enchances the great curative
value of these weIl-known medicinal
agents. This remedy sells for 25c a
package. Everyone suffering from a
stomach disorder should try Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmuch as they
cost nothing if they do not satisfy
Shows drug store is certainly for
tunate in securing control of the sale
of these remedies, and everyone in
need of medicine is urged to in
vestigate and take advantage of their
frank and generous offer.

BIGGY IN DENVER.
Report That Police Chief Did Not
Commit Suicide

Denver, Dec. 4.-Policemen and de-
tectives of the Denver force have been
sent out to look for w. J. Buggy, chief
of police of San Francisco, who was
supposed to have committed suicide
last Monday night by jumping into the
bay from the patrol boat Patrol Chief
Armstrong received word that Buggy
was in Denver, and every effort is
being made to locate him.
Biggy was not the kind of a man to
commit suicide, say his friends and
fellow officers Instead of taking a
dive into the waters of San Francisco
bay he simply disa ppeared from sight,
and from persons whose identity has
rot yet been revealed comes the in
formation that he is in Denver.
Chief Buggy is six feet in height
and, according to Policeman Burkhart,
weighs about $50 pounds. He wears
a moustache and is of distinguished
appearance.

OHIO IS 1AFT'S.
Vorys Says Senatorial Situation Is in
His Control.

Hot Springs. Dec. A thorough can
vass of the Ohio political situation has
been made by President-elect Taft and
Arthur 1. Vorys who stopped here on
his way to Cincinnati from Washing
ton.
Mr.. Taft is taking no part in the sem
atorial affairs. He was told by his
former chief of staff that Chas. P.
Taft's control of the situation was at
this time most satisfactory. Mr.. Vorya
will take an active part in the cam
paign in behalf of the Cincinnati CAPT
talist.
Senator Foraker and Representative
Burton also are candidates
That the American-Japan pact will
have full weight and effect during the
administration of President-elect Taft
was indicated by him in the strongest
terms.
Not only did Judge Taft specially en-
dorse the understanding in question,
but added that he heartily favored
every means of maintaining friendly
and cordial relations between this
country and the Orient and that this
had always been his position.

.ELOPE WITH TWO,
Pretty Oakland Girl Drops Out
of Sight.
Two Men Disappear at the
Same Time.
EMEPARTLY FAILS
Watchful Parent Keeps One
Member at Home.
Would Have Made EIOpement a
SCHEMEPARTLY FAILS
Would Have Made EIOpement a
Double One.

Elopements are not uncommon in this
day and age of the world, but for two
men to elope with a pretty girl is I'M
common But such a stunt was pulled
off in Topeka last Tuesday morning,
while the ROSTERS we're making the first
| announcement of the approaching day.
The principals in the runaway were
Will Dixon, stenographer in the Of
fees of the Santa Fe passenger de-
partment, Al Patch, a barber employed
at the Model barber shop at 815 Kansas
avenue. and the girl, Gertie Streeter, a
pretty miss of Oakland, who is twenty
years of age. To friends in whom the
three young people confided comes the
news of the elopement, but where the
trio has gone is unknown. or at least
those who know of the affair are not
communicative.
That another girl did not join the
runaways, was because of an alert par
ent who scented something unusual and
took steps to prevent his daughter leav-
ing home. This young lady lived on
Taylor street but her name could not
be learned from friends who knew of
the plot.
According to the arrangements Dixon
and Miss Streeter were to be married
were to join hands. Just what Patch
intends to do now could not be ascer-
tanned, but it is supposed that he will
make his whereabouts known to his
fiancee and that she will follow soon,
as soon as parental suspicion can be
overcome.
The two young men in the case left
town under a cloud. Dixon jumped a
board bill and left with several
months room rent unpaid. All his
landlady found in his room when she
learned of her tenants departure was
an empty trunk, which was unfit for
more than kindling wood. Several of
his friends claim that he owed them
money Patch left his financial af-
fairs in even worse condition. He owes
local diamond dealer for a diamond
ring which he purchased few days
ago on the installment plan. His
friends have some good sized sums
coming to them for money that has
been loaned to him from time to time.
His board bill also was several weeks
in arrears.
Gertie Streeter's father is a laborer
who lives at 372 Michigan avenue, in
Oakland. Until the Oakland wooden
mills shut down, Miss Streeter was
employed as burler.
The father of the girl is anxious for
her apprehension, and is taking steps
to trace her and learn her where
abouts. On account of the financial
standing of the men in the case, it is
not thought that the trio can remain
in a place unknown to the police au-
thorities for very long time.

L. T. Cooper. the young man who
has created such a sensation in Brook
Ign with his new theory regarding the
human stomach, is now in New York
explaining his ideas to the public.
Cooper says that ninety per cent of
all i'll health is due to stomach trouble,
and claims to prove this with his medi-
cine. In speaking of his theory dur
ing an interview Thursday afternoon
he said: practically all the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomach conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race was
closer to nature and men and women
worked out of doors all day, the tired,
droopy, half-sick people that are now
so common did not exist. There was
sickness, but it was only temporary.
There was little of this constant half
sick condition with which so many are
afflicted.
