WILL ARREST ROBINSON.
Accused of NIfsIabeling His Diphtheria
Cure.

G. c. Robinson, a Topeka man &C
cused of selling an alleged cure for
diphtheria, is to be arrested today on
complaint of the state pure drug in
spectors. The charge against Robinson
will be mislabelling and adulterat1on.
Robinson has been peddling his
diphtheria cure in Topeka for some
years He calls it G. c. C., which
stands for Golden Chemical Compound
The physicians of the city have often
complained of his actions in selling his
medicines to those critically Ill with
diphtheria. but there seemed to be no
way to interfere with his business. The
pure drug authorities found that ne
was labelling his medicine, which has
been on sale in Topeka drug stores, a
specific" for diphtheria. The charge Is
also made that the medicine is adulter-
ated because it contains substances
which render it inferior In quaIlty 10
what is processes to. be. Physicians
say that the drug is of little recognized
value as cure for diphtherla.
A chemical examination made OF the
drug shows it to be composed almost
entirely of what is described in the
u C. Pharmacopoeia as Monselfs solu-
ton of sulphate of iron. This consists
of iron treated with sulphur1c acid
The medical books say that the sub
stance is astringent ana mas some
properties as a germicide, and is some
times used for swabbing out throats OF
those afflicted with diphtheria, etc. But
Robinson not only used 1T for SWabblng
but recommended that 1t be taken IN
ternally.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago. Nov. 27.-WHEAT-Buying by
shorts caused a mild rally in the local
wheat market today following slight
weakness at the opening when prices were
a shade to A@D5sc below the previous close.
The early weakness was due to lower ca
bleS and to a continued free movement of
wheat in this country. December, which
opened at $1.O31s to $1.03A, advanced to
$1.03A early in the session. Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 1854
cars.
The market continued firm the remain
der of the day, the high point for Decem-
Der being reached at $104s. Bullish ad-
vices from the northwest where receipts
were predicted to be on ten decrease form
closed firm. December up A0ssc at S1.O3s4
CORN-Corn was easy owing to mod
crate sales of the May delivery by cash
houses. Weather was favorable for the
movement and the arrivals today were
fairly liberal. December opened Ac to
Ac lower at sc to 63Ac, and for a time
held within that range.
A weaker tone developed later in the
day oW1ngg to reports of larger offerings
in the country. December sold off to 655sc.
The market closed weak with December
down 9sc at 6224c.

III. j. Bone of Topeka and Other Kan
sans Invest in Colorado Land.

Denver, Nov. 27.@The Dennis Sulli-
van ranch of 5000 acres. 80 miles north
of Denver, has been sold to a syndicate
OF Kansas capitalists. headed by H. ].

The consideration was in the neighbor-
hood of $500, 900.

the market while he was in Denver
prosecuting the Lost Bullion mining
promoters on behalf of the government.
He succeeded in interesting others in
the scheme, with the result that after
a delay necessary to Investigate the
water rights, the deeds We're passed.
The Sullivan ranch is considered one
of the best in Colorado. With the ex-
ception of 900 acres it has plenty of
water. Its priority rights. are among
the oldest in the state. Three thousand
acres are under cultivation. ---.-4.-.
lone, on the Union Pacific, is the
nearest railroad point at the present
time, but the Denver, Laramie &
Northwestern has four miles graded
through the ranch.
Lying between Fort Lupton and
Platteville. the new owners do not be-
lieve it will be difficult to colonize the
tract.

left to the same place a moment later
AS close quarters Papke upper-cut
with right to face and followed with
left to the same place. Ketchel then
sent u hard right to the jaw and
they clinched for about half a minute

man but Papke more than evened

FRENCRMAN WON.
But He Drove an Italian Fiat Car at
Savannah.

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 81. Louis
Wagner, a Frenchman, driving the
Italian Fiat car No IA. won the
grand prize automobile race OF 4OZ

Victor Hemery, a Frenchman, drlV-
ing the German Benz car No. 8, was
second; time, 6 hours IL minutes "a
seconds. Felice Navarro. 1talan'
driving an Italian Fiat NO. 8. was
third; time, 6 hours 8 minutes ~ sec
onds.
The race lay between the cars
which finished first. second and third
from almost the very start. Navarro
had the lead during the last lOo
miles, but met with a mishap on the
last lap and was delayed long
finish was the closest and most ex-
citing in the history of automobile
road racing, the winner being in
doubt until the official time was an
nounced.
Wagner won the Vanderbilt cup
race in 1906, and was one OF the
favories in the betting for todays
race. Hemery was, in fact. the hrst
choice, but Wagner known as
steady and daring driver was favored
by many of the, experts.
The race was remarkably free from
serious accidents, the driver most
seriously injured being Erie of the
Benz car No. 10, which was thrown
on the White Bluff road, who suffered
a broken nose and broken jaw.
Wagner's average time was 6555
miles an hour This establishes new
American record.

CANAL DYNAMITED
BOATS AND LAUNCHES STRAND
ED AT EXAMINATION, ILL.
MILLIONS OF FISH REPORTED DEAD
Result of Fight Between Farmers
Over Repairing B~ridges--Coun-
try Is Flooded.

Joliet, Ill.-At an early hour
Wednesday morning unknown par
ties dynamited the west bank OF
the Illinois and Michigan canal at
Channahon, II miles southwest of
Joliet, making a breach 100 feet long
through which the waters Of the canal
poured, flooding the adjacent farm
lands and running into the Dupage
river, a half miles away.
AS a result Of this, the section from
Jackson street dam. in Joliet, to Chan
nahon dam, 20 miles below, was emp
tied of water.
Nearly 20 canal boats, launches and
pleasure boats are stranded in the
mud and navigation is completely tied
up. The oat mills of the Great West
ern Cereal Company at Joliet, which
depended on the canal water for pow
er, have been compelled to close down,
throwing nearly 100 men out of en-
ployment.
Millions of fish are lying in the dry
canal bed and the decaying Of these
has added to the danger Of the situa-
ton.
