The Story Of a Medicine.

Its name-UGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed wGolden Medical Discovery" for
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousneSS and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever sin&e has bNen, without particle
of alcohol in its maRe-rp.

Scammon, Kan, Nov. 1T.-Through
a tip given them by publication that
the paddock order had been issued, the
proprietors of the thirst quenching
establishments of Scammon were en-
abled to depart with their Illicit goods
before the arrival of the Sheriff sery-
ing the seizure and paddock warrants.
AS a result OF this condition only
empty buildings greeted the officer

brief things are going to continue on

Heretofore when attempts have
been made to place the lid on the sale
of intoxicats. the proprietors simply
have closed the front door and obliged
their patrons to make their entrance

present time things are at the very eX-
treme, nothing remains in the one
time occupied buildings to quench the
desire of the thirsty.

THE TROUBLES OF YOST.
The Great Coach Had Poor Material
This Year.

Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. H. Mich
igan rooters left the field with feel
ing that the team had been the hard
est working bunch. ever placed under
the Yost regime, For weeks. Yost has
turned his whole energy to the crucial
contest of Saturday, and it is known
here that he has never had1more dis
coufaging setbacks than have been
hsaped upon him this year. From
the first he has been Obliged to work
with inexperienced men, has lost two
star tfullbacks because Of injuries and
had dhree of his stars kept out of the
game by f'cons' until after the sea-
son was well underway. And to top
all ST this off, the Michigan coach
has been Obliged to make this week
some of the most sensational shifts
evera made before a big game.
The men who opposed the Quak-
ers have had less individual exper-
fence than any team since the advent
of Yost Capt. Schulz is the one ex-
ception. The title of veteran for the
other five men that have been so
named is really considered a mis-
homer. Davidson, for instance, has
never been on the gridiron more than
six weeks since he has been in Mich
igan. Two years ago he was taken to
Philadelphia to play guard after four
dayss' Of experience. He was not out
at all last year, and did not get out
this fall until late in the season.
Casey. Embs and Wasmund have each
played a year or less before this fall.
Watkins played about two weeks last

sHOME MADE WHISKY.
Wichita Chief of Police Had Samples

Wichita. Kan, Nov. 17.-Chief of Po-
lice Emery has returned from Topeka
where he spent a day in conference
with DIR. Crumbine. state chemist, At
torney General Jackson and federal Of
f1cials in relation to whisky sold in
Wichita.
Mr.. Emery took many samples of
whisky to be examined and analysed.
The whisky he secured during raids on
ers who were arrested and who seemed
stupefied as we'll as drunk.
Mr.. Emery will attempt to prove that
the whisky sold by some of the joint
keepers was homemade" and that it
was not only injurious, but poisonous.
Provided this can be accomplished,
Mr.. Emery will turn his case over to
the federal authorities with recommen-
dations that several persons charged
with operating joints here be also
charged with the illegal manufacture
A recipe found at the joint at 314
East Douglas avenue, said to have been
operated by Lee Brown and George
Kaufman together with some of the
whisky, Mr.. Emery turned over to DR..
Crumbine.
The. recipe calls for: Fluid extract of
uuillaya, /. dram; fluid extract of can
nabis Indica, 2 drains; tincture of
Guiana pepper, ounces: acetic ether,

RandeIs, the Aggie FuIlback.

| This annual game between the two
| institutions is bitter fought one. For
| the past four years the Aggies have
| been one of the hardest teams for
Washburn to defeat. In 1904 WASH
burn won by a score of Sc to O. But
since that time the two teams have
been more evenly matched. In 1905
the score was IL to for Washburn.
A year later Washburn won by a single
point, the score being to A. Last
season with the champion Washburn
team, the score was only to O.
This season the game promises to
be about as holly contested. The Ag-
gies have a strong team as usual. Last
Saturday they downed the strong Okla
home Agricultural college team by a
score of 40 to 10. Earlier in the sea-
son they were defeated by Kansas by
a score of IL to 6. in a game which
many thought the Aggies should have
won. This is the only Kansas team
this season which has been able to
score on K. U.
The Washburn team will be in good
trim to battle with the Aggies. AL
though the season has been a dis
astrous one for the Blue thus far. the
Washburn team is no weakling. Kan
sas defeated Washburn % to 0 while
last Saturday the Kansans downed the
Nebraska team 20 to 5, in a game
which was just about as one sided as
the WaShburn contest. The Drake
team which defeated Washburn by
score of to 0, defeated Iowa Saturday
by score of II to S. These games
show that Washburn is still in a class
with the strong elevens of the Nilsson
valley despite the fact that it is an off
season for the Blue.
AS far as the dope goes it looks like
a battle royal between the elevens
coached by Weede and Ahearn. Both
teams will put in the week in good
hard work. Neither team has a hos
pital list at the present time and both
will be in the pink OF condition. The
Washburn team after the hard game
with Paramount took a rest Saturday
and Sunday. They start tonight with
a hard weeks work and hope to make
good with the football fans of the town
despite the recent defeats. The Aggies

Are Almost Identical Except
Last Section.
Kansas News of Interest to
Everybody.

Coffeyville, Nov. 1.-THE council met
in adjourned session and passed new
Sunday closing law. The new ordi-
nance follows the state law very closely
in fact the first four sections of the
ordinance are identically the same as
the state law. The council was almost
unanimous upon the question. The
vote stood in favor of its passage to
1 against. Dale opposing it,
In the fifth section, which is the sec
ton of exceptions, there are some
changes that are not in the state law
Here are the exceptions: Livery
stables drug stores, news stands, no.
tells. restaurants, candy stands, fruit
stands, street car lines, steam cars, ice
men, meat markets (until 10 a. m. for
the sale of fresh meat and fresh fish
only, moral picture shows and thea
tiers. hack, bus and cab lines and paid
choirs and orchestras in churches.
The ordinance was placed upon its
three readings last night and was
passed. An ordinance striking out the
"other amusements'' from section IA,
ordinance 2, was passed also.
Mayor Skinner will sign the ordi-
nance. When asked as to whether or
not he would veto the Sunday closing
ordinance, he said: II have always
been, and viii always be, opposed to
Sunday shows. 1 do not believe that
they are right. At the same time
raeliZe that for me to veto TINS ordl-
nance after of the 10 councilmen
voted in favor of it, would, believe,
cause dissension in the council, which
would result in antagonism and Which
would not be for the best interests OF
the city.
Il do not want to do anything that
will hurt the interests of this city. l
have explained my position on the mat
ter and told the cOuncilmen that l ex-
pected to enforce either the old Sunday
closing law or the one that was before
the council, if the council saw fit to
pass it. At the same time expect to

the best interests of the city demanded

night, and / am willing to let the ma

SALINE COUNTY CORN CROP.
Largest This Year in History OF the
.- -s- County.

Salina, Kan, Nov. 17.-Saline coun-
ty will probably have the largest yield
of corn this year in the history of the
county and the price for the crop will
be the highest ever known in a fair
crop year since the country became
well settled. The crop for this season
has a value of one and one-half mil
lion dollars.
The number of acres planted to corn
in the county for the years 1908 as re-
turned by the trustees reports was
1862. Several farmers living in the
west half of the county have made an
estimate of the yield in that portion of
the county. The average of the esti-
mates given is so bushels per acre.
The farmers in the east half of the
county say they have the best yield of
corn this season that they ever had.
The acreage is also much larger in
the east half of the county than in the
west. They place the yield in this por-
ton at from SO to as bushels per acre.
1t is the Judgment of some of the best
farmers of this vicinity that the entire
acreage of the county will yield SO
bushels per acre
AT this rate the entire yield of Sa-
els. This corn is now worth so cents
per bushel and its total value is placed
at slab, 100. This is the largest agri-
cultural crop, raised n the county. The
value of the wheat crop is placed at
S1,3O0,000. The value of both will
reach nearly three million this season,

WAS A HARD BATTLE.
Paramount Team Stiff and Sore From
Game With Washburn.

Wichita, Kan. Nov. 1.-THE Fair
tinct disappointment to the supporters
of the Wichita team that they are feel
ing far from optimistic over the out
come of the Oklahoma game, which is
played here Friday
The team seems to have gone stale
and in the game with Washburn, while
they showed spurts of real football
they played a slow and sleepy game
Part of this was doubtless due to in
juries. Cox, captain and quarterback
had severely sprained shoulder, which
made his usually clever handling OF
the forward pass very slew and mac
curate. Bates, F'airmount's fullback
was not playing in form owing to q
sprained ankle. He was actually out
punted by Hope of Washburn, and
Hopes punts did not average 30 yards
White who has been playing such q
speedy game, especially in running II
a broken field, was always smothereo
before he could get away and many
times before he could get the ball.
The whole team is stiff and sore af-
ter the grueling contest with Washburn
and some of the men will not be able
to be out for practice for a few days
and two may not be in the Oklahoma
game. The supposedly invulnerable
Paramount line was punctured agar
and again for big gains and actually
allowed several punts to be blocked. II
fact one of Washburn's touchdowns
came when McVey picked up a block
ed punt and placed it between the goa

SLEEPS AS THOUGH CHLORO=
FORMED EVERY NIGHT
Farmer Takes His Rest In Contrary Manner To
Most City People

L. T. Cooper, who is explaining his
theory and medicine to the public, is
meeting more people each day and
seems to be attracting as much atten-
ton here as was reported from other
cities before he arrived in New York.
Cooper's theory is that modern all
ments are largely due to stomach trou-
BILE. He claims his preparation will
regulate the digestive organs in six
weeks. In explaining his theory, when
interviewed Wednesday afternoon, he
said: about three out of five people
who come to ask about my medicine
say. My nerves are all unstrung,' or,
Il am Very nervous or I anon the
verge of nervous prostration.' All this
nervous trouble is due to just one
thing-imperfect digestion.
did you ever hear of a farmer with
nervous prostration? I never did. The
farmer gets up early. Out he goes into
that would lay most people up for
week. At noon the dinner-horn blows.
He has worked his body so hard that
his stomach is just shouting for food,
and you can bet it gets it. The amount
bread, pie, milk, etc. that he puts away
is a sight to see. Back he goes to the
fields. More hard work in the fresh air
and sunshine. Home at night with the
same enormous appetite. A big sup
per, and then he sleeps as though
night. Any nervous prostration for
him? Well, I guess not. He doesn't
feel dull and languid all day. He doesn't
have a coated tongue and a bad taste

have a hard week ahead and will be
on edge for this game, which to the
-Aggies is one OF the red letter dates on
their football calendar.
There will be a big crowd in To-
peka for the game. Six or eight hun
dred will attend from Manhattan and
will come with a band and prepared
to root for their heroes. The Rock
Island will run a special train from
Manhattan for the game, having COM
pleted arrangements with the athletic
management aof the school. The
Union Pacific has also promised to run
a special train, without any guarantee.
So great is the interest in the game in
Manhattan that this road is willing to
take a chance on getting enough bust
ness to pay for the train.

nature intended him to live, and his

his digestion is perfect. Whenever a
man is digesting his food he's a well
man. But until the digestive organs
are in perfect condition, good health

who have recently stated that Cooper
had convinced them his medicines
would do what he claims is Mrs. NJ E.
Bell, of Hewlett, L. l., who, when seen
about the matter said: For the past
four years 1 have been i'll with catarrh
of the stomach. My feet and ankles
have been so badly swollen that 1
could not walk any distance. L have
tried in every way to find something
that would benefit me. but I had begun
to think that it was hopeless, as 1 was
getting slowly worse.
Thee weeks ago last Saturday I
started taking this Cooper medicine as
1 had been hearing a lot about it from
friends. Within a week all swelling
had left my feet and ankles, and I
could walk again as I did four years
ago. My Improvement in every way
is more than dared hope. / have no
