DEL TRAVIS IS HERE.
State Game Warden Says Pheasants
Are Becoming Common.

= Game Warden Del Travis from Pratt,
Kan, is in town today. He says that
the recent high water in eastern Kan
sas has probably killed off a good many
of the pheasants which were purchas-
ed by the state and turned loose in the
hope that they would multiply.
In western Kansas, and in counties
where the conditions have been good"
says Mr.. Travis, the pheasants have
done splendidly, and are increasing very
rapidly. In some counties they are be-
coming quite common. The high water
in the east, however, has no doubt been
hard on a good many of the BIRDS
Mr.. Travis will on October l COM
mence the distribution of 100000 small
black bass and croppie raised at the
state fish hatchery. He will purchase
&c. 600 more from other hatcheries, max
ing total distribution this year OF
100000 fish for the purpose of stocking
Kansas streams.
Last year the total number distribu-
ted was about $4,000. The number rails
ed by the state this year in its own
hatcheries is larger than ever before.

ers, which was submitted to the con-
vention today shows that the organic

penditures of s993.S35. 1t shows total

lions were made to the defense funit
to the amount of $79,451.
Sixty-six new locals were organized
during the year and 20 either disband-
ed or affiliated with some other union.
James Kerwin, who was acting secre-
tary-treasurer, while Haywood was in

noon He recommended that officers of
local unions give bond through the par
ent organization instead of bonding
companies and that all unions secure
depository bonds before depositinS

CHESS TOURNAMENT OPENS.
Major Harvey Offers to Play All
Corners.

The two-day chess tournament
which opened at the Y. NJ. c. A. this
afternoon, promises to be one of the
thrilling events of the season. Per-
sons who have watched chess game
can understand the, wild enthusiasm
which will result from game be-
tween John E. Frost and Major A. M.
Harvey not to mention a number of
other games on the side.
Among those who will assemble to
fight it out this afternoon are H W.
Rhea of Loring, s. T. True of Oska-
loosa. o. c. Brett of Humboldt, and
Private Harry Grand, Company A,
Thirteenth infantry. of Leavenworth.
A reporter tried to get Grand on the
long distance this morning to warn
him, so that he might bring his side
arms.
Major Harvey will attempt to show
off by playing all corners one game
each, giving them the Ruy Lopez or
queens gambit opening. A few of the
local chess fans are predicting that
the major will find the job even more
strenuous than running for the legis-
lature with no opposition.
The prizes which will be awarded
at the close of the tournament, consist
of sets of chessmen, books on the sub
ject of chess. and pocket chess boards
suitable to the use of the chess cranks
who would like to play a game as they
ride down town in the morning.

illness of ten days in the homeopathic
hospital, this city, Mrs. Clifford w.
Hartridge, wife of the New York at
torney, who defended Harry K. Thaw,
died Monday from cerebro-spinal mem
nights. That same evening the BODY
was shipped to Canton, n. Y" the
home OF her parents. The superintend-
ent of the institution says she was
brought there under another name.
Only after death was her identity made
known to the superintendent. She was
visited almost daily by her mother and
brother. who were with her when She
died. ..-
Dr. u. T. Miller, who attended Mrs.
Hartridge, refuses to talk about the
case.
While much mystery surrounds the
illness of Mrs. Hartridge. her death
clears up the mystery of her disap-
pearance from New York, during the
latter part of the Thaw trial. Her
relatives refused to discuss her disap-
pearance and friends said at the time
her married life was happy. The first
publicity of her disappearance follow
ed a report to the New York police on
October 5. 1t was at that time that
Mrs. Hartridge had developed a ner-

Reducing Fat on a Full Meal

If you want to reduce your flesh pound
day, say, and still are averse to exercis-
ing or cutting down your meals-from to
/ or II of 1-you can manage it. Ask your
druggist for a package of Marmola Pre-
scription tablets; they cost but a trifle (an
effective quantity being obtainable for on
ly 80 cents), and take 1 tablet after meals
and at bedtime. That is all. Just eat
when and what you please, leave exercis-
ing to the athletes, take your convenient
little tablet faithfully and that flabby
flesh will soon disappear-possibly at the
rate OF pound or more a day.
These tablets are licensed as harmless
and effective by the Marmola CO.. Detroit

same ingredients as the famous Marmola
