Sunf1ower Camp. Modern Woodmen,

Hudson Maxim Tells How to Bring
About Woman Suffrage.

New York, March 25.-Hudson
Maxim of smokeless powder fame,
told the members of the William
Lloyd Garrison Equal Suffrage asso-
citation how to get woman suffrage
without waste of noise yesterday.
Make it fashionable" said Mr.. Max
i'm. cit is the duty of every woman
to try to make woman suffrage FASH
ionable. and then victory will be as
sured."
Mr.. Maxim also threw in a good
word for the militant suffragists of
England. "Since that remote age"
said Mr.. Maxim, when our omniver-
GUS ancestors climbed down from
their abodes in the trees and rocks
and fought for place in their environ
ments, the good things of life have
been for those who fought hardest
for them.
''In England the women have be-
gun an actual warfare for their
rights. Let the rebellion spread until
the world is called to arms for the
one last, greatest fight for liberty
over barbarisn-the equality of wo-
man."

GET A CASE OF D|APEPS|N AND
RID YOURSELF OF INDIGESTION

ing in the stomach, Nausea, Debilitat-
ing Headaches Dizziness or Intestinal
gripping. This will all go, and, besides,
there will be no fermentation Of food
left over in the stomach to putrefy your
breath with nauseous doors.
Ask your Pharmacist to show you the
formula plainly printed on these 50-ceEt
cases; then you will readily understand
why stomach trouble or Indigestion
must vanish like snow before the blaz-
ing sun.
Diapepsin is a certain cure for all
your stomach misery. Each triangule
contains just the elements which a
strong, healthy stomach has, and has
proven by test to digest alone 5000
grains of food Diapepsin will take
hold Of your food and digest it just the
same as if your stomach wasn't there.
Actual prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist,
waiting for you whenever you decide
you would rather have a healthy stom-
ach and perfect Digestive system.
A 50-cent case is usually more than
sufficient to cure a case of Dyspepsia

Amateurs at the Majestic.

Percy Cunningham. in the guise of
a black-faced comedian, won the
prize in the amateur contest at the
Majestic last night. He did not even
have a close second. Cunningham is
one of the best singers who has made
his amateur debut in Topeka and he
handled himself well on the stage.
Especially good was he in telling
stories and getting off some jokes,
even though some of them were a
triffe ancient. There were two other
amateur acts on the bill. Elmer Glib
bons presented one of them. Mr..
Gibbons is not satisfied with playing
one musical instrument at a time. He
plays two, a guitar and a mouth
organ which is held in front Of his
face with a piece of wire apparatus.
The fourth-coming sounds are prob
ably supposed to be music, but-well
no proper characterization for them
can be thought of. He does some
limitations notably that of a railroad
train in action. This was so realistic
that many folks in the audience got
up and left in their evident endeavor
to get out Of the way Of the train
and give it a wide berth. The To-
peka Comedy Trio, three young men,
furnished the other number. They

While the offerings of state lands in

yet all been made, the offerings in the
southern and central parts make good
showing as to price of lands in those
portions of the state, when it is con-
sidared that the state land sold was raw

lin county thirty-nine tracts were dis
posed of at prices ranging from $50 to-.
s55 per acre, with an average of about
s42. The sales in Hanson county were
thirty-three tracts with selling prices
from 1872 TO $40. In Miner county four,
tracts were sold with prices from $35
TO $50 All acre. Seven tracts were
soId in Kingsbury county, at prices
from $35 to sS42 an acre /. Hutchinson
county lands went at from $40 to $50
an acre, and thirteen tracts were dis

Hot Springs, Va, July 20-Demo-
Gratis of many southern states are
writing to Judge William II. Taft,
declaring their purpose to vote for
him and to do whatever may be in
their power to secure his election.
Letters of this kind form one of the
most interesting features of Mr. Tafts

Gratis in Maryland. Kentucky. Ten
nessee, North Carolina and Georgia.
he has letters assuring him that II is
the belief of the writer's that those
states will give their electoral votes
to the Republican ticket in the com
ing election.
While Mr.. Taft reads the letters
with interest, he receives information
that there is hope of carrying Georgia
with feeling that on the part of the
writer, the wish is father to the
thought. Intense feelings against the
policies of Hoke Smith in that state
is looked upon as the foundation Of
the bitterness of Georgia Democrats
toward the election of Bryan. as they
look upon Bryan and Smith as repre-
senting the same ideas.
From Maryland especially Mr.. Taft
has large number of advtces from
the Democrats that they expect to
see the state go Republican and that
there will be many Democrat votes
to help carry it. Many of these
Democratic correspondents have de-
clared that the nomination of Mr.. Bry
an is doubly repugnant to them be-
cause they believed his defeat in two
campaigns had disposed of him as
candidate of the Democratic parry
and they believed there would be
a new leadership of the party to rep
resent what they regard as true
Democracy.
Mr.. Taft's mail is constantly in
creasing and this class of letters is
forming a considerable part of it.
While these expressions from south
ern Democrats are regarded as the
most interesting feature of the oppo-
sition to Mr.. Bryan within his own
party, there are many others from
Democrats In Northern States.
