No Sectional Feeling.

The construction of this building on
North Front street mainly by capital
from the south half of the city shows
that there is no such thing as sectional
feeling in the south half of the city,
and it ought to operate to dispel such
a feeling in the north half of the

Watching A Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.

Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.
The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice
but 1t was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation of our exact knowledge of
IT'S composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, 10
Sated at an obscure military post in
Mlchlgan while it was yet territory,
ana was called upon to treat a gun
shot wound of the stomach in a Cana
dian oyaseur-Alexis st. Martin. When
the wound healed a permanent opening
was left by means of which food could
be placed in the stomach and gastric
juice taken from it,
Beaumont made scientific experiments
with his crude means and wrote a book
which today is recognized among the
classics of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine knows
what the stomach does with food and
what food does to the stomach.
Sicence also knows what the gastric
juices are and how to make them best
for the system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks to
the poor army surgeon and Alexis St.
Martin, give man a means of digesting
food, replenishing the exhausted juices,
soothing the nerves and correcting dys-
peptic conditions of the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are nat
ural fruit and vegetable essences re-
duced in concentrated form and by tre-
mendous power compressed into a tab

Attorney General Jackson has gone
to Washington, D. c., to represent the
state in the case before the L. S. su-
preme court in which the state of
Kansas seeks to oust from the state
those two corporations, the Western
Union Telegraph Co, and the Pullman
Car Co., for non-payment of charter
fees. The case will come up for trial
tomorrow. s>.+@e
In this case the state applied to the
state supreme court for custer against
these two corporations for nOn-pay-
ment of their charter fees in the sum
total of about $40, 900 apiece and won
the suit. The corporations appealed
to the United States court. If the
state wins it's case these charter fees
under the new law of 1907 will
amount to over 100000. This is a
most important case, as it will decide
as to states right to collect charter
fees in full from foreign corporations.
The June docket of the supreme
court, usually set for trial June to

ATTENDANCE FELL OFF.
Fewer People Attended Dog Show
Than Last Year.

Regardless of the fact that the an
nuaI show of the Topeka Kennel club,
just closed at the Auditorium, was bet
ter than it has ever been before, inter
est in the show seems to have fallen
off. The attendance of last week s
show was 1,500 less than that of the
1908 show according to the incom-
plete reports of Treasurer J. G. Har-
mon.
But this will not stop u.s." said Mr.
Harmon today. I'VE will have another
show next year, and it will be better
than ever. We will not stop on ac-
count of the box office failure. We had
one bad night, which may account for
some of the shortage
While the business end of the show
was weak, it was no fault of the man
agement of the show. A larger mum ber
of entries and a higher grade of dogs
We're shown this time than ever before
Another thing in favor of the Kennel
club and the management was, that
there were no kicks" made by exhib-
itOrs. The judging was perfectly sat
isfactory to all.
Tommy Herren, secretary of the
club and manager of the show, worked
like a beaver to make the show a sue
cess, and succeeded. He could not force
the people to attend the show, but he
furnished an exhibition of the highest
order. The club voiced its appreciation
of Mr.. Herren's efforts by presenting
him a valuable diamond-studded watch
charm bearing the engraved inscrip-
tion:

his friends in the T. K. c.
The attendance was light" said
Tommy today, land 1 cannot under

people from out of town than we have
on former occasions, and the show has

Professor Lindermann was we'll
pleased with the show, and said he was
coming back again. This gentleman is
not only a help to any dog show be-
cause he has high grade dogs to ex-
in affairs, and lends his experience and
ability. When he came in here, he
took off his coat and helped me to ar
range things to the best advantage. He
made host of friends, regardless of
the fact that his dogs carried off some
of the highest prizes. His big st. Ber-
nard easily captured the cup for the
best dog, any class, in the show, and
his little Daschhund got the prize for
the best female any class in the show
He is a rich man, and good dogs are his
hobby. He loves dogs, and gives his
time to them. Enough cannot be said
in favor of this kindly old gentleman
from Colorado.
Il make the statement that our an
nuaI show is getting into the first class
for several reasons, among them the
fact that exhibitors who do not patron
ize the cheap exhibits were with us this
time"

Democrats Pledge Themselves to Vote
With Leader and Insurgents.

Washington, March 15.-One hum
dred and forty-six Democratic mem
bers of the house of representatives
today bound themselves to support
Champ Clark, of Missouri, in his fight
on the rules of the house. This ac-

The resolution adopted by the
Democratic caucus was that offered by
Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama and in effect binds the mem

Clark in his efforts to procure the
adoption of the plan agreed upon by
the Democratic leaders and the in

opposition to the resolution was that
of the five Georgia representatives.
An amendment offered by Mr..

HUNTED POLAR BEAR.
Williams Keyes, Who Visited in To-
peka, Had Exciting Experience.

Mrs. j. Huey of 514 Tyler street,
was pleasantly surprised Saturday
evening by the arrival of her nephew,
Mr.. William Keyes, whom she had not
seen for twenty years. Mr.. Keyes has
had most eventful life, having spent
twenty-six months in Siberia with an
expedition formed for the purpose of
polar bear hunting and gold search
ing and headed by ex-United States
Senators Emery and Corrigan. His
tales of adventure, hair-breadth es-
capes, narration of the everyday life
of the Esquimaux, spearing whales
and killing bears, were interesting and
held spellbound a number of visitors
who were fortunate enough to hear
them. McCIure's magazine will pub
lish, soon as ready, a series of
articles which Mr.. Keyes is now pre-
pairing. Mr.. Keyes brought back with
him a number of curios, among
which is a rare. piece of ivory which
one of the prominent universities of
the United States is endeavoring to
secufe. Mr.. Keyes was the only one
of the party returning alive, and the
bodies of Senators Emery and Corri-
gan are buried in the far north
little past thirty years of age,
of medium stature and wiry physique,
Mr. Keyes would not impress one as a
man who would willingly seek adven-
ture until he begins to talk, and then
his sparkling eyes and the enthusi-
asm with which he relates the dan
gers encountered in the Land of the
Midnight Sun leave no doubt that he
enjoyed it all. He is also an inventor
of two automobile attachments which
he has had patented and will soon
mace before the interested public. He
returned to Kansas City last evening
and upon his next visit will bring
copies of an Esquimaux paper which
is the only annual paper published in
the world.

The fact that the legislature of
1909 failed to make any appropriation
for the Kansas state fair was a hard
siam on the Kansas State Fair asso-
citation, but will not deter the asso-
citation from holding a fair-and the
fair will be held at Topeka
Mr. H A. Heath of the board of di-
rectors, who has taken an active in
terest in state fair business, said to-
day:
throughout the state, Topeka will go
ahead and hold state wide fair and
hang up premiums aggregating a. sum
equal to the premiums offered by the
Nebraska state fair at Lincoln, and
Topeka will hold its place in the state
fair circuit Immediately following
Lincoln.

r T. Kreipe, secretary of the State
Fair association, said:
I'VE have the best prospects for d
state fair we have ever had. In the
first place. the state fair circuit opens
al Des Moines, and the next place is

Was Vetoed.

IN THE SCHOOL FUND.
Item Provided for Reimburse
ment for Bad Investments.
Atfornnv General jackson Goes
General Jackson Goes
to Washington for State.

In the exercise of his power of the
veto Governor Stubbs reversed himself,
or his secretary, John Dawson, which
ever you please, in the item he struck
from the miscellaneous appropriation
bill relating to the reimbursement of
the permanent school fund in the sum
of $21,750 from the general fund to pay
off the deficit resulting from worthless
investments from the said school fund.
John Dawson, the governors secre-
tary, drew up a bill which provided for
the payment of this deficit in the school
fund This bill was passed upon by the
claims and accounts committee and by
the house and senate without one dis
senting vote. Then it was stricken
from the appropriation bill by the gov
ernor for what purpose no one knows
but himself.
The constitution requires that the
permanent school fund shall not be
diminished one cent for any purpose
whatever nor under any conditions, SO
when $21, $50 was lost out of this fund
by worthless investments in some OF
the western counties many years ago
the amount had to be carried by the
treasurer in his books like so much
Junk and besides it makes a false
showing. The plan was to make good
this deficit out of the general fund and
square the books, and the bill prepared
by Dawson accomplished this result as
fOIlOWS. Anu lHG Sldl6 treasurer IL
hereby authorized to reimburse the
permanent school fund on account of
worthless investments $21.7 $50; and the
state treasurer is hereby authorized to
cancel the said bonds and coupons be-
longing thereto
This would have enabled the state
treasurer to balance his books by pay
ing for these worthless school fund in
vestments out of the general fund. The
legislature gave him power to do so,
and thus balance his books. but the
governor took away that power by his
veto of that particular item in the
miscellaneous appropriation bill.
In another item in the same bill the
governor passed favorably upon a claim
reimbursing the endowment fund of the
State Agricultural college in the sum
of So. S76 which deficit occurred as
the result of a compromise, and which
appropriation it was almost exactly a
parallel with the school fund matter

VIII Vote Friday on the Acceptance of
Carnegie Gift.

Lyons, Kan, March 15.-The people
or this city Will vote Friday on a
proposition to accept the sum of $40
900 from Andrew Carnegie for the
construction Of a public library and
for the maintenance of the same.
There is considerable opposition to
the proposition because of the fact
that it will increase the taxes. The
friends of the library, however, are
doing effective work, and there is now
little or no doubt that the people
will vote in favor of the library.

At the meeting of the state
entom illogical commission held last
Saturday evening to consider a plan
for carrying out the instructions of
the legislature to exterminate the San
Jose scale, for which the sum of
$4,000 was appropriated, it was de-
cided that it was too late now to buy
and receive machinery with which to
spray the fruit trees and thus protect
them from the ravages of this dreaded
scale this year. In order to be effec-
tive the trees must be sprayed before
the buds burst in the spring and the
leaves come out.
The commission will at once take
steps to survey the fruit tree districts
and locate the trees Infected and burn
them. Next winter, after the leaves
have fallen from the trees the COM
mission will begin the work of spray
ing them and thus hopes to in a large
measure exterminate the scale ond
it's ravages on the trees. There was
quite a fight on this San Jose scale bill
in the last legislature and the appro-
priation was cut from $4,000 for
three years to $4,000.

of all actual resources from each fund.
The treasurer of q. corporation could
make the proper. transfers to make the
balance, but the treasurer of the state
of Kansas must have authority by law
of the legislature to balance a deficit
of the school fund which the constitu-
ton requires shall not be diminished -
Only a transfer from the general fund
of the amount of the deficit can square
the books. The supreme court ruled a
short time ago on the worth1essness of
these investments of certain school
funds in the Lawrence case.

bills in which an error crept in was in
the items which appropriated $50 each

VICTORY is WON BY FORAKER
IN HIS FIGHT FOR DlSGRACED
NEGRO SOLDIERS.
Senate Passes a Bill to Restore Their
Rights and Roosevelt Is Certain
to Sign the Measure.

So far as the United States Senate
is concerned, the Brownsville affair
became a closed incident early this
evening.
By vote of Sc to 26 the Aldrich
substitute, so called, was passed, all
the affirmative votes being Republi-
can and all the negative being Demo
cratic The Aldrich bill is somewhat
of compromise between the bill in
tToduced by Senator Foraker, of Ohio,
and that of Senator Warner, Of Mis-
souri,, that represents the Administra-
tion view of the character of the leg
islation that ought to be enacted.
The Aldrich measure, however, en-
bodies the salient principles of the
Foraker BILL which was that the Ne
gro troops discharged by the Presi-
dent without honor on account Of the
shooting up of the Texas town in
August, 1906, should not be required
to establish their innocence Of their
participation in the affray before rein
stated in the army.
The bill provides for Court of In
quiry consisting of five officers, to be
appointed by the Secretary Of War,
to investigate any charges that might
be brought against members Of the
dismissed battalion, and report with
in a year upon their eligibility for re-
instatement.
1t contains no requirement that the
men should first prove their inno-
'cence, but virtually puts it up to the
Government to establish their guilt;
otherwise they are to be restored to
the army rolls, given their pay for the
period they have been out Of the
army, and invested with the civil
rights of which they were deprived
by the Presidents order.
Victory for Foraker.
This is a substantial victory for
Senator Foraker who has been con-
tending for more than two years for
the maintenance of the old principle
of Jurisprudence thar the discharged
soldiers should be regarded as inno-
cent until proved guilty.
It is expected that the Aldrich bill
will pass the House before the end
of the session, and inasmuch as the
President was consulted by the SEN
ator from Rhode Island before he In
troduced the measure and acquiesced
in its provisions, he will sign 1t be-
fore his term expires.

LABoRER UNEARTHs $50 COLI
PIECE,

One of the laborers engaged in ex-
cavating for the new building of the
Union Bank & Trust Company found
a 500 gold piece yesterday afternoon
The find created much excitement
among the crew, and very slow prog
ress was made with the work for the
rest of the day as every workman in
sisted in carefully examining every
shovelful of dirt thrown out.
The old building that occupied this
site had been used as a banking house
for the past fifty years or more and
its old time vault had been the stor-
age place of many thousands of dol
lars and valuable stocks and bonds.
The place was once the banking house
of the late Mr. Thomas Marr and later
it was occupied by the lands Bank
ing Company.

niece found was dropped by some one

reason? The only answer it seems
plausible to make would be 'Resur-
rection Needed"
The National Negro Business
League meets in Louisville, KY. The
citizens here, and particularly the
merchants, entertain a very friendly
feeling toward the people in the falls
city, and for that reason the mer-
chants in the Kentucky metropolis
will expect large delegation to visit
their city on that occasion and no
doubt a very great number will at
tend the meeting, but individuals can
not represent an organization. Other
cities have their local leagues, and
Furthermore their state leagues; and
hold regular meetings They come
together and discuss every phase of
business and all return to their homes
feeling thst they have been benefited
for having attended the meeting.
That league was organized here
goes without saying, and the general
impression seems to be that the thing
needed is a resurrection Of what ex-
lists, and put new life into the old body
