The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out CorbetS
was revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the Jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hoYe to the public parallel fact; that
thd seomacA is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring as we'll as In It. We
protect Pur, ,hNRGS, throats, feet and lungs
but theNdNSfnSob\we are utterly indiffer-
ent to, until diseASAinds the solar plexus

NEW FIRE ESCAPE LAW.
City Officials VIII Confer With Legis-
lators Tonight

As a result of the weaknesses shown
IN poth the state law and city ordi-
nances covering the subject of fire
escapes, an effort will be made tonight
TO patch UP the differences and secure
a law that will work not only in theory
put IN practice as well. The house
to confer with the city officials tonight
and draw up bill which will be in
troduced at the session tomorrow The
house committee is composed of Rep
resentatives Cunningham of Cowley.
Lambert of Brown and Morrison of
Neosho. These will meet tonight in
the parlors of the National hotel and
confer with County. Attorney John j.
Schenck, Fire Chief Wilmarth and
Councilman H. B. Howard.
Councilman Howard stated this
morning that at the next session of
the council he would introduce an or
state law, and repeating the present
conflicting ordnance. Thus the two
laws will be similar and nonconflicting.
Mr. Howard will also, so he intimates,
make an attempt to add to the present
fire equipment of the city. A net
which could be used for the purposes
of catching victims who might want
to jump from hotel fire, a tower on
which the hremen could practice
scaling high walls, and an increase IN
the number of f1remen, are included
in his list of improvements.
Mr.. Howard was one of the jury
which sat in the coroner's inquest
which determined the cause of 1. E.
Lambert's death in the fire. According
to Mr.. Howard, the jury meant moth
ing of censure for Fire CHIEF VIII
marth, although the wording or the
verdict is rather vague. Mr.. Howard
thinks that Mr.. Wilmarth all the way
through has acted in good faith as the
law was explained to him by City At
torney Dreaming. Drennfng, Mr.. How
ard insists, is the legal adviser for the
fire chief and that Drenning was at
fault The alderman from the Third
ward also thinks that the fire depart
ment was not slow in handling the
fire, but that it was handicapped by
too small a quota of men: He thinks
that twelve more men could have been
used to advantage in fighting the fire
He explains that the fire department
was not slow in reaching Lambert's s
window, but that the men were all the
while working on other windows
rescuing men, and that owing to the
small number of f1remen, a casualty
of some kind was almost inevitable.
Mr.. Howard says that when Chief
Wilmarth and City Attorney Drenning
consulted Governor Hoch regarding
the fire escape laws of the state last
spring, that Governor Hoch tacitly
admitted that the state law was inef-
fective, because the size of the rope
providing for escapes was too small.

PLACE FOR HISTORY.
Building Planned for State Society
and G.. A. r.. Headquarters.

Judge Buck of Lyon county has in
troduced q bill in the house calling
for an appropriation of 100000 for
the erection of a building in Topeka
for the safe and convenient keeping
and display of the property of the
State Historical society and all the
relics and volumes and pictures of
Kansas history and the civil and bor-
der wars.
The building is to be erected under
the supervision of commission COM
posed of the secretary of state, secre-
tary of the State Historical society, at
torney general and G. A. r. man to
be appointed by the governor and is
to be built by plans drawn by the
state architect. The G. A. R. of Kan
sas and its property shall also be given
rooms in the new building.
Bucks bill is one of the most bene-
fetal to the state at large that has yet
been introduced at this session and it
Is to be hoped that such a measure
will be enacted into a law before the
legislature adjourns. In such a build
ing could be housed the invaluable, in
structive, entertaining and wonderful
Goss Bird collection, now not properly
cared for or displayed for lack of room.

Thousands upon thousands OF
women have kidney trouble and never

Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder dis
ease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they will cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer great deal with
pain in the back, bearing-down feelings,
headache and loss of ambition
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and may be respondent; 1t
makes any one so.
But thousands of irritable, nervous,
tired and broken-down women have
restored their health and strength by
the use of Swamp-Root, the great
Kidney Liver and Bladder Remedy
Swamp-Root brings new life and
activity to the kidneys, the cause of
such troubles.
Many send for a sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great Kid
ney. Liver and Bladder Remedy will

Burrows of Michigan Urges Adoption
of Adrich's Tariff on Iron Ore
For Protection of
Miners.
COMPETITION
CUBAN
Says Cuba Can Make a Superior Pro-
duct at Less Cost Than Can
be Made at Pitts
burg.

WASHINGTON, May 13-Burrows,
C Michigan in the senate today urged
the adoption of the Aldrich tariff of
25 cents per ton on iron ore. He said
the iron ore mines of this country
could not overcome the. cheap ore and
the high grades from ths inexhaustible
deposits in Cuba. He pointed out there
has been tariff on ore since the
foundation of the government. The
Wilson and Dingley law fixed the
duty at 40 cents per ton; the Payne
bill placed it on the free list. The
senate bill makes the duty 20 cents.
Free ore, Burrows declared, cost the
government loss of more than $780,
600 year in revenues. With ore on
the free list. Cuban ore could compete
with and make superior product than
Pittsburg. He cited figures to substan-
titate the statement. Cuba ore, he
said. could be gathered up with steam
shovels, which meant cheap produc-
tion and wages much lower than in
this country. He made plea for the
miners, saying they would be serious
ly affected by free ore. Raynor, OF
Maryland, argued in favor of placing
ore on the free list.

straus Declares Reason For Failure
to Check Disease is Mischief
Wrought by the Dairy
Cows.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-That the
recent vigorous campaign against
tuberculosis has failed to check the
disease, was statement made in
letter from Nathan Straus, the New
philanthropist, read at the open
ing Of the fifth annual meeting of the
national association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis, here today
Strausl. backs the assertion by official
statistics from the New York health
deps tment showing an increase of
SO per cent in two years in the num-
ber of cases of tuberculosis in New
York. The reason for the failure to
make headway, Straus declares, is the
neglect of the mischief wrought by
the tuberculosis dairy COW. He says
the abolition of tuberculosis will be-
gin only when it is made a crime to
sell milk from tuberculosis cows, un
less it is properly pasteurized. The
association was called to order by
Homer Folks, vice president. AT the
meeting tomorrow evening addresses
