WICHITA THEATER WAR.
Crawford Brings Action Against Syndf-
cate for Violating Contract.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 30.-A war is
being waged here in Wichita where a
great deal of rivalry exists between the
Crawford (Shubert) and the Auditor
ium (Klaw & Erlanger) theaters. The
fight between the two factions even
extends among the bill posters.
Since the Crawford management de-
elared for the open door several OF
the Klaw & Erlanger shows which
we're originally booked into the Craw-
ford have cancelled and appeared at
the Auditorium.
L. H. Martling, manager for the
Crawford's who are not only Topeka
residents but who control the theaters
there, has brought suit against the
owners of the scat and Fiddle" COM
rany. which showed at the Auditorium
recently.
Martling claims that the show was
booked into his house, and that the
customary two weeks notice of change
was not given.

PENSIONS FOR SICK.
And Insurance for Relatives of De-
ceased Worlkmen.

Berlin. Nov. 30.-Emperor William
opened the reichstag today by per
sonally reading the speech from the
throne. The speech dealt largely
with domestic legislation and con-
tanned the important announcement
that the government had prepared a
measure extending the sick benefit in
surance to the working classes not
heretofore protected and creating a
system of insurance for the dependent
relatives of deceased workers The
imperial Insurance organization will
be modified in important particulars
One of the principal tasks of the
government, the emperor said, was to
fortify the financial position of the
empire with the means provided by
the finance bill of the last session, and
this task would be accomplished
through the appropriation bill for
1910, which would be laid before the
house.

Health of Animals Best
Because Of Good Digestion

An interesting interview was re-
Gently obtained with L. T. Cooper,
whose theory and medicines have
created such a sensation during the
past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: my medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human
stomach today has become degenerate,
and It is the cause for most i'll health
In the horse. the dog. and the wild
animals generally, you see no nerve
exhaustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut I'D day after dav with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had
enough work to justify it. The human
race has been doing this for years.
and look at the result-half the peo-
pie are complaining of poor health,
not real illness-just half-sick tired,
droopy feeling. They don't really
know what is the matter with them
Ell know that all the trouble is
caused by weak, overworked stomachs.
I have proved this with my medicine
to many thousands of people in most
of the leading cities of the country.
This Is the real reason for the demand
for my preparation
Among those who have recently
been converted to Cooper's theory is
Mr.. S. w. Beckham of Aberdeen,
Miss, who says: 81 have just spent
four miserable years asking and
searching for relief from indigestion
and stomach trouble. I can not de-
scribe the suffering I have been
through. My health was undermined,
and I could see myself rapidly failing.
I could neither eat, sleep nor work.
