A VANISHED MAY.

she Will dance at the ball this eveninc
line woman | love the best;
With jewels rare in her scented hair.
And roses upon her breast.
Inc gaslight will flash upon her.,
with its garish, relentless glare;
But never the light of its glances bright
Can find a blemish there.
Her lovers will praise her beauty,
And men will applaud her charms
But, oh, for the day of vanished May
When | held her in my arms.
The light was summer sunset,
And the perfume of violets sweet
Was waited by on the warm winds sigh
As lay in the grass at her feet
And she swore to be mine, mine only
Mine always while life should last;
Oh, | think again with a throb of pain
OF that beautiful, dreamy past.
And the music tonight will bring her
The chime of a lfes regrets,
While I think of that day in vanish
ed May,
And the dream that she forgets.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Weh-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price City cents
per bottle.

After Four Months of Prohibit.
tion Wichita Is Again Open.
Beerless Princess No Longer
Applicable to Southern City.
DROUTH is BROKEN,
Jeintists Are Handicapped With
But One Restriction.
They Must Operate Only on
Second Floors of Buildings.

Wichita Kan, Aug. 19-After being
on for four months, the lid" in Wich-
ita has been pried loose and the town
is again running on the wide-open or
der. Beer of any of the popular brands
can be obtained at a large number of
joints, and whisky is also served The
jointists are happy and predicting that
good times have returned and win stay.
They are all rejoicing that the long
Grouth has been broken.
Must Not Run on First Floor.
But one restriction is placed on the
jointists, and that is they must oper-
ate only on the second floors of build
ings. 1t is thus believed that the peo-
pie who favor law enforcement will not
take cosniZance and viii not make COM
paint to Attorney General Jackson.
The chief of police says he cannot stop
the joints because the law allows them
to sell near-bear. that is, beer con-
and that It is impossible to tell the
near-beer from the real thing when the
la bells are removed8 They say it would
be useless to be pulling the joints and
hnoing only near-beer. and that If
they found real beer it would require
a chemical analysis to prove the case.
This they consider too much trouble.
Mayor Says He Is PowerIess.
Mayor Davidson. who was elected
with the understanding that the joints
should be closed, seems pOWerleSs TO
stop violations of the law. The COM
missioners refuse to pass an ordinance
requiring that near-beer be sold only
in gallon lots, and unless such an ordi-
nance is passed the stuff will be sold
over bars. The ga1lon-lot ordinance,
1t is claimed, would do away with the
bars. There is strong talk here that
unless the city commissioners take
steps to close the joints. and do so at
once, petitions will be circulated and
their recall asked by the people who
favor prohibition and law enforcement.

Born in Legden, Prussia, on Feb
ruary %, 1886, Mr.. Deutcher came to
America in May, 1867. He first To-
| Gated at Quincy, ILL.,, where he work
| ed for the Burlington railroad as en-
| CINE wiper, blacksmith and tinsmith,
respectively, for two years. In
| he moved TO t1annIDal, MO, where he
| spent two years as tin and copper
/ smith in the employ of what was then
/ the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad.
1t was at Hannibal that he met Mr..
George Nettleton, who resigned short
! ly afterward as general manager of
to assume charge of the Santa Fe,
which was then in it's infancy. In
commenting upon this change, Mr..
NettletOn once remarked to Mr..
Deutcher that he was going to affil-
late himself with live road.
Through Mr.. Nettleton Mr.. Deutch-
er was later appointed foreman of the
Santa Fe Ctinshop at Topeka. which
June, 1871. He was the first tinsmith
ever employed by the Santa Fe, as
the company had previously allowed
the work of this kind to be done by
Topeka. For q time Mr.. Deutcher did
all the tin and copper work alone,
but, as the road grew, more work
men were of course added to this de-
Dartment- The original tinshop was
a small One-roOm affair, too small to
admit an engine f1ue and with &C
commodations for only six workmen.
At that time the Santa Fe extended
only from AtchiSon to Emporia. Its
entire shop force, including the mas
ter mechanics office. comprised only
sixty-eight men. Topeka was then
a struggling town of eight thousand
people, where buffalo meat was a
common article of diet and where
men often died with their boots on.
Singularly favored is that man
who, during the period of an active
life of faithful service, has been per-
mitted to see the future unrol itself
from these humble beginnings to the
mighty present, and to have been a
live factor in such transformation.
From the time that 'fOld Man
Holiday was jeered for predicting
that the Santa Fee would some day
cross the Rocky Mountains and reach
the Pacific. Mr.. Deutcher, as a faith
full employe, has seen the system
pushed from Emporia to the Pacific,
to the Mexican border, to the Gulf
and from Topeka to the Great Lakes.
In his own sphere of activity he
has seen the humble tinshop of 1871
grow into q distinct feature of one of
the greatest railway shops in the
workers has expanded from sixty |
eight to over three thousand men, |
And he has seen his home town rise |
from a frontier community to be the |
leading city of great state.

makes some pretensions to social life, |

KANSAS PRODIGY IS DEAD.
Three Year, Old Waverly Child Weigh

lola, Kan, Aug. 19--When little
Emma F. Cary, a half sister of DR.. E
r. Cary of this city. died at her home
in waverly, Kan, a prodigy in med
ica1 science passed away. She was
three years old at death and weighed
but ten pounds. In the first place she
was but a wee thing at birth.
When about six weeks of age she
had diphtheria and the treatment ad-
ninistered to check the disease is said
to have stunted her growth. When
twenty-five months old she weighed
by Az pounds.
Doctors who examined her at that
time stated that she was probably the
smallest child in the world for her
age. She furnished a topic for med
icaI gatherings and gained more or
less renown because of her dwarfed
growth Recently she suffered a siege
of fever which resulted in her death

KIRKPATRICK LANDS PLACE.
State Reformatory Clerk Gets
Superintendency in New Mexico.

State RefOrmatOry Clerk Gets a
SUPPLEMENTARY in New Mexico.
Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 19.-John
W. Kirkpatrick, until the first of this
month clerk of the State reformatory.
has been appointed superintendent of
the reformatory of New Mexico. This
is a new institution soon to be opened
at Springer, in that territory. On Mr..
Kirkpatrick will devolve the duty of
organizing the institution and getting
it into running shape
Mr.. Kirkpatrick's appointment is
due to the recent visit here of James
K. Hunt and w. W. Mills, members
of the board of managers of the in
stitution, a week or more ago. They
made a thorough inspection of the in
stitution here, which has the reputa-
ton of being a model of its kind, and
Mr.. Kirkpatrick's long and intimate
connection with the reformatory
caused them to pick him as the
proper man to head their institution
1t was over ten years ago that Mr..
Kirkpatrick came to the reformatory
as clerk. He has served continuously
since that time during various
changes of state administrations.
