TWO MEN KILLED.
Both Are Mysteriously Shot in the
Same Locality.

Chicago, March 1.-The shooting of
Richard j. H. Fink, who was killed
while he was a half block from home
early Sunday has developed into a dou-
BILE mystery. The police discovered that
another man, after being shot at the
same place and at the same time, also
died early in the day.
Morris Fitzgerald, a walking delegate
for the bartenders' union, staggered
into his residence shortly after mid
night and within a few minutes of the
time of the shooting. He was shot in
the abdomen. He died six hours later
at a hospital
That the two men were shot in the
same affray is regarded by the police
practically certain. Which was the
aggressor, what was the cause, who an
alleged third participant are questions
that have not been answered
Both men are widely known in labor
circles.
That there was third person impli-
Gated is shown by the testimony of a
boy who saw the shooting from about
a block away. He was unable to tell
anything except that one man met two
others and the shooting followed.

NEED LARGER ARMY.
Colonel Heisland Thinks 1t Is Neces-
sary to Safety of Country.

New York, March 1.-Colonel H. O..
S. Heisland, adjutant general of the
Department of the East, u. S. A, de-
plores the lack of numerical strength
in the United States army, declaring
that at present there are not enough
regulars in the army to defend New
York city and Phila delphia, while all
the national guardsmen in the coun-
try, he says, would not be sufficient
to defend these cities from attack.
Colonel Heisland made this statement
in an interview here yesterday and
said incidentally that the uniform of
the United States army is better
known in Japan and in other foreign
countries than in many sections of the
United States. To permit the country
to continue in such a defenseless con-
ditiOn is to invite attack and to call
unframed men to its defense to die
of disease, is a crime little short of
that of precipitating a needless war,
he said at is a condition that can
not too soon be terminated if we are
to remain at peace without submitting
to humiliation

INTERESTING FACTS
Fred Snow, the Druggist, Offers to
Cure Catarrh. The Medicine
Costs Nothing If They Fail.

When a medicine effects a cure in
9S per cent of cases, and when we Of
fer that medicine on our own personal
guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing if it does not cure Catarrh. it
is only reasonable that people should
believe us, or at least put our claim
to a practical test when we take all
the risk. These are facts which we
want the people of Topeka to sub
stantiate. We want them to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone. a medicine prepared from
prescription of physician whose
specially was Catarrh, and who has a
record of thirty years of cures to his
credit.
We sell more bottles and receive
more good reports about Rexall Mucu-
Tone than we do of all other catarrh
remedies sold in our store, and if more
people only knew what a thoroughIv
dependable remedy, Rexau Mucu-Tone
is, 1t would be the only catarrh medi-
cine we would have any demand for
Rexan Mucu-Tone is quickly aborb-
ed and carried by the blood until it
thoroughly disinfects and cleanses the
entire mucous membranous tract de-
stroys and removes the parasites which
injure and destroy the membra mons
tissues, soothes and heals the irrita-
tion and soreness. stops the mucous
discharge, and builds up strong healthy
tissue, relieves the blood and system of
diseased matter, stimulates the muco-
cells. aids digestion and improves nu-
triton until the whole body vibrates
with healthy activity. In a compara-
lively short time there is a most no.
iiceable gain in weight, strength, good
color and feeling of buoyancy
We urge you to try Mucu-Tone, be-
ginning a treatment today At any time
you are not satisfied. simply come and
tell us, and we will quickly return YOUR
money without question or bubble. We
have RexaH Mucu-Tone in two sizes,

There will also be y number OF
changes At the locations and out lying
schools and among the cadets.

heart and soul in the work for many
years was re-hired at an advanced
salary the board feeling that the unus
ual interest shown by the superinten-
dent in our schools Is worthy OF recog-
milton. Miss Hamilton will also retain
her position as principal OF the high
school. a fact that will please the many
school patrons as she has certainly
shown unusual interest in her work
here.
The others Of the old teachers who
retain their positions do so because
the board feels that they have been
faithful and.successful in their work
and as a recognition of their work an
advance is made of $25 per year in the
salary of each.
A manual training department has
been established and the position ten
dered TO an experienced teacher from
Iowa.
The names of the new teachers may
be found in another column OF this

will delay the opening TO more or less
degree.
No general strike is expected but it
is thought that there will be a locking
