A LIBERAL OFFER
Fred Snow, the Druggist, Guarantees
to Cure Dyspepsia. If He Fails
the Medicine Costs Nothing.

To unQuestionably prove to the peo-
pie of Topeka that indigestion, and
dyspepsia is durable and that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will effect the cure,
we will furnish the medicine absolute
ly free if it fails to give complete sat
isfaction to anyone giving it a trial
The remarka BILE success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the
new and successful method of manu-
facture, whereby the well-known pro-
perties of Bismuth, Subnitrate and
Pepsin have been combined with car
minatives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifics for acute indiges-
ton and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexan Dyspep-
sia Tablets is manufactured by a new
process which develops its greatest ef-
ficiency. Pepsin supplies to the diges-
tive apparatus one of the most i'm
portant elements of the digestive fluid,
and exerts a tonic influence upon all
the glands which supply all the other
elements necessary to proper assimi-
lation and digestion.
The carmina tives add properties
which promptly relieve the distur-
Dances and pain caused by undigest-
ed food.
The perfect combination of these
ingredients make a remedy absolutely
Incompatible and Invaluable for the
complete cure of indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
We are so positively certain of this
that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
on our own personal guarantee that
they will either cure you or cost you
nothing-Three Sizes Csc, 45c and

FIRE STARTS FROM GAS.
Leak i'll Basement of Shawnee Grocery
Causes the Trouble.

At ten forty-five this morning ev-
erything on wheels from No. station
of the fire department and few OF
the companies from No. 1 responded
to an alarm from 116 East Sixth street
where smoke was pouring out from
the basement under the Shawnee Gro
cery and bad fire was apparently on
tap.
Headed by Chief WiImarth two
companies of fremen drove into the
supposed fiery furnace and found
there a small fire eating its way
among the flooring and a few boxed
goods in the vicinity of the gas meter
From the gas meter itself was huge
flame shooting out three or four
feet
Chemical company under E.: E.
Babcock quenched the auxiliary
flames and the gas volcano was shut
off by closing the valve under the
sidewalk al the front of the building.
The damage was trifling and 1t VIII not
inconvenience the store in any manner
as far as business is concerned. The
gas supply is cut out temporarily.
A peculiar smell, an inquisitive man,
an innocent match and escaping gas
was the cause of the fire. One of the
gas and going to the cellar with a
match he hunted for it. He found it
The pipes connecting the main with
the meter became disconnected by
some manner or means and gas was
escaping in volumes. On investigation
Chief Wilmarth found that small
valve was located In under the side
walk and this was also leaking but
had no connection with the fire. The
main cut off box was never found al
though the chief and representative
from the gas company hunted for 1t.
1t is probably cemented out of sight
under the sidewalk. This is generally
the case when a fire is in progress.

, DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
s'I am 65 and have had a good deal
of experience with coffee. I consider
it very injurious and the cause of
many diseases. am sure it causes de-
cay of teeth in children.
fsWhen I drank coffee I had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about a
year ago 1 had rheumatism in my
arm and fingers, got so nervous
could not sleep and was all run down.
"At last, after finding that medi-
cines did me no good. I decided to quit
coffee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months I fully recovered
my health beyond all expectations
can sleep sound and my rheumatism
is all gone "There's a Reason"

Florence Roberts added to the al
ready favorable impression she had
created in Topeka last night when she
was seen at the Grand in "The House
Engl1shman and with a decidedly
British flavor. 1t deals with the injus-
tice of the English divorce laws and
naturally the theme is less interesting
IN America than it would be in Eng
land
The story deals with a titled couple
unhappily married. Sir Vincent
Meredyth has an affinity and his wife
becomes dissatisfied. strange to say
and falls in love with a young sur
geon who is a bachelor. They make
love at arms length throughout the
whole play, the wife 1amenting mean
while because the English divorce laws
do not permit her to get a divorce
even through her husband is untrue to
her though for similar indiscretions on
her part he would have legal grounds
for divorce. Sir Vincent was anxious
enough to get rid of his wife but he
feared the scandal of a divorce so
they lived on in that situation to the
end. The surgeon is a man of high
ideals. Sir Vincent, the husband of
his sweetheart comes to him for
surgical operation and he undertakes
the task and carries it to a successful
issue though he might easily have put
an end to the life of his rival by
mistake. He discusses this with Sir
Vincent himself and also with the
duchess-the other woman in the case
but he is highly incensed at ''the in
suit of his profession However the
operation is successful and Sir Vincent
is saved for 1.-The other woman" and
for a cabinet position which the other
woman secured for him. Then the
dutifuI wife resigns Sir Vincent to his
affinity and tells him that she will give
him a year to have parliament change
the divorce laws and if at the end of
that time he failed she would take
the law into her own hands which
meant that she would live with her
affinity in spite of the law.
The moral tone of the play is not
of a high order as can be seen from
this brief synopsis but the story is del
icateIy told that there is nothing
offensive in the lines.
Miss Roberts has little opportunity
to show her ability as an emotional
actress but she handles the part of
the wronged wife cleverly and natural
ly. The company which is composed
of but seven people is unusually
strong. Arthur Forrest as Sir Vincent
being especially clever in his in inter-
probation of the dignified though
profiimate English nobleman. Ann
Warrington as the duchess was es-
peciaIly pleasing in an unpleasant
part

Testimony Concerning Gordon
Marriage Contract.
Asserted That Late Fred Gordon
Destroyed Document.
WE'RE TWO DIVORCES.
Claimed by Contestants That
Neither Was Legal.
A. H.. Vance of Oklahoma City
Testifies.

The fight for the Gordon thousands
which has occupied the attention of
Judge Dana of the district court for
the past week is drawing to a close.
The divorces, two of them, which were
granted to the widow of the late G. S.
Gordon prior to her marriage with Mr..
Gordon have been attacked by the de-
fense of the suit now being tried.
A deposition introduced in evidence
indicates that the woman who is fight
ing for the Gordon estate married her
first husband, who was a railroad
brakeman, at Fort Scott in 1876. His
name was A. F. Richmond and he
claims that his wife deserted him while
he was making his customary trip as
a brakeman and that he did not see
her for years afterwards.
Mrs. Gordon secured a divorce from
this man in Kansas City and the de-
PENDANTS claim that this is void for the
reason that it was secured in Missouri
while the interested parties were resi-
dents Of Kansas. Several years after
wards the widow, by a decree of the
court met and married Charles starr.
She afterwards secured a divorce from
him and this decree is questioned on
account of defect in the publication
notice.
The evidence indicates that Mrs.
Gordon has been in correspondence
with her first husband within recent
years, in fact since the death of Mr..
Gordon. Mrs. Gordon's second husband,
Charles Starr. disappeared in 1895 and
has not been seen or heard of since
that time. The question of an ante
nuptiaI contract which enters largely
into the merits of the case is not denied
by any of the parties concerned in
fact both are anxious to prove that it
at one time existed.
The widow insists that the docu-
naent was destroyed by mutual con-
The Topeka state journal., 1909-03-17

sent of herself and Mr.. Gordon after
he had come to the conclusion that its
provisions were inadequate. The de-
fense sprang a surprise when they in
troduced a deposition signed by Ruth
J. Lyons, a sister of Mr.. Gordon's first
wife, who lives at Camper, Col, in
which she claims that the ante-nup-
tial contract was destroyed by Fred
Gordon, son of G. S. Gordon, accord
ing to the story related to her by the
plaintiff in the case now being tried.
There is a mass of contradictory
evidence now before the court and
more of the same kind to follow. The
defendants in the case who admit that
there was an ante-nuptia1 contract de-
clare that it was destroyed by the
plaintiff before the death of Mr.. Cor
don so that she might secure wild
ow's share of the property which
amounts to from sixty to seventy thou
sand dollars.
In support of the claim of the de-
fense that an ante-nUptial agreement
was made A. H. Vance of Oklahoma.
q former Topeka lawyer, who drew
the document was brought to Topeka.
nearly ten years ago, Mr.. Vance tes-
titled to it's contents which CORES
ponds to the claim of the defendant,
Mrs. L H. Mum and those who were
familiar with its contents.
He testified that Mr.. Gordon agreed
to deed to his wife a small tract of
land east of the Santa Fe depot and an
improved piece of real estate in North
Topeka. A year and one-half after
the original contract was drawn by
Mr.. Vance he prepared a copy of it
from memory and this was introduced
in evidence. An attempt was made
by the heirs OF the estate to settle
their differences out of court and the
widow was offered money and proper
ey to the value of about $4,000 She
is now fighting for double that amount
and the case will in all Proba biIities
drag through the courts for years un-
less a compromise is effected between
the litigants.
