WINNER OF SLOGAN CONTEST
After Delay Of Several Months Name
Is Announced BY Committee.

Some months ago the Workingmen's 3
Fraternal Association Of this city
de cided to award prize of ten dol
lars to the person making the best
suggestion for slogan for STAUN-
TON. This DISPATCH consented to
conduct the contest for the associa-
tion and announcement was made to
that effect. In day or two the
contest was on in full blast -suggts-
tions rolled in from everywhere and in
such numbers that it required tho con-
slant attention of an Office employee
to look after them. When the date
for the contest to close arrived an
nounc ement Of that fact was made
and the DISPATCH had discharged
it's full share of the bargain. The
Workingmen originated the slogan
idea; not the DISPATCH. In the
meantime the members of the COM
mittee in charge for reasons best
known to themselves deferred the

the job and not wishing to hurry
the committee no reference to the
subject was made in the columns Of
the paper. Many persons blamed the
DISPATH for the delay and it is for
the purpose Of correcting that impress
sion an explanation is made. How
ever, tlat is all in the past. On last
Saturday night the committee finally
assembled to select the best sugges-
tion and to nape the winner of the
prize As announced in Sundays

Hearst Wins Victory.

New York, May 4.-Wm. R. Hearst
won legal victory over the city Of
New York in the supreme court today
when Justice Greenbaum dismissed a
test case to compel Hearst to pay
damages obtained against the munich
pality for deaths and injuries OF per-
sons in the explosion OF fire works
near Madison Square in 1902, when
Hearst was celebrating his election to
congress. A jury had been sworn in
when counsel for Hearst made mo-

baum granted it, holding in brief that
Hearst had the necessary permit and
the city had no right to take such q
risk.

Indigestion, Gas, SOurness or Dys-
pepsia Go in Five Minutes.

ach distress or Indigestion would van
ish in five minutes and you would feel
fine.

anything you eat and overcome a sour

ize it.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill You,
or lays like a lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn, that
is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
undigested food mixed with acid, no
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
Intestinal gripping. This will all go

ed food left over in the stomach TO
poison your breath with nauseous
oders.

out-or-order stomachs, because it pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold Of
your food and digests it just the same
as If your stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is at any drug store waiting
for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly cure
almost any case of Dyspepsia, Indiges-
ton or any other stomach disturbance

COFFEE WAS IT
People Slowly Learn the Facts.

''All my life have been such a slave
to coffee that the very aroma of it
was enough to set my nerves CULVER
ing. 1 kept gradually losing my
health but 1 used to say nonsense, it
don't hurt me-
Slowly 1 was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
whole nervous force was shattered.
My heart became weak and I'M
certain in it's action and that fright
ened me. Finally my physician told
me, about year ago, that l must stop
drinking coffee or I could never ex-
pect to be well again.
Il was in despair, for the very
thought of the medicines 1 had tried
so many times, nauseated me. I
thought of Postum but could hardly
bring myself to give up the coffee.
Finally I concluded that owed it
to myself to give Postum a trial. So
got package and carefully follow
ed the directions, and what deli
cious, nourishing, rich. drink it was!
Do you know 1 found it very easy to
shift from coffee to Postum and not
mind the change at all?
Almost Immediately after I made
the change 1 found myself better,
and as the days went by 1 kept on
improving NV nerves grew sound
and steady, slept well and felt strong

WHAT THEY THINK
Kansas Travelling Men Discuss

Main Topic of Conversation on
Railroad Trains.
HELPS BUSINESS MEN.

Salina. Kan, Oct. 27.-It has been a
good many years since the people of
Kansas have been interested in an is
sue under discussion in Missouri as
they are this year in the present agi-
tation on the prohibition question, ac-
cording to men who travel over the
state. They say that statewide prohi-
bition in Missouri is the main topic of
conversation on the trains, in the de-
pots, in the hotels and in almost every
community.
Many of the travelling men who live
in Kansas and cover Kansas territory
and who have first hand knowledge of
the effects of prohibition, are doing a
little missionary work among the men
who live in Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, cities, and it is said that in many
instances converts have been made.
IF those Missouri business men are
opposing prohibition wish they would
lust make a trip into this state" said
ex-Mayor D. w. Hills of Salina. Mr..
Hills was elected mayor of Salina in
the spring of 1907 and up to that time
the prohibitory law never had been
rigidly enforced in this city. His cleo
ton followed one of the most bitter
campaigns Salina ever saw, as he was
pledged to clean up the town. Business
men, jobbers, professional men and
many of the travelling men fought him,
but the vote of the women elected him
by a small majority. He kept his word
and in ten days after he took his office
there was not a blind tiger" in Sa-
lima.
1.-THE business men of this city did
everything they could to keep me from
carrying out my work as mayor" con-
tinued Mr.. Hills. In a few months they
came to me again and acknowledged
that I was right. They said, Why, men
who have owed me for years are buy
ing more goods and are paying their
bills regularly; their families are being
better provided for than ever before
and the same men whose money former
~ went for drink are now carrying dol
lars in their pockets that they can call
their own
There has been less crime, less
drunkenness and fewer cases in police
court than at any time in the history
of the city. There are a few bootleg
gers, but their number has been reduc-
ed to a minimum, and their business is
limited as the liquor they handle is of
the poorest and cheapest grades"

BILLIARD SAYS"SHOWME''
Doesn't Believe Statements of Zumwalt
About Joints.

Mayor Billiard has taken up the chal-
lenge sent forth by Clerin Zumwalt, a
field man for the State Temperance
union. who claimed that liquor was be-
ing sold in the Topeka river districts.
He asks that Zumwalt give his evidence
and promises that all police officers
connected with the tipping will be dis
charged and that every effort will be
made to arrest and convict the joint
lists and bootleggers in the city.
1.-THE chief of police and myself will
have to have more reliable evidence
from a more reliable person than Clerin
Zumwalt before we will accept his
statements as the truth.
1--WE ask Zumwalt to furnish proof
by competent witnesses that the joint
lists We're tipped off before raid by
the police before we will believe his
statements. His charges to this effect
are false as far as we know"

TALK ABOUT STATE FAIR.
Jefferson County May Have Big Ex-

Valley Falls, Kan, Oct. 27-The
New Era says: The arrangements of
the Topeka and Hutchinson fairs have
arrived at an amicable arrangement
regarding the time of holding the next
years fairs. The Topeka fair will be
held the second week in September,
and the Hutchinson event the week
after. This will make a better fair for
both, as all the stock and horses from
one will go to the other
In this connection, we want to call
the attention Of the farmers of this
county to the necessity of making
preparation early to enter a county
exhibit at the Topeka fair. Jefferson
county can easily capture the prize if
there is a concerted effort. 1t has been
suggested that the Winchester event be
held before the state fair SO that the
best from there could be used in the
county exhibit.
1t is the intention of the business
men of Valley Falls to put on the big
gest and best fall festival next year
that they have ever attempted, and in
this connection there will be good
prizes offered for all kinds of farm
products, which will be used to help
out in the county exhibit. This exhibit
will likely be held on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday Of the first week
in September.
The Topeka fair is one of the big
gest things for the benefit of the peo-
pie of this part of the state that has
happened for a long time, and next
year it will be better than this.

MUSEUM BUILDING AT X. U.
\ Most Interesting Place to Visitors in
Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct 27.-Visitors
at the University of Kansas are always
impressed with the panorama exhibit
in the museum building. occupying the
entire first floor. Much progress in the
perfecting of this exhibit has been
made during the past summer. The
background of rocks and cliffs has
been extended around the entire four
walls of the building, leaving room
only for one entrance.
The foreground, running back to the
rocks, seems to have been transported
entire from the western plains-the
grass is real buffalo grass and the sage
brush is genuine. The animals are not
placed in rows, but are grouped in
natural attitudes busily feeding, fight
ing or playing. The columns that sup
port the second story of the building
have been transformed into great tree
trunks with the appropriate inhabit-
ants Even such details as the leaves
on the trees are worked out with great
care. Each leaf is treated chemically
to preserve it, and is then wired to its
branch. The educational value of this
collection increases with every days

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
The Saccharine Vegetable Now Being

as the wheat belt is pushing westward.
This seoson sugar beets were grown in
Barton county near Great Bend, and
are now being shipped tic the sugar
factory at Garden City for testing.
If the quality proves to be good. a
much larger acreage will be put out
next season. John Novels had eight
acres in beets within the corporate
limits of Great Bend. He figures that
the tract will produce 200 tons, and
he contracted them for IS per ton,
making yield of $1,000, o. 1925 per
acre.
IF sugar beets can be grown sue
cessfully in Barton county, they can
be grown everywhere along the Ar
kansas valley from Reno west" de-
clared a beet grower.
"a perfect stand of beets should
have approximately 10000 plants to
the acre. 1t should be possible, how
eer, to have a stand Of ont less than
$4,000 plants to the acre. 1t is read
lily seen that Il these roots weigh on
an average of one pound each when
mature the yield will be seventeen and

FEWER ARRESTS FOR DRUNK.
Decrease of 800 Since Corresponding
Period Last Year.

According to a report just compiled by
James Clark, assistant city attorney,
there have been $40 arrests for drunken
ness in Topeka in the last year.
This compares most favorably with TIE
time between April, 1908, and April 1909
when there We're S34 arrests for the same
offense.
Of the $40 arrests. Mr. Clark has it that
10 per cent of these were men who had
obtained liquor in Topeka and refused to
tell where they got it. Twenty-Five per
cent of the total were drunk on jamaica
ginger-and the courts haven't decided
whether this is unlawful for sale or not.
Twenty-Five per cent were arrested from
the railroad trains-persons coming to To-
peka drunk when they had obtained their
booze in other places. The remaining ten
per cent of the $40 were what the assist
ant city attorney calls ''repeaters.' A
