A LAFAYETTE
WOMAN HUNG
Marvellous Results of the Great
Discovery.

When the Root Juice scientist was at
Lafayette, Ind, Mrs. Tom Sheldon, OF
that city, called on him and said; Il
actually hung to the neck of my nus
band and pleaded with him to try Root
Juice. So much was being said about
the many cures the remedy was max
ing that I felt it might do him some
good. He had suffered for years with
his stomach and kidneys and severe
headache. Every change of the wealth
er his back hurt MIN intensely, and of
late years the lightest food would fer
ment in his stomach and bowels, and
the formation of gas would cause him
to bloat very much. He had tried so
many things that he had lost heart,
but I finally persuaded him to get a
bottle of Root Juice. The first bottle
made him feel so much better that he
went back to the drug store and got
three more bottles. After using four
bottles of the truly wonderful medicine
his health seems perfect. l never saw
such a change in a man in my life. He
told me that he would not take a for
tune for what Root Juice has done TO"
him" The remedy creates much ex-
citement in every city in which it is In
troduced. One of the demonstrations
was at Springfield, Ill, recently AMI
nearly every day the newspapers at that
point reported marvellous good that
was being derived from the use of the
remedy by numerous citizens. The In
structors have hundreds of testimonials
from people who have been cured by
the great remedy. The people at the
Arnold drug store, 523 Kansas avenue,
are pleasant in explaining the remedy

7 FIRST PAYMENT.
1t Has Been Made by Topeka
Business Men to Cooley.
New Stock Company Will Be
Capitalized at $4,000.
TO BUILD NEW CLUB.
Six Old Players Left for a
Foundation.
Regarding Fred Moore of Fort
Worth for Manager.
TO BUILD NEW CLUB.

With the ratification of the sale of
the Topeka Western league franchise
by the club owners of the league, Ches-
ter Woodward, representing the To-
peka business men organizing a stock
company, made Owner D. G. Cooley the
first payment on the option, already
held, in Chicago
Cooley will come to Topeka next
week for the balance of his $4,000, the
price of the franchise and six players.
These six players are Thomason,
Kerns, Riley, Perseh. Barber and Flu
gate.
"The stock company viii be capital
lied at either $1,000 or a higher fig
/ ward today. "Our task practically
amounts to the building of a new club
and we will have to raise $4,000 at
| least. It is up to US to make the club
a success next year and we will have to
spend some money"
Larry QufnIan, former shortstop OF
the Louisville and Columbus clubs in
the A. A, has been purchased from
the Wilkesbarre. Pa, club.
Pending Organization and the selec-
ton of manager, Fred Moore, last
season with the Fort Worth team In
the Texas league, has acted for the
club in filing drafts for players with
the national commission. The Sport
ing News has to say Of Moore for man
ayers:
1.-THE owners of the Topeka club in
the Western league have made Walter
| Morris an offer for Fred Moore, the
utility player of the Fort Worth team
the past season. It is said that Moore
| is wanted as a playing manager Of the
| Topeka team the next season. Morris
has put the proposition up to Moore,
| but is not anxious to dispose of this
| heady player. There is no doubt about
| his qualifications to lead a team, for he
ldemor strated his fitness and ability to
think and lead in the heat of battle.
He was head and shoulders above the
other utility players of this league the
past season. Several offers were made
to Morris for Moore by other Texas
league clubs the past season, but Nor
ris could not be induced to part with
him. If Moore declines to leave the
Panther fold, he will probably be made
the playing manager of the Fort Worth
team, if Morris should quit the field.
It is also said that the management
of the Oklahoma City club has been
| offered to Moore. Moore was formerly
/ a manager in the I.-I.-L league"

Father Seeks. to Have Son Elected
From Stepmother's House.

Ignored in the will Of his stepmother,
Charles E. Chilson refuses to move from
the house in which he and his wife
cared for her for years. Consequently
he is defendant in a forceable entry and
Getainer suit brought by his father,
P. Chilson. who is the sole beneficiary
in the Will.
The stepmother left some $4,000 in
property and money to her husband.
The will was late in being probated
and before the father came in with it.
the son had begun proceedings in the
court to lega1ize a spoliated will which
he said had provided that he was to
receive the entire property after his
father had held life legacy. This was
to be compensation for taking care of
the couple during their old age. But

The home where the old couple has
been cared for by Charles Chilson and
his wife is at Twelfth and Winter
streets. Judge Simon Of the city court
Will decide the case probably this ev-
ening.

SCHOOL TEACHERS UNION.
Organization Is Proposed in the Fed

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 18.-A plan to
unionize the school teachers of the

O'Connor, a representative of the
Longshoremen's union, is also repre-
senting the teachers of Buffalo, n. Y,
who have perfected a union, succeeded
in having it recognized and in advanc-

pledge its support to that end.
THE teachers of Buffalo already are
well organized said O'Conner. They
have raised their own salaries as re-
suit. They believe that organization
