Never in the east has there been a
convention that will equal this.

wards small swift cruisers the two

ing mammoth craft, carrying motors of
great power. The medium sized dirigi-
Bile has lost favor.
The latest Zeppelin type, a military
cruiser designed for accommodating
work, though only two-thirds as long
as the Deutschland dirigible, will carry
engines of the same high power. Its
ends are also more pointed to decrease
air resistance and insure the greatest
speed. The newest Parseva1 ship to
be commenced in April will be only As

FIRST RURAL CARRIER QUITS.
Charles Everett Goes to Farm After
Fifteen Years of Service.

Kansas City, Feb. 24.-Fifteen years
of continuous service as carrier on the
first rural free delivery route estab-
lished in the United States. covering
twenty-five miles every day except
Sundays and holidays and the few
days the roads were impossible. is the
record of Charles Everett of Bonner
Springs, Kansas. He has sent his
resignation to Washington that he
may retire to a farm in Colorado he
purchased recently.
The route north from Bonner
Springs was started by the postoffice
department In 1896 as an experiment
in the delivery of mail to farmers.
Everett. who is only 40 years old. esti-
mates the number of trips he has
made at about $500, covering more
than 100000 miles and delivering to
the one hundred families on the route
one million pieces of mail
1t was the great success of the ex-
pertinent on the Bonner Springs rural
free delivery route that induced the
postoftice department, with the sane
ton of congress, to extend the service
in a few years. Now nearly all of
the farmers in the middle and western
states receive their mail at their
homes.

REINIsOH HELPS HUTCHINSON.
Sends Trees From Topeka Park fol
Decoration Purposes.

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 24-The
city of Topeka has given the city of
Hutchinson an offering of weeping
willows.
Ordinarily the willow is an emblem
of mourning. But it is not in com
miseration because Hutchinson failed
to get the state fair appropriation that
Topeka is giving us this gift.
E. F. A. Reinisch, superintendent
of the Topeka city parks, is a kind of
son-in-law of Hutchinson. That is he
married one of Hutchinson's daugh-
tiers, formerly Miss Lulu Nellis.
Mr.. and Mrs Reinisch have been
visiting in Hutchinson the past week,
and the Topeka park superintendent
mentioned that he was trimming a lot
of willow trees in the park there.
f'I would be glad to send you the
cuttings from these willows to be
placed along the canal dixie he said.
1.-THE would make an excellent protec-
ton to the dixie
He agreed to send Hutchinson as
many as would be wanted if the city
here would pay the freight. The
proposition has been accepted, and
1000 of the willow cuttings will be
sent.
The street department will place
them along the canal and within few
years there will be a fine row of will
lows growing along the canal and
creek throughout the western section
Of the city.

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Disorder Which Yields to the
Tonic Treatment as This
California Case
Shows.

There ia a form of Indigestion in
.-L;nb the stomach may be in per-
to lliG sound condition. This is called
.'or,tous dyspepsia and arises from
5;st1rbance OF the nervous system
Tbicb controls the digestive process.
That the nerves do control this pro-
coas ia evident from the fact that acute
emotions such as grief or despair
Immediately stop digestion, and that
an injury to the brain or a nerve
center causes nausea and other distur-
bances of the stomach. The digestive
fluids such as saliva and gastric juice
are the products of cells which are
sbundantly supplied with nerve fibres,
and the mere expectation of food will
start the flow of these fluids.
An instance in which this form of
nervous trouble was readily cured by
the tonic treatment was that of Mrs.

the first thing she does is to apply a

no difference whether the baby has
