PAVING BILL GOES IN.
House Votes to Allow the City Thirty
Two Thousand.

BY vote. of 81 to 4S the house this
afternoon placed the Topeka paving
claim for $4,000 in the claims and
accounts committee bill. The claim
was eliminated from the senate bill.
Two years ago the legislature got into
deadlock over this claim that lasted
all night and most of the next day.
Then the senate was against the claim.
The Pittsburg manual training school
appropriation was also responsible for
the deadlock of two years ago.
What will be the result tonight
when this bill goes to the senate is not
known. 1t may go through or it may
result in deadlock that will last all
night.
The house also accepted the claim
for some fifteen of its employees for
pa for overtime. This claim was
sent back to the committee when it
came up for consideration Thursday
night.

Gilbert Peterson, alleged highway
robber, was bound over for trial in
the district court by Judge Robert
Carver at the preliminary hearing of
the case in the court of Topeka this

George O'Brian, a farmer, and taking

PLUMP FOLKS
AND THIN FO' Ks
Samose will Make People Fat. ssMoney

Fred D. Pierce

Samose will Make People Fat. "Money
Back if 1t Fails" Says
Fred D. Pierce.
The line of beauty is curve.
Women may be thin and graceful, but
not thin and beautiful. There is a
vast number of pale, thin, scrawny
people who are all brains and nerves,
but without the strength and health
that accompanies the standard weight.
Good flesh and perfect health go to-
gether. A true fesh-forming food
like Samose is absolutely necessary to
many people.
This remarkable discovery comes in
tablet form and when taken after
meals mingles with the food and helps
it to assimilate so that it makes rich
blood and pleasing plumpness.
Fred D. Pierce has so much conf
dence in this remarkable fesh-for
ing food and health restorer that he
is willing and glad to allow any Gus
toner to deposit soc with him and
take home box of Samose with the
understanding that if it does not give
a marked increase in good firm flesh
the money will be returned without
any questions.
Take advantage of this offer. The
risk is all his and you have almost the
certainty of a pleasing gain in plump
ness.
