Mitchell for service, ana Thursday morning, as Mrs. Dodds was leaving the dining room in the Dlxon house. Sheriff Mitchell served the papers and placed Mrs. Dodds under arrest. He permitted her to remain at the hotel under surveillance. Mrs. Dodds communicated with her attor- ney in New York, who will represent her in future proceedings.

 To this letter made the following reply: Yes, the new Peruna does contain & laxative element. You should therefore take the old Peruna (Ka-tar-no) which has no laxative quality. While prescribing the old Per1na I found it quite necessary fre- Quently to prescribe the laxative Man. alin in connection with 1t. Therefore Manalin' was combined with Peruna, in order to meet those cases that re- quire a laxative. But in case no laxa- tive is required the objection to the new Peruna you speak of arises. Many of the people who used to take the old Peruna found difficulty in taking the new Peruna. To meet those cases I am having manufactured the old Peruna under the name of KAtarno. and if you are anxious to get the old Peruna exactly as it used to be made you can do so."

Rhode Island occupies a small place on the map and Westerly is a mere flyspcck, and therefore gives impress sion of very little importance. How ever, within the past year, three col leGe presidents have been called from the state, They are Rev. George w.

Frank Ritutu entered writ of civil suit in the Third district court seek ing damages of $2,000 for injuries in fiicted by Angelo Cappuccio, with steel pinch bar. The case was con- tinued for hearing. Frank was ten ant of house owned by Angelo in Pierce street, and circulated the story that the house was haunted. When the two men met in the street, Frank declares that Angelo hit him in the head with a pinch bar, inf1icting a severe wound and which will probably cause permanent injury. Angelo de- nies the seriousness of the blow and perhaps has substantial defence.
 This same Angelo Cappuccio Is plain tiff in a criminal case brought against Vincenzo Mascolo, charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon. An gelo charges that Vincenzo discharged a revolver at him. but the bullet went wide of the mark. The case was call- ed in the Third district court and Vincenzo pleaded not guilty. By agree ment between Town Solocitor Harry B. Agard and Attorney John J. Dunn, Judge Williams ordered the case con tinued for two weeks. Vincenzo was released on a bond of $500 with Frank Samuel Nardone as surety.

FARM MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS

People with a moderate amount OF
money to invest will find informa-
ton which may be of great value to
them in Edward Sherwood Meade's
financial articles which are now q
regular monthly feature of Lippir-
colts Magazine. DR.. Meade's theme
this month is "six Per Cent. on the
Land"
IA farm mortgage does not diff
fer essentially from any other mort
gage" he says. "It Is a PROMISE to
pay one, two, five or ten thousand
dollars in three or five years ;tcDl
date and It is secured by the moIs-
gage which conveys iii trust to the
lender the title to the mortgaged
property. This conveyance is record
ed in the county in which tho prop
erty Is located, thus establishing the
claim Of the lender as a first lien
upon the mortgaged premises. The
advantages and disadvantages Of this
form OF mortgage. as compared with

western states. as rule. DO not
tax at home lnvestmentS in foreign
loans and this gives the investor the
opportunity to realize the full inter
est return.
'The second advantage Of the
farm loan is the early maturity. the
purchaser OF bond Of a railway
company cannot get his money back
from the company for, perhaps, thir-
" or maybe fifty years. His only
way Of recovering his principal is to
sell his bond to some other investor.
This always involves the risk OF de-
probation in the principal. The In
yestor may have purchased bis bono
for los and when he comes to sell
1t It may have declined to SS.l-z,
owing to a falling off in the demand
for securities OF that character. The
bond is still perfectly good; his In
terest will be paid regularly, but he
has sustained a loss on the capital
value of his investment. The inves-
tor in a farm mortgage, however,
can get his money back from the
borrower at the end Of three or five
years.
1.-THE third point in favor of the
farm mortgage Is closely connected
with that just mentioned, and is the
greater control which the investor
has over his investment. Provision
is usually made in the mortgage for
an indefinite extension from year to
year, at the expiration of the first
term named in the instrument. When
this provision is included, II the in
weston wishes the return OF his prin-
cipal at the end of the term he can
have it, and II he wishes a longer
term investment he usually allows
the time to run from year to year;
since a good farmer can make more
than 6 per cent. by investing money
in buildings and improvements and
in land. At the end of any year,
however, the mortgage can be called
up and the investor can get his mon
ey."

THIS MEANS BUSINESS.

The Shawnee County Taft club,
with two thousand members, has
started a movement to enlist all can
didates for nominations on the Re-
publican ticket, for either state, dis
trict or county offices, in an effort
to keep off the Republican ticket all
candidates for presidential electors
who will not pledge themselves to
support Taft or Sherman. The move
ment is expected to spread to other
counties of the state and it is calcu-
lated to make the going heavy for
all Republican candidates who are
in sympathy with the plan adopted
by Governor Stubs to secure the
nomination of Republican candidates
for electors who will vote for Roose-
Welt if chosen to the electoral col
lege.
Under this plan all candidates for
Republican nominations are to be
asked, before the primary election
August 6, to pledge themselves in
writing to support Taft and Sherman
and to withhold their support from
any candidates who seek to either
directly or Indirectly deprive Taft
and Sherman of the benefits of the
nominations made at the Republican
national convention in Chicago. It
is expected by the officers of the
Taft clubs that at least fifty thous-
and Taft Republicans in Kansas will
join in this movement and they will
hold their support at the primary
from all candidates who decline to
sign the pledge. While there is no
open threat there Is suggestion in
the movement that the members will
also hold their support at the cleo
ton in November from candidates
who are successful at the primary de-
spite their refusal to sign the Taft
pledge.
The organization does not seek to
bind candidates to vote for Taft cleo
tors in November but it does insist
that all Republican candidates shall
help at the primary to make Taft
men the nominees for presidential
electors. Fred B. Stanley the new
national committeeman from Kan
sas is in sympathy with the move
ment although he was a strong Roose-
welt supporter before thee national
convention. Mr.. Stanley has served
notice on Governor Stubs, Arthur
Capper and other Roosevelt men with
whom he was associated in the pre-
liminary campaign that the Republic
can electoral ticket must be made up
of men who will support Taft and
Sherman and his attitude in connec-
ton with the action of the Taft clubs
is expected here to lead to the cir
culation of petitions or put Roose-
welt electors on the general election
ballot as Independent candidates 1t
is certain that every candidate who
upholds the political skull-druggery
proposed by the Stubs crowd will
be beaten in November-and ought
to be.

The Topeka Capital insists tnat
the Republican electors may declare
for the nominee of the new National
Progressive party and yet remain on
the Republican ticket. Does the Cap
itaI hold that Republican electors
instead of vcoting for the nominee
Of the party may declare for Wilson
or Debs and yet remain on the bal
lot? If that is the morality of the
progressives the state wants to know
it--and the voters will act accord
ingly. There will be one OF the most
beautiful cleanings up of the ticket
that Kansas has seen since the nine
ties.
