Those Who Look the Best and Buy
Fewer Clothes Have Their Cloth
Ing Dry Cleaned.

There are two ways OF always
looking the best One is TO buy suit
often-which is very expensive; the
other way is 10 make arrangements
for us to call every week or two and
clean and press your clothi8g. Our
charge for this work Is very small.
Wen call for your clothing, dry
clean IL. press II carefully and re-
turn it to you in a jiffy. Well do
this every week or every other week
In this way your clothing wears
twice as long and looks fresh and
clean all the time. The old idea that
your clothing only needed pressing
after being caught out in the rain
was exploded long ago. Nowadays
men have their clothes cleaned and
pressed regularly.
Let US press your clothing for one
month. Let us show you how much
better il looks. II won't cost you
much Our Rebuilt System Of Dry
Cleaning is the most improved method
of cleaning clothes. We added an ex-

QUARREL is NOT NEW.
Attempt Made Some Time Ago
by Lawrence People
To Compel Road to Carry Pas
sengers From There.

The Rock Island Railway company
filed suit today in the federal court
against John S. Dawson, attorney gen
torney of Wyandotte county, to re-
strain them and their successors in
office from attempting to enforce a
Kansas law of 1905, which requires
all regular passenger trains to stop
Kansas City, Kan, and to restrain
them from attempting to enforce the
law or collect penalties of $4,000 per
day against the company for failure
to observe that statute.
The bill of complaint shows that
the Rock Island has no railroad from
Kansas City to Topeka, but merelv
enjoys trackage rights over the Union
Pacific under 999 years lease. This
lease does not give the Rock Island
any right to do any local business be-
tween Topeka and Kansas City, Kan.
Mr. Meek county attorney, has
brought suit in Wyandotte for $685.

number of grounds to show the 1nval1d1ty

Heretofore the state has never seriously
attempted to enforce this act against the
Rock Island. Attorney General Dawson
about two years ago advised the railroad
commission that this act was not en-
forced in the city of Lawrence against
the Rock Island for the reason that the
Rock Island had no railroad at that
point.

CAN'T FIND ONE.
Attorney General Says He Has
Trouble to Find Justice.
Fears He Will Get Into Jail If
He Is InQuisitive.

John Dawson's replies today to the
caustic letter of Governor Stubbs in re-
gard to the House case. John wanted
the governor to name the friendly
justice of the peace. The governor re-
piled by declaring that John had
garbled his statements; that he had
demanded a justice of the peace mot
unfriendly" That John go ahead and
get busy and summon House at once
on the strength of the instructions of a
previous letter. The governor, used a
skinning knife on the attorney general
Dawson, in his reply also used the
same kind of knife. The Scotchman
resorted to satire, rhetoric, wit and
serious arraignnrsnt in his reply to the
governor. Dawson admits that he is
unfriendly to the prosecution of House
and gives reasons He returns the
charge of deception with usury
There is a general impression in the
minds of unprejudiced persons that the
governor erred when he wrote the let
ter demanding that the suit be brought
against House before a justice mot un-
friendly to the prohibitOry law That
House, rather than prosecution. And
Dawson, in his reply today takes full
advantage of that error. Dawson says:
