People Beginning to Realize

Hundreds in Topeka Suffer
From Nervous Debility.

Mrs. J. M. Barry of Carbonate,
also well known in Topeka, made the
following statement recently in con-
nection with '"Tona Vita: Mrs. Barry
said: II have been sick for some
time. The doctors could not help me.
1 tried all kinds of medicines with
out relief. I suffered principally with
stomach trouble, kidney and bowel
trouble.
Il slept poorly and my sleep did
me very little good. I seldom had a
good appetite and whenever l did eat
would suffer severe pains.
st got some "Tona Vita and have
taken about five bottles. now feel
for the first time in several months
like we'll, healthy woman. 1 now
seem to get nourishment from my
food and no longer have kidney trou-
BILE or feel tired or depressed. 1 am
~ years old and / think it remark
able that I've got my health back"
''Tona Vita" is breaking all records
in this city. The people here are rap
idly awakening to a full apprecia-
ton of what the preparation will do
for them. Hundreds upon hundreds
in this and other cities are afflicted
with nervous debility caused by the
strain of metropolitan life. The en-
tire system becomes run down in such
cases and nervousness, stomach trou-
BILE, headache, backache, kidney and
bowel trouble dependency and loss
of vitality result.
Enthusiasm continues to prevail
generally where the new product
allied ''Tona Vita" has been used.
The great amount of good which
seems to have been accomplished is
the cause of considerable excitement
by those who have seen it's wonderful
work Case after case of people who
were comparatively nervous wrecks
and those who have been suffering
from stomach trouble for years have
been reported and the results of
s.Tona vita" were said to have been
in nearly every case.
This preparation acts like a true
specific in all cases of debility, re-
pairing all organic weakness, wheth-
er man or woman, and proving a
lasting source of benefit and relief.
When buoyant spirits return and de-
preston gives away to cheerfulness, il
is hard to recognize some of the for
mer sufferers.

chased at The Arnold Drug Company,

HE ENDS HOWE CASE.
Judge Pollock Orders Copy iof Agree
nacnt Filed and Made Binding.

Following q years of litigation the
Parker-Howe land suit, involving the site

The land which has so long been in con-
tr0yersy, includes 80 acres of property in
Oklahoma City, selected as a site for the
new Oklahoma state capitol building.
Henry Howe, father of Ed Howe. the
Atchison editor, settled on the claim at
the opening of the Oklahoma strip. His
claim was contested and. the matter was
appealed to the department of the in
terror. Then the controversy shifted
from one court to another and was still
in litigation when the contestants agreed
on a basis of settlement, rearing the
change of capitol building sites if the iiti-
CATION continued.
Bale p. Waggener. the Atchison law
yer, will receive a fat fee for his services

There is a sheer drop of close to
1900 feet in spots on this road with
but a few inches of stone holding the
outer wheels of your conveyance and
believe me, it is one of the real thrillers
of the country. Johnson said he en-
joyed it but thought more than once
OF his forfeit to appear in the ring at
2 O'Clock Thursday afternoon
Because of the ride and the fact that
Johnson already is down to the weight
at which he will fight Flynn he did
nothing at all although his morning
work on the road was just as faithfully
performed as at any time during his
stay here. He also took long walk in
the evening and then took a trip
around the city.

Flynn, feeling happier. if that were
possible, than he has at any time since
his stay here, went through a few brief
stunts in the afternoon.

DAY USES A BRICK
Street Car Mems Organizer
Assaulted Fake conductor"
Complaining Witness Used as
sJackrabbit" by Company.

Before a jury in Judge Garver's
court, Ezra Day is being tried today
for assaulting Fred L. Howard, a de-
tective in the employ of the Topeka
Street Railway company. Howard was
employed as a "jackrabbit," he said,
and his duty was to shadow Day and
report the mans actions to street rail-
way officials. On June q, Day hit How
ard with brickbat.
Under DISCRIMINATION by Edwin
McKeever today, Howard had an I'M
pleasant half hour In his direct tex-
animation, the witness stated that he
was employed as a conductor, but later
admitted that he had not worked III
that capacity since coming to Topeka
two weeks ago Howard also admitted
that he and two other detectives had
been on the job as strikebreakers and
to prevent the organization of labor
unions and the spread of dissatisfac-
ton among street car operators. These
men have stayed at the National hotel
at the expense of the street railway.
To the jury Howard told of meetin
Day the morning of June n, as the
latter left his rooms at the Blower
annex. Howard and a companion fol
lowed Day across Quincy street &c
Eighth avenue and to a machine shor
facing east on Quincy between Eighth
avenue and Ninth street. Here Day
entered the shop and Howard went t.
the a1leyway 125 feet distant, while
his companion stood guard on Quincy
street.
1t is contended by the state thai
Howard made no demonstration which
warranted an attack and that Day will
fully and maliciously hit him with 2
brick. The. position of the defense is
somewhat different. From the detective
McKeever dragged the information that
the detectives had persistently follow
ed Day and his companions day and
night Howard admitted they had fol-
lowed the man. as he left the meet
ings in Labor hall, but said that his
actions were strictly within his line of
duty and that no actions on his part
warranted Days conduct.
Many witnesses have been called both
for the state and the defense and two
stenographers were provided to tran.
scribe the testimony in the case. It Is
probable that the trial of the case
will occupy the greater portion of the
day In addition to two assistants
from the county attorneys office, Tom
Doran, as attorney for the street rail-
way, is assisting in the prosecution.

East Las Vegas. N. M, July 2.-The

match will take place tonight when
the referee will meet both principals
together and discuss the rules with
them. When this little powwow has
been gone through with there won't be
anything left for the men to do but
get into the ring and start the big bat
tie.
There won't be the slightest hitch
over my Interpretation of the Queens
berry code as far as is apparent on the
surface. It is barely possible that the
ever technical champion may find some
fault somewhere and demand that ne
have his way on this point or that one
but this is a remote happening.
The fighters have to do the fighting
and they will do the way they agree
in advance
But of this you may be sure: The
men will protect themselves at all time,
going into or going out of clinches, and
will not be considered clinched until
both fighters are unable to hit with
either arm. Then they will break upon
command but always stepping back on
guard and prepared to protect them
selves.
Inasmuch as both of the men know
pretty well how to fight there will b'
nc special instructions on either Sue
