FLESH FORMING FOOD

When you buy a package of Samose,
the great f1esn-forming food, weigh
yourself and see how much you gain In
the first weeks use. Geo. w. Stansfield,
druggist, 632 Kansas avenue, will tell
of many of his customers who a month
or so ago were thin, pale and haggard,
but who are now, through the use OF
Samose, pulmp, strong and happy, with
perfect health and attrac e --esh. He
has seen so many instances of the
wonderful power of SamoSe to restore
the weak and sick to strength and
health, and to make good natural flesh
that he gives his personal guarantee
with every package of Samose he sells
to refund the money if it does not
prove satisfactory.
Samose IS pure preparation, and
can be used with absolute confidence
by the most delicate. 1t gives remark

1t builds up the thin. pale, puny girl

STRAY WADDE,LL RETURNS.
Bank Robber Is ParoIed From Pen

Dodge City, Kan, Aug. 1.-f'Stray'
WaddeH, sentenced to 15 years in the
penitentiary at Lansing about a year
ago for blowing $500 out of the
Ford State bank at Ford, few miles
south of here, is in Dodge paying
social calls to the parties he met dur
ing his prosecution and conviction.
Governor Hodges recently paroled
Wadde1 because the prisoner has a
critical case of locomotor ataxia. Two
years ago he and his three accom-
pHceS in the sensational Ford bank
ROBBERY were the most wanted men in
western Kansas. Two of the accom-
pIlceS are now serving sentences at
Lansing. The third, who drove the
auto in which the gang escaped, is
dead. Each of the men made sensa-
tional escapes from the authorities fol-

BIG SNAKE STORY
COncOrdia Printer Traps Bull
Which is IL or IL Feet Long.
SubStantiates Story by EXhib-
ing Evidence.

Concordia, Aug. 1.-Of all the
snake stories heard this summer none
can compare with the one told by
Chas. Barnhill, foreman at the Blade
office, but Mr.. Barnhill can prove his
story, as he brought the snake to
town with him. People have been
advocating the bull snake as house
pet, but when the same people look
at this snake they change their mind.
Mr.. Barnhill and his family were in
the country to spend the day with
friends, but after finding the snake
they decided that town looked better
to them.
The snake was caught by John
Maddox and Chas. Barnhill on the
Maddox farm, five miles southwest of
town. While walking up a road close
to corn field they saw it coiled up
under their feet. Maddox picked up
club and struck it and slightly
dazed it. One of the men held a
forked stick over its head, and stood
upon a branch laid across it's body,
while the other man went to the
house for a box
The snake is one of the largest that
was ever caught in this country. Its
length is between II and II feet It's
body is about 6 inches in circum-
ference when the lungs are expanded
and its head is about six inches long
Several of the farmers in the neigh
pofhood tell of seeing gigantic
snake around here several years ago
and it is probable that this is the
same snake, since snakes will live
from SO to 100 years unless they meet
with a tragic DEATH
Scientists would call the captive
p1thyophis sayibellona. 1t is called
the western pine snake or more COM
monty the bull snake.
ThlS snake at the Blade office has
been seen to swallow an egg whole
or a large toad and it is believed it
can swallow a full grown rabbit 1t
is a fighter and seems ready for ac-
ton any minute.
Concordia can now claim the dis
t1nct1on of raising the largest snakes
IN the central part of the United
States, as well as being the hottest
and coolest point.

NEGROES ARE SPECIAL POLICE

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. Am effort
to call a general strike in sympathy
with the teamsters and chauffeurs
strike was started at meeting of the
teamsters' union Tuesday. No definite
action was taken, it being decided to
wait until the union officers had con
ferred with the leaders of the Central
Labor union
The first fatality Of the strike oc-
Cured when crowd interfered with
an ice wagon in charge of six men on
whom special police powers had been
conferred. When the crowd began
throwing bricks and tried to prevent
the wagon moving the special officers
shot, killing C'aud Lewis. negro ele-
vator man, and wounding four others
one fatally.
The special officers were taken to
the police headquarters, but were re-
leased without being slated on their
own recognizance.
Another crowd was fired upon by
William Whorton. a negro, when the
wagon, owned and driven by himself
was attacked Jack Long, teamster
was wounded in the right leg. Whor
ton was arrested There were several
other minor disorders, but no one was
seriously injured.
The police continued making numer
Gus arrests Among those taken in Gus
tody was Henry Friedman, promi
nent labor and political leader ano
wealthy He was charged with inter.
fering with an officer He was released
later.
A proposed parade of strikers did
not materialize. Mayor Wallace. as
soon as he heard of the plan, issued a
proclamation order for the police to
stop any attempted demonstration
The police kept the crowd constantly
on the move and did not give the pa
rade a chance to form.
The accumulation of garbage Is be-
coming a serious question. No garb
age had been collected in the city
since Saturday. One hotel notified the
city board of health it had 100 barrels
of garbage on hand and asked what to
do with it. City Sanitarian Herman
Morgan has asked that all residents
sprinkle lime over the garbage to pre-
vent the possible outbreak of disease.
An appeal for congressional inves-
tigation into labor conditions in In
dianapolis was telegraphed to United
States Senators John W. Kern and B.
F. Shively.
