IS Topeka SATISFIED?
The Evidence Is Convincing. Tn
Testimony Open to Investigation.

Before a statement can be accepted
here, it must be supported by local
testimony-by the evidence of some-
one residing in Topeka Statements
from unknown people in remote
places may be true. but We cannot
prove them. Here is a statement by
a Topeka man:
Charles Botham. 612 Lake st. To-
peBa. Kan, says: "A severe attack OF
typhoid fever left my kidneys badly
discrdered and after that my back was
constantly racked with pain The pas
eaKes of the kidneys secretions were
irregular and my condition was so Sc
rious that I was slarmed. An adyer-
tisement about Doan's Kidney Pills
induced me to get this remedy at
Rewley,s Drug store, and begin using
It. In a. short time was able to ges
about with the aid of crutches and L
gradually improved until could walk

ON A VACATION
Arthur Capper and Wife Leave
for Panama.
SDend Month Under Southern
CrOSs-NO Contest.

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Capper will
start on a well-earned vacation to-
morrow. They will spend four weeks
on a pleasure trip, with Panama as
the objective point. En- route, they
will spend a few days in New
Orleans.
While making his arrangements to
leave the city, Mr.. Capper stated posi-
lively that there would be no contest
for the governors chair
Il have been urged to lend my
name to a contest suit, said Mr..
Capper today, but have steadfastly
refused. That has been my stand ever
since election. So far as am con-
cerned it is a closed incident. Be-
-lieving that 1 am entitled to a vaca-
ton, I leave tomorrow. with the in
tention of having a good time, and
refuse to worry about politics..
Mr.. Capper has just closed a siren
uous year. His active campaign for
the governorship, added to the man
agement of his large newspaper in
terests, kept him at work about 10
hours a day, and his friends have
urged him to take good rest.

THE LECoNIPToN CONSTITUTION
(New York American }

tNtW lOIh ADAtii iCdi.J
In looking over a bundle of papers
the other day which came to him am
ong the effects of an uncle in Kansas,
Justice of the Peace Joheph A. Head
ley of Midtown, NJ j., came across
what appears to be the original draft
of the famous Lecompton constitu-
ton of Kansas, a document for which
the authorities of that state have been
looking for half century.
Judge Headley has written to the
Secretary of state of Kansas telling
him of the find. The Lecompton con-
stitution was the first law of Kansas
which provided for slavery. 1t was
recognized by President Buchanan,
but afterwards supplanted with new
instrument that forbade slavery with
in the state.
