WEIRD BLACKHAND LETTERS.
Wilson Man and Girl Are Threatened
With Death.

Ellsworth, Kan, Feb. 11.-Follow-
ing closely upon the Langerman
bIackmail case at Wilson, comes an
other series of threatening letters
claimed to have been received by
Julius Smith, a laborer OF wilson,
which also involves a country school
teacher.
Smith claims that these letters were
nushed under a door of his home. He
saws that one of the letters was ad-
dressed to him and the other to Miss
Stone, a school teacher, who IS teach
ing north of Wilson. AS directed in
the letter addressed to him, Smith says
he delivered the other letter to Miss
Stone in person The letter addressed
to Smith follows:
"Say Smith you must take her or
we will kill you to. You must take
tha Letter to her Miss Stone the theer
north.'
is as follows:
''Say Miss we mad out hat you and
Smith must get marriage or we will
Civ you till Monday If not we will Kill
you Miss Stone.
smith is a laborer at Wilson. His
wife died about six months ago, and
he has six children.
County Attorney Bartlett has in
vestipated the case. Evidence that has
been gathered makes it very probable
that an arrest will be made soon.

THIN FOLKS MADE FAT
The Way Samose Works It's Wonders
Guaranteed by Stansfield.

More than half the readers of The
Topeka State Journal would give al
most anything to be plump and rosy
instead of thin and scrawny.
Physicians and chemists for years
have studied the problem of making
a flesh forming food, but it is only
within the last few months that a
bright man discovered the prescrip-
ton that taken with the daily meals
gives a positive increase in flesh. In
fact, it was so certain in its action
that a guarantee was attached TO
each package stating that if weight
did not increase as a result of using
it, the purchase price would be re-
funded.
This preparation is now put up in
convenient form for use under the
name of SamoSe.
Geo. w. Stansfield, druggist, 632
Kansas ave-, has secured the agency
in Topeka for Samose and as the per-
centage of satisfactory results from
the use of this prescription is so near
1y one hundred per cent he feels
there is no risk in offering to refund
the money if Samose does not do all
that is claimed for it
Everybody that is thin and out of
health should begin today the use of
Samose with a guarantee like this.

CUPID WINS RACE WITH LAW.
Immigration Inspector in Russell to
Deport Woman, Sees Wedding.

Russell, Kan, Feb. 11.-Cupid
played in a new role successfully in
this city when he cheated J. H. Allen,
United States immigration inspector,
out of job of deportation for which
he came from St. Louis to Russell to
perform. 1t was an even race and
Cupid and the inspector came under
the wire neck and neck, but Mr.. AL
len was so delighted with Cupid's des-
peration to win out, and his extreme
courtesy in extending an invitation to
the inspector to attend the ceremony,
that he is perfectly satisfied with the
result.
Mrs. Eva Wunsch, who came to
America less than a year ago, had been
left widow with a family of small
children and had no means of support.
The law required that twelve respon-
sible men go on her bond to guarantee
her support or she must be deported
with her children to Russia, whence
she came.
John Weidman, a well to do citizen
of this county, had been going to see
Mrs. Wunsch, and when he learned of
Mr.. Aliens mission to Russell he Sc
cured a marriage license and the ser
vices of the Rev. Walter Berg and an
nounced the hour of the ceremony,
which was performed at the home of
Henry Ebel, friend of the bride.

Mothers Advice
To Her Daughter
a Real Live Doll to Fondle To Woman
Greatest Happiness.

One Of the most important matters about
which women concern themselves is their
future status as grandmother. And she
is wisdom itself who knows of or learns
of that famous remedy, Mothers Friend.
This Is an external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. 1t GER
tainly has a wonderful influence allays all
fear, banishes all pain. is a most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits her to go through the
period happy in mind, free in body and
thus destined to anticipate woman's sreat-
est happiness as nature intended she should
The action of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive to ex-
pansion. Thus all strain and tension upon
the nerves and ligaments Is avoided, and,
in place of period of discomfort and con-
sequent dread, it is a season of calm repose
and joyful expectation.
There is no nausea, no morning sick
ness, no nervous twitching, none of that
constant strain known to SO many women,
hence Mothers Friend is really one of the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
had Of any druggist at S1.00 bottle, and
is sure to prove of inestimable value, not
only upon the mother. but upon the health
and future of the child. Write to Bradfield

FRANK LEM is DEAD.
Salina Mans Remarkable Fight for
Life Ends.

Salina, Kansas, Feb. 11.-Frank
LEM is dead. Death came at St.
Mary's hospital in Kansas City, where
he has been for the past two months,
having first gone there for an opera
ton which it was hoped would restore
him to strength and health
The story of Frank LEM is familiar
to every one in Salina and many
throughout the state. Some five years
ago, while riding a horse, the saddle
girth broke and he was thrown under
the animal in a way that caused him
considerable injury. AS he was re-
covering from this, in attempting to
stop a horse that was running away
with a little girl, he received kick
that resulted in the complete loss of
the use of his body and limbs from the
waist down. The little girl was I'M
injured.
His situation was unusual. He had
no relatives on whom he could rely;
he was not a naturalized citizen of this
country, and his own land acknowl-
edged no claims; but his pleasing per-
sonality and optimistic spirit won him
friends in Salina who did everything
they could to make him comfortable
and to aid him to better health.

CONVICT LIQUOR MEN.
County Attorney of Ellsworth Fills Jail
With Offenders.

Ellsworth, Kan, Feb. 11-For the
first time in many years the Ellsworth
county jail is full of prisoners, the
most of them being vioIators of the
prohibitory law. County Attorney Sam
uel Bartlett has been busy this term
of the district court, and secured con-
victions on so counts of selling liquor,
there being more than a dozen defend
ants.
Judge Dallas Grover has not pro-
nounced sentence on the defendants
as yet, but it is announced that this
will be done early next week. The
most of the convicted persons are in
Jail while two or three are out on
bond. Among the prisoners in Jail are
two women, one of them with a baby
in her arms. None of the prisoners are
from Ellsworth but they come from the
smaller towns of the county, Wilson
and Hollywood both contributing
large share.
Securing a conviction on 50 counts
of unlawful liquor selling in one term
of court in this county is a record
breaker.

Woman, Drawing Pension, Not

| Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. n.-After an
absence of forty years, Newton s.

! George P. Eddy, of Hutchinson. The
latter, however, has been dead for
twenty-eight years, so there are no en-
barrassing complications now that Mrs.
Eddy's first husband has practically
returned from the dead.
Disappeared Al Years Ago.
| 1t was in 1872, forty-one years ago,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Clothier resided in
West Point, Mo-, that he disappeared
from home one day. He was heard
| wife and family moved to Kansas, To-
eating in Reno county, and later NOV
ing to Stafford county.
Eight years after the mysterious dis
appearance of her husband, and on
getting good information that he was
dead, Mrs. Clothier married. George P.
Eddy, who lived on a farm near Hutch
inson. Mr.. Eddy died in 1889. Since
then the widow has been staying with
her children, Mrs. Eula Smith, of
Wichita; Alva CIothier, of Alva, Okla,
and VIM. Clothier, of Sidney, Neb. At
present she is with her daughter at
Wichita.
CIothier is now 70 years old For
forty-one years he has been roaming
the world, but no one knows where he
has been.

The Estate Was Divided.
Not only was Clothier counted dead
by his wife after she had secured the
country for years after his disappear
ance to find traces of him. His rela-
tives and friends also gave him up as
lost, when his father died, on farm
near Hutchinson, ten years ago, and
the question of dividing the estate
came up. After advertisements had
been inserted in papers in various parts
and no word came from him, the es-
tate was divided among his three chill
dren. Their shares they possess now.
A strange coincidence is the fact that
both husbands served four years in the
Civil war on the union side.

KANsAN INvENTs DESTROYER
His Gun VIII Prevent Attacks b.
Aeroplane.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE
aeroplane as an engine of war is
doomed to defeat. At least that is the
prediction of o. Jones of Dodge City,
Kan. Mr.. Jones bases his forecast on
a recent invention which he tells about
in a letter to the authorities at Fort
Leavenworth With the present army
ordnance Mr.. Jones fears for the safe
ty of the Panama canal. He points
out that it would be an easy matter
for aerial craft to soar over the water
way, drop a few bombs and destroy
the locks or defense works.
Nothing like this could happen if
the government adopts a gun recently
designed by the short grass inventor.
Mr.. Jones describes his gun at some
length. He says that it is mounted on
an automatic truck and can be ham
died to shoot at any angle. In case
the flying machine shooting is poor,
the gun can be used as light artillery,
the designer says. Mr.. Jones was re-
ferred to the ordnance department at
Washington.

their confession to Chief of Police

They said that hunger drove them
to robbery and they were eating in a
restaurant near the shoe shop when

were bell boys in local hotels, they
said. When they lost their jobs they
tramped all over the city seeking new
