PROBE LIQUOR CONDITIONS.
Montgomery Summons 100 Prominent
Men in Atchison.

Atchison, Kan, Aug. 2O.-There is
more excitement in Atchison as a re-
suit of prohibitory laws than at any
other time since Attorney General Cole
man started the liquor crusade in Kan
sas seven or eight years ago.
Tuesday Sheriff Colgan and Deputy
Sheriff Fred Ashe began the serving of
over a hundred subpoenas for men
whom Assistant Attorney General w.
P. Montgomery suspects of knowing
something about the moral condition
of things in AtchiSon.
Among the men summoned to appear
before Mr. Montgomery at Sheriff Col
cams office Friday, are many of the
most prominent men in the city. They
are men prominent in business and
many hold public offices, while nearly
all the members of the police force are
on the list.
Sheriff Colgan received a great bunch
of the papers and Immediately began
serving them. They include men in ev-
cry part. of AtchisOn vounty and men
engaged in every known vocation.
Montgomery said over the telephone
that he would send another bunch of
papers to the sheriff. He will hold the

SMALL BOY FEELS COYOTE.
Aided by Family Dog-They k1ll 1t
Was Stealing Chickens.

Roxford, Kan, Aug. 20.-It might be
expected that a man had courage to
attack a coyote but few would expect
that a couple of children would make
away with one of the chicken thieves.
However. Willie and Pearl Armstrong
assisted by a dog, put one of them
out of business one day last week. The
children were out herding and a bolO
coyote ventured close to them, when
the faithful dog, who considered it one
of his duties to protect the children IN
terfered. The dog engaged the Won
in a catch-as-catch-can encounter but
held on most of the time and here is
where Willie "a boy of years took
hand in the proceedings. Armed with
a broom handle he sailed in and with
a few well directed blows rendered the
animal UNCONSCIOUS and the dog fin
ished up the job. No doubt the chill
dren are proud of their days work ana
besides this the ears of the coyote vii
bring them d dollar when presented at
the proper county office at Hoxie.

CURE FOR WAGGENER.
Sympathizer Tells Him How to Avoid
Another Operation.


Atchison. Kan. Aug. 20.-Balie P.
Waggener receives letters almost
daily from all parts of the United
States offering him advice and RENE
dies to cure his ailments, but the fol-
lowing from Agency, Mo-, is perhaps
the most unique of all:
Dear Mr.. Waggener: I hope you
will try and get a nickers worth of
corks and put them in an iron kettle,
and boil them until they are crisp.
Then take rolling pin and roll them
till they are fine. Then sift them and
mix them with lard and apply to the
sore place, and see the results. NO
more knife, money, or suffering after
that. For Gods sake try it. and don't
delay. Have in readiness also pruneS,
soaked over night. Take SIENNA leaves,
make SIENNA tea; strain and cool. MIX
with prunes Be sure and don't let II
stand with the leaves after coounS.
Eat them, and the cause OF the opera
ton will disappear. 1 often thought
of sending this as L did not think an
other operation was awaiting. Human
suffering is hell. 1t wears the body

cure, and wears nobody out unless you
wish"

IN SIXTH DISTRICT
Norton Will Hold Fair Despite
DrOuth and Hot Weather.
Don't Affect Work of Cupid
No Destitute There.

Norton. Aug. 2O.-The thirteenth an
nuaI fair of the Norton County Agri-
cultural association will be held here
Aug %, 81. % and 90. Many counties
in the state have pulled their fairs or
this year, on account of the crop dlsas-
ter. but the people of Norton county
have always put on a good show of
grains, fruits stock and horse racing,
and they say that a county like Nor
ton. which has always given the pa
irons the worth of their money, can
afford to miss d fair even if the crops
have been disfigured by drouth. There
will be a large show of exhibits in the
several departments. The fair direc-
tors have reduced the prices of admis-
sion to 81. 90 for season tickets and 20
cents for general admission. Besides
the directors. officers and fair boosters
say they can't afford to lay down be-
cause of the partial loss of crops.
Norton will be one of the few coun-
ties in the Sixth Congressional district
to hold a fair this year. B. V. Wheeler,
president of the Fair association. and
NJ. F. Clarity. the secretary, are work
ing like beavers to make the fair n
success. and they are daily in receipt
of letters from prominent horse men
that they will be present. The entry
list of horses is over 100, which is the
largest since the association was or
ganized
The Norton fair has always been sue
cessful financially as we'll a in eXhib
it's. and the thirteenth meet of the as
ISOLATION will be fully up to former
years. Hence the proud title that Nor
ton does things successfully has been
rightfully earned
One of the happy surprises to the
Norton people was the marriage of H.
l. Stevens. of this city to Miss Wini-
fred Chamberlin, q former resident
here and now living in Nebraska. Why
any Kansan has to go across the state
line for a life partner is the more sur
prising to the people of Norton. The
happy couple are now on their wedding

assistant postmaster at Norton for six
years and has given universal satisfac-
ton His bride is one of the prettiest

The Power of
the Press


When people used to
talk about "the power of
the press" they referred to
the tremendous power pos
sessed by newspapers in
influencing public opinion.
That power still exists and
exerts its influence, good
or bad, as the case may be,
depending upon the princi-
pies and policies of each
particular publication.
But newspapers WELD
another great influence
upon the public mind. 1t
is the far reaching effect
of advertising. Just read
carefully through the adj
vertising columns of THE
Topeka STATE JOUR-
NAL today with this
thought in mind, and then
contemplate how intimate
ly this advertising news
affects the daily lives of
readers and you will have
at least some idea of the
advertising power of the
press.
The news columns tell
people what they need to
know about the events of
the day. The advertising
columns furnish facts that
are invaluable to the con-
duct of their daily lives
information of which ev-
cry oug h t f III reader
takes advantage.
