WELCOMES SLIT SKIRT.
Pittsburg Mayor and Police Won't Mo-
lest Fashion Slaves.

Pittsburg. Kan. Aug. 21.-The slit
skirt can have a home in Pittsburg-
Mayor Skourup, the police judge, the
city attorney and the chief of police
won't modest wearers. A Pittsburg
girl, the daughter of a merchant, ap-
peared on Broadway wearing a real
genuine slit skirt. The spectacle Gre
ated a small sensation and made rub
bernecks even of sober old residents
who happened to be strOlling down
town.
Mayor Skourup was asked if the slit
skirt was to have the freedom of the
city. Il don't pretend to be an au-
thority either on dress or morals" he
said, but the constitution guarantees
the right to the pursuit of happiness
and 1 take it that means the pursuit
of comfort. Maybe the slit skirt IS
more comfortable than others. L can't
see in the wearing of the slit skirt
yesterday any cause for alarm. shall

Constipation and
Heat Often Fatal
Regularity of Bowels Very ImpOr-
tant to Health at This Time.

At no time of the year should peo-
pie be more careful of the condition
of their bowels than in hot weather
Many things may cause constipation
in summer, but whatever it may be
the trouble should be promptly rem
edied. a constipated person lays
himself or herself open to serious and
often fatal diseases. That feeling of
congestion, lassitude or dull headache
is the first warning of trouble.
Don't try to remedy it by the eX-
cessive eating of fruit, which usually
has a laxative effect but lacks action
in extreme cases. What is needed is
a reliable but mild laxative-tonic like
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take a
dose of it at night before retiring-it
is pleasant-tasting and free from
griping-and by morning your bow
els will be emptied and your head
clear. You will feel energetic again.
YOU cannot obtain such results with
SafharticS. purgatives, salts or pills,
as unlike DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep
sin. they are without tonic value and
entirely too harsh. Among the thou
sands of dependable converts to
Syrup Pepsin are the families of Mr.
F. c. Harris. Live Oak. Fla, who now

Buried Bodies in a Trench.
"On Saturday the 22nd day OF
August, 1868, great crowds of people
were in Lawrence viewing the
smouldering ruins of the homes and
business houses which had been des-
troyed the day before by Quantrell S
BUSH whackers, and farmers came in
their teams and plows and road
scrapers, and a great trench 12O feet
in length and 8 feet wide and feet
deep was eXcavated and afterwards
lined with boards secured from the
lumber yard.
Into this trench already floored
with lum Der the bodies of a great
many unidentified persons were laid
side by side with a single board par
tition between the bodies, and on top
of these were placed hastily prepared
lids to protect them from the dirt that
was afterwards piled in on them.
THE weather at that time was just
as hot and severe as it is today and
you can readily understand that de-
composition would rapidly take place
and the undertakers of the city and
surrounding towns were unable even
to supply collins enough to provide
for a regular burial of those whose
bodies were recognized by their
friends and relatives. In the
destruction of the town, quite a num-
Der were consumed in the fire that
destroyed the dwellings and buildings
into which their bodies were thrown
by these murderouS ruffians, and the
list of those identified does not in any
manner of means cover the actual
losses of that terrible daX.

seven hundred ballots. He is a pro-

Fort Scott, Kan, Aug. 21.-The fly
swatting contest started. They are
being brought in each day by
the hundreds, and from 90 to 80
youngsters are so mad at flies they
would just as soon swat a million of

AS far as the contest has gone, Har-
Ian Holstein holds the record and up

This, in substance, is the verdict of
hundreds of automobile tourists who

irrigation has never before had such a
chance to exhibit it's value to this sec

of good crops the state over the irri-

do no more than hold their own with

On Monday, November goth, 1898,
The Daily Sentinel made its first
appearance. L. n. Bunting and How
ard T. Lee were the founders and
publishers. Both OF these men are
now gone from the earth, but their
creation, The Daily Sentinel, con-

to its control and upbuilding have
left an impression on the paper which
will last while the paper lasts. Es-

On November goth, 1918, The

BANK BILL
REPORTED
Caucus Turns Measure Over to
House; Fundamentals Are
Enumerated by Glass
Associated Press.

XVyASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-The ad-
" ministratiun currency bill, ap-
w proved by the democratic eau
Gus, was reported to the house today
from the committee on banking by
Chairman Glass. A minority repub-
lican report was presented by Repre-
sentative Hayes OF California.
The committee expressed its belief
that any effective legislation on
banking must include the following
fundamental elements: the creation
OF joint mechanism for the extern
sion of credit to banks which possess
sound assets and which desire to Ii
quidate them for the purpose of meet
ing the legitimate commercial agri-
cultural and industrial demands of
their clientele; the ultimate retire
Rent of the present bond-secured
currency with n suitable provision
for the fulfillment of the govern
ment's obligations to its bondhold-
ers, coupled with the creation of
satisfactory flexible currency to take
its place; provision for the better
extension OF American banking ia
cilities in foreign countries, that our
trade may be enlarged. Beyond these
cardinal propositions the committee
had not deemed it wise at this time
to make recommendations.
Crediting the present financial sys-
TEN with the chief responsibility for
the various panics of the last half
century. the report says that the pro-
posed federal reserve banks would
have available at least $550,00O, 900
of reserve cash, which would compare
iavorably with the resources of gov
ernment banking institutions abroad.
The republican report opposed the
provision which compelled the ma
tional banks to subscribe to the capi-
tai stock of the federal reserve banks,
characterizing it as of doubtful con-
stitutionality."
