GIVES SHERIFF. CASH FOR FINE.
Farmer Arrested, Tried, Convicted and
Fined. Not in Court.

Great Bend, Kan, Jan. 2O.-If the
action of George Eichmann, a wen TO
do farmer in the north part of this
county is followed generally the office
of sheriff can be dispensed with and
the courts can use the mails to con-

son of a neighbor who he claims broke
down a gate for him and in the argu-
ment which followed hit the boy on
the head. The boys father had war

and when the sheriff arrived ElcnInan an
admitted the fact and gave the sheriff
$50 to cover expenses and did not
come to court at all. The Justice as
sessed a fine and cost of $50, and the
balance of the money was returned TO

Will Frank Chance make good as
leader of the New York Yankees?
is a query that has been propounded
many a time and oft since the peer
less leader put his signature to a
New York contract the first of the
month. Columns and pages of news
paper space have been used up IN one
continuous discussion of the prob
lem.
OF course We'll all know before the
end of the 1913 season, but no one
seems willing to wait that long.
Hence the experts have been called
in.
Jimmy Callahan of the Chicago
White Sox declares that Chance will
sure make good; no doubt about it.
zoe Tinker is equally certain of the
same thing. Fielder Jones, president
of the Northwestern League, however,
who is just as good at prophecy as
any man in the game, insists that
Chance will be a failure.
-IoC Tinker says Chance could take
a bunch of nine school boys and
make a showing in either major
league. If P. L. can do that, he

DID GIRL SHOOT HERSELF?
Emporia Maid Who Came North With
Man May Die.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 2O.-Ola Allen

woman arose before daylight and,
taking a revolver, went to an out
building on the property of her step
father. G. NJ. Barber. The report of
the gun was followed by the appear
ance of the girl with a bullet wound
through her abdomen.
Miss Allen refuses to make a state

suicide is held An official investi-

| a showing with a bunch that now
makes up the New York American
League club.
The Yankees have three or four
strong men. There's a couple of fair
pitchers. One of them is Ford, and
he ranked at the tail end of the pitch
ing list in 1912. Cree is a good out
fielder and Hal Chase is a first rate

Aside from these men the Yankees
aren't much. How different it was

Steinfeldt and Tinker and Evers and
Chance on the infield; Brown Over

King and Archer catching; Holman
Schultz and Sheckard in the outfield.
That was a combination with which
any leader of ordinary ability might
have been successful.
Chance is great man. He's worth
the big salary that he draws, eor he'll
be a big drawing card for the

Remarkable
Catarrh Cure
Gets Right into the Affected
Parts and Stops Gathering
in Eyes, Nose, Throat
and Lungs.

S'Nine-tenths of humanity suffer with
catarrh but do not know what catarrh
is,'' said an expert doctor, a specialist in
blood analysis. 1t is treated locally be-
cause nature tries to drive it out of the
system. But nature must have help.
Nasal catarrh is merely an outlet, and
1t is folly to expect a cure by inhalants or
local applications. If a stream is pol
1uted at it's source it is ridiculous to
waste time in purification at it's mouth.
BY a long series of elaborate expert
1nentS at the Swift Laboratory it is def
nitely known that catarrh can be cured
by the simple process of inoculating the
blood with antidotal remedies that stop
inf1ammatory conditions throughout the
mucous Innings of all the organs of the
body. This is done with the famous
Swift's Sure Specific, or as it is widely
known, S. S. S. 1t is taken into the
blood just as naturally the most
nouriShing food. 1t spreads its influence
over every organ in the body, comes
through all the veins and arteries, en-
ables all mucous surfaces to exchange in
hammatory acids and other irritating
substances for arterial elements that ef-
fectually cleanse the system and thus put
an end to all catarrhal pollution. S. S. s.
cleans out the stomach of mucous ac-
cumulations, enables only pure blood max
ing materials to enter the inteStines, COM
bines with these food elements to enter
the circulation, and in less than an hour
is at work throughout the body in the
process of publication.
You will soon realize it's wonderful in
fiuence by the absence of headache. de-
cided cle9 ring of the air passages a
steadily improved nasal condition, and
a sense of bodily relief that proves how
completely catarrh often infests the en-
tire system. You will find S. S. S. on
sale at all drug stores at $1.0O per bottle.
1t is a remarkable remedy for any and
all blood affections, such as eczema, rash,
lupus. letter. psoriasis. boils and all scrof-
ulous conditions. For special advice on
any bfod disease write in confidence to

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. 20.-What is con-

librarians, was made by Prof Claude j.
Shirl of Ottawa university last week. 1t
consisted of thirty-four bound volumes
of Harper's Magazine, dating from 1854
to 1883. The volumes, which are part
of the library of the late Prof. Hougham
of Manhattan, were purchased by Prof.
Shirk for Ottawa university. They will
be added to the University library. AS
Harpers was the leading periodical dur

prove almost invaluable to the students
