Finds That Tt Is just What She
Has Been Needing for Years.
SUFFERED WITH CATARRH
Says That Trouble Finally
Went to Her Stomach.
Declares Remedy Banished All
Her Ailments and Is Thankful.

ct have suffered many years with
catarrh,' states Mrs. F. E. Barrett of
Ill East Lewis, Wichita. MY head,
nose and throat gave me no amount
of trouble, and in the last few months
the catarrh had gone to my stomach.
This latest trouble has caused me no
end of miscomfort and unpleasant
ness, such as indigestion, soreness
and gas in my upper and lower bow
els.
'I saw where so many people were
taking Tanlac, and with such wonder
full results, and / thought if the medi-
cine can do so much good to other
people, ma'by it can help me. I pur-
chased three bottles of Tanlac, and
can say that it was the best money
ever spent in my life. 7 could not
believe that such a change could come
over ones condition as that which
came over mine. 1 don't suffer at all
with my stomach, my digestion is
good, the soreness and gas conditions
are completely gone. My catarrhal
troubles have disappeared entirely,
and gladly recommend Tanlac to my
friends who suffer as 1 did,
Taniac, the premier preparation, is
highly recommended for such all
ments as those with which Mrs. Bar
retr was afflicted, and is proving a
great up builder for thousands of peo-
Tanlac acts as a tonic in many ways,
and at this particular time of the year
should prove most beneficial to many
in Topeka and vicinity.
Tanlac can be obtained in Topeka

Ninth and Kansas avenue, where w.
c. Pope, the Tanlac man, is daily
meeting the public from nine to nine.

Will Add Ten Members to the

a means of making the government
more truly representative, according to
"The Daily Telegraph's" Petgograd cor

THE parties on the left Of the
Duma would have preferred an imme-
diate transition to parliamentary
government. but this idea naturally
found many opponents. The othe-
agreement finally was reached.
AT first the ministers were opposed
to the plan, but now they have modified
their views, and at a conference yes

ARREST RICH WAN
AS NOTED FORGER
Detectives Say Barnhardt
Has Been a Criminal
for 46 Years.

St. Louis, Aug. 3O.-Four detectives
approached a gray haired, extensively
dressed man as ne STOOD with MS wife
on a crowded corner here this evening
1--WE want you, Barnhardt, said one.
Without the quiver OF muscle the
old man turned TO his wlte.
"Well. dear, | guess this is about the
and ne said. and follow d the officers.
In the arrest of Barnhardt after a
search Of sixteen years the detectives
saw that they have captured the most
daring. astute and successful criminal
in the United States.
The prisoner. they declare, has cor
fessed fraudulent transactions whicl
extend over forty-six years and when
were staged in almost every big city IN
the country.
For ten years Barnhardt has lived IN
q magnificent home in Forrest CITY,
Ark. where he was the leading citizen
Of the town, director in the largest
hank and supposed to be millionaire.
For wears Barnhardt has made peri
odical trips over the country and re.
turned each time with thousands OF
dollars. The police charge that on each
of these trips he obtained large loans
on fraudulent deeds.
As John ". Kline" Barnhardt is said
TO have appeared here in 1898 and rep
resented himself as a man of indepen-
dent means. He was introduced TO
many men in the real estate business.
One morning he appeared at the ONCE
of a loan and mortgage company. lie
showed a deed to certai.- property, and
was so familiar with I'll details that he
had no difficulty in obtaining a $4,000
cash loan. 80.
The deed proved a forgery, and Kline
was arrested on two charges forgery
and grand larceny He pleaded guilty
10 the latter and wa given two years
in states prison.
Barnhardt's system, according 70 the
detectives, is extremely simple. with
his striking appearance and show OF
ready money, he sought out owners OF
valuable real estate and told them he
wanted 10 buy property. On the pre-
tence that he wished 70 investigate the
titles he would obtain q 2 warranty
deed Then clever forgery OF the
document would be made, and Barn
hardt would appear in nearby COM
m nifty and negotiate the loan.
The system las netted the prisoner
more than 81 100000, the police say,
in twenty years.

citizens. We promise our God TO pro-
tect the flag and the honor Of the

lives"
More than 1000 signatures have been
obtained by Mr.. Biddle, and he said

Germany's Answer May
Be Sent to u. S. To-day
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Aug. 30.-Receipt by
the State Department to-day of
cable dispatch from Ambassador
Gerard was the cause of much specu-
lation in official circles. Secretary
Lansing refused to divulge the
nature of the communication, but it
was said that the Ambassador cabled
that the German note in reply TO the
last note Of this government on the
Eusitania, and including the conclu-
sions of the German government in
the Arabic case, would be started on
its way to Washington tomorrow.
This, however, could not be con-
firmed.
Secretary Lansing maintained his
grave demeanor, and it was evident
that if Ambassador Gerard's mes
sage contained any information as
TO the German governments atti-
tude, it was not of a character 10
advance the case toward an AMIGA
bic settlement. Many officials be-
lieve that the message contained no
forecast of the German attitude, and
that the Ambassador is as much in
the dark as ever as TO what Germany
will propose.
In any event, there is q strong feel
Ing that the next two or three days
will see definite progress toward .
final adjustment II is held unresson-
able to suppose that the submarine
which sank the Arabic can remain much
longer at sea, and with the arrival OF
the craft in home waters il Is expected
that Germany will Immediately com
municate TO this government the sub
stance Of the commanders report.
In German quarters IL was said To-
night that Count Won Bernstorf prob
ably would return 10 Washington from
Long Island on Thursday This WIS
construed to mean that the Ambsssa-
dor looked for action by his govern
ment about that time.
Note to Britain Must Wait.
The President is devoting his stten-
tion almost solely TO the controversy
with Germany Close friends said to-
day that Mr.. Wilson would not con-
slider dispatehing a note TO Great Brit-
ain on restraints on commerce until
the German situation was definitely
cleared up. The President believes that

Britain at this time would result in
confusing the two issues and render
both more difficult Of solution.

GERMAN WAR CHIEFS
AGREE WITH KAISER

England Determined
to Maintain Blockade
fR, c,hl. 10 The Tribune. ]

BS itDtc VI Ah'
London, Aug. 30.-The minutest
attention Is being paid here 10
every move In the Arabic situation.
In no quarter is there the slightest
disposition 10 agree to any modif1-
cation of the blockade in return for
Germany's cessation of the subma-
rine campaign. II Is felt that Ger
many's desire to abandon the sub
marine war Is due to her knowledge
that previous efforts have proved
failures and that she is not building
submarines as fast as they are be-
ing destroyed.
The fact that Germany Is ready
to abandon a species Of warfare
which outrages every canon OF in
ternational law as well as of hu-
manity will not be entertained as a
reason for Britain foregoing a prac-
tice which she regards as perfectly
justified In every way.

In a statement made by DR.. Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, the German I'm
perial Chancellor, on August rs, he
declared that the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking Of the Arabic
had not been fully cleared up, as no
report regarding it lad been re-
ceived, and that it vas not even
known whether a mine or torpedo
from a German underwater crafs
sank the Arabic, or whether the
liner might not have justified by her
actions drastic proceedings by the
submarines commander.
"Only after all these circum-
stances have been cleared up" the
Chancellor added, will it be possible
to say whether the commander of
one of our submarines went beyond
his instructions, in which case the
imperial government will not hesi-
tate to give such complete satisfac-
tion to the United States as would
conform to the friendly relations
existing between both governments"

Berlin, Aug. 80 (via London) 1T
is understood to-day that Germany's
course with regard to the Arabic
case has been decfded on, and that
it is in line with the recent concilia-
tory statement by DR.. Won Beth

cellor.
This development followed the re-
turn to Berlin of the Chancellor,
Admiral Won Tirpitz and others who
took part in the conference with the
Emperor at his headquarters on the
eastern front
No official statement has been
made, but there seems good ground
for the belief that the government
has adopted the viewpoint set forth
by the Chancellor.
