Fifteen Big SHOWS
REUNION Side ISSUE
Con 7. Kennedy Aggregation Will
Brighten City for Visitors.

One of the big features OF next weeks
reunion is the coming Of the Con T. Ken
nedy shows, which will be located on
the Union Station plaza, in front OF Union
Station. This is an amusement event
which will appeal to all, as It Ii diner
ent from a circus. and caters to the per
sonal discretion OF the patrons. There
are of such a diversified nature that the
most exacting will find Just what they
desire on the roster.
The Con T. Kennedy shows have never
been in Washington before. but they have
exhibited throughout the Southern and
Eastern part OF the country for the last
three years, and are known here by repu-
tation. Many Washington people have
seen them in other cities, and praise
them highly. The press comments have
been very favorable, and the shows are
high class and interesting. Every mod
ern convenience for the comfort and en-
tertainment of the patrons has been pro-
vided. and the midway promises to be
the mecca OF those who enjoy outdoor
amusenents next week.
1t requires Just as much space and Just
as much canvas for the Kennedy shows
as for any OF the large circuses, and
they travel on their own train OF thirty
two cars. There are about $50 employees
and performers with this organization.
many animals and exhibits similar to
those with the large circuses, but the
price of admission to the attractions II
considerably less, and the entertainment
is most novel and inteSesting.
Con T. Kennedy. guiding genius OF the
shows, was raised in an orphan asylum.
and never forgets the poor and little
ones. For the benefit OF the children,
next Wednesday will be "Kiddies' Day
at the Kennedy shows, and children VIII
be admitted to any show for cents This
jitney matinee is always a popular move.
and the kiddies will undoubtedly be out
in force on Wednesday afternoon, to en-
Joy a trip through ''wonderland."

Officer INDICTED

fellow officers and friends outside
the department.
A dramatic feature of the arrest
was the discovery of $50 in mark
ed money on the person of Powers
when he was searched by the ar
resting officers. This money il
held as evidence. The money was
crumpled in wad. The accused
police officer asserts that he is the
victim of "frameup." He says
he found the money on his desk
and was on his way to deposit it as
evidence with the police property
clerk when arrested.
This arrest puts Seattle's police
department in the predicament OF
having its chief, its inspector and
five of its detectives facing some
sort of serious charges, yet all OF
them on duty pending trial.

Feed Your Dyspepsia
Eat Often; Eat Little,' the Mot

EAT Often; Eat Little,' the Mot
to of Famous Stomach Specialist
My husband has constant.
sour, burning sensation in his
stomach, and has not found any
thing that will give him relief.
Can you tell us what will cure
him. also the proper food to eat.
v. I. B.
One of the best specialists In
digestive disorders, lays down this
principle that the stomach must
never get empty. Eat often;
eat little" is his motto. II the
stomach feels faint or empty, eat
a few mouthfuls OF dry bread or
nibble at a cracker, SO that the
craving for food will be satisfied.
By all means chew the food
thoroughly and swallow slowly.
After each meal drink half a
tumblerful of water-not ice cold
in which one or two teaspoon
fuls of ordinary bisurated mag
nesia have been dissolved. This
will neutralize any acidity of the
stomach and overcome the sour,
burning sensation.
Follow these simple directions
and perfect digestion should re-
suit. giving vigor of body and
happy spirits. Sound digestion
leads to optimism as surely as
dyspepsia does to depression and
lmelancholia.

was on Renick when Davis dis
closed the fact that he had been
practicing his Grafton all after
noon. The Lincoln" amend
ment was showed under by a so
to 26 vote.
Boss Grass Busy.
Then came William Bishop of
Jefferson county, the Indian,
whose highest ambition during
the session has been to kill the
memorial.
He offered an amendment to
strike out part of the argument.
Bishops efforts were buried by
thunder of noes" from the
Pierce county side.
And now came the cunning Bob
Grass to the front as the COM
mander-in-chief of the Seattle
attack.
Grass used nearly all the
words in the dictionary trying to
hurl contempt and ridicule on the
memorial. He called it "pusillan-
imous," foolish" "babyish and
silly"
"Then why are you throwing
such a fit about it," Elliott in
terrupted.
Weldon Says Something.
Grass moved for the indefinite
postponement of the memorial.
This was the signal for Repre-
sentative Weldon of Whitman
county, whose voice has been
rarely heard during the session,
to launch a speech which fairly
brought the house down.
In eloquent terms he declared
that Rainier" is "a beautiful,
liquid name. It blows off the
tongue in a liquid manner"
But" he concluded, 81 believe
right now is the time to settle
this dispute once and for all. If
we don't settle it now, we'll have
to settle 1t some time"
The final roll call on the
memorial developed the fact that
Paul Houser of King county, who
did the big thing when the first
! memorial was before the house,
still sat tight for justice to the
mountain. He voted for the Jones
memorial. So did Nelson of King,
while all other King county mem
bers voted solidly against it.
Spokane and other counties
went down the line for Tacoma.
But the fight was not yet won.
Grass still had his trump card up
his sleeve-but so did Jimmie
Davis.
Grass, before the final vote
was announced, had changed his
vote from mo" to aye" Now he
arose to move for reconsideration.
Davis Puts It Over.
Quick as a flash Davis was on
his feet.
"Mr. Speaker" both of them
yelled at once. Speaker Kelly
recognized Davis.
81 move you," said Davis, that
the rules be suspended and the
memorial Immediately transmitted
to the senate"
The attempt of Grass to have
the bill die natural death in the
last rush of the house was defeat
ed. Davis motion carried, SO to
"a.
The battle was won.

julia" She kissed her cousin,
picked Julia's big muff from a
chair. and pressed the soft sables
for a moment to her face. Say.
Mamma" she went on more brisk
ly, I've got company coming to-
night"
"You!" said Julia, smiling.
why, how old are you, child?"
I'm sixteen-nearly," Geral-
dine said stoutly. Didn't you
have beaus when you were six
teen?"
II suppose I did" Julia admit
ted. But you seem awfully
young!"
II thought-maybe you'd go to
the store for me-" said Mrs. Tor
ney. Geraldine glared at her.
"Oh, Lord" Geraldine was be-
ginning, when Julia interrupted
soothingly.
See here, | have the car here;
Chadwick was to come back at
five. Let me send him for the
things! What do we want? I'm
going to stay and eat with you.
Chops for the family-aren' those
quickest? And a quart Of oysters
for mamma, and cake and cheese
and jam and eggs-tell me any
thing you thing Of, Aunt May, be-
cause he might as well do it thor
oughly!"
That night, for the first time in
many months, Julia's thoughts
were not of her own troubles.
She thought of the Shotwell
Street house, and wondered what
had attracted her grandfather and
grandmother to it forty years ago.
She tried to see her mother there,
slender, dark-haired child; tried
to imagine her aunt as young and
fresh and hopeful.
Suddenly she saw the Shotwell
Street house changed, and made
for the first time In it's years of
tenancy, into q home. There must
be paint outside, clean paint, there
must be a garden, with a brick
| path and rose bushes.
Indoors there should be a cool
little orderly dining room and
there should be drawing room
papered in clean tans and curtain
ed in cream color, with an upright
piano and comfortable chairs. The
ugly old storeroom off the kitchen
must be her mothers; it must have
new windows cut, and nothing but
what was new and pretty must go
In there. And the kitchen should
have blue-and-white linoleum,
with curtains and shining tinware.
The easements big unused front
room must be finished in durable
burlaps and grass mating for
Uncle Chester; there must be q
bath upstairs; tTo rooms for Aunt
May and the girls, one for Grand
ma, one for Julia and little Anna.
So much for externals. But what
of changing the tenants to suit the
house? Would time and patience
ever transform Mrs. Torney into a
busy, useful woman? Would Ger
|aldine and Regina develop into
hopeless incompetents or pay Julia
fof all her trouble by becoming
happy and helpful and contented?
'But-who knows?" unused
Julia. 1T may save Geraldine and
Regina from clouding their lives as
| did mine"
She was weary and spent; a
measureless exhaustion seemed to
enfold her. Yet under it all there
glowed some new spark of warm
reinsurance and certainty. THANK
God, / see my way clear at last!"
she said softly.

CHAPTER TX.
Back In ShOtWelI Street.

The kitchen in the old Cox house
formed a sort of one-story annex
behind the building, and had win
dows on three sides, so that on a
certain morning in March, four
years late, sunlight flooded the
two eastern windows and fell In
squares of brightness on the blue
and-white linoleum on the floor.
There were thin muslin sash cur
tains at the windows, and white
shades had been drawn down to
meet them. Some trailing English
ivy made a delicate tracery in dark
green beside one window.
The rest of the large room was
in keeping with this cheerful bit
of detail. There was shining gas
stove beside the shining coal
range, and a picturesque bit OF
color In the blue kettles and cop
per casseroles that stood in a row
ON the shelves above the range
