But after four years doctoring with
six different doctors, without results,

stipation, appendicitis and other all

couraged to try Mayr's Wonderful

a friend similarly afflicted. 1 also

and am sure this medicine will do all
and more than is claimed for it, 1t
is simple, harmless preparation that
removes the catarrhal mucus from the

including appendicitis. One dose will

Speaking of the attitude of the
miners toward possible new court ac-
ton against the check off President
harrington said:

Obeying an order from the land of

Hanson, of Oakland, he declared in
the district court Monday afternoon
when he was granted a divorce from
his wife, formerly Miss Florence Ruff
fuer. Shortly after his first wife died.
Hanson said, he was approached by
Miss Ruffuer, q professed spiritualistic
medium, who stated that she had re-
ceived a message from his dead wife
advising him to marry her. Hanson
did so. They left on their honeymoon
with about $3.50, he said, of which he
gave his wife $500. She left him at
Chicago and returned to Topeka, he
stated, where she succeeded in obtain
ing a deed to his property. On a show
ing that his wife had been guilty of
gross neglect of duty Hanson OBJ
tanned a divorce and also recovered
the title to his property.

ono of the streets of Topeka being
owned by a private individual was
presented TO the commission this
morning by w. S. Hancock, commits
siOner of public works. There is
section of the street at the corner of
Western avenue and First street
which has been owned by D. F. Nal
lory. who secured a tax title to the
property. The city today bought NAL
lory's title to the ground in question
for the sum of s62. which is to be
paid out of the street departments

way to secure possession of the land,
rather than to wait and condemn it in
the usual way, Hancock assured the
Commiss. oners. Commissioners Stan

with some suspicion until
Hancock mentioned the fact that ne
was willing to have the land paid for
out of the funds of his department,
when the motion to buy the land re-
ce.ved unanimous consent.
