Model Clothing Co, WYLIE OBERQ 'Phone 337 Clay Center of Missouri and other wide awake lawyers who do not Bhirk responsibility but reading the law understand; understanding the law, enforce it. The same law, the same courts, the same public pressure, the same chances for reputation, the same rewards, the same moral influences, were in force, in effect, doing business the past four years and five months when Messrs. Coleman and Williams was an attorney general. MONEY TO LOAN I On Farm and City Property at the Lowest pre- vailing rates. Privilege to pay all or any part after one year.

i AR.GAINS in farm and city property. Ranches wood are devils. In short the Dispatch wants to believe Haywood a martyr, just as it has believed other fellows of the same stamp martyrs, and it wants to believe the mine owners as crushing juggernauts of all that is evil. And there you are. THE BREWERS AND THE SUPREME COURT.

There is something particularly fine, wholesome and four-square about the way the Supreme court, all the way through, has dealt with the questions arising in connection with the business of the foreign brewers. The decisions have followed one another in rapid succession and with every step the Attorney General is nearer the definite goal he started out tor. Also, the decisions have been unanimous and have gone to the soul of the question. Issues have not delayed matters on hair-splitting technicalities. The Attorney General and the court seem to have seen the end from the beginning in the same way.

One question after another has arisen in the course of this litigation, and one obstacle after another raised against the policy of Kansas on the liquor business has been swept aside. It appears that the court has had the main object steadily in view. The power of the State to make its will good not only in theory but in fact, not only preventing direct violation, but the defeat of the law by indirect means, by legal subtleties, technicalities and secret devices of evasion. The last decision of the court, unanimously rendered, brushes aside the cobwebs of sophisticated argument for the brewers and states the situation, as the court sees it, to be, that the brewers complied with the first order only nominally and not in good faith. The order to get out of Kansas is not obeyed when transfer of title to Kansas property is made to friendly parties.

The spirit and substance of the court's decree is to get out and get clear out, and to insure the enforcement of the order, as the Capital understands the last decision, the receivers are directed to sell the property, instead of leaving it to be sold by the brewers, withholding enough to pay the costs of the litiga tion. The brewers have not gained a point so far in this litigation, thanks to the preparedness of Attorney Gen eral Jackson, whose strategy has foreseen every flank move and been there to face it, and thanks to a Supreme court that intends to settle the question whether law is law for the brewers of the country as it is for for horse thieves and streets thugs. Topeka Capital. UNWEPr AND UNSUNG. Mrs.

Helen M. Gougar, the noted temperance lecturer and woman suffragist, died last week. Once about 20 years ago she visited at the Valentine home in Topeka, being an old friend of the head of the house. The legislature was then in session and was pretending to discuss tne woman suffrage question. Mrs.

Gougar was there to see what she could do to help matters along. Valentine senior was a strong woman suffragist; so was the mother until after Mrs. Gougar's visit. That cured her. Although so long ago Mrs.

Gougar is still in perspective sitting at the head of the breakfast table, the morning papers spread out before her, eagerly reading the political news and making spirited remarks about different men, in a loud masculine voice. She would tip her chair back from the table, glance over the editorial page and shoot it into every anti-suffragist in the legislature. Some man had made a carefully prepared speech which she didn't like and she called him a "dirty little yellow dog." The Valentine mother didn't like that bhe was afraid it would have a bad effect on her children. She wished to see her children all properly fixed for school and the housework going in good shape, but Mrs. Gougar thought that immediately after breakfast they ought to hike to the state house and work for "glorious woman suffrage." Finally Mrs.

Gougar brought her visit to a close and the mother breathed a whole lot of sighs of relief and started in to give woman suffrage a knock wherever she could, and now not one of her five sons believe in it for even half a holy minute, and Mrs. G. goes to her long home unwept, unhonored and unsung in one household at least. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lininir of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

She was confirmed in the church of England, but for many years has been a member of the Methodist church at Sherman and Clifton. She was a very quiet but noble woman. She has done well the work committed to her and many can truly call her blessed. Clay county has lost an old settler, one that was worthy of all honor and praise.

Her funeral was held at Sherman church. The sermon was preached by W. H. Underwood, who was her pastor 32 years ago. She was buried in Sherman cemetery.

Shoemaker Leeds-Davison. One of the prettiest weddings that was ever celebrated near Wakefield was that of Miss Lillian A. M. Leeds and Harry Peters Davison which occurred Thursday evening June 6th. The wedding party composed of the bride and groom, Mrs.

Lucy M. Fitzgerald, aunt of Miss Leeds, who raised her; Mr. and Mrs. Davison and son, parents and brother of the groom; Bishop Millspaugh and Mrs. I.

M. Selts arrived from Topeka at Brough-ton on the afternoon train and were met there by three carriages conveying the guests to the homes of Thos. C. Ruscoe, R. Fowles and the Misses Coatsworth where Bishop Millspaugh was entertained.

The homes had been made especially attractive for the reception of the guests who so hospitably entertained their friends. At each home an elegant supper was served. At the Ruscoe home where Miss Leeds was a guest as were the other ladies of the party, there was a beautiful bride's cake. After supper the bridal party was taken to St. John's Episcopal church three and one half miles southwest of Wakefield where promptly at eight o'clock a hymn entitled "The Voice That Breathes" was sung by the choir after which the beautiful Epis copal ceremony was very impressively performed by Bishop Millspaugh as sisted by Rev.

Mcintosh of the parish. It was at this little prairie church that the bride's father was rector four years and where she was confirmed. The decorations in tne church were cut flowers and bunting which had been effectively arranged by the Daughters of the King of which the bride was a member. The bride wore a handsome dress of India linen, richly trimmed in Valenciennes.laceand wore a long bridal veil of tulle with a wreath of orange blossoms which were kindly loaned by Mrs. C.

A man's idea of a woman's reason for cleaning house is to give her an excuse to move the furniture around to make things as unhandy for him as possible. In one issue of The Times 1031 personals. In fifteen weeks every man, woman and child would be mentioned if the reporters did not work too many duplicates. Without half trying 649 different items in one issue of The Times. If the young folks engaged in its making should really extend themselves where would it land? How sorry The Times feels for the dinkey dailies which struggle for board and clothes year after year and never get within smelling distance of real prosperity.

For twenty-four years The Times has been under one management, al-waj prosperous, always reliable, always filling to overflow the mission of a high grade weekly. Walter Roscoe Stubbs is probably going to be drafted as a candidate for governor; at least public sentiment seems to be traveling in that direction without brakes or inverted toboggan slides.

"Is Hornaday fighting Long?" asks a Topeka dispatch.

The mental processes of the Dispatch editor are peculiar. When Orchard first gave his testimony and it looked so black for Haywood et al, the Dispatch was very emphatic in branding Orchard a liar and in hinting that such a conspiracy was impossible. Now that the defense says the conspiracy was on the part of the mine owners the accepts it as whole truth. In short the Dispatch brands Orchard as a lier when he injuries Haywood, but as a gospel of truth when he injures the mine owners. Why? If such a conspiracy existed at all, and no one can deny but that these men were chances are mucn more likely that Haywood et al.

were the instigators than that the mine owners were guilty. It Jis a far cry to say that the mine owners would hire an assassin to destroytheir own property and kill themselves in the dim hope of thereby throwing odium upon their enemies.

Last Friday Charley King, who was employed as a section hand in the Rock Island yards in this city, was caught between the bumbers of two freight cars in such a manner as to cause internal injuries which cost him his life. The accident was caused in the fol lowing manner: An empty freight car which had just been unloaded upon the coal chute was released and al lowed to make a wild rush down the incline. Whether the car was released accidently or purposely, we have not learned. At the bottom of the incline were two other freight cars just a few feet apart. Mr.

King, who was at work and paying no attention to the movement of the cars, was passing between the two cars at the foot of the incline just as the wild car struck them, the bumpers catching him in about the center of the abdomen.
