Circlevil!?, Ohio." All I hare said
about Cardui, the woman's tonic, is
the whole truth," says Mrs. Fanaie

"I suffered with woKianly'vsakr.es?,
and pains in my back and limbs for
two long years. I was so bad off, I

My husband advised rca to try
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I con

now feci like a new woman, and caa
do all of my work.
Before taking Cardui, I was a walk

I recommend Cardui to every suf

for me. My dresser is never without a

There i3 no reason why Cardui

CHIEF BARCLAY HAS A
RAGE FOR SPEED-LIMIT
BREAKER: LOSES OUT
Yesterday afternoon the attention
of Chief of Police Barclay was called
to the fact that an automobile be
longing to some strangers was being
speeded over the streets at a rate very
dangerous to the pedestrians. The
chief hailed the occupants of the car
near the corner of Fifth and Main
street and requested them to stop, but
there was nothing doing at all in the
stop line, as the driver of the car pro
ceeded to step on the juice, and the
buzz wagon disappeared around the
corner of Sixth and Main streets at a
high rate of speed. The chief at once
secured a car and with Thede Amick
driving started out after the parties.
The dust was burned up on the ave
nues and country reads and the race,
along the Kansas City-Omaha road
was most exciting and the pursuers
were several times within about a
mile of the pursued, but when near
Union the car carrying the strangers
was lost, and at last reports there
was no trace of the 'mysterious cat
to be found. The authorities at Ne
braska City came part way to Union,
having been notified by Chief Barclay,
but they did not find any trace of the
parties desired. The machine is re
ported to be a Stutz car and one of
the best makes in the country, and one
that is very speedy. It was thought
perhaps the machine was one return
ing or going" to Missouri, the great
damn spot of the wet, and the car
miirht have contained divers and sun
dry packages of relief for the drouth
that exists in our state, but this is
wholly problematic.
