Chas, Curtis, How long will some people permit themselves to become a chance to public decency? By the terms of the treaty between South africa and England the dove of peace still hovers round lady Smith to adjust all matters in dispute. Here are people in this city, who spitefully hate a man because tries to live and act as a man, abuse and selfishness are kin- ted diseases. Some people troubles are alter where they can run things unless they car. they will always be sore as everything. The man who tells every one of he is a good republican identify forgot he was with the ang that always preer to not punish or law and order. We spent a few days in Coffey i Neoshoe county last week, dalo our attention was drawn fishing but the high water preered us from having a success catching fish.

Pride makes some people ridiculous and prevents others from becoming so. Life sincerest pleasure is found in doing your duty and doing it good. If a man listens to every word a woman says, its a sure sign that he's in love. After a man once reaches the top he never talks about the surplus room up there. Every man is either a hero or a coward, but the majority are never unveiled. The war tax on cigars may end in smoke, but the tax on whisky will be kept still. The optimist enjoys life whether he does or not. Never judge a man by the clothes he wears: judge him by the amount he owes his tailor. It seems funny that the man who has money to burn never sets the world on fire. The joys of yesterday are dead and those of tomorrow are not yet born. If a woman tries to practice what her husband preaches she has no time for gossip. There is always a breath of suspicion about the man who carries cloves in his vest pocket. The more worthless a man is the longer he seems to live. The politicians may as well proceed to line up on the theory that it will be McKinley and Somebody at Philadelphia, and Mr. Bryan and Somebody at Kansas City. The rule has too often been for monarchs to leave to their realms legacies of debt. In bequeathing to his people all his extensive and valuable landed s-tates, King Leopold of Belgium is an honorable exception to the rule. A New Jersey bicyclist who Was struck by lightning and only pai fully bruised is a further indication that the state long since has passed the stage of simple mosquito notoriety. $65,000 is the amount the Glen Elderites wanted to tax the people of the county—$50,000 for a Court house and $15,000 for a County High School. That was the proposition they made to Beloit and agreed to support, the court house proposition if Beloit would agree to support the High School for Glen Elder. But the Beloit people refused to go into the deed, and for Glen Elder to put up the cry of "taxation," and that "Beloit should build the court house," etc., comes with mighty poor grace and bad taste after she was willing to put up a job of $65,000 taxation. These are facts and can easily be proven. Ex The marquis of Salisbury has stirred up Brttons and pretty nearly everybody else by his allusions to what "a disloyal government in Ireland" might do and to the possibility of continental nations"united in one great wave to dash on our shores." These remarks have raised the query whether Lord Salisbury is a prophet or merely dyspeptic. He may be neither. He may be simply talking. ex, Beckham Gov. of Kentucky. The U. S. Supreme Court has declared Beckham, Democrat, governor of Kentucky. Chief justice Fuller held juri-diction: that the state legislature's actions were final from which there was no recourse. W. S Taylor, the Republican candidate, was elected by 2,383 majority and was given his certificate of election, but the Demoratic machine stole the office from him. Justice Harlan cissented, as did the other justices in some of the findings. Married His Chum's Wife. A fight took place in Argentine last week between Cal Conley and D. C. Bruner in which Bruner seemed to get worsted and Conley was fined one dollar and cost he citizens of Linn county probably know sometoing of the relations of these two men. Here it the story that has been generally told: Coley and Bruner were cellmates in the Kansas State prison. They became close friends. Brunner was released first and came to Pleasanton to assist Mrs. Conley and her friends to secure a pardon for Mr. Conley who still had some time to serve. Instead of carrying out his part as promised Brunner married Mrs. Conley wife of former fr.cnd. Mr. Conley was pardoned some time ago but did not return to Linn county remaining in Kans.

Some men can't find words 'or their thoughts and some women can't find thoughts for their words With time and patience the mulberry leaf become silk which in turn becomes a woman. Occasionally when a man finds money scarce in the city he goes the country for a little change. The following epitaph is said to be found in a cemetery in Burlington, Vt.: "She lived with her husband fifty years, and died in the blessed hope of a better life." Another, equally ambiguous, is found in Marshfield, Mass., "Here lies the bodies of Obediah Wilkinson and Ruth Wilkinson, his wife. There warfare is accomplished." Attorney's Wife Will Practice Law. On Wednesday May 16, Mrs. Mary Travers, wife of Attorney J. L. Travers, of Down, made an application in the district court of Osborne county to be admitted to the bar. Judge Pickler appointed a committee consisting of S, W Smith, and L A Linville and E. P. Sample to examine her as to her qualifications as a lawyer. The examination was held last Thursday and Mrs. Travers proved herself equal to the occasion by passing a highly creditable examination. The committee recommended that she be admitted to practice in the districts and justice courts of Kansas and Judge Pickler acted according to their recommendation. Mrs Travers is the first woman to be admitted so far in Osborne county, and the first so far as we know, in this part of Kansas. She has been reading law something over two years. X WHEN THE SIGN IS RIGHT It may be interesting to many around here to know there is one day in the year for cutting sprouts. We mean by that, if you cut your sprouts on that day they will nev* er grow again, The eleventh day of June is the day and several who have tried it say that the sprouts never grow when cut on this day. Chas. West, owner of the McGinnity Point fruit farm, testifies to the merit of this statement. He says if you will stick the blade of an ax in a tree on that day in two hours time they leaves will begin to wi her and the tree dies at once Those who have cleared lands should try this and save many days of hard work in the future Ex, Mormon Elders Hunting Convert A couple of Mormon elders have been gadding around over this county for the past three months claiming to be messengers sent out by the apostles. They have endeavored to entice young girls to embrace their faith and have poured into their ears the beauties of Mormonism and the salubriity of the climate of Utah. They have evidently explained how pleasant it would be for them to have a husband divided up between about forty other wives how handy it would be at cleaning house time, wash days and all sundry other times. We have not yet heard of any of our Nemaha girls being induced to follow them and do not think the elders have meet with any glittering success. Down about Neuchatel the elders came in contact with some over ripe fruit of the hen and they were a sorry sight to behold, and they smelled like cannes that had battled with a fitchet. ex. J. A. KENEDY OF BURLINGTON FOR STATE SENATOR It is not necessary to say very much of Mr. J. A. Kenedy who is a candidate against Billy Deford for State Senator in the Counties of Coffey and Franklin As Mr. Kenedy is a known Republican, and has always cast his lot with that party. He has been a resident of the city of Burlington for many years, being for many years member and chairman of the County Central Committee. The people will support him for State Senator. Ailimony to His Stepmother. Binghampton, (N. Y.) Special Chicago Inter-Ocean:—W. E. Wayman of Milwaukee, has made the starting discovery that his divorced wife, to whom he has been paying alimony, is his stepmother. Mr. and Mrs Wayman were divorced by a Wisconsin court, which handed down the decree on May 6, 1899, the court ordered that Wayman pay his wife $25 a week alimony. This he has obeyed, the money being sent to her attorneys. Wayman's father is a retired officer is a retired German officer and a member of the G. A. R. residing at Youngsqville in this state. Little communication was held with his son and it was not until a short time ago the later knew his father was married and that he had a stepmother. He was overcome when he learned that his stepmother was his divorced wife and she was as much surprised as he. It will now be a question for the court whether the order compelling him to pay alimony to his stepmother shall be revoked. By the terms of the treaty, the Transvaal government are about coming to an understanding after too many lives have been lost. Is it not strange that such foolishness cannot be settled without a severe loss? Dr. Knapp, who formerly lived and practiced medicine in Frank Grimes' county is the leading physician of Burlington Kansas, and has purchased him a fine home there also—rife is a coming physician. B.E. CLIFFORD-OF IOLA. For State Senator 14th Dist. One among the most prominent young men for State Senator in the race before the Republican primaries July 7th is Mr. B. E Clifford, who is of the firm of Goshorn and Clifford. He is a young lawyer of more than ordinary ability. If nominated at the coming primaries he will add strength to the Republican ticket. The colored people of Allen county speaks high of him as their friend and they will vote for him solid. FAVOR 1904 EXPOSITION. Before adjournment the convention of the Kansas Commercial clubs heartily endorsed and unanimously adopted the following resolution, introduced by John E, Frost, vice president of the Topeka Commercial club. Resolved, That we favor the ceiembration of the fifteenth anniversary of the organization of the great territory of Kansas, by an exposition in 1904; that we endorse all legitimate measures looking toward that end, and earnestly urge the hearty cooperation therein of the commercial clubs of the state. A full represetation of all parts of the state is excepted at the 1904 exposition meeting called by Governor Stanley for June 5 in Topeka. Ex.

The sultan of turkey has not been feverably heard from sur- ily he must have said "Pshaw" HURRAH FOR CHRISMAN! Di. Oscar Chrisman, of Emporia, is today the best advertised Kansas man in the United States, and all because he had the good sense and uncommon courage to stand up and tell the plain unvarnished truth about some Jisagreeable subjects. The Chicago and New York papers say he got hissed for it, If he did, he is good company: Martin Luther and Lincoln were hissed in their days. But Christman says he was not hissed, but he admits that he had what the Swedes at log camp dances called a helava time. However, what he said was all true and the place he said it—at a national mother's congress at DesMoines—was the place to say it: What Christman said has been said in doctor books and whispered around in medical societies. The purport was even printed in the Emporia Gazette last winter under the caption "Concerning High School Girls," and it brought down the old Ned's own row on this paper. But the time was ripe to say what Dr. Christman said right out in meeting. There is something wrong with the education of girls. Many girls get a lot of fool notions in their heads that life is a picnic in organdie and cheesecloth and overlook the fact that woman's first business in the world to make homes. Too many a girl graduate of the schools of the period knows just enough about cooking to spoil groceries, just enough about housekeeping to cover up her sixtomicky work in closets and corners while she gads: just enough aboot the rules of health to grunt intelligently when she violates them. School should teach boys more, Heaven knows. They are ignorant enough. But an ignorant, worthless boy is simply one bad casting and is thrown into the melting pot and little harm comes. But God gives woman so much more power for good and for evil so much illuege that a fool woman is worse than a plague in the world. Ex. FOUND DEAD IN BED Johnstown. Pa., May 28.—John McNally, of Cresson, was found dead in bed this morning. He was formerly proprietor of the Junction house at that place and previously conducted the St. Elmo hotel at the Summit. He was 40 years old. He is survived by his wife. x, Says His Wife Abused Him. Greensburg.Pa.,May 28.--Norman B. Goss, prominent in business circles at New Kensington to-day instituted proceedings in the courts here for divorce from his wife Jessie B. Goss, to whom he was married May 15 1895. Goss asserts that he lived with his wife until January 1898 when he was compelled to leave her because of her cruel and barbarous treatment of him. He says she refused to nurse him when stricken with fever, and once threatened to kill him with a butcher knife. A. T. WAGGONER. DRUGGIST. Rubber goods a speciality.

Potatoes are rapidly dug, cleaned and sacked by a new apparatus, which has a plow to unearth the tubers, the dirt and potatoes falling into an endless chain elevator, which delivers them into a hopper with slat sides, which removes the dirt and drops the potatoes into a bag. Military Craze in London. So deep has the military craze taken root that dinner parties in London are now using khahi tablecloths with bright red flowers placed in imitation of cavalry boots. Fifteen Feet of Hall Mr. T. L. Harris of Snellville was in Monroe yesterday. He says that the people there who were so fearfully injured by the recent hall will have to plant their crops over, putting it in cotton or corn. In some places the hall drifted to a height of fifteen feet, and much of it yet remains on the ground. It will require several weeks of warm sunshine to melt, all of it.-Walton (Ga.) News and Messenger. Ostriches Under Saddle. The possibility of the ostrich being used for a kind of two-legged saddle horse, as the natives of Abyssinia are said to have employed it, was demonstrated at Pasedena, Cal., recently. A man not only mounted a full sized male ostrich and rode 100 miles on its back, but also had a photographer take a picture of him on his feathered steed. Woman in Office.

An Old Market Trick The origin of the saying, "Let cat out of the bag," is traced to a vorite trick among country folk England, to substitute a cat for one of the young pigs when the latter was carried in bags to market. These cats in old phraseology, were known pokes. If any greenhorn was fool enough to buy "a pig in poke"—is, purchase the animal without looking at it—the trick was successful. If he opened the sack to satisfy his self concerning the value of his sired purchase pussy would be like to jump out. The cat was let out of the bag and the trick exposed. Skinning a Horse Found Color Albert Lambert, Jr., and Chad Brewer, of Westfield, N. J., while sizing a horse owned by the form found a ten-cent piece under the just above the left shoulder.

Dan Sinclair has started a new fad for bicyclists, or, rather, has resurrected a very ancient one. His drive chain is tastefully draped over the handle-bars, and he propels the machine by using his feet as paddles, lowering his feet so that he can easily reach the ground. The appearance of the rider is not particularly graceful, but as it is rather a unique idea, or, at least, primitive, it will probably be very popular in these days when old things are in general favor.—good Forks Herald. Germany's Exports to Us. The United States consul-general at Frankfort-on-Main has issued a statement showing that the exportation to the United States from his own consulate and those under his supervision during the first quarter of 1900 amounted to $2,245,473. The figures for the same period in 1899 were $2,243,141. The increase for this year is $1,011,332. Kehl, Mayence, Munich and Stuttgart show a decrease.

Increased Receipts of Hogs Lowers Prices Of Hog Products. FACTORIES SHORT OF ORDERS. New York, June 4.—Bradstreet's says: Readjustments of price quotations to meet the changed condition of supply and demand are still the leading features of the general trade. In volume the, business doing is of a between-seasons character, improvement in some lines being counterbalanced by increased dullness in other branches. That the basic conditions of the trade are in the main of a favorable nature, however, is proved by the continued good railroad earnings returns which come to hand. The fact seems to be that the volume of business offered the transportation interests of the country continue considerably in excess of a year ago. Crop reports are relatively most favorable as regards corn and oats. In the southwest wheat crop prospects are still maintained at a high average. In the northwest wheat has been helped by late rains, but owing to their late arrival is is not certain how much benefit was obtained thereby. Most prices are lower on the week, wheat noting a fractional drop despite unfavorable French crop advices, whence an enormous reduction in yield is predicted, and also rather blue reports from the northwest early in the week, mended in some respects by the rains mentioned. Pork products have sympathized with the downward tendency of values, aided thereby by increased receipts of hogs. Some further liquidation has been noted in cotton and the price has sunk to 9c. In textiles the situation is rather depressed, although some improvement in re-orders for dry goods is noted at leading jobbing centers. Print cloths have been marked down by the Fall River committee, but this is merely a tardy recognition of hitherto known facts. Manufacturers of woolen goods are out of the market for raw wool and the outlook at present favors the light-weight woolens upon opening of lower values. Boots and shoes are dull and a number of eastern factories are short of orders. Johannesburg Was Ouiet. Loddon, June 5.—Lord Roberts reports: "The occupation of Johannesburg passed off quite satisfactorily, thanks to the excellent arrangements made by Dr. Kraus, the Transvaal commandant here, and order prevailed throughout the town. Dr. Kraus met me on my entrance to Johannesburg and rode by my side to the government offices, where he introduced me to the heads of the several departments, all of whom acceded to my request that they would continue to carry on their respective duties until they could be relieved of them. Johannesburg is very empty, but a good crowd of people assembled in the main square by the time the British flag was being hoisted. A royal salute was fired and three cheers for the Queen were given." Officials' Expenses are Heavy. Havana, June 4.—Governor General Wood was asked about alleged extravagance of officials, and replied, "I know of a number of officials who have been compelled to spend more money to maintain the dignity of their rank and country than the United States allows them. They have drawn upon their private incomes to do so, and the government has not been called upon to foot the bills." Drawing it Mild. Berlin, June 5.—Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, gave assurances to an informant of the correspondent of the Associated Press that the Bundesrath in drawing up the paragraphs for the carrying out of the provisions of the meat inspection bill would frame them in such a manner as to consider the legitimate wishes of the American and British governments as much as the tenor of the law would permit. Cuban Extradition Passed Washington, June 5.—The senate has passed the bill providing for the extradition of persons who have committed certain crimes in Cuba, from the United States to the island. As amended, the bill provides that the alleged criminal shall be punished under the laws of Cuba as administered by the Cuban courts. The last of the appropriations bills, the general deficiency, was passed, as also was the emergency river and harbor bill, providing for numerous surveys and for certain other public works. Washington, June 4.—The commissioner of pensions estimates that there are about 925,000 survivors of the Civil war. Of this number there were on the pension rolls last year 742,467. During the year 24,787 pensioned veterans died. This number is slightly more than $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. Assuming that the death rate among those not pensioned is the same as among the pensioners, the total number of veterans who died during the year would be about 30,855. New Binding Twine, 9 7/8 c Lb We received the following telegram in our buyer which explains itself: "Purchased three hundred seventy-five thousand (875,000) pounds NEW STANDARD BINDING TWINE.

It is only reason that we could possibly obtain this twine was that a party needed spacious room. It is less than our farmer friends paid to the penitentiary people a few weeks ago. We always believe, when we get a bargain, in dividing it with our friends and customers, feeling that when they know that we are always willing to treat them right and give them the benefit of our one basis on which we do business, namely large sales and small profits, that they will appreciate it, and in the end we will make more by favoring them with something of this kind than we would by charging them the regular market value. Consequently we divide this profit with you and will simply say that when this twine is out you can rest assured that we will try to make you as low prices as possible, but, whatever we would suggest that you get your order in as soon for any part that you may want of this lot. We will be able to ship by May 28th, as the twine reaches us by fast freight. The above telegram was received May 22. Send for agricultural implement catalogue. T. M.

W. V. Sullivan, U. S. Senator from Mississippi Hon. W. V. Sullivan, U. S. Senator from Mississippi. Hon. W. V. Sullivan, United States Senator from Mississippi, in a letter recently written to Dr. Hartman from Oxford, Miss., says the following: "For some time I have been a sufferer from catarrh in its most incipient stage, so much so that I became alarmed as to my general health. But, hearing of Pe-na-na as a good remedy, I gave it a fair trial and soon began to improve. Its effects were distinctly beneficial, removing the annoying symptoms, and was particularly good as a tonic. "I take pleasure in recommending your great national catarrh cure, Peru-na, as the best I have ever tried." "W. V. Sullivan." Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

The nerve cells of the body have been robbed of their vital forces. The nerves have no life in them; therefore all the organs of the body suffer from lack of nerve control, and the blood vessels that supply these organs are not in proper tone. "HUDYAN corrects the evil. HUDYAN provides this vitality or nerve force that is wanting." Are you approaching this condition of Nervous Debility? Are you growing prematurely old? Do you suffer with headaches (Fig. 1); hollow eyes or dark rings under eyes (Fig. 2); pale, thin face and sunken cheeks (Fig. 3); weakness of limbs (Fig. 4); a poor appetite and impaired indigestion (Fig. 5); torpid liver (Fig. 6), and costiveness, a coated tongue (Fig. 7)? Or have you dizzy spells? Do you suffer sleepless nights? Do you have horrid dreams? Do you awake in the morning hollow-eyed and tired out? Are you despondent, melancholy? Do you shun society? Are your knees shaky? Have you pain in the small of the back? These symptoms all tell you that your nerves are failing you; that you will grow old long before your time. HUDYAN will save you; HUDYAN will make a robust, strong, manly man of you. HUDYAN revives, restores, rejuvenates. Go to your druggist at once and get HUDYAN.

At about 2.30 Sunday morning robbers entered he Madison post office in the good old fashioned way, by taking tools from the Santafe car house, and driving in the combination of the office safe. They got $450 in stamps and $150 in money principally quarters and half dollars. S. F. Winker; the attorney was asleep in his office about twenty feet from the postoffice when the robbers occured. Postmaster Ewing fitted on the Madison office with stamps and a new outfit. There were two robbers in the crime and the clue seems to be that one man sixes and the other eight shoots. Postmaster Smith will stand the loss. -Ex Speaking of brave deeds, here is one to the credit of Jewel county. It occurred in June 1888 when Mrs, Mary Gorman and his little child were found dead in the family well. A report of the affair published at the time saw "It is supposed that Mrs. Gooman went to the well, and the her babe, scarce two years old followed her and stumbled into the open well and in attempting to save it, she lost her own life. A clothes line to which was fastened a hook, was found near showing that she had tried to rescue the child before going into the well, and failing in the attempt it appears that she fastened the well rope to a windl lying near and let herself down When found, there was a hitch in the rope around one arm the rope passing across her back and under the other arm, enabling her to keep her head above water which was about four and a half feet deep. She had taken off her apron and tied it about the chill making it fast at her shoulder. The prints of her feet near the top of the well show that she had put forth almost superhuman forts to reach the top but not being verp strong she soon became exhausted, and hanging with her body in cold water chilled to death before night.—Ex. A PECULIAR ACCIDENT Dr. A. G. Edwards extracted (1) the weed three inches long and one fourth of an inch wide from the arm of a little daughter of Barry Wassenburz last Monday.
