State Ledger

INTER-STATE Journal Kans., and Missouri. By F. L. JELTZ. INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF. ANNOUNCEMENT I am a candidate for Sheriff of Shawnee county on the Independent ticket for the fall election. I have lived in this county for many years and have a wide acquaintance. If I am elected I shall do all in my power to carry out the duties of the office. EDITORIAL There is no rose without its thorn. A man who is astonishing the west with his investments and successful managements of big properties has had it told on him that he was run out of Kansas, City, for running a lottery. It is not strange that scientist cannot agree about the ingredients in the male beds of Trego county. In legal proceedings where insanity is the plea doctors swear every old way. You cannot get expert testimony in a n y case. The prophets are divided. One halt of them say they have never known two dry years together and the other half contend that one dry year is apt to be followed by another. This is end less chain or prophecy and can new be settled. Kansas is in the lead again. It is greatest patron of the circus any state in union. The circus appeals to the heart of the average Kansas man as nothing else can do. It offers him a new view of life, and life in its most grotesque form at that. Ex. There is complaint sent to this office relative to two women and a young girl operating a place in the precincts of Desoto that for the good of the community the people say move out. Quit or move on. If we would publish all the funny things we know and see in our paper you would cry and laugh your self to death. HON. GEO J. BARKER FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE 13th DIST. Hon Geo J. Barker of course is well known to all of our readers hence it is not absolute necessary to give him an extensive notice however he wants to go back to the State Legislature to take up that part of the work he left off when he was there as its able speaker, Mr. Barker is an able exponent of the cause of republicanism and wherever he goes he has a wide circle of friends. When he was in the house before as their speaker he was begged with many compliments on the members of that body. Geo J. Barker has in him a kind heart and he will cut much 'ice' in the coming contest. VETERAN A. S MARBLE OF SEDWICK COUNTY FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS. The subject of this sketch came from New York state. He is a veteran of the Civil War, enlisted in 1861, and mustered out in '66. His father was a friend to the colored people and was in many ways instrumental in their free- cation, also his father voted the first republican ticket in St. Joe county Michigan. He was 2nd sentient in the army and gave alliant service. Two years ago he was nominated in the fall of that year he was defeated only by 57 majority his time it is believed he will and the register of deeds ship. HON. JEPP RYAN MAYOR OF LEAVENWORTH. Mayor Jepp Ryan of Leavenworth is the right man in the right face. This kind man is a friend to all, and aside from this he has numerous colored friends, and to show this good turn of affairs he has them on the police force, janitors and working daily on the streets, such a man is Jepp Ryan who is a democrat in The State Ledger . DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER: JUSTICE TO ALL. principle. When the time comes as we have not a dissenting word against him, he will be easily elect ed. Imagine that a little unbending occasionally will hurt our dignity Oppose a man's views just to be contrary, Fx DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF. If you are a brakeman, don't claim that you are as good a railroad man as the general manager. In this country it is said that one man is as good as another, but it is not true. Certain men are above you by reason of good behavior, better sense and better workmanship. No use to combat the truth. Recognize your superiors, learn from them; do not toady to them but learn from them. Every successful man is successful for a reason; he has fewer bad habits than unsuccessful men; more industry: more order. It is an uncomfortable truth but important. Do not sit in the shade and say you're as good as the man who is working away out in the sun at five dollars a day while you are looking for a job at a dollar and thirty cents; Pattern after his good qualities; you can't injure him by abusing him. There is always a demand for good men. If you are agood man you will have no time to sit around and abuse industrious people; you will have a good job. You flatter yourself too much and not one of your acquaintances hasever told you the exact truth, Too much flattery going on In connection with his coroation festivites youngKing Altuno of Spain will wear fifty different uniforms, and orders for them have been distributed among all the leading tailors of Madrid. Several of the uniforms to be worn by the young sovereign are described as wonderfully picturesque, beautiful and closely copied from the medieval garments which have been kept in the Escurial. Ex Young King Alfonso of Spain will be invested week at Madrid with the British Order of the Garter by King Edward's solider, brother, the Duke of Connaught, who is to represent England at the coming of age festivals. It will be the first occasion of a Spanish sovereign receiving the Ordea of the Garter 'science the days when King Philip of Spain became the husband of that English Queen who figures in British history by the pleasant uickname of "Bloody Mary." Ex. Temptation tells many a tale glittered with golden promises. Force of character often is more forcible in what is not done than what is done. When gift giving goes by favor there follows in its wake some ugly heart burnings. The most lasting reputation is that which deals with deeds well done. The whirligig of time makes strange combinations in the world of society and business. Science affords ground for argument but it does not always solve a problem. Ex. It is a mistake for people who know nothing about music to ridicule great singers or great preformers. Simply because it is beyond one's reach is no reason why it should be discredited. What we want in this country is to encourage a higher appreciation of the best This music is good else peo: v1. know good music would not pay high prices to hear it Such things are not mere fake. we ought to be more sensible and not make our selves ridiculous trying to guy what is beyond us.

One of the foremost young men in the newspaper world is Hon. Leford Brady, who for years has been editor and proprietor of the LAWRENCE DAILY and WEEKLY WORLD. In him is a fine type of manhood, a hustling young man who came as it were a poor boy with nothing but a collegiate education. Young Brady started out in this cold world of ours "where weeds grow up with the fairest of flowers." Coming to Lawrence from other parts he began the publication of the WORLD, today it is far above the average newspaper in this great state: hence young Brady should be highly commended for his sterling worth. He is today esteemed by all who know him. He has two great newspapers he has moved on the ground floor of one of the finest buildings in Lawrence, he has a great force, he pays out large sums of money to his employees on account of services rendered on these two papers. Now as he has begun to see the light of day he of course like other great men would like to go to the legislature to represent his county in many respects, hence the people are speaking in words of praise for him and when the time comes it will be seen that Mr. Brady will be a formidable feature in the convention. MR. ALBERT PENMAN A LEADING WAITER One of the prominent young coloreau men in Topeka is Albert Penman formerly of Kentucky although it can be easily said that he is a Kansas reared young man. Penmau came here when a small boy and having worked his way up the ladder of fame evidently makes him one of the foremost young men of his class in the cul- inary line. He has served as waiter of many prominent functions been head waiter of Hotel Throop several times and he is still there and has been 12 years. VOTE FOR Haines Saturday Saturday next is the day in which a hard fought battle will take place in all the precincts north Topeka and north of the river between present county commissioner S. H. Haines and old "Dad Stewart" the people will do just what they have always done and that is to give Mr. Haines his second term a man who will refuse to vote for an honorable citizen a second term should always keep out of politics himself - hence any officer ordinarily should have his second term. A. W. ARMSTRONG Mr. A. W. Armstrong of Eudora, township is one among the most prominent and reliable gentleman of Dougus county. He has lived there 17 years where he owns large interest. When he was an officer for the county he always looked after the interest of the colored people. He wants it to be Register of Deeds to succeed Geo. F. Soxman, and the entire county populace black and white are for him. Hon. E. T. Riley, one of the nices to young republicans of Douglas county is a candidate for the legislature. He has always been a true friend to the colored people. When he was in the House before he stood by them and as he only wants a second terms things are coming his way. J. R. GR1GGS Mr. J. R. Griggs for county commissioner is one among our best citizens of Lawrence everyone knows him. The only thing he says that must be opposed in this fight is his opponent has only been a republican 40 days and he has been one all his life. He asks the votes of his many friends. For County Coroner D r. Leonard B. Powell is a candidate for the office of county coronor he was formally appointed by the governor having made an efficient county coronor he wants to be elected to the position by the people.

The republicans of Douglas county are preparing for the coming primaries which will be held later on. They have some very efficient men in the field for the respective offices. Among the prominent men are Hon. M. A. Gorrill, one of the prominent young lawyers who has been identified before the Douglas county bar for many years. Mr. Gorrill is a "Simon pure republican and has did much for the promotion of the city of Lawrence, his home. The colored people are very favorable to him, hence he will go into the convention with a host of friends from all sides. It is the duty of the good citizens or Douglas county to nominate for court attorney as good material as they now have, hence in the person of Mr Brownell the present county attorney he has made an efficient officer, he knows the law. The same can be said of Mr. Gorrill who is young man equally as active and qualified to fill the position he seeks. The State Ledger takes pleasure in introducing him to its lar ge number of readers in Douglas county as the next county attorney of that county. The name of Hon. Jack Watts need no introduction, hence he is a candidate for re-election, Mr. Watts who asks for re-election is in favor of the new court house site being north of Watkins bank the tract is free for the same, and the people of Douglas county and Lawrence endorse him to the letter. He has many friends who will stand by him. Dr. L. B. Powell, the county coroner, by appointment by Gov. Stanley is a candidate for the republican nomination. Dr. Powell has been a resident of Lawrence for about four years came here from Stockton Kas; has made many friends here, While not in active practive, he is a man of extraordinary ability and experience, and is quite competent to "sit on" you if you need the service of the coronor. He is an old soldier and has a good record as a physician, as a citizen and as a soldier. His friends confidentially expect him to succeed. Mr. and Mrs. J, Smiley on Quincy street are the parents of fine daughter three weeks old, Her name is "LENA GENEVA," Little Thelma Chiles youngest daughter of Mr. Mrs N. Chiles has a queer idea of a watch as soon as she gets hold of it she immediately places to her ear. Mr W. F.

Flory one of the young dignified republicans of that county is county clerk.

Cheney has been provided for by the township board, who have decided to issue $3,900 in bonds and put the proceeds with $1,500 cash in hand, to build a school house at Cheney. The supreme court decision leaves 51 Kansas sheriffs in office who would have been let out by new appointments if the decision had given the governor the authority to make the appointments. The United States supreme court in an opinion delivered by Chief Justice Fuller, overruled the demurrer of the state of Colorado in the case of the state of Kansas versus the state of Colorado.

J. Devlin, who owns more coal mines than anybody, is not troubled about exhausting the patrimony due his descendants. He says: "After 10,000 years of continuous mining Kansas will still be turning out as much coal as she does today." There are cases in the courts which involve the amount of $3,500 claimed from the city of Wichita for labor done in overtime hours after the eight hour law was passed. One of these cases has been decided by the supreme court in favor of the city. It is announced that the Santa Fe tracks between Florence and Wellington are to be relaid with 75 and 80 pound steel; and that a building for a Harvey eating house will be erected in Wellington.

Convicts in the state penitentiary are making brick to be used in building the new insane asylum at Parsons, also for the erection of other smaller buildings at other state institutions. A fine grade of brick is made at the prison and the plant is saving the state a great deal of money. J. W.

Peck's daughter Ethel was married in Chicago on April 9. All Kansans know Geo. Peck, and there are many who remember his daughter. Frank Montgomery sent this to the Kansas City Journal: "One of the funniest sights ever witnessed in Topeka was reserved for a favored few the other day. The Santa Fe closed its general offices on account of repairs being made to the building. A politician came along, found the doors locked and 'ceased' for ten straight minutes because he couldn't get in to get a pass. G. W. Smith has sold his 120 acre farm in Sodwick county to his neighbor, Mr. Giser, at $75 an acre. The successful ballot at the city election at Solomon had a statement printed on it that, so far as Solomon was concerned, the election of the candidates whose names were on the ballot would be a virtual repeal of the state laws prohibiting the sale of intoxicants. And the Lawrence Journal reverses the supreme court's election law decision. How wise people, some people, are becoming. Frank Hutzell of Lyon county, was crushed under a heavy wagon and died almost instantly. His team started while he was loading the wagon.

At Home Anywhere in the United States. SOUTH CAROLINA'S WELCOME. Charleston, S. C., April 10.—The banquet tendered to President Roosevelt at the Charleston Hotel, was a fitting close to a day full of incidents, and served to gather together men prominent in the affairs of the state, having solely in mind a greeting to the president which should prove the sincerity and the warmth of feeling existing for him as the chief executive of the nation. The banquet hall was a bower of roses, pinks and silkas, artistically arranged, while loosely strewn over the tables were thousands of violets. Over 300 specially invited guests were present. Mayor Smythe welcomed Mr. Roosevelt to Charleston, and the president's response was listened to with the closest attention and was interrupted by loud and continued applause. The president said: "Mr. Mayor, and you, my hosts, and my fellow American citizens: I should indeed be but a poor American myself if I were not deeply touched and gratified by the way you have greeted me today, in this, your beautiful city, and of course, I feel at home here. I think that any American who is worth his salt, has the right to feel at home in every part of the United States. "Around this table I see many men who took part in the great war. The war in which the younger among us here took part was a very little one, because it did not have to be any bigger. But it had one thoroughly good effect; it put the cap on the structure that has been building while we were almost unconscious of it and it taught us how thoroughly all one we were. When we got through that war it did not make a bit of difference to us whether it was an admiral who came from Vermont or a lieutenant who came from Alabama, if he had done his duty in such a shape as to make us each feel an even more generous thrill of pride in our common nationality. The debt that we owed him had little to do with the section from which he came. "I shall not try to make you any speech tonight because, for your sins, you will have to listen to me make one tomorrow. I shall merely thank you again with all my heart, and say to you that I want you to appreciate that I mean every word I say, and meant it deeply, when I tell you I have been touched, more than pleased, touched and stirred by the warmth and heartiness with which you have make me feel today that I am one of you." Getting Worse at Brussels. Brussels, April 14.—The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was characterized by violent scenes. The Premier, Count De Naeuyer, referring to the deplorable events, said: "The appeal of the Socialists to the population proves that it is their avowed plan to continue the struggle. Their aim is the dethronement of power and the triumph of revolution. The government is resolved that the debate on the revision bill shall occur in spite of the assertions of the Moniteur Socioliste to the contrary." At this point in the Premier's speech violent altercations, which nearly led to blows, arose between the depties of the opposing parties. Liberals and Socialists engaged in a sharp discussion concerning the agreement concluded between them for the defense of universal suffrage and M. Demblen, a socialist, shouted, "we are betrayed." Boycotting Enjoined. Willesbarre, Pa., April 14—Judge Ferris has granted an injunction restraining the building trades council of this city from boycotting. The opinion states very strongly that any combination for a boycott is unlawful and no workman or body of workmen has a right to threaten and try to coerce an employer into giving more wages than he desires. He says such a power would be destructive to personal liberty and subversive of all social order, all law, and all government. For a Homemaking Law. Washington, April 12.—President Roosevelt has reached the question of legislation for national irrigation, and has spoken without reserve to many members of congress as to the character of the law he would like to see enacted at this session of congress. The entire and only meaning of the changes proposed is to mal- the measure, which inaugurates a continuing appropriation of $3,000,000 a year, a homemaking law and not a law for the benefit of land or water speculators. America Gets Mexican Retail Trade. Mexico City, April 14.—Hitherto the supply of meat for this city and suburbs has been almost exclusively in the hands of the Spaniards, who have also monopolized the grocery business. They have stock yards in their possession, flour mills, retail meat shops, the tallow trade trade, etc. Now the American Beef company will establish retail meat shops on the American system all over the city. There is much alarm over this so-called Yanilee invasion of a long monopolized field. Binding Twins for 1902 Lansing, Kans, April 9—The board of directors at their last regular meeting, fixed the price of binding twine and the manner of disposing of it for this season. The price is 10 cents per pound when sold in 5,000-pound lots or more, and 10½ cents per pound for less than 5000-pound lots, f. o. b. Lansing. Any resident of the state, whether he be a farmer or a retail dealer, has the right to purchase the binding twine, and either, purchasing in like quantities, get it at the same price.

The day in the senate belonged to those who oppose the Chinese exclusion bill and talked that way. There were, however, some who spoke in its support. Both sides were willing to exclude Chinese laborers but objected to interfering with business men of that country. Senator Payne was called upon for explanation, and he stated that there was no connection between the financial system of the United States and that now existing in the Philippines. The debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill was opened in the house. The vote, considered a test of strength on the motion to go into committee of the whole for its consideration was: Ayes 113 republicans and 63 democrats; noes 41 democrats and 89 republicans, Mr. Payne opened the debate.

This senate continued consideration of the Uherokee bill. A strong sentiment developed to reinforce the present law, known as the Geary law. The house Chinese excusion bill has been placed on the senate calendar. The Hoar anti-inj.net on and anti-conspiracy bill is reported to the house. It is a crast measure. Opponents of both political parties in the house have been calling for the bill to get together on the proposition to take the house. Mr Curtis (Kan.) introduced a bill fixing the punishment for stealing horses and cattle in the house, and a maximum imprisonment of 15 years. 98TH DAY. Just before the senate passed the postoffice bill, Mr. Long (Kansas) made an extended speech upon the Cuban reciprocity mea sure, giving market figures which would show that by this measure the sugar interests of this country would be increased. The principle of reciprocity to which political parties regard the majority in congress required this on account. Th Kaw Indian treaty was favorably reported to the house. 99TH DAY. Senator Depew (N. Y.) "poke briefly upon the subj. of electing federal States senators on the state which limit suffrage that should this measure be adopted such states would suffer in their representation in congress. Senator Depew's speech be brought out, piles from Kentucky, to Kansas, and Iowa.

Senator Quaries submitted to the sena e for ratification the supplementary wita the Creek Ind ans. Mr. Curius (Kansas) introduced a resolution providing for a volume to be compiled from the most imp rant publications issued by the agricultural department r hating to animal husbandry and by congress.

This is the same resolution of which Senator Harris secured passage Are In Classified Service Washington, April 14.—In the course of a month ten new route inspectors and ten special agents of the postoffice department will be appointed, and there are many applications for the places from Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. These appointments are in the classified service, which is not generally understood, and it has been decided that the places shall not be filled by transfers from other branches of the service unless the applicant has served four years at this kind of work. Beer Colony for Colorado Denver, Colo., April 12.—A Boer colony may be established along the line of the proposed Denver, Salt Lake Short Line. A committee of local Boer sympathizers called on the state land board with a letter from Boer Consul General Pierce in New York asking about state lands along the new route. "If I can get the right kind of inducements," says the consul general, "several thousand Boer refugees will go to Colorado and settle on farms. They will make the best of citizens." Postal Concessions to Cuba Washington, April 14.—Postmaster General Payne informed Mr. Palma that the domestic rates of postage and other postal concessions would be granted to Cuba when the time comes to sign a treaty, provided that Cuba in turn will not grant similar concessions to any country except those which have similar arrangements with this government. This has specific reference to Canada and Mexico. President Estrada Palma announced his satisfaction with this condition. Decision on Water Rights. Washington, April 9.—In the United States supreme court an opinion has been delivered by Justice Brewer in the case against the city of New York, involving the right of the city to appropiate all the water of a stream along which the complainants resided. The case was decided against the city by the circuit court of appeals, but this opinion reversed that finding and remanded the case for further hearing with instructions to consider the question of damages. League. Formed With Gov. Stanley of Kansas President. A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. Chicago, April 14.—W. E. Stanley, governor of the state of Kansas, was elected president of the National Reciprocity League. The object of the organization, which is non-partisan, is to wage a campaign of education concerning the "urgent need of reciprocity trade relations with foreign nations." In a word, these manufacturers say they are manufacturing in excess of the consumption of the home market. They want the United States government to establish trade relations with other countries that will throw open the markets of the world for the disposal of their goods. The United States senate will be asked to ratify at least nine treaties that provide for reciprocal arrangements' in the trade relations between the United States and various countries of the eastern hemisphere. Mr. Hulett of Topeka, Kan., was chosen secretary of the new league and B. B. Swift of Chicago, treasurer. A board of directors was selected, among whose members are: H. F. Carver, Chicago, chairman; C. R. Hoffman, Kansas; H. A. Heath, Topeka, Kan.; John A. Kasson, Des Moines, Iowa, and S. R. Callaway, N. Y. A national convention of the league will be called for the near future, probably at Chicago. The resolutions adopted declare: "The doctrine that there should be modification of the tariff which involves any injury to any home industry permits each industry to be sole judge whether such modification will cause injury, prevents all reform in existing trade laws, however beneficial to the people in general such reform would be, and subordinates the interests of the many to that of the few, in place of the proposed liberal commercial relations beneficial to the people of the whole country. "The reciprocal treaties negotiated by Minister Kasson, under the direction and with the approval of President McKinley, should be promptly ratified as beneficial to the interests of the people of this country and further treaties along the same lines ought to be negotiated with the nations. "No matter what may be done with reciprocity treaties with other countries, a liberal treaty should be promptly negotiated with Cuba." Stopping Cattle Shipments London, April 10.—Some uneasiness has been aroused here by the announcement that the American meat combination is stopping cattle shipments. The Liverpool Post says: "When the Chicago beef trust's plans are fully developed the Britisher will have to face a considerable increase in the price of meat, as the American purpose is to control the dispatch of meat carcogs. This has already commenced, and for the first time on record cattle ships have sailed for Liverpool without having livestock on board. Topeka, April 9.—About thirty convicts in the state penitentiary are affected by the decision of the supreme court in the Norton murder case from Cherokee county. The court held that Norton was not legally tried because the court of common pleas, now defunet, was an unconstitutional court. About thirty other convicts were sent to prison by that court and are still there. The court will no doubt order the warden to turn them back to the sheriff of Cherokee county for trial in the district court. Telephone Operators Cut Out Chicago, April 10.—A financial transaction of big proportions has been announced in telephone circles. The government of Germany appears as the purchasers of patent rights covering all Europe except Great Britain, Ireland and France for an automatic switchboard, manufactured in Chicago. The deal is the result of seven months' investigation in this city by a representative of the German government. Many operators will be forced to seek other employment. Vigilance Committee Mullet Springfield, Mo., April 12.—In the United States circuit court a jury awarded a judgment for $5,500 against fourteen of the most prominent citizens of Bolivar, Mo., in favor of James Malock.

It resulted in his leaving town and filing a suit against the committee for $30,000 damages. Peace Report is Doubled. London, April 14.—Inquiries made at the war office by the Associated Press, elicited the statement that the war knew nothing about the rumors of peace or the alleged telegram in which Lord Roberts is reported to have said the war was over. In the house of commons at midnight, A. J. Balfour, the government leader, replying to a question asked by the Liberal leader, declared that the government had no information concerning the peace rumors. Ten Thousand Miners Out. Dubois, Pa., April 9.—The district officers of the United Mine Workers and officers from mines of the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron company rejected the Indianapolis agreement reached by the international executive board and General Manager Robinson of the Rochester and Pittsburg company.

I: was stated at the White House that the president desired to appoint some man whom he knew well and that, if possible, he should come from Kansas. Topeka, Kan.—Eugene Ware was much surprised when he learned of his appointment to the position of pension commissioner. "I have not at any time made application for the place," said he, "and have not exerted myself to the extent of sending in a single letter of recommendation. The president mentioned it to me during my last visit to Washington, while I was there helping Attorney General Godard in the Colorado-Kansas irrigation case. I have not received any official notice of my appointment, and until I receive it I cannot say whether or not I will accept the place." Caught Ware "Mighty Busy." Topcka, April 14.-The first official notice E. F. Ware received of his selection as pension commissioner to succeed H. Clay Evans, came in a telegram from the president's secretary, asking: "When can you take the position?" Ware replied: "When do you want me to begin work?" At a late hour he had received no answer. "I cannot say how soon I shall go to Washington," said he. "It all depends upon whether the president is in a rush. This catches me in a mighty busy season, and it will take me a little time to arrange my business affairs." Reception to Mr. Roosevelt Charleston, S. C., April 10.—Mrs. Roosevelt was the guest of honor at the most notable reception that has been given in this city in forty years.

Three Cabinet officers have come from the congressional district which the new Secretary of the Navy repres- ents—Timothy Pickering, Wash- ton's Secretary of State; Caleb Cah- ing and now Mr. Moody. It is not called that any other congressional di- trict has been so distinguished. Vagaries of Our Language In a book which has just been published on that never-falling topic, the vagaries of the English language, the strange meaning of the word "pocket handkerchief" is described. A "kern chief" (couvrechef) means a small piece of cloth made to put on the head so that a "pocket handkerchief" means literally a small piece of cloth to cover the head to be held in the hand to put in the pocket—London Globe. Unique Provision for Poor Cephalonia, which is one of the Ionian islands, is going to be rich twenty years from now. Mr. Panga Athiasanius Vagliano, a nobil of the island, became rich as a Greek merchant in London, and died recently at the age of 84 years leaving nearly $15,000,000.

Uppendahl of this place has had a great deal of trouble recently with his back. Every time he went to do the least bit of lifting he used to have what he called "a catch" in his back. He says: "It did not have to be very hard work to give me such a severe pain that I could not move." "I suffered quite a long time before I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I used four boxes and now I can work as hard as any one and my back is as stout and strong as it ever was. "My wife used some of the pills too and she thinks there is nothing that beats them. "I can positively recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to anyone who has a pain in his back, for I know they will cure it." The Jack Pot Defunct A subscriber asks: "What is a jack pot that I read about once in a while and what seems to be the difficulty in getting it open?" A jack pot is one for properly cooking fish, and is especially recommended for suckers. It has a time lock, over the combination of which millions of Americans have burned the midnight oil in vain. A WISCONSIN PAPER ON WESTER OANADA. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One of the Favored Districts. The following clipped from the correspondence columns of the Eau Claire (Wisconsin) Leader is but one of many letters of a similar character that might be published concerning Western Canada, the land of No. 1 hard wheat and the best cattle on the continent. It is a simple matter to reach the lands spoken of, the Canadian Government having agencies establish at St. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota Grafton, North Dakota; Waterton South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indiana, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie and Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Columbus, Ohio and by writing to or calling upon any of these agents at these points full information can be secured. This is a great opportunity to secure a home free of cost or if you desire to purchase lands they can be bought now at price much lower than will exist in a few months. But read what the correspondent referred to has to say of one particular district. "To the Editor of the Leader-The rush of the land seekers will be to the prairie provinces of the Dominion of Canada. The allurements of a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat to the arcs are too great to be resisted and an immense migration from this county may be confidently predicted. People here laughed at first at the idea of any one leaving the United States for Canada, but the Dominion authorities knew they had a good thing and that stuck to it. Their officials evidently knew the value of printers' ink. They spared no expense in letting the people of this country know that these land were there and that they were exactly as represented. They did more. They sent out specimens of the crops raises and samples of the grain. We have had them here at four consecutive street fairs, presided over by one of their ablest immigration officers. The gentleman spared no pains. He plained the value of the lands and the richness of the soil from morning to night to all comers. "All this told in the long run. Several went up from here to spy out land and like Caleb, the son of a punneh, and Joshua, the son of Nebraska back a good report, and as some ten families will leave here in few weeks for Saskatoon to settle up farms there, and others are prepare to follow. Of course many will appear shocked at the idea of any one leave the stars and stripes for the Uni Jack, but patriotism is but a nomenclature after all, and our experience has been that in nine hundred ninety-nine cases out of a thousand man is the most patriotic where he make the most money and do most harm to those whom he hate.

Manager Davis of the British Electric Traction Trust has sailed for America to secure motormen to work the English street cars. The trust recently secured control of the tram lines in the chief towns of Great Britain, but finds it is unable to operate the lines successfully because of the lack of skilled English workers.

The Inter Ocean says: "This is a very important question, and, as it costs nothing to avoid this danger, why take any chances?" How much of the alarming spread of smallpox and other diseases may be due to unsanitary wall coverings? A genius is a man who does things that lazy people say it is impossible to do. Lost His Rheumatism By the use of a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. SERGENT JEREMIAI MAHER, of Ardac, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: "My friend, Mr. Thomas Hand, has been a great sufferer from rheumatism in the back and joints for the last four years, during which time he has employed many different methods of treatment, but obtained no relief whatever, and for the last two years has been unable to walk without a stick, and sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain constantly. I induced him to procure a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied with the most astonishing and marvellous effects. Before he had finished using the bottle of the first bottle he could walk readily with the aid of a stick and after a few applications from the second he was free f om pain, and has been ever since and although fifty years of age and a farmer, he can walk and work without experiencing any pain or difficulty whatever."

S. Johnson of Castle Rock tells the Fennimore Times: "I have in my possession what I consider an interesting relic. It is the stove that was used in the first capital building in Wisconsin in territorial times at Belmont and in which the first legislature convened. How did I obtain possession of it? Why, Judge Dunn, the first judge of Wisconsin, left it to his son, John, who used to farm at Castle Rock, and he sold it to the school in Gas Hollow. When a new schoolhouse was built several years ago the old stove had to make way for a more modern and new one and I bought the old one. It is of a peculiar and very odd shape and I doubt if another one like it can be found in all this country. R is about 2x3 feet in size and consists of six pieces with an iron band around them. You can remove the band and it all comes apart. It is made of cast iron about half an inch thick. All the marks on it are the letters "St. M. Yes; it is a good heater in spite of its age.

It is reported from Tokio that the officer, Yamow Gowsky, who was in charge of the battalion of Japanese troops 200 of whom lost their lives in a snowstorm, has committed suicide by poisoning himself.

When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, it unless the inflammation 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.

IRRIGATION IN NEW MEXICO. Hon. P. Bradford Perkins, the inventor of the Perkins water system, is new experimenting in New Mexico on behalf of the A. T. & St. F. R. R. to irrigate thousands of acres of land by his system. He writes: "A couple of years ago, while experimenting through the South, I found that by spending a part of my time in marshy neighborhoods filled with mlasma, my entire system was being slowly polished with hills and floods, over lost appetite and sleep. After taking quinine without benefit a friend recommended Dr. Caldwell's (Laxative) Syrup Pepsin. I used it three days and was so much better that I sent for six bottles and used it while in camp. I drove the poison out of my system cleansed my blood, restored my appetite, and am now in perfect health." Sold to all quirks and dealers in medicine, 50c and $1 bottles.
