TOPEKA, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 7 1903. H. A. WILLIS The prominent second ward man seems to be gaining The time draws near for the city election and the man about the city has been obtaining some very valuable information relative to the same. In speaking of the candidacy of H. A. Willis, several prominent second ward leaders said; "we have known "Doc" for several years, he has been our resident and neighbor, during which time he has always been a true 'blue republican.' If he has an enemy it is wholly unknown." "Doc" as he is called served in the Army of the Potomac, during the years of the army, young Willis found himself a captive, a prisoner in Andersonville. Of course none but the soldier can tell much about prison life at Andersonville. He has fought the battles of life and of war, and it will be remembered right here busy readers that he is a living witness to tell of the ravages of war and its desolation Dr. Willis wants a little reward before he passes to the great beyond where no traveler has ever returned. The republican putty, we all know is a great party but sorry to say it does not have enough offices to satisfy all our demands, hence we have instituted a rule among ourselves "to divide up," pass the hash arond that other's of the "faithful few" may enjoy some of its benefits. We believe that H. A. Willis is worthy of the position he sees s, as he stands without a peer in point of service as an uncompromising republican. To our knowledge in the dark perilous times of demo-pop rule in Shawnee county and the state, long before he ever thought of wanting an office, Mr. Willis has been seen at the polls and standing up for his party. After coming from the army he did not contend that the party owed him anything, but like the "common" of today went to work and never expected other than what he could and might earn in this active effort, it was soon seen and found out by his neighbors, friends and sympathizers that he made good use of his time, saved his earnings and today he has a live business which affords him a splendid support and suffice to say he did not have to have an office to obtain his prosperity hence he thinks he has done his duty, fought a good fight both in war and peace, he desires his friends to rally to his support at the primaries March 13th, next for city treasurer. JUDGE C. A. MAGAW for City Court Judge No young man whom nature and fortune has smiled on has made a better success in political life than Police Judge MaGaw. Coming as it were under adversities he has ascended the ladder of fame by his fairness, honesty and steadfastness as an official, he has served two years under Ex-mayor Drew as a police judge and two years under Mayor Parker he has been commended by all as one of the ablest tourists in Kansas for a man of his years. He is before the voters of this city March 10th for the office of judge of the court of Topeka. It will be remembered that the position now held by Judge McGaw is an appointive one, but the one he is aspiring to is an elective one. It is generally conceded and expected that he will carry an extra large vote at the primaries as he is immensely popular with all classes.

Lamberson' has paid his assessment to the Central Committee to aspire to the office of or Marshal of the court of Topeka. It does not seem clear to the voters that citter Mr. Lamberson or Prof Jackson could be nominated, yet through their persistency it seems that it is the purpose to get in the race to defeat rather than succeed. What the colored people needs is the best possible representation. The action of the administration in discontinuing the post office at Indianola, Miss., because the postmistress was forced to resign under threats of violence, entirely justifiable and right. It is the effective way of dealing with such wanton proscription and cruelty. The case was one of ruthless race prejudice and persecution. The postmistress was a worthy competent and inoffensive colored woman who had held the office without reproach or objection for several years. She was first appointed under President Harrison and reappointed under President McKinley. She has thus served acceptable through two terms and part of another and no criticism was made of her capacity or attention to her duties. The leading white people were friendly with out distinction of party, and it was only lately that the ruffianly element entered upon the persecution which comelled resignation to escape it. When the colorel postmaster at Lake City, S. C., was murdered in the same lawless and viaductive spirit, the administration of President McKinley promptly discontinued the office. Every effort was made to convict the murders, but in vain. If the seishment of the community did not approve their crime neither did it permit their punishment. When the argument was made that the whole body of the people ought not to be punished by being deprived of their mail facilities for the offense of a few, the answer was returned that a community which could not or would not protect a postmaster hearing the government commission was not entitled to a postoffice. After some years the office was re-established, but not until the locality had paid a hea py penalty for its toleration of lawlessness. DR.H. H.

Most of those who personally knew him have also passed on into silence, and, like Washington, he has become in the popular mind a sort of mystical figure, associated with a bygone age of dramatic heroism—a patron saint. Although New England loved Lincoln as much as any other section of the country did, when it came to know him, yet he was always regarded as a characteristic product of the pioneer country, and, although efforts not altogether successful have been made to show that he was of Hingham ancestry, never till now has Massachusetts been conscious of the presence in this locality of any living connection between the immortal rail-splitter and our own soil. Nevertheless for seventeen years one of the environs of Boston has harbored a woman who makes the proud boast that her father and Abraham Lincoln were first cousins; that both WILLIAM J SMALL FATHER OF MRS MOORE were born in the same rude log cabin in Kentucky, but three months apart, in 1809, and that she herself is a grandniece of Lincoln's mother, the famous Nancy Hanks. She is Mrs. Nellie M. Moore, who was born not many years before the outbreak of the civil war, in the then exceedingly primitive town of Frankford, Mo., and has been for three months past a resident of East Pepperell, Mass., where her husband, Charles W. Moore, is engineer in a mill. When asked to define her relationship to the martyred President, Mrs. Moore said: "My father, William S. Hall, was a son of Martha Hanks, sister of Nancy Hanks, who married Thomas Lincoln and became the mother of Abraham Lincoln. So, you see, my father was first cousin and I was second cousin to the President. "My grandfather, who married Martha Hanks, was Levi Hall, and they and Thomas and Nancy Lincoln were living together in the little log cabin in La Rue county, Ky., in 1809, when Abraham Lincoln was born there. My father was born three months later in the same cabin." When questioned as to the antecedents of the Hanks, Lincoln and Hall families, Mrs. Moore says it is a tradition of all three families that they emigrated together from New England about 200 years ago to Pennsylvania, from there to Virginia and later to Kentucky, as they eventually did to Indiana and finally to Illinois and Missouri. She has been for some time engaged in investigating the possible early connection of the families with New England, and intends to prepare a genealogy embodying the results of her labor. Continuing her story of the vicissitudes of the Lincoln, Hanks and Hall families, Mrs. Moore says: "My aunt, Rosanne Hall, who rode from her home in Maryland to Kentucky behind her husband on his horse told me that there were Quakers among my ancestors, as there are said to have been in the Lincoln family. She also said that my great-grandfather was killed by the Indians at the same time that Abraham Lincoln's grandfather was, while they were clearing the ground to plant corn, on their arrival in Kentucky. It was she who told me my father was born in the Lincoln log cabin. "My grandparents, Levi Hall and Martha Hanks, both died of the milk- Spot Where Lincoln First Lived in Illinois Will Be Marked. The Illinois State Historical Society is pushing a movement to erect a monument on the site of the log cabin in Harristown township, Macon county, which was the first home of Abraham Lincoln when he came to Illinois. Nobody knows what has become of the old historic structure. It was a hut of one room, about fourteen feet square. It had loose boards for a loft and a clapboard roof. The logs were chinked with mud. The old structure first attracted public attention when it was sent to the Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876. It was brought back from there, and a cabin, which was said to be the same one, was on exhibition at the World's Fair in Chicago, although its authenticity was disputed at the time. The exact size of the old cabin is in doubt and for some time efforts have been made by historians to determine the spot. It is now practically settled that the cabin stood on the spot now occupied by an old farm house on the Scroggin farm, near Harristown. Just sick, in Indiana, in 1818, about the same time that Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks, and her uncle and aunt Sparrow died. All were buried together in rude coffins construced by Thomas Lincoln, who was now a widower with two small children. After Lincoln became President, someone erected a monument over his mother's grave in the wilderness, but Aunt Roseanne told me that the selection of the grave for the monument must have been mere guesswork, since none of the graves had ever been marked, and there was no means of identifying any one of them." Coming to the subject of the migration of the survivors of the three families from Indiana to Illinois Mrs. Moore says: "Joseph Hanks, who taught Thomas Lincoln, Abe's father, the carpenter's trade, just 100 years ago, was one of the first settlers in Illinois, having gone there from Kentucky about 1820. It was his son, the famous John "BOUND FOR ILLINOIS MRS. NELLIE M. MOORE COLSON MAE ABRAMAM LINCOLN Hanks, stffl living in Missouri, who in 1830 induced Thomas Lincoln, Dennis Hanks and my father to pull up stakes and also remove to Illinois, where Abe was destined to achieve that fame that gained for him the Presidency. "Having arrived in Macon county, Ill., the party, which numbered thirteen, settled for a while. My father and Abe Lincoln were in their 21st year, and they, with John Hanks, Abe's second cousin, built the log cabin which some say was exhibited on Boston Common thirty years or more ago. They also split the famous fence rails at that time, samples of which did to arouse the enthusiasm in the Illinois convention in 1860, which secured the Presidential nomination for Lincoln. "After serving as major in the Black Hawk war, in which Abe Lincoln was captain, my father became one of the earliest settlers in Missouri, and during the greater part of his life kept a tavern, first at Hannibal and later at Frankford. "I often visited around among the Hankses in my childhood, too, and my especial favorite was Grandma Hanks, as we called John Hanks' mother, who lived in what is now known as Quincy, Ill. I used to hold her skein of yarn for her when she wound it into a ball, and during the operation she would tell me stories of her early life in the pioneer days in Illinois. "One story was in regard to a freshet such as used to come almost yearly to those who lived along the river bottoms eighty years or so ago. Grandma went several miles down the river on a raft, one day, to the mill, to have some corn ground, leaving the children in the log house. The river had been threatening to rise for several days, but the children well knew from former experiences, that if the river invaded the house they were to climb up on the roof for safety. where the ancient old structure is now no one seems to know. For many years after the Lincolnns vacated it the cabin was used as a schoolhouse. There are several of the old-timers of Macon county who attended school there. They say that an elderly lady named Macintosh was the teacher. Nobody has been found who knows what became of her. Harristown's first white settler was a relative of Abraham Lincoln. He was William Hanks, who located on section 23 in 1828. Three years later, according to a Macon county historian, "Mr. Lincoln, John Hanks, Mr. Lincoln's father, and John Johnson, Mr. Lincoln's step-brother, erected a log cabin on section 28 in the edge of the timber along the Sangamon river." It is hoped soon to agree upon a design for the monument designed to mark the spot where the cabin was constructed. His Solitary Childhood Of all the years of Abraham Lincoln's early childhood we know almost nothing. He lived a solitary life in the woods, returning from his lonely little games to his cheerless "The river rose while grandma was away and she toiled laboriously to get home as soon as she could. When she got nearly home she found everything afloat, and as she passed a tree that was well submerged she thought she heard a cry from the branches. She paddled to the tree, and there found her baby, John Hanks, afloat in his cradle, which had been washed through the door of the cabin, and had drifted about till it found lodgment in the top of the tree, where his mother found it. "Another of her stories was about Guinea niggers. I suppose you don't know what Guinea niggers were, do you? Well, they were not uncommon in the days when slaves were brought from Africa. They were very small in stature and very unprepossessing in appearance and they were said to be cannibals. "Grandma said that in her youth she knew a young couple who bought a pair of Guinea niggers. One day their little child disappeared and it was PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN IN 1854 SPLITTING RAILS IN ILLINOIS never seen again. They afterward found that the cannibals had eaten the child, and they were hanged for it. "Grandma, like most of the Hankses and Lincolnns, was an ardent Methodist. In her old age she always knitted just so much on a stocking every week day. One morning she was industriously engaged in the performance of her allotted stint, when some of the younger folks came in with their best clothes on. "Why, grandma! What are you doing?" somebody asked. "Only knitting," she replied, with some surprise. "What, knitting on Sunday, grandma?" "is this Sunday?" asked grandma, in amazement. When convinced that it was she unraveled every stitch she had done that morning, in order to atone as far as possible for her desecration of the day." Mrs. Moore describes having seen with some amusement Abraham Lincoln making a political speech in Missouri, arrayed in a long and exceedingly crumpled linen "duster," and a tall hat of ancient pattern. She says that when Lincoln was nominated for President his humble relatives among the Hankses held up their hands with amazed incredulity and exclaimed with practical unanimity: "Abe Lincoln for President? I don't believe it!" "There was always something queer about the Hankses," she says; "for although they were among the earliest settlers in Illinois and had their pick of the land, and plenty of it, and some of them had large, productive farms, yet every one of them turned out as poor as Job's cat. "My mother owned slaves before the war, but my father never did, nor did any of the Hankees, and for that reason they were called 'poor whites' by their neighbors who had slaves. All the Hankees were stank supporters of the union during the civil war."—Boston Globe. home. He never talked of these days to his intimate friends. Once, when asked what he remembered about the war with Great Britam, he replied: "Nothing but this: I had been fishing one day, and caught a little fish which I was taking home. I met a soldier in the road, and having always been told at home that we must be good to the soldiers, I gave him my fish." This is the only faint glimpse, but what it shows is rather pleasant—the generous child and the patriotic household. But there is no question that these first years of his life had their lasting effect upon the temperament or this great mirtful and melancholy man. He had little schooling. He accompanied his sister, Sarah, to the only schools in their neighborhood, one kept by Zachariah Riney and another by Caleb Hazel, where he learned the alphabet and little more. But of all those advantages for the cultivation of a young mind and spirit which every home now offers to its children, the books, toys, ingenious games and daily devotion of parental love, he knew absolutely nothing. WINNING A LAWSUIT INCIDENT IN LEGAL CAREER OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Simple Scheme Evolved in His Shrewd Brain by Which He Saved His Client, "Duff" Armstrong, from Death on the Gallows. There have been so many garbled versions of the famous incident in Abraham Lincoln's legal career in which he by an almanac saved the life of a man charged with murder that it is appropriate just now to narrate the correct one, as told by R. W. Armstrong, a barber of Mason City, who is the son of the man defended, and who was known as "Duff" Armstrong. He is very familiar with the case, as but a short time before his father, who, by the way, is still living, had related to him the exact facts in the affair. In all the histories of Lincoln and in most of the school books it is told how Lincoln defended Armstrong and cleared him by proving that the moon was not shining when the murder was committed "by the light of the moon." The father of Duff Armstrong was Jack Armstrong, who lived near New Salem, and who was the leader of the "Clary Grove" boys. He it was who had the celebrated wrestling match with Lincoln back of the old store at New Salem. Afterward they became great friends. The home of Jack Armstrong and of his wife Hannah was always open to Lincoln, and he visited there many times. It was during the summer of 1857 that Duff Armstrong, with a number of other young fellows, attended a camp meeting twelve miles south of Mason City. The young fellows were drinking, as war the custom of those times. Duff became involved in a quarrel with a companion named Metzger one night a short distance from the camp meeting. Duff claimed that he struck Metzger with his first just under the eye. The stories in so many books that he used a club or slingshot or other weapon, he insists are false. The next morning Metzger was out and around, but it is presumed that he caught cold in the injured eye. At any rate, the injury affected his brain in some manner, and he died. The elicer Armstrong had just died and the mother of the prisoner was in great trouble. She, in her poverty and distress, thought of her old friend and occasional boarder, Abraham Lincoln, and asked him to defend her boy. Lincoln willingly agreed to do so. The evidence seemed all against him. One witness swore that he saw Armstrong strike Metzger with a slingshot and others corroborated the story. Lincoln asked each one how he saw the fight, and the invariable reply was, "By the light of the moon." Lincoln then produced an almanac of the current year and proved by it that at the time they swore they saw the assault in the moonlight the moon was invisible. Lincoln then addressed the jury, making, it is said, one of the strongest and most eloquent pleas ever made in that court. At the close he turned to the weeping mother and said: "Aunt Hannah, you can have your boy again before the sun goes down." And she did, for the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. Lincoln received no fee and asked none. Afterward Armstrong enlisted in the army. He was the only support of his mother, the other children being small. When Lincoln became President Mrs. Armstrong wrote to him, asking him to release her son from the army that he might come home, as she needed his services. Neighbors told her that it was non-sense to write to the great Lincoln about such a small matter as the discharge of a soldier out of such a great army, and especially when Lincoln was so deeply immersed in the momentous affairs of state. She only replied: "Please God, Abe will give back my boy to me once more." As soon as Lincoln received the letter he ordered a discharge made out for William Armstrong, and within ten days he was at home with his mother. The President and His Boys It was a frequent custom of Lincoln's to carry his children on his shoulders, says the Literary Digest. He rarely went down street that he did not have one of his younger boys mounted on his shoulder, while another hung to the tail of his long coat. The antics of the boys with their father and the species of tyranny they exercised over him are still the subjects of talk in Springfield. Roland Diller, who was a neighbor of Mr. Lincoln, tells one of the best of the stories. He was called to the door one day by hearing a great noise of children, and there was Mr. Lincoln striding by with the boys, both of whom were walling aloud. "Why, Mr. Lincoln, what's the matter with the boys?" he asked. "Just what's the matter with the whole world," Lincoln replied. "Ive got three walnuts, and each wants two." Lincoln Letter Recovered Solled and faded, torn and frayed, a letter written by Abranam Lincoln a few months before his assassination has been found in some rubbish and papers on Broadway, New York, near the postoffice. It reads as follows: "Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov. 21, 1864—To Mrs. Bixby, Boston. Mass.: I have been shown in the file of the war department a statement of the adjutant general of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. "I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave only the cherished memory of loved and lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. "Yours very sincerely and respectfully. "A. LINCOLN." Best Time for Work. Tolstoy believes that the best time for literary work is between 9 a. m. and 3 p. m., and he soldm writes at other times.

Y., says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for eight or nine years; had much pain in my back; as time went on I could hardly endure it; I could not stand except for a few moments at a time; I grew weak and exhausted; I could not even do light housework, let alone washing and ironing; I could not stoop or bend; my head ached severely; I was in pain from my head down to my heels; centering in the kidneys it was a heavy, steady, sickening ache; I could not rest nights, and got up mornings weak and tired. I thought I was about done for, when I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised. for kidney complaints, and got them at Broughton & Graves' drug store. Within a week after commencing their use I began to improve, and from that time on rapidly grew better. I used five boxes in all and was cured. I have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to many others, and my case ought to convince the most skeptical sufferer to give them a fair trial."

He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by every large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: "I have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing."—David Meekison, Member of Congress. THE season of catching cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and the nasal twang are to be heard on every day. The origin of chronic catarh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarh generally begins. A person catches cold, which causes the eyes to start to swell and start in the head and throat. Then doses sensitivity of the air passages such incline one to catch cold very easily, that the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing the nose, nostrils stopped up, full feel up the head, and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarh is at the end of the day. If catarh is never fails to cure a common ailu thus preventing chronic catarh.

Gentry of this place makes the following statement: "For over forty years I suffered with misery in my back and at times I could not pass water without great pain and a burning sensation. I have had to make water as often as sixteen times during one night—just a little at a time. I tried many kinds of kidney medicines, but all without any good result, till at last I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills, and my pains are all gone." "I took six boxes and I am cured completely. I am 77 years of age and I feel better now than I have for over fifty years and I attribute it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills." Dodd's Kidney Pills have made some remarkable cures in this part of the state, and many old men and women are praising them highly as a cure for lame back, kidney and bladder troubles. An innocent looking banana skin is often the first step in a downward career. --- THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable drummers at fifty cents per bottle. Please His Cause For Merriment. When Brother Dickey saw one of his colored breederie laboring along under a heavy burden of Christmas trees, new cut in the woodlands, he burst into such an immoderate fit of laughter that the brother said: "What you see in dis ter laug at?"

Help and happiness surely awaits you if you accept Mrs. Pinkham's advice. Disease makes women nervous, irritable, and easily annoyed by children and household duties; such women need the counsel and help of a woman who understands the peculiar troubles of her sex; that woman is Mrs. Pinkham, who with her famous medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, have restored more sick and discouraged women to health and happiness than any other one person. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. Write today, do not wait. Will not the volumes of letters from women who have been made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince others of the virtues of this great medicine? When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, "I do not believe it would help me?" Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discouraged, exhausted with each day's work. If you have some dis-erangement of the feminine organism try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It will surely help you. Mrs. Emilie Seering, 174 St. Ann's Ave., New York, City, writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—If women who are always blue and depressed DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—If women who wish to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound they would find it the medicine they need to bring them to a more cheerful frame of mind. I was terribly worried and downcast, and was thin and bloodless. My back ached all the time, no matter how hard I tried to forget it or change my position to ease it, and the pain at the base of my brain was so bad that I sometimes thought that I would grow crazy; I had the blues so much and was always so depressed I could not seem to shake them off; half of the time I did not seem to have the urge to do my work, seemed to go wrong with me, and I was always worrying and fearing the worst. I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. After the first few does a load seemed lifted from my shoulders, I felt better in every way. The blues left me and my head stopped aching; before long my back was better too, and I looked younger and stronger I took six bottles in all, and it is with thankfulness that I acknowledge that my present good health is due to the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. If there is anything in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health.
