INTER-STATE Journal Kans., and Mis souri. Rv F L JELTZ EDITORIAL Old Stubbs turned us down and we are going to see his honors much less. The main spring when broken in some men's watch makes all balance "go gallagher." We are under no obligations to this man Stubbs whom the people call great. If he had done the right thing all would have been well Geo F. Burgess, the socialist candidate, says if he is elected to the Legislative that he would not give his friends the cold shoulder if any one will do that or has done that. As people cont live to be fooled all the time they had better cut out' politices and stand by Mr Burgess he is honest, We want it understood that Stubbs is a "d- m humbng." We would not stand for him. He is going to be the cause of Hoch's falling or his defeat. Now watch our words. Stand by the d-m rascals all that goes is all that is good. If you want to stand by us you will do well to stand by us. we are republicans but good democrats are taken along. The fact is that we have always been republican when such a man as Stubbs turns us down makes us a better republicar for Chas. Curtis Dave Mulvane and that class of people. If Stubbs' had not insulted us and other good republicans all might be well. Such men as Dave Mulvane, Capt. Phillips and John Dudley can't afford to do a thing like that. We are here to stay till such fel- lows as Stabbs is gone and forgotten. The height of Stabbs anbition is to play smart and be a big stinker with a few dollars and don't know What todo with them. D. A. Knapp Burlington Kans. has one of the finest offices in Southern Kans. The Doctor came here about four years ago and has built up one of the most lucrative practices in that part of the state. Stubbs has nothing for such a man as iton, Paul Jones one of the greatest colored men of modern times, yet he can send out hundreds of white speakers and pay them well he will say the "noggers" are a little right. Can't see how a man can afford to support Ed. Hoch a long as Stubbs has to dictate to him. Stubbs is one of the cheapest chairman's the people ever had to preside, for the devil with Stubbs, Negroes or intelligence will not join this damnable gang. Mr. J. L. Walker one of the most reliable officers on the force has done good work, everybody likes him and he gets along with everybody. In fact everyone knows Mr. Walker, Chief Stahl and Mayor Burgunotbal has in him an excellent officer. Mr. "Partial Stubbs" will find out there are other things in the newspapers beside his few plates of matter to be published in all. Negro Journals "tree" and published in the white Journals at "par." He can't fool us go ahead with his "ill white policy" and to hell with the republican party. DON'T FAIL TO READ II. In the next issue will be an excellent interview of the Hon. Paul Jones of this city to the Kansas Record Kansas city Kans, in which he outlines his position in full regarding separate schools in this state. The article is gotten up by one of the most prominent speakers of the Afro American race. W. E. SEGUINE, 413 Kans, Ave Short loans a specialty. The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FE A NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. Mr. Foy Weishaar the very capable young man of Jefferson County nominee for county clerkship, he lives on his fathers immense farm in near Nationville. Young Weishaar is a graduate of Pro Stickler's business college of this city, and has lived in Jefferson county all his life. He will be actively elected in Nov. be use everyone in every township and hamlet the county is going to vote for him. DOWN STUBBS! W. R. Stubbs deserves defeat by reason that he has said that he does not like a Negro, and no Negro unless he lick his feat need apply. The Ledger wants it understood that we will not follow "stubbs lead," and aside from that he has given Dale many thousand votes by reason of his d-arm toolishness. The nominee for the supreme court on the democratic ticket is well known throughout Kansas as a very creditable lawyer. In 1892 he held the position of Attorney General of this state and done good and serviceable work. It was much to Mr. Little's credit that he saw that the text book system was greatly reduced ignored and placed upon a scale wherein a poor man could educate his children as his rich neighbor. While the Ledger speaks for Mr. Little we do not want to be misunderstood but in an independent way the construction of the foregoing statements means men and not measures anything that is at service is our motto, and we believe with Mr. Little's wide acquaintance he is a good man. If elected to the supreme bench we have heard nothing against Mr. Little in his city (Olathe). At present he is mayor of the city and gives a great deal of his time to making Olathe a clean town. He has always conferred useful employment to colored men for the maintenance of their families and their are a chorous of voices against anyone who will say anything against him in his home town. N. W. WELLS Mr. Wells who wants to be Attorney don't of Kans. is a lawyer of Miami county, having lived there for years; He was chairman of the board or pardons under Gov. Leedy and was one of the fairest men on that board. Mr. Wells stands high in the state he has always treated the colored people fairly and white he is on the democratic ticket. He is a good man so far as the situation he sees implies there is no prejudice about Mr. Wells of Mami. BERT GRIFFIN State Senator. Tolings have changed this year and for that reason Jefferson County is asking for the State Senator. In so much the many friends of Mr. Bert Griffin "have" placed him in nomination for the place, Mr. Griffin is a great man and prominent man chant of Nortonville, his home. I elected which he will be he will represent Jefferson county on an up to date system of affairs. H. C. LINDSAY For State Senator from this district. Few men are better known here than "Hank Lindsay who has lived here ever since Topke was 'net in in it." He is the nominee for State Senator on the democratic ticket. That in fact is not poison on account of Hank Lindsays kindness an fidelity to the Negroes of this city if all go well Mr Lindsay will cut considerable ice for State Senator. R.S. VANSANT. Secretary County, Central Com. One of the prominent young men of Shawnee County, is "Reese Vansant raised here and has for many years been identified with the republican party. He is a son in law of Scott Kelsey of Oaklind ex county commissioner. He should be remembered, In 1900, when Theodore Roosevelt was Governor of New York, he was interviewed about the afro-American soldier and this is what he said: "I know of the character and bravery of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago" and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the ninth and tenth calvary came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. "The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he saved the union. He has done excellent work in all of the Indian campaigns, and while I was in the West, I had a number of opportunities of witnessing his wonderful work. He saved a massacre of the Seventh in 1890." At San Juan hill the Afro-American soldiers rendered an object lesson to all of the soldiers assembled there, they sung and fought and pushed the laggard troopers up the hill and the great victory at that point was theirs as if not more than any of the soldiers there.

Up to the hour of going to press, King Peter of Servia, was still unassassinated. Mount Vesuvius seems to be suffering once more from a severe attack of indigestion, the worst in ten years. Do not blame the dogs that disport themselves in Newport society. The poor animals cannot choose their associates. The freight rate on lemons has been reduced now that the lemonade season is about over. It's almost always that way. By a powerful effort of the imagination it may be possible to conceive of the college authorities as "abolishing football." Fort Ethan Allen is to be lighted throughout by electricity, but not in the name of the delft and the continental congress. "Women smoke? Why not?" asks a correspondent of the New York Times. Because it might give them the tobacco heart. "There may be two railways to the top of Mt. Blanc," says a correspondent. What a good dinner he must have had at the cafe. In 1903 the production of gold in this country was $75,951,700 and of silver $29,322,000, making a total of $105,273,700, and yet— Can you see yourself identifying an automobile by its "decalcomia monogram" as it whizzes by at the rate of thirty miles an hour? Some hypercritical person says that novelists shouldn't put real persons into their books. He needn't worry. Precious few of them do it. A big rug factory was burned to the ground in New Jersey the other day, and imported rugs will be scarce until it gets into operation again. Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wizard, received a new kind of shock when he discovered that his son was selling a bogus cure-all battery. There are two Mrs. James Brown Potters now, but since they are never likely to meet under the same roof hostilities need not be looked for. Maybe the scientist who says the sky-scraper is doomed is mad because the elevator broke down some day when he was in a hurry to get to his office. Since the manufacturer who puts iron into life preservers loomed into publicity all other candidates in the "meanst man" contest have sunk into oblivion. The report that a surgical operation was necessary to compel Russell Sage to pay out $750 to settle a lawsuit is ill-founded. It was merely a case of paying $750 or $50,000. More money is spent for candy than for hats and gloves. But then, you know a girl may have a dozen fellows at a time, while a woman only has one husband—at a time. Looking over the expense account of a nation with experience in war will do more to break other nations of the fighting mania than will the acts of any peace congress. The news that King Edward will set the fashion of wearing knee breeches does not bring much joy to the man whose legs look as though they had been shaped over a flour barrel. Judge Herrick of New York a few days ago awarded $500 to a pretty girl who had lost the tip of her finger in a stamping machine and sued for damages. Valuable girl, at that rate. Expansion in the Salvation Army so that it has to be divided into an eastern and western section must make the evil one and his cohorts feel that they are a disappearing race like the Indian. Mrs. James Brown Potter has withdrawn a play that was ridiculed by the London critics. If they had merelyalled it indecent the profits would have been too heavy to permit its withdrawal. The girls of Pottstown, Pa., have formed an anti-kissing club. It is pretty hard to understand how they can have the face—unless, of course, they are in the habit of waking up nights to rest it. The news that the Alaskan gold product for the present year is estimated at $26,000,000 is a reminder that Secretary Seward made a good bargain when the United States bought the territory from Russia for $7,200,000. We notice by the fashion news that nothing but a practical dress should be worn on an automobile trip. We still think, however, that a practical hat, practical shoes and a few other practical things would not be altogether out of place. Chancellor McCracken of New York University Medical college is grieved because rich men don't give more money toward the development of medical science. But the average rich man doesn't have much left after paying doctors' bills for the family. You may warn your officers against matrimony. Gen. Corbin, but one of the compensations and encouragements of a soldier's life is the admiration that his appearance is designed to excite, and he cannot escape the consequences of being so beautiful. They have organized an "Injun" band— The thousand boys upon our street; I'm sure no Indians in the land Our Indians can beat. They all come out at 6 o'clock And whoop it up till 8; The biggest copper on the block Can't keep those youngsters straight. With sound the air is bursting full— They have no use for paleface laws; The chieftain's name is Sitting Bull, And all the little girls are squaws. The street repalier came last week— Italians, roller, brick and sand. And every urchin that could shriek, Turned out to join the Injun band. BEHIND THE ROCK BY THOMAS FOYE Maj. Davis had the reputation of being a martinet, and whenever a private soldier found himself before a court martial he would make up his mind that if the major had a voice in the matter he was as good as convicted. There were those who excused the officer's harshness on the ground that he belonged to the old school—the school that looked upon the rank and file as dogs—but the fact remained that he was not popular with either his officers or his men. ambushed. The spot selected was big rock alongside the trail, and To was on the watch there the morning after his escape. It was seven o'clock before the echoes of the iron-shod hoofs of the major's horse reached his ears, and an instant later he was peering out from behind the rock. It was the major, alone on the trail. Affairs in the Indian country were at peace when the post commander at Fort Brown applied for and secured a long leave of absence, and Major Davis was ordered to take charge in his place. It was a frontier post with a small garrison of old veterans, and there was no call for red tape or rigid discipline. The best drill master in the army cannot have taught those men anything new, and the officers felt that they had a right to loaf a little when warm weather set in. The United States was in no danger of invasion from a foreign foe, and the red man had had enough of war to last him for two or three years, when Major Davis arrived and assumed command. An hour later he began to issue general orders, and a groan of discontent was heard throughout the garrison. Then began what was characterized as a "flum-a-diddle time." The lines of discipline were rigidly drawn and the drills were frequent and exacting. The finger of the martinet pointed in many directions, and the men who growled went to the guard house on a trumpet. At all military posts there are a few favored men—men who suffer now and then from old wounds or have performed their brave deeds, and are tacitly allowed to take things easy. Such a man was private Tom Gorman at Fort Brown. Two bullets had been fired into him as he rode with dispatches across the plains one night, and though not incapacitated as a soldier he was given light duty and coddled a bit. The coddling ceased soon after the major's arrival. He was on the look-out for such men. They were returned to duty, and even given extra duty, and the mild protests of captains and lieutenants were met with the formal reply. "This is a military post, not a hospital; and no man, unless excused by the doctor at sick call, will be exempt from duty." In a month the major was a well-hated man. He realized the fact and gloried in it. Private Gorman returned to duty with a complaint, and subsequent events proved that the martinet had a special eye on him. He was twice reprimanded during company drill one day, and following that he was placed on sentry duty and took his post at midnight in a rain storm. It was an inside post, and of no consequence. The wounded man took the chance of getting under shelter for a short time. The major went the rounds that night, caught him derelict and saw him hustled off to the guard house. The affair was looked upon as seriously as if the Slux warriors were at the gates of the fort in war paint, instead of being in their lodges fifty miles away. A court martial was called and a good soldier disgraced. Private Gorman did not serve out his sentence of thirty days in the guard house. When he had served five days he was assisted to escape. He was furnished with a carbine and food, and he went into hiding within three miles of the fort. He felt that he had been unjustly treated and that he had been dis- A graced without cause, and he calmly and deliberately made up his mind to kill the man responsible. It was for this reason that he lingered near the fort. Almost every morning the major rode down to the boiling spring, three miles down the rough trail, and there were fifty places where he could be ambushed. The spot selected was a big rock along the trail, and Tom was on the watch there the morning after his escape. It was seven o'clock before the echoes of the iron-shod hoofs of the major's horse reached his ears, and an instant later he was peering out from behind the rock. It was the major, alone on the trail. C. W. "She's got the face of an angel!" No one was in sight in either direction. As the soldier made ready with his carbine the major let fall his reins and drew a letter from his pocket. As he did so a photograph fell from the letter to the stony highway unnoticed by him. Queer as it may seem, curiosity about the photograph overbalanced Tom Gorman's thirst for revenge for the moment, and he let the officer pass. A minute later he had the card in his hand. It was the picture of a little girl not over five years old—a sweet-faced little thing—and underneath was written "From Elsie to Papa." No soldier at Fort Brown had asked or could know whether their martinet was a married man or not. They had not discussed his home ties—only his discipline. Here was a new factor in the case. Gorman crept back to his ambush with his eyes fixed on the face, and his own features began to soften. "From Elsie to Papa," he repeated over and over again. "Damm me; but it must be his kid! He got the letter last night. She's got the face of an angel, and when her mother tells her that her father is dead——" Private Gorman found his heart in his throat. He was not a father, but he was a lover of children. He'd have given three months' pay to pick Elsie up in his arms and give her a kiss. There were dimples in her cheeks and a smile on her mouth. He held the picture to his lips and whispered: "You ain't to blame for it, little one. Whatever he is to us, and badly as he's used me, he loves you and you him, and I can't break your heart in trying to get even. I'm here to kill him, and I was going to do it when he came back; but you're too sweet a thing to be left fatherless." The major came riding back, his eyes on the ground as if looking for some lost object. At the rock he halted. "If you hadn't lost it you would have been lying out there with a bullet through your heart!" whispered Gorman as he rose and looked after the disappearing major. And then, thrusting the photograph into his breast pocket, he shouldered his carbine, gave himself a shake, and headed for the land of the outlaw and the deserter—Thomas Foye, in Boston Globe. Pin Prick Cause of a Victory. Nelson gained his great victory of the Nile through a pin prick. It came about in this way. Sir John Actor, then commander-in-chief of the land and sea forces of Naples, happened to be in his wife's dressing room at the moment she was preparing for dinner. Lady Actor's French maid was also in the room, and was so startled at receiving a letter from her brother, a sailor in the French navy, whom she believed to be dead, that she ran a pin into her mistress' flesh. Apologizing for her carelessness, the maid stated the cause of her surprise. With carefully suppressed eagerness, Sir John offered to read the letter while the maid continued her duties. The maid gladly consented. Having read the letter the commander-in-chief left the house in search of Lord Nelson, who had in vain been seeking the French fleet. He found him and imparted to him the contents of the letter. It gave all the infomation the admiral had so long endeavored to obtain. Setting sail immediately Nelson came up with the French, and the victory of the Nile was the result.

He had been drinking, and this made him more communicative than wise. "Yes, sir, I am a book forger," he continued. "I make good money at it, too. Last year I made $7,500." "What, may I ask, is book forgery?" said the man's companion. "I'll tell you. It is the binding of old books in such a way that people think old masters bound them. I can take an old book worth, say, $5, and I can put on it a Grolier binding that will make it worth $200. That will only be about two days' work—$195 earned in two days. "I used to bind books legitimately at a binder and my salary was $35 a week. I couldn't live on that, you know, with my expensive tastes. "Well, one day a rich patron brought a Grolier to the shop to be repaired, and I, just for fun, copied the binding. Then I got hold of an old French pamphlet and I covered it with the forged Grolier binding I had made. Afterward I took the volume to a dealer in old books and he bought it like a shot for $105. "Why, he said, 'this is a genuine Grolier.' "That started me in the business, I made a study of the finest old bindings that exist. These are the bindings that were made for the Valois kings. Grolier and Malioli were the great artists of the time, and their bindings, in the libraries of Francis I, Henry II and Charles IX were the most splendid that the world has ever seen. "The simpler examples of Grolier and Malioli are the ones I forge. I sell my forgeries to millionaires. In seven years I haven't had a complaint."—Exchange. A Sultan's Notions. The first time the present Sultan of Morocco saw a compass he was very inquisitive as to its use. When it was explained that the trembling needle pointed to the north uniformly he seemed interested, but incredulous. Finally he declared flatly that he couldn't believe the story; there must be some kind of clockwork about it. In a conversation with him an English visitor learned that in the sultan's mind Belgium is the leading country of Europe, because most of the arms used in Morocco are received from Brussels. Error of Taxidermist. The little boy and his father were gazing at the specimens of stuffed birds and animals in the taxidermist's window. Among them was a number of game birds mounted on oak panels, hanging head down as though depending from a nail. They were supposed to represent game that had been shot for the table, such as a brace of woodcock, snake or bob whites. "Father," remarked the little boy, "those birds are not dead. Look at their eyes!" Herein the little boy was more observant than the taxidermist, who had put bright, lifelike wax eyes into birds that were supposed to be dead. The fault is observable in many pieces of this kind that have been mounted to grace the walls of a dining room or hall. Field Guns Soon Obsolete. Though adopted no more than six or seven years ago, the whole of the German quick-firing field artillery has been condemned as "obsolete" and is to be replaced by shield-protected guns recolling on their own limber. This is the Japanese type of field gun. tion papers, they showed him where to make his mark in the circle. Johnson had just finished the dictionary.

FOR THE GUEST CHAMBER. Here Is an Inexpensive and Amusing Form of Entertainment. The home-maker who is refurbishing her guest chamber in connection with the fall house cleaning can install an inexpensive feature which will afford much pleasure and amusement for the girls who may visit her during the winter. Let her buy four of the memorandum tablets with celluloid leaves, mounted on oxidized silver or alumnum cases, which sell as low as nineteen cents each. They are small enough to be attached to a chatelaine, but for this purpose they should be attached, one each, to the four bedposts in the guest chamber by ribbons which match the color scheme of the apartment. At the other end of the ribbon hangs a tiny pencil. On each of the four tablets every young girl who occupies the room on the initial night of her visit in the house will write the name of a man. In her half-conscious, waking moments her glance will alight on one of the bedposts, and the name inscribed on that tablet is presumably the name of the man she is to wed. The celluloid can be washed off and no lead pencil inscription remains to tell the tale of a young girl's super stition. Electric Box for Curly Locks. In the newest New York theaters electrical appliances are put in the dressing rooms to assist actors in their make-up, as well as to insure protection from fire by discontinuing the use of gas. From time immemorial actors have warmed up their grease paints and heated their curling irons over gas jets. The flame was surrounded by a small wire screen, to prevent wgfs from catching fire. In the Lyceum theater, for instance, there is no gas in the dressing rooms. Just above the dressing table is a nickel-plated oox, shaped like a flat cigar box turned on end. At the bottom are racks for holding and heating curling irons, and on top indented pans for melting grease paint and cosmetics. A little key at the side turns the current on and off. "Alcohol lamps are not much preferable to gas in days when absolute safety in theaters is demanded," said the stage manager. "As soon as a demand for these electric makeup boxes was made known a Harlem man who formerly repaired telephones for a living invented one. He is not repairing telephones any longer." It Was Really "Still Life." "There seems," said the chairman of the hanging committee to the young artist who had offered a picture for the exhibition, "to be a mistake of some kind here. You call your picture a 'still life,' but we find it to be a portrait of a man." "Yes," the artist answered. "It's all right. There's no mistake." "But there must be. A portrait can't be catalogued as a still life. You don't seem to understand that a person cannot be represented in a still life picture." "Oh, but this is a portrait of a deaf and dumb man." Empress Smokes a Pipe. The empress of Japan not only smokes, but uses a silver pipe with a stem 10 inches long. The bowl is small—in fact, only a quantity of tobacco sufficient to give the smoker two or three whiffs can be put into it. Then the ashes are knocked out and the pipe is carefully cleaned before it is refilled—a process gone through many times in the course of an afternoon. TALK ON ADVERTISING Pure Food Factories that Make Postum and Grape-Nuts. Empress a Caricaturist. It is well known that the Empress of Russia has decided talent as a caricaturist. By turns all members of the royal family had been victims of her pencil—that is, all except the czar, who begged to be included. The czarina put him off with excuses for some time, but not long ago the caricature appeared. The czar, crowned and bearing the sceptre, was seated in a baby carriage drawn with a thread by his mother. The point was plain enough, and caused much restrained amusement among the courtiers; but the czar professed himself unable to see it, and seemed anything but pleased with the production. A Father of Kings. Four of the great-grandchildren of King Christian of Denmark are in the direct line of succession to imperial royal thrones. These are Prince Georgios, a son of the crown prince of Greece; Prince Albert Edward, son of the Prince of Wales; Prince Frederick, son of Prince Christian of Denmark, and Czarowitz Alexis, heir to the Russian throne. Could Get No Best. Freeborn, Minn., October 17 (Special)—Mr. R. E. Goward, a well-known man here is rejoicing in the relief from suffering he has obtained through using Dodd's Kidney rills. His experience is well worth repeating as it should point the road to health to many another in a similar condition. "I had an aggravating case of Kidney Trouble," says Mr. Goward, "that gave me no rest day or night but using a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills put new life in me and I feel like a new man. "I am happy to state I have received great and wonderful benefit from Dodd's Kidney Pills. I would heartily recommend all sufferers from Kidney Trouble to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a fair trial as I have every reason to believe it would never be regretted."

Post to Publishers The sunshine that makes a business plant grow is advertising. Growing a business nowadays is something like growing an apple-tree. You may select good seed, plant it in good soil, water and work with it, but the tree will not produce fruit until another and most powerful, energizing and life-giving element is brought to bear. You must have sunshine and lots of it. Can you expect to ripen apples in the dark? Can you expect to grow a profitable business plant nowadays without the sunshine of public favor produced by advertising? This Postum plant is a good illustration of that law. It seems but a short time ago when I put a few men at work in the carriage house of the barn you have seen to day, where we began making Postum coffee. The seed then planted, less than 9 years ago, was a new kind of apple seed and it was not altogether certain how the people would like the apples. We'd our work thoroughly and plenty of it. We knew we had a good Pure Food Factories that Ma apple tree of fine quality but how to develop our work and turn the apple tree into a productive and profitable tree was another question. It needed sunshine and the kind of sunshine that is spread by the newspapers and magazines. It is an absolute certainty that without the publicity thus given—in other words, the sunshine—the business never would have developed. You have seen to-day factory buildings—thirteen or fourteen in number—covering many acres of ground, employing hundreds of workpeople, producing food and drink in an aggregate of four million packages per month, which goes to every civilized country on the globe, and yet the entire enterprise is less than 9 years old. We have found it necessary, inasmuch as the tree has grown and the apples matured by hard work and sunshine, to continue the work and the sunshine day in and day out, month in and month out, the sunshine appropriation amounting to approximately a million dollars a year for advertising, for experience teaches that if you mature the tree under strong sunshine, and bring it up to a thrifty and healthful state where it produces profitable apples, you can not withdraw that sunshine else the tree will gradually die.

Some thoughtful man might say that if what you manufacture has merit once you get a trade established peer ple will continue to purchase, even if the advertising is stopped, but to add on that conclusion would be a fatal mistake, for there are always bright men on the lookout to steal your apples, and if you give them the chance they will come in and take the fruit sure. Right here let us drive a nail not a shingle nail but a forty penn spike. Your article must have merit far and away beyond the ordinary advertised thing. It should be the very best that human intelligence and ingenuity can produce. Then you have a foundation to build upon that will not slip out from under when the building grows heavy. There are persons ignorant enough to believe that a poor article can be advertised from a success. It cannot and any one who tries the experiment will pay heart for his experience. Critically examine any well known and advertised article that has been years on the market and ake Postum and Grape-Nuts. it will be found to possess exceptional merit. In ancient days newspaper publishers considered an advertisement of evil but a necessary evil, and that should be hidden away as careful as possible, so that no one would cover that the paper was trying to make a little money by inserting public announcements. A paper run the way to day would fail. The most successful exponents of the new plan of doing business will ink and paper are using every possible means to make the announcements attractive and sought after by the readers. It is safe to say that thousands of women read the newspaper—not the telegraphic page, but the pages on talning announcements of bargains, stockings, skirts, hats, gloves, plant furniture, food for the table, etc. You have been invited to visit the Bite Creek for the purpose of view one of the most unique advertised buildings in the world, also to be over a large business built up as tained, nourished and kept active sunshine, and, at the same time, had an opportunity to see one of the most thrifty, active and prosperous parts of its size in the world, built up largely by the same kind of sunshine.

CONSUMPTION --- After three years of patient research Prof. Redard, of Geneva, assisted by Prof. Emery, has discovered a new anesthetic which promises to revolutionize the practice of dentistry. Finding that the nervous system is influenced by colored light, the professor experimented with each hue in turn, and soon perceived that blue has an extraordinary soothing effect on the nerves. Putting this discovery to practical use, he now shuts up a patient in a dark room and exposes his eyes to a blue light of sixteen candle-power for three minutes, causing him to lose all sense of pain, although at the same time retaining his senses. A tooth may then be painlessly extracted with none of the after-effects on the system which sometimes follow ether or chloroform. An American Fought a King. While the Atlantic squadron was in the bay at Lisbon the band of the flagship Kearsarge gave a concert at the Royal Gun club in the Portuguese capital. Among the members of the club are many leading naval officers. The king was present. Several officers of the squadron had been invited to the reception at the club. A number of petty officers and bluejackets were ordered there to give an exhibition, and some of the tars took their boxing gloves with them. The king grew so enthusiastic that he put on the gloves with one of the officers. The latter is a crack boxer, and the light tattoo afforded unbounded delight to the irreverent American tars. Royal Lips Touched Each Straw. A hat made of straws, every one of which had been touched by royal lips, was worn by an Englishman at Boulogne some years ago. The man who wore it had followed the king, when he was Prince of Wales, for a couple of years, collecting the straws through which he absorbed iced drinks, and when he had secured enough he had them made into the hat, of which he was immensely proud.

When it was first developed it had the usual mechanical defects of a new invention and Mr. Edison has been spending much time in his factory overcoming these defects. The engineers who saw him last weak say that the Edison storage battery is now perfected and that it will not be long before it is put on the market. THIS WOMAN KNOWS WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DISCOVERED TO HER GREAT JOY. Mrs. De Long Finds That the Indescribable Pains of Rheumatism Can Be Cured Through the Blood. Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 160 West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found herself suddenly attacked by rheumatism in the winter of 1896. She gave the doctor a chance to help her, which he failed to improve, and then she did some thinking and experimenting of her own. She was so successful that she deems her it duty to tell the story of her escape from suffering: "My brother-in-law," she says, "was enthusiastic on the subject of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a purifier of the blood, and when I was suffering extreme pains in the joints of my ankles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor was giving me no relief, I began to reflect that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and that if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so good for the blood they must be good for rheumatism and worth a trial. "I was in bed half the time, suffering with pain that cannot be described to one who has never had the disease. It would concentrate sometimes in one set of joints. When it was in my feet I could not walk; when it was in my elbows and wrists I could not even draw the coverlets over my body. I had suffered in this way for weeks before I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two we 's after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was entirely well. To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then used altogether. For several years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I have recommended them to others as an excellent remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish the blood with all the elements that are needed to build up healthy tissue, strong muscles and nerves, capable of bearing the strain that nature puts upon them. They really make new blood and cure all diseases arising from disorders of the blood or nerves, such as sclatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous prostration, anemia and all forms of weakness in either male or female. They are sold by all druggists. The fellow who stutters has lots of time to think twice before he speaks.

KANSAS ITEMS KANSAS ITEMS In a joint in Horton is a sign which reads: "If You can't Pay, Don't Load Up." The sign was painted for a coal yard, but a wag stole it. Mack P. Cretcher gives respectful notice to Colorado that what Kansas wants in real water. "Colorado is welcome," he says, "to that yellow paint it has been sending down the Arkansas river." "Atwood Is Ready," is a headline in the Hutchinson News. It refers, however, to the readiness of the county seat of Rawlins countoward the Gulf, Hutchinson & Northwestern, and not to John H. Atwood. A man was in Abilene a few days ago looking for his partner, who, he said, had disappeared "with $300 and a sandy complexion." The warmer weather which has prevailed in Cloud county for several days is attributed to the presence of a "Saho" trout in Concordia. Why not leave the state treasury dispute to a referee, and make Joseph L. Bristow that referee? He has had considerable experience in such matters. A man who had on his person only five razors, fifteen keys, two files, a sandbag and a bottle of nitro-glycerine, aroused the suspicion even of the Manhattan police. Attorney General Coleman "is not ready to act," says a Topeka dispatch. As far as results are concerned, it does not appear to make much difference whether Mr. Coleman "acts" or not. A non-union fortune teller who "tells" for ten cents is operating in Emporia. Junction City is installing a new police alarm system. "Why," asks Tom Cordry, "alarm the police?" An Atchison man who receives a pension of $12 a month was married recently, "for his money," the gossips say. Wlchita is hoping that the Good Roads convention there last week may have paved the way for better roads in Sedgwick county. Deacon House has observed that the Episcopalians have almost as much trouble with the divorce problem as the Methodists have with dancing. James M. Lewis of Kinsley, who succeeded E. C. Little as private secretary to Governor Leedy, refuses to follow "In His Steps" any longer. A Methodist clergyman in Parker had for his topic Sunday evening, "What Made That Man a Drunkard?" But what good is an inventory of his load going to do? "Things are getting so hot down at Topeka," says Charles M. Harger of Abilene, "that visitors leave by the first train for fear they will be accused of embezzling something." Angie Mansfield of Marion is evidently a sly old fox. Anyhow, the Record says: "Angie Mansfield slipped away to the fair and is back again, and all without our knowing anything about it till now." From the tone of the papers printed west of the ninety-eighth meridian it is inferred that "Prof" Wilcox, the Iowa man who said the people of Western Kansas are all crazy, had better not venture into that section unless is disguised.

A Topeka man who drew a claim at the Rosebud agency has written a letter to the folks at home, from which the Capital makes these extracts: "A terrific prairie fire swept over this section of the landscape a few days ago, and it will not be necessary for me to mow any this fall. It burned all the hay and feed, but I never did like hay. "Water is getting scarce in that creek forty miles east of here, but I think I have enough 'snakebite' to last until it rains next summer.

"I like this beautiful, cool climate. They tell me it it gets real chilly sometimes, the mercury going down as deep as forty below. "Please send me some buttons and a needle—I have thread." Two young women in Great Bend who always entertain their visitors on the front porch are known as the Step sisters. Squirrels in the Winfield park are so tame that they will eat off a man's hand. At least, one man who tried it lost the end of his finger. Mr. Hoch should make known the identity of the understudy who is getting out the Campaign. While his soul is lacking in Mr. Hoch's infinite scope, it yet it is attuned to whatsoever things are of good report. An impression prevails that R. M. Chilcott's Louisville Lyre should have been established in La Harpe. The Republicans are so crowded out in Barton county that they are reported to be working "shoulder to shoulder." The Clay Center Times has no desire to appear immodest, but candor compels it to say: "Honestly and without prejudice, we believe the Times is the best weekly paper in Kansas. There may be others nearly as good, but there is only one in its class and Clay Center has it." Electric Campaign Buttons. The inventor of an electric campaign button says it is a great campaign barometer. He reports that at the high price of $1.25 each more than 51,000 of them have been sold through the United States on orders, and at the ration of five Roosevelt buttons to one Parker button. Chicago hzs purchased 3,000 of Roosevelt and 900 of Parker, which is also about the ratio n New York city. In Indiana 1,000 Roosevelt buttons have been sold against 210 Parker. In the Southern states it is generally 2 to 1 on Parker, though in Loussaint these figures are reversed. West Virginia has purchased 320 Davis buttons, 148 Parker and 960 Roosevelt. Color Line in New York. The color line was drawn a trifle too tightly in a New York restaurant last week. A distinguished Hindoo traveling under the name of Anchata A. B. Clayton, entered the place, clad in immaculate evening clothes of the latest London cut. The waiter could only see his pronounced brunette complexion and denied his request for a table. The visitor expostulated indignantly, but in vain, and he was on the point of being ejected when one in authority hurried up and after making profound apologies prevailed upon the Oriental traveler to accept a place of honor in the cafe. Incredible Speed in Writing. The late Colonel Prentiss Ingraham, according to Mrs. Ella W. Peattie, wrote in his literary career of thirty-four years 600 novels, averaging 70,000 words each, and 400 novellets, averaging 10,000 words each. This means a yearly output of 1,351,941 words, daily 3,707, or 154.5 hourly. Also he wrote several plays, besides much verse and other things for newspapers and magazines. This on top of an active and adventurous life as soldier of the Confederacy and then soldier of fortune in various parts of the world. And yet his income was but about $10,000 a year. Mummies Are Scarce A London trade paper announces a shortage in the mummy market, which is felt by color-makers. It is explained that mummies, in good condition and not over 2,000 years old, make, when properly ground, a rich light brown which is in great favor among artists. But, where human mummies cannot be had, mummified cats make a fair substitute. The skeleton market shows a slump and prices have fallen sharply owing to the Russo-Japanese war. The Boer war sent first grade skeletons down to $17.50. They promise to be lower-now.

Sold by all Druggists, 85C. DON'T ACCEPT SUSTENTIUTE, Old Vanderbilt's Complaint. It is reported that the late Cornellus Vanderbilt, just before his death said to a friend: "I don't see what good it does me—all this money that you say is mine. I can't eat it; I can't spend it, in fact, I never saw it and never nad it in my hands for a moment; I dress no better than a private secretary, and cannot eat as much as my coachman. I live in a big servants' boarding house, am bothered to death by begarves, have dyspepsia and most of my money is in the hands of others who use it mainly for their own benefit." Cigars Cheaper Than Cigarettes. Probably in no nation under t.e.sun is smoking a more prevalent habit than in Turkey. It is now chiefly in the form of cigarettes that tobacco is consumed, and as Turkey produces some of the best kinds of the weed for use in the dalty tubes, we may expect the cigarette to become increasingly popular. Strange as it may seem, cigars are in many parts of Turkey cheaper than cigarettes, and this naturally causes an increased demand for these goods. Lord Curzon's Chirography. Lord Curzon's writing was so bad at Oxford that when he wrote to a relative and to a friend with whom he was wont to be candid about that relative's shortcomings and put the letters in the wrong envelopes no harm resulted. His kinsman couldn't read the letter, but surmised it must be a request for money and sent a check at once. SAFEST FOOD In Any Time of Trouble is Grape-Nuts. Food to rebuild the strength and that is pre-digested must be selected when one is convalescent. At this time there is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this food is all nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some time ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. I left me so weak I could not properly digest food of any kind and I also had much bowel trouble which left me a weak, helpless wreck. "I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the tonics helped me until I finally tried Grape-Nuts food morning and evening. This not only supplied food that I thought delicious as could be, but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my housework, sleep well, can eat anything without any trace of bowel trouble and for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in gold." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Typhoid fever, like some other diseases, attacks the bowels and frequently sets up bleeding and makes them for months incapable of digesting the starches and therefore pre-digested Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well-known reason that in Grape-Nuts all the starches have been transformed into grape sugar. This means that the first stage of digestion has been mechanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts food at the factories and therefore anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can handle it and grow strong, for all the nourishment is still there. There's a sound reason and 10 days' trial proves. T. Two severe cases of Ovarian Trouble Two severe cases of Ovarian Trouble and two terrible operations avoided. Mrs. Emmons and Mrs. Coleman each tell how they were saved by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I am so pleased with the results obtained from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I feel it a duty and a privilege to write you about it. "I suffered for more than five years with ovarian troubles, causing an unpleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a faintness would come over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise seemed to correct. Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot, however, within a few weeks — and saved me from an operation — all my troubles had disappeared, and I found myself once more healthy and well. Words fail to describe the real, true, grateful feeling that is in my heart, and I want to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don't dally with medicines you know nothing about, but take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and take my word for it, you will be a different woman in a short time." — Mrs. Laura Emmons, Walkerville, Ont. Another Case of Ovarian Trouble Cured Without an Operation. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham."—For several years I was troubled with ovarian trouble and a painful and inflamed condition, which kept me in bed part of the time. I did so dread a surgical operation. "I tried different remedies hoping to get better, but nothing seemed to bring relief until a friend who had been cured of ovarian trouble, through the use of your compound, induced me to try it. I took it faithfully for three months, and at the end of that time was glad to find that I was a well woman. Health is nature's best gift to woman, and if you lose it and can have it restored through Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I feel that all suffering women should know of this."—Mrs. LAURA BELLE COLLEMAN, Commercial Hotel, Nashville, Tenn. member such letters as above with ing which he says is "just as a man has such a record of cure upound; accept no other and rewrite to Mrs. Pinkham if you do not understand. or advice is free.
