INTER-STATE Journal Kans., and Missouri. Rv F L JALTZ EDITORIAL "By the way" we are still at it. Don't tread on me is the serpent device: Now we guess our "damned ones' nies" will be good. The editor has recently returned from the South. Those Kansas City devils are still at it but Mr. Editor has won. The republican party is the ship all else is the sea. This week was very cold making it an unusual cold world. Chief Stahl says he wants to see how survey the boys are Judge Gutherie is postmaster in need he is doing his duty. A man who shirks from a colored skin in the employ of the government is a d-m fool. Doc. Newman is grooming him self for auditor, it is fun for th millions. The altal a king still holds court at Darland for the benefit of the pointats. Gov elect Hoch has said no whiskeyies need apply, to him fo obs no one blames him tor that. Henry Monroe is groomig himself long with Will Vanorsdol for county clerk, it is more fun than, in sevent years. The people over Kany, are well, seated with our mode of doing things, and they say they will and by us: President Roosevelt has given better satisfaction to the nat on in all his predecessors excusing Time will tell is a very true say ing and time has told how fast tide has been traveling and hence tide has been stopped Congressman Curtts has shown the public that he is congressman adeed. No flies on him as representative of the people. For the last twelve months local papers have told big stories on us but they have only made us great that do you think of that. Booker Washington's recent utterances are sufficient to serve the public with enough humiliation for the next quarter of a century. Just returned from the south and had a good time reached Kansas in time as we were out without good, to hear the glad news of our acquittal: John M. Wright is the proper man to ask the next convention for something in the shape of state recognition and he will come pretty ear receiving it too." We don't care what you do and day of us we are going to live here just the same and when we get good and ready we will depart for fields ut known. C. D. Miller wants the office of marshal of city court, he is well known to our readers and will do his duty if elected. Hon. A. K. Rodges is the efficient constant postmaster at this place is the right man in the right place he is competent. Don't monkey around here we are running this paper and if you don't put your announcement in this paper you will find no smiles awaiting you at this end of the road. We want your notice. The editor of the paper has won again, after drawing first blood. He kept it up and the case against him is a blank and everyone here and elsewhere knew it before the result was announced. The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEL NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. Councilman James C. Shiree from fifth ward is a candidate for election subject to the republican primaries when they are held. We are authorized to announce the name of M. M.

Howard, as will appear from his announcement elsewhere in his paper, is a candidate to counselman from the third ward subject to the decision of the republican primaries. Mr. Howard has to our personal knowledge been a resident of this ward for the last fifteen years and has been actively engaged in business during that time, in the course of which he has made a host of friends. His residence at 100 Clay street, is one of the most elegant in that section of the city and the success he has made in private business is the best guarantee that he will serve the public faithfully. S A SWENDSON. For 6th Ward Councilman. S. A Swendson councilman from the 6th ward, and a candidate for re-election, need go no further than his record during the five years that he has served the city for an endorsement for another term. Mr. Swendson has been one of the most efficient and faithful of our councilmen and his voice has always been heard in favor of all that would appertain to the city's best interest. He has been build and fearless and we believe the people have appreciated this and need no further invitation to support a man who has done such aplendid work for economy and for the improvement of the city that is making it a model for the west. Lacygne Kansas Just before Christmas this Burg" was a dull as dull could be, the editor of the State Ledger" was here and had a good time with the local politicians he met editor Dennis of the Journal and many other gentlemen distinguished for their positions and left for the south. Pleaston The nice little city on the Friisco system is Pleasant in L yon county there we met Frauk Smith Postmaster of the Observer of that city and many more responsible business men. The colored people as a whole own their own homes and while it was very cold at that point when we left yet a glad smile greeted us all along the line Mound City. The above city is the county seat the city was a little dull when we were there yet the people were high cultured and turned their home open to us and a good feast was sread. We spoke on Friday eve the 30th in Rev. Pine neys church on "the way to treat an intelligent and worthy minister" we were the guest of Mr and Mrs H.

We have been around the globe a good deal since we were here with you, but nothing startles us like the big stories told on us by two of the daily papers of Topeka, call them by names val will whistle, yours for fairness. Truth crushed to earth will rise again, and so it is with all in mortal souls whose mission is to do n't by all mon. Our old political enemies who de spise is feel like "thirty cents" for all we know. For we do know they are beat into "utter darkness." Just give us a chance and we will not ask you to let us stay here, but we will stay ere "the heavens fail or "cease to be." This paper has started out again to do its best and let the Public know we are not looking nor asking for tame but justice is all we ask. The best thing to read about in this paper is the article where it say "Jeltzwins" "you might have known that before as there was no ease against us from the start, and the finish is all "smiles to go." The richest thing we saw was a copy of Nick Chiles' Xmas edition down in the state of Mississippi while we were down South. All the big stories told on us turns out to Be nothijng of effect now think how cheap all our enemies feel just about now. Olathe is a dull city just now. The newspapers in Kansas that have frequently discussed us and jeous can now say to each other "We told you so". Don't always believe all that you hear. Capt. Wintrode says he will run again for the office of court marsh Capt. will make his next two years as good as the two just closed it reelected. He has an excellent deputy of the race who gives imminent satisfaction and on that account has caused the people to speak very kind of him and his chief. Colony and Blue Mound kaus delegation that had followed us around the circuit met us at the train with a fine band of music and scorched us to a first class lunch room where our wants were made known and everything was in order ti the whistle sounded the new year in and the old year out, at which time we set sail for kansas City to hear that the famous assault case against us would be no more hence you can see the result of some of oursojourn during the induction of the holidays.

A farmer came to us a few days ago, saying that you are always telling us to break the hard pan and subsol of our land. You are no doubt correct, but what is a poor man with only one horse to do? This is our advice to him and all such farmers: Take pea stubble that is intended for cotton next year. The leaves and remnants of vines are now on the ground. They should be saved. Use a six-inch shovel and lay off the rows cotton width as early as possible. When that is done, take a tongue or diamond point plow and run in the same furrow. That will break the hard pan. Then do the same thing for the middle, leaving the freezes to pulverize the soil. If land is intended for corn, make the rows proper width and run the furrows in the middle. That requires a little time, but it will pay any farmer cultivating lands. Another plan for one-horse farmers is to swap labor. Buy two-horse plows and harrows in command, and take its time about using them. They will soon be able to buy another horse. Two farmers could thus unite. The Telephone Girl;" He uses shocking language." The Electrician: "What voltage?" CAUSE AND CURE OF RHEUMATISM. Shown by numerous cures made by Dodd's Kidney Pills. They cure the Kidneys and the Rheumatism cures itself—Remarkable case of Maggie E. Deckert. Eagle River, Wis., Jan. 16.—(Special)—That rheumatism is caused by disordered kidneys is proved by the cures Dodd's Kidney Pills are making in every state in the Union. They cure the Kidneys and the Rheumatism cures itself. A cure that has caused deep interest in this neighborhood is that of Maggie E. Deckert. In speaking of it she says: "I had kidney trouble and rheumatism and was so lame I could not walk. I could not sleep for Iached all over. I was in a terrible state and firmly believe that if I had not used Dodd's Kidney Pills I would be dead. I took nine boxes of them and they have done me more good than all the other medicines I ever took. Now my aches are all gone, I can eat and sleep and I am feeling good. I want all the world to know that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." If the ostrich knew how much his feathers were worth we would be prouder than the pencook. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES. Iching.

Nothing more effectually wears a girl than to have a young man threaten en to kiss her and fail to carry out his threat. Cold Storage for Sweet Potatoes. The ideal method of keeping seed potatoes is claimed to be cold storage. Potatoes thus kept at the Ohio station have come out sound and fresh with no indication of sprouting and the vitality unimpaired, even so late as the 1st of June. It is important, however, that the cold storage room should not fall below 35 degrees, nor should it rise much above 40 degrees. When cold storage is not available, sprouting may be in some measure prevented by shoveling the potatoes frequently. Good for Cattle. The feeding of pumpkins, beets, carrots, turnips and potatoes to cattle should be done more with a view of adding variety to the food than to giving such articles as portions of the regular rations. Grain and hay are the best of all foods for cows in winter, but the animals appreciate a change from the dry foods to ensilage, or vegetables. Pumpkins, beets and carrots may be sliced and fed raw, while potatoes should be cooked and thickened with bran and corn meal by way of adding to the variety. Flattery sometimes acts like too many lumps of sugar in . cup of coffee. Young Kingdon Gould should be earnestly advised not to shoot as long as he can run. A Jersey hen that had lost her cackle has developed a crow. There is hope for Patti. It is found to be much harder to exterminate the German carp than it was so germinate it. A New York judge decided against a man suing for a dog bite. Every dog has his day in court. If any motion is needed, we move that the Chadwick matter be laid on the table for a few days. Much may be forgiven the inventor of that thinking machine if he doesn't develop it into a talking machine. There be two individuals who cannot be reasoned with—a girl in love and a man who is determined to run for an office. The average woman thinks it's just horrid if her husband is jealous of her, and just horrid if he isn't, so there you are. A man who thinks he understands women is just as likely as not to invest his money in a perpetual motion invention. No doubt poor old Franz Joseph of Austria sympathizes with the czar in the latter's resolve not to add a parliament to his troubles. John Barrett says shirts cost $13 apiece in Panama. Still, for most Panamans a shirt constitutes approximately a suit of clothes. The United States has thirteen bats tleships in commission—a very unlucky number for any nation that is rash enough to run up against them. Dr. Spitzka now announces that Lombroso has given to the world only a "hodgepodge of generalities." And 57,912 sensational Sunday stories, doctor. The explosion of that Galesburg woman's false teeth marks the advent of a new terror. To their well known falsity such teeth have begun to add treachery. It is just beginning to be understood by some people that it will be impossible to dig the Panama canal and have it full of water inside of two or three months. If Tow Lawson is patronizing a clipping bureau there is a prospect that he may be driven into bankruptcy when confronted by the necessity for paying the bill. George Meredith says America has not produced one great man of letters. Evidently he has not heard of the Ohio sign painter who recently was victorious in a pugilistic contest. Edmund Russell has a series of rules on "How to Get Rid of a Lover." We select the most cogent: "Never laugh when he laughs." That is enough for any girl to work on. First cabin rates to Europe are to be made $10 higher. That, however, will not be serious. The important thing is to have money enough to get back after one has reached Europe. A Cincinnati man is mourning the loss of a sample case of Bibles which was stolen from a saloon. So far no reports have been received of anybody stealing a case of whisky from a church. Representative Henry proposes a bill to prevent rural free delivery carriers from "carrying packages more than six feet in length." The package should not be more than six fingers deep, either. The world isn't informed exactly what progress Mr. Andrew Carnegie is making in his noble effort to save the disgrace of dying rich, but his gift of $1,000,000 to St. Louis for a library will help some. Cincinnati has a citizen 110 years old who walks three blocks every day to a saloon. He must be fond of exercise. There is no place in the city where he would have to go so far if he didn't want to. However, the London Lancet's learned opinion to the effect that turkey is a superior food was unnecessary. In his own unscientific fashion the average American had groped his way to the same great truth. The clergyman who recently bought more than $4,000,000 worth of New York real estate appears to have a shrewd suspicion that it is not so difficult for a camel to go through the eye of a needle as it is cracked up to be. New York has an employer in court charged with working children 68 hours in a six-day week, paying them $3 for the week, and docking them 10 cents for talking and 2 cents for being five minutes late. Is there any shame left in New York? Perhaps the New Jersey man who swapped horses "unsight and unseen" and led his living bag of bones to the other man's stable, to find a rocking-horse in his own stable on his return, got the best of the bargain, after all. He won't have to feed the rocking-horse. A story is going the rounds that a Nashville hotel clerk recently inherited $10,000 from a stranger guest to whom he had been polite and attentive. What clever things the T. P. A. does put in circulation! The Thought of God Oh, how the thought of God attracts And draws the heart from earth, And sickens it of passing shows And dissipating mirth! Tis not enough to save our souls. To shun the eternal fires; The thought of God will rouse the heart To more sublime desires. God only is the creature's home. Though rough and straight the road; Yet nothing less can satisfy The laws that lodge for God. Oh, utter but the name of God Down in your heart of hearts. And see how from the world at once All tempting light departs. A trusting heart, a yearning eye, Can with their way above? If mountains can be moved by faith, Is there less power in love? —Frederick W. Faber. THE NIGHT RUN OF THE OVERLAND By ELMORE ELLIOTT PEAKE. IN THREE PARTS. PART 2. Copyright by McClure, Phillips & Co. "Be brave, girl!" he said encouragingly, though his own voice shook, "You have got to make seventy-five miles an hour, or better; but you've got the machine to do it with. Give her her head on all the grades except Four Mile Creek—don't be afraid—and give her a little sand on Beechtree Hill. Goodby—and God keep you!" As Sylvia stood beneath the great black hulk of iron and steel which drew the "Overland" and glanced down the long line of mail, express and sleeping cars, her heart almost failed her again. The mighty boiler towered high above her in the darkness and the steam rushed angrily from the done, as though the great animal were freeting under the unaccountable delay. "You are a brave little woman," she heard the superintendent saying at the cab-step. "Don't lose your nerve—but make time whatever else you do. Every minute you make up is money in the company's pocket, and they won't forget it. Besides," he added, familiarly, "we've got a big gun aboard, and I want to show him that a little thing like this don't flustrate us any. If you draw into Stockton on time, 'll add $50 to that check!" And he lifted her up to the cab. The fireman, a young Irishman, stared at Sylvia as she stepped into the cab, but she made no explanations, and, a glance at the steam and the water gauges, climbed up to the engineer's high seat. The hand she laid on the throttle lever trembled slightly—as well it might; the huge iron horse quuffer and stiffened, as if bracing itself for its task; noiselessly and imperceptibly it moved ahead, expelled one mighty breath, then another and another, quicker and quicker, shorter and shorter, until its respirations were lost in one continuous flow of steam. The Overland was once more under way. The locomotive responded to Sylvia's touch with an alacrity which thrilled her through and through. She glanced at the time table. They were twelve minutes behind time. The twenty miles between the Junction and Grafton lay in a straight, level line. Sylvia determined to use it to good purpose, and to harden herself at once to the dizzy speed required by the inexorable schedule. She threw the throttle wide open, and pushed the reverse lever into the last notch. The great machine seemed suddenly animated with a demoniac energy, and soon they were shooting through the black, storm beaten night like an avenging bolt from the hand of a colossal god. The headlight—so dazzling from in front, so insufficient from behind—danced feebly ahead upon the driving cloud of snow. But that was all. The track was illuminated for scarcely fifty feet, and the night yawned beyond like some engulfing abyss. Sylvia worked with the fireman with a fine intelligence which only the infiltrated could understand; for an engine is a steed whose speed depends upon its driver. She opened or closed the injector, to economize heat and water and eased the steam when it could be spared. Thus together they coaxed, cajoled, threatened, and goaded the wheeled monster until, like a veritable thing of life, it seemed to strain every nerve to do their bidding, and whirled them faster and faster. Yet, as they flashed through Grafton they were still ten minutes behind time. Sylvia shut her lips tightly. A it was necessary to defy death on the curves and grades ahead, defy death she would. The sticky snow on her glass now cut off Sylvia's vision ahead. Another train ahead, an open switch, a fallen rock or tree—one awful crash, and the engine would become a gridiron for her tender flesh, while the palatial cars behind, now so full of warmth and light and comfort, would suddenly be turned into more shapeless heaps of death. Yet Sylvia cautiously opened her door a little, and held it firmly against the hurricane while she brushed off the snow. At the same time she noticed that the headlight was burning dim. "The headlight is covered with snow!" she called to the fireman. The young fellow instantly drew his cap tighter, braced himself and swung open his door. At the first cruel blast, the speed of which was that of the gale added to that of the train, he closed his eyes and held his breath; then, taking his Life in his hands, he Seemed suddenly animated with a demoniac energy. slipped out upon the wet, treacherous running board of the pitching locomotive, made his way forward, and cleared the glass. Sylvia waited with bated breath until his head appeared in the door again. "Fire up, please!" she exclaimed, nervously, for the steam had fallen off a pound. As the twinkling street lamps of Nancyville came into view, Sylvia blew a long blast. But the wind, like some ferocious beast of prey, pounced upon the sound and throttled it in the teeth of the whistle. One-third of one hundred and forty-nine miles, was now gone and still the Overland was ten minutes behind and it seemed as if no human power could make up the time. They were winding through the Tallahula Hills, where the road was as crooked as a serpent's trail. The engine jerked viciously from side to side, and twice Sylvia was nearly thrown from her seat. The wheels savagely ground the rails at every curve, and made them shriek in agony. One side of the engine first mounted upward, like a ship upon a wave, then suddenly sank, as if engulfed. Yet she dared not siacken speed. The cry of "Time! Time! Time!" was dinned into her ears with every stroke of the plisom. Her train was but one cog on one wheel in the vast and complicated machine of transportation. One slip of that cog would rudely jar the whole delicate mechanism from coast to coast. The train dashed into Carbondale, and Sylvia made out ahead the glowing headlight of the eastbound train, side-tracked and waiting for the belated "overland." Suppose that the switch were open! She knew that it must be closed, but the sickening possibility presented itself over and over again, with its train of horrors, in the brief space of a few seconds. She held her breath and half closed her eyes as they thundered down upon the other train; and when the engine hurched a little as it struck the switch her heart leaped into her mouth. The suspense was mercifully short, though, for in an instant, they were past the danger, and once more scouring the open country. In spite of the half pipe of sand which she let run as they climbed Beechtree Hill—the last of the Tallahasas—it seemed to Sylvia as if the locomotive had lost all its vim. Yet the speed was slow, only by contrast, and in reality was terrific. At last, though, the big level of the Barren Plains was gained, and for forty miles—which were reeled off in less than thirty minutes—the swept along like an albatross on the crest of a gale, smoothly and almost noiselessly in the deadening snow. Sylvia suspected that the engine was doing no better right here than it did every night of the year. Yet, when she glanced from the time table to the clock, as they clicked over the switch points of Melrose she was chagrined to discover that they were still eight minutes behind. They were now approaching the long twelve mile descent of Four Mile Creek, with a beautiful level stretch at the bottom through the Spirit River Valley. Sylvia came to a grim determination. Half a dozen times previously she had wondered, in her unfamiliarity with heavy trains, if she were falling short of or exceeding the safety limit; and half a dozen times she had been on the point of appealing to the fireman, but her pride, even in that momentous crisis, had restrained her. But just before they struck the grade the responsibility of her determination—contrary, too, to her husband's advice—seemed too much to bear alone. (To be continued.) THE TEST OF TIME. Useful Instead of Ornamental Are the Things, Which Survive It. Things Which Survive It. The tomb of Moses is unknown; but the traveler may yet slake his thirst at the well of Jacob. The gorgeous palace of the wisest and wealthiest of monarchs, with its cedar and its gold and its ivory, yea, even the great Temple of Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory of the Deity himself, are gone; but Solomon's reservoirs are as perfect as ever. Of the ancient architecture of the Holy City not one stone is left upon another; but the Pool of Bethsaida commands the pilgrim's reverence at the present day. The columns of Persepolis are moldering in dust, but its cisterns and aqueducts remain to challenge our admiration. The gilden house of Nero is a mass of ruins; but the Aqua Claudia still pours into Rome its limpid stream. The Temple of the Sun at Tadmore in the wilderness, has long since fallen into decay; but its fountain yet sparkles as brightly in the morning sunlight as when, in days of yore, thousands of worshippers thronged its lofty colonnades. Thus it is that time, through the instrumentality of successive generations of men, permits the merely ornamental to crumble away to worthless ruin while the truly useful is preserved in all its pristine greatness.

Death through strangulation of a sailor in an Italian prison who had been subjected for no apparent just reason to the torture of the straits waistcoat was the subject of a heated debate in the Italian chamber of deputies recently. Toward the end of the discussion a socialist deputy brought the house down" by advising all the ministers of the Italian government to spend a few years in prison, in order that some definite knowledge might be obtained regarding prison abuses. This, he said, was the only way in which such abuses could be satisfactorily terminated. Another socialist deputy created still further merriment by stating that he knew a great deal about the interior of Italian prisons, having had ample opportunity of making acquaintance with them during an enforced sojourn therein at the expense of the Italian government. Uncrowded Professions. At the convention of the American Medical Association in New Orleans Dr. Billings drew attention to the fact that the medical colleges are graduating annually from 10,000 to 12,500 physicians, when the actual need of this country call for only about 2,500 It seems a pity that some of these graduates have not entered other professions that are not so crowded and can offer better prospects of remuneration. Sanitary engineering, naval ar chitecture and the comparatively new professions of forestry, for instance are not overcrowded and there will soon be a great demand for really competent automobile engineers, mer who combine with mechanical ability a thorough knowledge of gas and other engines that are competing for the control of the field—Scientific American. The "Millionaire Malady." Men who have sacrificed youth and health, scrimped their families and injured their digestions in the acquirement of a "pile" often think they are public benefactors, and that humanity in general owes them a debt of gratitude for being so rich. In consequence they resent as a cruel injustice the fatigue, chagrin and newspaper notorily that money in variably brings in its trail. It would be about as consistent for a little boy who had gorged himself upon purlin apples to feel injured when an avenging stomachache followed gluttony — Eliot Gregory in The Century He—Give a woman a bunch of pictographs to examine, including one of her own, which one will she look at the longest, and why?' 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

A famous recipe for sweet potato pie will be welcomed by exiles from the south. Have a pound, or, in bulk, a pint, of boiled sweet potatoes. Mash or rub through a colander and add three quarters of a pound each of butter and sugar which has been well creamed. Beat six eggs lightly and add to the mixture. Flavor with nutmeg, the juice and grated rind of a lemon, and a small glass of good brandy. Line a deep pie plate with pastry, and pour in the sweet potato mixture. It is customary to sprinkle the pie with fine sugar and tiny dots of citron when it is taken from the oven.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put in 3/4-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Cold Storage for Sweet Potatoes. The ideal method of keeping seed potatoes is claimed to be cold storage. Potatoes thus kept at the Ohio station have come out sound and fresh with no indication of sprouting and the vitality unimpaired, even so late as the list of June. It is important, however, that the cold storage room should not fall below 25 degrees, nor should it rise much above 40 degrees. When cold storage is not available, sprouting may be in some measure prevented by shoveling the potatoes frequently. Prince Fushimi is not related by blood to the present emperor of Japan. He is, however, the head of one of the four parallel houses of princes and of that one standing next to the reigning house, so that if the dynasty to which the mikado belongs became extinct Prince Fushimi would succeed to the throne.

The fact is that many farmers object to the making butter on account of the extra work connector therewith, but it is the sailing of labor that causes many farmers to sacrifice the profits from farming. Anything that is produced on the fact and which is made more valuable labor should be sold in that for which brings to the farmer the more money for the outlay. A dollar worth of labor properly bestowed may add two or three dollars to the profit. It takes more than the Sunday to make the solid saint. Hundreds of people afflicted with rheumatism have spent years under the care of excellent physicians in vain. They have settled down to the coursing that it is fastened on them for life. Mr Dinsmore was not willing to join the ranks of the hopeless merely because the doctor did not know how to help her. Here is her story: "Four years ago I suffered great with rheumatism in my hands and knees. After I had been sitting with my limbs seemed so heavy I could walk on the first attempt. So long I kept moving I was all right, but just soon as I stopped, something seemed settle in my knees and make them ad my hands were so bad I couldn't touch the palms of them on a flat surface; they were swollen and made so." "Did you call in a physician?" "I doctored steadily for over a year then one doctor said: 'You have the medicine strong enough to kill anything.' Still, it did not kill me the rheumatism." "How, then, did you get rid of it?" "At different times I had read in vious publications about Dr. Willia wonderful Pink Pills for Pink Pee and I finally decided to try them. I them steadily for four months in a cordance with the directions. By the time I was completely cured." "Have you been free from it ever since?" "Since then I have had but one step return of my trouble, and a box or two the same pills made me all right again. Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in heart enjoyment of her recovered health a Woburn, Mass., entirely freed from the grave anxieties that rheumatism always brings. When it appears in but a single joint it shows that the blood is in a fault state in the whole body. It may moment break out elsewhere, and our heart the heart and then the result must fatal. The only security is to keep the blood all the time in a perfectly some condition. Dr. Williams's Pink Pills make health blood. All other relief is superior. This is thorough.

The coming winter will cause at least one-half of the women to have catarrh, colds, coughs, pneumonia or consumption. Thousands of women will lose their lives and tens of thousands will acquire some chronic alliment from which they will never recover. Use like the necessary precautions, the chances are that you (who read this) will be one of the unfortunate ones. Little or no risk need be run if Peruna is kept in the house and at the first appearance of any symptom of catarrh taken as directed on the bottle. Peruna is a safeguard, a preventative, a specific, a cure for all cases of catarrh, acute and chronic, coughs, colds, constipation. For free medical advice, address Dr. S. B. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. Don't Feed Recklessly. There are farmers who feed all animals alike, without regard to the fact that some will consume much more than others. It has long been estimated that half a bushel of grain a day will supply fifty sheep, in addition to long food, but there is a great difference in the breeds of sheep, and individuals also differ. The only way to feed is to closely observe the animals and supply their wants without waste. Happy Thought. Mrs. Jones—Can't we meet somewhere in the evening? I have so much to say to you.

ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN CANADA. "Potatoes the Finest I Ever Saw." Owing to the great amount of interest that is being taken in Western Canada, it is well to be informed of some of the facts that are bringing about the great emigration from portions of the United States. The Canadian government has authorized agents at different points, and the facts related in the following may be corroborated on application. At the same time they will be able to quote you rates, and give you certificates entitling you to low rates on the different lines of railway. The following letter copied from the North Bend (Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testimonial, and the experience of Mr. Auten is that of hundreds of other Americans who have made Canada their home during the past seven or eight years; "I presume some may be interested to know how we have progressed this year in the Canadian Northwest. We have no complaint to offer. We have had a good year, crops were good and we have had a delightful season. I threshed from my place, 8,650 bushels of grain. My oats made 65 bushels per acre and weighed 42½ pounds per bushel. My wheat made 31½ bushels per acre and is No. 1 quality. My barley made about 30 bushels of good quality. My crop is a fair average of the crops in the Edmonton district. "All crops were good here this season. Potatoes the finest I ever saw, and all vegetables adapted to the climate. We have had a very fine fall, but no exception to the rule, as the fall season is. I think, the most pleasant of the year. We have had no snow yet (Nov. 9), and have been plowing and working the land preparing for an early seeding next spring. Last night the mercury dropped lower than any previous night this fall, and this morning there is a crust of frost on the fields sufficient to prevent field work. No doubt many would imagine that Alberta had put on her winter overcant before this and that the people were wrapped in furs, but it is only a question of time when this country will not be looked upon as an iceberg, but a country fit for the best of marking to live in. "We are now assured of a transcontinental railway, which is to be built to the Pacific during the next five years. The Canadian Northern road is graded to within seventy-five miles of Edmonton. It comes from Winnpeg, and will reach us next summer, so with one railroad already at hand, the second to reach us in less than a year, and the third to penetrate our city and open up this country to the west across the Rockies to the coast within five years, we surely have reason to believe that the country is prograssing. "Very respectfully. L. J. AUTEN." A COLD ON THE LUNGS THREATENS TO BECOME SERIOUS. Pe-ru-na Brings Speedy Relief. Mrs. H. E. Adams, Ex-President Palmetto club, of New Orleans, La., writes from 110 Garfield Court, South Bend, Ind., as follows: "I am pleased to endorse Peruna, as I took it about a year ago and it soon brought me relief from a cold on my lungs which threatened to be serious. "The lungs were sore and inflamed. I coughed a couple of hours every night, and I felt that something must be done before my lungs became affected. I knew of my friends who suggested I take of upon their advice I tried it and found that it was able to bring about a speedy cure. You have my highest endorsement and thanks for the good it did me." Sounding the Praises of Peruna. Mrs. Frances Wilson, 32 Nelson St., Clinton, Mass., writes: "Had you seen me at the time of my illness and now, you would not wonder that I take delight in sounding the praises of Peruna. "My ailment was a severe cold which attacked the bronchial tubes and lungs. "I followed your special directions and after using six bottles of Peruna, I was on my feet again. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine." Dividends for Bank Creditors. The Comptroller of the Currency recently declared a second dividend of 15 per cent in favor of the creditors of the First National bank of Florida, of Jacksonville, Fla., making in all 40 per cent on claims proved, amounting to $236.558. The Comptroller declared also a third dividend of 20 per cent in favor of the creditors of the First National Bank of Macon, Ga., making in all 85 per cent on claims amounting to $621.113. Conviction of Land Robbers After the people of the United States have been robbed of millions of acres there has at last been a conviction of five land robbers in Oregon. In this case, involving 8,000 acres of timber land, the fraud was accomplished with more or less official connivance by the use of fictitious names for land entries. Two of the convicted land pirates were extensive timber operators and hitherto very respectable members of society. Danger of Quoting.

A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed him on the right kind of food, was always nervous and suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bowels. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and after the operation the doctor, knowing that his intestinal digestion was very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day. He rapidly recovered and about two months thereafter, his Father states, "He has grown to be strong, muscular, and his肺 soundly, weighs 62 pounds, and his whole system is in a fine condition of health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. It is plain that if he had been put on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his life, and kept from the use of foods that he could not digest, he never would have had appendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food decaying in the stomach and bowels, causing irritation and making for the growth of all kinds of microbes, setting up a diseased condition which is the active cause of appendicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not properly digest white bread. Grape-Nuts is made of the selected parts of wheat and barley and by the peculiar processes of the cooking at the factory, all of the stars is turned into sugar ready for immediate digestion and the more perfect nourishment of all parts of the body, particularly the brain and nerve centers.

KERENS Bittinger Led Off for Kerens Wednes day-Niedringhaus Lost Four Votes on First Ballot and Two More on Second. Candidates— 187, 20 Niedringhaus 87, 85 Cockrell 83, 83 Keren 6, 7 Pettijohn 0, 1 Necessary to a choice—89. JEFFERSON CITY, — Thomas K. Niedringhaus has sustained the forecasted check, and the prospects for his ultimate election to the United States senate are still more removed. He was two votes short on the first ballot and on the second ballot was four votes short of enough to elect, though on Monday he had two to spare. Niedringhaus lost the support of Bittinger, of St. Joseph; Branch, of Laayette; Cook, of Howell—who testified that he had been offered a bribe to vote for Niedringhaus—Elliott and Roach, of Jasper, and Grace, of St. Louis, on the first ballot. This crowd was swelled on the second ballot by the departure of Representative Hatzfeld, of Newton county, to the Kerens camp, and by the desertion of Representative Kirkham, of Camden, who voted for Dr. A. C. Pettijohn, of Linn county. MAY RUN BOATS TO MUSKOGEE. Arkansas River Navigators May Operate to the Indian Territory Town. MUSKOGEE, I. T.—Representatives of the Commercial club have just returned from Fort Smith and Webber's Falls, where they have been in conference with the owners of the line of steamboats plying on the Arkansas river between those points. The result is that the owners of the boats will submit to this place a proposition to extend their line of boats up the river to this point. The shipping would be at Frozen Rock, to which place the street car .ones will be extended for the purpose of handling both freight and passenger traffic. The principal interest that Muskogee has in this is securing boats enough to force the railroads to meet a water rate on freight. This can be done if the boats run regularly. TO MEASURE DEATH VALLEY. A Government Expedition Looking for America's Lowest Level. SACRAMENTO, CAL.—R. A. Farmer of the United States geological survey has left upon a mission that may establish, in accordance with scientific requirements, the exact height of Mount Whitney, and also the lowest point in the United States. According to mercurial tests, which are deemed unsatisfactory and liable to err, Mount Whitney is anywhere from 15,503 to 15,530 feet high. The same investigating party will find the greatest natural depression in the earth's crust in America. The surface of Death valley, popularly supposed to be the lowest in the United States, has been estimated at from 100 to 500 feet below the level of the sea. JAPS TAKE SIXTY SHIPS.

Whisky Confiscated. ARDMORE I. T.—The Wells-Fargo Express Company's office in this city was raided by federal authorities and a large amount of whisky confiscated and spilled in the street. Senator Burton Wins in Case Before Supreme Court. WASHINGTON.—In the case of Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas the supreme court of the United States dismissed the writ of certiorari to the circuit court of appeals for the Eighth circuit and reversed the verdict of the district court for the Eastern district of Missouri upon the ground that the payments to Burton were made in Washington. The district court was therefore reversed and the case remanded for a new trial. This is the decision in the appeal of Senator Burton from the judgment of the United States district court for the Western district of Missouri, in which he was sentenced to pay a fine of $2,500 and to serve six months in jail for violating a federal statute forbidding members of Congress from rendering service for compensation before a government department in a proceeding in which the United States is interested. The proceeding in which Burton appeared, involved the issuance of a fraud order against the Rialto Gran and Securities company of St. Louis, which concern Burton represented as attorney. Soon after Judge Adams imposed sentence, Burton's attorneys brought the case to the United States supreme court in a petition for writ of error to the lower court and a petition for writ of certiorari. The case was advanced on the docket and arguments of appeal were submitted about December 1. MAY OPEN RAILWAY BOOKS. One of the Ways of Stopping Rebates Told in Senate Committee. WASHINGTON.—The Senate committee on interstate commerce gave a hearing upon the Cooper-Quarles bill conferring greater power upon the interstate commerce commission. E. P. Bacon, representing the interstate commerce law convention, who has been heard at some length by the committee, was examined. Replying to Senator Elkins he said that the question of rebates was fully covered by the Elkins act, and that it remains for the interstate commerce commission to enforce the provisions of that act. It is essential, he said, that the books of the railroad companies be opened not only to inspection, but that inspectors be appointed to examine the books of railway corporations in order to discover when rebates are paid that suits might be brought by the attorney general. He would not at this time suggest an amendment to the Cooper-Quarles bill covering that point, but he thought that machinery could be provided in the future to meet this condition. Chairman Elkins said it was important that somebody see the books, as one of the things desired is to do away with rebates. What the country wants, said Senator Elkins, is that discrimination and rebates be stopped. BADGES FOR ARMY MERIT MEN. A New Order Issued by Authority of the President. WASHINGTON.-General orders issued by the war department announce that by authority of the president, a badge with ribbon will be issued to each officer and enlisted man in the service to whom a certificate of merit has been or hereafter may be issued and that campaign badges with ribbons will be issued as articles of the uniform to officers and enlisted men in the service entitled thereto. SHOT AT OFFICER. A Student Tried to Kill General Tree noff in Moscow. MOSCOW.-While General Trepoff was bidding farewell to Grand Duke Sergius on his departure for St. Petersburg at the Nicolas station a young man wearing a student's cap fired three shots from a revolver at the general. All the shots missed General Trepoff. Grand Duke Sergius proceeded on his journey. The Appropriation Bill in the Senate, WASHINGTON.-The senate passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and also a number of private pension bills. The questions of granting pensions for service in the Indian police and of allowing gratuities for injuries received by workmen while in the employ of the government were debated at length. In the February Century. Who organized the Boston Symphony Orchestra? What is its policy and what the object of its being? How are its leader, concert-master and players secured, and how are they paid? What does the Boston Symphony Orchestra mean to America? These are some of the questions and answers to which interest every music-lover in the country. And these points, and many others, will be covered in the February Century in an article on "The Boston Symphony Orchestra" by Richard Aldrich, musical critic of the New York Times. Among the illustrations of the sketch will be a portrait of Mr. Henry Lee Higginson from the painting by John S. Sargent.

Sometimes the story of how a popular air came to be written is almost as interesting as the song itself, says the New York Sun. Take the case of "It Was Not Like That in the Olden Days." As originally written, it was not in the score of "The Yankee Consul" at all. But at the first rehearsals in Boston Mr. Savage complained that he did not believe that there was one air in the piece that would make an individual hit. Alfred Robyn, the composer, left the theater sick at heart that day and telephoned down to some friends at Nantucket that he was coming down to spend the night. The three-year-old son of his hostess happened to say that Mr. Robyn, who has a great reputation among his friends as an improvisor, was coming. "He's the man who can make the piano talk for you!" she remarked to the child, whereupon the youngster promptly refused to go to bed. Try as his mother might, the kid stubbornly refused. As soon as Mr. Robyn arrived the child said: "Can you make our piano say 'papa' and 'mamma?'" The composer sat down and having heard of the situation from the mother promptly improvised a few lines of an air which she sang to the words: "Don't you think that it's time For you to go to bed, You curly-headed little boy."

Y., says: "I wish to give thanks for the marvelous cure of my mother by Cuticura. She had a severe ulcer, which physicians had pronounced incurable. It was a terrible disfigurement, and people would stand in amazement and look after her. After there was no hope from doctors she began using Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and now, thank God, she is completely cured, and her face is as smooth and clear as ever" The man who puts heart into his work will always get ahead in it. $10.00 FOR ALL That's all it will cost to treat our 180-egg incubators complex, load down at our railroad station, all freight charges paid.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many beautiful young girls develop into worn, listless and hopeless women, simply because sufficient attention has not been paid to their physical development. No woman is exempt from physical weakness and periodic pain, and young girls just budding into womanhood should be carefully guided physically as well as morally. If you know of any young lady who is sick, and needs motherly advice, ask her to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., who will give her advice free, from a source of knowledge which is unequalled in the country. Do not hesitate about stating details which one may not like to talk about, and which are essential for a full understanding of the case. "I thought I would write and tell you that, by following your kind advice, I feel like a new person. I was always thin and delicate, and so weak that I could hardly do anything. Menstruation was irregular. "I tried a bottle of your Vegetable Compound and began to feel better right away. I continued its use, and am now well and strong, and menstruate regularly. I cannot say enough for what your medicine did for me." "DEAR MRS. write and tell you of the benefit I the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's W in my back and womb have all le corrected.
