The CHICAGO REpUBL1cAN-Of all the
papers published in the northwest, the
Chicago Republican is far the best. It's
editorials compare favorably with those
of the New York leading papers. II
gathers mp each day just such news from
the whole country as the people of the
northwest desire to see. In this respect
for Western readers it is preferable to any
of the New York papers. 1t is Radical
and out-spoken upon all subjects, and
tokes the lead in ell measures of reform
demanded by our section of the country.
Nearly all business men need to take a
daily paper from st. Louis, Chicago or
New York. II they will try the Repub-
lican short time, we are sure that they
will continue it. Kansas farmers. also as
general thing. need and take an Eastern
weekly. The Republican more nearly
contains just the matter they desire than
any other paper. We hope to see its
circulation increase tn this State, because
we believe it is the best paper for Western
readers that is published. Its terms for
daily per year is $1,000; for tri-weekly
$500, or in clubs of ten. $500 per copy.
For weekly. single copy 80 90 per year.

ANN S. STEPHENS new B0OKi

THE SOLDIERS ORPHANS. By Mrs
Ann S. Stephens, author of " Fashion and
Famine" +" The Gold Brick" " The Old
Homestead" Silent Struggles" Mary
Derwent,' Rejected Wife" " The Heir
ess,"" The Wife's Secret" etc.
This new book, BY Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,
has been pronounced by all to be by far the
best and most in terestiDg work ever written
by her. 1t appeared in monthly iustalments
in "Peterson's Magazine" during the last
year, having been completed in the December
number, where it proved to be the most popu
lar, powerful. and most successful novel that
has ever appeared in that Magazine, and i t is
now published complete and unabridged, in
one large duodecmo volume, uniform with the
Gold Brick" "Fashion and Famine" and
the other works Of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, pub
lished by US. 1t will no doubt prove to be the
most popular and successful work that has ev-
er been written by this talented American au-
thoreSs.
Mrs. Stephens has Justly become favorite
with all American readers of prose fiction, and
the announcement of a new work from her
graceful pen is cheerful news to thousands of
readers. And there is -Gre treat in store for
them, for in " The Soldiers Orphans" Mrs.
Stephens has, if anything, eciHsed all her
former efforts. There is less redundancy OF
scene and action, but there ia far more artistic
excellence, and an elaboration of causes and
effects, attainabe only by practical writer's.
The action of this new novel traDspires in
Phi'adelphia, and beycud the limits of the city
the authoresS does not permit herself to stray.
The time selected by Mrs. Stephens is recent,
the late war, and she pictures with vivid dis
tinc.ness the domestic suffering and sacrifices
entailed by, and made for. the grand and he
roic struggle for national unity. The plot is
one Of absorbing interest. the characters are
g:aphic transcripts from real life, strongly III
divi!uaiized, and the contrasts formed by their
individual peculiarities, mental and physical,
lend a rare charm 10 this last and most finish
ed of Mrs. Stephens books"
{" The Soldiers Orphans" is published COM
plete in one large duoaecimo volume. Price,
$l.50 in paper; or 50 90 in cloth.

FLATULENCY.-The most common cause
Of this difficulty is indigestion. When
the natural fluids of the stomach are Sc.
creted in an unhealthy state. fermentation
rapidly takes place. and the stomach and
associated viscera become distended with
gas. giving rise to frequent eructstion OF
belching. The quantity Of gas thus &C.
cumulstej is often enormous. The trea,
ment for this disorder should be careful
diet. healthy. weli.cooked animal food
and use Roback's Bitters and Blood Pills
the same as for dyspepsia.
