GUMS (NEWEsT) FAMILY PHYsI
cIAN.-We have for several years beer
acquainted with the above named medi'
cal work. We have also had several 9TH
er highly approved works designed for
family use, and have tested them all more
or less by practical experiments. We
have found that Gum is decidedly the
best and most practical Of any F'dOctor's
books'' weare acquainted with, and take
great pleasure in recommending 1t as q
very useful work. It is g sensible work,
by a sensible man, replete with excellent
and practical advice, and with directions
Whist to do In all cases of illness or injury,
so that by It's aid any person can do about
all there can be done without the pres
ence of physician, and will often sue
ceed when q physician would not. The
present edition, which makes the work as
near perfect as any work on the subject
can be, contains 8 veterinary department
which Is as well gotten up as the rest of
the book. The indeXing is thorough.
This is book that ought to be in every
family. 1t would prevent much sickness,
expense and many deaths. We have
known case after case to be cured speed
lily by reliance on Gums Family Physi-
clan. 1t is a book we should recommend
to agents as a work they could sell and
which would give good satisfaetiin to all
who invested in 1t. The publishers are

In the Representative COnven-
ton of the SD district, A. W. Plumb
was elected president, w, J. Combs
secretary. L. A. Wood moved to elect
delegates to the Wichita convention.
&. Drake offered as a substitute that
the convention proceed to ballot for
Representative, which was carried. w.
Is. Scott nominated A. NJ. Hunter, John
Wayman nominated j. w. 10y. w. S.
Cook was also nominated. The candI-
dates were called upon to state their
views as to the financial question and the
candidacy of Governor Anthony. MIR.
10y said he thought his position we'll IN
derstoOd. He protested to be Republi-
can, living by Republican principles. He
had a warm personal friendship for Gov.
Anthony, hut in no measure was under
obligations to support him. He thought
he had made good record as Governor,
but he believed st. John or Martin to be
stronger as candidates, and equally able
men. In regard to the U. s. Senatorship,
as Representative man he would try to
reflect the sentiments of his constituency.
Personally his choice was Senator
Ingalls,, not Anthony. He would not
make positive pledge, however, for or
against any man, but would act for the
people as their representa- tiVe. Mr.. Hun
ter expressed himself briefly, LIST, as
against Anthony for any position, I'd, as
in favor of greenbacks as legal tender.
Mr.. Cook treated the financial question at
length. Was not in favor of inf alton If
it involved depreciation. He had OPP
posed Anthony two years ago on account
of his record, and would 90 SO again. On
motion, the first ballot for Representative
WAS considered a formal one. W. B.
Scott and +. S. Domm were appointed as
tellers. The vote was as follows: 10y,
%; Cook, 8; Hunter, 8. MIR. Loy's nomt-
nation was made unanimous. The fol-
lowing were placed In nomination as del
egates to the Wichita convention: L. A

Hiram Conner, Sheriff OF Lyon county,
breathed his last at his residence on Mer-
chants street, In this city, Thursday
morning, August 14th, at 7:45 a m.
Death has made sad work this summer in
the ranks of our well known and prOmi-
nent citizens. None will be missed or more
universally mourned than the one
| whose name heads this article. He had
been dangerously ill for about month,
and although his recovery was hoped for
at times, his death was not unexpected.
He was first taken i'll on the 9th OF July.
In a week or ten days afterwards he so
far recovered as to attend to some busi-
ness for few days. He was taken down
again, dangerously, and after struggle
of nearly four weeks, amid great and al
most constant suffering, he died as above
stated. Up to Wednesday morning he
recognized friends a portion of the time,
and occasionally talked IucIdly. Hope
OF his recovery was not given up till
Tuesday night.
MIR. Conner was born in Green county,
Pa, Nov. 18th, 1888. Afterwards emf
grated to Clayton county, Iowa, from
where he came to Kansas in the spring of
1857, and settled upon claim south Of
EmpOrIa q short distance. On February
2Ist, 1888, he married Eliza j. Logan,
daughter IF our esteemed fellow citizen,
Robert Logan, who lives just south Of the
city. He returned to Iowa with his fam
iIy in the fall of 1860. Came back to
Kansas in year or two and settled on
his farm. In 1865 he moved to Empor1a
and opened a black smith shop, working
hard, and begetting the esteem OF all who
know him. In 1872 e form ed partner
| ship with Thos. Ryan in the blacksmith
ing and carriage making busiaess. This
| was recognized as a strong firm, and their
| business grew rapidly. In the fall Of
| 1875 MIR. conner was nominated on the
Republican ticket for Sheriff of Lyon
county, and was elected by q large ma
Iortty. In 1877 he was reelected tor an
other term by heavy majority. He was
one of the most popular officers this
county ever had, and was very efficient
and faithful in the discharge OF his du-
ties. He was prominent member OF
Emporia lodge OF Odd Fellows, holding
at different times all the offices Of the
lodge, having been its treasurer for long
| term of years.
Hiram Conner dies mourned by the
whole county. He was q true citizen,
faithful in all the walks of life, and be-
loved and esteemed by everybody who
knew him. Our town has lost a useful
and good citizen, his family a kind heart
ed, indulgent husband and father, and
his friends one who was true to them and
whose friendship they delighted in. he
leaves wife and six children whose
hearts are torn with grief, and who have
the svmnathV of the entire nuhIic.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

This subject is now absor bling the at
tention of the civilized world. For ages
thinking people have been divided upon
the point as to a literal Hell, some con-
tending there is big one, to which rail-
road men and editors are rapidly travel
ing, others affirming there is only little
one, sort of pocket edition, which is car
ried with us daily in our hearts; while
others claim there is none at all, and only
as our actions in this world are guided
by pure motives and wise counsels, will
we find peace and happiness hereafter.
Therefore, in the future, as in the past,
people will continue to be divided upon
these points But there is one point up
on which all agree, and the testimony
comes from the east, west, north and
south, and that is that the old reliable
Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad is still the
peoples faVorite. Remember this Is the
only line that can offer through day
coaches and Pullman sleepers, leaving
Kansas City daily for Chicago via the
Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy railroad,
and through day and Pullman sleeping
cars leaving Kansas City, Atchison and
st. 10. Daily for Toledo Ohio, via the Wa
bash railway, without change.
Important The train leaving Kansas
City at $3.50 p. m, Atchison at 4:45 d. m,
and st. Joseph at sos p. m, takes q
through day coach to Indianapolis, daily,
Except Saturday via the Wabash and l.
b. & W. railways without change.
