DEAR NEWS: Although there are
thousands of fine rich lands in the State
of Kansas, and although the State ia
growing and the land yet still new
and productive, it must be admitted
that a. large perspective increase in all
crops might be made by the applica-
ton of scores of lands of well rotted
manure that now lie around a nuieance
to almost every farm. Land, however
rich, will ultimately be reduced by
continual cropping when nothing is
returned to the soil to compensate for
the crops taken of. To let well enough
done will not always do. Health to
man and animals, good economy,
wealth and neatness, all dictate to the
true farmer to feed the soil as well IS
the horse and the OK.
We see that the enterprise of Kansas
City has on foot a project to afford
cheap water transportation from that
city to New Orleans and if carried out,
with our cheap lands and cheap pres
pective transportation in every direc-
ton, we feel confident that the night
is far spent, and the day is at hand
when the latoI of honest toll will be
rewarded in Southwestern Kansas as
never before, and every farmer and
honest laborer can thank God and take
courage.
Nearly every spring, too, we have q
set of old would-be weather prophets
that always have something evil to
predict in regard to the coming season
all such old would-be wise men
ought to be set down in some of the
old sterile places of the old eastern
States. They would soon come back
If they could and quit the business of
prophesying forever. A.V.

ASTONISHING SUCCEss.-It is the duty
Of every person who has used Boschee's
German Syrup to let its wonderful quail
ties be known to their friends in curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group, Asth-
ma. pneumonia, and In fact all tn roat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider it
the duty Of all druggists to recommend Ii
to the poor dying consumtive, at least to
try one bottle, as 40,0OO dozen bottles
were sold last year, and no one case
where It failed was reported. such 9
medicine as the German Syrup cannot be
too widely known. Ask Sour druggist
about it. Sample bottles TO try sold &C 10
cents, Regular size Is cents. Sold by

The WONDERFUL SUCCESSIVE ich has
attended the use Of Browns Liver Pills
has demonstrated the fact, that medicines
prepared for eastern diseases are not
adapted to the diseases of this western
climate. The people of the west would
do well to bear in mind that headache,
bIliousness, pain in the side, indigestion.
constipation, etc., result from an Inactive
condition of the liver, produced by the
mIasmatic influences common to ali new
countries. A speedy relief is obtained
by the use of Browns Liver Pills.
The great remedy for Inflammation is
Arnica, Browns Arnica Salve is conceded
to be, the most reliable preparation before
the public, for curing cuts, bruises, burns,
frost bites, and old sores and ulcers.

1t Is to be Occupied by the CO-Opera-
tive Store.
The new business house of DR.. j. A.
Moore is receiving the flushing touches,
and is one of the best built in the city. 1t
is ninety feet deep by twenty-five feet
wide, with good cellar under the whole,
and is two stories high above ground. The
lower room makes one of the best for any
kind of business in the city. In the up
per story good wide hall runs along the
side the entire length. In the front is
suite OF magnificent rooms connected by
folding doors. There are three other
rooms which are large and Will be we'll
finished. They are lighted and Ventila-
ted by sky-lights. They will be desirable
for either offices or residences. The brick
work was done under a contract with Pol.
lard. The "Old reliabfe'' John Hammond
had charge of the carpenter work, and
that tirst-class workman, Frank Mccain,
is doing the plastering. We judge it to
be one of the best jobs in the city through
out, and reflects credit alike on the bus
mess enterprise of DIR. Moore, and the
gentlemen who did the work.

pied by the Patrons Cooperative grocery
