An Astonishing Fact.

X large proportion of the Amercnn people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disor,lered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually q burden instead of d pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prcjuthoe and skepticl,m, take the advice of drug giSts and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with saaslac- tory results in every ease. You can buy a sample bottle torl0 cents to try. three doses will relieve the worst ease. Positively sold by all Druggists oil che Western Continent. For sale by I. M. Harkey & Bro.

The terrible and momentous question,

turbed and distracted the evangelical
churches for some time, has at
last invaded the usually serene pre-.
cincts OF the Episcopal church-or ra,h-

thereof. The Philadelphia Times, Of The
18th, has the following:
Hell has new prop. In the Synod cf the

THE WAR IN AFGHANisraN.

spectacle power, like Russia, ior instance,
there would be nothing in the present trouble
that Disraeli could not settle upon AMIGA
bic terms, in very few day; but Afghan
istan is not a great power; it is a small
and weak power, and therefore the chances
are good for war, and after the war At
ghanistan will be no longer "a little bar
barous kingdom, "but British dependency.
The New York Tribune says on this sub
ject:
Despite the Intention of the English gov
erning classes 10 keep an eye upon Rus ia,
while bringing the Ameer 10 terms, they
have allowed Afghanistan TO absorb their
whole attention. The cause of war is pru-

Government Is bound TO respect The cry
for delay has given place TO one for imme-

THE COUNTY TICREE-

The tcket pat in nomination by the Re-
publican county convention yesterday il
in the main good one, and with one ex-
cep;ion ought TO be elected.

Hug -rosont efficient aad popular H.

snd vii! be elected hy large msiority.
He is competent ami faithful, is popular
sith the oar AID -ith the people,-has
discharged the duties Of his Office in an
unexcepiional manner, and deserves an
other term.
Wm. Dill, the nominee for County At
torney, is a good man and a good lawyer.
lie is honest, able and industrious-three
qualifications absolutely necessary in a
good prosecuting attorney. His character
il above reprosch, he has hosts of friends
10 all parts Of the county, and there is but
little reason 10 doubt tha, he will be elect
ed.
Tie nomination of the pressnt Probate
Judge, FOR reelection, was mistake. His
administration has not been above susuic-
ion, and his name will weaken the ticket.
His competitor, Oliver Diefendorf, is an
excellent man, and deserves to be elected.
For Superintendent Of Public Instruction
the convention made wise choice in the
selection Of the present incumbent Mr..
Van Emau has made faithful and compe-
tent officer he has discharged the duties Of
his posiii IN in manner entirely satisfac-
tory to the people, and it was not more than
fair to give him nomination for a second
term-a nomination which, We are conf
dent, the people will ratify at the polls.
Bg a proper effort on the part OF the Re-
publicans Of the county, We believe the
nominees for Clerk, Attorney and Superin-
tendent can be elected

nounces that he is in favor Of settling the

attacks General Hun.oD, the Democratic

opposed to practical and permanent relief

he was one of those who got up at the
close OF the last session OF Congress bill
known as the Potter Investigating bill, for
the purpose OF giving certain politicians an
airing they would not otherwise have had"
Mr.. Carter closes by saying that General
Hunton and himself were members of the

IAmerican Agricultursst.I

Those who cultivate house plants are apt
to put. off preparations till cool nights,.if not
actual frosts warn them to bring the plant.
under cover. 1t is great mistake thus to
delay this work, and those who haye heed
ed our monthly Notes" do not need our
present reminder to attend to it without de-
lay. Plants that have been turned out Of
their pots and have been in the open ground
all summer. often become overgrown, and
too large TO take up and pot fer the window
garden; hence We have at various times
during the season, advised starting new
plants from cuttings, as vigorous young
specimens are usually more satisfactory
than older ones. Still, there will be
some that it may be worth while to
take up, and these should always be a.
tended to at once. When a plant is changed
from pot to the border, the heretofore
crsmped roots soon take new start, spread
ing as ii they enjoyed Their new liberty, and
room occupy several times their former
space. while the upper portion of the plant
soon grows proportionately large. When
such plant is taken up in the tall it will
have mass Of roots, not only far too large
Tor its former pot, but too large for any pot
that one would care to give it. The roots
must be cut away to a convenient size, and
the top must be reduced also. Here is the
point where novices fail they dislike to part
with any OF the luxuriant new growth, but
set the plant with all of its top and only
part OF Its roots in pot, and expect it to
flourish. 1t may be taken as a general
rule in all transplanting, whether with
house plants or with trees-the top must be
reduced in proportion as the root surface is
diminished. Plants taken up from the
open ground must be placed in the shade
until they recover, and they must also be
sheltered from the drying influence Of the
wind.

GOOD sEiECTTONS.

The Republicans OF the Second and Third
Wards, at their primary meetings last Fri
day evening, made good selections for men,
bers of the Legislature.
In the Second Ward Judge II. N. Aller
was selected by acclamation. He is man
Of ability, of good reputation, is public
spirited and enterprising, and is full of in
dustry. He will work hard for the inter-
es;s of his constituents, and will be able to
accomplish as much for the city as any
man thatcould have been selected.
Hon. Jas. F. Legate, in the Third Ward,
was also selected by acclamation. lie is
well known to the people of the State, and
is one of The most experienced Legislators
in Kansas. His ability was recognized by
the people, of all parties, and his intimate
knowledge of the machinery of legisl alton
makes him a valuable member. He has
several times represented the people of his
district at Topeka, and is always recognized
as one of the leaders OF the body of which
he was a member. He is "at home"
in tire Legislature, and knows how things
are done. lie will be one OF the abiest
members OF the next House.

IMMIGRATION,

When our school teachers and geogra-

story upon. So says 4 Heading and educa-

who also states that the country has reach
ed the limit of agricultural development; !;
that the population and prosperity have
bsen decreasing since l7GI; that unless i'm
proved machinery and methods are adopted
from the Western country, the people will
not be able to support themselves, since
they are already as poor as possible and
live; that the wealth Of the Empire is in
the hands Of the few, and that with dimin-
ishiug population and increasing wages at

grafton to this country, 20 Americans need
