Symptoms Of a DiseasedLiver

DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge OF the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patent is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss Of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
saiion Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of prickly scnsa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged

= An old gentleman without tact, on
meeting some ladies whom he had known
as girls in his boyhood, remarked: "Bless
me How time fiesl 1t is ffty-two years
come next April since we used to 60 to
school together in the old red school
house. l was little chap then, you re-
member, and you were fine young wo-
men," The old man could never under
stand why his cordial greeting was re-
ceived so coldly.
During recent trial in New Lon
don, rural juror appealed to the court to
know "if the lawyers could not be stop
ped from bothering the jury" He had
become bewildered in the maze of tech
nicalities and subtleties with which the
lawyers had apparently mysti6ed the
case, and he cried in anguish of spirit:
'"Them lawyers come here on purpose to
bother and confuse US jurors, don't they,
Judgei" I Isuppose they do, my friend"
YEARLY answered his Honor.

of the better times which are just dawn

ness of the township and county organ
izations, which when once dcmoralized

hackers, then What Not, and finally to
old kard-shcll Democracy which is run
and ruled by men whose greatest ambi-
ton is to destroy our country and its
liberties. Every man who suffers HIM

party by scratching ticket he himself

The Republican ticket of Scdgwick

mated, and it is made up of as good men
as can be found i'm the Democratic ranks

For truth it is made up Of honest,
straightforward Republicans, and we
urge upon every true Republican that
he fortify himself against all lies and
all false and whispered insinuations
Let us not only perfect our organi-
cations and be prepared for the great
contest of 1880, but maintain our
self-respect and consistency by showing
the men who have undertaken the de-
feat of Watt, or any other man on the

THOSE LETTERS.

Eggers and Stumbaugh, in their re.
cent published card, say they never
showed the letters of their coparceners
in their conspiracy against Senator In.
gals to any one. But Mr.. Legate, OF
the Leavenworth Press, who is gener-
ally pretty well posted in Kansas affairs,
thinks they are troubled with defective
memories. He says:
"When Stumbaugh and Eggers say
that they never showed those letters to
any one while in Washington, they con-
Wet themselves of bad memory. On the
second thought with memory refreshed,
let them tel the public whether or not
they showed those letters at the house
Of S. c. P0mcroy, whether they showed
them to Capt. Thomas, whether they
showed them to L. W. Ayers; and then,
when the memory of MIR. Eggers is full
ly refreshed, let him tell the public
whether or not he made the acquaint-
ance of some lady friends there, TO
whom he confided his mission and, by
accident or otherwise, left those letters
on the ccntre-table, and that he did not
regain possession of them for twenty
four hours afterwards, and that these
letters, which have been published. were
photographed during that time. WASH

PARTY CUTENESS.

The Democracy OF Scdgwick started
out this fall with blast from its parti-
zan trumpet that walked up mossbacks
who had been dead to all appearances
since the year Lee surrendered the
Confedcracy. They issued partisan
call and nominated regular Bourbon
ticket from top TO bottom and declared
by these TO stand or fall. But since the
Ohio elections desperation has bcgetten
truculcncy, and now every day personal
appeals are being made TO Republicans
Just to vote for "this man" As a compli-
ment. Dark things are whispered
about Republican candidate or two TO
still further weaken their victims. Can
there be found in Sedgwick county Re
publicans so weak as TO be drawn of
from their allegiance in such times as
these? Every Republican should vote
the Republican ticket without scratch
ing a name. Let the Democrats elect
their own candidates.

GOOD MEN.

Henry Vigus. the nominee of The
Democrats for sheriff. and Huff bauer,
the nominee of the Grcenbackcrs for
sheriff, are both honorable citizens and
good men and rs such are entitled to
their respective party votes. We don't
bcgrudgc them the support of single
voter who thinks and believes as they
do. But il seems to us little prcsump-
tive for these candidates to ask or ex-
pee; Republicans to help destroy their
own organization and build upa party
and sustain principle in which they do
not believe. If Vigus can persuade the
Grcenbackers to haul out his chestnuts.
all right, or vice versa. but the Republic
cans who will play cat for any such
Democratic monkeying. are few in
