Mr.. Il. P. Stevens:
Dear Sir-I will most cheer.
fully add my testimony to the
great number you have already
receiTed in favor OF your great
and good medicine, Vegetine.
for I do not think enough can be
said in its praise; for I was
troubled over thirty years WITH
tha. dreadful disease, Catarrh,
ani had such bad coughing
spells that il would seem as
though I never could breath any
more, and Vegetine has cured
ue; and I do feel TO thank God
all the time that there is so good
g medicine as Vsgetine, and l
also think it one of the best med
icincs for coughs, and weak,
sinking feelings st the stomach,
snd adrise everybody to take
The Vege.ins, for l Can assure
them it is one of the best medi.
cines thst ever was.

One Of the things that stirred up the
medical men when they assembled in
Atchison was the famous law passed last
winter, and supposed to regulate the
practice of medicine in Kansas. The
question was, did the law mean any
thing. and. if 50, what? This writer
after hearing all the discussion knew less
about the law than before. The repre-
sentatives of the assembled doctors have
since taken legal advice of Guthrie 4
Brown, Of Topeka, and have found out,
First, that the law does not take effect
till after June |, and consequently all
the examinations WHICH have been held
by the other schools have amounted
to nothing Second, the law Of 1870 has
been repealed only as to that part which
require a doctor who has not diploma
to have practiced ten years before he
could get certificate. The new law
prescribes FIVE years. The rest of the
law Of 1870 is in full force and effect
The wisdom which makes a new law
without repeating, amendingor referring
to an old law covering the same ground,
confirms report for some time in circu-
lation that the Kansas Legislature is a
big thing.-Atchison Champion.

BETTING ON A SURE THING.

A tough-looking citizen walked into one OF the
Justices courts yesterday forenoon very much
intoxicated, and requested that he be allowed to
swear drinking for year. His Honor oblig-
ingly put him through the solemn motions, and
the convert, with a confused rumble of well
meant but profanely expressed resolutions, Stun
bled ont of the court room.
'.Bet he don't keep it an hour, - said one Of
the grinning lawyers.
"Bet he sticks to it q week, anyhow OBJ
served the Court with confidence.
'.Nonsease!" cried everybody.
'What'll you bet?'' asked the Judge.
''Ten to twenty, exclaimed an eager attorney
producing the money.
.'DOnc!" cried His Honor, and the stakes
were turaed over to \ Chronicle reporter.
Constable said the Court quietly, go out
and fetch that man back
In few moments the reformed one was drag
ged in and the Justice assembled his dias, raped
for order and looked severe.
Charged with being drunk said the Court.
whats your plea2''
''Guess I'm fuli,' admitted the prisoner with
an idiatic smile.
'.Ten days in the county Jail. Constable, lock
up your prisoner. Mr.. Reporter, hand this
Court that wealth. Courts adjourned. Boys,
let's go and food our lower levsls.''

There is an organization being formed
in this country, principally among the
farmers, which is said to have for its
prime object the reputation of certain
portion of their debts. 1t appears that
many Of them have borrowed money Of
the Eastern agents to whom they paid
large commissions, and giving mortgages
with large interest, on their farms as
security. They now object to paying the
large rate of interest and think that the
commission paid the agents should be de.
Quoted from the principal. A lawsuit
with these moneyed corporations would
only fill the pockets of a few attorneys
and result in no benefit to the farmers

One of the most specious arguments
that we have seen advanced is, that the
Republic must trust to its citizens for
the maintenance of order at the polls.
These citizens, it is said, are always at
hand and must be called on in case OF
need. When it is remembered that citi.
zers do the rioting when any is done.
the absurdity of expecting them to be
ready to preserve the peace must be evil
