Resolved, That the constitution and
laws Of the State and Nation are but
the capitalization Of public Judgment
snd they should command and receive
the respect and support OF all good
citizens, regardless Of race, color or
nationality. We therefore demand
the faithful enforcement Of the eonsti-
tuition and laws Is the only means Of
preserving and perpetuating our lib
erties.
THE above resolution was adopted
by the recent Shawnee county Repub-
lican convention. It is q resolution
which should be In the platform Of
every Republican county convention
this fall, and In the State and Repub-
liean county conventions next fall. II
comprises in a nutshell all that Is
necessary with reference to prohibit
ton and prohibition laws. Prohibition
is q part Of the constitution, and'is no
longer an issue before the people. The
only legitimate issue now IL whether
the prohibition law as well as all other
laws should or should not be enforced
The Republican party has declared In
favor Of their enforcement, and upon
that Issue It will stand or go down.
To do less than Il has done, would he
ablect cOwardice and totally unworthy
OF the great deeds and aspirations Of
the gFandest party which has existed
since the foundations Of our govern
ment were laid.

1900 miles long through an almost
unexplOred wilderness. It will prove
to be one Of the best Of ell the routes,

Il is said that $1,000 people die an
nually in the United States alone
from this disease. In some sections
OF the country one death In every
three is frUm Consumption. This can
be and should be avoided; our people
are too careless about an ordinary
cough or cold, and other symptoms Of
throat and lung affections that lead to
this disease. You should arrest It
while it Is In the germ. Two or three
doses Of DR.. BosankO's Cough and
Lung Syrup will relieve an ordinary
cough or cold. II does not dry up q

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by q
sense OF weight In the back, Ioins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some sf-
fection Of the kidney or neighbOr
organs. At times, symptoms Of lndi-
gestions are present, as flatuleney, un-
easiness Of the stomach, etc, A
moisture. like perspiraiiOn, producing
n very disagreeable itching, partieu-
larly after getting warm ia bed, Is a
very common attendant. Internal,
External aud Itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of Dr. .BOsaDkO's
Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
TumOr. allaying the intense itching,
and effecting n permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the sys-
tenn produces disability, but try It and
be cured. Price so cents. Ask your

paid, on receipt OF price. Address

It differ from the Methodist EpiscO-
pal church
ARsDer. This sect was founded
among the Germans In Pennsylvania
by Phillip William 0tteFbeim aud
Martin BOehm IN 1850. In 1870 they
numbered 4,0l0 churches, l ,96T minis
ters, lS6,076 members, and their
church property Was valued at more
than s., 500, 900. The church has ten
educational Institutions in Western
States, and large printing establish
ment at Dayton, Ohio. The members
are sometimes called German MethO-
dists, ~ their faith Is Arminian; but
their church policy Is a mixture of
MethOdlsn, oDngregatiOnalism, and
PFesbyterianism. Like the Metho-
dists, they have quarterly, annual,
conferences; but their bishops are
elected for only four years. They are
very severe In requirements Of candi-

q Nan DtscENOEo FRoN eeARs ;


Frederick q. Gherke, Professor Of
1ooiogy and Comparative Anatolny at
Williams College, has arrived at Den
Ver and been interviewed bY q Nelcs
reporter concerning the theory ad-
vaneed by him in bis book, 'The
True Descent Of Man. that nan IL
descended from the bear. Professor
Gherke was graduated from the uni
versity Of Leipsie, and afterwards
spent several years In England where
his book wes Published sOon after
DaFWin's deAth, and attracted wide
attention.
The object Of his visit to Colombo,
the Professor said, WHs TO hunt among
the fossil disfFicts,of the State,for speci-
mems that will illustrate his theory,
and for fossil remains generally for
the college museum. II am not an
old man. he said, fand hope to live
long enough TO find the connecting
link"
Speaking Of his theory IS opposed to
that Of the descent from apes, falsely
called the DarWlnlan theory, he said
IAN ape has none Of the character
isties Of the human. An ape imi-
tates-a man reasons. An ape has
four hand0, neither like mans lands
or mans feet. A man has only two
hands and two feet, thoroughly dis
tinct. An ape or 3 monkey Is an idiot
The lower order OF men are not idiots
They have capabilities Of humans.
MAN Is descended from bears" he
continued, with much emphasis. "DO
YOU ask me ~ there has been any con-
Meeting links found between man and
bears? / IansBer yes, and / can prove
IT, In q museum &C Paris i saw a
skeleton Of q cave bear. ] examined
it closely. / was convinced that Il
had a partially developed knee-pan.
Since then I have studied the matter
closely. went over in my mind to
time beyond the history Of man. I
remembered that skeletons Of primev-
al men had been found Ia caves
with bears. Almost the earliest men
we know about lived IN caves. Have
bones Of men ever been found Ia
caves? No. There is another thing.
Nearly all pTimeval human skeletons
found are OF gigantic size. The bear
Is nearer the size Of man than the
average ape. or course, the gorilla IL
an exception, but we find no monster
gorilla. The bear could have gotten
rid Of his little fragment Of a tail
much more easily than an ape could
Of his. A tailed man always seemed
to me about as absurd IA a man with
wings.
my idea Is that the earlier bears
came down through Behring's Straits |
and drifted down toward the tropie |
shores OF Asia on icebergs. The lee
bergs melted and the bears easily
found shelter on islands and on the /
coasts. In the course OF the ages |
great floods came and the bears |
sought shelter I'm the caves. In the |
meantime great changes had been go
ing on. The bear had gradually been |
shedding its heavy coat as the result |
Of the warm climate. The bear had |
also learned TO walk on It's hind legs. |
In the caves, in the dry warm atmOs-
phere, other changes took place. The |
link was a kind Of hairy, |
indeseribable man. He often lived /
and died Ia these caves beside his /
elder brother, the bear"

overlooked two Of the most important
and needed interests Of this or any

First comes the implement works Of
Briggs, Gebhart & Co. The amount
Of work turned out there Is surprising.
It maintains several families among
its operators, and Is coming to the
front with very rapid strides. Also
the carriage mandatory Of Dieken-

the mattress factory Of EberhartBrOs'
which from the stock invested, the

Of n business recognition and will
state right here for our correspondent,
that from that factory this year will
