Gov. CLICK ON short Horns.

Gov Click, in his address at the re-

at Topeka, said that the stock interest is
a matter of great interest to the state.
We have the climate and soil, unsur-
passed by any portion of the United
States. Besides, he elicved thai We

The demand is ever for better cattle
evidenced by the fact that high grades
are selling for six cents while natives
are only bringing four cents and it costs
no more to fatten grade than native
steer. This being the case, short horn
breeders should encourage the bnsi-

The HaskoII-Townshena Imbror,,o.

WAsHISGToN, Feb 16.-Many rumors
have been in circulation about the CAPT
tol to-day touching the imminence of a
hostile meeting between Representatives
Haskell, of Kansas, and Townshend, Of
Illinois as Il result of certain sharp
words which passed between the gentle
men during IL debate ON the tariff bill
Wednesday. Although some correspon-
dence on the subject passed between
them, there is no foundation for the ru-
NOR that challenge has been SCI Mt.
The gentleman who had been consult.
ed IN the matter, and to whom all the
notes had been submitted, said this after
noon to representative OF the Associated
Press that nothing like n challenge, or
Indicating there would be- a challenge,
had passed. the question was asked,
MAY it then be said that the notes have
tended to Cancellation or adjustment ?''
ION the contrary" said the gentleman,
"the matter is further than ever from be-
ing adjusted -
The friends OF TOWNSHIP ud, in discuss

not permit the matter to rest as it
stands, with the imputation of false
hood against him, and there is reas-
on Ia believe that demand will be
made upon Haskell OF more peremp-
tory character than any notes which
have yet passed
Haskell was in his seat as usual today,
and gave no indication that other than
public business occupied his thoughts.

the necessity of any further correspond

CONSUMPTION.

1t is SAID that $4,000 people die an
nnaIly in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is from
consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and
the 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 DIR. Bosanko's
Cough and Lung Syrup will relieve an
ordinary cough or cold. 1t does not
dry up a cough like many preparations
on the market and leave the disease be-
hind it, but acts directly on the throat
and bronchial tubes, removing all the

mulates in the throat and lungs. Il
