A Kind and Grucrous Deed

Kansas: This rec INNS eudatiun is written
without solicita ion from anyore; but | owe
it to those similarly afflicted TO say that by
the use of the Shakr Extract of Roots
(Siegels Syrup | was cured OF an obstinate
and almost fatal indigrsu upn--holh stomach

raw eggs and milk. Now both omach and
liver are performing their functions. have
many friends in Wesrern Ohio, Northeast
Iowa and Southwest Missouri who would
like to know this"
The Honest Shaker although he does
not boast OF his purity, always makes goods
that can be relied upon; for instance, his
Shaker Extract of Roots (Siegels Syrup is
really a valuable article. 1t is not recon-
mended as a cure-sll, but as a remedy for one
single disease, viz; Indigestion, in which dis
ease it works like charm. The Shsker Tar
Capsules cure Coughs.

The Fair.

The management Of the Dickinson
County Fair have expended over tif-
teen hundred dollars in improving the
Fair grounds. and are devoting great
amount Of time to the preparation OF
the different displays that will be made.
The premium list speaks III plain and
unmistakable words that they are bound
to make "A success of the coming Fair
i'm September. let it cost what it may.
In addition to the speed ring, which
will present the most magnificent field
of horses that has ever been beheld at.
any county fair in Kansas, they will
have without doubt the best gather
ing of live stock that has ever been seen
here. They offer in addition to all
thorough bred stock liberal premiums
for all grades, which gives every farmer
who takes a pride in stock raising a
chance to make an exhibit no matter
how small.
The fruit will surprise you, and those
who have friends that are skeptical on
that subject, should not fail to have
them attend the Fair. All kinds of
fruit, from the Irish potato to the de-
liciOus pear that will almost melt in
your mouth, and the rich grape that
will make the -prOhibitiOnist yean
for chance to squeeze the juice out OF
it. Will be there, and in fact every kind
of farm produce will be seen on exhibit
ton at the Fair grounds.
The art display will be contributed
to by the most skilled hands our coun-
ty has to boast of, and i'll no other place
in the State can such rich display be
seen for so small amount of money.
In conclusion, we would say that it
should be the desire of every farmer
and householder in the county to make
the Dickinson County Fair perma-
nent institution among us, and the
only way to do so is to pdtrOniZe it;
and as all premiums under ten dollars
require no entrance fee, the association
have to give away, for the benefit OF
those who patrOniZe them, a great a
mount of money. Therefore, the only
way You can help to build up this praise
worthy institution is to come to the
Fair and take your family, or your girl,
or get your parents to go along. Now,
see that 20 do it. See that everybody
in your neighbOrhoOd, who is large
enough and old enough, attend and
you have done your part. We, one and
all, certainly wish to see our Fair a
success, and such it is going to be.

To show that the prohibition law is a
failure, what is to be gained should 1t
be enforced? With the best enforce
ment there is nothing to prevent a
drinking man from signing statement
that he has dyspepsia, OF govt, or pain
in the side, or some other ailment, and
presenting it to legalized druggist,
and getting anything he wants in the
way of liquor. To be sure, he must say
he does not want it as beverage, nor
to sell nor to give away. But the small
est of white lies are not difficult to sur
mount. OF course it is taken as med
icine. but unlike other medicines, it
must not be taken on the premises.

THE TICKET

Placed in nomination last Saturday
by democrats in convention is strong
one, and will be triumphantly elected
In November next. We take great
pleasure in hosting the names of such
worthy men at the head Of our editorial
page, not because they are democrats,
but because they are in every way COM
petef to discharge the duties OF the
Offices to which they aspire, they are
conservative in their views, and are the
favorites Of large majority of the
voters of Dickinson county. Their
past good records are too well known
throughout the county to need any i'll
PRODUCTION at our hands.
FOR TREASURER.
Al. V. Brilliant is an old citizen, tried
and true, sterling qualities, accommOda-
ting to all and possessing great ability,
is certainly qualified to fill the office.
More, Mr. b. wore the blue all through
the war with honor to himself and to
his country, and consequently we have
no doubt.Of his election by large ma
jority.
FOR SHERIFF.
J. J. Miller, who has never fiinched
from performing his whole duty, how
ever hazardous it might appear some
times, and who has proven himself to
be a competent and efficient officer du-
ring his past term, was cOmpllmented
by receiving unanimous vote by the
convention for denomination. lie also
was brave solder and wore the blue,
and, with his contempOry Brilliant, is
an honOred member of Abilene Post,
G.. A. r. Hence, he will receive also
the fattering testimonial of the public
confidence by big majority in Mover.
FOR CORONER.
VIM. Perkins received the unanimous
endorsement of the convention for cor
Oner, and as he has filled this Office
before with satisfaction to all, his cleo
ton is assured.
FOR COMMISSIONERS.
John Irwin, of Chapman, is one of the
oldest settlers of the county, substan-
tial farmer and man well qualified for
the duties of this responsible position.
His opponent will find him the ELI to
get there in this contest.
GOOD FEELING
Prevailed throughout the delibera-
tions of the convention, save a few
slight liars" as to how the committees
should be named, sc. The convention
was one of the largest ever convened
in the county, which demonstrated the
fact that democracy had rapidly in
creased in the county during the past
three years. With ticket unassaila-
BILE, and strong pull and pull alto
gether," the democrats of Dickinson
county can go into the coming contest
without the least fear of defeat. Every
thing is most favorable for us this fall,
and the REFLECTOR predicts a great
victory for its candidates on the first
Tuesday in next November.

The folling shows some of the cur
runt methods used by the Republicans
to carry their precinct at the late prim-
aries. and the scheme will be strongly
denounced at the polls next November:
An unprincipled method of gaining
votes was restored to at the Republican
primaries held here Saturday. Some
twenty individuals left their own pre-
cinct. where their favorite candidate
was in the ascendency, and claimed the
privilege of voting in this. The Judges
made no objection, and they cast their
votes here. j..
When a voter lives in a precinct
where a polling place is set apart for
the benefit of himself and fellow-elec-
tors, he should be compelled to cast his
ballot there, and not intrude in another
district-SoIonisn Sentinel

From the b ston Herald.
A correspondent asks for "tht
reason for the Hcrald's opposition "a
the establishment OF n department OF
education, with secretary having 8
seat III the cabiuei." One reason Is
that the federal government has moth.
ing to do with the work of public
instruction, as conducted in the
schools; and, therefore, there is no
constitutional warrant nor proper
iiaiu for department and secretary
of education. The establishment,
support and direction OF schools are
mattersthat rest entirely with the
states; Aud, while the general govern
nent has granted aid TO common
Schools, this has always been applied
through state channels and local ma
chinery. Each state has its own
school system, and In the varied ex-
perienoe and friendly rivalry which
this diver, ity secures aud begets, the
eause ofpopnlar education has found
its greatest help to progress. Local
self-government, and the independ-
ence of the states in matters that they
have reserved the right to manage,
is essential to the harmonious ofk-
ing of our system.
