BILI0USNESS.,

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as

is liable to overflow into the
blood, oausingjaundice sallow

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

ELDoRADo, KANSAS, Sept. 2S. 1885.
ED SPIRIT: 1t has been row nearly
six months since left the hills of Mon.
roe, and while the world moves as swift
as usual, il seems but month to me. -
The weather is fine at present, no mud
TO wade through, but nice dry roads the
year round. Iwculi advise those who
intend coming west to come now ss you
will miss a golden opportunity by pro-
crastinatlng. For more than five years
real estate in Butler county has been
SLOWLY advancing IN value and to-day i,
seems only at 9 fair figure.
The next ten years will show the lar
gest development in the west, and espe.
ciaIlYs Kansas, ever known In the his
tory Of our country.
The gradual depreciation In stocks OF
all kinds for the last few years has caus-
ed traffic in the East TO be brough: so
closely to the actual value OF produc.
ton, that thousands of both capitalists
and lsboring men are seeking a more
prosperous outlook. They come west,
as they must, to find "fckle forlune"-
Many engage in merchandising, Others
in banking and manufacturing, while the
cautious speculatcr and farmer invests
in lands. There is not trsde represen-
ted but what will pay well In our coun-
try if properly conducted.
Many poor people. who have striven
for livelihood tor years 10 the East
where property Is too high for them 10
buy with their few hundreds, are still
struggling along. but they are being con-
vinced that it is much better to come
West and secure a happy home OF their
own for themselves and family than 10
live in the hand-to mouth condition 10 |
which they we're living. Their convic
ions will continue to grow until every
DOT Of land in Kansas will be occupied
md cultivated.
Ten years is but short time, but in
hat time all the lands OF Kansas will
lave advanced almost double the pre..
mt value. They who come and pur.
,hase now are most fortunate. There
ire thousands Of acres of good raw
and 10 Kansas that will make FIST class
arms, that can be had from 81 to 8l0
yer acre. He who fails to come and
,ulld himself and family home now, is
lot wise. To those who have q com.
ortsble home, and are dong we'll, i
would say, let we'll enough alone.

was repaired and Seal proved to be a
good customer, bringing plenty of work
to his man, Mr.. Martin, whom he had
suspected for the burglary in the shape
of broken jewelry, watches, etc., all of
which were obtained from Stellers. Du.
ring these visits, Mr. Seal became very
intimate with Martin, and finally sugges-
ted that it might be a good idea to try
their hands at something easier than

the suggestion and proposed that they
