George C. Osgood & Co., druggists lowell,

Moody ST., desires to recommend st. Jacobs
Oil to any afflicted with rheumatism, and
desires especially to say that orrin Robinson
of Granville, Mass, boy of II years came
to his house in the summer Of 1881 walking
upon crutches his left leg having been oent
at the knee for over two months and could
not be bent back. He could not walk upon
it. Mr.. Dennis had some st. Jacobs OIL IN
the house and gave it to him to rub on his
knee. In six days he had no use for his
crutches and went home well without them,
and he has been well since st. Jacobs on cured
him." In July, 1887, inquiry was made OF the
MesSrs. Osgood to ascertain the condition OF
the little cripple, which brought the follow
ing response: Lowell, Mass, July 8, 1857
The poor cripple on crutches, Orrin Robin

FARMERS ms TITUTES.

The following resolution was
passed at the recent farmers con-
vention held in Wichita:
Resolved, That it is the judgment and
recommendation OF the convention that
the farmers in all the different counties OF
southwestern Kansas form in their re.
spective counties associations to be known
as farmers institutes, which shall hold
annual meetings in the interest Of agricul-
ture and the general advancement OF all
matters pertaining to the welfare of the
farmers. It shall be the duty Of the vice
presidents of this convention to take
charge of this business and organize these
associations in their respective counties
and that this convention becomes per-
manent organization to be known as the
Southern Kansas Farmers Association.
This is cheering news. There is
fully as much need Of farmers insti-
tutes as Of teachers Institutes. In
Trego county we have taken this
matter by the forelock. The farmers
institute organizations which was
organized at Wa-Keeney in March,
1886. is one of the master strokes of
policy on the part Of our farmers.
The farmer who fails to appreciate
the necessity of holding a farmers
institute at least once a year, and
being present as participant should
change his occupation. In choosing
it he has made blunder which will
prove costly. If not fatal.

gitimate functions as the chief Of
public mentors. The reason is
plain. Financial encouragement
is required to encourage mental la
Dor. Intelligent discrimination on
the part Of the people would result
in sustaining properly such papers
as are deserving, and letting the
others 60 to-well, it does not mat
ter where! The paper which agii-
tates to a living reality an. institu-
ton of general public value lis
treated sbabbily if it is notsupported.
The treatment is not only mean,
but foolish; because every conn
munity needs the aid Of such a
paper for the accomplishment of
new enterprises.
A paper which urges its city gov
eminent to adopt progressive
public policy, instead Of squandering
the peoples money as mere matter
of form, should be upheld by every
friend Of the corporation.
A paper which urges. the estab-
lishment Of manufacturing enter
prises, instead of trying to do alb
jectly the bidding of political ring
bosses, should be encouraged to con-
tinue in the good work.
A paper which has counseled
moderation in booming its locality,
to the end that the inevitable season
Of depression should be as pleasant
as possible, is the one for friends of
any community to support.
Will not our business men and
the people throughout the county
consider the thoughts herein pre-
sented? Will not they unite in
giving such support to newspaper
in Wa-Keeney as to enable it to
''strike out on some new lines" as
the Gazette would say? As it is
now, new lines must remain un-
touched, and many of the old
ones be abandoned. Our business
men can afford to be practical serv-
ers of their own interests by adver-
Using literally.
Nearly every resident Of the
county can afford to take a pro-
gressive home paper, and pay for it.
What do you think about it?

LNcoLN's war secretary seems to be
getting all worked up at the pleasantries
of our Glencoe correspondent. A short
time ago the secretary declared, in dark
corner in Ellis, that Tilton ought to be
horsewhipped. In the last fash OF his
Headlight he says Tilton fills about as
as big space in this locality as peewee
in blizzard. These two propositions
are the unquestionable mother of the
deduction that Secretary Baldwin's cor
rect measure, by his own gauge, is a
horsewhipper of peewees. He can't get a
fuss with US as long as he reasons thus
logically!

IE1RN A TR4DE.

The one great lesson which [ desire tc
have impressed upon every scholar ano
inmate of the school is that in this coun-
try every abls-bodied, healthy young
man, who has learned a good mechanical
trade and is truthful, honest. frugal, tenn
perate and industrious, is certain to sue
coed in life and to become useful and
respected member of society," 1. y
Williamson.
This is true. Yet Mr.. William
son omits one element which should
be present with every proposition OF
this nature. The bent Of the child S
mind should be the dictator Of the
nature of its apprenticeship. Our
country is studded with men who
are not themselves because they did
not learn the right trade. 1t is
better for a person to be skillful
and happy railroad grader or barn
cleaner than an unskillful, unhappy
soldier or house carpenter. As a
rule, ambitious zeal and easily-rec-
Ognized success crown the path OF
him who has mastered the trade Of
his choice.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES.

The Gazette starts out to-day with
an interesting line of special telegraph
dispatches. These will be given every
day. and will contribute very valuable
addition to our paper.
There are score Of lines on which we

an identity on the Kansas side of the

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
There is story circulated in the East
to the effect that western Kansas Is IN
"siege of restitution" by reason OF !ali-
ure of crops in that section, and that 1t Is
being depopulated. The Fair Assocla-
ton and Board of Trade of Hays City
deny the report as wholly untrue. When
talking about it's wonderful resources
Kansas may be something of liar itself,
but it can never hope TO compete with
Eastern newspapers when they under
take to tell of the dronth and cyclones In
the Southwest, or of the billiards IN the
Northwest. When Kansas passes into
state of want, it will not call on the
Eastern press to first proclaim Its destl-
tuition Kansas City Star.
The Hays City people have done
the proper thing. But the Star
utters great truth when it says that
Kansas can not compete with the
eastern press when the latter under
takes to tell of the misfortunes OF
the Southwest and Northwest.
The fact is, there is precisely one
reason for this wholesale defamation
Of western Kansas. This is that
the late boom Violated Natures laws
by seeking to build up this. region
too rapidly. Some of those who
feel the force of the punishment
seek to hold western Kansas respon-
sible for the abuse of Nature by
themselves and dishonest land
agents. Thus it is, as we asserted
freely during the prevalence of the
late boom in this region, that disap-
pointed people go east and circulate
ISLANDERS which prevent the steady
development of western Kansas. 1t
ought to be stopped. Our news
papers should make war upon fool
booming. Our people should back
the newspapers IN this holy war.
Western Kansas is to-day a more
inviting field for immigration than
it ever has been before. Why?
Because the period of agricultural
success is more nearly approached.
Because churches, schools and other
public institutions are more numer-
Gus. Because more timber is grow
ing. Because our people have better
matured plans concerning the basis
of our industries. When it comes
to the crop failure Of last year, it
was nothing to brighten the intelli-
gent settler. He saw only repe-
tition, in form slightly extrava-
CANT, of what he had become versed
in seeing. Last year, as we'll as in
other years, the intelligent farmer
could grow feed for his live stock.
This region never has been fit to
rely upon for profit in straight
farming. But, as stock-farming
country, western Kansas stands
upon it's merits. The sensible home
seeker will not wait for boom.
He will come now. He will locate
himself much more advantageously
than he could amid the throes Of "a
boom. Booms are curse to locali-
ties which they strike. If anybody
wants to take this up, we are here
to defend the proposition. Its
sickening proof is to be seen in cen
trail and eastern Kansas, where
whole cities are suffering from a
paralysis superinduced by murder
Gus mixture of hurrahing and over
building. Not one man in a
hundred has been permanently
benefited by those booms. Every
body in those localities is now
suffering and wondering when the
country is going to catch up with
the towns.

Of course, we are short in thu

trained troops for active service in
the field. Secretary Baldwin has

we were humbly participating in
scouting in the Southwest. In
those days we, of course, never saw
the secretary. he has been ALFRED
resolute, even at times defying the
expressed will Of the president. But
we want to give the secretary a
pointer. We mean it as friendly
warning. Perish the thought that
any little personal matter could keep
US from preventing the flow of pure
red gore! The pointer is this:
Voter is frightened. He is liable
to start out of the country. He
will have to take in Ellis on the
route, because Of having some as
yet un-wound-up business there.
He is armed to. the teeth, and such
is his fear Of you, Mr.. Secretary,
that, rather than face you. he will
shoot at you around the corner of q
barn with his surge-ram if he
smells your approach. Please, then,
for our sake, crawl into your hole,
and pull the hole in after you,.when
you hear of his probable passage

LONG OR SHORT EDITORIALS.

LONG OR SHORT EDITORIALS;
Two veteran newspaper men are
debating this question with some
some degree of warmth. Geo. W.
Martin advocates, without qualifca-
ton, short editorials. Sol Miller
thinks long ones necessary at times.
On the face Of the returns, Mr..
Martins case would secure the pop
ular verdict of this generation.
These are times when people read
fast-many almost fretfully. 1t is
true, however, that there are lines
Of thought which can not be cast
into one short article. The ques-
ton now is, will you make several
articles Of one Of these lines OF
thought, and thus run the imminent
risk Of the reader over looking some
of them, or will you argue the sub
ject through as briefly as possible
under one heading? Mr.. Miller, we
take it, follows the latter course. II
strikes US that Mr.. Martin frequent.
