What is ScrOfuEa


II is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu.
lating in tho glands OF the neck, produces un.
slightly Jumps or swellngs; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
DEVELOPS ulcers IN the eyes, cans. or nose. often
causing blindness or doafnoss which Is the origin
of pimples, canccrous goWths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
It's more formidable enemy than consumption
OF cancer alone for scrofula combines the worst
possible features OF both. Being the most ancient
It is the most general Of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from il.
How can IL be cured? by taking Hoods sarsa
paria, which, by the cures it has accomplished
often when other medicines have failed, las
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease For all affections Of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparillai Is unequalled and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. fyou
suffer from scrofula in any OF it, various forms
be sure to give Hoods sarsaparil!a trial.

WeatherCrop Bulletin.

PRECIPITATION The rainfall has been confined
principally to the extreme eastern counties this
week, IS per cent falling in the eastern division,
none in the middle division, and II per cent in the
western. There have been good rains in Sumner,
extending thence northearstward through the sue
ceedin counties to the state line, which reach
ing Franklin have extended iiorthward to the north
line of the state. Heavy rains occurred in Miami,
johnson. Douglas, jefferson, Leavcnworth, Wyan-
dotte, Atchison and Doniphan. A fine rain in
Sheridan which extended into adjacent counties.
TENPERATURE.-The 18th and 18th were hot
days, yet generally over the state the temperature
ranged below the average for the week, except in
the counties from Rice to the southwest coruer Of
the state where il was above the normal.
REsULTs.-Through the eastern part of the state
the corn, hay and cane crops are in prime condi-
ton, also in the northern counties FAR west as
the eastern line of Jewell. The crops are general
ly good west of Jewell. But from Jewell south to
Reno and thence southwest to the southwest Ger
ner Of the state the crop are much injured.
Through this district there are fields OF fine corn
which will yield good crops, even without more
rain, and there other fields entirely ruined. In
the west and northwest counties the cool moist
atmosphere and heavy dews have kept improving
the crop. even in localities that had no rain
Chinch bugs are still numerous in Woodson.

Obituary..

\ death in a community is sad under any cir
cumstances. 1t is doubly when Il young man
sinks TO rest. Such is the when we turn TO
record the death of Mr.. Thomas McI.ain, who
died in this city on the 9th inst.
Mr.. McLain was called away in his 25th year
full Of manly vigor. energy and ambition. He had
been ill for some time at the residence of NJ. VI.
Gerard. on Walnut street. During his sickness
he was untiringly cared for by many friends and
by brothers of the orders of which he was mem
ber The very best medical skill added its efforts
to save him. but all proved unavailing, ami he
died mourned by the hosts OF friends who knew
him. He was employed on the Santa Fe road and
was general fayorite among his brother railroad
men. lie was member of the y. o. I. ". of
this city, well rs the Brotherhood of Brake
men and Swtchmen. His parents reside in New
ton, whence he came to reside in our city eight
cen months ago. Ills remains were carried 10 his
old home Saturday and there inferred. large
number of his friends accompanied them in a
special car sent by the railroad company for their
use. Ii Is reported that Newton never witnessed
a larger funeral than his 1t is source of graft
fcation, which, in a slight manner, relieves the
sadness of his demise, that during his lifetime he
thoughtfully provided for his parents welfare.
He was insured in the orders OF which he was a
member To the amount OF $3.50, which will be
promptly paid 10 the family. The friends of the
deceased residing i'll our city extend their SYM
patty to the bereaved parents and nearer friends
in their ailc tion In this expression citizens

Everybody is cutting corn.
Several of Ford's citizens will soon return from
their eastern trip.
Samuel Brink has little daughter very sick
Watermellons are too cheap for very heavy III
come.
Mrs. Ryan has lately shipped car load of cat
tie to Kansas City.
Mr.. Incl has just returned from Kansas City,
where he shipped some fine cattle.
l.. A Palmer is now experiencing the pleasure of
single blessednes, his wife having gone east.
Preaching will be held in the Congregational

Burson. Shaw II Co., have made some land sales
this week, and expect to make more within a few
days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence have gone to Larned for
visit OF week or ten days. they having many
relations living near that city.
Reports have it that our old friend and citizen,
DR.. Crouch will return to Ford this fall, and con-
tinue in his practice.
F. E. Ford will probably be ready quite soon to
store corn, oats and millet our farmers may
wish to sell. NJ Ford will use the old Hubbard
house, on Main street for this purpose.
Our young men should use little more care in
choosing sits for ball playing; several accidents
have occurred, and many more Will follow, unless
ball playing is removed from Main street,
We are informed our city editor of the Gazette,
and our worthy would be county attorney, met
quite serious accident while attending politi-
cal meeting at Pleasant Valley not long since. We
refrain from giving the facts.
Measures are now in operation by the members
Of the Congregational church for securing min
lister for their church. IT'S hoped good man
will be found, with more love for christian reform
than sectarian ambition, if such one could be
employed, our city would willingly support him.
There should be some move BY the citizens Of
Ford and this neighborhood towards the forma
ton Of social and literary society; the material
Is here, the time is not wanting, and all that
seems to be necessary is q move. ". b. :.

Weather-Crop Bulletin.

PRECIPITATION The heaviest precipi
tation this week occurred in Haskell and
Grant counties, where it is over three
inches. From two to three inches fell
in the northern portions of Jewell and
Smith. and in the Verdigris valley,
through Lyon. Greenwood and WoOdson.
Good rains have fallen in the southern
counties west of Cowley and Sedgwick,
extending north through Scott into LO-
gan, and in the northern counties east of
Decatur, extending south into Russell
and Ellsworth. 1t is deficient in the Kaw
valley west to Saline, thence southwest
to Stafford, thence northwest to the north
west corner of the state, also in south
eastern counties.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE. The
week has been comparatively cool and
more or less cloudy with heavy dews.
RESULTS. Some very late corn is still
subject to the weather conditions. also
the pastures and hay grass, these have
been benefited by the weeks imprO we'd
weather. With these exceptions, the
crops are generally advanced beyond
further meteorological influence, except
in the extreme northern and northeastern
counties, here the corn is in fine condi
ton and they are harvesting the best
hay crop for years. In the counties
around the great bend the continued
dry weather has dealt severely with the
corn while the sorghum has made a good
crop and is being milled. Through the
counties east of Harvey and Mcpherson
the corn crop is in good condition while
the potato crop is light. The general
conditions are good. T. B. JENNINGS.
