Catarrh can be easily. quickly. pleas
antly and lastingly cured by the Elect ric
Jar. 1t clears the head, sweetens the
breath, and cures Catarrh in all its stages.
The Jar will cure the worst nervous
headache in from one to three minutes
No waiting for results, this novel and
true curative shows its wonderful power
instantly, and gives universal satisfaction
as cures by natures remedy are perma-
nent.
Catarrh, common and dangerous
maiady, when chronic, is liable to con-
sumo the frontal bones of the skull, de-
stroy the cartilages of the nose, and I'M
de mine and blight every function and
faculty of its victims The breath is Of
fensive; the memory, the reasoning pow
ers, sight. hearing, and the senses Of taste
and smell are impaired; the digestive and
sssimilative functions become disordered,
and consumption ensues. The 81 Elec-
tric Jar will eradicate catarrh and pre-
vent these evils. A fortune for agents.

The sum and substance of this di-
vision of the 18th judicial district has
narrowed itself down to the candidacy
for the judgeship. The future is not
looked at Two or three ambitious
men and their jealous friends are de-
termined to sacrifice the future, polit-
ically, for this part of the state in Or
der to satisfy their private greed for
public office. It is said that Senator
Wilson is in favor of the shoestring
division because Chas. W. Smith. the
probable appointee in such event, is
a personal friend. We submit that
SO grave matter, affecting ten coun-
ties should not turn upon the private
relations of individuals, but should be
considered with reference to the good
of the Ehole constituency, and from
the best means and reasons at hand
the compact division of the district is
most suitable and judic;ous for this
part of the state. The Colby Tribune
of last week contained Lengthy and
readable article in favor Of the shoe
string district, but to the candid mind
the positions taken by that naner are
to be commended for their ingenious
ness rather than for their excellence.
Elsewhere will be foand the opinions

The fetal assessed valuation of the
State of Kansas for 1880 was $780,
S91 $50: for 1888 it was $3.50, 24S,-
1928, an increase of $192,356,642.-
63, or l20 per cent for the last eight
years. This is a larger per cent OF
increase than that of any Southern
state in the same period; beating
Texas, the largest by far of the south,
ern states, over Is per cent. Texas
only made an increase of 1O7 per cent
from 1886 to 1888, while Kansas made
an increase of 12O per cent. The real
cause of this difference is to be found
in politics, the enterprise of the citi-
zens of both states. and in all those
conditions which grow out of superior
intelligence and energy. Kansas is
republican; Texas, like the rest of the
Southern states, is democratic. Kan
sas is enterprising and progressive;
Texas is cursed with the incubus,
bourbonism-an insurmountable bar
rier to genuine progress. Kansas is
distinguished for brains, schools. in
dustry and indomitable persistence;
Texas isn't. That explains it all in a
few words.-Atchison Champion.

The people down about Wichita are
talking of proposed change in the
terms of the United States district
court. They are said to be unani-
mously in favor of dividing the state
in two districts, north and south, and
dividing the terms of court in the
south district between Fort Scott and
Wichita. They claim that under the
present arrangement the terms of
court are too short to dispose of the
business, and that relief of some kind
is necessary.
