Sc!ofula in Children

The following is taken from letter
written under date of July 1, 1889, by
Mrs. Ruth Berkley. most charitable and
Christian lady, Of Salina, Kan. I'm the
early part of 1887 scrofula appeared on
the head of my little grandchild. then on.
ly eighteen months old. Shortly after
breaking out it spread rapidly all over her
body. The scabs on the sores would peal
off or the slightest touch, and the oder
that would arise would make the atmo-
sphere of the room sickening and unbear.
able. The disease next attacked the eyes
and we feared she would loose her sight.
Eminent physicians from the surrounding
country were consulted. but could do
nothing TO relieve the little innocent, and
gave it as their opinion, that the case
was hopeless and impossible to save the
child's eyesight' 1t was then that we
decided to try Swift's Specific Is. S. S.
That medicine at once made a speedy and
complete cure. For more than year
past she has been as healthy as any child
in the land.

Tucked away in an obscure colum OF
the local organ of the republican party
we find this suggestive dispatch:
JEFFERsoNvlLL, IND, Nov. 12-The
! Union League, republican organiza
ton, to night burned an effigy of Presi-
dent Harrison, together with all the
club, because of the presidents course
in the matter of appointments.
Senator Quay is credited with say
Ing that the control of the federal Of
fee is positive menace to the secu-
rity of the party in power. The same
sentiment has been expressed before,
but coming from so eminent ''prac-
teal politician as Quay it possesses
the force of piece of expert testi-
mony.
The JeffersonvilIe incident is only a
local outbreak of an almost universal
feelirg of dissatisfaction with the
course Of the President. That such
dissatisfaction exists among Kansas
republicans is notorious That it is ram
pant in Kansas City must be obvious to
all observers of local political thought.
The tendency of the President to exs
alt himself and ignore the wishes Of
his party is everywhere recognized and
commented upon. The result will be
a party revolt and the retirement of
Harrison and his tribe in 1892.

Europe was never such camp of

teeth. In a trying emergency the var
ious great nations are capable Of putting
the following forces in the field. France,
100000 men; Germany, 1900, 600;
Austria, 1,5000, 900; Italy, ,, 5000,
600. Here we have total of 10000,
600 men armed with the deadliest weap-

No account is made of the armies of
Great Britain. Spain, Turkey, Denmark

CONCORD NOTES.

his many friends and relatives in this vi
cinity last Sunday and Monday.
The election passed off quietly and a
full vote polled. The s,ratchers were
there judging from The result of the vote
for the various candidates.
The rains, SHOWS and frosts are hinder
ing the sorghum men considerably.
McCaulley and son have quite large
amount of cane to manufacture into sy-
rup. Their capacity is 90 gal. per day.
N. II. Kimbel who has been working
as section hand on the Rock Island at
Ford City for some time past, returned
home on last Tuesday to vote. Mart is a
loyal Democrat ard is always found doing
duty TO his party.
Wonder if the parties who took the sid
ing and flooring from Mr.. Kinder's house
are going to use the same? Boys you
had better leave the colt at home next
time also wait until the ground gets
solid again as loaded wagon is very
easily traced across the prairie now.
S. c. Currey and family was visiting
north of Dodge last Sunday.
The Concord ship came sailing round
the bend all loaded down with Independ-
ent men.
The boss kicker was ON deck on election
day. When he saw that Bell and Cox
were earring the day he thew himself in
to the breach to stem the tide but the
harder he work ed the more Republican
votes they got. He finally wound up by
offering voter 25 cents to vote for his
father for Trustee. Verify the kicker

Ii Can't Be Done.

The man who can run newspaper
without being criticised, ccnsured and
threatened has never been found. He is
a barren ideality, beautiful to think
about, but incapable of talking on mo-
rality and associating with vul gar hu-
manity. 1t is as impossible for him to
please everybody as it is for everybody
to please him. and the sooner he makes
up his mind to this stubborn fact the
better For everybody concerned. If he
works hard for tie public good, he re-
ceives public censure; if he compliments
he is consured by jealous demerit;
if he approves morality, he is cursed by
immortality; if he tries to be fair he is
censured by the unfair; if he makes a
mistake, few are found to overlook it
or apologize for him. No matter how
good his motive may be, how innocent
his purpose or how studied his writings,
he Is picked to pieces, misrepsesented,
malignied, ridiculed, sometimes licked
and seldom defended. He works from
twelve to fifteen hours per day for a
bare living, while other men get rich
around him. He works up marriage
potice many yards long to the queen S
taste for nothing and is threatened
with lible suit or duel if he records a
drunken spree of the groom SIX months
afterwards. Yes, it Is impossible We
repeat, for newspaper man to please
everybody. As well attempt TO chain
the wind or stop the fury Of the light
ning.-Exchange.

when the Voter is Alone.

The following election story is current:
just before the election three men weie
together, when two Of them fell to discus
sing the Australian system of voting, while
the third man remained silent. One
thought the system a good thing, aSit
would tend to the purity, privacy and the
Independence OF the ballot. The other
was of the opinion that the system was
an experiment attended with delays and
was OF doubtful good. Having delivered
themselves they turned TO the silent man
and said: Nv hat do you think of IT,
He got himself together and said: Il
don't know When man is left alone
with his God and his lead pencil there is
no telling what ne may do or what may
happen"

THE FORD MAN KICKS.

The Republican county ticket was
almost totally showed under by the
trcaclery Of Dodge City members of
the party. The country precincts did
their part well aud but little scratching
was done on either side, but in the place
where honor counts but little Republi-
cans voted the Democratic ticket, so as
to save time III scratching. BY this
action, Dodge City has really disfran-
chised the rest of the county. And
how long will the country precin-
cts stand such dishonorable treatment?
How much longer will the county seat
be allowed to dictate who shall he the
county officials? If the country precin
cts have "a grain of sense, they will
combine TO down Dodge City and gain
their rights. 1t seems to US the proper
way to do this is fer the Republicans ()
TO learn to be decent and honorable, and
nominate men in the country exclusively.
This they can DO because they can have
the majority Of delegates in the con-
ycntion. OF course the ticket will be
defeated in the county seat. But what
of that it will be anyway unless it is
made to suit the leading element. But
let the Democrats have the Offices un-
I'll such time when the Republicanst?
of Dodge City can be fair and just.
This battle must be fought some time
and next year will be the proper time
