Readers of the newspapers OF the day
cannot fail TO be impressed with the fact
that the modern advertiser is progress
| i've.
He is compelled to be. else competitors
more active in the invention of new ad,
| vertising devices, will outstrip him In
public favor.
The value of printers ink judiciously
and scientifical Y employed cannot be
| overestimated; n is the medium whereby
a meritorious discovery is raised from
| local fame to position In the public es-
TEEN. Hence the columns Of the news
papers are daily used by hosts Of adver-
Users and in the competition which is in

The greatest Of American advertisers,
and it may as well be said in the world,
is 81. Fl. Warner of Roct ester, N. Y,
whose name has been made everywhere
familiar IN connection with Warmers
Safe Cure, widely advertised because OF
its merit in the prevention and cure of
kidney diseases
By printers ink this great discovery
has achieved world wide popularity and
thousands feel grateful for the knowledge
thus acquired OF this greatest of modern
remedies.
Furthermore, the public has beer
taught that disorders of the lungs. brain.
heart and liver which have hitherto been
regarded and treated by the profession as
distinctive disesse are not so in fact, but
are the attending symptoms of disease OF
the kidneys; therefore. the consumptive
the apoplectic, The paralytic. and the suf.
ferer from nervous disorders can be re,
stored to health by Warmers Safe Cure
which will remove the true cause of those
disorders by restoring the kidneys to
healthy action. .
The advertising methods employed by
this greatest OF advertisers are invariably
instructive and, although the reader may
sometimes be caught" in reading an sd
! vert;sement, which was not at first sup,
| posed to be such. there is nevertheless nc
time lost since useful information is in,
variably gained concerning life's grea,
problem.

Trouble over a school Contract

John Volk i Co, of Rock Island. 10
whom was awarded the contract for cree
ton of our new school house, submitted
satisfactory bonds and formally closed
the contract Friday of last week Satur-
day they broke ground for the building
and excavation for the foundation Is now
going on. After the letting of the con
tract Messrs. Shaw and Waite, counsel
for O'Bryan and Stewart, who attempted
TO secure an Injunction restraining the
board of education from proceeding with
the building, notified the contractors
that suit was pending, evidently with
| intent TO intimidate them from ex>
ecution of the contract. The matter
was submitted to the ablest counsel
in Rock Island and the contractors
advised to go ahead The probability
is that the only point seriously consid
cred was whether OBryau and Stew.
art had given bond sufficient to com-
pensate the contractors for any annoy
snce that further attempt at litigation
might cause them. 1t seems high time
that child's play in regard to the new
school house is abandoned. The people
Of the district do not want to be har-
raised by further quibbling and kicking
against the school house As one of the
heaviest tax payers in the district said
the other day, Il favor the school house,
though l did express opposition to 1t
when they told me it was to cost over
$4,000 never was opposed to rea>
sona5le expenditure for such building,
as We need and has been contracted for"
\ And this Is the general sentiment now
that the facts are known to the public.
Gross Misrepresentation was at the bot.
tom of the feeling engendered against the
school house, not only as to cost but as
to the legality of the acts OF the board of
education. With the facts as they exist
the people are satisfied .-Geneseo Re =

ally day or two before the attack, the

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

The school board made a squirt at
a special meeting yesterday, and
in fact had a meeting, but did little. The
cause for the excitement was that the
committee on teachers had announced
that it was LOADED and ready to report.
but the powder seemed to be slightly
damp and acted very much like it was a
cloudy Friday.
The board was all present and the COM
mittee asked further time to make up its
report. 1t seemed that the report had
been made out, but the chairman of the
committee, Mr. Campbell, had not been
present at all the meetings Of
the board, and wanted more
time, which would give him
a chance to figure to some extent. So it
was set down that out of pure courtesy to
Mr. Campbell the report would not be
made
Mr.. Lawrence reported that the COM
mittee to look after hall for the COM
mencement exercises, had secured the
Crawford for the occasion. 1t was decided
that the board at its regular meeting in
June would undergo the metamorphosis
and come out reorganized for the ensuing
year according to a recent law on the
question.

WILL PLEASED WITH WICHITA.

The Rev. Kendall and wife left last
evening on return trip to their home at
Hartford, Connecticut. He was seen in
the afternoon and stated that his visit to
Wichita had been a most pleasant one and
that so far as his business in Kansas was
concerned he is perfectly satisfied. For
eastern newspaper articles he had at
times been led to fear that Kansas and the
west in general is some notches below par
but from an Investigation as careful as a
few weeks could allow he had become
thoroughly convinced that anyone suspic-
ious of the west should make ar investi-
CATION and surely all doubts would be re-
moved. He seemed to think that Wichita
as a city had certainly accomplished won
ders in the last few years and that it's
growth would be continued and Wichita
would do the work of a city for the vast
territory naturally tributary. While in
the city he made number of acquaint-
ances and friends who hope for his return
and he has their best wishes.
