Mr.. G. v. Pulpress, of No. 48 Liberty street,
Allegheny, had for long time suffered from a
weak, tired feeling. no ambition, pain across
the small of his back and palpitation of the
heart. His complexion was very sallow, and as
the diseased condition of his kidneys from
which he suffered further progressed. his stom-
ach became involved. He had bloating belch-
ing OF gas and distress after eating. He lost
tesh his memory became poor and his mind
became so affected that he could neither read or
think, and was in constant fear of becoming in

seemed 10 be in whirl. and he became so

''Mr. Poe was about FIVE fest eight

large and full. gray and piercing. He

shaven. His nose was long and
straight, and his features finely cut
The expression about his mouth was
beautiful. He was pale, and had no
color. His skin was of clear, beau

first knew him. but had fine figure,
an erect military carriage. and quick
step. But it was his manner that most
charmed. 1t was elegant When he
looked at you it seemed as if he could
read your very thoughts His voice
was pleasant ana musical but not

My intimacy with Mr.. Poe iso-
lated me good deal In fact my girl
friends were many OF them afraid OF
him, and forsook me on that account.
I knew none of his male friends. He
despised ignorant people, ard didn't
like trifling and small talk. He didn't
like dark-skinned people. When he
isTed. he loved desperately. Though
teader and very affectionate, he had a
Guick. passionate temper and was very
jealous. His feelings were intense,
and he had but little control of them.
He was not well balanced: he had too
mach brain. He sceffed at every
thing sacred. and never went to
chnrch. If he had had religion to
guide him, he would have been bet
ter cnan. He said often that there was
a mystery hanging over him he never
could fathom. He believed he was
borr to suffer. and this embittered his
whole life.-Reported by Augustus

To tho Paris Opposition.

We are in receipt of the following
circular letter, (which explains itself.
Our commissioner to the Paris exposi-
ton should be given all the Opportuni-
ties available to place Kansas rightly
before the world, and anyone having
information or specimens that will
assist him should comply with his re-
quest as stated herein.
Florence Kansas, March, oOth. 1889.
DEAR SIR:-Having been appointed
Commissioner for the State of Kansas TO
the Paris Exposition of 1889, wish to
Justify the trust reposed in me by the
governor, in doing the most energetic
work of advertising Kansas all over
Europe.
The uncertain and threatful condi-
ton of the different nations of the old
continent, and especially of the people
speaking the French language, on the
one hand, and the highest state OF civil
lization that has been obtained by
Kansas on the other, affords, IN my
judgement, the best opportunity for US
to endeavor, during the Exposition. to
secure the citizenship of the capitalist.
the manufacturer, and wealthy farmer,
who now contemplate seeking more
peaceful country.
In conformity to the law authorizing
nv appointment, have just complet-
ed and handed to the State Printer the
manuscript of pamphlet, in the French
language, containing a condensed his
tory Of our State, showing its growth
since admission into the. Union, and
the many JUDGEMENTS it offers to the
higher class of migration.
have been frequently applied to-,
since my appointment, for advertise
ment of certain localities in my State
Pamphlet, but deem it a duty of inn
partiality for me to make no special
reference to any particular portion OF
the State. Consequently my own
writings show voluntary omission OF
anything that brings to prominence one
portion of the State over another pOr-
ton. However. I'm order to render
more complete the purpose Of my mis-
sion. wish, in addition to my general
work. to have the counties, the cities,
the board of trade, and the corpora
lions throughout the State, to furnish
me, for my Office at Paris, and for dis
.tribution, all information, including
maps, charts, pictures, photographs and
mineral specimens, and more particu-
larly, special pamphlets Of such charac-
ter as will help give to my labors the
best possible results, and to thoroughly
advertise to the Old World every part
of State unrivaled in it's rapidity and
continuity of its development.
Respectfully,
EMILE F1RMIN, Florence, Kan.

Stand by Kansas.

The man who owns homestead on
the rich prairies of Kansas is to be con-
graduated. If he will but ''stick" to
his quarter section he will eventually
win the great battle of life. The farm
ers, who, through three years of short
cropss remain steadfast and are deter
mined to demonstrate that Kansas is
the best state in the union, will be re-
warded. Reverses come to all. Kan
sas has passed through trying times
and is now entering on an era OF great
prosperity. The men who have hero
ically braved the storms incident to the
settlement of new country are worthy
of special praise. The world respects
and honors men who press to the front
and blaze pathway into wilderness
or build an empire on the western
prairies.-C Capital Commonwealth.

The DEMOCRAT has spoken plainly
of several things Of late; not to be
abusive or fault-fnding, but to call the
attention of its readers to matters
which should be remedied for the gen

objection to the plan of making the
coming city election political issue
we have but voiced the sentiments Of
a majority of the citizens of the city,
and believe the result of the election
on the End of April will bear us out
in the assertion.

Killed by the Cars.

Saturday evening last. the 18th, a
man named John Doe. a farmer, was
killed by the east bound train on the
Santa Fe extension, near Beeler, in
Ness county. He was driving along
near the railroad; the engineer blew
his whistle repeatedly, but the man
did not hear it owing to the high
wind, until near the crossing. The
team then became unmanageable and
dashed onto the track in front of the
cars, which literally smashed the en-
tire outfit to pieces, killing the man
and one of the horses outright and
manning the other so that it had to be
killed.
