That Cantankerous Old woman


Described In the nursery ballad. who ''ive1
upon nothing but ~victuals and drink and
yet "would never be quiet" was undoubtedly
troubled with chronic indigestion. Her
victuals, like those Of many other elderly per.
sons whose digestive powers have become i'm
paired, didn't agree with her. This was before
the era Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one Of her numerous friends and relatives
would undoubtedly have persuaded her to try
the great specific for dyspepsia, constipation
aud biliousness.r This would have been .
measure OF sell. Protection on their part, for
she would soon have been cured and ceased to
disturb them with her clamor. The most OBJ
stinate cases of indigestion, with its attendant
heartburn. fatulence. constant uneasiness Of
the stomach and Of the nerves, are completely
overcome by this sovereign remedy. Chills
and fever and bilious remittent, rheumatism
and kidney troubles are also relieved by 1t.

Mr.. W. F. Unkefer, one of east Dick

thinking he can enjoy his "pile" better

Sheriff Nails pleasant "how-d o-you-

THE LAST MATINEE.
Yesterdays Driving Park Races In
teresting and Lively.

Yesterdays Driving Park Races IN
teresting and Lively.
There was a good attendance yester-
day at the driving park to witness the
last racing matinee of the season. a
program of four contests had been pre-
pared and was carried out with some
good time and close heats.
In the judges stand Jas Culbertson,
g. w. Hurd and J. Z. Martin watched
the proceedings and V. B. CoSad and
J. S. Kelley acted as timers.
The first race was between minerva
and Irmagarde. The summary was:
Minerva; ...--.''....---...-..
Tine: 2:sg, 2;i8l5. a:8s. '''''''''
Ashland Boy and Don Pulling next
were matched. The former was not in
condition and hence did not do his
best. Don Pulling got down to work
in splendid style and lowered all his
previous records. He had never made
better time than 2:S4l; in this race he
got 2:3S. He took both heats, time
2:3S! and 2:SS.
The third race was between Rose
Standish and George L, and was very
pretty one. Rose won both heats;
time, 2:S6! and 2:4l!.
The fourth race called out Agnes
Medium and John. 1t was not very
fast one and Agnes had it all her OWL
way. She took both heats in 1851 and
esq.
The last contest was exciting and
was between Senator Updegraff and
George L. In this the former lowered
his record from 1891 to 2:37. The
time made was 2:S7l and 2:37. Senator
taking both heats.
Altogether the meeting was first class
and was much enjoyed.

Invaded.

Last evening the grand army sup port
ed by their wives, took possession of
the NJ. E. parsonage. So quiet and
sudden was the attack that the fort fell
an easy prey to the invaders. Judging
from the amount of ratiOns carried by
each man and woman, their surprise
was not less than that of the chaplain,
for evidently they expected not less
than two days siege. Soon the chap
lain and his wife were placed under a
strong guard in closed room ard after
some minutes, in which there were
strange movements and whisperings,
they were led into the presence of Past
Commander Anderson, who in neat
speech full of words of appreciation
and good will presented them with a
beautiful and costly china dinner set,
consisting of ninetytwo pieces. Re
freshments were then served, which
bore conclusive evidence that the boys
had not forgotten their propensity to
raid hen-roosts. 1t is to be Hoped that
the officers of the day and the surgeon
did not overdo themselves in trying to
surround those chickens, etc., and are
able to report for duty this evening.
After spending az hour more in COM
pairing army experiences, singing war
and sacred songs, closing with the dOx-
ology, they departed feeling they had
made two hearts lighter and one home
brighter.
May the Lord bless those brave boys
and their self-sacrifcing loyal wives,
ana help them to so acquit themselves
that in the great day of mastering they
each may proudly and joyfully answer

JuHcIlon Clly, 1nuItueys
! Undoubtedly the most enthusiast,
and enjoyable meeting of the three lit
erary associations, known as the Trio

Science Club of Manhattan and the
Ladies' Literary League of Abilene,
was held at Junction City on Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week, the

A. w. Hargreaves, T. Kirby, j. c..
Lyeth, E. MOrehead, F. l.. Parker, c..
/. Wood and Theo. MOsher. Arriving
at Junction City they were met by a
large delegation of the Ladies' Read
ing Club, who escorted them in car
riages to their several homes, where
they were sumptuOusly entertained.
In the afternoon the guests were
driven to Fl. Riley which made very
enjoyable trip. On their return the
whole party were taken to the club
rooms of the L. r. c. where an adj
dress of welcome was delivered by Mrs.

At o'clock the guests were rendered
a very elaborate banquet at the rooms
of the Y. NJ. G. A, which, with the
literary exercises OF the evening lasted
until nearly IL o'clock. Toasts were
proposed by ladies of the l.. r. Z. and
appropriately responded to by ladies of
the G. S. G. and the L. l.. L. The
arga banquet hall was profusely and
exquisitely decorated with flowers. a
large tripod covered with chrysanthe-
NUNS occupied the space where the
two long tables intersected in the form
of letter Y. From this tripod de-
pended by chains of smilax floral

the Trio who were assembled there
to eat, drink, make merry and renew
their pledges of eternal friendship and
loyalty.
The exercises of Thursday. morning
consisted of symposium entitled The
Perfect Womah," by Mrs. Milner, of
the ID. 5. G., Mrs. Hay of the L. Il. G.
and Mrs. Lyeth of the l.. l.. L. This
was followed by an animated discus
sion of the subject in which most of
the ladies took part. at II O'Clock the
guests were conducted to the Y. NJ. G.
A. rooms where a dainty lunch was
partaken of aud greatly relished.
The ID. 5. O.. having to leave at l

depot. After their departure the ladies
If the L. L. L. were treated to car

pied the time most enjoyably until the
time arrived to say goodbye and take
the west-bound train for home. Each
lady carried home with her neat and
appropriate souvenir in the shape of
three tiny Indian clubs tied together
with ribbon and inscribed, IL. r. g.,
1885," but they carried away what was
more valuable and lasting, viz: the
memory of a glorious time, OF old
friendships renewed and new ones
made, and of the graceful hospitality
of the ladies of the l.. R. G.
