KANSAS G. A. b.

Nickerson Argosy: The building com
mittee and contractors examined the g.
A. r. building. The plans and specif-
cations had not all been carried out, after
making allowances for some unfinished
work the building was accepted.
Pratt Republican: James O. Bark
well, who was connected with the edito.
rial staff of the KingmRn Courier last
summer, died at the Soldiers home in
Leavenwortb. Mr.. Barkwell resided
with his brother in this city for some
time, and has many friends here tc
whom the news of his death will be re-
ceived with heartfelt sadness.
junction City Republican: There
isn't anything pleasanter in the social
line than the entertainments that the
Grand Army ladies prepare for the old
soldiers and their friends once every
year. The regular annual installation
of the post officers occurred in cClung's
hall and Immediately after it the ladies
served delicious hot coffee, sandwiches
and cake. About 160 persons were
present and everybody was jolly. The
sons and daughters of the old veterans
constituted no small portion of the COM
pany, and they did their full share to-
ward making things lively. At the close
Comrade Robert Smith was called out
and he made one Of his characteristic
speeches, which can always be counted
on to make decided impression. The
Republican hopes the ladies will always
keep up the pleasant custom they have
established.

DOubly Grateful.

A Georgia minister was invited to
dine with member of his flock who,
though we'll enough off in the goods OF
this world, lived sparingly, in his greed
for the dollars and cents. When din
per was served, the host said: Il can't
give you nothing but bacon and greens,
parson; it's all I can afford these hard
times. VIII you ask blessin'?" The
minister responded: lord make us
truly thankfulfor what we are about
to receive. We expect nothing but
greens-and behold here is bacon also.

Shocking Accident.

So read the headlines of many q newspa-
per column, and We peruse with palpitating
interest the details of the catastrophy, and
are deeply impressed with the sacrifice of
human lives involved. Yet thousands Of
mon and women are falling victims every
year to that terrible disease, consumption
friends are satisfied to believe the malady
incurable. Now, there could be no greater
mistake. No earthly power, of course, can
restore q lung that is entirely wasted, but
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
rapidly and surely arrest the rayages of
consumption, if taken in time. Do not,
therefore, despair until you have tried this
wonderful remedy.
