attend, and eastern and souther roads
will make low rates which viii be an
nounced at an early date. st. Paul
has organized local executive com
mittee and the most complete arrange
ments are being made to give the
teachers splendid welcome to the
northwest, and to make the meeting a
great success. There will be ample
hotel accommodation at reasonable
rates. Local excursions are being
planned to all important points of in
terest in the northwest and on the Pa

THE Ohio Democrats have a good
man for governor in Campbell. It is
probable that they will sell the sena-
torship to Brice, as they sold it Hye
years ago to old man Payne. The
governorship is matter that the fxers
can not trafic in, because it is in the
hands of the people, but the senatorial
seat is rich plum and is held at pub
lie auction for the highest bidder.
Brice has more money than anyone
else seeking it, and of course has the
best show for it. The days Of the
Aliens, Humans, Pendletou's and
Groesbecks ara at an end in the Buck
eye state. Its politics on the demo-
cratic side of the house are as corrupt
and venal as they are in Chicago OF
New York. Money and not brains or
fitness wins. If Thurman were now
in his palmiest days. he would stand
no more show for the senate than
would Private Dalzell.

Novel andUseful.


Retail grocers and other retail deal
ers doing credit business and adopt
ing plan that is at once novel and de-
cidedly useful. They issue to their
customers, coupon books (patentedl
similar to mileage books for. railways,
but instead of the coupon being one
mile. they are for one cent each, the
value of the books varying from two to
twenty-dOllarS. These coupons are
good for their face value in groceries or
| other merchandise at the store of the
finn issuing them. When the books
are issued. the dealer charges his Gus
toner with the value of the book.
When payday comes the customer pays
this amount, and meantime uses the
coupons for the purchase of supplies,
| same as paying cash, thus avoiding all
disputed accounts and saving valuable
| time to both the dealer and his custom
er. Every retail dealer doing a credit
business should adopt this plan, and
should write the publishers for infor-

insist upon his dealer using them there
| would be much less occasion for the dis
putting of accounts. Manufactured

An ADpeaI for Aid.

HUGOToN, Kan, Oct. 10. 1899.
To the people of Eastern Kansas:
In appealing to you for aid, we de-
sire to state that year ago, on account
of dry weather, the people of this
county raised but little. This year we
have total failure; the result is that
our whole farming population is in a
destitute condition; they must have
immediate help or terrible suffering
and starvation must be the result. We
feel it impossible TO provide for our
whole people. We haye had con-
tinued and soaking rain for the last
FIVE days, the best for three years,
which gives our people great hope for
the future. What we need now is
clothing for men, women and children
of all ages; coal for fuel, or money to
buy it. There is no timber in the
county or near it. We need provisions
of all KINDS, meat, flour, meal and corn
for meal, potatoes, vegetables, In fact
anything eatable. We need corn and
oats for feed; and for seed we need So
to 80 day corn. Oats, broom corn
spring wheat, and garden seeds of all
kinds. AS we must cultivate trees to
invite rainfall, we also ask you to send
us seeds as follows: Usage orange, wal
nuts, peach stones, or other seeds or
slips would be thankfully received.
We know how generous you were
treated in the drouths of 1860 and 1874.
We have faith that you viii now pay
that debt of gratitude. We hope that
it is sufficient to make our wants and
necessities known to secure reasonable
help. All goods should be shipped to
Il. R. Kilgore, chairman of the board
of county commissioners. If over the
Rock Island railway, send to Liberal;
if over the Santa Fe, send to Hartland.
We are truly yours,
