WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

Some unknown philosopher thus
essays to tell up what q woman can
do which man need not essay or at
tempt, viz:
She can come to a conclusion with
out the slightest trouble of reasoning
on 1t, and no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and get
along first rate, and no two men can
do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in hel
dress while he is getting one under
his thumb nail.
She is cool as a cucumber in half a
dozen tight dresses and skirts, while
a man will sweat and fume and grow
in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates
while two men would be punching
each others head before they had ex.
changed ten words.
She can throw a stone with a curve
that would be a fortune to base bal
pitcher.
She can say "No," in such n low
voice that it means "Yes."
She can sharpen a lead pencil il
you give her plenty of time and plent!
of pencils.
She can dance all night in a pair OF
shoes two sizes too small for her, and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can appreciate kiss from heI
husband seventy-five years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and afterwards
tell you what every woman in the
congregation had on, and in some rart
instances can give you some fain
idea of what the text was.
She can walk half the night with {
colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing the desire of murder,
ing the infant.
She can-but what's the use?
woman can do anything or everything
and do it well.
She can do more in a minute thar
man can do in an hour, and do j
better.
She can drive a man crazy In TWEEN
ty-four hours, and then bring him Il
a paradise in two seconds by simply
tickling him under the chin, and there
does not live that mortal son o
Adams misery who can do it.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that SO much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio BitterS. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long OF
short standing you will surely find re,
SOC, and 81 per bottle at j, w. Conn's
Drug store.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thingh caused such
a general revival of trade at j. w
COnn'S Drug Store as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New Discovery fOl
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never diSappoints. Coughs, Colds
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and al
throat and lung diseases quickly cured
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size 81. Every
bottle warranted.

WHY THEY ARE INVESTING.

AN English solicitor, who is con-
nected with some of the moneyed syn
dicates which are creating SO much
talk in the newspapers at the present
time, explains the reason why so much
foreign capital is seeking investment
in the United States just at present.
in the first place." he says, "this
syndicate is not operating with En-
glish capital altogether. Money from
all sections of the continent pours in
to London for the purpose of being
invested in American enterprises"
What is the reason for it?'
"Well, the truth is there is a wide
spread impression throughout the
money centers of Europe that the
whole continent is drifting in the di-
rection of war. This idea is growing
rapidly, and is causing the withdrawal
of money from enterprises through
out Europe. 1t explains the reason
for the great industrial depression
which has prevailed for some time,
and which seems to be on the increase
rather than upon the wane. Capital
its are looking for something which
will be safer than European stocks
when this time shall come, and they
are sending their money to this side
of the Atlantic in order to be pre-
pared when the crash comes. This
explains talk often heard now of Eng
lish syndicates investing in all sorts
of American enterprises"

We do not notice that the free trade
papers give us any explanation of the
curious phenomenon exhibited in the
fact that hundreds of millions of dol
lars of English capital are flowing in
to this country, to be invested nnder
the blighting influence of a protective
tariff.

If the Mills bill had been enacted
the British capitalists would not be
coming to this country just now to
make investments. They could have
employed their money at home in that
event in making the goods for this
country which our own factories have
been supplying, and which they al
ways will supply while we give them
a fair amount of protection.

THE interstate commerce act has
given the Canadian Pacific decided
advantage over American railroads in
the transportation of Pacific coast
freight. 1t may be good policy to
build up Canadian monopoly" fol
the purpose of killing United States
monopolies, but there are some people
who yet question it.

THE air is full of gigantic schemes
of railway consolidation. They are
the recoil from the blow inflicted by
the interstate law upon commerce
and free organization of transporta.
ton industries. The interstate law
really pointed the way to a general
consolidation of railway interests as
plainly as anything could do.

GOLD quartz lodes are SO abundant
in Alaska that it is not question
where to find them, but as to which
will pay best to open and work. The
Treadwell mine on Douglass Island
has the largest gold quartz crushing
mill in the world, running 240 stamps
day and night. The mill, it is esti-
mated, will send 100000 worth of
pnre gold to the mint at San Fran
cisco during the present year, and it
has been successfully worked at about
this rate for nearly three years. 1t is
owned by less than dozen very rich
men of San Francisco and elsewhere,
and consists of a mountain of gold
bearing quartz which could not be
exhausted at the present consumption
of the mill in hundred years. There
is no shafting or timbering required;
every shovelful of the rocky hill is
passed through the mill as it is
blasted from the mountain side. This
is but one of the mines; dozens are
being opened at different points. The
marvel is, as to what can be done
with so much of the precious metal

including $685., 524 81 of bureau ex-
penses, were 2l1 per cent. of the total
gross income of the United States, and
nearly 81 per cent of the total expendi-
lures of the government for that period.
Years ago the pension payments caught
up to the interest on the national debt,
and then fal outran it; and now they
have become about third of the total
government expenses. They are also
three times as great annually as they
were in 1878. They were greater last
year, by S6O.OOO,O0O, than they were
eleven years ago.
The explanation is not difficult. The
turn of the tide toward enormous ex-
penditures began under Hayes, who
signed the arrears bill. The effect of
this was not only to add hundreds of
millions to the ordinary outlay, but TO
stimulate claim agents to ferret out
applicants, and to redouble their efforts
on pending cases. Urged by the posi-
bilities of obtaining lump sum of
thousands of dollars as arrears for a
client, they made vast additions to the
roll. But this is only one element of
increase. The records show that even
as late as July /, 1883, there were only
300, 65S pensioners on the roll. In the
SIX years succeeding, the extraordinary
addition of 186,067 names had been
made, besides scores of thousands that
offset the names dropped for death or
other causes in that period and of this
net increase IA, 800, as Commissioner
Tanner shows, has been made since
July l, 1885. The amount paid for pen
slons has Increased from $50, 1854, 009 IN
1888, and S64 ,972, S4S in 1885, to SIS, 275,-
lib laid out during the year just closed.
Evidently the old extension of arrears
will not wholly account for these recent
increases. We find, however, that with
In four years great additions have been
made to the roll under the bill giving
pensions to all who served in the Mex
lean war, even without wounds or disa-
bility /; and secondly, that there have
been many increases In the old rate of
pensions, one of which alone added so
per cent. to the annual payments on
fully 100000 pensions.
What the future has in store in this
matter the sessions of the Fifty-first
congress may disclose. But already the
pension organization of the United
States is equivalent in cost to an enor-
nous military establishment, such as
some of those that are imposed upon
European nations.

From present appearances there will
not be a very exciting political cam
paign in Barber county this fall, the
candidates appearing to favor a still
hunt. But voters should not think that
important interests are not involved
because there is no excitement in the
contest. We would advise every voter
to carefully inquire into the past lives
and acts of the two sets of candidates.
The democratic ticket will bear the
closest scrutiny. Its candidates are all
men WHO are identified with the county,
who were selected with the idea of COM
bining honesty and competency. They
were not the nominees of any ring or
combination. The nominees hail from
different portions OF the county, and
they are all popular in the communi-
ties in which they live. Mr.. Burnett,
the nominee for register, Mr.. Gordon,
the nominee for treasurer, and Judge
Stevens, candidate for sheriff, are all
practical and active farmers. Mr.. Bis
santZ, the nominee for clerk, combines
farming with the mercantile business.
Mr.. Aber is competent civil engineer
and surveyor, and DR.. kociell is safe.
sober and reliable physician. These
men are ali sqperioFs, in every way, to
the republican nominees, as close in
quiry will demonstrate.

Not much. Somebody else is doing

arranged by the people of st. Joseph,
Mo-, which began on the 18th of this
month, and after his trip to Kansas he
will return to Washington previous to
a trip among the southern fairs. He
will attend the sugar convention in
Louisiana, and has about concluded to
visit the state fairs of Virginia and Ala
bama, but has not concluded whether
he will attend the other numerous
southern fairs to which he has received
invitations.

Tanners successor has not yet been

Maj. Merrill, of Massachusetts,, was
suggested, but he proved too handy
with his mouth, and as that was what
allied Tanner, Merrill was dropped and
Warner was again taken up, and it
looks as if he will accept, even if he
only serves one year. The G. A. R.

Tanner was bounced, and it now seems
