all the horrible sensations Of an assassin clutchng
your throat and pressing the lifebreath from your
frightened chest? Have you noticed the languor
and debility that succeeds the effort to clear your

depressing influence it exerts upon the mind.

pains and strange nosesl How difficult it is to rid
the nasal passages throat and lungs of this pois-

recommend 1t to fellow-sufferers. No statement
is made regarding it that cannot be substantiated
by the most respectable and reliable references

CURE, one box OF CATARRHAL SOLVENT, and an
IMPROVED INHALER. with treatise and drec-
tons, and is sold by all druggists for S1.OO.

The Same Verdict.

Z. C. Murphy, writing from Thayer,
Neosho county, to the Kansas Former
says:
81 am pleased to report to you the
complete success of our efforts to obtain
the necessary stock to build butter
and cheese factory at this point. We
have closed the contract for a factory
capable of working into butter $4,000
pounds of milk in ten hours, using the
De Laval separator. The building and
ground complete will cost $500. We
think this good move to help the
farmers in this vicinity, as when dry
season cuts the corn crop short, the
fodder will make first-class cow feed it
well cared for. Our farmers are be-
ginning TO see the need of mixed
farming and the great loss in keeping a
COW standing around to raise a cheap
calf, free boarder for six months. 1t
is most too far between money pay
ments for the Kansas farmer who sells
grain. The creamery will bring him a
monthly payment
How would it do to write to Mr..
Murphy for particulars?

times are not hard enough for that!
But there is something else that costs
me large amount every year which

but must retrench somewhere;

way to effect quite u saving in another
directiOn-pleaSe stop my tea,
coffee and other unhealthy luxuries!
mo, no, no, not those, must think OF
something else. All, have it now!
My paper costs $50 q year. Please
stop my paper,-that will carry me
through the panic easily. believe in
retrenchment and economy, especially
in brains.''

City Election.

There promises to be lively times at
our spring electionn The question of
"Who win be the .mayor:' is the lead
ing one, and after that has been dwelt
upon-openly and candidly by the men
who have the interests of the city at
heart, but slyly and reservedly by the
ones who have political axes to grind
the other Offices are discussed, from
councilmen down TO constables. And
it is right, too. that people should take
an interest in the election of our city
officers. 1t is too often the case. that
an Indifference upon the part of voters
permits chronic Office seekers and willy
politicians to get in where better. men
are needed. In the city Offices there is
little or no pay, and when you see a
chronic politician, loud partizan of
any politics, making a strong effort to
gain city Office it is safe to put him
down rs having some old score to pay
off, or an object in view other than to
work for the best interests of the city.
Everything indicates that this sum-
mer will be the beginning of another
series of exceedingly prosperous years
for Kansas. and we want to make good
selections when electing the officers
who will have charge of city affairs.
We want men of good judgement, firm
decision, and above all, men who are
not seeking Office for personal or
political gain.
