Ellinwood Items.

From the Advocate.
A republican resnbmission club is
being organized in this city. A very
long list OF names can be found as
members, which is composed of the best
citizens of the community.
In the bids for the manufacturing of
the milk cans for the Hoisington cream
cry. III. J. Roetzel Of this city, was, az
usual, the lowest bidder and hence.
awarded the contract. About one
hundred cans viii be required. Mr..
R0etzel manufactured the cans for our
creamery and did some excellent work
on them.
The neighbors and friends of r.
Sauer and family, who are now located
at Hurley Wis, will be glad to learn
that they will return to this place within
year or so. Mrs. Sauer and one Of
her sons will come in the spring while
Mr.. Sauer will remain until he can
dispose of his property at Hurley. They
think Kansas cheats 'em all.''

Imaginary Ailments of Women.

There is a class of women in con-
slant trouble about their health, al
though the same amount of strength in
a cheerful woman would be taken as
healthiaess- You fear to accost her
with, How are you, to-day2"a for that
would be the signal for shower of
complaints. She is always getting a
lump OF, her Hide, an enlargement Of
the heart Or u curvs~in lie spine. If
some of these disorders did. not
actually come, she would be sick all the
same-sick Of disappointment. If you
should find her memorandum BOOK, you
would discover in it recipes for the cure
of all STYLES of diseases, from softening
of the brain in 4, womap, down. to the
bots in a horse. Her bedroom shelf is
an apothecary- in-fantum, where
medicines of all kinds may be found,
from large bottles full Of headwash for
diseased craniums, down tothe smallest
vial for removing corns from the feet.
Thousands of women are being dis
troyed by this constant. suspicion Of
their health.
Others settle down into gloomy
state from forebodings of trouble to
come. They do not know why; it is;
but. they are always expecting that
something will happen. They imagine
about one presehtiment a week. A
bird flies into the window, Or a salt
celler npsets on the table, or q cricket
chirps on the hearth, and they shiver
all over. and, expect messenger
speedily to come in hot haste to the
front door and rush in with evil tidings.
Oh, do away with all forebodings as
to the future. Cheer up, disconsolate
onesf 60 forth among nature. Look
up towards the heavens wonderfully
bright by day, or at night when the
sky is merry with ten thousand stars,
joining hands of light, with the earth
in the ring going round and round with
CLEAN, and dance, and song making old
Night feel young again. Go to the
forest where the woOdman's AK rings
on the trees, and the solitude is broken
by the call of the wood-sparrow, and
the chewink starting up from among
the huckleberTy bushes. Go to where
the streams leap down off the rocks, and
their crystal heels chatter over the white
pebbels. Go to where the wild flowers
stand drinking out of the mountain
brook and, scattered on the grass, look
as if all the breads had cast their
crowns at the foot Of the steep. Hank

long-meter psalm Of the thunderl Look

II. Goatley is all smiles. and nc
wonder, an IL pound boy dropped in on
him Tuesday night.
There has been twenty five applicants
for membership to the Riverside
alliance in the last two weeks.
Walter Belknap has engaged with
J. r. Baker as engineer at the elevator

Meeting Sunday morning and evening.
Revival meeting will commence at
Mt. Pleasant school house, mo. 49,
Monday evening. They have been
having prayer meetings all of this week.
The services will be in charge of Rev.
Armstrong, and an Evangelist by the
name of O'Neal.
We call attention to the immigration
meeting, proceedings of which you will
find on frst page. Let every one hav-
ing friends in the east, who contem-
plate change, send in their names, so
that advertising matter may be sent to
them. This is matter that is of vital
interest to every one, and when we
take into consideration the great benefit
immigration to our county will be to US,
we should each of us lend our aid to
further the movement. In reference to
the county defraying the expenses,
some may think this is burdening the
tax payers, but if they will just stop
moment and figure up how much each
one will have to pay, they will find the
amount very small, compared with the
benefit that may be derived therefrom.
