scalpers here having been caught selling tick
cts to Denver for SO, the Union Pacific has

KANSAS THE BEST.

The following timely remarks on
the present condition Of Kansas and
Kansas farms we find in the South
Kansas Tribune:
Kansas is beginning TO put on her
emerald robes, and in u fortnight no
state in the uuiOu will bear compare
son as a scene OF beauty. In Cherokee
county the wheat has already dropped
its scared tints and its tint of green
gladdens the heart Of every one. With
arm spring days the farmers are at
work rs in no other section Of this
broad land to the north of us, and the
acreage of oats and grass seed sown
in the last two weeks is greater than
ever before, and blowing for corn is
the order OF the day. The Kansas
farmers, especially in this county,
have advantages possessed by those in
no other state. With O soil equal 10
the very best we have i'll addition a
climate that permits the growth
of a greater range of products than
grown in other ATTITUDES, gives the far
mers from two 10 three months more
time to work in, with never less than
$50 days without Il killing frost, and
consequently, with tame grass pas
lures, a very short feeding season.
With the same kind of farming as
in Illinois or Ohio, with clover, blue
grass and timothy pastures, good
barns and good stock, a Cherokee
county farmer can produce horses,
beeves, pork or mutton at 80 per cent
less than in colder climates. With re-
turning prosperous times and the OPEN
ing of spring begin to invite your old
time friends 10 visit you. Low railroad
rates will he given. Have them come
any time from now until the crops are
cribbed, let them see what our soil
will grow, investigate closely, eat our
luscious berries and fruits and melons.
We want them hero 10 share with us
in prosperity aud to help us develop
the natural advantages of our county.

neafness Cnn,t be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucus lining of the
eustacliian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition hearing will be de-
slroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an fniiamed condition Of the
mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars

catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
