Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-01-16

ONE of the paradoxical features of
the working of the prohibitory law in
Kansas is seen right here in Shawnee
county. About all the corn that has
been shipped from the Menoken and
Silver Lake districts has been shipped
direct to the Peoria ddtstllleries. This
i!g certainly a erime, and ought to be
stopped at once. Why, it is actually
said the wicked farmers are getting
cash for their grain. Horrors! just
think of it. Call out the Mets.-Topeka
Democrat.

CONGRESSMAN PETERS sees the
handwriting on the wall and said yes
terday that Kansas is liable to become
a democratic state in spite of the 50, 900
republican majority if something is
not done for the oppressed farmer.
Here is statement that is worth ten
thousand votes to the democrats of
Kansas and will be used to good effect
in the next Wichita
Journal.

EARNEsTNEss is a wonderful power
in itself. Let a man be in earnest and
the very magnetism of that earnest
ness will show itself to others and
create an impression that no simula-
tion of earnestness can produce. Let
the farmers and laborers of this county
be in earnest in their combination for
the overthrow of monopoly's power
and their ranks will fill SO rapidly that
their very numbers will compel respect
from lawmakers.

patches on our pants. Oh! those pants

The Best Tonic.

There is good deal of condensed
wisdom in Julian Hawthorne's latest
homily on the value of outdoor exercise,
when he says that if some genius were
to invent tonic that could be put up in
bottle, which could freshen man up
after fatigue and depression as much as a
brisk walk of couple of miles in the
open air, he could make gigantic for
tune in six months. And yet people go
on taking tonics, elixirs, pick -me-ups
and so forth, which they have to pay for,
and which do them no lasting good !;
while the elixir of the open air, which
they can have for nothing, and which
not only restores them, but actually
lengthens their lives-it is difficult to in
duce them to take that. t.-Boston Herald.

ADOCTOR's CONFESSION.


He Doesu't Take Much Medicine and Ad.
vtses the Reporter Not To.
"Humbugs OF course it is. The so-cailed
science of msdicine is humbug and mas
present. Why the biggest crank in the In
dian tribes is the medicine man."
Very frank was the admission, especially
so when it came from one of the biggest
young physicians of the city, one whose
practice is among the thousands, though he
has been graduated but few years" says
the Buffalo Courier. .sVery cozy was his Of
flee too, with its cheerful CRATE fire, its Queen
Anne furniture, and its many lounges and
easy chairs. He stirred the iire lazlly, ighted
a fresh cigar and went on.
'Take the prescriptions laid down in the
books and what do you find? Poisons mainly,
and nauseating stuffs that would make
healthy man an invalid. Why in the world
science should go to poisons for It's remedies
Icaunot tell, nor can l find any one who
can"
"How does a doctor know the effect of his
medicine?" he asked HE calls, prescribes.
and goes away. The only way to judge would
be to stand over the bed and watch the pa
tient This cannot be done. So really
don't know how he is to tell what good or
hurt he does Sometime ago, you remem-
ber the Boston Globe sent out a reporter
with stated set of symptoms. He went to
eleven prominent physicians and brought
back eleven different prescriptions Ihis
lust shows how much science there is in
medicine"
There are local diseases of various charac-
ters for which nature provides positive reme-
dies. They may not be included in the regu-
lar physicians list perhaps, because of their
simplicity, but the evidence Of their cura-
tive power is beyond dispute. Kidney dis
ease is cured by Warmers Safe Cure, strict
" herbal remedy. Thousands of persons,
every year, write as does H. j. Gardner, of
Pontiac r. l., August Z. 1890:
"a few years ago suffered more than
probably ever will be known outside of my
self, with kidney and liver complaint 1t Is
the old story-f visited doctor after doctor,
but to no avail. l was at Newport, and DR..

Cold Waves.

A cold wave, as defined by Professor
7. Russell, is fall of temperature in
twenty-four hours of twenty degrees over
an area of SO, 900 square miles, the tenn
perature in some part of this area de-
scending to thirty degrees. Between
1880 and 1890 no less than 691 cold
waves were recorded in the United States.
In the great cold wave of January II,
1882, the fall of twenty degrees extended
over an area 1, Ill, 900 square miles, and
the fall of ten degrees included an area
of 1898, 600 square miles. In six cold
waves of the ten years the area of the fall
of twenty degrees was more than mil.
lion square miles. Cold waves follow a
day after an area of low pressure, or oc
cur to the southeast of an area of high
pressure, attaining their greatest extent
when both conditions are present to-
gether. They occur only, however, in
the presence of an area of high or low
pressure. Trenton (N..J) american.

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
In musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by tho
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

A Petrifled Indian Princess.

A party of fox hunters accidently dis
covered cave in the neighborhood OF
Staunton, Ind, the other day, md in ex-
ploring it the petrified body of a. Indian
woman, whose ornaments proclaimed her
Princess of powerful tribe, was dis
covered. Her arms and limbs were en-
circled with bracelets of gold and bone,
while around her neck was band of

found in less degree of preservation,
and scattered throughout the cave were
specimens of good jewelry and collec-
tion of stone cooking utensils, axes,

A New Way of Brushing Hair.

"The proper way to brush hair" says
well-known hairdresser, ''is not to
brush it lengthwise, but to hold the
ends of the hair, if it is long enough, and
simply scrub with the brush. This pro-
cess promotes the circulation of the
blood, and excites the oil-glands to =
ton. After the hair has been Thoroughly
brushed in this way, it should be then
finished with few vigorous strokes
lengthwise of the hair. ."-NeU York

Many Of the crack players who con-
tested in last years tournaments for
the championships are entered again
this year. With the exception OF tho
Newport Tournaments all the entries are
pretty full. The double championships
for men, East and West, promise to All
and 20 be very successful. while the
singles at Newport are sure 70 bring
out the biggest crowd Of tennis lovers
and tho finest playing OF the year.
Newport makes tennis a business dur
ing tournament week. Nobody does
any thing else, and all the talk among
tho fashiouables while the playing
lasts is OF good form, reverse and over
hand service, forehand and baekhand vol
leys and other equally technical terms,
which, however. are quite Ineligible,
since every body may be presumed to
know the rules of the game.
The Newport tournament is really
the climax OF the tennis year. and all
players strive 70 get in the best possible
condition for IL II is not unlikely that
there may be little human vanity in
this, "a the tennis court is sure to be
surrounded in fine weather by bcvies OF
the prettiest girls imaginable, who take
a deep interest in the tactics, and who,
besides are really com npetent 70 criti-
else, since almost all know how to play
capital game. Tho Newport singles
this year will be fought for at the end
OF the season-the last week in Septem-
ber-which is little later than usual.
The fact that in late years little atten-
tion has been paid 60 other tourna-
ments outside of Newport has stirred
up the competing teams 20 action, and
some particularly brilliant work may be
expected.
