Ge71tlemcr.-A remarkable case has occurred
in our territory. J. N. Berry, man about
thirty years of age, was going down rapidly.
He tried physician after physician, patent
medicines, home receipts-in fact, everything.
He went to 81 noted santarium and returned
no better. We all thought he was dying with
consumption, and only few weeks Of life
were left for him.
He commenced Golden Medical Discov-
cry" and at tho same time commenced to
mend. He has used about two dozen bottles,
and is still using it. He he's gained in weight,
color and strength, and is able TO do light
work. It is just such q case as we should
have listened to rather suspiciousy, but when
we see it we must believe it.

The Farmers Alliance.

Some desire has been manifested
on the part of many to more fully IN
derstand the difference between the
two organizations known as the Farm
ers' alliance, says the Nebraska
Farmer. This difference is of some
Importance as one alliance seems
greatly in favor of certain measures
which the other oppose. One organ
izatiOn is named the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union, and is
commonly called the Southern ALI
ance," merely because it is composed
mostly of southern men. It has or
ganizatIoas in the various southern
states and Kansas, Indiana and Penn
sylvania The following is the list
Of officers of the Southern Alliance,
otherwise known as the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union.
President. L. Polk, n. Carolina.
Vice President H. Clover. Kan.
Secretary H Turner, Georgia.
Treasurer-W. H. Hickman. Mo.
Lecturer-Ben Terrell, Texas.
Executive Board-C. w. Macune
chairman; a. Wardall and j. F. Til
man. President Polk, Seo'y Turner
and Chairman Macune are to locate
at Washington, D. @.
The Southern Alliance is notice
ably southern IN spirit, has an eIabor-
ate government and a very excellent
and effective system of administra-
ton. The president, secretary and
treasurer live in Washington where
they have every opportunity to effect
Legislation and aid this alliance. This
requires quite large salaries to be
paid them It is secret organiza-
ton while the northern is not, but is
open IN its sessions. This alliance
draws the color line. Certain news
papers are recognized as official or
gans.
The northern alliance has only a
skeleton government, that is a very
simple one, with small per diem for
work really done, draws no color line,

BAD AND NOT SO BAD.


Three Crop Failures in Eleven
Years-1ar. Man ley Speaks of
Crops, People and Tariff as OBJ
served in Western Kansas.
From the Atchison Champion.
R. NJ Manley, of the Kansas Trust
and Banking Company of this city,
has just returned from a hundred
and fifty mile drive over Phillips and
Osborne counties, and said to a re-
porter: The corn crop in Phillips,
Osborne and Rocks counties is abso-
lutely ruined. From personal obser-
Walton in the two first mentioned
counties I am convinced that there
will be practically no crop at all. The
same Is probably true of Smith and
Jewell And the corn fields as seen
from the railroad, cause no doubt
that the same is true of number of
other counties. I believe there will
be little or no corn west of Water
vile. From that point east appear
ances are more favorable; but at the
best the crop will be short.
Notwithstanding the terrible effect
the hot winds have had on vegetation
they seem to have an almost braeing
effect on human beings. I felt better
than I have in Atchison during the
| last month, and I noticed the general
| brightness and cheerfulness of the
people, especially of the women. I
noticed also the great improvements
in the country over its condition of
seven or eight years ago. The coun-
try is we'll settled, and the evidences
of industry are plenty. I could not
have seen it under more unfavorable
circumstances, and yet I was greatly
impressed by its capabilities under
normal conditions. In eleven years
there have been three failures Of
crops in Phillips, Rocks and Osborne.
1 don't believe, in view of the bounti-
full yield in good seasons, that three
failures out of eleven make a bad
average. The fertility of the soil and
the beauty of the country are plain
even to one ignorant of agriculture.
When region is attractive with the
thermometer over 100, it is beautiful
indeed.
Questioned as to the policy of the
loan companies, Mr.. ManIey said:
eve stopped lending money west of
Cloud county two years ago, conse-
quently shall have but little land in
the country I have just visited. I do
not know what the general policy Of
the loan companies will be, but as for
ourselves, we shall give the farmers
every chance to keep their lands.
This in my opinion is the true bust
ness policy. These people will need
assistance, and every mortgage
should do his share by being as len
lent as possible. Undue pressure will
have no good effect; will merely re-
suit in driving the people away. That
any land taken will be ultimately a
source of profit, I have no doubt
whatever.

Rocks COUNTY was visited by a good
rain Sunday. The people are much
encouraged, even the animals show
more life. While the corn is gone,
yet the farmers are preparing to
SOW rye, millet and sorghum for fall
feed for stock. Hay is short, but if
the rain continues there wall be a fair
yield. There is no question but
what If the farmers of western Kan
sas would make this a stock, dairy
and wheat country they could do
fairly well. The corn is too uncer-
tain. There will be a large acreage
Of wheat sOwn.

The HERALD takes back none of the
good words it has heretofore spoken
for the Farmers Alliance. We are
in accord with its general purposes.
Some of the methods of the South
ern wing we do not approve. If it
will refuse to be captured by tue old
Democratic ringsters, and does not
allow the saloonites to shape its &C
ton, but directs It's efforts to the ac-
complishment of the objects for
which it was organized, it will do a
good work, and the HERALD will re-
joice in seeing it go to the front.
