A Substantial Growth.


The following particulars of progress
made during the past grange year, while

The following prophecy uttered
many weeks before election by Henry
George, in the light of recent events
is fast becoming wonderfully true:
On the surface the outlook for
democratic institutions worthy of
the name was never so dark in the
United States as now. The money
power that Jefferson feared is in full
control of all branches of the nation
al government, and never did a con-
gress SO openly and unblushingly use
It's functions to enable the rich to
grind the poor as has the congress
that has just taken a recess. But be-
meath the surface never was the out
look SO promising. The madness of
those whom the gods would destroy
has seized the protectionists, and a
reaction is gathering strength that
will sweep the whole Infamous sys-
tenn away.-New York Standard.
Cold Waves.
The United States Signal Service,
otherwise known as "Old Probs,''
has certainly been of some service to
the people of the Northwest, by pre-
dieting the coming of a cold wave,
when the thermometer takes a tum-
BILE to itself, and the ice man and coal
dealer begin to ask the price of dia-
monds. Generally the forecasts for
cold waves are quite reliable, though
we cannot say as much for the pre-
dlctions of clear weather. General
Greedy and his subordinates are only
men who get paid for guessing
whether it will rain before morning,
or whether it will be cold night, but
some other millions do as accurate
guessing just for fun. Now, these
Signal Service probabilities may
be all guess work, but there is no un-
certainty about "The Burlington"
That it has the smoothest track, the
finest equipment, reaches all princi-
pal cities in nine states, makes con-
nections in Union Depots and has no
"cold wave" OF haughtiness about it's
management, are all certainties.
probabilities" are that if you apply
to any railroad ticket agent you will
be advised to take "The Burling-

Kansas Commoner:
The Australian ballot system of
voting must be enacted as a law lust
as quick as the legislature can do it.
Ii any improvement can be made on
it, SO mnch the better. But we want
the Australian system at the earliest
opportunity. If we had had that
system at this election, Willis would
be governor by 10000 majority at
least. And in all probability the
people would have elected every con-
gresham in Kansas. We have heard
republican hypocrites denounce the
south for years, and loudly demand
freed ballot and fair count. But
at present we want the fair count
right here in Kansas. Little did the
farmers and the laboring people of
this state think that they had so
little power whenever they had to ex-
ert it against the dominant party
power.

Smiling Keeps or Wrinkles.

Here is a recipe recently published in
England by a recognized authority for
the prevention of wrinkles, especially
under the eyes: Draw the mouth hard
into the semblance of a smile. Do this
before the glass, and next place the
index and third and fourth fingers of
each hand on the small mounds formed
at the top of the cheeks and press light
" downward with the tips Then relax
the face at once; again draw up into
a smile, then relax; do this with in
creasing rapidity over and over until the
muscles are tired, always maintaining
the downward pressure with the finger
tips, but not so hard but that the con-
traction of the muscles in the smile viii
raise them each time"

by local applications, as they can not 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 inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness tcaused by Catarrhl that
we can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh
