Even if Representative Jason B.
Brown does come from q rural dis
trict in Indiana, he has no hayseed in
his hair. A few days ago he hired a
cab in front of the Rigs House and
drove around to the Sun building,
where he expected to meet a friend to
accompany him on visit. But his
friend was not there, and so he drove
back to the hotel, around the corner.
The trip occupied just six minutes.
ssHow much?" he asked the cab
man.
ssSeventy-flve cents"
ooh, no." said Mr.. Brown, 'syou
can only charge IS cents an hour"
ssIt's just the same for portion of
an hour" said cabby.
eff that is the case,n said Mr..
Brown, s'you can wait here for the
balance Of the hour. I viii be IN the
hotel when your hour is up" Then
he disappeared through the door
way.
In less than fifteen minutes the
cabby capitulated.
give me Is cents and I viii 60
away" he said. He got his money
and departed. -lWashington Post

A Throat
and Lung
Specially.

1y appreciate what a truly wonder
full medicine it is. The delicious
sensations of healing, easing, clear
ing, strength-gathering and recover
ing are unknown joys. For Ger
man Syrup we do not ask easy cases.
Sugar and water may smooth q
throat or stopa tickling a while.
This is as far as the ordinary cough
medicine goes. Boschee's German
Syrup is discovery, great Throat
and Lung Specially. Where for
years there have been sensitiveness,
pain, coughing, splitting, hemor-
hage, voice failure, weakness, slip
ping down hill, where doctors and
medicine and advice have been swal-
lowed and followed to the gulf Of
despair, where there is the sickening
conviction that all is over and the
end is inevitable, there we place
German Syrup. It cures. You are

REMITTED.-Sir Isaac Walpole de-
sired to call up the case of Elder
Toots. Three weeks ago the Elder
fell asleep during the meeting and
rolled down the back stairs and broke
a door. He was promptly fined
$1,000 under the provision of bylaw
No. 1884, and at that time he said he
would pay the fine. After a little
figuring, however, he had discovered
he would be obliged to live 672 years
to do it, and had become discouraged.
He had paid for the door and was
willing to donate a bunch Of shingles
towards the repairs on the roof Of
Watermelon Hall, but he could do no
more. Sir Isaac moved that the fine
he RENTED and the Elder, restored
to all his rights and privileges.
Gas dis seems to be de sense Of de
meetin' it shall be DONE" said the
President; 'sbut hope de great moral
lesson will not be lost sight of. II de
purceedins of desc meetin's can't keep
9 member awake, he'd better keep
away"

STOCK AND rARM.

Cimarron New West: It is stated
that the best wheat harvested this year
wasA not sown until the latter part oil
last October.
Osborne News: It Is feared that
the heavy rains OF last week and Of this
will do considerable damage to grain in
the stack, especially that which was
headed.
Lyons Tribune: Peter Bruer has on
exhibition at the Grand Palace hotel q
potato of the yam variety which weighs
five pounds. It was raised on his farm
east OF Lyons.
Independence Tribune: Lewis Bill
ings, OF Drum Creek, this year grew
nearly 5000 bushels of wheat and over
LOO bushels OF oats. His experience
with fax is ten to twelve bushels when
it is drilled and five when it is sown
broadcast.
Osborne News: Fred, Larosh, OF
Hollenburg, Kansas, who has been
summering his cattle on Kill creek, this
county, started home with them yester-
day morning. He has been waiting
since last Thursday for the weather to
clear up before starting with them.
Cedar Vale Star: The eighty five.
acre peach orchard near Severy afforded
a few pointers to our farmers this year
that they can profit by If they will.
A three fourths interest in this years
crop was sold in the orchard for $4,000,
the purchaser to harvest the entire
crop aud have control of the orchard.
The first thing done BY the experienced
fruit men who were the purchasers was
to go through the orchard carefully and
thin out the fruit. They didn't thresh

picked it, removing the imperfect and
too crowded fruit. When shipping

FIFTY DOLLARS REwARD.-It was
with considerable emotion that the
Secretary read the following epistle:
JACKSON. MISS. July "a. 81.
Hon. Bro Gardner
DEAR SRA cOlored man, calling HIM
self the Rev. Penstock. of your Club. struck
| this town two weeks ago and began to can
vass for money to erect an asylum in New
York for the benefit OF aged and decayed
whitewashers. was thoroughly satisfied
of his identity and went about with him
and helped him to raise $28. also boarded
him two weeks for nothing. When he left
he stole my three white shirts, pair of
the house for eighteen years. Was it the
genuine Penst0ck or an impOstor? He was
cross-eyed, humpbacked and walked side
ways. Fratezcally,
KYISN WHITE.
The Rev. PenstOck was on his feet
and waving his arms before the letter
was finished, and as soon as the Sec
rotary had concluded he shouted:
s'Misser President, de readin' Of
dat letter is an insult on me, an I
potest!"
s'Brudder Penstock, be calm.e
81 can't be calm, sab! It's no
time to tell man to be calm when
he's bin insulted."
81 can't see dat yo' has bin in
sulted"
"Yo' can't! Yo' can't! Has de
President of dis Club lost all his
sense?"
"Brudder PenstOck!" said the Presi-
dent in a husky voice, as he walked
out from behind his desk, ''sOt right
down dis mint or sunthin will occur
to make yer heart ache!"
PenstOck hesitated few seconds
and then sat down, and after a deep
silence, lasting full minute,
Brother Gardner observed:
81 doan' see muffin to git excited
ober. ia man goes down Souf or
out West an calls hisself arter me or
any odder member I doan' see why
we should git excited. Yo' is no
better dan de rest of us, Brudder Pen
stock"

fur his arrest" said the Reverend.
"We shan't do muffin of de sort.
We shall offer de usual fifty, an if de
pussen is nebber cotched we shan't
60 into mournin' ober it,
The Reverend privately informed
Givadam Jones that he would spend
80, 900 of his own money to bring the
imposter to justice, and if this meets
the eye of the man who walks sideways
he will see the necessity of taking to
the brush at once.
EVERYTHING BALANCES Hon.
Canterbury Snowdrop then secured
the floor to ask for information. He
had heard it limited in certain quar-
tiers that the Treasurer couldn't make
his books balance into AZ cents, and
that he had been forced to give the
Club chattel mortgage on his furni-
ture to secure the shortage. Did such
state of affairs exist, or had the ru-
NOR been spread abroad by enemies
of the Club?
''Brudder Snowdrop," answered the
President, with vigor that put out
three of the lamps closest to his desk,
''does you imagine dat I has gone
blind an deaf"

The Sunday Sun,

The supreme court decided the G. L.
Swartz habeas case in Swartz's favor.
Swartz was charged with being the
circulator OF the Kansas CITY Sunday
Sun, and was arrested on an Indictment
by the Shawnee county grand jury, and
released on a writ of habeas corpus BY
the supreme court.
The supreme court now releases
Swartz, and says: 1.-THE act of the last
legislature under which the Indictment
was found was not in force at the time
the Indictment was found. nor when the
offense was said to have been commit
ted for the reason that the act had not
at such time been published.
The facts are. this act was published
in the Capital, the official state paper,
but published under the head of q Joint
resolution. instead of ''Be it enacted"
which made the publication void.
The mistake was not discovered until
after the case had been taken to the
supreme court.

County Printing.


A case Of considerable interest, a. il
involves the much-agitated question Of
county printing, was argued in the
state supreme court. The case came
up on demurrer from Harper county.
On January 9 the commissioners of
Harper county let tho contract for
county printing for one year at full
legal rates. Three days later q new
county commissioner took his seat on
the board. An injunction was then
procured against the county commits.
sioners' clerk and the paper to which
the printing was awarded, on the
grounds that the county commissioners
had no authority to make contract for
any specified time, and that was the
principal point argued yesterday.
The attorney general contended that
the law giving to the board of county
commissioners the exclusive control Of
county printing precluded their letting
the contract for any definite period Of
time, as such contract would, during
its continuance, take the exclusive con-
troll OF the matter out of the hands of
the commissioners. He also held that
it they could contract for one year they
might for ten, and thereby absolutely
take the control of the county printing
out Of the hands of their successors.
He held that the case was analogous
TO the power given to county COM
missioners to designate . bank for
the deposit of county funds, which
tho supreme court has decided did not
permit the county commissioners to
enter into contract for any definite
time for the deposit of county funds.
