To My Lady Friends and all Those
Who are Ruptured.


wish to state that l have been a
sufferer from Umbilical Rupture for
over % years. At first it was small,
not larger than the end Of my finger,
but increased gradually in size for 10
or II years, giving me very little trou-
BILE. My physician treated the matter
very lightly, assuring me that it would
never amount to anything. Neverthe-
less, at the end of that time it grew
suddenly worse and increased rapidly
in size until at the time of treatment
measured 20 inches and reached nearly
to my kness when standing, and the
suffering 1 have endured can never be
realized only by those who are ruptur-
ed. DR.. Snediker treated me the last
of July, 1890, all of which time 1 have
experienced a relief that 1 did not look
for so soon; in fact, life has new
charms for me and 1 expect to be en-
tirely cured. Myrupture has not given
me one single pain since treatment and
measures now "a inches instead of 20,
one month after treatment. 1 write
this for the benefit of those who suffer
in like manner. Do not delay taking
treatment at once from DR.. Snediker
Yours Truly,
MRS. E. A. FOSTER,

A paper is going the rounds about a
girl dying from tight lacing. An edi-
tor commenting on the fact says: The
corset should be done away with, and
if the girls can't 1--we without being
squeezed, we suppose men could be
found who would sacrifice themselves.
AS old as we are we would rather de-
vote three hours day without farth-
ing of pay as brevet corset, than to see
the girls dying off in that manner.
Office hours at all times on such occa-
siOns.

One Of the most amusing comparisons
in the history of Abilene can be had
by reading a bombastic list of promises
made by an incompetent candidate for
mayor as published in the southside
weekly and then recalling the scene
that took place in the city hall last
summer when only by almost physical
force could an outraged public compel
the same man to keep his promises.

Canada is slowly but surely breaking
away from its colonial anchorage
After one of the hottest campaigns of
his forty years of political life Sir John
Macdonald has been again returned to
power, but with sadly reduced major
ity. The majority of fifty-one which
he had when he dissolved parliament
has diminished to about fifteen. The
time is coming when another appeal
will be made to the country and if the
liberals win look out for independence
or annexation.

Constitutional Convention.

Both house and senate have passed a
bill providing for voting on constitu-
tional convention for Kansas. There
is not perhaps a bowling demand for
such a convention. The present con-
stitutiOn has many defects, of course,
and some that should be remedied.
But a convention and a constitution
entail much expense and a general
overhauling.
The point demanding attention in
connection with the bill is the cry of
joy that has gore up from the whisky
ties that it means resubmission and
that the prohibitory provision will be
again given to the people for decision.
They should not be hasty.
The provisions for a constitutional
convention are such that it will be
sometime before any change in the
present law. If it gets. by the governor
the state will vote 10 November, 1892,
as to whether the convention shall be
called. If the proposition carries the
legislature in the winter of 1928 will
set the time for the convention and in
November, 1894, the people will vote
on the adoption of the new constitu-
ton. If carried again the legislature
of IS94-5 will adopt laws in conformity
with the new order of things and the
constitution will then be in force.
So the resubs should not take their
coats off over the condition of affairs
as they are likely to get quite chilly
before there is any legitimate cause
for rejoicing.

Regarding Legal Notices.

Among the few acts of the legisla-
ture which have become laws the fol-
lowing will be of interest to those haV-
ing legal notices to publish:
Section l. No legal notice, adver-
tisement or publication of any kind
required or provided by any of the laws
of the state of Kansas, 10 be published
in newspaper, shall have any force or
effect as such, unless the same be pub
lished in a newspaper of the county
having general circulation therein;
and which said newspaper has been
continuously and uninterruptedly pub
lished in said county during the period
of fifty-two consecutive weeks prior to
the first publication of the notice or
advertisement; Provided that nothing
in this act shall inValidate the publica-
ton in a newspaper, which has simply
changed its name or place of publica-
tion from one part of the county to
another part, without breaking the
continuity of it's regular issues for the
requisite length of time. And provided
further, That nothing in this act shall
apply to counties wherein no newspa-
per has been published the requisite
length of time; Provided also, That
nothing in this act shall affect news
papers that have been continuously
and uninterruptedlv published since
the LIST of January, 1891.
The law is a good one and is
intended to pnt stop to the starting
of insignificant and worthless papers
for the purpose of capturing county
printing, etc.

Forgetting Their Friends.

AS will be seen by the REFLECToR's
special correspondence from Washing
ton, Kas, where the Methodist confer
encg is being held the ministers failed
to give women a required majority
vote for representation and the predic-
tion is made that proposed recognition
of woman by the church will fail. The
Methodist clergy is certainly forgetting
It's friends. The Methodist church
has its strength in its women. AL
most every church's membership, nine
tenths of the prayer meetings and the
same proportion of the public services
of the organization c6htain majority
of women. 1t is probable too that
women pay the greater part of its
revenue in proportion to their means.
Under these circumstances it shows a
remarkable injustice on the part of the
ministers when almost every charge in
conference had voted in favor of
women) not to recognize their frien1s,
