The story that the SITTER published
last week, on the authority of one
Smith in regard to the fellows mother
coming to life proved, as we expect
ed, purely sensational, or in palmer
language, lie out of whole cloth.
This Smith it seems was at Moth
Bennington about this time and there
told how sickly it was in Londonderry,
and that how one Pierce and his wife
and five children had died, and that
no one could be had to take care OF
them until he went to their aid. II
would seem that this modern Ananias
in his travels from this town to Ben.
nington makes regular business OF
lying at both ends of his route. He
ought to be fired out.

Does it Pay to Advertise:
This is a question often asked yet
it admits of an easy answer; in fact
but one answer. If you have any
thing for sale somebody must know
it before it can be sold and the more
that are informed of the matter the
greater opportunity for its sale. So
if you have meritorious article, and
something that the people want it will
pay you to advertise it-and to "keep
everlastingly at it" too. This has
just received pointed illustration in
this place. Some weeks ago drug
gist G.. G.. Smith, who previous tC
that time had quietly dealt out to a
few of his customers a rheumatic
cure, commenced to attractively ad.
vertise it in the SITTER. Since that
time he has sold about one hundred
and fifty bottles over his counter, be-
sides sending it out by the dozen up
on the orders of various dealers il
this locality. He has received orders
and inquiries from every point thai
the SITTER reaches, even as far as
Illinois.
1t has paid him to advertise.
1t will pay any one who has mer.
itorious article.

A GOOD AND CHEAP FOOD.

Whole Wheat and How to Cook 1t to Make
It Wholesome.
The structure of grain of wheat 10
marvellous in symmetry and orderly as
a fine piece of architecture. Protected
by six coats, so as to keep for three
thousand years, it incloses a body made
up OF polished germs and granules of
starch and gluten inclosed by con-
nective ibrous tissue in bundles or cells
built on the principles of spherical
geometry. Each bundle fits its fellow
perfectly. The gluten cells which form
the sixth coat are beautifully ranged
around, and remind one of the lovely
Norman arches in England. Under po-
larized light the starch becomes a thing
OF beauty and joy. When cooked prop
erly starch does not polarize light
Hence . test of cooking.
When one considers the admirable
protection coats of wheat it seems
strange to remove all these coats and
expose the body unprotected so long be-
fore use as is done. We don't do SO with
potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc. Hence
the idea that whole wheat cleaned is q
good article of food 1t is found that
the flavor is excellent and appetizing
even when eaten raw, as the old Roman
soldier did, and got the full amount of
mineral matter that our Creator intend
ed should be got when wheat was eaten.
1t saves money and health. Four parts
OF cold water to one part of whole
wheat Cleaned in a smuttiug-milD
steame d in an all-double boiler
for ten or more hours gently and
continuously, then served with butter,
cream or milk and seasoned with salt,
makes . dish of vegetable food fit for
kings and queens or the soyereigns in
republic. In all eleemosynary institu-
ticns, hospitals, asylums, camps, ships,
or prisons it is a concentrated and
cheap diet building up the nervous
system, teeth and bones. Even dogs,
who are carnivorous, fed on wheat
thrive, and fed on -four died in forty
days. The objections to the hull /
have found to be fallacious after care
full neurological examinations. The
process Of cooking may be shortened by
cracking the whole wheat in q coffee
mill beforehand.-E Cutter, in

One of PIumb's Last Letters

Hon. D. r. Anthony, Leavenworth, KS.
UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHING
TON, d. c., Dec. 8, 1891.-Dear Colonel:
I have been glad to notice in the recent
editions of the Times that you have not
abandoned the views which you have so
often and forcibly expressed on the cur
rency question. 1t is more than ever
necessary that these views should OBJ
tain, and hope you will keep up the
fight, thereby aiding to give proper d.
rection To public sentiment in Kansas
and elsewhere.
There is abundant evidence that this
question is coming to the front IN a ma
tonal way. Men who for the past fif-
teen years have been treating with con-
tempt all the propositions that have
made in that direction, are now seeking
me out to say that have been right.
and that they will cooperate In the flu
ture; in fact, the feeling is very strong
to shift the issue from tariff to the cur
rency.
Something will happen one of these
days which will open the eyes of a good
many people, and when it does happen
you will be in condition to take large
part of the credit. Before this congress
is over, in my judgment, you will find a
large majority of the republicans, per-
haps all of them, voting for much
more comprehensive measure in the di-
rection of enlarging the currency than
has ever yet been proposed. The seed
sown is bringing forth good fruit.
l write this entirely In confidence,
but meanwhileI hope you will strength
en- yourself and the good cause by Civ
ing to the readers of the Times the BEN
eft of frequent aud emphatic express
sions of your views. Truly yours,
?. 3, PLVMR.

John B. Henderson, for years the
leading republican of Missouri, has
this to say of the Harrison administra-
TONS dealing with Chill: Zone year
ago, when Italy demanded immediate
apology for the killing of her citizens
by the New Orleans mob, our secretary
said we would not be hurried or bullied
into an apology until the facts were
known. The deed is yet without apollo
gy, without indemnity and without
pledges for the future. Are we yet so
little advanced in christian practice
that we refuse unto others even so
much as we compel them to do unto
us? In seeming fear that the results
Of judicial trials in authorized courts
will be disappointing to our pride, we
rush to a mock trial at Vallejo, where
there IS no test of truth, no cross ex-
animation, no sanctions of an oath, no
rules of practice, no public fear or
danger of the penalties of perjury"

This winter furnishes its full share of pain
full accidents. On last Friday evening Mr.. f.
A. Beals, one of our Oldest settlers and best
known citizens, attended the celebration of the
anniversary of the admission of Kansas, held
at the school house. After the close Of the ex-
ercises, as Mr.. Beals was returning from the
school house. toward town, some rude and
careless boys, who were riding their horses at
apparently full speed, ran against Mr.. Beals
knocking him down and rendering him insen-
sible for some time. He did not recover con-
seriousness until after he was discovered and
carried into the hotel and comfortably provid-
ed for and restoratives administered. Mr.
Beals is 81 years of age but 1t is hoped that the
accident will not prove serious and that he is
recovering.

Much interest is manifested here in the hoped
for opening of the Strip to settlers, and the
present indications are that one-third or more
of our population will leave us as soon as that
Strip is open for settlement. Many are going
there in good faith, to get homes. with the in
tention of staying there and making their liv-
ing on the homestead they acquire from the
bounty of the government; but few others
are gong win view 70 speculate by taking
claims, and in six months commute. and then
return here and follow their present business
and sell their fraudulently acquired land in the
Strip as soon as they advantageously can.
Some, who have their lands here decided to
their wives, think they can leave their fami-
lies on their farms here, and go there them
selves and stay the six months until they &C
quire legal title to homestead, and then
-xr-t- M
who admit they have no Legal right to home-
stead land, but intend to go there and make
asettiement On a good quarter, and run the
risk of selling their pretended claims to some
honest homeseeker, at exorbitant prices. 1t is
hoped by all good men that all these cormor-
rants and false swearers who intend to &C
qulre TITLES and then return may utterly fail.

thorough study of it, the teacher and
school board may lie at loss to know
how to comply with the law in provid-
ing the instruction. We suggest that,
in such cases, the teacher give oral in
struction to the whole school in the ele-
ments of this science. A teacher who
prepares the lessons well can accom-
plish a good deal in the course of a
term by two Commute drills per week.
Any textbook on physiology can be
used as an aid in preparing for these
drills, but if the teacher wishes some
thing especially adapted to the purpose,
we recommend Kellogg's First Book in
Physiology and Hygiene, published by
Harper & Bros, New York, who will
send the book, postpaid, on receipt of
the price, 40 cents.

j. E. Hall, the rantankerous demo-
cratic editor of the Kiowa Journal,
a republican post Office sheet,
gives his party another taste
of ''pure Jeffersonian democracy as it
exists in Barber county. If "a democrat
endorses such sentiments, will some
body tell us where is the difference be-
tween the two old parties. The repub-
lican sheet with a democratic editor
says: 1.-The democratic party, today,
have absolutely nothing to stand on.
They have repeatedly tried in various
ways to crowd the free trade theory to
the front, and its great exponent and
champion has been shelved by the
Crisp man9uvres of those members of
that party who are opposed to the prin-
ciples of free exchange OF commOdi-
ties. r. Q. Mills stood at the head of
his party with Grover Cleveland at his
shoulders. They now lay side by side
as victims of the sOulless greed of those
ambitious partisans of the party who
ignore every principle long cherished
by its heretofore would-be leaders,
