1t Is Rule or Ruin ,ciih the Ring.

The election though holly contested re-
suited in partial victory for the people
against the ring. Although we expected
a better result, We are greatly pleased to
see that the people are satisfied that Gar
field County, if it WAS to be represented,
that il was their duty to put into office a
man who is fully capable AMI will use his
efforts to work hard and faithfully for
everything that will accrue to the benefit
of our county.
Mr.. T. A. Milton, from the returns re-
ceived, is the choice of the people by a
very small majority. The talk of the
ring at headquarters at Eminence Is to
the effect that they intend contesting the
election.
T. A. Milton has honestly and fairly
received the majority of the votes cast,
of which the votes from the different pre-.
cincts which are sworn to will show. And
as it was matter of great surprise to the
ring they talk of contest, but in view OF
the fact that T. A. has had little expe-
rience in contests, been weighed II the
balance and not found wanting" such
reports do not give him any alarm. Mr..
Milton is an honest, conscientious gentle
man, and had he been defeated by one
vote we know he would have enough self
respect and manhood to submit to the
will of the people. We expect T. A. Mil
ton to make record in the legislature OF
this state that the people of Garfield
County will be proud of.-R@anha

Mr.. Milton is native of this county.
and is the present Prosecuting Attorney
of Garfield county. Kansas. If he be not
cheated out of his seat he will be one OF
the only two or three democrats IN the

There is an heirloom in the Oliver family
of Petersburg, Va, in the form of an in
fant's cap worn by General George Wash
ington when a baby. 1t is quite shabby
looking little article, and time-worn from
its extreme age. 1t was handed down by
the Olivers' paternal grandmother, whose
uncle married Miss Bette Washington, the
only sister of the famous general. 1t has
passed through many hands and has been
carefully preserved, with numerous other
relics of the great hero, in the possession of
the same family. So you see babies. even
in George Washington's time, wore caps.

Cures Others

Will cure You. is true statement of the
action OF AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood but, while this assertion is true Of
AYERS SarSaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try TO i'm
pose upon you, as 'just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only. if you need blood-puriier

This medicine. for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint Of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence OF the people.

doiDgs of electricity, and there is no doubt
that of all the forces of nature this is the
most capable of eccentric Manifestations
Maurice Despres, an electrical engineer of
Cordoba, describes fall Of electrified rain
drops which he witnessed last winter Early
in the evening, after a warm day, thunder
shower came up, and as the first drops fell
Mr.. Despres beard them crackle as they
neared the ground Then he noticed that
from the falling drops little sparks darted
toward the walls, the trees and the
ground as the drops approached them. The
phenomenon lasted only few seconds and
ceased as the rain became heavier.

1t is estimated by compe -ent authority
that ones chances Of being struck by light
ming in storm are one to ten thousand.-
This ought % be comfortable thing to
those who dwell in electric storm cen,ers-
The authority gives list of objects and
places 10 be avoided in thunderstorms,
which comprise trees, mlsts, high poles,
lofty buildings, spires and steeples, water,
stove pipes, bell wires, iron fences crowds
of people, droves of cattle or other animals,
umbrellas, walking sticks and other metal
ornaments worn upon the body. The con-
cluson to be drawn from this is that the
best thing to do in storm is to put on
your bathing suit and go out in a vacant
lot, though how one can even then avoid
water in storm, it is difficult to see
There is comfort in the thought however,
that nine persons ont of ten who are struck
by lightning are never aware OF The fact.
