salutation of the day.
The Christmas entertainments given
by the Nj. Il. and Lutheran churches
were largely attended and proved to be
very enjoyable affairs. The chief
attraction of the M. E. church was an
old fashioned fireplace covered with
beautiful presents and from which
Santa Claus emerged, to the great
delight of the children. Everyone was
kindly remembered with an appropri-
ate present. The Lutheran church
was tastefully decorated for the
occasion. a well ladened Christmas
tree was leading attraction. Every
one was made happy by being the re-
cipicnt of an appropriate gift. Much
praise is due the pastor, Rev. John
Born, for his untiring efforts for the
success of their Christmas festival.

Minister Montt, it is reported, has
been ordered by the Chilian govern
ment to apologize to this country Tor
killing several American sailors of the
Steamship Baltimore. OF course this
is nice way to settle the matter, but
this killing people and then apologize
ing for it doesn't seem like the proper
thing. If every nation which takes u
notion to get mad, is allowed to kill as
many of our marines us suits them,
how long will our little handful of navy
exist? Soon we will find our navy
wiped out and nothing but pile of
apologies left as reminder of it.

at the funeral of our late esteemed
citizen, Judge Cook took occasion to
refer to the Judges association with
the leading men and measures of our
country and times, and in that connec-
tion referred to the deceased as one of
equal mental and moral worth to the
country rs the Hon. John Sherman.
and in this connection he took occasion
to refer to the manner in which the
Toledo Blade had caricatured the
Senator, and denounced the course of
the paper ms being scandalous and
snch as to make it unworthy place in
the household. Had the editor of the
Blade been permitted to hear the rev.

on earth quite mean enough in which
he could hide his head. We feel that
Rev. Adams never gave utterance to
more truthful and pertinent words
than those used on this occasion.

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1892-08-06

The farmers of western Kansas seem
to have been ''worked" to the extent of
several thousand dollars this summer by
the rain making dodge. The scheme of
the pretended rain makers is simply and
highly profitable. They agree at several
places to bring rain within a certain
period; no rain no pay. The cost of their
operations is insignificant amounting to a
few cents for harmless chemicals and
small salaries to cheap employees. A
months work in dozen counties costs
perhaps q couple of hundred dollars.
The silly incantations amount to nothing,
but over wide area covered by these
operators rain is certain to fall at one or
more points two or three times month
at q profit to the operator of from $500
to $500 for each rainfall. On the doctrine
of chances, which is the only scientific
basis of the business, the profits reach a
very pretty figure for seasons work and
the deluded farmers pay the charges.
The late rain was general not only in
Kansas but in Nebraska and Missouri as
well. It brought an enormous profit to
the rain makers in this state and Nebraska
and repaid them handsomely for all the
failures of the last year. No doubt dupes
will multiply as result of the alleged
success of the experiments this week
and the rainmakers will make an excel
lent livelihood off the credulity of the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1892-08-06
$500 at Miltonvale.

The rain makers at Miltonvale got their
$500 Thursday. There were four of
them, wise looking silent men, all at a
certain hour two of them went into a
vacant house on the prairie. The other
two went to a point about eight miles
distant and took up position. Those in
the house closed the doors to the large
number of farmers assembled and after
a little mysterious busting a thick
vapor was seen to issue from the Chin
ney of the house and shoot rapidly up
iuto the brazen atmosphere. Then where
it seemed to stop great white circle
formed. What the absent couple sent up
is not known. All watched with eager
interest for a while and soon q dark
cloud was seen approaching from the
southwest. The farmers shouted
with JOY and insisted
on presenting the great rain medicine
men with their $500. When it was sug-
gested that the rains might have been
coming before the experiment was tried,
the idea was hooted down and the men
were compelled to take their money and
were for time treated almost as demi-
gods, when the rain began to fall in tor
rents. No one III that country must say
that the rain makers are failure.

Strange Diet.

An eccentric old gentleman Of Los
Gatos, Cal, has originated new sys-
tenn of living which he. calls the Edenic
system. He eats nothing but raw
wheat, consuming about three-quarters
of pound day. Bread, butter, sugar,
meat, eggs and milk he regards as
poisonous. He eats only when he feels
hungry, and appears to thrive on his
strange diet. At forty, he says, he was
an old man, whereas now, though sixty,
he feels young. II can get along" he
adds, ION one or two cents q day, and
do good days work. Five cents
worth of rolled oats has lasted me
twenty-four hours while travelling. I
could not possibly eat more than ten
cents worth of wheat day, so you can
see how economical my system Is. :"
The old gentleman also has theory
about feeding horses. giving them only
one good meal day, just before bed
time. There is some doubt about the
old gentleman's system becoming popu-
lar.

Nervous exhaustion Il tho beaefting
illness Of very large per cent Of the
people Of the United States, . fact to
which our leading physicists sre pay
ing much attention just now. OF lats
years We hear much about this disorder.
It Is moro prevalent in the United
States than elsewhere. Indeed. says .
writer In Youths Companion. Beard
about twenty-five years ago called It
the american disease" It is not only
. product of civilization. but Of civiliza-
ton run mad-crazed by its everlasting
rush. DR.. Edward Cowles, chief Of the
Mclean asylum. Somerville, Mass, and
DIR. George F. Jelly, formerly Of the
same institution. have brought their
large experience and signal ability to
bear on the study of this disease.
All intelligent persons are familiar
with the fact that the body is in per
petual state Of assimilation and elimi-
INSTRUMENTATION and waste. The two
processes balance each other In q
healthy and normal physical condition.
Unless the waste product is regularly
carried off, the system is poisoned by
its accumulation. It is this self
poisoning which brings on the fatal re-
suit in Bright's desease and diabetes:
The ultimate nutrients of the body,
whether of the muscles. membranes.
nerve or cerebral substance, are
the cells. These cells select the
appropriate nourishment from the
blood, assimilate 1t, and throw
off the debris-the poisonous waste,
always fatal if unduly retained.
Now no other organ is 50 con-
stantly in action as the nervous
system. It is never fully at rest, day
or night. The cells of every tissue must
be kept necessarily at work. Every
thought, feeling, purpose, volition,
every excitement of pleasure, pain or
passion, all concentration of mind In
study, business or care, uses up brain
substance, and transforms it into waste
product. In normal mental action this
waste is taken care Of and duly elm
mated; but in prolonged excessive men
tai activity the waste accumulates, and,
according to DR.. Cowles, acts as q
poison to the nerves themselves, inter
fering with their normal action. An
early result is simple fatigue Of the
brain, which rest may soon relieve; at a
later stage, the overactivityl being
longer continued, there is excessive ir-
'ritability and weakness of the nervous
system. The tendency is always toward
grave mental disease, often merging
into insanity. Among the physical
signs are tremor of the face, tongue
and hands; but the earliest and most
important signs are mental symptoms
melancholy and mental depression.
The disease, to be easily arrested,
should be treated early.
