How many remedies there are which merely relieve without uprooting dis ease. The contrast with sterling medi- cines which such palliatives afford, not only enhances the dignity of the former, but serves to emphasize the folly of em- ploying halfway measures when thor ough ones are available. A marked in- stance of this is the effect, on the one hand, of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases of chllls and fever and bilious re- mttent, and on the other of ordinary remedies in maladies of this type. By the Btters, malarial complaint in every stage, and of the most malignant type, are completely conquered and lose their hold upon the system. They are rarely, if ever. dislodged by the ordinary re- sources of medicine, although their symptoms may unquestionably be miti- gated through such means. The same holds good of indigestion, biliousness, kidney complaint, rheumatism, nervous
 ness and debility. By the Bitters they are cured when many remedies fail.

THE ROBBERY ROOKERY,

Notwithstanding the occasional double
loaded Mysteries of the Wichita EAGLE
and the Lawrence Journal, there are ex-
cellent reasons for believing that Kan
sas City and Kansas will continue upon
the best OF terms.-kansas City Jour
nal.
There never was time when the city
sharp and the country greenhorn were
not on good terms, that Is SO long as the
greenhorn had anything that the sharp
wanted. Kansas City has only begun
her work of bleeding Kansas. And It is
probable that Kansas will have more
blood than even the rapacious Kansas
City will be able to assimIlate. The
Kansas suckers love to be swindled and
robbed, and there is no one IL sight that
can do it to the queens taste as can Kan
sas City. Let the robbery go on.-Law-
renee Journai.

quoted, in response to some taffy from

An English Clergyman Who Protested
Against n Remarkable Name.
Sometimes in English country par
ishes, where the clergyman has been
accustomed to have his own way, he
protests vigorously if the name pro-
posed for child about to be christened
does not suit him. Occasionally, how
ever, he does SO upon false premises.

Pleasing Story of Celebrated French
Sportsman.
The author of Modern Hunting" in
La Nouvelle Revue, tells pleasing
story of one of the oldest and most cell
ebrated sportsmen of France, Prince
de Joinville. The prince is perhaps
the ''senior member of hunting soci-
ETY. in this country. He was hunting
in the Chantilly forest, as the guest of
Due d'Aumale.
His party met another party which
was following deer in the same for
est, and some disorder resulted. The
prince lost track of the animal that he
was following, but he took the disap-
pointment philosophically, and set out
to find the deer again.
On the way he was stopped by an old
white-haired peasant, who told him
that the deer he was following had
passed by there recently. The son of
Louis Philippe asked some simple
question, but as the old peasant replied
he looked at him keenly, seeming to
pay more attention to him than to his
words. Suddenly he stopped him.
wait! it seems to me that / know
you, friend!' he exclaimed.
Eyes. SIR" replied the peasant, in his
old, cracked voice, which shook with
emotion. ooh, yes, we have often
eaten cakes at 'Auntie Adelaide's.'"
1t was sixty years since they had
been children together, but the varied
experiences of that time had not made
the prince forget his old playmate and
servitor. and he delayed his quest for
the lost deer to renew the acquaint-

SHE IS NOT TAXED.

III woman can be taxed. why not allow
her the privilege of yoting?-Quenemo
Republican.
There would be just as much logic in
saying if a woman can be taxed why not
allow her the privilege of being man
and making fool of herself. 1t may be
that woman can be taxed, but we
never heard of woman being taxed.
In this country men are taxed as indi-
viduaIs. 1t is called poll tax. Butail
taxes other than this male or poll tax
are levied on property, and the property
pays them without reference to owner
ship, it making no difference whether
the owner is male or female, infant or
insane, domestic angel or foreign devil.
Much of the property which pays taxes
in Kansas is owned by individuals who
were never III the state. The largest
half of the taxes collected by many
COMMITTEES in Kansas are on railroads, the
ownership of which is lodged in men
and women who never saw America.
Property pays taxes without reference
to the sex or whereabouts of owners, or
indeed whether they be living or dead.

that the south has been put forward as a
