KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

That Truce.

In an article in the Agora symposi-
um Anarchist c. G. Clemens gives Gov
ernor Lewelling great credit for his con-
duct during the war last winter, assert
ing that ''he himself proposed to those
in arms against him the truce which
saved Kansas from indelible disgrace"
State Senator Scott in his paper, the
lola Register, makes the following
statement concerning the truce:
'.He himself proposed the truce"
True, indeed, but why not tell the whole
truth? That truce was wrung from TIE
unwilling but cowed and terrified gov
ernor in the middle of the night! One
Man, without other suggestion than his
own wise head, and without other means
Of coercion than his own iron will, went
to Governor dwellings, room at one
o'clock the Thursday night of 'the
war;" called the governor from his bed,
and said to him in substance this:
Governor, the present tension cannot
last. Unless yov prevent it there VIII be
men killed here tomorrow. You will be
held responsible for the bloodshed and
your own life would not be worth
pins fee." It was cold, but the sweat
was standing in beads on the governors
forehead, and his voice was unsteady as
he said, ''but how can I prevent it. I
can't do anything" 'Yes you can, you
can sign this paper" and the Man hand
ed him the famous ''truce." "But I can't
sign that; it yields everything to the
republicans" "You must sign it." The
governor still protested. The Man was
memorable. After an hour the COVER
nor signed the paper and messenger
carried it to the republican house. That
is the true history of the truce which
''the governor himself proposed" It
was Man,-the time is not yet ripe to
give his name-a and not l. d. LEVEL
ling, who saved Kansas from indelible
disprace"

Kansas CuckOOs.
Chicago journal.

Chicago Journal.
It is evident from their action in
erasing the names of their predecessors
from place of honor in the state build
ing that the populist worlds fair conf
missioners belong to the family cuculi-
doe, and of the genus cuculus ca1Orats
of that family. This bird of historical
and surerstitious notoriety is renowned
for it's predatory habits. 1T is noto-
rious," says a high authority, 'for its
parasitism, having the habit common to
many birds of the family of depositing
it's eggs in the nests of other birds,
chiefly smaller than itself, and causing
it's young to be reared by the foster
parents condition generally entail
ing the destruction of their own prog
eny." The American, or tree cuckoos,
do not belong to this parasitic class, but
build their own nests and hatch out
their own eggs, as every self-respecting
bird should.
The Kansas populist commissioners
do not belong to the American genus.
They have developed all the traits that
have made tie traditional cuckoo infa-
NOUS. They are of that cuckoo tribe
which Shakespeare tells US "builds not
for himself"
The story Of the Kansas cuckoos is
briefly told. In the session of the Kan
sas legislature two years ago, bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the represent
alton of the state at the Worlds Colum-
bian exposition was passed by the re-
publican senate It went to the house,
in which the populists had demagosic
majority, and was there incontinently
strangled. Philosophical citizens OF
Kansas, under authority from repub
lican governor, took up the matter and
raised the fund for state representation
by private subscription. Naturally a
republican commission was appointed to
administer the citizens fund. This it
did, and when the Kansas building was
completed the commissioners names
were inscribed on panel in its corri-
dor. But along came cuckoo election
in Kansas resulting in the selection OF
a populist cuckoo, named Lewelling, as
governor. One of his first cuckoo acts
was to appoint a lot OF his fellow
cuckoos as state commissioners at the
worlds fair to play the cuckoo act OF
occupying the nest which others had
planned and built. In the course OF
nature the commissioners could not
permit the names of the real builders OF
the nest they were to occupy to remain
upon it's portals. And SO they were
erased, and when their own are inscribed
upon the panel erected and paid for by
the republicans of Kansas the story OF
the Kansas cuckoos will be complete.

THE LITTLE OLD STORE.

Oh, the little old store with the ball on ths
door,
That rang as you went out or in,
With ting-a-ling-ling, as it swung on the
spring
And deafened your ears with its dini
ooh, the little old store gave measure ana
more.
And everything smelled sweet Of spice;
Though twas dark, to say true, and nothing
was new,
Yet everything sold there was nice.
For a quaint little maid in muslin arrayed,
Would answer each ring from the door,
And smiles sweet and simple played tag with
the dimple
In the cheeks of the maid Of the store.
I used often to stop in the little old shop,
And sometimes for nothing at ALL
But TO just shake the spring. and to hear the
bell ring
For Nelly to answer its call.
Ali those times are ali Ger the little old .store
Has vanished with old-fashioned ways;
Till sometimes it seems as but one OF the
dreams
That we have of our boyhood days.
Though a faint. vague regret comes over me yet
AS think of those days, now no more.
In my heart would fain be glad lad again
And with Nell in the little old store.

Just Like Them.

We suspected democratic dirt in that
report about the Behring sea attaches
and expenses. In anything in which
the honor or interests of the United
States is concerned the democratic party
is always against it, and on the other
side. It was so with Chill, is so in re-
gard to the Sandwich Islands, and now
when the world is looking on at the ar
bitration Of great question affecting
the sovereign power of the seas under
the law of nations, these enemies of the
nation must try to hurt our case by at
lacking the official honor of our repre-
sentatives in that high tribunal.
No wonder Secretary Gresham has
teen forced to send dispatch disavow-
ing these 'mischievous publications" It
must have made his face flush with the
unchilled republican blood in his viens
to realize the company he is in. When
ever the good name Of America or her
interests can be affected, particularly
where Great Britain is party, the
party in power now can be depended
on to strike it. That is the naked truth.

A Girls Sweetheart.

To the girl who has a sweetheart
would say be as careful of your love
as if it were the most fragile china,
and do not let it by fret be nicked in
any way, for you want nothing less
than a perfect love, writes Ruth Ash
more in 'fSide Talks with Girls" in
the Ladies' Journal. This may be
yours if you will guard your love.
Your love may be as ideal rs you
please, and yet, because love itself is
above the mere things Of earth, it
can yet govern your life practically,
so that, for dear loves sake, the un-
kind word will not be spoken, and
the cruel thought will never enter
your heart. Sometimes for dear
loves sake, we suffer, but the love it,
self is so well worth having, that one
can endure the pain. To you and
your sweetheart / say be faithful, be
true, be loving, have agreat affection
for the friend, with great love that
goes to the sweetheart, and you will
attain that perfect union that on the
day when you two become one will
show itself in your lovers face, and
the lookers-on will know that ''the
heart of her husband doth safely

The "BOys" in tho Treasury.

A newspaper paragraph says that
Secretary Carlisle's advisers are all
young in years, and even younger in
appearance. First Assistant Hamlin
is SO and looks 80; Comptroller Eckles
is 81, smooth shaven and boyish,
and Mr.. Curtis, another assistant, is
only 80. The management of the
Treasury Department, as far as it
has gone, has amply shown that
there are a number Of inexperienced
boys at the helm, with a more or less
unsteady over captain. Secretary
Morton has attracted attention by
beating kitchen pans, and Secretary
Carlisle has attracted attention by
the incompetency, not of himself, for
he is an able man, but of his
assistants. Mr.. Eckles, against
whose confirmation many Of the
most able Democratic papers pro-
tested, has boasted that he knows
nothing about banking, but that he
can learn. His frankness is to be
placed to his credit, but the manage
ment Of national finances is too big a
school. There is too much at stake
there for boyish experiments to be
turned loose. A good place for boy
to begin is in some humble position
in a banking house, not at the top.
No banking, or any other business
house, would "-sploy a man because
he, at some time or other, made q
speech on the tariff which attra cted
attention. Other recommendations
are wanted.-Des Moines Register.

Befol e You CAN the Doctor.

Small particles Of dust, cinders, and
minute chips of metal frequently get
in the eye, with much resultant ir-
ritation and even Inflammation, if
not removed In a reasonable time.
What is at first a very loose.attach-
ment of such body soon becomes a
firm ENHANCEMENT by the vigorous
rubbing so often employed The
sense OF itching and irritation makes
it very hard to refrain from such
rubbing.
The child, however. should be told
to simply keep the affected eye closed,
when the free flow of tears called
forth by the irritant will safely wash
out the offending matter If this is
not effectual, grasp the upper lid by
the lashes and pull it well down over
the lower lid, allowing it to sweep
back over this part, thus cleansing it
out. Most foreign bodies get en-
tangled in the upper lid. so that this
proceeding is usually effectual, if such
body is not deeply and firmly at
tached.
If the body still remains, the lids
must be everted over a pencil, and all
parts. including the ball of the eye,
be carefully examined in a good light.
The disagreeable sensation may re-
main several hours or longer after the
body has been actually removed, from
the irritation already set up.
This can be palliated by freely
bathing the lids with very hot water.
holding a sponge so saturated over
the closed eye.
Little children not infrequentlY
place small objects, such as peas, shoe.
buttons, or beans, in the nose At
first they may be fairly well tolerated.;
but soon running at the nose and
other evidences of irritation will en-
sue, which will. OF course. not subside
as long as the Objectionable body re-
mains in place.
If the child IS old enough, direct
him to take a full breath through the
mouth, and then, closing the unaf-
fected nostril, breathe forcibly out
through the closed-up nostril. In
case this is not etfectual, the end of
a hairpin may be bent so as to form
a sort of snare, and efforts be made to
thus scoop out the body. A good
light will be required. 1t may help
to procure sneezing by tickling the
nostrils or giving a little snuff.
When a substance such as chicken
bone or fish bone gets stuck in the
throat, the results may be serious.
If the body remains in the throat or
food passage (9sOphagus), there will
be difficulty in swallowing, but no in
reference with breathing.
When, on the contrary, such body
is drawn into the windpipe Qarynx
and trachea), there will be constant
coughing and perhaps some difficulty
in breathing. but swallowing can be
accomplished without obstruction.
II the body is in sight upon open
ing the mouth, efforts may be made
to remove it with the fingers or for
ceps, if such an instrument be at
hand. Blunt-pointed scissors may do
good service here.
A sudden slap on the back may as
sist in ejecting the offending SUBJ

Exports of Farm Products.

Az editorial in the ST Louis Re.
public begins as follows:
The steady decline Of our exports
Of farm products Is telling the story
month by month of the Mckinley tar
IFS ruin Of the American farmer.
Though wheat is lower than ever be-
fore, foreigners cannot buy it because
they are not allowed to send US the
articles of universal necessity that
our people want, that the people of
Europe would be glad to give in ex-
change for our wheat, corn, beef,
pork and cotton"
This is the favorite theory of GER
tain rampant free trade organs. 1t
was always manifest:y absurd, but
never before perhaps so clearly so as
now. The NEST remarkable and
widely discussed feature of our COM
merce since the Mckinley tariff took
effect has been the enormous increase
in exports which occurred during the
first year and a. half of its existence.
While the increase may not have
been altogether due to that measure,
yet it annihilated the argument that
the new tariff was restricting sales to
foreigners.
Two indisputable facts from pres
ent conditions demonstrate the
falsity of the Republics statements.
First, foreigners were never before
sending us so many goods as now.
During the eight months ending with
asst February our imports were
nearly 800, OOO,OoO greater than in
the corresponding period Of the year
before, and more than 500, 900, 900
greater than the average Of the five
corresponding periods in preceding
years. Since February the increase
in imports has continued.
The second fact is that our exports
of farm. products have not fallen off
except as compared with the abnor-
NAL year of 1892. This will appear
in the following figures:

exports from that country to the United

the Mckinley tariff W II not be disputed.

The late legislature took action which
will effectually prevent the mortgage
of Kansas farms. That is supposed
to be a sop to the grangers, but
it will be bitter in their mouths when
they cast about to borrow money.
A law was enacted prohibiting the
making of contracts payable in gold,
and another allowing to borrowers
whose property has been sold under
the foreclosure proceedings, eighteen
months' time to redeem such property.

VALUE OF EXPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS.

Only in cotton has there been any
considerable decrease, and that is due
to the light crop Of last season. On
the other hand, the exports Of wheat
and flour were larger during the nine
months ending with March 81 than
in any other similar period in our
history except last year.
The Mckinley law has not re-
stricted exports by shutting out for
eign goods, because they are coming
into our market under it In larger
volume than ever before. And we
know that it does not curtail exports
Of farm products from the simple
fact that their volume is and has
been far above the average.-New
York Press,
