Careless Prescriptions.

A prescription written by a well
known physician of New York re-
Gently, says the New York Tribune.
gave the following directions: First
day take three pills at intervals of an
hour; second day take two pills at
intervals of an hour: third day take
one and then stop" This is certainly
obscure. and as a matter of fact the
wording Of the prescription came near
causing serious trouble. The direc-
ton for the third day would be likely,
of course, to make anyone pause to
consider what was meant by the whole
but, if that last direction had not
been given it would have been easy for
some people to interpret the directions
as take three pills every hour during
the first day, and two pills every
hour during the second day" What
was meant, of course, was that three
pills were to be taken on the first
day. one pill at time with an hour
between every pill. two pills on the
second day, one at time, with an
hour between each, and one pill only
on the third day. But there certainly
was danger in the directions to people
who were either not quick to grasp a
point or were careless in following
the whole meaning. Suppose, for in
stance. some one had undertaken to
read the directions on the installment
plan. SO to speak-that is, suppose he
had thought Sufficient to the day is
the evil thereof" and had considered
that it would be time enough to study
the directions for the second day when
the second day came. Then he might
have taken three pills every hour for
twenty-four hours, and the coroner
could have done tho rest. But to be
serious, it Is desired here to impress
upon physicians that no room should
be left for doubt as to their meaning,
and upon those who read the direc-
tions of physicians prescriptions that
they should read the whole carefully,
and then hesitate if they IRE in doubt.

A TRAMP proclamation lately issued
by Gov. Lewclling, of Kansas, pro-
cecdcd from the soft spot of personal
experience in that executive, for IN an
interview he says: ~ know what it is
myself to tramp the streets of @ city
seeking employment and attempting
in some way to earn an honest living.
In 1865 tramped up and down the
streets of Chicago trying to get work.
I was penniless and hungry and was
subject to arrest, but was q criminal
and ought to have been placed upon
the rock pile simply because I was I'M
able to obtain work, when l was
willing and anxious to do anything
that would enable me to earn an hon
est living?"

Mrs. LEASE opened her campaign
against Governor Lewelling and the
present state administration, at Leaven-
worth, last Friday night. Her address
consisted, of glittering generalities and
without making any specific charges.
She said the time for that had not yet
come but intimated that she had many
naughty things to tell of our governor.
Che said: "Never in the history OF
Kansas has crime, lust and Doodle stood
forth so boldly as now under the present
state administration" She denied that
she had ever Endorsed the DunsmOre
house and said it was organized by
those who wanted to ruin the party.
She contemplates making canvas OF
the state before the next state ticket is
nominated. At the conclusion of Mrs.
Leases address, Cyrus Corning, editor
of the Populist, took the floor and made
bitter attack on the state administra-
ton. He charged Governor Lewelling
with all manner of wrong and cor
ruption.

1T is always an interesting study to
watch the conduct in New York of
Philadelphians, Bostonians and Balti-
moreans who rarely visit the town.
The freshly-caught Bostonian tends to
display himself in conversation when
visiting New York, the Philadelphia
to discuss pedigrees, the Baltimorean
to fall into hundred provincialisms
by taking his own city too seriously.
No one OF them quite fathoms the
large tolerance of New York, its in
difference to petty social conventions,
its readiness to accept a man for what
he is and to value him for his genuine
personal distinction.

IT Is a significant fact that at the
trial of bigamy case at Toronto re-
Gently an eminent judge pronounced
the opinion that an American divorce
is not binding in Canada, and cannot
be accepted by the courts as dissolving
the marriage tie. The looseness of
our divorce laws is doubtless the rea-
son why they are not respected by the
local authorities of other countries.

THE longer a carpet is used In the
eoiners' department of the United
States mint the more it is worth.
Wear and tear do not diminish It's
value. Recently thick wooden carpet

seven years was taken up and Gre
mated. The ashes were gathered to-

THERE is sure to be music in the air.
Mrs. Lease and Mr.. Lewelling will at
tract more attention than did COrbett
and Mitchell. Mrs. Lease has, appar-
emily, anticipated what Mr.. Lewelling
might say and, therefore, denies in adj
vance the story that connects her name
with Gen. Viewers. This looks like a
guilty conscience troubling the old lady,
but nobody will ever believe that story,
no difference how strongly it may be
fortified by affidavits. No, we don't be-
lieve that, but anything else that either
of them may say about the other. will
be implicitly relied upon. Populist
leaders do, sometimes, tell the truth
and, we are inclined to the belief that
this is one of the times.

LAST Monday, January 29th was the
thirty-third anniversary of the admis-
sion of Kansas as a state into the Union.
Only quarter of century old! Our
progress seems almost incredible and if
the veil of futurity might be lifted and
we permitted TO see Kansas rs it Will be a
third of a century hence, the change
would doubtless seem as marvellous as in
the past. Kansas is destined to be one
of the first states in the Union long be-
fore 1927.

THE Board of Regents of the Kansas
State Agricultural college took action on
Thursday last with reference to expert
ments under irrigation in the western
part of the state. For this purpose two
points are to be selected, one in Finney
county and one in Decatur county.
Regent Kelly, of Burlington, was APP
pointed to select the spot in Finney
county and Regent Street, of Oberlin,
will select the point in Decatur county.
A moderate appropriation from the
funds of the experiment station is set
apart for immediate beginning of opera
tions, and the station council will at
once perfect plans for the current year.
While no authority is granted to the
regents or council for establishing sta
tons other than the one already estab-
lshed by law at the college, asa depart
ment of the college, there is abundance
of reason for testing certain questions
In the western part of the state; and
the station at the college undertakes
these experiments in irrigation with the
expectations of securing the temporary
use of small bodies of land for the pur-
pose, by aid of the interested friends of
the undertaking, so that something may
be accomplished indicating a line of
profitable experiments, all of which will
be under the direction of the college
station. The public will be informed
from time to time of the progress made,
and bulletins will be issued as the re
suits warrant, in the regular order OF
station publications.-Capital.

THE WA-KERNEY WORLD of last week,
in noting the decision of Steve Osborn
not to run for judge this year, names
somebody in each of the counties of
that district, except Trego, who, in the
case of his election, would fill that Office
with ability. 1t occurs to us that either
S. r. Cowick; of the WORLD or John A.
Nelson, also of Wa-Kveney, should seek
this nomination. Either of them
would, with some experience, perform
the duties OF the Office with intelligence.
The point that we especially desired
TO make emphatic was, that with good
candidate, we could carry this judicial
district, regardless of fusion. We can
not speak with regard to Mr.. Nelson g
intentions, not having interviewed that
gentleman. As regards our nomination,
we had not thought of it and will not
even consider it. Judge of the district
court, aside from the salary, is an honor
worthy Of the best lawyerin the district.
The WORLD demands our undivided
attention and We will only be in politics
to help some worthy republican who
may have aspirations.

We understand that our friend, w.
S. Roark, has judicial bee buzzing in
his bonnet provided fusion can be accom-
plished. The Times has gone to consid-
cradle trouble to ascertain the standing
of this judicial district, as regards politics
and begs leave to report as follows !;
Republican strength, 2.O3S
Democratic strength, 1899
Populist strength, 791
The above figures are official, as fur
nished the Times by the county clerks
of the respective counties of the vote
polled at the recent election on the
Office of county clerk. Can Bro. Roark
figure out how he can possibly be elect
ed, fusion or no fusion? Indeed the
populist party is almost lost sight of,
polling only 79l votes. Then again, it
is not very likely that the democratic
party is going to indorse a populist for
judge when that party has 30S more
voters in the district than the populists.

G. S. TRIPLETT, for long time editor
and publisher of the Leoti Standard,
said Good Night" to his readers last
week. In his valedictory, he said ::
at will be surprising to many patrons
of this paper to learn that after more
than eight years hard struggling it has
become necessary for it to pass out of
the hands of its original owner and
founder. 1t is unnecessary to enter in
to detail as to the causes which have
brought it about. All who are CONVEX
SAINT with the situation of affairs in
western Kansas will readily account for
it. 1t is like parting with a best friend
to let it go, but it seems to be the only
"way out, " and the pain of parting is
only modified by the fact that for the
present, 1T least, we retain the editorial
management. In conclusion we would
say that while this paper, from the first,
has enjoyed the confidence and good
will of the people OF the town and
county, that paper cannot be run with
confidence and good will for it's capital.
1t must have more substantial patron
age, and We hope the community, and
especially the business part of it, may
realize this fact to the extent of giving
it better patronage in the future than
in the past few years"
We regret exceedingly to part COM
pany with Mr.. Triplett as the Standard,
under his management has always been
a valued exchange. The best wishes of
the WORLD will follow Mr.. Triplett
wherever he may go or in what business
he may engage, and we trust that Mr..
Taylor, the present publisher, may
keep the Standard up to its former
excellence.
