EVERYBODY knows that the sun

The man who knows that b scales

proof that God will give him that his
religion is not right
THE Lord has promised that out Of
every true believer there shall flow

"Why did ! discharge such an ex-
cellent workman" said well-known
civil engineer. "Well, [ will tell
YOU. ! discovered a short time ago
that he was keeping a p.ivate note
book, and after notifying him that
he must stop it and again learning
that he was continuing the practice
l was obliged to discharge him. A
surveyor in doing a piece Of work
makes minutes as he goes along of
the lines he runs, of the various
points marking the bounds of the
lands he is surveying and all such
data as is not only ne essary for the
drawing of his plans, but also incl
dentally that which may aid him in
the case of any other survey being
made later on. In fact, this data
really constitutes sort Of capital or
stock in trade, for if the party own
ing the land ever wishes another sur
vey of it for any purpose he will
naturally apply to that same surveyor,
who, having these old memoranda.
can do the work easier and more
cheaply than any other surveyor.
Oftentimes, after many years have
elapsed and old landmarks have
passed away those minutes become
very valuable. Consequently a civil
engineer always wishes to keep these
in his own hands, and men in his en-
pIoy are not allowed to make copies
of minutes of surveys which they
make while in his employ Other

setting up in business for himself,

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The Union Pacific is laying steel rails
between Morganville and Concordia on
its Junction City and Fort Kearney
branch.
Since the Northwestern road passed
into the hands Of the Missouri Pacific it
has been decided to run the trains of
that line into the Union depot over the
Missouri Pacific tracks, and it will begin
as soon as the spur track connecting the
roads is completed in Kansas City, Kas.
The shops Of the Northwestern com
pany, located at Second and Garfield
avenue, in Kansas City, Kas., are to be
abandoned and the machinery taken to
the Cypress yards shops Of the Missou-
ri Pacific at once, where all repairs will
hereafter be made. The force Of work

CATARRH IS SYSTEMATIC

In all cases. There is no such thing as local
catarrh. There is no such thing as catarrh
of the head only. or catarrh of the stomach
only, or catarrh of the throat only, or ca
tarrh of the bladder only, or catarrh OF any
other part or organ only. Catarrh IS system
attic first, last and all the time. Consump-
tion might as we'll be called local disease
because the lungs appear to be the parts
most affected. Catarrh in any case Is as
systematic as consumption. The whole sys-
5ern is contaminated with catarrh matter.
Every drop of blood in the BODY Is charged
with the poison. which is picked up from the
stomach by the blood and carried around IN
circulation after dropping down from the
head. Under these circumstances 1t would
epnear worse than nonsensical to expect to
cure your catarrh by poking, squirting,
shutting or intaling something or other up
your nose. If you ever get cured OF catarrh,
Il must be by an inward medicine that IS
competent to take all the poisonous catarrh
matter down and out of the system from The
inside. putting your whole system IN the
nroper condition and purifying the blood, so
that YOU are not catching colds to produce
catarrh or any other disease. What is the use
of throwing your money away or losing your
time. month after month or year after year,
when you can get cured of the most aggra-
waited case of catarrh of any KIND in one or
rvo weeks by using the Red Cross Constitu-
tional, the only medicine known at the pres
ent day that Is competent to cure catarrh IN
this tn proper and only way that 1t can oe
! cured. Cures guaranteed IN all cases. Nrlte

CAUSE--QUERY Y--EFFECT.

To the amazement of his crit
les, the delight of his opponents,
the horror of his admirers, Gov.
Pennoyer, the chief executive of
this state, iii his speech in this
city, enlarged On the idea that
society owes every man a living
hence, if one does not choose or
is unable to earn it, he is justi-
fed in the sight of God and man
in helping himself to it.
He pointed his moral and
adorned his tale with the Incl
dent of the robbery at Salem by
needy persons of what flour and
sugar they thought necessary for
their subsistence. This forcible
and felonious helping Of them
selves to their neighbours goods
Gov. Pennoyer was understood
to justify. So much for the
cause. The same night the show
case OF shoes which has stood
unharned outside Of Mr.. Dave
Twins shoe store in this city for
many weeks past, was broken in
to and several pairs of these nee
essaries of life, as doubtless the
governor would term them, were
forcibly annexed.
This particular instance turn
ed out to be a joke or guy" per
petrated on the worthy shoema-
ker. If it had been the robbery
it appeared to be the next day,
would it not have been carrying
out the governors teaching to its
legitimate conclusion?
