-"Uncle Billy" Cowden, of Downs,
and w L. Palmer, of Ogallah, were in
Wa-Keeney Saturday and made this
office pleasant and financial visit
They departed Monday for Downs, where
Mr.. Palmer and family will make their
future home. Mr. Palmer was on8 of
our oldest settlers and has many friends
in the county who regret very much to
see him leave. The WORLD and their
many friends wish them success in their
new home.
Had Jerry Simpson not lied about
the Indebtedness of Kansas. it is alto
gether probable that Western Kansas
might have had a big benefit from the
appropriation recently made by Con-
gress for irrigating purposes. But the
calamity wall had gone up, the populist
lie had found listener and we are LETT
out. Let those who claim that popu-
lism is not hurting the state offer what
apologies they may, the fact remains
potent that the only reason our region
was not included in the appropriation
was due to the misrepresentation and
inability of our populist representatives
in Congress.

Where were the populist congress-
men from Kansas when the appropria-
tion for irrigating experiments was
made? 1t looks queer that only Brod-
erick and Curtis appear in behalf of the
state while Baker, representing the very
region to be benefited by tests OF irriga-
ton, made no effort in behalf of his con-
stituency.
When Smith county gets the loan of
the two twenty pound cannon that
Baker has requested the Secretary OF
War to lend, and all the populists get
those winchesters they have been trad
ing COWS for loaded, then both hot winds
and billiards. would better steer clear OF
Kansas. The elements might just as
well succumb for in the face of such
ornaments they stand no show at all.
The La Cygne Journal quotes the
following clipping regarding the recent
strike from the Star of Bethlehem, pub
lished at Leeds, England. 1t says:
"a big revolution is now going on in
the United States OF America, and there
is little doubt that the government will
be defeated The dictator, Debs. has
been driven from his palace and he and
his ministers are hiding III the noun
tains. The greatest trouble has been
experienced in the capital of Chicago,
where Grover Cleveland, the ringleader
of the rebels, has obtained complete con-
troll The railroad track at that place
has been torn up and thrown into the
Mississippi river, a stream considerably
longer than the Severn; and the stock
yards, where the government palaces are
situated, have been RACED to the ground
The trouble was started by man named
Pullman, who has a stronghold in the
mountains of Illinois, one of the most
considerable provinces of the country. ,

Dol of Joy. We may not have much of

quickly that others at the hotel who had
bad colds followed his example and hall

in their thanks to Mr., Kahler for telling
them how to cure bad cold so quickly

AN ELEcTRic GAR YARN.

How a CompIacent Citizen Had His Quiet
Joke on the Fresh Conductor.
The platform of the electric car was
pretty well taken up by the driver, a
man of the ''slugger" variety and big
bag, over which the man of the ''slug-
ger'' type appeared to be standing
guard When the conductor came to
collect the fares he looked sharply at
the bag, and then said to the tough:
"'Tn have ter charge yer fer that
bag"
"I'n bet yer WON'T" answered the
man, looking argrily at him, as if any
attempt at collection would produce a
prize fight.
Eyes, will; an if. yer don't pay, I'll
put ther bag off. See?' said the con-
ductor, shortly. He gave the man five
minutes more, asked him a second and
third time, then stopped the car and
put the bag off on the sidewalk. The
''slugger" didn't even move, and when
the car had gone about mile further
the conductor said to him:
Eyer don't care much fer that bag il
you wouldn't pay five cents fer it,
s'Ah, come off, was the reply.

who are puny, pale, weak, or scrof-
ulous, ought to take DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. That
builds up both flesh and strength.
For this, and for purifying the
blood, there's nothing in all medi-
cine that can equal the Discovery"
In, recovering from Grippe" or
in convalescence from pneumonia,
fevers, or other wasting diseases, it
speedily and surely inVigorates and
builds up the whole system. AS an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets
at work all the processes of diges-
ton and nutrition, rouses every or
gan into natural action, and brings
back health and strength.
For all diseases caused by a torpid
liver or impure blood, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, Scrofulous, Skin and
Scalp diseases even Consumption
(or Lung -scrofula) in its earlier
stages = the " Discovery" is the
only guaranteed remedy. If it
doesn't benefit or cure, in every
case, you have your money back.

A Busy Household.

Busy-handed must have been the
women-follz of century and half
ago. 1t is recorded that one family in
Newport, r. l., made in the space of
eighteen months four hundred and
eighty-seven yards of cloth-carding.
spinning, dyeing and weaving every
inch of material used, and also accom-
plished the knitting of thirty-six pairs
of stoclzings-not the thin, delicate
and often himsy hosiery seen nova
days, but such as would bear much
heavy use and even be ''handed down
to posterity." 1t is added that another
Newport family distinguished them
selves by making, in the space of four
years, nine hundred and eighty yards
of wooden cloth, two coverlets, two
