Dead Men Tell No Tales.

SYLVAN GROVE, KANSAS, Nov. IL.
AT noon three men rode up to the
bank, two dismounted and entered
and the third stayed outside and
held the horses and guarded the
entrance. The cashier gave up all
the cash in sight but as the men
galloped away seized a gun and
wounded one of them. His two com.
panions, seeing he was too badly
hurt to escape, turned and shot him
dead, so he could tell no tales. They
are thought to belong to the Cook
gang.

". THE BLEssEDNEss OF HEAVENLY
RECOGNITION AND REUNION.
1t is utterly impossible for NOR
tals TO form an idea of that blessed
safe where this recognition and re-
union takes place. With all the
powers OF our minds we cannot give
the faintest description of that place
nor the character of the meeting and
mingling together of the inhabitants
of heaven. As well might we at
tempt to pluck the sun from the
heavens with our puny arm. 1t BAT.

| paralyzed in the attempt and drops
in impotency. Were it possible for
us TO be vouchsafed even a glimpse
into the celestial world, we could not
find words 10 describe it. A thcus-
and fold,-a million-fold more glor-
ious than the rising of the sun must
be the splendor of heavens light
that bursts upon the soul on enter
ing the golden gates of the New
Jerusalem. But the entering soul is
gifted from on high with correspond
ing capacities to meet the splendor
and regale itself in it.
o, the blessed hope of blissful
reunioni This hope lays gentle
hand upon the bleeding wounds of
sorrowing hearts, and infuses antici-
pations that will be realized by the
faithful and true. "He that goeh
forth and aoeepeth, bearing precious
seed, shall doubtless come again Nth

When beloved son, after long

unutterable joy do the hearts Of the
fond parents pulsate at their meet

th-obs the heart of the son when he
gets sight of the old homestead
and throws himself into the arms Of
his loving parents. So sweet, yea
thousand times sweeter will be the
meeting and reunion of dear ones in
heaven.
Blessed are those who by being
united to Christ, are striving for an
assured hope of an inheritance in

their loved ones whom death has

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with a breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. / concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTICURA, cake of CUTIoURA SOAP,
and bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT. Iwashed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to irrtate the flesh, and applied
CUTICURA. noticed a change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. gave the-child only few doses of
the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT. l consider your
CUTICURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand.

III. THE GROUND, OR, EVIDENCE UPON
WHICH THIS DOCTRINE RESTS.
1t may be urged by some that the
views thus far started are but pic
ture of the imagination, or the WIS.,
ion of beautiful dream, whereby we
flatter and deceive our inward long
lngs. Are these views good, relia-
BILE and tenable, upon which our
faith can rest securely? Yea, do
claim that we find sufficient grounds
for our belief in heavenly recogni-
ton and reunion. Even reasoning
by analogy We approach closely to
the proof of this blessed doctrine,
furnishing US strong presumptiye
and inferential deduction in that d.
rection. We draw strong iner-
ence from some of the divine attrib-
utes.
From the Potser, Wisdom,
Goodness and Justice of God.
No one will deny that He who
holds within his grasp both time and
eternity, is able and willing to bring
our dear ones together for recogni-
ton, heavenly reunion and compan-
ionship. He himself has implanted

Word to Camners.

A holiday under canvass can be made
a remarkably pleasant experience If
congenial spirits compose the party,
but there is a common mistake made
by too many of those who take to the
woods at time when fish are the only
lawful quarry. / refer to the practice
of taking guns and rifles to camp when
the law forbids the killing of any game.
There is no sense in carrying 4 weapon
which is not to be used, and 1 know
cases where the fact of one being with
man who meant no harm, but was
tempted by an unexpected chance at
unlawful game. Furthermore, country
people visiting camp and seeing gun or
rife included in the outfit are apt to
conclude that it is there for use. and
that the campers will have a quiet try
at whatever game appears. This idea
encourages the countryman to do a bit
of illegitimate killing himself when he
gets chance Gun and rifle are ex-
cellent in their proper place, but that
place Is not in a July camp. The usual
excuse offered for their presence is the
possibility of a shot at a bear or wild
cat That is all very fine. but the
''bears" and eats really killed have
always appeared to me to strangely re-
semble does and fawns. 1t is far better
to leave weapons at home than to run
the risk of being tempted to join ma
tive in that miserable business, float

DUTY AND TARIFF rAxArloN.
Conditions which Render Immediate Ao-
tion Necessary.


tion Necessary.
1t is true that ninety-nine per cent.
OF the democrats of the country prefer
the house tariff bill to that which
passed the senate, and it is not sur
prising that the preference is SO over
whelming. The house bill wasn't a
perfect measure, but it very closely
approached the lines which had been
laid down in the minds of the demo-
Gratis OF the country. 1t substituted in
nearly all cases ad valorem for specific
duties, which is in the interest of JUS
tice and reason, and in all material in
stances put raw materials on the free
list. in obedience to well-understood
democratic demand. Its only grave
fault was that it held out the menace
OF treasury deficiency, which, il re-
allied. would have been calamitous
The senate bill is much less perfect,
though in the taxation of sugar it
avoided the danger which lurked IN
the house measure. But it is safe to
say that that is the only point of i'm
provement- It is objectionable In that
it restores the odious and unjust spe-
cific system of duties. 1t violates the
democratic pledges in continuing the
tax on raw materials. It is offensive
in that it preserves the unjust and in
furious protective system. In fact, the
only thing that can be truthfully said
in its favor is that it is infinitely better
than the Mckinley bill. It's adoption
would repeal that agency of robbery
and destroyer of prosperity and save
the people of this country millions of
dollars in taxation.
These are the conditions that confront
the democratic congress and people.
In the face of them what is to be done?
There is no use in flying off on a tan
gent over it. Reason the question out.
Summon the arguments on both sides,
and weigh them. On one side it may
be said that the failure to legislate for
the relief of the people will forfeit
public confidence in the democratic
party. It will continue the needless
b lrdens which have exhausted their
resources, Frustrated their energies
and destroyed their prosperity. 1t
will put the democratic party ON the
defensive in the impending congress
sionai contest, and defensive fight Is
losing battle. Moreover, it will JUS
tify the accusation that the democratic
party is incapable of governing the
country.

President Cleveland has said it all. and
said it well. 1t is simply that the SEN
ate bill fails to fulfill the obligations
of the democratic party, and that the
failure is SO emphatic and inexcusable
that it amounts to betrayal of faith.
That is a serious objection, and one
which should bring upon the heads of
those responsible for it the most severe
execration. But, after all, if the con-
dition is choice between the senate
bill and the Mckinley bill, the senate
bill should be passed, and that accom-
plisbed. every agency of Furnishing the
recreants should be invoked. The in
terests of the people are entitled to
consideration first. After that matters
of politics will be in order.-Kansas

Japan has vast commercial interests

its fnanciers conduct the royal mint at

When the Toxic government requested
China to impose fiscal reforms upon the
Coreans and to assist in the correction
of political abuses, the authorities at
Pelkin turned a deaf ear to the appeal.
Then Japan concluded to undertake
the necessary reforms without assist
ance, and restored order in the capital
