A Very Valuable Me ilein..

There is no medicine so often
needed in every home and so ad-
mirably adapted to the purposes
for which it is intended, as Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. Hardlya week
passes but some member of the
family has need of il. A toothache
or headache may be cured by il, a
touch of rheumatism or neuralgia
quoted, the severe pain of a burn
or scald promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
a sprain may be promptly treated
before the inflammation sets in,
which insures a cuie in about one
third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention before the paris
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. a sore throat may be cured
before il becomes serious, u lame
back relieved aud several days of
valuable time saved. or pain in the

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27.
Cherokee County. Politics, Etc.

Following is an article from the
pen of Ex-Governor Samuel ]. Craw-
ford, who has made and is yet max
ing large Investments in this vi
entity:
OAKLAND FARM, Oct. %, 1894.
EDITORS NEWS: After travelling
somewhat extensively over the state
l have reached the conclusion that
the natural advantages and re-
sources of Cherokee county are III,
equal, if not the superior, of those
of any other county in Kansas.
The climate is mild in winter and
pleasant in summer; the soil is rich
and produces in abundance the ar
ticles essential to happiness and
prosperity. AS stock growing
county Cherokee is unsurpassed.
Many streams, including the Neo-
sho and Spring rivers. course their
way through this county. while or
chards and vineyards are visible on
every hand. In addition to these a
large part of the county is underlaid
with inexhaustible deposits of coal,
lead and zinc. At these mines
many people are supplied with Ia
Dor, and many farmers with mar
ket for their products. The market,
however, ut this time, is not what it
used to be. Quite a change has
taken place. Labor, lead and zinc
have been reduced ore half in price
and farm products still more. AT
the time the miners of Galena and
Weir City were receiving two dol
lars per day, they lived decently
and paid fair price for vegetables,
chickens, butter and eggs, but now.
since their wages have been reduc-
ed, they are compelled to econo-
mize and buy scantily, at the lowest
possible prices. Mr.. Editor, what is
the cause of all this? Why has the
D ice of labor, lead. zinc and farm
products been reduced TO one-half
of that paid few years ago! Our
Populist friends claim that the two
old parties are responsible. The
Democratic party claims that the
Republican and Populist parties
are responsible. The Republican
party lays the responsibility at the
door of the Democrats and Pops.
Now, while a great political battle
between saints AMI sinners is pro-
crossing, let those who are most in
terested in the result ascertain, If
possible, where the responsibility
belongs and then, at the election in
November, apply the remedy.
a protective tariff, in my opinion,
Is the key TO the situation. As COM
pared with this all other questions
vanish like dew before the morning
sun. As proof of this I need only
refer to prices from 1865 to 1855, dur
ing which time the Republican par
fyrconfroIied the government and
maintained an uninterrupted high!
protective tariff. During this peri
Cd Of Republican supremacy and
protection innuncrnble manufac-
turing enterprises were established

EDUCATIONAL,

EDUCATIONAL.
The first month of our normal
and business college has made a
proud record.
We exansined lie several depart.
ments last week and found Prof.
Browning with the Greek, the Latin,
chemistry, with his improvised lab
Oratory, and anatomy-he Is athome
In all of these departments.
We think we are safe when we say
there Is no man in Cherokee county
who comprehends more fully the
special needs of our teachers and
schools than Professor Bowman.
His long experience in Kansas and
his early training in a state that
could develop Lincoln and a
Grant has familiarized him with
every grade of work from the rural
district to the high school and the
Illinois state university. No person
who contemplates following the
profession of teaching can do bet
ter than place himself under Prof.
Bowman's thoroughly practical in
structiOn.
We found Prof. Fox's department
full. Every young man or woman
before entering upon the varied and
complex duties of life should take
a business course. Young married
men and women can do this IA il il
n short course and familiarizes them
with. all business forms and tran
sactiOns.
The department of modern Ian
guagcs and literature has found Il
person well equipped for the field.
Prof. Rowell first graduated at the
Illinois state university n: Bloom
ington, one of the very best in the
United States. He then went 10 the
Michigan university and graduated
in the classical department. Then
to prepare himself for his special
profession he went To Germany and
spent two years in one of her most
noted universities. While in Ger
many, he has Travelled all over Eu-
rope aud familiarized himself with
most all of the European Ian
guages. Such a teacher is great
prize for Baxter Springs. For 70
years I have been anxious to study
the German language under spe-
cial teacher and this is my first OPP
portunity. We are never too old 10
learn and shall not miss this OPP
portunity.
The conservatory of music has
found u very popular lady for that
department who is full Ct energy
and will strive 10 build up that de-
partmcnt.
The art department is presided
over by the queen of teachers.
There is no one in Southern Kansas
who has taught as many pupils in
art as Mrs Lyman. She has aver
aged five pupils to any other teach

nicious Is the Populist howl In
favor of the unlimited free
coinage of silver. About $iDIO00,OO0
worth of silver ore is taken out of
the mines of all the silver produc.
ing countries annually. OF this the
United States produces one-half
and Mexico and South America the
greater part of the other half. A
Mexican silver dollar is worth less
than sixty cents of our money, but
call il sixty. Boss Shepard has a
mine in Mexico which produces
1,OOOOO0 Mexican silver dollars annu-
ally, worth just S6O0OO. With un.
limited free coinage of silver in the
United States, Mr.. Shepard could
ship his million Mexican dollars
worth only $GO0lOO0 of our money!
to the mint at New Orleans and
have them coined free into mil
lion American dollars. These he
could exchange for gold and take
back with him net profit of four
hundred thousand dollars. Or he
might buy million dollars worth
of American flour, corn, oats, cat
tie, horses, mules and machinery
and pay for the things purchased
with the proceeds of his own prod
uct of silver which was worth to
him just six hundred thousand dol
lars. If Shepard could do this,
other silver men in Mexico and
other foreign countries could and
would do the same. The Republi-
can party favors the free coinage of
American silver because silver min
ing is the leading industry of six
states and three territories. We ia
vor it because il gives employment
to large number of our own peo-
pie, who in turn use and consume
vast quantities of American prod.
ucts. We favor it because we be.
lievc the growth of the country and
the increase of business demand

to the extent of fifty millions annu.
ally. But we do not believe in
throwing the doors of our nints
open to the outside world and coin
ing their silver free at our expense
and for their benefit. Other gov
crnnen,s and the people of other
countries look out for themselves
and their own interests. and il is our
duty To look out for ours. The Re-
publican party stands for the best
interests of this county. The Re
publican ticket 10 be voted for ear y
next month is composed of honest,
competent men, who, If elected, will
discharge their duties with courage
and fidelity. Ii is To be hoped that
the good people of Cherokee county
will consider their own best inter.
ests. and that all qualified voters
will on election day go to the polls
and vote the straight Republican
ticket. BY so doing they will have
better homes, better farms. better
crops, better prices and brighter
prospect for the future. The Pops
are well meaning people, but they
are all wrong. They are cranky.
cross and sour. Most of them have
talked politics aud built govern
ments until their houses are leak
ing. their fences down. their gates
ajar and their fields growing up

of them will they employ. They /
