Unexpected Attention.

A young man who was walking along
Dearborn street the other day stopped
in front of an engine house and looked
in.
"Have many fires in this town." he
inquired of n of the firemen standing
in the door.
"Wo have 'cm pretty often" replied
the other.
do you have to go to all of them?''
"No; not unless they're in our dis
trict. or unless there's a general alarm"
Ever try to see how quick you can
hitch up?"
"Oh, ycs!'
Glow quick can you do it?"
AT that instant there came an alarm.
AT the first stroke of the gong the men
ran to their posts, the doors of the stalls
opened, the horses run out and were
quickly hitched to tho hose cart, and
within Il few seconds men, horses and
cart were ont of the door and speeding
down the street.
The interested young man watched
the performance with u~ndisguised adj
miration.
"By gum" he exclaimed, CHATS

go to all that trouble to show a stranger

The Suspicious Litfgant.

In Judge Gibbons court the other day
an old farmer from Dekalb county was
tho defendant i'll a suit for a piece of
land, aud his lawyer, cX-Judge Jones,
had been making a strong fight for it.
When the plaintiffs attorney began his
argument, he said:
MAY it please tho court, I take the
ground''-
Tho old farmer jumped up and sang
out:
whats that? What's that?"
The judge called him down.
"May it please the court" began the
attorney, not noticing tho interruption,

"No, I'll be Id if you do, either -

SILVER CRAZE OVER.

We are told that the silver question
is settled, in other words that the gold
bug creditor is on top and that Ameri-
can prices which have fallen to the Eu-
ropean level must remain-the poor
continue poor and the rich, rich. Not
only do the goldbug organs so declare
but the politician points to the result
of the late elections and the salaried
statistician replies, yet, it is even SO.
In the meantime it might be well to
remember that Democracy was defeat
ed in every state where the platforms
called for the single gold standard, that
Mississippi Democracy, with Is to /
platform won and that Utah will send
two silver senators to Washington.
The truth is silver is not downed.
The lull is only in the seeming. The
masses are thinking, studying out the
cause OF their troubles. Among the
things which they have discovered is
that the hard times which this country
is experiencing is directly traceable to
the enormous debt which America
of American securities which are held
by foreign capitalists, and the interest
upon which is payable in gold. The
railway securities held by England and
Germany alone, which represents not
only the money that constructed thou
sands of miles of unproductive rail
ways, but which in amount are from
three to five times greater than the
first costs of these roads, if the country
is held to gold basis will beggar it.
No possible balance of trade in our
favor can equal this enormous drain.
1t is drain of gold. If gold is, then,
TO be the only money, America will
soon have none of it.
The question of free silver involves
the problem of the money volume OF
the country, which in turn involves
prices and conditions. So long as
present conditions exist 1t Will be i'm
possible to get this question of more
good money out of current public
thought. In spite of papers and poll
ticians it will have to be satisfactorily
taken care of.-Wichita Eagle.

OH, THAT way.

Since the general republican defeat
in this state at the polls. a few weeks
ago, it was largely matter of conject-
ure as to how the big guns on the re-.
publican side would account for 1t. For
awhile it was thought that they would
quietly submit to the facts and admit
that it was due wholly to populist
gains, but such action would be unre-
publican and a cause, false though it
be, must needs be given. Hence the
Topeka Capital, the standard republic
can authority in this state, ventured the
following miserable excuse:
Itis only In counties where fusion was work
ed that the republicans lost materially In last
Tuesdays elections. One year ago a straight
democratic ticket was in the field and the
pops were no where in the race. The returns
show populist & aims here and there this fall
but the gains represent democratic votes, and
there are as many counties where republican
gains are reported as populistic.
Anyone who has taken the time to
examine the returns of the different
counties of this state knows that the
above is absolutely false in its entirety.
Leaving the northeastern part of the
state, which never was controlled by
anything bnt republicans, out Of conGjd-
Grafton, the republicans got nothing
except what was given to them by the
democrats. Now let US see as to pop
ulist gains or losses, taking Shawnee
county, republican headquarters, for
example. In 1891 the populist party of
that county had .286 vote; in 1893, it
had $3.50 votes; in 1895 texcluding sher-
it'll it has l, $40 votes. Thus it will be
seen that in four years the peoples par
ty has gained 584 votes in Shawnee
! county; and In the two last years it has
gained 400 votes in the same county.
| Another notable example is Harper
county which elected the entire popu-
list ticket for the first time since the
opening of the Strip. In this connec-
ton we will add that while not having
democrat ticket in the field there was
an INDEPENDENT ex-pop candidate out
for sheriff. yet the peoples party candi-
date was triumphantly elected. In
Barber county the majority for the peo-
pies ticket was also increased. The
only counties in which the peoples par
ty was defeated were those where re-
publlcans and democrats fused and
there are few of these, this statement,
of course, is made in referring to coun-
ties which were formerly carried by
the populists. On the contrary, the
populists carried number Of counties.
| single handed, which never were con-
trolled by the peoples party before.
Anybody who will be fair and honest
enough to compare the populist vote of
the different counties of 1913 with the
same party's vote of '95, will find that
the peoples party has gained since the
opening of the Strip. The prospects
that the peoples party will carry Kan
sas next year are growing brighter each

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is common cold. Children who
are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlains's Cough Remedy is freely Civ
en- all tendency to Group will soon dis
appear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the at
tack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by j. r. Young

TRUTH AT A DISCOUNT.
[Daily Co-Operator.1


Congressman Chester 1. Long has
been interviewed IN Washington.
Among other probably as untruthful
statements. he says the populists in
Kansas are rapidly going to pieces.
They lost at the recent election, he
says, '75 county officers" Mr.. Long
no doubt considers it a part of his po-
litical duties to save as much as posi-.
bic of the truth. But it strikes the
serious mind that dignity is at a dis
count with the young upstairs who
break into congress on some corrupted
wave. Candor in speaking of a rival
party gives way to arrogant fippancy.
What fools these young men take their
hearers to be. But the serious feature
of such irresponsible utterance from
one who represents great state, is the
fact that those who vote for them real
~ expect it of them. and count it as
purely in line with official duty. Such
men, however, never become great.
They serve a temporary purpose for
some corrupt gang, then drop into the
obscurity prepared for common 0eet-
corner liars.

that Judge Maxwell, their candidate

papers to be found in this state that
have the nerve to tell why so many
counties are steadily increasing the
populist majoritles. They tell their
readers that it is because of the repub-
