HOW To PREVENT GROUP.

Some reading that will prove inter-
esting 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 and treatment is
the object of this item. The origin of
Group Is a common. cold. Children
who are subject - it take cold very
easily and Group IS almost sure to fol-
low. The first symptom is. hoarse-
ness; this is sooa followed by pecul-
lar rough cough, which is easily rec
oghized and will never be forgotten by
one who has heard it. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain cough rem.
edy is freely given all tendency to
Group will soon disappear. Even after
the croupy cough has developed it will
prevent the attack. There is no. dan.
ger in giving this remedy for it con
tains nothing Injurious. For sale b,

The Fire-guard Law.

EDITOR GRAPHIC: While no one
WHO has ever witnessed the devastating
results of n general prairie fire, should
Object to any proper measures of pro
lection in this direction, yet we find a
strong sentiment all over the south
side Of the county against the present
law. And it cannot be denied that in
some points it is unjust, and bears
plainly the ear marks of it's origin
the money power. Now we do not
wish to become ."klckers.' us we are
sometimes accused OF being, and real
izing that we have no right to cry
unjust, or find fault with the eX-
Istlng order Of things, unless we can
offer some better way, we beg leave to
suggest the following changes III the
law
First. Compel every OWNER OF oc-
cupant to burn a fre-gard along the
section lines of the premises occupied,
of proper width, before the first of Oc-
tObef Of each year.
I'd. Where title is held by non
residents, let the road overseer of the
road district in which the premises are
situated be ''compelled' to burn guards
before the first day of October of each
Lot l.,I, l,6, ia fD, Ia,
a tax OH such premises, sufficient to
meet the expense of such labor.
Sd. Let it be made the duty of the
cOnstables of any township, in which
any ''wild'' prairie fire is started, to
go at once to the place of starting (Of
any ''wild'' fire) and if possible ascer-
tain who is the 'sstarter,h and forth
with to arrest any guilty or suspicious
persons, that they may be tired aud if
found guilty, may be dealt with ac-
cocding to law.
The present ''guards'' are too far
apart-a destructive fire might exist
between them. The settlers of the
county are every year enhancing the
value OF nonresident lands, and it is
unfair to compel them to even help
bear the burden of protecting such
lands against the ravages of fire.
This would give us better hre pro-
lection, at less cost to the residents of
right to he considered in this matter.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GRAPHIC:
Dear Sir--Being . public officer 1 con-
slider it my duty to call your attention
to section No. 3Gl5 of the general
1889 statutes of Kansas. which reads
as follows: (SO15) In counties of GER
tain population.
3 13 The county clerks of the sew
eral counties of this state, havinga a
population not exceeding five thou
sand, shall be paid as full compensa-
tion for their services, such annual
salary as the board &c county commis-
sioners of their respective counties
shall allow: Provided, that in conn-
ties having a population of over two
thousand and not exceeding five thou
sand. the maximum salary so allowed
shall not exceed ons thousand dollars
per annum, and the minimum salary
so allowed shall not be less than four
hundred dollars per anuuu: and that
i'll counties having a population If
two thousand or under, the salary so
allowed shall not exceed seven hun
dred dollars per annum. and the mill
imnm salary so allowed shall not I've
less than four hundred dollars per an
mum.
l wish to say that what is true of
the powers conferred by the statutes
OF the state of Kansas upon the board
of county commissioners, in regard to
the Salary of county clerk, is equally
true as regards the salary of county
treasurer, us you will see by reading
section 1924 general statutes of the
state of Kansas, 1889.
Edwards county shows a population
OF 3,2Ol. 1t is my opinion that onr
officers should use this law and cut
down these salaries consistent with
the times and population.
Your obedient servant and well
wisher for Edwards county,
JOHN e. WIRE.

EDITOR GRAPHIC: Dear SiI-A
"trip is to most people Il very ordi-
nary affair, and of little real interest,
but one will see some things which
may be of benefit if not interest. l
have noticed that the enormous crops
of corn and wheat, which we were
told covered every portion of Kansas,
except Edwards county, amounted 10
from to 10 bushels of wheat per
acre and 20 bushels of cora per acre.
Why it IS SO stated by interested par
ties you can guess. but why Mr.. Co.
burn, our state board of agriculture,
should try to depress our prices is all
enigma hard to solve.
After leaving the Arkansas valley 1
saw no land ill bodies that was good
for farms, the people making hay
chiefly, and in few cases fair orchards
helped 10 exc out good living. but in
no part Of my travels of over 700
miles have l seen any as good land AS
in our own section. One more thing
noticed, while at the coal mires.
Farmers come 10 the mines and buy
the finest of coal in lots to suit them
selves, at 4 and cents per bushel, or
81. 90 to S1.35 per ton. The query at
once occurs, who gets the remaining
S4.D0 of what we pay at home? and
why?
Through all my course have talked
with no one man who argues against
pop theories; they are pops by nature.
But by their old prejudices they are
Reps OF Dems and cast their ballots
that way more or less straight. Ii that
cursed tight-bOund hide could he slit
so as to let light in, we would carry
congress next year.
Horses and cattle are on the
upward tendency all through Missouri
and Arkansas. Horses have raised in
price about $40 or Sl5, while cattle
have gone up about S5. Missouri in
its southern part has no bodies of
good land and all of the country is
shut out from the world by most in.
accessible, rocky roads. l might say
of Arkansas that, though very fine
land is found, it is closed to the WORLD
by swamps. which are impossible 4

voting. All other questions are to be
tried before the court for contestinp
elections or in quo ,cdrranto proceed
ings.
1t is easy enough to bolster up case
by partial and misleading quotations,
but it Is not the way to treat the pub
llc in newspaper. The popuIists of
this county believe that great wrong
has been committed, but whatever
steps are taken proper regard for
the law will be observed. Anarchy
means without regard to law, and that
is Republicanism and not Populism.
1t hardly seeRs proper for the Reps to
try to make 1t appear that tally sheet
had been tampered with by the pops.
as that same document was very much
in Republican hands and very little in
the hands of Populists.
The Mercury says they offered to
count the votes of the county. Now,
that is just what the did not do; they
offered to count Brown township. not
the county. The pop party may be
dead, but the horn has blown for the
resurrection. Watch the results.

1t is announced that eX-President
Benjamin Harrison is engaged in
writing a series of magazine articles
for The Ladies' Home Journal, in
which periodical they Will begin in the
December number. The series will
be called ''This Country Of Ours, and
will consist of ten articles and proba-
bly, more. The papers are being writ
ten by General Harrison especially for
women, to meet a growing, widespread
desire on their part to intelligently
understand the workings of our Gov
ernment and the great National ques-
tioDs. 1t will be the aim of the arti-
cles to explain in the clear and COLI
else style for which the ex-President
is famous, just what the United States
Government means; the origin and
meaning of the Constitution; how
laws are enacted and enfOrced: what
the powers of the President and .otheI
officials are; what the Judiciary system
means; how our foreign relations are
brought about and their meaning

The administration is making it
plain that it proposes 10 make an ag-
gressive fight upon the Democl ats
who favor silver. The latest step in
that line is the order that ex-Speaker
Crisp shall be punished for his recent
declaration in favor of silver by being
deprived oe the empty honor of the
minority nomination for the speaker
of the house, if the administration can
control a majority of the house demo-
cratic caucus which will make the
nomination. That will not be an easy
task. Custom, which counts for
much, particularly with old members,
would give the Democratic nomina-
tiOns for all the house offices to those
who held them in the last congress.
Mr.. Crisp has warm personal friends
who will be disposed to support him,
although not in sympathy with his
financial opinions, regardless OF the
wishes of the administration. 1t is
not the nomination for speaker, which
amounts to nothing, that the admin
istration wishes to deprive Mr.. Crisp
of, but the leadership of the Demo-
Gratis in the house which is conferred
by that nomination, and which on the
eve of a presidential election may be
made to amount to much. Secretary
Carlisle sounded the keynote of the
administration campaign against sill
Yer when he SAID in his New York
speech Tuesday evening. II think
the abandonment OF suspension of the
aggressive movement against this
financial heresy would be most unwise
at this time, especially in view of the
fact that concerted effort is evident
ly now being made in the south and
west to regain the ground lost during
the last six moDths.'' The populists
are especially pleased with the admin
istratlOns aggressiveness against sill
yer; it will drive the silver men out
of the Democratic ranks into the pop
ulist ranks.
