THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Politics make queer bedfellows.
Such has been the case in this
county, but such is not the case
now. Each political party rs travel
ing it's own rocky road to Jordan"
There was a time wnen the Popu-
list party was in the ascendancy in
this county, but time works changes
and this fall Populists are very
scarce.
True. with the help of the Demo-
Gratis, the Populists could pull their
candidates through, but the Demo-
Gratis have quit training with the
Populists and have put up good
strong ticket of their own, and are
going to support il. The only way
the Popuiists can do any good this
fall will be to vote with the Demo
Gratis and thus pay back what they
borrowed two and three years ago.
If they don't do this the chances
are they will not be able TO elect a
single man on their ticket; and once
beaten, as they surely will be If they
don't do something, Populism will
be dead duck in Cherokee county,
Nobody would be very badly sur
prised If the Democrats should cap
ture a couple of the Offices and the
Democrats the balance. But it is
dollars to doughnuts that the Pop
uiists don't get a smell. Mark our
s,radirfion

There is one medicine which
every family should be provided
with. We refer to Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. When il is kept at
hand the severe burn of pain or
scald may be 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 Inflammation sets in,
which insures cure in about one
third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive
immediate attention. before the
parts become swollen, and when
Chamberlain Pain Balm is applied
il will heal them without matter
being formed and without leaving
scar. A sore throat may be cured
in one night. A piece of flannel
dampened with this liniment and
bound on over the seat of pain will
cure lame back or pain in the side
or chest in twenty-four hours. 1t
is the most valuable, however, for
rheumatism. Persons afflicted with
this disease will be delighted with
the prompt relief from pain which II
affords, and ii can be depended on
to effect a complete cure. For sale

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.

Thieves entered the barn of DIR. A,
o. Blair at Pittsburg, Kansas, last
Thursday night and stole both OF
of his horses. They also stole two
brides and two saddles from the
stable of L. G. Bishop. n neighbor.
As soon as the loss of the horses
was discovered the police of the
surrounding towns were notified,
but the thief was discovered by ac-
cident Monday near Rickner's ford
on Shoal creek southwest of Galenn.
a little negro boy was passing
through the woods near the Rick
ner farm and discovered the two
horses tied in the thick brush and n
big rough looking individual lying
near them asleep. He was scared
by the fierce appearance of the man
and ran to Galena and informed
Marshal Rains of his discovery.
Officer Milford Parker, armed with
a shotgun started for Rickner's at
once and on arriving there told Mr..
Rickner what he was after and the
old man got his Winchester and the
two men started for the thicket
They approached the spot where
the horse thief was concealed so
cautiously that he did not suspect
their presence, and creeping upon
their hands and knees they got
close enough to see his every move
ment. They intended to watch him
until Marshal Rains arrived with a
warrant, but he suddenly woke up
and going up to one of the horses
which had cast shoe, picked up it's
foot and looked at it and then made
a move as il he was going to saddle
up. This was too much for old man
Rickner to stand, so drawing an el.
egant bead on the "rustler' he
yelled "throw up your hands," The
fellow gave jump of surprise, but
complied with the order, and while
Rickner kept him covered Parker
went up to him and disarmed him

hind him and put him on one of the
horses and took him back to Galena
A reward of 500 was offered for
the capture of the thief and the re.
turn of the horses, aud the little
black detective who made the dis
covery is certainly entitled to part
of it.-Joplin Herald.
