A buggy drove up in front of the of
flce, and some Of the men nudged one
another. It was the sheriff who alight-
ed, followed bv Col. Rand. Behind
them came another, and deputy OF
two in the saddle. D troop, standing
at ease along the gallery in front of the
administration building and from there
to the walk leading to the gate, ex-
changed remarks in an undertone as to
arrival, but no one within the building
apparently took notice thereof A long
hall ran through the building from
east to west The men entered the
room by the door at the east end. and,
receiving their pay, passed out through
the other, and SO to the rear of the
porch. The paymaster and his clerk
sat facing the door at the eastward end
of the big room, with their backs to
note of party passing around
on that side of the building.
Several officers, clerks, etc, were
grouped about the room west
of the pay-table, and these were
presently reinforced by the new ar
rivals Rand entering, followed by the
sheriff and others, but signaling to the
officers who greeted him to make no
unnecessary to-do, By this time Nor
gan had read down among the names
of his corporals. Rand, quietly suppress
ing the greetings accorded him, made
it known that he wished to listen a
moment. Corporal Treacy had just
picked up his money, faced to his left,
and made room for the next man.
Corporal Hugo V. Schramm,n called
the captain, and, straight as an arrow,

led the clear-cut face an instant with
his steely blue eyes, then as quickly
dropped them. Graves, too, looked up
in mingled interest and embarrass-
ment. Here stood the soldier virtually
branded by him and his as a robber,
yet pronounced by officers and COM
rades a hero. Graves felt that his first
impulse was to hold forth his hand, but
it occurred to him that that would
hardly be in accordance with military
propriety and etiquette. 81 should
like to see You, corporal, after we fin
lsh," said he, in most conciliatory
tone. Schramm thrust his money into
the left-hand palm of his glove saluted
precisely, end, merely saying "Yes,
sir" strobe away to the west door, but
there his name was called in low tone
and he halted. An officer beckoned to
him to wait, and, wondering not lit
tie, he stopped, then turned to vacant
corner behind Rand.
Rapidly the list was finished, the last
man paid. The paymaster stretched
his arms and legs and looked around
for some one to suggest an adjourn
Eent to the clubroom, and the first
thing he saw was Rand, with the sher-

To realms of rest, disturbed by none,

The Ways and Means Committee VIII Con-

of the ways and means committee, to
whom the presidents bond message
was referred. viii call the committee
together at 10 a. m. Saturday to con-
slider the recommendation of the presi-
dent regarding the issue of gold bond.
Which he says can be foated at per
cent. if authority be given him to issue
such class of bond within the next
ten days
Mr.. Springer. of Illinois, expressed
his edifcation with the message
Mr.. Cox. of Tennessee, who is a free
silver man and pronounced advocate
of a state bank system. opposes the
presidents recommendation, and in
this opposition presumably reflects
the sentiment of the silver men
generally, although Mr.. Hall, OF
Missouri, who is also favorable
to the free coinage of silver,
admitted that a bill reported from the
ways and means committee, embody-
ing recommendation of the president.
even in the matter of paying bonds in
gold, would carry a certain prestige
which an independent measure would
not enjoy. He would not, however,
express an opinion as to the degree of
success such measure would meet in
the house.

Among all the nerves that make up
the human body, the nerves have
been until recently the least under
stood.
The role of the nerves in the diges-
tion and assimilation of food is a
highly important one. The question
whether the food shall noursh or be-
come mere load upon the system is
question of nerve force.
Neglect to satisfy the demand:
made by the nervous system carries
heavy penalties When this nervous
force is exhausted the digestive pro
cesses are INSTRUCTED, the body i:
weakened and pains of neuralgia, in
digestion, rheumatism, invade iL
parts. During repose the nerves anc
great nerve centers feed upon the
nutritive material that is stored in
the blood and tissues. 1t is when
this supply of nourishment is prompt
and abundant that the nervous sys'
tenn is able to recuperate, but wher
the system has become too tired to ap
propriate sufficient nourishment anC
the nerves too shaky to get the rest
they need, that best of all blood puri
fiers, nerve foods, and nerve regula
tors, Paine's celery compound, should
be given at once.
Paine's celery compound has
brought health, strength and freedom
from nervous weakness to thousands
of tired women, 'run down" men, an6
sickly children. 1t makes them able
to sleep soundly, to digest their fooo
perfectly, and to win back health and
strength. The tired brain and nerves
are rebuilt and their wasted parts re

paired during sleep, and Were ner-
vousness, irritability and inadequate
nutrition of the nerve cent? rs do not
permit sufficient sleep, nervous pros
tration, lassitude and dependency
are sure to follow.
Paine's celery compound guards
against all this by promptly feeding
the exhausted nerves and making
the blood pure, abundant and nourish-
ing. 1t cures neuralgia, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, all forms of nervous weak
ness, dependency, skin diseases, and
objections of the heart, liver, and kid:
neys. 1t sends pure, vitalized blood
| to every organ, and thus makes peO-
pie we'll. Paine's celery compound
has found it's way originally through
prescriptions by physicians, into every
city and the smallest village in the
country!
1t would be very difficult to find a
man or woman of aG1ature age who
has not either been helped by this re.
markable remedy or has heard of it's
marvellous properties at frst-hand
from some enthusiastic friend or re.
| lative.
Paine's celery compound is the
only great popular remedy that physi-
clans of every school prescribe for dis
orders of the blood and nerves.
Says Mrs. Kate Manuel, 2164 Sd ave-,
Minneapolis, whose picture is above:
81 have been grately benefited by
! Paine's celery compound. l have
taken six bottles of the wonderful
remedy, and recommend it to all who
are afflicted as | was. For years
have suffered from indigestion, and
know not how to give due thanks for
the relief that | have received when
taking Paine's celery compound. My
SOn-in-law has taken two bottles for a
similar trouble and it has made him
well.

A Fraud Exposed.

Geo. May, of Mcpherson township,
is standing horse named Gedeon as
a PercherOn Norman, and his regis
tered numbers as 1869 (518). The facts
of the case are that there is no horse
by the name of Gedeon in the Per-
cheron Norman Stud Book, and that
the number 1869 belongs to a horse
named Franconi, and was bought by
Friedrich Settle & Co., of Shelbina,
Missouri, in 1886. The number (518)
belongs to a black horse named Far
din, and was owned by Lockwood,
Smith & Co., of Auburn, Indiana.
Honesty and fair dealing is the best
policy, as man makes himself liable
for damages for Misrepresentation
We expose this fraud for the benefit
of the breeders and horse owners of
the county.
