Tuesday, at 5 o'clock p. M, the free
distribution of Kinks "Rain Water
Maker at the Capital Office closed. and
although but three days have elapsed
since the first announcement appeared
in the daily papers people are already
both by letter and in person, congratu-
lating Mr. Kirk upon the results OBJ
tanned from using the preparation.
Is it any wonder that the public have
faith in a preparation that its owner has
sufficient confidence in to give out abso-
Iutely free, with the understanding that
the results in each case should be pub
lished broadcast? To be sure, the reputa-
ton of the old esta blished house of
James 8. Kirk g Co. is so well known
that any preparation bearing their stamp
is q sufficient guarantee to the public
that its merits are all that is claimed
for it.
Last evening a reporter called at the
ThrOop hotel, and in an interview with
Kinks representative, obtained the fol-
lowing information regarding the new
discovery that is creating such a sensa-
ton. In answer to a question Kirk
representative said: 'Yes, Mr.. Kirk is
aware that there have been, from time
to time, many preparations put upon the
market, claiming to do what Rain Water
Maker absolutely does do, viz: To soften
the hardest of water. making it soft and
velvety, but all have proved dismal fall
ures. Every ingredient in Kinks Rain
Water Maker is of absolutely harmless
nature"

drew, was charged with stealing a ladder
and paint brush from the home of Chief
Wilkerson, and selling them for sixty
cents Jordan derived his nickname
"Pie" from the fact that good many
years ago he ate % pies at an eating
contest, thereby winning the sweep
stakes. Jordan has face that appears
to have been made as a pie destroyer,
and he can still eat few dozen pies for
desert His case was continued.

MAY PLAT KEITH TRACT.
Report that the Ground VIII Be Laid
Out Similar to POtwin.

n report Cn0E the GrOund VIII BE Laid
Out Similar to POtwin.
1t has been reported that a syndicate
is about to purchase the Keith tract To-
Gated just east of Potwin and plat it in
the same manner in which Potwin is laid
out
No steps have yet been taken to form
such syndicate, but there has been
some talk with that end in view. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that any thing
will be done soon.
A w. Waters, civil engineer living
at SIS Lincoln street, was asked to make
an investigation with a@view to deter
mining the number of lots in the tract,
but he does not even know who is con-
templating making the improvement
He does not think that it will be done
this year.
The Keith tract contains seventy-eiRht
acres and is used principally as pas
ture. The base ball grounds are located
in one corner of the tract and that is the
only Improvement" on the property. 1t
extends north almost to the river an
the Rock Island has a right of way
through the lower part of it 1t is al
most level and would make a beautiful
residence euburb, being almost the high
est ground in the city.

A QUACK.
What Constitutes One,
Asks Prof. SamueIs.
A Few Thoughtful Words That
the Public Should Pause
and Consider.

Quackery is a term that has been ap-
piled SO often to doctors that it has be-
come a common word The question is,
"What is a quack?" A person who
makes his profession known through the
newspapers, or q person who tries to I'M
dertake to cure things that he does not
understand? Can not even a doctor with
a diploma be a quack if he does not un-
derstand the diseases he undertakes to
cure? Suppose q certain doctor has a
diploma, and moves in good society, but
who is ignorant of his profession and
does great harm to his patients and keeps
their money, is not he a quack?
Professor Samuels, who is at the Hotel
Throop curing SO many people of their
sore eyes without any pain, is recognized
as specialist of the highest standing.
A quack will try to cure everything
Professor Samuels has done but one
thing for over twenty-fi five years-attend
to the eyes only. He has learned by this
long experience that. if persons will at
tend to this organ early in life, they will
live longer and enjoy perfect health to
the end of their days
Professor Samuels cures nervous
troubles entirely through treatment of
the eyes.

exceedingly, and at its annual meetings
all the principal local press clubs of the
United States and Canada are repre-
sented. The objects of the league are to
stimulate the spirit of fraternity and to
promote the interests of newspaper work
ers everywhere. One of its immediate
objects is to establish a home for aged
and INDECENT journalists on Ramapo

poets ultimately to extend its influence
across the seas and hopes some, day to

BIDS MAY BE HIGHER.
Bidders for Finishing the State House
WOn't BE So Numerous.

Bidders for Finishing the State house
WOn't Be So Numerous.
Although the state executive council
has readvertised for bids for the compile
ton of the state house not single con-
tractor has filed bid. and it is doubtful
if there will be more than one or two
bidders this time.
Mayor Fellows, who was the lowest
total bidder before, said today that he
expected to file bid of some kind, but
is at loss how to bid. He says the price
of glass has gone up since he submitted
his other bid and that the glass manu-
facturers have notified him that they
can't furnish him glass at the figures
named before. As it will take about So, :
500 worth of glass; the bids will all most
likely be higher than they were before.
On Saturday afternoon at the Copeland
the state board of charities will open the
bids and let the contract for the construc-
ton of a tunnel 145 feet long to connect
the main building and the detached cot
tage known as the Knapp building of
the Osawatomie asylum.

of the local judges in this respect, be-
cause statistics were submitted to the
car, showing that in ten years 5000
persons, mostly guilty of thefts of prod
uce, had died after punishment with
the knout."
Granted the infection of the knout,
the 5000 deaths are easily believed; the
instrument itself (supposing this to be
true) evidently dies harder than its vic
Tins. But even in Russia. where the
rod and its equivalents have had a more
extended and bloody existence than in
any other European state, the humaner
spirit of the age has been felt, and one
is disposed to regard as exaggerated
the statements just quoted. Certainly
it had been generally supposed that the
knout was abolished for all but the
gravest offenses, so long ago as 1866
But Russia has never been governed
wholly by it's written laws, and there
are regions of that empire where ukase
may be slow to reach the local judges"

Kinks RAIN WATER MAKER
The Hany Purposes For Which 1t
Was Designed.

Mr.. Kirk and his representative are
frequently asked the question:
lis your rain water maker simply a
hard water softener?"
We answer emphatically "No" Kinks
new scientific discovery not only softens
instantly the hardest water. but is equal
ly valuable to rain or cistern water as it
renders all water soft and velvety.
Clothes washed in this preparation are
much sweeter and whittier and will hold
colors from running in printed goods;
prevents blueing from curdling in water;
prevents flannel from shrinking.
For bath or toilet it is indispensable.
Accelerating the action of soap, giving
the skin healthy glow and helping to
remove any superfluous excresions that
may adhere to the body.
For dishes and general washing pur-
poses it is very essential.
Kinks rain water maker is absolutely
harmless, and must not be COMPOUNDED
with soap powders, as it contains no
soap, lye, ammonia, borax. lime or any
deleterious ingredients, and saves 35 per
cent of soap and go per cent of labor.
Kinks rain water maker can be had of
all grocers; % cents for a two pound

You Can Have a Better System II You Will
Working people of America, the
question of whether you will always
be hirelings, wsge-slsves, out-of-
works, dependents upon somebody
being able and willing to employ
you, is for you to settle in the next
FIVE years, if it is to be one of peace.
After that time your ballot will no
longer be potent. Skillful msnipu-
lations of laws by your uncrowned
millionaire kings will settle that mat
ter to their satisfaction. The first
thing you will have to do is to learn
that a system of society is possible,
even with human nature as we now
have it, in which there would be no
poverty or crime. Until you get this
lesson, which your kingly masters and
their serVile supporters ridicule as a
fine-spun fairy tale, there is no hope
for you. The lesson is not hard; the
most ordinary mind can comprehend
it, 80 you need not become discour-
aged. When you get the principle Of
the system, yOu win know just how to
