NOTICE.

To all charitable people of Bedding
and vicinity. In the midst of plenty
there Is want and suffering. At the
present time there are good many
cases OF typhoid fever in the city.
Some whole families are down with the
fever and are necessarily reduced to
want and suffering. So many such
cases are being helped by the city, that
the city poor fund is running low. The
city has established ware room and
all charitable people having cast off
clothing, potatoes, pork, beans, Hour,
wood or anything that will relieve
want aud suffering, are requested to
bring or send some TO poor commission
er Mitchell, and he will see that they
are properly taken care OF and given
where most needed. In behalf OF the
city and suffering families | extend
thanks in advance. w. +. BRICKER,
Mavor.

The Belding Fire Department have
out announcement cards for their third
annual dance which will occur Wednes-
day evening, Nov. 9th, at the opera
house. These annual parties given by
the tiremen are always looked Harvard
to as one of the popular social events
OF the city and attract large crowds,
many of whom go who do not dance,
but are there to lend aid and encourage

''Old Farmer Hopkins" said to be
one of the brightest rural dramas ever
written, will be produced at the opera
house, Nov 20, by the we'll known
comedian, Frank 5. Davidson, and an
excellent company. Special scenery,
mechanical effects, specialties of high
order, all go to make "Old Farmer
Hopkins" the great success it un-
doubtedly is. 1t is as pure as breath
Of mountain air. Not single
objectional feature can be found
throughout the performance. Here is
"a play to which you can take your
mother, or your sweetheart, with the as
surance that they will thoroughly en-

entertainment will occur on the stage
in the opera house, not on the street
No band, no parade, no disgusting side
walk demonstration, to induce the
public to patronize performance too
weak to attract by its own merits, but
a first class entertainment, well worth
seeing.

MIR, LAWS LECTURE.

The lecture given by Mrs. Law at
the Congregational church, Monday
evening, in the cause of the w. G. Il.
U. was very good. Mrs. u. Gooding
opened the program by reading Psalm
49, after which the M. Il. choir sang,
followed by Mrs. Law with a solo and
prayer by Rev. Munger.
Mrs. Law proved herself to be thor
oughly acquainted with the work of the
W. G. T. U. in all its departments and
many left the church with broader
and more kindly feeling toward the
organization. She said that because
some striking results were not seen
Eight along, many think it is no good
and ought to be stopped, but no more
ought this to be done than that a
church ought to be closed because con-
versions were not more frequent. Ii
only one soul were saved in two years,
il would be worth all the money ex-
pended and all efforts put forth in that
time. Grand things have been accom-
plished during the past twenty-one
years No organization has called
forth so much blame and hate from its
opponents or been so much loved by its
friends as the W. G.. T u. 1t is work
ing in all its departments at the funda-
mental principles; it is trying to edu-
cate this generation in such way that
the next will be naturally purer and
better: it has placed in our schools the
proper course of study along the line
of intemperance; it has brought into
existence the Loyal Temperance Le-
gon, in which there are 100000 boys
and girls who are pledged not TO use
liquors, tobacco or profanity. 1t has
also department which cares for the
fallen sisters, providing good homes
and honest employment for them and
doing all in its power TO make good
useful women of them. Many of the
points of the work were touched upon,
giving an insight into the motives and
and the field of labor, and the sacri-
fees made by some OF the workers,
which shows us that the organization
is not made up Of women alone, who
are anxious to regulate the ballot box,
but noble souls to whom the word
''home" is more than a sound She
believes the only remedy for the great
evil of intemperance is to have a pro-
hibition law passed, placed upon the
statute books of our country and en-
forced by the right kind OF men.

KANSAS RAILROADING.

A special meeting of the stockholders
Of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas was
held in Parsons to pass upon the plan
of constructing two small pieces of rail
way essential to the general system.
One is spur OF sixteen miles to coal
mines in southeastern Kansas, owned by
the company, which will save $4,000 a
year on coal supply. The second piece
will establish connections between St.
Louis and Kansas City, rendering avail
able for an entirely new traffic 300 miles
OF existing lines owned by the company.
Topeka Capital: Engineer Charles
Umpleby, who was killed in the Santa
Fe head end collision in Dead Mans
Cut, near Seward, Oklahoma, began his
career as a railroad man in Topeka, his
mother now residing at sos Jefferson
street. The deceased was about 20 years
of age and leaves three small children,
his wife having died eighteen months
since. The remains we're brought tc
Topeka by committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, of which
he was a member. The funeral was held
from the residence of his mother.

Wheat has been damaged in places, but

Topeka Mail: Within radius of three
miles from Menoken there is doubtless
more corn than at any other similar To-
calitv in Kansas. Some Of it is of the
crop of 1898 and it is in the hands of
farmers who are abundantly able to hold
it. A. B. Gordon has fully 5000 bush
els, 5000 of which is in the crib at the
station. Jacob Roller has 5000 bushels;
on the Pence bottom place there are B.
900 bushels; B. B. Niles has $500 bush

place Elmer Witter has 1000 bushels;
T. Gordan 1000 bushels; Jacob Rush

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and trul:-
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid.
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
