Quick est and Cheapest Way of Get.
ting Rid of a Horse Nowadays.

Quick est and Cheapest Way of Get
ting Rid of n Horse Nowadays.
The low price of horses was forcibly
illustrated few days ago. W. w. Mills,
one of Topeka's we'll known merchants,
concluded last summer that horseback
riding would do him good, and in June
he bought fine animal and paid $3.50
for him.
When Mr.. Mills came to ride the horse
he found that while he looked we'll, his
gait was something terrible" and after
he had ridden him once or twice he con
cluded that he preferred some other
kind of exercise.
The horse was left at livery stable.
and few days ago the stable keeper ap-
preached Mr.. Mills and asked pay for
the feed bill The merchant said that
he wanted to sell the horse and asked
the horseman what he would give for
him.
81 will take the horse for the feed
bill" said the stable man.
HE is yours" said ME- Mills, and he
received receipted feed bill, satisfied
that he had escaped SO easily. Similar
instances have occurred q number of
times at the livery stables this fall.

SHERIFF WILKINS FREED.
Years of Slavery and How
He Escaped.
Talks About His DeEiverer Daily ia
Gratitusfe-GRins Fifteen POun dis n
Weight Since His Rescue.

URBANA. Ohio. Dec. 27.-[Special.] J.
This town is greatly exercised over the
remarkable rescue of Sheriff r. ?.
Wilkins from one of the worst forms of
slavery known to man. He has now
fully recovered from the results of his
experience. and talks freely and CRATE
fully of his deliverer. In an interview
today he said: Il have been a perfect
slave to tobacco for over twenty five
years; I smoked from twelve. to fifteen
cigars a day. November 4th. last,
bought my first box of No-To-Bac from
Anderson & Cramer. l had little faith,
and to my great surprise, after using
part of the third box, | was completely
cured and did not have the least desire
for tobacco. Today / feel better, / sleep
better, think better and l have gained
fifteen pounds in weight. and there is
not day passes that l do not recommend
No To- BAG 10 many of the tobacco users
who 1 know are destroying their lives
and vitality by the use of the weed"
Further investigation revealed the
facts that there are 500 people living in
this town and the surrounding country
who have been cured by No To -Bac.
Anderson 81 Cramer stated thay they
were the first to start the good work
here, as MIR. Anderson termed it. "Yes
we introduced No To- BAG into this town
about three Yeas ago. The demand
at the start was very light,
the folks had no faith in
it, but we sold to few people, and to
our great astonishment every one re-
ported cure. Since that time we have
sold hundreds of boxes, and every one
under guarantee to cure or refund the
money, and strange as it may seem, we
have never had call to refund money"
NoIo- BAG not only relieves the ner
vous irritation and makes the use of to-
bacco entirely unnecessary, but at the
same time builds up and fortities the
general physical condition. As a nat
ural invigorator and stimulant we be-
lieve there is no preparation in America
TO equal it
"The public should be warned, how
ever, against the purchase of any of the
many limitations on the market. as the
success of No To- bac has brought forth q
host of counterfeiters and imitators. The
genuine No To- 2ac is made by the Ster-
ling Remedy Co, Chicago. Montreal and
New York, and is sold under a guaran-
tee to cure by all druggists, and every
tablet has the word No To- BAG plainly
STAMPED thereon"

Report on City Funds.

The report of the condition of city
funds in the county treasury has been
filed with the ways and means commit
fee of the city council The examina-
ton made covered but one year, 1889,
and it shows that the city received all
the money from taxes to which it was
entitled. Many of the penalties were
charged up during other years. and this
caused the apparent discrepancy in the
accounts. 1t is now thought that the &C
counts of the county with the city are
practically correct.

have examples Of people who pray
standing, sitting anu kueellng. The
lesson we shoulu learn from these ex-
amples is, that We can pray 10 God al
all times and in any position. We la
turally prefer to kneel, because it
seems most fitting, aud we have the
example OF our Lord, VINO knelt; but
there may be times and places where
we cannot kneel. There are no times
and no places where we calnot pray,

The Prices Ask Ell.

The directors of the recently organized COZ
ion mill company feel grateful to some indi'
viduals for the reasonable prices asked lot

in a meiority Of instances the prices nave
been high-in some instances they have oeeo
very high.
Those landowners who may expect lhe oi'
rectors TO give exorbiant prices from the
hard earned money of the stockholders Will
be disappointed.
The fact is, portion OF the community are'
from patriotic motives. trying to raise money
with which TO build factory, while sohe
landowners have asked very high prices for
land that Ill be worth very little, If the fac
tory is not built.
1t is not yet decided on which road the fac'
tory will be built. Options have been received
from landowners along the line Of both roads
AS it matters little on which road the mil'
ia built, it might be well for others who nave
land 10 spare, and who are not desirouS OF re-
celving a high price for the same, to send ID
their Offers.
The directors want all the options sent IN as
early as possible.
Those who may wish to sell might DO wei
to give this matter their attention. They
have possible buyer In sight.
The directors, however, will not pay fancy
prices for lands.
They have some very fair offers, but they
