THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English Scientist,
Considered the Best Start in Life

The great English scientist, Huxley.
said the best start in life is sound stom-
ach. Weak stomachs fail to digest food
properly, because they lack the proper
quantity Of digestive acids Qactic and n.y.
drochloric) and peptogenic products; the
most sensible remedy in all cases of sndi-
gestion, is to take after each meal, one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they supply in pleasant, harmless
form all the clements that weak stomachs
lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets win cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested-
Nearly all druggists sell Stdart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents full size pack

Railroading in Mexico.

Herington Times: Our friend Chris
Hodson has just returned from Old
Mexico where he has been railroading
for several years. 1t is real picnic
to hear him tell about the Mexican
country and the poems who work
there on farms from daylight till dark
for from twelve to fifteen cents a day
and board themselves.
Also of the way the common people
and even the "upper crust" live,
move and have their being. Much
Of the time Mr.. Hodson got as high
as seven dollars day and yet there
wasn't much left at the end Of a
month-that is il he undertook to live
any where near as well as railroaders
are living in this country every day
Of their lives.

CREAMERY LEADER.
President Hoffman Of the State Dairy
Association.

Dickinson county people were all
glad to know of the elevation Of J. l..
Hoffman, formerly Of this county, to
the presidency Of the State Dairy as
sociation. 1t is not too much to say
that he deserved it fully for he has
made a success in his business by
hard work and strict attention to
duty. He is the kind Of man that
always wins and he will bring to his
new position brains, push and exper-
ience.
Mr.. Hoffman was born on farm In
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in
February, 1868, and received only a
common school education. He left
school at the age Of II and learned
the carpenter trade; came to Kansas

WILL MAKE AN EXAMPLE.
Road Petitioners Must Look Out for
Expenses.

One Of the things that has caused
the county commissioners grief has
been the proneness OF people to ask
for new roads. There Is scarcely q
point In the county that cannot be
reached by a road yet every month
sees petitions presented for additional
throughiares. Viewers must be
appointed and paid, a surveyor paid
and II road Is ordered heavy dam
ages must be paid also. The law
states that II the viewers report ad-
versely on a roads opening the
petitioners must pay the costs and The
commissioners have decided to en-
force this clause. The viewers on o
south Dickinson road petitioned for
by VIM. Timm ct al. have reported
against its opening and the county
clerk has been instructed by the board
to call on Mr.. Tlmm to pay the costs
incurred, amounting to $l6.45. II
this is carried out in all road matters
It is likely to decrease the number Of
petitions.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
JOHN COOPER SHOT.
A Rifle Ball Makes His Right Arm
Helpless.

A dispatch from Las Animas, Colo,
says that J. J. Cooper Of this city had
a narrow escape from death. He was
in the barn at his place there when
some boys shooting with rifle at a
fence shot through three inches Of
boards into the building. The ball
struck Mr.. Cooper in the arm just
below the shoulder joint, struck the
bone and glanced down and lodged in
the lower part of the arm. 1t took
an hours probing before the bullet
was cut out. His arm is helpless and
he may be laid up for sometime. Mr..
Cooper had just stopped over and was
raising himself when the ball entered.
Had it been an instant sooner he
would have been hit in the head.

In 1881 and worked at his trade till
1888, when he commenced work as q
helper in the creamery then being or
ganized 10 miles northwest OF Newton
known as the Hesston creamery. The
next year he made all the butter. In
April, 1890, be was made secretary
and manager Of the company. Two
wars afterward he built the creamery
at Newton, and about this time con-
ceived the idea Of skimming-stations,
and soon had one established at
Goessel, Kansas. The next spring,
two more stations were established,
one each at Halstead and Whitewater.
Today, bis company Is operating q
creameries and stations, their success
has been phenominel. During the
past season they had the largest out
put Of butter in the State. This alone
shows what a man with the right
kind Of energy can do in Kansas.
Mr. Hoffman became identified with
the Kansas State Dairy association in
1890 and has been active since as as
sistant secretary for two years and
during 1895 as secretary and treas
urer. The Abilene convention was
by far the most successful ever held.
Everyone was pleased with the man
ner in which it was conducted and it
unanimously elected Mr.. Hoffman
president for 1897. During the past
year gain in membership was made
of oyer 55 per cent and no doubt will
be better next year, for Mr.. Hoffman
will add strength to its management.
