The congressman from this districrsis
either pretty slow or else he does not
care to bother himself with distributing
seeds to his constituents. A few DAYS
ago the press. at the request OF Mr.
Stewart, published a statement that the
delay in distributing seeds was not Mr..
Stewards fault, but that the interior
department had not, yet given the cong
ressmen their QUOTA How does this
compare with the editorial in Tuesday. u
Superior Telegram which compliments
Congressman Jenkins, OF the Tenth dis
trict, on his thorough and active work
in distributing seeds he having complet-
ed his distribution several weeks ago.
The Telegram says Of Congressman
Jenkins
lie has already distributed $50 pack
ages of vegetable and flower seeds in
excess of his quota and in addition to
this procured 900 extra packages from
another congressman and has sent those
out, making in all 4 1850 packages. This
is great showing
Perhaps these additional 900 pack
ages Jenkins secured fir ON another cong
ressman were given him by Stewart to
save the trouble OF distributing them

STOCK FARM.
Chicago Parties visit this co@ntry in search o
q suitable location for stock farm.

Sunday mornings limited brought to
the village two gentlemen representing
Chicago parties, DESTROYS OF securing u
suitable location for a stock farm. They
are in search of from 5000 to 5000
acres OF good land lying in one tract,
well watered and as near as possible to
good public schools. Mr.. Graham, OF
this city took the gentlemen in charge
and showed them thelands out in Town
40 Range IL, south Of Anvil lake.
They seemed to be favorably impressed
with that locality. especially with that
part of being abundantly watered. These
gentlemen were sent out by Chicago
parties on g. tour of inspection and will
on their return make a report OF their
trip to their representatives, when some
definite action will then be taken.
Besides visiting here they also looked
over land near Amigo and Pelican Lake
At which place the farm will be located
nothing but the future will reveal. But
from the remarks these gentlemen passed
and the fact of their holding an option
on all these lands, it would seem that
we certainly have a better chance to
secure the same than the others,
a stock farm of the proposed portions
would be lasting advertisement to this
country; one that would do more toward
bringing in farmers and settling up our
country, than uything else.

Tex. had a rather thrilling experience
Of life on the ocean wave few days
ago.
On this particular day he chartered a
small vessel and with his wife and
children went out on the bay for sail.
Shortly after leaving land the wind
commenced to blow a stiff gale, which
increased as the vessel advanced in the
bay, and BIcTaggart was advised to
take his family below as the waves
were rising. Following this advice,
they shortly settled themselves in the
lower cabin, but had been there only
a short time before a tug belonging to
the life saving station came alongside
the vessel and took them on board, i'm
rnediately steaming back to shore
There AIcTaggart was informed that his
life and the lives of his family had been
in serious danger, as the vessel had
narrowly escaped capsizing, and that
the tug had gone out in answer to sig
nails Of distress.

1Eary Sullivan Cured Of a Bad Case of
Spasms by Prof Samuels.

That Prof. Samuels has had wonder
ful success in the treatment OF spasus
there can be no doubt. But that he
does it with treatment entirely through
the eyes is the most remarkable thias
of all. Mrs. Alice Sullivan is q widow
lady living near the corner of Fifth
and Swfgart streets, near the east slCe
of town and her youngest child Marry
is now about 13 years old and the su1-
jet of this article.
Two years ago next July this girl and
her Oldest sister were swinging one Gay
when by some accident the seat Of the
swing struck Mary a violent blow jusr
above the temple on the left side of tas
head. That night she had q spasm and
then another and another ill severed
times her life was almost despaired oG
These attacks were very violent i'm their
nature and when they came on 1T took
four or five people 10 hold her on the
bed, although q mere child. and not q
stout one at that.
At first her toes and fingers would
begin to witch and then the muscles
grow rigid and finally the head and
shoulders would be drawn back so Ear
as to almost touch the feet. Her mother
said she often thought they sholEd
never be able to straighten the girl
again. These attacks would come on
as often as three or four times d1y
el-AA SUMS -Al44~'1 AeA9-Nf-A eAAA tAAAtA
time. This continued for about nix
weeks without intermission. causing
untold suffering to the child and great
anxiety to her mother and family.
Then came a few months Of respite
only to return again last summer Vith
more severity and frequency than be-
fore After continuing about six weeks
they again ceased, but only for q short
time. BY this time the case had become
q noted one both to the neighbOrs and
to the Topeka doctors. Several of the
best physicians in town had seen md
treated the case, everyone of them
agreeing that the only treatment vas
an operation They said there was q
fracture of the skull and an undue rres-
sure on the brain, and to remove that
she must so to the hospital for an
operation Until this was done the only
/ remedy they could give would be some
| simple preparation TO quiet the nerves.
So when the spasm came on again
last winter, Mrs. Sullivan was al her
wits end to know what to do. To take
her to the hospital was out of the aues-
ton and as a last resort she concluded
l to try Prof Samuels- So about the
middle of February he began treating
her and since that time she has had but
one attack and that in very light
/ form 1t was confined simply to the
/ twitching of the fingers and toes. She
