PRAISE FOR BURTON.
Bsloit's Leading Paper Has Compli-
mentary Words.

The Beloit Gazette of last evening
had for one Of its leading articles a
three quarter column biography Of
Hon. j. r. Burton with portrait
Among other complimentary things
it says:
when the Republican party was
overthrow in Kansas in 1890 he was
quick to take the field as its defender
and since that time no man has given
more of time, effort and money to its
cause than has he. Mr. Burton has
made nearly 400 speeches in Kansas
for Republicanism since 1890 and has
been no inconsiderable factor in Re-
publican successes.
Coming within only one vote of
the United States senatorship one
year ago. he was undaunted still and
his splendid courage and ready
reponse to duty and the call Of his
party won him more friends than ever
His hosts of friends and admirers
hope to see him succeed Senator
PETER next winter, and should he do
so he will make a champion for
Kansas and the West in the halls Of
congress who will be honored and in
1uential.
"Kansans who know Mr. and Mrs.
Burton always have word Of praise
for the latter. She is her husbands
constant companion in his travels and
was his sturdiest champion in the
senatorial fight atTopeka. None will
ever forget her womanly and power
full effort there. Their cosy home at
Abilene is always open to friends and
neighbors. Great as is Mr.. Burton's
following over the State, he is still
better loved and admired at home.
His neighbors in Abilene and Dickin-
son county-those who know him
best-are his heartiest supporters,
regardless Of party, and they have a
right to be, for he deserves their
loyalty"

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bittcrs Is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of a tonic and Alternative Is felt.
A prompt use Of this medicine has
often ayerted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Doc. and $l.00 per bottle at
