The piles Of kegs and cases at nearly
every railway station il this state are
standing monuments to the fact that
prohibition does not prohibit. The drug
glsts are doing the largest part of this
illegal business. In many cases the
drug store in front is but a blind to the
bar-room at the rear.-Volga Tribune.
This is true, every word Of it, and
every man who has occasion to travel
outside of his own community knows
that it is true. And what are the voters
Of this state going to do about it: get so
plumb crazy over the money question or
the interests Of this or that candidate
for county office that they will utterly
forget to vote on the amendment as
printed on the ballots? THIS was largo
ly the case when the prohibition amend

won't find the prohibitionists forgetting
the matter; every mothers son Of them
will make it point to register his
opinion when they mark their ballots

Ru,ter aud Eggs.

Under Mckinley reciprocity, which we
Will get again, we exported twenty-nine
millions OF pounds of butter in 1890, and
only i've million last year. Farmers of
Hutchinson county, don't you see that
the pledge to renew your market is bet
ter to YOU than the Bryan pledge to coin
the bullion for the silver miners. Read
up on these questions. You want to vote
right, ana will ii you are satisfied, so
satisfy yourselves Paykston Advance.
Ii our Young friend Nipple would look
up tho facts for himself instead of dc.
pending upon the lying Republican
sheets OF greater pretentlons he would
not be guilty Of such bad breaks. 1t
may be worth something for HIM to
know that our foreign butter trade never
was in so healthy condition. In the
Elgin Dairy Report Of Aug. "a we find
that the exports to Europe since May 1
were lOl, l,46l packages against 2s,2Ol for
the same time In 1895, an increase of
nearly 400 per cent. We will just bet
the Advance box Of cigars that the ex-
ports OF butter for 1896 will exceed any
Mckinley year it can name. The
chances are hat the exports will bel three
times as heavy.
Now, here's another bad break from
the same issue Of the Advance:
Our egg exports under the Mckinley
bill for the year 1891 was $6i,259 and
last year $25,317. We believe Hutchin-
son county farmers will vote for the old
law and Mckinley.
! The last thing We heard from the g. O.
p. organs about eggs was that the Will
son bill lad killed the business because
it took off the duty. But here Is a Re-
publican sheet bowling because we
aren't selling our usual quote OF eggs to
the paupers across the big pond.

We've been telling folks hereabouts
that New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio
were full OF free silver Republicans, but
they wouldn't believe it the supposition
being general that the free silver Repub-
licans were all in the west. Ohio has
always contained large soft money
element-and it is rot BY any means
confined to the Democratic party. 1t
was in this state that greenbackism
tlourished at its best and is the strong
sentiment in Ohio against the gold
standard that prompted McK'nley's for
mer speeches favorable to the white
metal. Look at that demonstration at
Cleveland the other night when Bryan
arrived in this business center of the
strongest Republican district between
the two oceans. Sixteen thousand people
crowded into the armory to hear him,
and he afterward addressed 5000 more
in the Music Hall and vast concourse
in front OF his hotel. Special trains
were run into the city and 500 people
came from Canton, McKinley's home
where Bryan spoke but few weeks ago.
Then at the capital -Columbus--Tues-
day night, where 10000 people turned
out to hear the eloquent young west
erner-the largest essemblage ever ad-
dressed by a political speaker in the his
tory Of the country. These FREQ silver
Republicans scattered throughout the
eastern Republican strongholds may not
all vote their convictions, but one thing
certain: il the Democrats were as united
on the money question as they were on
the tariff w. j. Bryan would be put into
the White House by tho largest electoral
vote any man ever had.

Most of the old-fashioned barns Were
built with a view to economy, and
were made as narrow and cramped as
possible, says the American Cultivator.
The standard width seemed to be
enough for wagon loaded with grain
In the straw to be driven In, and for the
barn door to be closed behind 1t. The
floor was also narrow, so that the team
had to be driven out at the door oppo-
site that they went in ut. 1t Is rather
curious that farmers tried to economic
so much In lumber when the woods
were full of 1t, and larger framed
buildings might be made with scarcely
any more expense. When farmers be-
gan to build barns with Easements, and
having only one entrance, the barn was
necessarily made wider and its floors
broader, so that a loaded wagon could
be driven in and the team be driven
out beside it. A roomy barn floor is
very convenient for storing many kinds
Of farm tools; but wagons should al.
ways be stored in the basement, where
the wheels will come in contact with
the soil.

Americans would once more whip the
British should the scare eventuate in
war. Polly took all this with reason
able good-nature. but when one of the
boys during lunch hour waved the stars
and stripes in her face her British blood
rose in rebellion. Snatching the flag
from the boys hand, she tore 1t to
pieces, dashed the remnants to the
ground and stamped on them. The
boys were so much astonished that
they did not resent the extraordinary
conduct and Polly was half way home,
running as fast as she could, before
they recovered themselves. Old G.. A.
r. men even now shake their heads
when talking over the matter. but the
citizens of Belleville generally laugh
at the whole affair. Polly Is proud of
the English blood In her veins, and re-
sented the tweaking her schoolmates
gave to the tail of the British lion when
the Venezuelan question was discussed.
Her father, Lawyer George Biller, Of
Newark, is jocular over the incident In
school, and her mother regrets the no
toriety which has been brought upon
her daughters name. The boys of the
school are still expressing their APP
proval of the pluck of Miss Polly, but
the girls are sarcastic in their critic
isms of her display OF spunk.

How to insure Longevity.

Some curious hgures have lately been
made public by celebrated Berlin
physician, which seems to point to the
fact that II man wants to live long
and preserve his health and strength
he ought to marry. Among unmarried
men between the ages of 30 and. A. the
death rate is q per cent. Among mar
ried men between the same ages It is
only 10 per cent. For forty-one bsche-
lors who live to be 40 years of age. sew
enty-eight married men triumphantiy
arrive at the same period.
The difference gets all the more
marked as time goes on. At GO years
of age there are only twenty-five bach
slors to forty-eight married men; at 20
there are eleven bachelors to twenty
seven who were married, and by the
time they reach 90 the married men
are three to one, for there are nine of
them to every three bachelors!
And yet, In the face of facts like
these, we still find men daring to re-
main singled 1t really is as much as
their lives are worth, II they only come
to think of 1t. Men may talk of their
lives being shortened by domestic wor-
ries ard anxieties and cares. That is
all rubbish. Statistics must tell tie
truth. and these statistics of the Bcr.
lin doctor say that the man who Is a
bachelor stands In Tar greater risk OF
shortened span.

COMMUNION SYMPTOMS.

Latest Device for Doing Away with
the Promiscuous Communion Cup.
So much discussion regarding reform
in communities cups has been around
that Inventive geniuses have gone to
work In earnest on the subject, believ-
ing that a radical change of some kind
Is bound to come before long. Individ-
ual communion cups have been adopted
in few churches, but they have to be
carried on huge trays, and 1t is cum
bersome method at best.
The latest device is syphon. The
syphon retains the idea of unity and
fellowship in the presentation of one
cup, effectually prevents the transmits
sion of any disease and suggests a
cleanliness that makes 1t attractive.
The wine may be freely drawn from the
cup by the syphon, but not one drop
that touches the lips can return. 1t is

An Old Remedy suppIaWtsd patsne
Medicines ~
Several letters have been written to
The Sun recently inquiring about
bears oil or bears grease, at one time
q standard household remedy In cases
OF aches, pains, or bruises of any kind.
Nowadays, bears oil, the ordinary rem
dered fat OF the bear, has been sup
planted by the many patent liniments
ON the market It's use IN cities h
almost obsolete. and apothecaries have
for the past ten Oh twelve years erased
to carry 1t in stock, as the call for the
article has so diminished an 20 srQndar
Its immediate sale extremely doubtful,
and the genuine bears oil or grease
soon becomes rancid. in spite of all ef-
forts to prevent It, owing to the large
amount OF albuminous matter 1t con-
tains.
The reputation of the article which
fulfilled the purpose of both ungucnt
and liniment, according to the temper
AZURE at which it was used, was great
among the Indians. The athletic
members of the tribe, before partici-
pating In games, anointed themselves
with the oil, rubbing it well into the
joints, and believed that 1t rendered
them more 1.-THE and agile. The IN
dian wrestlers were especially devoted
to it's use, and one Of the chief Gle
tments of their training consisted In
being well rubbed with the unctuous
matter for week or two preceding
the match. 1t was also used to heal
bruises and to reduce the infiamma-
ton caused by the bites and stings Of
insects. The early settlers had as high
an opinion of it as the Indians, and few
were the bears killed by them from
which the fat which lay directly be-
tween the flesh and the hide was not
extracted. Nearly all the older mein-
bers of the present generation will re-
member the stubby round bottles upon
which was printed the picture of u
bear, and w..ich were resOrted to after
little accidents. The increasing scare
fly of bears gradually forced the phar-
macists to substitute other matter for
the real bears oil, which became very
expensive, and under the label of the
bear many limitations of the genuine
articles were sold. The United States
Dispensatory, edition of 1864, makes
note of this. 1t says:
castor oil is much employed in the
preparation of an article which is OK
tensively sold throughout the country
for bears oil. 1t is composed of four
fluid ounces of castor oil mixed with
two fluid brahms of an aqueous sOlu-
ton Of salts of tartar carbonate of
potassa) and scented with berg;,-
mot or other aromatic OIL"
Patent medicines also ingratiatel
themselves into the confidence of the
public. anu the call for bears oil in
cities gradually fell off, until the drug
gists dropped the article in it's crude
form altogether.
Several pOmades and preparations
for The hair are still sold. Even these,
although they command high price,
are generally composed principally Of
other than the genuine bears grease.

a resident at the court of st, Peters
burg. Sir Frederick's special strength
i'm his precise and striking knowledge
of anatomy has, 1t is asserted, marred
some of his best work with the brush,
but he stands to-day the foremost man
Of art in England, and his new titular
honors will help him but little, IL ut all,
to add to his worldwide fame and posi-

as painter, and reference to his work
would be waste of time. Sir Frederick
lives well In one of the finest houses
In London. The great hall, noted as the
''blue hall of Narcissus," opens into an
interior in which Macaenas would be at
home. The gorgeous dining-room il
hung I'm simple Cordovan leather over
which Whistler painted at his best. Sir
Frederick is also an orator. His lin

for art alone he might have been an

friend Is Alma Tadema.
