pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing

About the Per CAPITA.

The Monitor is taking a queer
position for Pop paper. 1t will be
read out Of Its camp II It keeps on
publishing Republican documents.
Last week 1t printed a fake article
that had been shown to be a forgery
several days previous and the RE.
FLEcr0R called 1t down. That did it's
cause harm but it was not a circurn-
stance TO the break 1t makes this week
from an Pop standpoint) in printing
a table that shows the per capita cir
culation Of the currency. 1t says in
this table that it is now $2l.65. On
July LIST, 1873, 1t was 1881. But
the Pops claim that the prices Of
commodities have decreased because
the per capita has, hence we suffer.
But theMonitor shows that the amount
Of money in per capita circulation is
considerably more than 1t was then.
Hence the decreased currency cannot
be the cause Of the lower prices.
We commend the Monitor for telling
the truth for once in its existence.

An Exciting Time.

Most Of the Abilene people who
have give up Pixies Peak have walked.
Walking is about the only thing that
is cheap out in Ute Pass. It costs
$500 to ride up the railroad to the
top and even at that price 1t is taking
chances. An accident occurred on the
road Monday, and but for the safety
Of the brake used on all the cars OF
this line, the trair load Of passengers
would have been hurled down the
mountain to destruction. Coming
down the mountain, the side bars on
the driving wheels on both sides Of
the engine broke, rendering the COM
pressed air brake on the engine USE
less Conductor Guyman applied the
automatic brakes in the passenger
coach, and soon stopped that. The
engineer and fireman were compelled
to abandon the engine which was be-
You'd control, and it went down the
rs per cent grade at a terrific speed
for nearly half mile, when 1t struck
a curve, jumped the track and shot
through the air, for fully $50 feet,
going clear over boulder fifteen feet
high on the mountain side above.

FREIGHT RATE CUT.
Santa Fe Meets the Reduction Of the
Missouri Pacific.

The Missouri Pacific few days
ago reduced the rates on wheat and
corn from Wichita and other points in
Kansas to st. Louis from cent to 2
cents per 100 pounds below rates
then in effect.
Notice was given by the Santa Fe
today that 1t would meet the Mis-
souri, Pacilic's rates with correspond
ingly low rates to Chicago. The new
tariff from the principal Kansas
points is as follows: Wichita-wheat
l6c, corn l2c; Arkansas City, l6c and
12c; Belle PLANE, 16c and 12c;
Mcpherson, lSc and lac; Geneseo, 2lc
and l7c. There are corresponding
reductions Of from lc to Be from all

The Mckinley club had a fairly
well attended meeting Friday night at
the court room when J. 5. Dean Of
Marion made one Of the best speeches
Of the campaign. He is a strong
talker and thoroughly posted on the
history Of the nation. He devoted
much Of his address to the tariff and
showed how free trade has affected
disastrously the United States. Such
addresses are worth hearing.

Deserve Much Credit.

The board Of education deserves
much praise for the transformation 1t
has caused in the Garfield building.
The basement walls have been whit
ened and tasteful room has been
fitted up for the little folks who
bring their dinners as a lunch and
play room for the noon hour. All
the walls on the second and third
floors have been handsomely papered
in attractive tints and the rooms are
made beautiful and artistic. Black
boards have been enlarged and i'm
proved, walks have been repaired,
steps painted and the entire building
and grounds put in perfect condition,
Children and patrons will be delight
ed with the change. 1t means better
education and sweeter surroundings
for the pupils.

HOW THEY DO IT.
Fake Figures That Blow Up the Free
Silver Gas Bag.

The Salina Republican says this
concerning the free silver gas bag;
The fake figures given out by free
silver organizations in the state have
lost their terror. In most cases it
turns out that the Bryan free silver
clubs are composed chiefly Of Popu-
lists, and that the sfree silver Repub-
licans' are scattering few in such
organizations. At first the figures
were so handled as to make 1t appear
that the whole Republican contingent
was going over to Bryan; but when
it was discovered that Populists and
Democrats were called in to swell the
count. the report caused no more
solicitude.
That is all right as far as it goes,
but tits only part Of it. The way
the clubs are started are by getting
out pledges to support Bryan nobody
else) and scores Of sheets 81 paper
with the pledge on are circulated
through the county. That is what
was done here and about 600 Pops
and Democrats signed it. Then the
neighboring town starts club and
circulates sheets for signers the
same way. By the time the county
is ''organized" there will be names
enough on all the sheets to equal the
number Of men, women, children,
cats, dogs and neat cattle in the
county with several thousand to
spare Each Pop and free silver
Democrat will belong to from six to
twenty clubs--but they will vote only
once. AbiIene's "club Of 600" never
gets more than 100 members out to a
meeting-and that is about its legiti-
mate strength. Figures won't lie
but Pop campaign managers will
make them look mighty crooked.

Endorses the Rioters.

John Mahan delivered Pop speech
up in Ottawa county the other night
in which he defended the Chicago
rioters and appealed to the auditors
in abuse Of Cleveland for sending the
troops to put down the incipient re-
bellion. With Mahan on the bench
the people who are disposed to riot,
burn and STAY will have his hearty
approval and will be encouraged to go
on with the good work. The more
property they can destroy and the
more lives they can wipe out Of ex-
istence the better will the court like
it. A few more Judges like Mahan
and Doster would make this mighty
good country to move out of.

OPPOSES WHEAT SOWING.
Butler County Rival Of Kropf Adj
viseo Farmers

Dickinson's weather and crop
prophet, Mr.. Kropff, has not yet offer
ed any advice for 1897 He predicted
big crops on his own farm for 1896
but refused to talk about the rest Of
the county.
Joseph Swami, the well known
prognosticator Of the Whitewater
country, Butler county, has brief
forecast out.for 1897 that will inter-
est the farmers as many OF them have
considerable faith in his predictions.
Mr.. Swami is at least one Of the most
unique characters OF Kansas and his
weather forecasts yearly attract more
and more attention. He says
Il will offer you the bestSof advice
as starter. Sow no more wheat
this fall than you will need, for seed
in ~. Sow in corn stalks II possible.
Cut of no corn fodder, neither let the
stock in stalk fields unless you want
to 60 into the skinning business.
"The forecast for 1897: The win
tel will be very long and cold one,
with much snow in all localities
where snow is a factor. Billiards
will be on hand. Highways and rail-
ways will be blockaded no little; all
to be followed by much rainfall and
high waters most Of the year.
"Do not be in haste to getin spring
crops. Oats will be an assured crop
II well put in and cared for. Plant
large and late varieties Of corn, plant
Ing thin. Wet weather will be- your
trouble. Take the best Of care Of all
the feed you have this fall, having 1t
convenient. Provide good shelter
for self and stock and do not forget
the suffering hungry and poor Of our
land"

SOMETHING FOR FARMERS,
How Prices Have Fluctuated on
Whsat, Corn and Silver.

Wheat was far higher in 1880 than
1t was in 1870, aud yet the alleged
"crime Of 1872 had been committed
seven years before. In 1873 wheat
was two cents higher than in 1870,
but corn was 80 cents a bushel lower,
and allowing for differences in cur.
rency and freight great deal lower
than 1t was for some time in 1895.
Wheat and corn went up 10 aud 70
cents, respectively, between 1878 and
1874, while cotton declined three and
iour-tenths cents pound. Cotton
declined nearly five cents a pound be-
tween 1870 and 1878. Silver also
declined every year between 1870 and
1873, but rose from 1876 to 1877.
Between 1870 and 1877 cotton fell So
cents; between 1867 and 1871, 1872
cents. q
Corn, wheat and cotton iluctuated
from year to year in the period
named, as they always do, being CON
rolled BY supply and demand. As
an illustration, take corn, which was
worth for export 80! cents in 1870
and "a $40 cents in 1880. In 1870
we produced 760,OOO,0OC bushels; in
1880, l,755,OO0,OOO bushels. The
difference in production is more than
sufficient to account for the difference
in price. That it did not decline to a
lower figure can only be explained BY
an increase in the demand. The in
crease in population augmented the
demand about one-third, without
taking into account the demand from
abroad, which also increased largely
between the two dates.
The decline Of prices between 1870
and subsequent years is due in part
to the premium on gold prior to 1879,
which fluctuated from year to year,
from reduced rates Of freight, from a
great increase Of the supply in COM
parison with the demand, and from
the enormous cheapening Of produce
ton in many cases, The agency Of
cheapened production is shown by
the steady increase in wages from
1878 to 1891, the date Of the latest
complete investigation, showing that
the working-man was producing far
more than formerly, getting part Of
the increase in higher wages and part
In cheaper goods. These are the
facts and they refute the claim Of the
Bryanites that the worlds commod-
tiles has decreased in 5alue with and
because Of silver's decrease.

TOOK HIS own LIFE.
Owner Of an Abilene Store Commits
Suicide.


A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo-,
says: "Daniel Mcdonald, president
Ct the local Y. M. c. A. and a member
Of the wholesale firm Of Kemper,
Hundley 4 Mcdonald, committed
suicide Thursday morning by shoot
ing himself through the head with a
revolver. The deed was committed
at his home on Buchanan avenue soon
after be had eaten breakfast. Finan-
cial loss is the only cause known for
the suicide. Mr.. Mcdonald was in
terested in business in this city and a
number Of outside towns. He owned
stock in the Merchants bank here and
a few months ago formed a company
for the manufacture Of bar iron. All
his business ventures were poor with
the exception Of the wholesale house
and the trouble weighed heavily on
his mind. He was leader in relig-
ious circles.
Mr.. Mcdonald was the owner Of the
Mcdonald store, formerly Goods,
managed by A. R. Rose. He came
into possession Of it through claim
resulting from having sold large
stocks to the old firm. Mr.. Rose re-
ceived notice Of Mr.. McDonald's death
today. No change will be made in
the business.
