STATE MOTTO: PURITY IN THE HOME AND
GOD IN GOVERNMENT.

Some one, we have forgotten who,
has said, "that man is fanatic when
he advances vital idea and stands
by it and keeps it prominent though
he must hold up the standard by HIM
self unaided; he is an enthusiast when
still, persistent and steadfast, he has
won few men and women over to
help him hold aloft the standard; he
becomes hero when the world is won
for his principle. Many men are not
recognized as heroes until after death
has claimed them. Others receive the
honors due while they live.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union has just past it's majority;
it has been graduated from the pre-
paratory school of experience in
methods and ethical experiments, with
high honors; it is in good health, with
splendid physique, and mental pow
ers highly developed; and it is ener-
getic, full of power and uncompro-
missing in it's aim and purpose for
purity and strength of life and char
acter. 1t has long since passed the
fanatical age, has been an enthusiast
for many years, and if not yet alto
gether a hero, in the sense of the
above rendering, is at least not far
from that goal.
A certain minister of national fame
spoke the following words for the W..
G. T. U. in city not many thousand
miles away. They apply here in Red
wood, SO we quote verbatim: 81 want
to see in this city, wives and mothers
all united together in common
effort to bring purity into this COM
munity and save the town. How
many members has the w. @. T. U. in
in this town all told? answer, sixty. }
How many of them are regular at
PENDANTS and worker? ANSWER, about
twelveo No wonder the saloonkeep-
ers and gamblers have it all their own
way in your town. 1t is dominated
by saloons, and twelve women are
regular attendants and workers in the
W. G. T. U! Since I came to this
town young man, son of a mother
here, came to my room and said: 4
am ruined in character. l have gam
bled away money that does not be-
long to me. am wrecked And yet
mother, you are doing nothing for the
Women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion! Some of these days you will pay
dear for this neglect. There. isn't a
woman in this town that ought not be-
long to the w. G. T. U. Twelve work
ing temperance women in this city,
with the town ruled by whiskey! Ii
you find a good thing going on in
- that looks to the rescue Of the
boys and the teaching of the bible and
the building up of the kingdom OF
God and the routing of the devil, and
my wife is not in it, I want her to
come up and get religion over again.
BRO. T. says, I believe there are
honest Christian women in this coun-
try who do not belong to the W. q. /.

a DOCTORS SECRET
How He Keeps Well in Spite of Exposure
and Bad Weather


One of the best known eminent ply
s;cians of the United States, in speaking
Of good health, said: ''The way keen
myself from getting sick, in the midst OF
all sorts Of exposures, is as follows:
I always keep my feet warm and dry,
head cool, body clean, eat moderately
three times a day, use no tobacco or
stimulus, sleep in a we'll ventilated room
going to bed early, and, when exposed
to any especial danger, such as March
weather or contagious diseases, 1 take
consequently am never sick. This is
MY secret"
Such testimony should be needed by
all-the sick and the well alike. Those
who already are the victims of cough,
loose or tight; la grippe, severe or mild;
catarrh, acute or chronic; bronchitis,
serious or trivial; consumption, linger-
ing or quick, the remedy that relieves
quickly and readily, cures quickly and
permanently restores the health, is Pc
ru-na- Pe-ru-na when once used in the
family, becomes a household fixture.
AS a spring tonic and blood purifier,
both to prevent and cure disease, Pc
ru-na has no equal. 1t cleanses,
strengthens, soothes, purifies, invigor-
ates, regulates and restores.
A 64-page book, instructively illustrat
ed, on chronic catarrh and all catarrhal
diseases, and written by DR.. Hartman,
will be sent free of charge to any ad-
dress by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac-
turing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

Agent Herbig of the Rock Island rail-

Wichita who could talk with her except

Paris, March 2S.-Berthelot, minister

ground Of ill-health and family reasons.
Premier Bourgeois has succeeded Ber-

minister Of the interior, previously held
by Bourgeois.

Paris, March 2S.-An official commu-
nication has just been issued relative to
the statement by Mr.. Curzon in the
British house of commons yesterday.
Mr.. CurZon made the announcement, in
regard to the ennulling of existing
treaties with Madagascar that it was a
subject of extreme Importance. When
the English government had received
official notice of this action, he said,
they would take proper steps to protect
British interests.
The French government, in its official
note, asserts that France occupied in
Madagascar a special position and that
it is entitled to special trea tment in
consequence. France will accordingly
grant to Great Britain in Madagascar
the benefit of the most favored nation
clause, so far as other nations are con-
cerned. France will not, however, give
Great Britain the benefit of the most
favored nation clause if it is interpreted
to mean that Great Britain will be &C
corded the same commercial rights in
Madagascar as are accorded to the
French government. France, in other
words, win insist in being the most fav-
Ored nation

Emporia, kan. where he recentlv made

Emporia, Kan, where he recently made
valuable additions to his stock farm.
Wichita is destined to become the larg
est center of finely bred stock and all
should show their interest in this matter
by helping TO maintain the greatest help
the stockman has, viz: the State Fair.
As with the fine stock centering here in
Sedgwick county the State Fair of Kan
sas should of necessity be held here. The
citizens Of Wichita should go out and
visit the different stock farms lying
near the city and see for themselves
what fine animals are raised at these
farms. ANY one visiting the Elm
Beach Stock farm will be royalty enter
tanned by S. c. Duncan, the genial SUI
perintendent. The draft of fine hogs
bought at Emporia by Mr.. Irwin will
arrive this week and visitors will be
welcome at the Elm Beach farm, which
lies just west of Sullivan's dam north
OF the city. Too much cannot be said
of our county for the raising of fine
stock. In this herd of swine are such
animals as the following: Sir Charles
COrwin, the boar said by Lou Burke to
be the finest and most uniform breeded
in the west; he is closely seconded by
Harry Faultless, boar from the great
81 200 boar, Hadley, Jr., and out of the
great sow FNaultless Queen Corwin, who
brought the high price of $3.50 under the
hammer. Johnny Ko-Ko and Wide
Auceke are also in this herd. The fol-
lowing sows are among the many to be
found on this farm: Lady Longfellow,
the SOW which brought $500 at the EN-
poria Sunny Slope farm sale; she is a
model Of perfection; won first and sweep
stakes at the Texas State fair, in all
won ribbons at three state fairs last
fall Martha Washington TX, Black
Daisy III, Esmerelda, Lady Tecumseh,
J. H. I; Martha Washington; J. H. S.!
miss Hadley, and Champion Girl the
blue ribbon SOW Of the last Kansas State
fair which was held in this city with
others constitute this herd. The ten
head bought by Mr.. Irwin at Emporia
averaged over 1925 each. This farm
is now considered one of the leading
hog farms of the west.

THE BANS ARE BROKEN
DR.. Mamie Stevens is Granted a Divorce at
Kansas City.


In speaking of the divorce trial of
DR.. Mamie Stevens from her husband,
Ralph Stevens, at Kansas City, daily
paper Of that place says:
DIR. Mamie A. Stevens, the new
woman" defendant in a sensational d.
vorce suit, obtained her dearest wish
when, at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Judge Dobson cut the knot which bound
her to Ralph Stevens of Wichita. In
granting the separation the court award
ed the custody Of the youngest child 10
DR.. Stevens. The other child, a boy
of Il, was left to take his choice of which
parent he would prefer to live with, and
will probably choose his father. In case
the boy chooses TO live with his mother,
Mr.. Stevens viii have to furnish money
for his support. Beyond this arrange
nlent there is no alimOny in the case
and no plan for a division of the Ste
vens property in Wichita.
The court made a pretty straight
talk TO both parties before granting the
decree, incidentally adding some very
pertinent truths on the subject of di-
vorce in general.
DIR. Stevens was indirectly touched
up on some Of her new woman proclivl-
ties. which evidently found no favor in
the mind of Judge Dobson.
"a curious fact brought out in the
trial was that DR.. Stevens desired TO
send her oldest child TO the reform
school.
do you know what sort OF a place
the reform school is?'' asked Judge Dob
son.
yes sir; I think I do" she answered.
DO you know that ii a sort of penI-
Tertiary, where the send unruly chill
dren. and that 10 send your boy there
would place him in association with
young criminals, and cast a stigma
upon his life which nothing could re-
move in after years"
After this there was no more talk OF
the reform school"
