COMMITTEE Is APPOINTED
All Ready Now TO Receive Subscriptions
for the Public Elevator,

The Commercial club hae appointed
E. T. Allen. A c. Dickson, w. S. Pierce
and T. d. Stevens as a committe TO
take charge of the elevator subscrip
tions. They have opened an office in

counties who may be interested in the
establishment or a central grain market
in southern Kansas. The above named
committee are duly authorized to re-
ceive and receipt for subscriptions to the
elevator fund. All banks in Sedgwick
county will also be provided with blank
receipts and are authorized to receive
subscriptions. In order to receive the
advantage of a central grain market
for the present growing crop ii will be
necessary TO build the elevator at once.
Property owners and producers should
not wait for the committee to call upon
them, but should call at once and render
every assistance in the way of subscrip-
ton and influence.
A central grain market and basing
point in southern Kansas means the
same prices for grain at the Arkansas
valley as at the Missouri river and the
farmers and business men of southern
Kansas should take advantage of the
opportunity offered and subscribe the
necessary amount without delay. Plans
and specifications for the eevator have
been made and printed bills for material
are now in the hands of dealers for bids.
AS soon as the necessary stock has been
subscribed contracts will be let and the
elevator erected at once. 1t is of great
importance to the grain producers of
Sedgwick and adjoining counties that
this elevator be built in time to handle
the present wheat crop as it viii make
them thousands OF dollars in advanced
prices for their grain.
Let every farmer and business man
constitute himself a committee of one
and assist the committee in raising the
amount of subscription at once that
work on the elevator can be commenced
without delay.
The committee extends a special invi-
tation to all visiting farmers and busi-
ness men who may be in the city Mon
day. the Sth inst, to call on them at the
city building, where they will take
pleasure in giving them all information.
Remember that a central grain mar
ket and basing point at Wichita brings
from 8 to cents higher prices for your
grain: that all railroads have signed a |
contract to make Wichita a basing |
point for grain rates with the same pri- |
vileges accorded other central grain |
markets. providing the elevator is built, |
and that unless the $4,000 in stock is |
promptly by the grain pro-
ducers. farmers and business men OF |
Sedgwick and adjoining counties the |
elevator will not be built. The propo- |
sition as to subscriptions is fair, hon |
est one. and has been endorsed by all /
OF the largest business firms Of the city. |
Read the proposition carefully and cali
on the soliciting committee at once and
subscribe as literally as you are able;
see that your neighbor understands the
great Importance and assist in the good
work.

FREE CURES
Multitude of People Cured Of Chronic
Catarrh by DIR. Hartman's Free Home
Treatment

If Pe-ru-na will cure case of catarrh
of twenty years standing, it surely ought
to cure more recent cases. We receive
many letters in which people declare they
have been cured of catarrh that has de-
fed all treatment anywhere from ten to
thirty years. These people have no mo-
tive whatever for writing these letters
except gratitude. They receive no pay
before CT after writing such a letter. We
offer no reward for testimonials, nor do
we give any reward. Our testimonials
are far too numerous for publication,
even among those who would be perfect
ly willing for us 10 do so. The fact is
that Dr. Hartman's free treatment is
curing thousands Of people. The follow
ing is a specimen of the letters we re-
ceive:
H. w. Hopkins, Ironton, Ohio, writes:
ALLOW me to say word for Pe-ru-na.
For twenty years l was afflicted with
catarrh: at times / was so offensive that
my little children would complain of it.
[ tried patent medicines Of all kinds. also
some of the best physicians, but receiv-
ed no relief. Finally, after reading about
Pe-ru-na, 1 concluded to give it a trial
Like all others, had no faith in it: but
after taking one bottle I was entirely re-
lieved. Two and half bottles gave me
a permanent cure. Three years have now
passed and no symptoms of any return.
You may use this as you desire for the
benefit Of those suffering with this terri
be disease"
An instructively illustrated. 64-page
book on catarrhal diseases will be sent
free TO any address for a short time by
the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing COM
pany, Columbus, Ohio. The book was
recently written by DR.. Hartman, and
is of great interest to people who have
catarrh.

DIR. Caroline Brown Winslow's Osseous
System Is Declined With Thanks.

Washington. Dec. 12.-The late DR..
Caroline Brown Winslow, the we'll
known woman physician, who died this
week. left a will bequeathing her body
to Howard University, to be carefully
dssected by a woman medical student
for the purpose OF advancing her knowl-
edge of anatomy. After that she desired
that the several parts of her skeleton
should be wired together for the use Of
the Minor normal school Of the district
founded by her fried. Myrtilia Minor. the
skeleton 20 occupy the place in the school
the founder designed that skeleton
should occupy DR.. Winslow desired this
disposition of her body because the laws
of the country require that every medical
student shall obtain and dissect one hui
man body he or she can graduate or re-
ceive diploma, and. because there are
no methods provided by which such
bodies can be legally obtained except by
bequest or sale by the owner previous to
death.
If the trustees Of the university de-
clined TO accept the bequest. the body
was TO be cremated. 1t IS understood
that the university did decline to receive
the body, and X will be accordingly
cremated and the ashes inferred.
