Living stones In Falkland.

The most curious specimens OF vege-
table or plant life in existence are the
so-called Giving stones" Of the Falk-
land islands Those islands are among
the most cherries spots in the world,
being constantly subjected to strong
polar wind. In such climate 1t Is i'm.
possible for trees to grow erect, as they
do in other countries, but nature has
made amends by furnishing supply
Of wood in the most curious shape inn
aginable. The visitor to Falkland sees
scattered here and there singular
shaped blocks OF what appear to be
weather-beaten and moss-coverel
powders in various sizes. Attempt to
turn one of these "bowlders" over and
you will meet with surprise, because
the stone Is actually anchored by roots
OF great strength; in fact, you will find
that you are foolng with one of the
native trees. No other country In the
world has such peculiar forest"
growth. and 1t Is said to be next 10 in.-
possible to work the odd-shaped block
into fuel, because it is perfectly devoid
of grain" and appears to be nothing
but n twisted mass of woody fibers. -

Mrs. Morris from any of the
charges made against them. He
admitted that he alone had made

COMMUNICATED.

EDITORS NEWS: l beg to take
issue with you on your stand
regarding prohibition. The liquor
question is the greatest economic
question before the country. A
billion of dollars are worse than
wasted for liquor in this country
every year. If this drain OH our
resources was stopped "hard times
would soon cease. The cry against
prohibition, "it can't be enforced"
applies with equal force to any law
restricting the liquor traffic.
"Have we law prohibiting screens
in saloons, as in high license
Nebraska: 1t can't be enforced
says the Omaha ginnillcr, and he
forthwith proceeds to sell his beer
and whiskey behind screened
doors and windows. Have we a
law, as in massachusetts,, requiring
every liquor licensee to be bona
fide hotel keeper, selling his liquor
with meals to guests only: 1T can't
be enforced says the Bay State
rumniy, and he puts in bar and
sells his poison TO all corners.
Have we restrictions against
selling to minors and drunkards
as in New York and other states.
Still the law is freely violated
The law against selling liquor on
Sunday, or keeping a saloon open
after midnight is universally
violated. The saloon today breaks
every known law against the liquor
traffic; why, then, stop short of
prohibition? Prohibition comes
nearer killing the liquor traffic and
is more generally observed than
any other restrictive Legislation
against the traffic. If the property
OH which liquor is sold were only
held liable for fines and costs, the
prohibitory law would be better
enforced than it is. When we have
n good law let us keep it.
Respy, ]. Fl. MORGAN.

An Old Soldiers Recommendation


In the late war was a soldier in
the First Maryland Volunteers, Co.
G. During my term of service
contracted chronic diarrh9a.
Since then have used n great
amount of medicine, but when l
found any that would give me
relief it would injure my stomach,
until Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy was
brought to my notice. l used it
and will say il il is the only
remedy that gave me permanent
relief and no bad results follow. l
take pleasure in recommending
this preparation to all my old
comrades, who, while giving their
services TO their country, contracted
this dreadful disease, as / did, from
eating unwholesome and uncooked
food. Yours truly, a. E. Bending

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the langnid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of tonic and
alternative is felt. a prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache. indigestion, constipa-
ton, dizziness, yield to Electric Bitters.

SATURDAY, JANUARY IS.
HOcH cRITIcIZES MORRILL,.

A Topeka dispatch of Jan. 4 says
"This weeks issue of the Marion
Record, published by Hon. Ed.
Hoch. contained three.column,
double-leaded article upon the
governors recent remarks upon
the prohibitory law and the so
called Gothenberg system of
regulating the liquor traffic. In
the course of this article Mr.. Hoch
severely criticizes the governor.
upon the assumption that because
he has told the truth about the
failure of prohibition in some of
the Kansas cities, he, therefore. is
weak in the knees in the matter of
enforcing the law. To this
critiscism by Mr.. Hoch, Governor
Morrill, said to-day:
mo complaint has ever reached
this Office of the acknowledgements
of the prohibitory law which has
not received prompt and vigorous
attention. The first step have
always taken is TO demand from
the county attorney of the county
from which the complaint came
an explanation. If there appears
to be an inclination on the part OF
the attorney TO shirk his duty. he is
promptly informed that he must
enforce the law, or the state will
take hand. No such complaint
has been ignored, nor will il be
while this administration is in
power. 1t ia the purpose of this
administration to enforce every
law it finds upon the statute book
with all the limited power at it's
command; and protests from
fanatics on either side will not
deviate me from my own
conception of duty.
II recently spoke some friendly
words of the system of controlling
the liquor business in Sweden.
These were my personal opinions,
and know of no reason why,
because / am governor of Kansas,
/ should cease to form opinions or
be denied the right TO express
them. No utterance of mine has
ever given any Kansan the right Il
assume that did not intend to
enforce prohibition to the best of
my ability. / distinctly stated
that prohibition was, in my
opinion, vastly superior to the
license system. Where the whisk.
man can secure any consolation, o
the temperance man can find any
source of alarm is beyond my
system of reasoning.
"NIen who try TO construe my
remarks into a weakening upon
the enforcement of any law are
neither fair nor just. Least of all
should expect such sentiments
to come from a Republican
prohibitionist. We temperance
people of Kansas have an alert
enemy at all times in the field to
combat in the element which is
seeking return to the license
system of saloons. Instead of
misinterpreting what we say to
each other and looking with
: suspicion upon every opinion
which differs from our own in the
slightest degree, we must stand
together, be liberal and broad and
charitable, and only fight when tn
common enemy takes the field"
