John W. Farr, who came to Hutch
inson from Blue Rapids about year
ago with handle to his name and a
four story hat on his half story head,
started "The Farrian University"
and conducted it through the summer
with about three scholars, got little
unenviable notoriety in Topeka the
other day through a Hutchinson
woman, Mrs. Shady, with whom he
was rather intimate while here. She
went with him to Topeka to keep house
for him, and it is claimed she let him
have lot of her furniture. She got a
policeman and fetched note out of
him for snug sum and a little cash,
whether she gets anything more or not
She has probably got much more than
a good many other Of his Hutchinson
creditors.

The Talk Of Contest.

There has been some talk Of a con-
test of the election of Theo. Botkin to
the legislature also of Mr.. Fall and
Tom Keddie. The talk does not seem
to emanate from the candidates but
from their friends who would like to
see them seated in Office. 1t is based
upon irregularities in the Third and
Fourth wards of Hutchinson and while
we do not now say that the irrigulari-
ties were sufficient to Justify contest,
it is plain that the election in these
wards was not conducted in accord
ance with the law and that the irreg-
uIarities did not in any manner con-
duce to the success Of the populist
ticket. In these two wards the voting
booths were in room entirely separate
from the room where the judges were.
At one time while the writer was pres
ent, an unusual noise was discovered
in the room where the booths were
erected and on one of the clerks look
ing in he found several Of the colored
population together talking over the
marking of ballot. One thing is sure,
precincts have been thrown out on less
grounds than this.
Tue officers who arranged for the
polling places can hardlybe excused on
the ground of ignorance for that is not
the case. 1t IS either case of mex
cusable carelessness or willful arrange

Dr.. R. v. Pierce Of the Invalids' Hotel

remedy that will positively and unfail-

sumption.
Consumption Is a germ disease, but the
germs CANNOT exist in rich pure blood.
Therefore it has been called a "blood
disease, People with Weak lungs afs

and weak lungs are an invitation to con-
sumption geehis. therefore consumption
has been Justly called a hereditary
trouble. No matter what it is called or
why it comes, DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will cure it. The Golden
Medical Discovery" is a powerful germ
icide. 1t searches out disease germs and
kills them wherever they be in the body
whatever kind of germs they may be.
1t stimulates digestive action and sup
plies the blood with the properties it
needs to make it pure and rich. It
strengthens inherited weak lungs and
makes them healthy and germ proof. 1t

Instinct in IA Baby beaver.

Every animal inberits the power OF doing
certain things without being taught-that

a gentleman refused TO believe in this in-
stinct, SO to convince him a Canadian
friend bought a baby beaver from n hunter
and sent 1t to the gentleman.
The little beaver became u great pet in
the house, but gave no sign OF wanting to
build dam until one day a leaky pail of
water was put on the floor of the back
kitchen.
Though but baby, the instinct now
awoke in the beaver. The instant he saw
the water ooziug out of pail, be scaniper-
ed into the yard, brought in a chip, and
began building his dam.
The gentleman was called, and watched
the little fellow, very much astonished by
all he saw. He gave orders to have it left
where ii was, and the Industrious bea yer

HE SHOT THE WRONG HORSE
Policeman MarkwOOd Made a Mistake
With His Revolver.
Farmer Lauer Wanted a ParalyZed
Animal Killed, But Another Was
Executed Instead.

The policemen of the Ninth precinct have
JOKE OF veteran Mounted Policeman Mark
wood. They state that on last Saturday a
farmernamed Lauer went to Markwood and
stated that he had a paralyzed horse ly-
ing helpless in his fieid and unable to get
upon its feet.
THE animal tan never te cured" said
the farmer, ''and 1 wish you would shoot
him and end his sufferinss.'
Markwood consented, SO the story goes.
and borrowed Policeman Vests revolver
with which to execute the equine. He-pro-
ceeded into the field siuirc, revolver in
hand and in a few moments the crack of
the pistol was heard, followed by Ee:sh
OF pain. Then there was another shot anf.
all was sill. Pretty soon the policeman
came from the field. mounted his horse ard
rode away.
In the meantime Farmer Laucr Went
into the field to take last look at the
remains OF his faithful old friend, the
paral yzed horse. Imagi ne his horror
when he discovered that the sick animal
was alive>and groaning. while some dis
tance away lay the body of his pet, a dash
ing young mare with colt.
hardwood had passed by the clump sof
bushes u which the aged and paralyzcd
horse was lying. and spying the valuable
mare resting ON the turf. bored two holes
through her head with the borrowed
pistol.
Lauer threatened to sue Markwood. but
Rev. DIR. Markham, a friend Of his, hearing
OF the unfortunate occurrence, replaced
the young mare with another OF equal
value.

bership of 100000 out of a probable
total of 100000 of colored population
Making full allowance for the emotional
nature of the colored race, this growth OF
church membership and church property
is most remarkable, when one considers
that nearly the whole of it has been accom-
plished in the period of three decades,
and it denotes Il neral advance on the
part of this part OF the population that
must be gratifying to everybody. In
morals as in physics the whole body is
no stronger than its weakest part, and
whatever, therefore, clevates the colored
race and promotes their material, intel
lectual, and moral well-being must neoes-
sarily profit the entire people. Under IA
vorable conditions the Afro-Anericans have
shown great capacity for adapting them
selves to the requirements of self-govcrn-
ment, and the 5000 of them who will
gather in New York this week for the cele-
bration of the jubilee have good cause
for rejoicing and being proud of what they
