prediction He asserts that Dickin-

it knows what to do with this season,
and that the crops will be the largest

-Concordia Daylight: Phil Lucier
went to Abilene Tuesday morning,
where he will open tailor shop.
Phil has been in Concordia good
many years, and has many friends
here who always will be glad to hear
Of his prosperity. As tailor he is a
hummer, an excellent workman and
an all around good fellow, and the
Daylight can heartily recommend him
to the people of Abilene.
There is too much worry about
poor Henry Winteroth, ye amorous
farmer Of Fragrant Hill. Henry got
a divorce at the last term OF court.
OF course it don't become absolute for
five months yet. But he couldn't
wait and married Mrs. Reich two
weeks ago, then again this week ac-
cording to the Kansas City papers,
married her again down in Missouri.
He is 60 years old and no doubt feels
lonely. The widow he married is 45
and no doubt is willing to make him
happy. He is probably willing to
marry her few more times to bind
the bargain. Let Henry enjoy bis
declining days.

ulated by the nerves, and when these
vital tissues become fatigued and bad
|ly nourished, the bad effect is seen
in failing digestion, distressing, ring
ing sounds in the ears, dizzy spells,
depression, neuralgia and lassitude.
Spring days afford every one the OPP
portunity for for shaking off old weak
nesses and persistent disorders.
Physicians Of every school have
been from the start urged to inquire
into the formula of Paine's celery
compound, that they might satisfy
themselves of its wonderful power Of
making the sick well. Prof. Edward
Z. Phelps, M. d., LII. D., as soon as
he presented Paine's celery compound
to his fellow physicians, was always
anxious to have the invigorator tried
| IN cases that had resisted the usual
methods of treatment, that he might
prove the truth Of every claim made
for his newly discovered formula for
Paine's celery compound. The great
remedy always gave relief, and in 80
cases out Of 100 made people well.
Paine's celery compound cannot be
Judged by the standard Of any ordi-
nary medicine, sarsaparilla or nerve
tonic. 1t is great modern, scientific
discovery, singularly unlike any rem
edial agent that has ever aimed to
effect similar purpose-to make
people well.
Paine's celery compound is the one
real spring remedy known today that
never fails to benefit. Get Paine's
celery compound, and only Paine's
celery compound if you wish to be
well.

Will Help Kansas.

The immigration association which
D. W. Blaine, an Abilene old timer,
is booming in the city is getting outa
booklet that will do Kansas much
good in the East where 1t will be
gratuitously distributed.
The book will have about 250 pages
neatly bound and very attractive. 1t
is well stocked with information
about Kansas, her resources and ad-
vantages as well as historical sketches
Of the State and her cities. There
are complete sketches Of the State in
situations, Of the State officials and
other prominent people, as well as
scores Of pages Of all kinds Of data.
One feature Of the book is collec-
ton Of articles on Kansas written BY
some Of the most prominent men in
the State. Among them are: John
J. Ingalls,, Governor Morrill,, Judge A.
H. Horton, Secretary Coburn, Tom
Potter, Henry Booth, Geo. W. Click,
T. A. Hubbard, S. 7. Howe, Chancel-
Tor Snow, President Taylor of the
State Normal, Superintent Stanley,
Eugene Ware, j. G. Waters and
score OF others.
1t would be difficult to enumerate
any kind of subject in connection
with the State not touched upon in
this book. 1t will be out some time
next month and will form valuable
addition to the historical literature Of
the State. The scheme originated
with Secretary Edwards and he has
worked hard to make the book sue
cess, as it undoubtedly will be.

of taking paine's celery compound,
now It's spring, to restore their spent

Some of the earliest good results
noticed from taking Paine's celery

is regularity of the bowels, better
