Since 1873 there have been nine cps
ideinics OF dysentery in different
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidemic,
is almost as severe and dangerous as
Asiastic cholera. Heretofore the best
effects of the most skilled physicians
have failed to check its ravages, this
remedy, however, has cured the most
malignant cases, both of children and
adults, and under the most trying
conditions, which proves it to be the
best medicine in the world for bowel
complaints. For sale by all Drug

In the Front Rank.

The Pittsburg Times of May 23,
1896, says of the Bloomsbury State
Normal School:
"Sincc the opening Of the school, 2s years ago.
Il has stood In the front rank rs an institution
OF learning, has advanced and improved with
the times and enjoys a reputation among the
leading educators as a model institution. where
a complete education can bc secured at q small
cost"
The National Educator of March
ii, 1896, says of the same School
"The growth and prosperity OF the schools
have been phenomenal. We vii. briefly enumer.
ate some OF the material changes New furni.
ture came first, then the beautiful auditorium
was modelled. Next the large tour-story Dorml.
tory and gymnasium were built. Electric lights
the new Library. the Elevator and the employ
ees Dormitory and Sanitarum soon followed.
The new Athletic field Is another remarkable
feature Of this growth. In short. the school has
grown 80 wonderfully that those who have not
| visited II in fiye years would be astonlshed TO
see the transformation"
The New Catalogue of this School
can be had by addressing the prin ci
pal, DR.. j. =. Welsh. II is finely il.
lustrated, and has much valuable in
formation for all interested in ed
ucation. Hundreds of men and wo-
men in all parts of the U. s. owe
their success and prosperity to the
fact that they were educated at this
excellent School. The graduates
are found in thirty-one states an.s
territories and in several foreign
vida ,ide;SgJt,Eiies. SJt,Eliies. Undergraduates, o.
re you sit. here have been over ten
ti6HsSud, are still more widely dis.
tributed. The roll of students for
the past year represents twelve diff
ferent states.
All these facts prove that the pub
lie are finding out where the most
and best education for the least
money.

The Generals Visit.

Out through southern Kansas have
crowds been gathering to greet the
Union generals who in non-partisan
way are giving their TESTIMONY for
friend and comrade, Major Mckinley
The thought was a happy one. Who
ever originated the idea of remuster-
ing Sickles, Howard, Sigel, Corporal
Tanner Alger and Stewart and send
ing them them over the country to
speak the sentiments Of their patriotic
old hearts deserves more than cheer
and kindly mention. 1t was an in
spiration. Wherever they 60 there
will be bodies Of their former soldiers
lined up to meet and greet them; men
who will delight to look again into
the faces Of their old commanders and
shake them by the hand; men whose
enthusiasm, though already great,
will be increased, thereby fitting them
for better service during the balance
Of this campaign Of greater import
ance to the government than any
since that which Grant and Sherman
entered upon when the one started
from Chattanooga and the other from
Culpepper, in 1864.

No Government Guaranty.

Here is a fundamental principle Of none
tary science, The bullion value and the
coin value of metal admitted to free coin
age are necessarily the same. When our
mints are reopened to the free coinage of
silver the value Of our silver dollars will be
exactly the same as the value Of an equal
weight Of uncoined silver bullion, whatever
that may be.
No, brother Popocrat, the above is
not from some Republican paper. 1t
is from the columns Of the st. Louis
Republic, leader OF the Popocratic
fight in the West and is an
answer to correspondent. 1t is
an admission that there will be no
guaranty by the nation of the silver
dollars value under free coinage.
1t will be a "cheap dollar" worth
about 81 cents, tuctuating every
day with the value Of silver. The
laborer will be paid in it and suffer.
The merchant will mark up his wares
100 per cent. The rich man will
laugh and grow richer. Do you
want that kind Of money!

Keep It Before Them.

General Tracy, in his recent speech
in New York, summed up the three
great issues involved in the Chicago
platform concisely and accurately.
"The Chicago platform" said he,
declares for Reputation, notification
revolution. To pronounce 80 cents
worth of silver to be a dollar and to
make that legal tender for the pay
ment Of public debt is reputation.
To resolve not to enforce the laws Of
congress when resisted by violence
and insurrection without the consent
of the governor Of the state is nullif-
cation. To reorganize the supreme
court so as to make 1t the registrar Of
the DEGREES of a political caucus is
revolution"
That is plain language which every
one can understand Keep the issues
before the people. The Democratic.
Populistic party in this campaign
stands for reputation, notification
and revolution.

Failure Leedy.

Every little while some Pop paper
feeling that it is necessary to make
some kind Of an excuse for the rant
ing failure it is supporting for COVER
ner says:
1.-The friends Of Mr.. Leedy never
claimed that he was a polished orator
but they do claim that he is practi-
cal businessman"
Now, what are the facts about Mr..
Leedy's practical business recordP
In the Populist supplement issued a
few weeks ago containing sketch Of
Mr.. Leedy we find the following;
"Forsaking agricultural pursuits less
than six years ago because he could
not make living for his family, he
(Leedy) determined to investigate the
causes Of financial depression, and in
so doing, has fought his way to
fame" Splendid Cuisines record
isn't itP Quit work six years ago
"because he couldn't make a living
for his family" and has been talking
politics ever since. Do you want that
kind of a man to rule Kansas? Has
not Kansas had enough Of Pop incom-
petents in office?

What a Contrast!

About the most forceful and truth
full contrast of Bryan and Mckinley
vet made Is this of Senator Thurston
in a speech the other day: What a
contrast between the two candidates
now presented foryour suffrage! One
nominated amid the excitement and
hysteria of emotional frenzy, a tri-
umph Of prearranged spectacular and
oratical red fire. a nomination not
thought Of an hour before and regret
ted an hour after. The other nomi-
mated in obedience to the ripened and
deliberate demand of the people
themselves, whose spontaneous up
rising in his behalf attested and en-
phasized their belief in the principles
Tor which he stands and their sincere
confidence in the ability, integrity,
patriotism and craftsmanship OF the
man. One notified, in accordance
with his own request, in that
great show garden Of New York city
designed expressly for circuses,
menageries, horse fairs, dog shows
and chrysanthemum exhibitions,
amid the blare OF trumpets, the glare
Of electric lights and the incessant
tramp of disappearing hosts; the other
at his own humble firesfde in an
transformations manner, the simple
ceremonies witnessed only by his FAM
lily and immediate friends One now
steeplechasing through the country
in a mad scramble for place and
power, fearful that some elector NAV
escape the witchery of his silver
huted voice; the other dignifed, as
BELTS the exalted place to which he
worthily aspires, trustfully and calm
ly waits in his own home while the
nation comes to him. One has select
ed for his arena the sand lots-his
appeals are to the passions and
prejudices Of men. The forum of the
other is an American dooryard; his
rostrum is the perch Of an American
cottage; his words, simple and force
ful, are addressed to the intelligence,
the conscience, the patriotism and
the common sense Of q brave. thought
ful, just and hopeful people.

Why Delay a Good Thing9

revival Of good times. But inside Of
20 years we will certainly have estab-
lished a financial system that will

Now, all who are in favor of wait
ing 20 years for the return of "good
times" will please stand up and bt
counted. Especially when we can
have "good times" right away by

Oyermeyer said Saturday that the
Republican party proposes II success
full to wipe out all silver money and
have nothing but gold. That kind Of
falsehood may suit George Living
ston and that class Of people but
those who think and are informed

making it. The Republican party
has put in circulation in 20 years ten
times as much silver as this nation
had attained in all the so years pre-.
ceding, and kept every dollar at par.
That is the kind of silver party the

the forest and worth about as much.

Which Do You Want?

This county has creamery interests
that are among the most important
in it. These are the result OF much
effort and expense on the part Of the
farmers. The restoration of good
times and giving Of the workmen
something to do means that they can
pay better prices for their butter and
it means that there will be a cores
ponding increase in the returns of the
farmers Of this county. The election
Of Bryan means the paralyzing of all
industries for the present and prob
ably for many years. The manufac-
turerers will shut down the few mills
now running (the remainder having
been closed by the present Democratic
administration and will wait to see
what will happen. This will reduce
the already depressed market and the
farmers Of this county will be out
that amount Of money. Is that what
you want, or do you want to have a
better market and better prices be-
cause the workmen will have some

Sneering at the Veterans.

Dave Overmeyer Incorporated into
his speech Saturday a slur and sneer
at the generals who have been speak
ing in Kansas. 1t was noticeable that
! bis unmanly remarks on this subject
were coldly received except by a few
cranks who were too cowardly 10 face

the line until it was over. Not one
Of the grayhaired boys with little
bronze buttons in their coat lapels
applauded. No veterans who used
to eight nit Sigel." battle with
Howard or face the rebel guns with
Alger cheered. No, the voices Of
their old commanders reach farther
into their hearts than the rantings OF
Overmeyer who changes principles
every year, the same as he does his
coat. Those sneers at the veterans
are characteristic OF the Democratic
party. That party elected four years
ago a president who dare not show
his face in a 6. A. K. encampment,
whose boast is that he vetoed more
pension bills than all the other presi-
dents Of the nation. 1t has now NOM
mated this man Bryan who has no
sympathy whatever with the veterans
cause as bis own expressions only a
few years ago show
The next session Of congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
1856, 100000. This is on account Of
pensions. The appropriations for
pensions for the next year must not
be less than 100000, 600 1t is there
fore easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that congress must
make for pensions next session must
aggregate not less than 1886, 100000.
This tremendous sum would in itself
be enough to run a reasonable gov
eminent. One would not complain IL
1t were an honest debt, but a large
proportion is not debt, because it was
never earned by any act Of patriotism
or heroic service. The government
is held up and despoiled Of no mean
portion Of this, and it seems helpless
to defend itself. One cannot help be-
ing curious to know how many more
years it will take to exhaust the gen.
Grafton which feels itself injured by
the war It's safe to say that never
did a generation display such remark
able longevity.
The veteran OF the late war who so
far sinks his manhood as to vote for
the Bryan Reputation anarchistic-
Leedy combination deserves to hang
his head with shame. He comes
pretty near FORGETTING the respect Of
his comrades and they are not to be
blamed il they doubt little his 10y

William J. Bryan pirates much Of
the ''plain people, who he says are
with him. He also says he is "a man
of destiny" and that the Lord has

Let us see the kind Of "plain people"

On September 10 the county con-
yention OF the Democratic party was

with the number Of reputable men
who participated in this caucus OF

buns, thugs and ex-criminals OF every
degree Of guilt, from pocketpicking
to murder, was simply appalling.
