ALONG the line of the various ru-
mors concerning Cuba and the policy
Of this country bringing about a war,
q prominent writer who expresses
great sympathy for Cuba, says:
think that our nation is in danger
Of becoming involved in a war in
which we should have against US, &C.
lively or otherwise, the government
Of every European nation which owns
islands and colonies on this side the
Atlantic, and with naval power suffi.
cient--if they choose to exercise it
to sink or drive every American ship
on the ocean, and take possession oi
Or blockade every American harbor
Suppose this to happen, what would
be the effect on our savings banks
insurance companies, and thousand
other forms of investment?-and with
no foreign market for our products,
and no revenue from importations,
how would our government get money
to pay our enormous pension list, and
sustain great armies, and build and
equip Notifications to protect our
thousands of miles of Atlantic and
Pacific seaboard?
What splendid chance we should
give the monarchical governments of
the Old World to show their love for
the Republic and for the political
knaves and fools who seem to be so
costantly and Extensively seeking to
plunge our nation into war.

offices of Sheriff, Probate Judge, Coal
Oil Inspector and Excise Commission
er of st. Louis and certain other
offices. This recommendation of the
Governor has a business ring which
cannot fail to command the hearty
approval of both Legislature and peo-
pie. 1t has an appropriate illustration
of business administration.
"The system of fixed compensation
should suppIant the fee system when
ever practicable. Congress at its last
session, after stubborn contest,
abolished the fee system as applied to
the United States marshals and at
torneys and provided instead definite
salaries. This act has been in
operation but little more than six
months and already it is obvious that
the administration of justice is fully
as ample and efficient as under the
old system, and at an estimate yearly
saving of about S2,25O,000 The fee
system should go, and I am sure that
all parties will recommend this man
ly, business like recommendation of
the Governor"

To Put On

needed flesh, no matter how you've
lost 1t take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi.
cal Discovery. 1t works wonders.
BY restoring the normal action Of the
deranged organs and function, it builds
the flesh up to safe and healthy
standard-promptly, pleasantly, and
naturally. The weak, emaciated, thin,
pale and puny are made strong,
plump, round and rosy. Nothing so
effective as a strength restorer and
flesh maker is known to medical
science; this puts on healthy flesh, not
the fat of cod liver oil. 1t rouses every
organ of the body to activity, purifies,
enriches and vitalizes the blood so
that the body feels refreshed ana
strengthened. II you are too thin,
TOO weak, too nervous, it may be that
the food ASSIMILATION IL at fault. A
certain amount Of bile is isnecessary for
the reception Of the fat foods in the
blood. Too often the liver holds back
this element which would help diees-
ton. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery stimulates, tones mn and
invigorates the liver, nourishes The

quire.

A POPULIST LAW COMING.
To Make a Man Sell Land at Price
Fixed by the Court.
From the Kansas City Times.


TOPEKA, KAN, Jan. ia practical
illustration of Chief Justice elect
Frank Doster's theory, that sthe
rights of the user are paramount to
the rights of the owner" is to be made
in the Legislature this winter.
Henry Mclean, Judge Doster's law
partner, has prepared bill providing
for the sale of lands not used as home
steads upon demand of those desiring
such lands for homestead purposes.
Should the bill become law, no per-
son in the State of Kansas would be
able to hold more land than he could
occupy and use, that is, if any other
person having family desired to take
homestead out of the surplus and
had money enough to pay for it.
The bill provides that whenever
man seeking homestead serves up
on a man holding more land than he
can occupy and use a declaration in
writing, duly verified, that he is cit
izen of the United States, and of the
State of Kansas; that he is the head
of family and does not own home
stead, and that his wife does not own
a homestead, and that he wants to
buy for homestead purposes tract of
land, not more than 100 acres in the
country, or not more than one acre in
town, held but not used by the man
served with the declaration, it shall be
the duty of the latter to sell the prop
erty.
The homestead seeker must make a
tender of the sum of money he thinks
the land is worth; if the price does
not suit the owner he may refuse to
accept the offer. The homestead
seeker may then commence an action
in the district court to compel the land
owner to make the conveyance, de- |
posting the amount of the tender and
10 per cent. additional with the clerk. |
The cause shall be tried by jury, as
in other causes, and if the jury finds
that the facts set forth in the petition |
and in the declaration are true, 1t shall
decide in favor of the plaintiff, and it |
shall also be the duty of the jury to fix
the value of the land.
If the jury finds the value OF the
and to be more than the amount ten
1ered, or finds against the plaintiff on
the facts, the plaintiff shall pay the
costs. If the jury, in addition to find
ng for the plaintiff, finds the value
more than the tender and the plaintiff
ails to pay the difference, the plaintiff
hall pay all costs.
Women who are the heads of fami-
les are to have the same rights under
he proposed laws as men.

ORDERED TO SHOOT TO KILL.
Express Messengers and Train Guards
Will be Paid $1,000 for Each Train
Robber They Kill.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Express and rail-
road managers have sent to messen-
gers and train guards letters instruct
ing the men to shoot to kill in each
case where robbery is clearly the in
tent of anyone that interferes with
the running of train. A cash reward
of $500 is held out for each robber shot
but not killed, and $1,000 for every
dead robber.
The most improved pattern of re-
peating rifles and riot gums have taken
the place of arms of less deadly and
rapid execution. Cars are also being
built with an eye to more resistance
against the onslaught of train robbers.
Floors and sides are reinforced with
iron plates, and doors are made heav-
Ter and with stronger fastenings.

KIDNEY TROUBLES,

The kidneys cleanse the blood and
on their activity depends the health
of the body. If the liver becomes so
torpid that it interferes with the
work of the kidneys the body suffers
and dropsy results. The most valua-
BILE feature in the curative effect of
PRICKLY ASH BITTERs is its stimulat-
ing influence on the kidneys. 1t heals
and strengthens the organs 80 that
they resume their blood cleansing
and urine gathering functions, puri-
fies and regulates the liver, tones up
the stomach and digestion, and by a
mild yet thorough cathartic effect, all
poisons and bilious impurities in the
bowels are driven out. 1t quickly re-
stores strength and health. Sold by
@. A. Buckner.

How to Kill a NeWspaper,

The following recipe for bringing
about the demise of local newspaper
is offered by the editor of a western
paper
"Just let the subscription go. It'f
only a dollar or two-the publisher
doesn't need it.
"If he asks for it, get as mad as you
can, and tell him to stop it-you never
read it anyway. Then go and borrow
your neighbor's.
"When the reporter comes, always
be busy. Make him feel as if he were
intruding. When the advertising and
job man comes, tell him you don't
need to advertise-everybody knows
you; that you will try and get along
without any printed stationery-it is
too expensive; you must economic.
"Never drop in and see the editor
unless you want free complimentary
notice or lengthy obituary tor a be-
loved relative. Never recommend the
paper to anybody. When you do
speak of it, say, 'Yes, we have a little
