Tugaloo, Lambert's impressions were
that the vending Of intoxicating drinks
was the principal industry, as there
were three saloons TO one store devoted
TO general merchandise which estnb-
!ishmcnt, painted white and with an air
of prosperity and flock OF cotton bales
around II, bore the sign OF l, Cohen. and
told pathetically that the pioneers of n
relentless md one-sided trade had al
ready made their Judgment in the midst
OF helpless community.
1t was sunrise, and not q soul was ap-

decided in favor Of the mule.
A short walk brought him to the side
OF the arostrate creature, and long
pull induced his muleship to stagger to
his feet, but in his struggles he snapped
the old headstnll, and the remnant of
the bit and bride dropped into the dust.

State Temperance Union Issues Manifesto

Topeka, Kan, July 6.-The execu.
tive committee Of the State Temper
snce union yesterday issued the fol-
lowing manifesto:
To oil Friends Of Good Citizenshiyt The
onncers and the executive committee of the
State Temperance union would respectfully
but earnestly urge that the utmost attention
DO given everywhere throughout tho state u
the coming primaries 10 the nomination OF the
very best men for the county officers and espe-
cially for sheriff A candidates declaration,
taken by itself, is not sufficient II his record
a. citizen. or rs public oficcr In case
no has held ONCE, Is not good, no
IL not safe man 10 receive
tho suffrage and support OF good
citizens The man who has betrayed public
confidence once Is likely to do II again. Prom
ises nrc easily made, but they arc easily
broken Sec TO II that the man who receives
your support has q record worthy your support
Surely Kansas has had enough Of recrcancy TO
public trust Is II not time that good citizens OF
oil parties give moro attention at the primaries
and ut the polls to the character Of the man who
asks their suffrage, Can we hope for any ma-
tcrial or permanent improvement In tho en-
forcement Of the law until majority OF the
voters feel stronger sense OF responsibility at
the primaries and oct accordingly
We believe that Of late. In almost every part
OF tho state, more interest is being shown In
good municipal government than formerly. In
many localities the citizens arc moving In Q
united and determined effort against law
lcssness. A Joint or u drug store barroom has
not one whit more right TO exist than IN open
saloon. None Of these Is necessary evil, and
any one Of them Is IN enemy Of the home, foe
to society, and menace to good govern
mcnL Any sane man must know that TO
license any evil Of this kind is, In the end,
IN expensive luxury. The moral sense OF tho
community Is thereby degraded. Crime and
paupcrlsm thrive under license system, and
taxation Is increased. The barroom, whether
the openly licensed saloon or the Illegally fined
joint, is the recruiting station OF vice and po-
ltical corruption.
The summer temperance rallies which have
thus far been held have had good local results
Let these be continued In every county In the
state, and let there be greatly increased dill
gcncc and activity along all lines OF temperance
and good citizenship

wounds In every bale.
The red soil, showing here and there
through the scant and wlthered herb
age, was scanned with mule and wheel
tracks, and q few rods away broken
down farm wagon lay with spoke
bristling hub close by its shattered axle,

against one OF the charred timbers.
The southwark view was limited to q
long, low ridge Of ugly, white-necked
cotton stalks. Eastward the sun was
breaking pathway through the fringe
Of trees along another ridge, and faint
line OF mist, rising sluggishly in the in
tervening low ground, with the hollow
rumble OF the train crossing IN invisible

slow-moving stream. Westward the

were scattered.

on the siding with wide-opened doors,
and some household goods doomed In
plain sight. "There Is more honesty
In this community than the United
Statesmarshnl would give us to believe"
thought Lambert, us he recalled the cx-
tract from recent report which was
shown him ut department headquarters.
He laid his sntchel and sword upon the
platform, and, wrapping his blue cir
GUAR about his shoulders, took a few
steps forward and n peep into the in
terror Of the chr. From the midst Of

Beyond the Cur stood a dusty open
square Iordered on three sides by dingy
wooden structures, some Of two stories,

Sound Reasons for Approval.

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the
public prefer Hostetter's Stomach Btters
above the ordinary cathartics. II does not
drench and weaken the bowels, but assists
rather than forces nature to net; it is
botanic and safe; its action is never pre-
coded by an internal earthquake like that
produced by drastic purgative. For forty.
live years past it has been q household
remedy for liver, stomach and kidney
