What Do They Want?

1t is amusing or disgusting, accord
ing to the condition of ones liver, to
read the popocratic papers and listen
to popocratic sneers about the return
of prosperity. One of them hailed us
on the street and wanted to know if
we did not want to write something
about 'prospayrity," and we hear
such remarks quite often.
What do they expect? We have
had an election and the people have
declared in favor of Republican pol
icy. But Cleveland is president and
the hold-upS have control of the SEN
ate. No change has been made, nor
can be made. for several months. and
it is not certainly known that the
hold-upS will not control the next
senate. Added to this uncertainty is
the possibility. not to say probability
of war, which naturally has a depreSS-
ing effect on business. To make
matters worse, as far as Kansas is
concerned, the pops have assumed
complete control of the state govern
ment, and, while no mortal man
Knows what they will do. no one eX-
prosperity. All is doubt and I'M
certainty. PETER has proclaimed that
the party will not do as bad as has
been expected that it will not carry
out the schemes it has advocated
and upon this rather unstable found
alton the hopes of the people rest.
Under these circumstances sneers at
prosperity come with very i'll grace
from the parties who are responsible
for every evil under which the country
suffers.
There can be no general prosperity
in Kansas until we have good crops.
1t will then depend upon the market.
If we still have to depend upon those
''marketS of the world which the
Democratic administration has given
us, there can be no great change from
the present conditions; but if we can
get protective tariff in operation.
factories started and a home market
established, change for the better
will come. So mote it be.-RuSSell

Sensible
Nursing Bottle.

The common, everyday nurs-
ing bottle is built on poor plan.
1t has but one opening. Through
this the milk is admitted, and
from 1t, through a nipple, the
child struggles to get it out. The
law of physics cannot be ignored
even in so simple a thing as a
nursing bottle. The vacuum left
by the milk must be filed. The
nipple collapses, and to relieve
this the child stops feeding for a
moment. Air rushes into the
bottle, The child starts feeding
again, and repeats the perform
ance until the contents are taken.
The "Best Nurser" is made on
a novel plan. A valve in the
bottom of the bottle admits air
as the contents are taken. The
child feeds easily, without any
danger of wind collie; no collaps-
ing nipple, no worrying, crying
infant. Price % cents.

Tomorrow is Decoration Day, but
as the holiday this year falls on the
Sabbath, to-day will be recognized the
country over instead. Locally this
will probably be the most generally
and longest observed, since the holiday
was inaugurated. So far as the post
office, custom house, banks, depots and
wholesale houses are concerned, to-day
Will be Decoration Day. This will
conflict a great deal with the success
Of the proclamation of our honored
Mayor in asking for the observance Of
Monday. OF course, some Of the bus
mess houses will close for a portion Of
the day on Monday, but the majority
who feel disposed TO close up and give
their employees holiday will do so to-
day.
The depots will be closed all day;
the banks will also be closed and the
wholesale houses will not be open after
noon hour. Tonight the Bimetallic
Club will appropriately celebrate the
day by a public meeting, which will
be addressed by an orator of ability.
Tomorrow the real observance, or the
observance intended in the origination
Of the day, will take place. This will
consist of the custom of decorating the
graves of all eX-Union and eX-Confed-
crate soldiers. This is beautiful Gus
tom and is growing more popular as
the years roll On, for the number of
graves Of those who fought in the late
civil war are greatly increasing.
Sunday is the day set apart for deco
rating of soldiers graves. For this
purpose donations Of flowers are solicit
ted by the members Of the G.. A. r.
School children and other friends of
the soldiers wishing to contribute flow
ers for decorating the graves in ceme-
teries north of the creek will kindly
send them to Odd Fellows hall this
afternoon or evening. All donations OF
flowers. however small, will be thank
fully received. Citizens generally. and
especially the school children, are cor
daily invited to participate in the
Memorial Day exercises on Sunday
afternoon. The members of J. w. Hol-
liday Post. w. r. c., are requested to
be present at their hall this evening
to assist in preparations for Decoration
Day
The details for the various cemeteries
were published in the Register several
weeks ago. The last details for the
observance of the day were completed
at meeting held last evening.
The churches will also take part in
the general observance and many OF the
ministers will deliver memorial SER
vices tomorrow and evening from their
pulpits. On Monday all the depart
ments of the City Building will be
closed in compliance with the Mayors
request. The majority Of those who
do not observe to-day and suspend bus
mess will probably attend the ball
games on Monday morning and after
noon.
