Between 1000, 600 and 1000 600 pills Of
one kind or another are estimated to be
daily consumed in the United Kingdom.
The estimates are based on the actual daily
sales by druggists of ordinary pills, pre-
sOription pills and patent medicine pills.
The average of these estimates, which
came in from all parts of the country,
showed that the daily consumption was
considerably over 5000, 900, which would
give one pill per week to every man, won

After we had gone to press last
Thursday evening, the news reach
ed our ears of terrible occurrance
in town, and as usual there were q
lot of women at the bottom of the
whole thing. We understand that
a whole swarm of them got to-
gether, and after some chattering
over matters, they marched up to
the Methodist parsonage and gave
the preacher and his family the
worst pounding they ever caught
in their lives. No one here, how
ever, has the least bit of sym pathy
for Brother Anders, for it is gen.
orally admitted that he needed
what he got, and we warn him now
that, should he be returned here
another year and conduct himself
as he has this year, the dose will
be repeated, if not doubled. We
heard some one say that the good
things to eat they left lying around
up there were sufficient to give the

Mr.. w. j. RAYMOND Killed.

Converse on the Kay Gee road last
Sunday night.
The killing was done by Mr.. Lee

shotgun, eighteen buckshot strik-
ing Mr.. Ramon. 1t is said the

Burckett did his best to avoid a

men with their families. Nor was
this all. Even when the mode of
conveyance was buggies, hacks,
wagons and carts, this lake afford
ed amusement, sport and outing
for men, women and children who
resorted there, some days at a
time.
Could the necessary interest be
aroused in the project now, it
would afford far Yaster resort for
family outings by virtue of the
fact that it could be reached by
rail ovee the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf road. It would be-
come a veritable summer resort
indeed. This road is not there

cause it would afford quite a pay

Honorabiy Discharged-Vindicat
The PROGRESS takes pleasure in
publishing the following card:
MIR. AKENBLATT's DISCHARGE.
1t is very gratifying to Mr.. Andy
Akenblatt's friends to know that
he has been honorably discharged
from a prosecution founded on
nothing more than the suspicion
If a man who values character so
iighny that he must weigh it in
the balan,e against few paltry
dollars claimed TO be missing
from his cash drawer. 1t was Mr..
Akenblatt S misfortune to have
entered the house Of such a man,
even on business.
The direct cvidedce showed,
conclusively, that it was impossi-
BILE for him to have been the petty
thief and the circumstantial evil
dence surrounding the case was so
strong that no one in the court
room could entertain for a mo-
ment an idea of guilt.
The testimony Of so many
creditable witnesses as to their
abiding faith in his honesty was
even more convincing.
We, his many friends in this
city, desire to testify to our I'M
swerving faith in his honor and
integrity. We have known him
for years, have trusted and will
trust him implicitly. We believe
him to tbe one of Gods noblest
works. an honest man.
MANY FRIENDS
We do not know that we are ac-
quainted with Mr.. Akenblatt, but
we are with a number Of his friends
and on their account for one thing
we take an interest in the matter.
And again, we read of the pre-
liminary trial, and thought Mr..
had suffered great in
Justice and believe there should
be some redress granted. This
seems to us good case for a
charge Of assault and battery, false
or perjury.

and selfish desire to conquer and

No citizen, worthy of the name,
can afford to treat the subject of
books lightly. AS public schools
are common means of education
to the pubic veal, so is a public
library the source Of culture which
interweaves its doctrines into the
system Of .oui moral condition and
builds character, enobling and sub

We have in oNr city a splendid
