My Dear Sir-Immediately after your
election hauled on my Sunday suit and
started down town, fully determined 10
strike you for JOB.
Thad not got two blocks from home be-
fore my courage began TO fail. 1t kept
getting lower and lower, and by the
time reached the corner of Main and
Douglas it had got plum down into my
boot-tops.
Standing on that corner. facing east
ward, courage in my boots, / there re-
solved that the bee in the upper story
of my new Derby could continue 10 buzz
for the time being at least. But owing
to the low price OF potatoes at digging
time, and winter setting in early, my
financial condition is nothing to brag on;
and being the head end of a family, Il
now behooves me 10 get down 20 rustling
in dead earnest.
Therefore, i'm the interest of economy,
l would suggest to your honor that soms
changes would be of advantage TO me
and no doubt would add strength 10 the
administration.
You have a street superintendent, a
sewer superintendent, fire superintend-
ent and dam superintendent on the Lit.
tie river. Now if ali these superintend-
ents were asked TO resign and / was ap-
appointed general boss at a good salary,
what a great saving could be made to
the city.
/ may not be correctly informed as to
the titles OF those bosses, but as 1 am the
head end Of a family no man can sue
cessfully deny the right OF his fellow citi-
zen to make a desperate effort to keep
the Wolf al a reasonaol distance from

If this application for job as general

"A Cancelled Mortgage Exhibit.
Mr.. E. S. Tucker, formerly in business
in this city, arrived here yesterday. He
is now the commercial agent for the
Kansas exhibit Of the Trans Mississippi
and International exposition which is TO
De held in Omaha from June to Novem-
Der, 1898 Kansas" said Mr.. Tucker
the Mississippi river to the Pacific coas,
that did not make an appropriation in
order to be represented at the exposition.
In order that Kansas may make an exhi
bition in keeping with all things which
are undertaken by KanSanS, 1t was de-
cided 10 draw $4,000 from the different
counties in the state, the amount to be
proportionats TO the assessed valuation
The amount levied against Sedgwick
county is S761, and the Commercial club
have agreed TO raise this amount To ac-
compiish this result the club has appoint
and David Smyth as a committee TO at
tend to all that will be required
Mr.. Tucker says that the exposition
will be the largest thing Of lis kind with
the exception of the Worlds Fair that
has ever been given in this country, ex-
ceiling even the Centennial. There has
been 1 900 square feet reserved for the
Kansas exhibit, which is valued at $1,000.
Colorado has reserved 1900 feet. There
has been raised s2,0OO.O00 to erect the
buildings and rent the grounds. The
states Of Illinois and Wisconsin are
having state buildings constructed. All
OF the structures are now nearing CON-
pletion and are marvels Of architectural
beauty.
The one thing that will attract more
attention to Kansas than any other is
the car load Of cancelled mortgages
which will be on exhibition. The idea
enlanated from the mind of Representa-
tive Charles Harris Of Emporia. All Of
the eastern press nave through their col
u.nns called attention to the unique idea.
Every one Of the 10o counties will con-
tribute their cancelled mortgages, which
win have good effect on all of the cas-
ern people who visit the exposition.

The Precarious Condition of Prof.
A. H. kye.
A Prominent Iowa Educators Painful Experience as Re.
lated by Him to a Newspaper Nan.
From the Gazette, Cedar Falls, Iopd.

The la grippe, that dread disease that had
such a run throughout this country three and
four years since, left many who were pre-
viously in robust health with shattered con-
situations and seemingly confirmed inyalids.
Prof. A. III. Nye, living at No. $500 Olive
Street, Cedar Falls, Iowa, was among the
number left by the disease in a precarious
condition, his nervous system shattered. and
with a general debility of his entire system ;
no strength, feet and limbs badly swollen. in
fact, he was almost helpless. Prof. Nye is a
native of New York State, having come west
in 1sS6-a healthy, robust man. He is O. school
teacher by profession, having served as coun-
ty superintendent of schools of this BLACK
Hawk county, several terms, and he has
the respect of all with whom he comes in con-
tact. His helpless condition called forth
the sympathy of the entire community. He
tried the best medical skill procurable, and
spent most of his ready means in the vain
endeavor to recover his health, and had
about given up completely discouraged. He
had stopped taking treatment, being fully
convinced in his own mind that there was
no help for him, and that he would have TO
spend the balance of his days as an invalid,
a burden TO family and friends. Some one
who had heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
spoke to him about them and urged his Civ
ing them a trial. His poor success with
eminent physicians made him skeptical and
he had no faith in what was called proprie-
