Kansas is always an extremist, if I may
use the word. When times arS good she

II worse than any other state. She bor-
rowed more money than any state during
the hard times, and is paying Ii off faster.

toundergo the operation of ovariotomy,
the cutting out of the ovary.
Yes, you will recover, at least hope
you will; but you will never be quite
the same woman again. Congestion Of
the oyaries is fatal to health. If you
have any such symptoms be advised
in time take a medicine of specific

than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

the needs Of woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggists.
Following we publish q letter from
a woman in Milwaukee, which relates
how she was cured Of ovarian trouble:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-I suffered with
congestion of the ovaries and infamma-
ton of the womb. Ihad been troubled
with suppressed and painful menstrua-
ton from girl. The doctors told me
the ovaries would have to be removed.

an operation, but still remained in mis-
cradle health in both body and mind, ex-
pecting to part with my reason each

Twas very much relieved. continued
. to use your remedies until cured. The
last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This, know, I owe

BRYAN DAY AT WICHITA.
The Boy Orator Proves n Great At
traction at the State
Fair.

Wichita. Kas., Oct 1.-tSpecial.) This was
Bryan day at the state fair and the famous
Nebraskan drew the largest crowd in the
history of that organization. The attend
ance from outside the town is estimated at
from $4,000 to 40 900. From the moment Mr..
Bryan arrived on an early morning train he
has been accorded a continuous ovation. At
the fair grounds he was preceded by Con-
gresham Jerry Simpson. Mr. Bryan said:
1.-THE bimetailic standard is not an expert
ment in this country. For eighty years We
had a bimetallic standard without any
party opposing it. From the time when
this nation in 1892, adopted the bimetallic
standard, down to 1873. when it abandoned
it, there never was a political party IN any
national convention that ever condemned
the bimetallic system. Can you show me
another policy that has lived for twenty
five years and never been condemned by
any national convention? The Americans
lost bimetallism without their own action
and consent. We are trying to restore BIZ
metallism without the aid or consent of
any other nation
Mr.. Bryan declared that the events i'm
mediately following the election of Nc
Kinley indicated every claim made by the
Democratic party He said that within the
first few months after the election there
were more business failures than in any
corresponding months for a number OF

RAIN NEEDED TO CHECK FIRE.
Prairies and Woods Ablaxe in Wis.,
cOnsin and Indiann-ChicngO
Suburbs in Danger.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 1.-Kenosha coau.y
is in danger of being burned out unless
rain falls soon. Extensive prairie fires have
been raging for the past two days in the
town of Somers. Large quantities of hay
and other materials have been destroyed.
while acres of grass, corn, stubble and
fences have been destroyed. The progress
of the flames seems to be slow but steady.
So far the damage will reach into the
thousands of dollars.
Huntington Ind, Oct. 1.-Forest fires in
the south part of this township are doing
great damage. The timber and meadows
are so dry that the fires burn with great
rapidity and cover large areas of ground
in a short time. Fire has been raging
Hereby for three days in the forests. and
there appears no way of checking it.
Crowds of farmers are out with plows tear
ing up the ground around farm houses and
buildings to prevent the fires from reach
ing and destroying them. The dense smoke
that raises from the forest fires is almost
unbearable.
Chicago, Oct. Suburban towns to the
west of Chicago are in danger of prairie
fires. Little or no rain has fallen for sew
eral weeks and the tall prairie grass is dry
and infiammable as tinder. If a, prairie fire
should spring up in the immense fields that
encompass Berwyn, Clyde, Morton Park
Lyons. Riverside and the other villages
that dot this district. the danger of an ex-
tensive conilagration would be great. Fa-
Cilities for fighting flames in that district
are meager.

.CARLIsTs PREPARING TO RISE.
Spain Likely to Have Troubles Mt
Home More Serious Than Those
in Cuha

London, Oct. 2-The Daily Mail in its
special article this morning on the Spanish
situation, says:
1.-The symptoms of Carlist agitation are
every day becoming more manifest and at
tracing the attention of the Spanish gov
ernment. Carlist emissaries are visiting
the provinces of Navarro and Castellon
where the party has its strongest support
ers.
There is the best reason for believing
that the signal for rising will soon be
given. The revolt will probably occur in
Navarro or Castellon; and the population
of the Basque provinces is also ready to
rise.
1.-The Carlist press has changed its tone,
and now hints that Don Carlos may inter-
vene. At the same time. it is asserted that
a Carlist company has entered into a con-
tract with the republic of Andore under
which the company is granted the priei-
lege of manufacturing. arms and explo-
sives within the territory of the republic
The bishop of Urgel. one of the suzeranes
of the republic, is reputed to be stanch
