Atchison people are returning from Kan
sas City, and saying that the flower parade
there was not as good as the flower parade
in Atchison. This sort of feeling is worth
great deal to Atchison. If Atchison peo-
pie were telling how nice the Kansas City
flower parade was and how unfortunate
it was that Atchison could not have some
thing like it, that would do the town
harm. Everything that makes the peo-
pie satisfied with the town in which they
live does good. Atchison, Kansas, Globe.
These sentiments are OF general applica-
ton. Every community has its croakers
and prophets of evil, and where their de-
pressing influence is not counteracted by
a loyal and active public spirit happiness
and prosperity will stand aloof. We should
its praises in and out of season. Success
awaits such endeavors; fault finding and
pickering invite failure. Now it is fact
that during the hard times which general
ly prevailed throughout the country as
the result Of Democratic tariff legislation
our own city and section suffered but lit
tie in comparison with other sections.
There was some dimnution of incomes.
and a sympathetic closing of pocketbool1s
produced some congestion of the circulat-
ing medium. But the only industry Grip
pied by the Wilson bill which directly af-
fected our people was the manufacture of
clothing. That has now revived in a meas
ure and is otherwise continued in new di-
rections. While shoe factories all over
New England were failing or shutting
down temporarily our original factory
continued in operation, although with
reduced output. To-day it is running at
its full capacity, and a new factory is
building up large and successful bust
ness. Our city is beautifully and advan-
tageously located, with steam communi-
cation by land and water, has an ample
water supply for domestic purposes and
for protection against fire, gas and cleo
tric plants for lighting and electric power,
system of sewerage, etc. What, then, is
the matter with Belfast?

When wear begins to exceed repair in

When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are going to fall sick. The
signs of it are loss of flesh, paleness, weak
ness, nervousness, etc The repair needed is
food. You think you eat enough, and yet
you feel that you wear out more tissue,
energy, nerve-force, than your food makes
for you. The difficulty is that you do not
digest enough. And this is 50 serious it is
worth sitting down seriously to think about.
If you can't digest what you eat, take few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect of it will be to increase your flesh and
make you feel stronger. You won't fall
sick Proof that it is in control of your
repair apparatus. It's easy enough to test
this for yourself. Take few bottles Of
Shaker Digestive Cordial.

The Los Angeles, Calf, Times recently
issued a mining edition in which the
claim is put forth, and well substantated,
that Los Angeles is the geographical
centre of the most extensive and promis-
ing uldeveloped mining county in the
United States. The Times says:
Within easy reach of this city, in addi-
ton to the seven southern counties, are
the rich mineral fields of Southern Ne
vada. southern Utah, Arizona, Western
New Mexico Sonora, Lower California
and chihuahua. In Southern California
alone there are nearly one thousand
stamps, some seven thousand men engag-
ed in mining, and capital of not less
than $40, 000 900 invested in the mining
industry. Yet beginning has scarcely
been made in the development of our
mineral wealth.
Gold is by no means the only valuable
mineral that is found in Southern Cali
fornia. Among other minerals that exist
there are borax, copper cinnabar, iron,
lead and marble. Little OF nothing has
yet been done in the development of these
deposits.
The public disgust with the fakes and
swindles at the big Maine fairs this year
has been only partially indicated by the
newspapers. An article in the New ork
Weekly Tribune of Oct, 10th, captioned
N'Declne of the Agricultural FAIR
shows that the evils complained of are by
no means confined to this State, but are
general The Tribune writer begins by
saving: There are evidences, indisput-
able evidences, that the agricultural fair,
as such is on the decline in this country
1t is rather huriiating to find the New
England Fair at Portland held up as
''frightful example, the writer testify
ing as an eye witness to the prominence
of takers, gambling wheels and every
device calculated to catch the pennies
and contaminate the mind.'' The Penn
sylvania Fair and the New York State
Fair are shown to be tarred with the same
brush and the Tribune writer pertinent
ly asks, "what is going to be done about
it?" He thinks the press can do very
much by becoming the exponent of a
healthy public sentiment that is and must
be opposed to all such exhibitions as
above outlined. Certainly the States
money should not go to such exhibitions.

A Boston man who visited Washington
county in the berry season made from the
BURBERRY juice a few barrels of wine,
partly as an experiment and partly for
home consumption. He sent few sample
bottles of what he called Bluejay to some
friends in the west who were in the liquor
business and they had it tested by experts,
who pronounced it ''the best brand of
wine on EARTH The Boston man there
upon began the manufacture of the wine
in quiet way in Boston and met with
such success that it is probable he will
remove to Washington county and extend
Ills operations. He estimates that Wash
ington county alone can produce $50, 900
bushels OF bldebelries, which, with the
other ingredients used viii make L. POO

Black Flags Were Hung Out

London, June 22-Midnight
The jubilee was celebrated
in almost all parts of Ireland
with enthusiasm by public off
Gals. decorations, illustrations
and bonhres.
The Parnellites, however,
were very busy with counter
decorations. In Dublin a pro-
cession went through the
streets carrying a black flag
and a coffin labelled 1.-The
British Empire, and smashing
the windows of Illuminated
houses. The city has not been
so thoroughly excited since
the death of Parnell.
This evening a large meet
ing was held in the Dublin
town hall in memory of the
election of 1873 and speeches
were made glorifying the men
who were there and Of that
movement.
At Cork the Nationalsociety
hung out black flags and at
tempted to hoist one on the
municipal flag staff, but the
police interfered.
At Limerick the police re
moved black flags from the

SPECIALIZING IN SUGAR.
Bryan The Favorite.-The Civil
Service Commission.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, June 81, 1897
The sugar trust is playing a
shire wd tariff game To get what
it wants while pretending to
the contrary, aud it is bound
to win. The original Dingley
sugar schedule, which gives the
trust an increase OF four cents
on each hundred pounds over
what it now receives on ninety
six degree sugar, is all the
trust expected TO get from the
beginning. In the first senate
schedule, the increase was made
nine cente and in the schedule
which was last week adopted
by the senate, the increase was
put at ten cents q hundred
pounds. When the bill goes
to conference, the House will
insist upon its sugar schedule
being adopted, with the chan
ees in favor of succeeding. Then
it will he announced with
great flourish of trumpets by
republicans that the sugar
trust has been knocked out,
while the members of the trust
will chuckle over having got as
much as they expected TO got,
besides having made a lot of
money by specializing in sugar
stock while the several sched-
uIes Were pending. Tia IS the
game. Of course The trust
would gladly take ten cents a
hundred increase given in the
senate schedule, OF anything
between that and the four cents
of The House schedule that the
House. conferees can be per
suadtd to give, bat it doesn't

From the Sabine to the Rio

Gulf, such yields of everything
were never known since the
Lone Star arose from the bloody
times of the Alamo. The as
tonishing part Of it is that
Western and Panhandle Texas
are to the front with as great
crops as the northern, middle
and southern portions. There
has not been bucket of wheat
or oats destroyed by storms or
rain in any county, sensational
reports to the contractry. Corn
is made. Cotton is looking
fine. Wagon loads Of ripe
peaches, and all manner of
vegetables and berries aud car
loads of watermelons are offer
ed on the streets every day in
far greater Quantities than can
he sold. The Dallas News
says: "One county in Texas
will produce this year more
corn than Jacobs agents found
