they were all industrious, and the hard
ships they endured in their early set

the memory Of all the early settlers who
know them. The boys all fnally came
to Girard, and blended their lives with

Mystery Made Clear.

Girard, Kan, Oct. 11.-This ordinar-
lily quiet town was the scene Of quite a
little furry Of excitement the other
morning by the disclosure that during
the might the Office Of C. Hitz, the pro-
prfetor of Girard mills, the Office OF the
GlEBrd foundry and the Office OF the
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
depot had each been broken into and the
cafes in each blown open and robbed
OF their contents. No clue as yet has
been obtained as to the guilty parties.
It Is being Investigated.
It il a singular fact, however. that
this city has for several years been the
scene Of many depredations committed
by night. There was similar excite
ment some two or three years ago dur
ing the time that the gambling element
held sway at this place and during the
full bloom period OF the Kansas drug
store privilege. There then lived here
a young man who was engaged in the
insurance and real estate business. His
name was Ed Phillips and he disappear

Miss Morse is deservedly popular
among our college students. She stands
as a sort OF an oracle and a general ref
cree in all affairs, and has The happy
faculty of entering into the feelings Of
the stduents. She also makes them real
ize that in the class room, she upholds
the recommendation which Boston edu-
cation gave her, OF being one of the
best Of disciplinarians. and OF impart-
ing SO much life and enthusiasm to her
classes that even dull subjects become
interesting.
By the wayne have just been in
formed that Miss Morse was one OF two
students who led the class at the Chi
cage university, last summer. We have
run across many quite important items
as to u college professor, since we be-
came a newspaper writer and shall
publish them all in due time, for it Is
mete that the citizens should know OF
the high standing Of the efficient men,
bers of the university faculty. 1t re-
quires some little diplomacy on our part
to procure these facts, as our professors
are not given to making their accom-
plishments known.

There are many roundabout ways Of
trying to cure rheumatism, also, but
the safest, the surest way-because the
most direct way-is to correct the &C.
ton of the Kidneys by taking DODD'S
KIDNEY PILLS.
Were we to tell you Of people in far
away states who have been thus cured,
you might doubt it. But can you doubt
the testimony of people living in this
immediate vicinity who step up and are
counted among the multitude who have
been made well and happy by DODD'S
KIDNEY PILLS?
