need of a tonic and Alternative is felt,
A prompt use Of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act

The two most detestable characters
in Kansas today are Ex-Governor
Lewelling and the sniveling hypOcrite,

the ten commandments as a bill in

smIrched by the investigating COM

IRRlGArIoN LaGlss.ArIoN.

The National Irrigation Congress, at
 Lincoln, Nebraska, which has just ed-
 jouEned, among other indefinite things it did, empowered the Executive Con-
 mittee to select log rolling committee
 of three "to proceed to Washington to labor for legislation favorable to irriga-
 tion." Now lesislRtion foR irrigation is
 as diversified as the districts to be irri-
 gated and as to whether legislation is
 "favorable" to irrigation OF not depends irrigated rather than upon the opinions of three men. h fsct favorable" leg Islation on the subjso5 of iErig gstion can only be determined by she people own ing and irrigatiug the land of district subject to legislation. Each district must determine it's legislative wants for itself and needa it's own men at the leg isIative centers rather than an uninter- ested "conmistee of three" be they ever so able and iFFigetion-wiee. The fact is that the IrFig asion Congress-, es It hes been usually composed in the past, is impracsioabls in large majority of it's irrigation ideas; is misersbly sheoretio in it's discussions and utterly feiIs to get down to the essential necessities of real irrigation, in sn actually arid Te- gion. Tint Congress in all of it's ses- siopa up to the present time has utterly failed to develop anything that could be considered fer moment in the way of the practicable conservation Of wstsE and handling of it before it gets to she lands to be Irrigated and this is the present one great question in all the Esaliy arid regions
 How to calculate the amount of water necessary to raise torpip end when to epply it, and how much the ditch shall cost to carry ib to that particular turnip ard the tbeoretic effect of more or less water on that 6urnip, are questions for the far future. The question is now how to get the water.

Altitude in Sugar Beet Cultivation.

Altitude in Sugar Beet Cultivation.
 For many years past, in fscs, since the early introduction of She sugar bset it has bsen noticed that bsete culsivas- sd at certain altitude above sea level, in diluvisn soil, are richer and better suited for sugar extraction than the valley OF slluvien soile. The expsri- msnts of DF Hsnamsm Gs Loboeitz sp q others have demonstrated this fact be- yond cavil, she argument being that the roots thus hBvs more air, more di- rect suns rRys, and furthermore do not absorb the sane perceu tege of those elements which subsequently, become difficult to handle in beet euear sktrac- tion. h opposition to this theory are the everyday practical demonstrations in the United States in CahforDia. New Mexico, etc; the beets are all aIluvian beete, yst they gre of exceptional quail fly. The continued hot weather helps sugar elaboration. A question we can not help asking oureelves is, "Whether s3y experiments hsve been made in those very Western States in oulsivat- icg beets st 8 certain altitude above the valley?" There ney be yet further surprises awaiting those interested - The Sugar Beet.

 rsther th sn for a theory Of it's sPplios-
 tion The last Bradstreet's sums up
 she work of ths Congress in the follow
 ing lines:
 "Tblrteen states were represented St
 the meeting Of the National Irrigation Congress, which was held at Ljnco D, Nebraska, this week. After hesFiI 8 number of addresses upon topics coy nate se the work of the congress, at body adopted Fesolu sions declaring th s ! the value of the irrigated farm and he security of the homes shereby created |
 re alike dependent upon the efficieut public control of the water supply and | the preven tion of water becoming g | speculative commodity, sr d thet the | water of all streams should forever Fe | main public property; and, further, tha5 1 the psrpstuasion cf the forests of ihs arid region is essential to the main se nance Of she water supply for irrigatio as we'll as the supply of timber for in dpstriel needs. Is was decided that the President Of the United States be memoFialixed to withdraw from entry or ssls under the act ot Msrch 3, 1894, public.lsnds which are of more value for timber than for agriculture or minerals.

 IT ths Congress had set forth some definite ides of procedure in the matter of public control of water, and for not only the approximation of forests but their practical extension instesd of simply saying that such things "ehould be doUe" it might have been of some use.

HIS POSITION.

President Mckinley hasn't got to ob-
 tain the confidence of the conservative
 people-an overwhelming mejority-of | this country; he has had it for years
 saVned it by his record in Congress and l as Governor of Obio. No man knows
 better than he that his enemies and the enemies of the Republican party have
 been hoping sveF since the day he was
 inang that he would commit this
 Government to some radical policy,
 either domestic OF foreign, that would result in checking the prosperity now so generally spread over the country, by creating a scare. But, from the day he
 was nominated, President Mckinley has firmly believed that bis administration WAS destined to start the people of the country upon an era Of great prosperity, and he has been fulIy determined that it was his duty, duty in harmony with his inclinatione, to Lelp slong prosperity in every possible way, instead of doing anything that would be likely to retsrd ib. His enemies thought he had fallen into their trap when it was cabled from Europe that an ultimatum had been to Spain, but they were badly mistaken. The proposition submitted to Spain wgs peaceable one, intended to help along prosperity in toe United States by bringing abous peace in Cuba and restoration Of the commerce of year we had with the is- land before the present revolution be- gan, as will be seen by the instructions | io Minister Woodford, now made pub | ic. President Mckinley has no ambi- iioa to add any new laurels to hia mili- ,sfy record, but he desires to have his linked in the minds of | he people with good times for every body. believing with most sensible per ons that the triu mphs of commerce nd industry ere much bstter and great IF than the triumphs of war.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 ScrofuIous Humors How Cure Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofuIa on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimpIes which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods SarsapariIla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles Of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned" WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
