MAY WEATHER.

Opening with new moon. expect
warm weather during the first few
days, followed by very low barome-
ter and storms about 4th to 9th.
These storms will be followed by
cool nights. The Sih, 9th aud 10th
will be central danger days. Watch
all storm indications, especially
barometer readings. However wild
and dangerous the clouds may ap-
pear, there is very little danger un.
less the barometer falls very low.
The barometer will no doubt fall
very low, but proper observation
and Caution will afford safety at
the critical hours. y cool wave will
follow this period. Storms about

BANTER SPRINGS, KAN. May l3.

DEAR SIR: Inasmuch as you have
selected me as victim of your po.
litical spite | would like to ask you
few questions:
How much does the little Shaw.
nee pay you for harrassing the old
line insurance companies!
Do you imagine you are another
Judge Jeffries. or simply stump.
tail representative of your Pump
kin Creek constituency:
Do you think il is necessary for q
renegade Republican to make an
ass of himself ON every occasion in
order to find favor with the "toiling
masscs:"
Do you honestly think the bust.
ness men and property owners of
Kansas can be bulldozed into plac.

one-horse cross roads company!
Will they, at your dictum, give up
the Etna, Home, Phoenix and 9TH
ers with assets of from five to ten
millions, for Western companies
whose assets consist chiefly of re.
pudiated bonds and gallr
Oh no! Mr.. McNall! When peo-
pie insure, they want insurance,
and they want the best. You may
do a fine business on the "shacks'
aud "soddies" of Western Kansas,
but we have some valuable prop
erty in Cherokee county and the
owners want protection.
You are undoubtedly doing your
best to drive capital from the state
and reduce all citizens to pauper-
ism aud despair, which Is the pol
icy of your party. but do not be-
lieve you have the power to deprive
US of sound insurance. There is
nothing in the Kansas statutes pro-
hibiting fire insurance companies
from writing tornado policies, aud
your rump Legislature of last win
ter forgot TO pass such a law, so /
believe we will continue to do bust.
ness at the old stand in the good
old way, and unless you get raise
in your salary or rase.off from the

state. Respectfully,

A FINE INSTITUTE.

Drs. Jones & Jones will move into
their new quarters the fret of next
week. when they will open to the
public the finest suite of offices in
the state, and one of the hest
equipped institutions ior the suc-
cessful treatment of chronic dis.
eases in the West. This we say
without fear of successful contra
diction, as these physicians employ
the famous mineral waters and
baths in connection with their cleo
trical, oxygen and therapeutic treat
ments. This has been clearly dem
onstrated within thepast two years,
many permanent cures having been
brought about, and in ali cases
marked improvement made.
Theirrapidly increasing business
necessitated more conmodious
quarters, hence their leasing the
entire second floor of the koontz
building and fitting il up in suite
of eight elegant rooms for the ac-
commodation of their patrons.
They have recently added many
new instruments and devices for
relieving the afflicted. Principally
among this list is their new multiple
ncbulizer and vaporizer, to be used
in their treatment of catarrli, lung
and throat troubles. Their new vi
braiom for the relief and permanent
cure of deafness following catarrh,
diseases of the middle or external
ear. With these new additions to
their already nearly perfect meth
ods, they feel that they can perma-
nen,ly benefit all cases. Their
methods of examination are models
of thoroushness aud propriety.
The truth is told you, and If they
think that you can't be benefited
they tell you so. Honesty is the
best policy"
They have the latest instruments
for examining the eye, ear, throat,
lungs-in fact everything for ra-
tional understanding OF diseased
conditions.
They announce their intention OF
from this date to examine all cases
free of charge.
DIR. Glenn. II. Jones of Mound Val.
ley, Kansas, has recently been
added to the firm.
Particular attention will be paid
10 all acute work.
Calls made promptly, day or
Night.
The Drs. Jones certainly have an
ideal establishment. and we feel
that our citizens should be proud
oi and fully appreciate the Baxter
Mineral Springs Institute, for here
is TO Le had as complete surgical
appliance and efficient medical and
surgical service as is TO be had in
few cities our size.
