The man with consumption used to be
considered just as good as dead. His doc
tors condemned him TO death Just as surel,
as if he had been convicted Of murder
and must die on the scaffold at dawn.
All that has been changed. There is
now no reason for the constructive to
despair. DR.. Plerce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, will cure 90 per cent. of all cases
of consumption. That is startling state
rsent, buta true one. Consumption is fed
by impure blood. It is an accumulation
of impurities in the lungs. If the blood
is made pure and filled with the purify
Ing properties of the Discovery" there
is nothing to replace the tuberculous mat
ter that is coughed up and expectorated.
Gradually the lungs become free and
clear, the lung lining becomes sound and
healthy, and the disease is conquered.
Then begins the process of flesh building
and soon the hollow cheeks are full, the
step is firm and elastic, and health blooms
in every feature and in every action.

Brown Wants Revenge.

When 'ex-State Senator. Milton
Brown of Finney county, passed
thrugh Newton on his way home
from Washington, he knew at that
time he had been defeated for az.
pointment as one Of the United States
district judges OF the Indian Terri
tory. Speaking Of the matter, he
said:
"At the time OF the Republican
state convention to select delegates
to the st. Louis convention, which
was held at Wichita last year, Leland
came to me and desired me TO assist
In his effort to knock out Nike Sutton
in his candidacy for delegate from
the Seventh district and substitute

promises, but said if | assisted him

LELAND wanted to switch me and
fix things, but l refused. He wanted
to give me 81 800 Indian job, but
told him l was after the judgeship or
nothing. However, I'll play even
some way,
81 want to tell you, by the way,
that in all things Mr.. Leland is not
all-powerful, though he did deprive
me of my place. Outside of Kansas
he is political factor, but in Kansas
politics and patronage Baker stands
at the head of the class. In the re-
cent slate Of federal appointments,
for instance, Leland, for pension

Uncle Sam to Count His Cash.

Washington, June 29.-Elias H
Roberts of New York, will become
treasurer of the United States on July
l. Secretary Gage has appointed a
commission to examine the books OF
the present treasurer, D. E. Morgan
OF Connecticut, and to count the
money in the vaults.
This is an enormous undertaking,
and will employ about 100 persons, in.
GLIDING expert counters and their as
sistantS, for about three months.
Most of this time will be taken in
counting the vast stores of silver.
1t is estimated that the paper
money can be counted in about two
weeks, and that it will take about
two months and half to count the
silver.
Mr. Morgan'S bOndsmen will tot be
relieved until the count is concluded
and all the moneys and bonds in his
charge have been fully accounted for.
Though Mr.. Morgan received from
his predecessor about s7OO,OOO,OOO he
will deliver to Mr.. Roberts about $50.
600 more than that sum.

Peffer's Advice to Botkin,

Topeka, June 29.-Ex-Senator PEI
fer, commenting upon the movements
OF Concentrating BOtkin In
Washington religious circles, in to-
morrow'S issue Of his paper, the Ad.
vOcate, will warn Botkin OF his pOliti.
cal danger, 10 the following language:
Indeed, it is evident that Mr..
BOtkin is living and moving as a
clean christian ought to live and
move.
But the Advocate warns Brother
BOtkin that this sort Of conduct will
not add farthing worth to his pros
rects for denomination next year.
Not that people do not like good
christians, but that good christians
rarely are successful politicians.
IF Mr.. BOtkin wants to be re-
turned to congress, and he says he
does, he should not neglect the races,
the prize rings, the theaters and the
dramshOps. He should carry in his
poCketbOok a telegraph deadhead
check and a dozen or so railroad
passes. He should use committee
stationery and draw money instead of
paper, pens and ink, and he should
look wise and say nothing when he
sees a steal going through the house.
Briefly, now that he is in Rome, he
should do as Rome does; that is, if he
is in dead earnest about the matter
Of his denomination.
1--WE congratulate Mr.. BOtkin and
are greatly pleased that, among the
Kansas congressional delegation,
there is at least one man who knows
something besides politics, and who
is not ashamed or afraid to confess
Christ before men,"

A Beautiful Legend.

King George Of England once on
= hunting trip called at the resi-
dence Of a peasant for a drink of
water. A beautiful maiden came
out holding cup Of water by the
handle, forcing the King to take it
as best he could. The King re-
turned to his palace, ordered a cup
made with two handles and sent to
the maiden. On the next hunting
trip he again called at the home Of
the maiden for water, when she
presented the cup holding it
by both handles, still forcing
the King to grasp the cup as
best, he could. Again the King
returned to his palace, ordered a
cup with three handles made and
sent the maiden. Again he called
and asked for water, when the
maiden presented him with cup
holding it by both handles, but
leaving one for the King. .7a.
This cup has since been known
as loving cup and has been re-
produced and is on sale at W. P.
Oldham's Hardware Store, where a
full line of the latest styles Of holt
day goods can be seen.

IA CARD.
From the Friends 81 the Late j.
0. Embry as,
Correcting Statements in the
Daily Papers.

The friends of the late j. o. EN-
bry utterly repudiate the ex parte
statements from Stull and his
friends that have appeared in the
public prints-notably, the Lex
ington Herald, stating that Embry
shot at Stull while his back was
turned. He was not that kind of
a man. There had been no I'M
friendliness between them. Embry
urged a settlement according to the
written contract. Stull had sold
his individual half of the tobacco,
and was proceeding to load and
haul away from Embry's place in
his absence. tbs known that EN-
bry had told Stull, in the presence
of an attorney consulted, that if he
attempted to remove any tobacco,
he would restrain him by the legal
remedy of an injunction. Embry
insisted upon a sale in it's entirety,
because it would bring a better
price as a whole.
Upon returning home Embry had
to pass by the barn near the drive
way leading to his residence. 1t
was then about five o'clock on the
afternoon of a rainy day, and, as
all will recall, almost pitch dark.
Five men were in the barn with
two teams and two loaded wagons
.-Stull and his brother, and three
hands. All, thus far heard from,
concur that Embry demonstrated
with Stull for undertaking to di-
vide and remove at that hour in his
absence a portion of any property
owned jointly, and the shooting be-
gan. What actually took place is
known only by the five men men
toned. Three bullet holes found
in tree and in the barn doors
prove incorrect some of the state
ments made as to the positions of
the parties.
The record Of an honorable life
in which devoted loyalty to friends,
unfinching courage, and some of
the noblest traits aress.found, is
complete denial of contrary course
at the leaving it. No man who
knew Joe Embry will believe to the
contrary.

Seems as if all the things we like
disagree with us, and all the things
we don't like, agree with us. Dys-
pepsia turks in most of the good
things we eat, and indigestion follows
the qualification of appetite. OF
course, ii isn't natures fault. Nature
does the best she can, and if a man
will only help her little bit at the
right time, he may eat what he likes
and as much as he likes. Dir. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are for people who
are troubled with indigestion. Par
ticularly for those in whom it mani
tests itself in the form of constipation.
The "Pellets" are quick and easy in
their action. They are in perfect
harmony with nature. They effect q
permanent cure. You need take
them regularly only little while.
After that use them occasionally
when you need them--when you have
eaten anything that disagrees with
you. They may be taken just as freely
as you would take water or any other
necessity OF life. Once used they are
always in favor.

Zliled Friday Evening, the 26th,
at His Tobacco Barn,
Near His Residence By L. E.
Stull.

On last Friday evening at about
o'clock, courier with the fleet
ness of his horse summoned Drs.
r. @. Drake and w. r. Thompson
to j. o. Embry's residence, two
miles distant, with the message
that he had been mortally wounded
by shot froIa the pistol of l.. E.
Stull. When the doctors arrived
life was extinct and it is their
opinion that he was killed instant
ly; that the ball which struck his
right arm and entered the body
through the arm pit, severed an ar
terry, thereby producing instant
death from internal hemorage.
Mr.. Stull had raised a crop Of
tobacco on Mr.. Embry's farm and
there was a written agreement be-
tween them, the misunderstanding
of which caused the trouble.
Stull had sold his interest and
claimed that he had a right to di-
vide it but Embry was of the con-
trary opinion and objected on the
ground that the crop sold as a
whole would bring better price
and had notified Stull that he
would restrain him by legal process
should he undertake to divide it.
1t is said that sharp words passed
between them and that when they
parted Stull went home summoned
his hands and was proceeding to
divide the crop. When Embry
went home he stopped by his barn
to demonstrate with Stull when the
shooting began. >..-
Stull claims Embry fired the two
first shots; that he (Stull) had on
gum coat which he unbuttoned,
pulled his pistol and fired five
shots, the first taking effect as
above stated. ...
To say the least this was most
unfortunate affair and is deeply
deplored by our people.
Mr.. Embry was 50 years old,
was a son of w. W, Embry. His
mother was Miss GeorgeAnn, daugh'
ter of Joshua Owings, deceased.
He was born in Madison county,
His wife was Miss Annie Howard,
who with four children-Douglas,
Elizabeth, Joseph and Annie--sur-
vive him, He had one brother,
Mr.. t. C. Embry, and two sisters,
Mrs. Edward Shackleford, of this
county, and Mrs. E. II. Field, Of
Madison county. He was also a
first cousin OF, Judge James Embry,
of Washington, d. G. ,.
Funeral service was read at As
cension Episcopal Church in the
presence of large concourse of
friends and relatives by Rev. G.. c.
Abbitt. Burial in Machpelah
cemetery on Sunday afternoon.
The sad, bereaved family have
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity. .. ....-.
Mrs. E. H. Field and daughter,
Mrs. John F. White, of Madison
County; Judge II. Clay Howard,
and G. NJ. Clay and wife, of Bour-
bon county, attended the funeral.
Stull's examining trial was set
for Monday, but was continued
by the Commonwealth until to-
morrow.
