Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use Of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. 50c. and $l.0O per bottle at
j. M. Gleissner's drug store.

FARMS ARE SELLING.
Dickinson County Lands Are Good
Investments.

A growing demand for Kansas
farms is noted in real estate circles.
Especially are being purchased many
Dickinson county farms both by local
investors and those from other states.
People who went to eastern Kansas
and Missouri and paid "a an acre rent
last year are sick Of it. They are
coming back to the cheaper but
equally productive lands.
Without entering into the old IA
miliar strain Of "better times in the
spring" it may be remarked that
many home business men who do not
say SO, firmly believe that great
deal Of real estate will be bought up
this year by parties who wish to
locate here permanently and who be-
lieve that now is the time to buy.
The man who would talk "boom'' in
Dickinson county would be shot on
the spot, but when the real estate
agents are making sales and keeping
quiet about it, as they now are, it is a
pretty fair indication that the demand
for property is good. The fact that
our farmers do not want to sell but
are buying more land, is a very nice
thing to say, and it means great
deal when you consider it we'll.

Remarkable Divergence in Values in
Different Counties.

The county clerk has received &
large number of reports from the
assessors meetings held last Monday
to agree on basis of taxation. The
divergence in the values fixed by the
different counties is remarkable.
Horses Of highest class in Dickinson

Ottawa 500, Cowley S25, Brown $40,
Mitchell $50, Morris SIS. Cattle Of
highest class in Dickinson are $40, in

Wheat is worth 20 to 30 cents in Dick

here, ~ in Jefferson and Cowley, 6 in
Coffey, A in Pratt, Saline and Brown,
5 in Ottawa and Morris. Corn varies
from 5 cents in Ottawa to 10 in Cow
ley. Dickinson says 8.
Dickinson, Cowley and Jefferson an
nounce that the exemption is to be
subtracted and the remainder divided
by 5. The Others are apparently as
sessing at what they term full value
and deduct exemption afterward.
Altogether the indications are that the
taxation Of the state goes by guess
work and not very accurate guessing

The young men Of this town got a
lesson Friday night, They have been in
the habit of allowing the girls to 90
by themselves to the shows and
society meetings. Even at the dances
the young ladies have been coming
two or three with single gentleman
when one kind enough could be found.
They naturally grew weary Of it and
rightly enough too. Last evening
was the last dance Of the winter of
Olympic club. The hall was warm,
the orchestra was on hand and about
$3.50 the young men began to gather
confident that somebody would bring
lot of young ladies to dance with
them. But nobody did and when
about $3.50 the seven gentlemen in
good clothes and anxious for ghirl
at the two-step saw no partners APP
pear they realized sadly that they
were not in It for that evening. They
blew out the lights, paid the must
clans and went home to muse on the
queer ways of woman. As a matter
Of fact it served them right.

DIN GLEY'S NEW BILL.
Hard Work Necessary to Have II
Ready in Time.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Chairman
Dingley, of the ways and means COM
mittee, will not be able to report to
the house the new tariff BILL which
probably will bear his name, before the
beginning of the extra session of con-
gress to be called for the 18th of
March There would have been little
to be gained by reporting the bill to
the house in this session, even if it was
possible, because it would have to be
re-intrCduced in theFifty-fifth congress,
but the Republican members of the
ways and means committee will not be
able to finish the bill before the close
Of this congress. They have been work
ing every day for several weeks on
the bill, but a member said today that
they would be obliged to work very
hard to finish their task by the begin
ming of the extra session.
The past few days have been spent
by the tariff makers, principally in
shaping the language of those sched-
ules Ofthe bill in which they have agreed
upon the rates. Several of the most
important features Of the bill are yet
practically unconSidered. These in
clude the wool, cotton and sugar sched-
ules and the free list. The first of these
promises to give the most trouble, be-
cause of the failure of the wool growers
and manufacturers to reach any agree
nent on rates. In order to complete
the bill, the Republican members Of
the ways and means committee will
stay in Washington after congress ad-
journs, and devote their time to the
work 1t is expected that as soon as
the extra session meets, Speaker Reed,
who will undoubtedly be reelected,
will appoint the same members to the
ways and means committee who are
now serving, and the bill will be report
ed to the house.

LONDON, Feb. ga dispatch to the
Chronicle from Athens says: 1T is be-
lieVed that it has been decided to call
out three more classes of reserves. 1t
is impossible for the King Of Greece to
draw back. If he should do SO. there
would be neither crown nor govern
ment within twenty-four hours
Berlin, Feb 22-The Lokal Anzeiger
is authority for the statement that the
king of Greece has sent a telegram to
Christian TX, king Of Denmark, to the
effect that he has decided to sail for
Crete to take command Of the Greek
forces there.
Paris, Feb ga dispatch received
here from Athens this evening says
that Greece has declared that If the
bOmbardment of the 1nsurgent posi-
ton in the island of Crete is repeated
she will break off diplomatic relations
with the powers. 1t is also stated that
Assim Bey, the Turkish minister at
Athens, threatens that Turkey will
break off her relations unless the Greek
troops are withdrawn from Crete.
1t is stated here that the powers
have accepted the proposal to grant
autonomy to Crete. Even if this were
true, it would naturally at once be
followed by the dispatch of an ulti-
matum to Greece. This probably &C
counts for the bourse rumors regard
ing an ultimatum.

The consuls proceeded to Canada on

though advised Of their arrival, fired
on the consuls in spite Of the white
flag of truce which they carried. The
consuls returned to Selinos, where the
Christians occupied fresh positions.
Here also the consuls were fired upon
The insurgents have rehoisted their
flag at Halepa, but they have not fired
on the Turks, who have planted a flag
1,500 yards from the insurgent posi-
ton.
The British, Italian and Russian con-
suls proposed an armistice of one week

lAlsLN lHOlE THREATENED BY FLOOD

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 22.-For sew
enty-two hours up to 7 o'clock tonight,
a steady rain has fallen over the en-
tire area Of the immense watershed of
the Ohio Valley, with the exception of
the mountainous portions Of Western
New York and Western Pennsylvania,
where the telegraph reports rains to-
night. Here tonight it is still drizzling
from black sky that threatens for
81 eat fall before morning in which
case conditions for great flood would
be present. Already in the past sew
enty-tWO hours there has been by signal
service measurement a rainfall of three
and eleven hundredths5 inches. On both
the boundary between West Virginia
and Kentucky, the tributaries are at
high flood tide. Mountains at head
waters of the Kentucky, Cumberland
and Tennessee rivers are delivering
into these great tributaries with great
raDidity floods of melted snow and
rain, and filling the lower Ohio. All
the tributaries Of the left bank of the
Ohio in Pennsylvania, rise in the noun
tains, and there, too, the delivery Of
rainfall and melted snow is very
rapid. Should the rain cease
before midnight, the present flood
at this point will probably stop
within the fifty-fve-fopt mark, which
would cause no great Inconvenience.
Should heavy rainfall occur over
considerable area Of the Ohio. valley,
there is no predicting what stage the
water would reach at Cincinnati.
At midnight the river here was 4S
feet Z inches and rising seven inches
per hour as it has been doing for six
hours. Specials to the Commercial
Tribune indicate that near midnight
there is no rain in the Ohio valley and
the storm past. They also report al
most unprecedented high waters In
Western Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia.
Clarksburg, w. Va, Feb 22-F'rom
present indications this section will suf-
fer from as bad if not a worse flood
than the one in 1883. It has been rain
ing almost continuously for the past
forty eight hours and is coming down
in torrents tonight. People living on
low ground are moving out, and the
railroads have suffered greatly The
M. r. road is completely blocked by
landslides and Washouts, and will not
be able to get any trains through for
several days. The West Virginia &
Pittsburg road is in even worse condi-
ton, and word has just been received
that the water is eighteen inches deep
in the depot at Buckhannon and is ris-
ing rapidly. All the Baltimore & Ohio
trains have been several hours late,
caused by the washouts, and it is al
most certain that this road will be
completely blocked by morning. The
river is now rising at the rate of over
a foot per hour.

CARSON CITY, New, Feb. 22.-But
little information is obtainable as to
the cause Of the reported hostile atti-

cept that the story is current that
last week two white boys and a Piute
buck had a fight. The Indian was
worsted in the encounter and was
fatally injured. The death of the In
dian was the grievance that melted the
Piutes to threaten the valley settlers.
The first news came in the form of the
following message to the governor
early today from Wabuska:
The Indians have threatened to burn all the
property and kill the white men and women
within reach of this valley. Send us fifty men
by special train and fifty extra stands of
arms as soon as possible
Adjt. Gen. Calusha4at once ordered
troops to be in readiness and left on a

afternoon the following message was
