ment with other remedies, even il
they are urged on you as just as good
as DR.. Kings New Discovery. They
are not as good because this remedy
has record OF cures and besides Is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

TALKING ABOUT POLITICS.
Three Populist Leaders Have . Quiet
Conference.

J. W. Breidenthal and G. W. Clark
came up from Topeka to spend Sun
day with G. B. Hoffman at Enterprise,
having quiet little conference over
the political situation. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Hoffman appreciated the con-
ISOLATION they were able to offer over
his recent defeat for trustee OF the
county high school while all could
unite in mourning the result Of the
elections generally. 1t is understood
that the Populist leaders feel rather
blue over the outlook in the Fifth dis
trict and seriously contemplate turn
ing down Mr., Vincent because Of bis
unassertive course and the large ma
jority for Republicanism in the recent
election. In that case Mr.. Hoffman
may be induced to enter the race.

TALKED ON TEMPERANCE.
Pastors Of the City Have a Union
Service for Prohibition.

The union service last Sunday in
the interest Of temperance was well
attended and was participated in by
nearly all the pastors Of the city. 1t
was not in the nature OF a local cru
sade but was devoted to the cause Of
temperance generally and especially
urged greater enthusiasm in the
cause Of prohibition. Rev. W. A.
Crawford made the Introductory talk
and he was followed by Rev. DR..
Blayney, Rev. DR.. Haithcox, Rev. c.
H. Hartman and other pastors, all
uniting in strong advocacy of the
cause Of temperance. The offering
was given to the W. c. 7. U. of the
city for its work.

VIII Depend on Sugar Crop.
WASHINGTON, Nov 20. 6.-"The plan Of
autonomy proposed for Cuba will sue
ceed," said DR.. Jose |. Rodriguez, the
ablest Cuban statesman in this coun-
try, III the people are given fair dc.
gree Of civil liberty and make good
crop Of sugar this season. The lat
ter Is absolutely essential When
there Is profitable sugar crop the
people are good-natured and tractable.
When there is bad crop they are
filed with discomfort and the spirit
Of anarchy and rebellion. II we could
re-establish the reciprocity arrange
ment that was made with Spain
for Cuba, by Mr.. Blaine, 1t
would go great way toward
restoring peace and contentment, for
II was the revocation of that arrange
ment that made the revolution pos
sible. see that Mr.. Hannis Taylor
declares that fact, and asserts what l
have always contended, that economic
causes were more potential than po-
litical discomfort The Spanish min
istry is just beginning to perceive this
fact.

ALL ARE EXPERTS.
Western Stars Please Their Audience
With Each Number.

A small attendance greeted the
Western Stars Monday at the opera
house but it should not have been so.
The company deserved apacked house
and every one who saw the excellent
program is loud in praise Of the very
talented list Of performers. The Stars
are all Kansas people, each one ar ex-
pert in the line chosen, and they pre-.
sent varied and attractive program
that never lsgs for a minute. Miss
j. Abbie Clarke, the violinist, handles
her instrument with rare skill and
charmed her hearers with each num-
Der. Miss Tyler gave some harp Sc
lections that were heartily and de-
servedly encored. Miss Dent amply
sustained her reputation as one Of the
Vests leading sopranos and the
power and compass Of her voice
charmed every hearer. Mr.. Palmer
gave several readings and was emf
nently successful in his interpreta-
tions-being particularly happy in
the humorous selections. j. Franklin
has improved greatly since
his appearance here year ago and is
already one OF the best chalk-talkers
before the public. The closing num-
Der "My Old Kentucky Home" was
especially pleasing and was unique in
arrangement. Miss Dent sang and
the music was furnished by Misses
Tyler and Clark while Mr.. Caveny
with rapid pencil sketched the scenes
Of the familiar song on the black
board, turning the sunshine into
moonlight by a few deft strokes. The
Western Stars deserve large audiences
and we believe will fare fare better II
they return to this city.
