all kinds of patent medicines, but am
happily disappointed after trial of
Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup among my
customers and patients. 1t relieves

A couple of years ago c. B. Mac
donald was happy and cOntented in
his position as editor and publisher of
the Oxford Register. A distant rela.
tive in France sent for him to come
and see her, and at the same time
something of the world. She supplied
him with the necessary funds and he
spent a number of month abroad, com.
ing back with pOcketful OF money
and a head full Of discomfort with his
humble Kansas avOoltiOn. He sold
his Oxford paper aud went to Cali.
fOrnia, where he started an orange
grove, Already he has enough oft. He
writes that if any man will pay him
half what he invested there he will
skip out Of California on the first
train and come to Kansas to remain
for the balance Of his days. He is
pining for his old newspaper, and it is
dollars to doughnuts that he will have
it before many months.-K. c. Jour.

Prof. j. B. Denote lectured to a
crowded house at the auditorium Sat.
urday night. His lecture was one of
the best attractions at the lecture
course this winter. He also spoke to
a large audience at the auditorium
Sunday afternoon. DeMOtte is a great
man. He is one OF the really good
men of the nation. He does more to
better the moral and intellectual con-
ditiOh Of mankind than nine tenths
OF the men on the rOstrum. His lee
lures are worth hearing. Those who
heard either Of his lectures in this
city were brOadened and lifted up
both morally and Intellectually by
their influences. They were some
thing that anybody and everybody
could understand and appreciate-and
be benefited by. 1t seems that the
lecture course ought to strive more
toward getting such attractions as
this to come something that
will leave an influence on the com.
munity well worth the expense.
The authorities are on the lookout
for couple of runaway children from
Newkirk, o. l., each about the age of
sixteen years. They skipped out from
a party 10 the country near Newkirk
Saturday night and headed for Wei
lingtOn with the intention OF getting
married. The boys name is Brass,
and he seems to have considerable of
it, for he called at the girls home
Saturday evening and asked her
parents to allow her to accompany
him to a party. They went TO the
party and remained only a short while
when they got into buggy and head.
Ell nor; Inward Tue girl is somewhat
younger than the boy. Her name is
johnson. Their parents became
alarmed the following morning about
their whereabouts, and upon learning
that they were headed for wellington,
telephOned the authorities here to be
on the lookout. The message was re-
ceived Sunday afternoon about
| O'Clock. The hotels were watched
that night, but without result The
youthful couple probably changed
thei! course, for they have not put in
an appearance here.
The bank; of Slate creek we're line
with people Sunday, attracted by
the story about dead fish In the water.
The creek for miles above the dam is
just as the Journal reported it. In
spectiOn of the dead and dying fish
Invariably reveals a red sore spot
under the gills and black spot just
back of the eye. Thousands OF the
fish at first sight apparently are dead,
but when disturbed make feeble at
temDtS to wiggle away. After death
the fish turn yellow at the mouth and
rapidly decay. Several theories are
advanced as to the cause OF their
death. The one advanced by W. H.
Carnes is a plausible one. The low
condition of the creek for several
mGnths past has condensed the salt
and alkali of the water, which was
intensified when the creek began to
slowly rise by the arrival of the body
of water from up the creek. This
may have started the disease which is
playing such havoc with the fish and
turtles. Nearly all Of the dead tur-
ties upon inspection. will be found TO
