his playing until nightfall and then
went home, saddled horse and rode
to his father, reaching him ahead of
the conspirators and warning him in
time for him to make his escape. Then
to save his mother and sisters from
the wrath of the Mudsills he rode
back home the same night, safely pass
ing the conspirators upon the road.
Next morning he was again playing on
the streets of Levenworth and no one
suspected that he had made one of the
most heroic rides in history to save his
fathers life. That ride awaited to pro-
long his fathers life but few weeks,
as he then fell victim to the Mud
sills, sacrifice to Free Kansas.
Many another heroic ride has VIM.
f. Cody taken since that night which
transformed mere boy into man
who cheerfully took up the burden of
supporting the family his fathers death
left destitute of other support. Every
general in the army of the United
States for period of thirty-five years
took pride in attesting the invaluable
service to his country of Col. w. F.
Cody, chief of scouts, U. S. army.
He was still youth when novelists
chose him as the hero of their tales of
Western adventure, and for time the
majority of Americans supposed that
Buffalo Bill was only a character in
fiction. Not only all America but all
Europe knows now that he is one of
the real and typical characters of West
ern civilization. The boy who lived in
a Kansas cabin has since been enter
tanned in the homes of the royalty and
nobility of Europe more than any 9th
er person with the exception, perhaps,
of the Prince of Wales. The masses of
the people of Europe who have never
heard of Washington, Lincoln or Grant,
all know Buffalo Bill, at least by
name.
His great exhibition bearing his
name is the most famous one in the
world. Next Wednesday, Aug. 81, it
will be at Omaha and that day has been
officially made Cody Day at the great
Trans Mississippi exposition. The fol-
lowing Monday it will be at Cheyenne
and Frontier Day, the annual celebra-
ton of Wyoming, will be another Cody
Day. Then it goes to Denver, Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Trinidad, and
will come thence to Hutchinson, Sept.
12; Wichita, Sept. 10: Winfield, Sept.
IA; Independence, Sept. Is; Ottawa,
Sept l6; Emporia, Sept. II; Topeka,
Sept. 10; Atchison, Sept. 20; Leaven-
worth, Sept. 21; Kansas City, Sept. %.
Col. Cody will bring his real soldiers
from England, Germany, Russia, Mex
leo and the cavalry-men and artillery
men from the regular army of the
United States; over 100 Indians, so
cowboys, Arabs, etc., to the number of
600 with 500 head of horses.
The Kansas boy may expect an ova-
ton all along the line.

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter Of importance
IN every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that IL
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and ,nake women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman health il
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DRAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like q
new person since following your adj
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrh@a. !
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
! never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. / now wish to say that never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. 1 hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia i. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department OF
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
sAll suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn
Mass, for advice about their health.

SICK SOLDIERS COME HOME.
Pathetic Scenes at the Union Depot in
Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 99.-The
wan, wasted faces of twenty-five sick
soldiers from the army camp at Chick
amauga park leaned out Of the win
dows of two tourist sleeping cars that
pulled slowly into the Union depot at 8
o'clock Saturday night from st. Louis.
Three months ago these same soldiers,
filed with patriotism, left from the
some depot, bound for the war, amid
the hurrahs and Godspeeds of a multi
tude.
1t was sad Homecoming. The
Union depot platform, for an hour,
looked like receiving hospital in a
battle camp Four ambulances were
drawn up at the platform outside the
depot, army surgeons and Red Cross
nurses rushed about with medicines
md milk, and soldiers, almost at the
point of death, sick with ma
lignant typhoid fever, were carried
on stretchers through the crowds,
their sunken faces looking miserably
pale and haggard in the electric light.
Other soldiers staggered feebly across
the platform, half carried by mothers,
wives and friends. All of these soldiers
were members of the Fifth Missouri
regiment of volunteers.

one or the Most Famous Men In thc
World Returns to His State.
Some forty years ago, when the strife
between the Free Sellers and the Mud
sills for the possession of the fair land
of Kansas was at it's ficrcest, twelve
year old boy, playing in the streets of
Levenworth, overheard a plan discuss
cd which had for its aim the killing Of
his father, who was determined that
Kansas should not be slave state.
His fathers life had been threatened
before and the father was then in hid
ing about thirty miles north of his
home on Mud Run, about two miles
from Levenworth. The boy heard that
his fathers place of concealment was
discovered and an expedition of Mud
sill's was to set out that night to catch
and kill him. The boy kept on with

For the past two years the farmers

But the mystery as to where their
stolen articles have gone has been
cleared up, and at the same time one

100 persons have already identified ar

Among the various articles were
lamps, wheels, hay forks, crowbars,
plows, mason's tools and farm imple-
ments of all kinds. In fact, nearly
everything that has disappeared in
Richland and Cascade townships for
the past two years was found there.

sensntion Sprung In the Shooting OF
n Little Boy Near the Town
of Maynard.


A sensation was sprung in the case
of the mysterious shooting of little
George Borghers. near Maynard, when
the brother of the dead boy admitted
that he fired the fatal shot and had
concocted the story of the unknown
wbeelman in order to shield himself
from the consequences Of his act.
The shooting, the brother claims,
was purely accidental, but desiring to
prevent his act from becoming known,
he thought that he could fasten the
deed upon the stranger who had
passed upon his wheel short time
prior to the shooting, and it was with
this intent that he aroused the neigh
boring farmers and sent them in pur-
suit of the unknown cyclist.

Ratless michigan Town.

It is curious fact, says the Evart
(Alich.) Review, that Evart has no rats,
or at least has none up to this time,
and in our nearly 20 years residence
here we have never seen or heard Of
but one rat being seen here, and that
was several years ago, when one was
killed at the depot. But it seems that
we are in line of progress in this mat
ter, as well as in others, for the other
day Win Ramsey killed large one at
the Evart roller mills. The rodent
was seen several weeks ago and the
men have been looking for him. So far
as known there was but one and it may
be that we are not to be cursed by the
pests as are other places yet for
awhile
