The ten Or twenty seconds during

A Clever Trick.

Ii certainly looks like 1t, but there
is really no trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has lame back and
weak kidneys, malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure him
self right away by taking Electric
Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as stimulant to
liver and kidneys, is blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures Constipa-
tion, Headache, Painting Spells,
Sleeplessness and Melancholy. 1t is
pure vegetable, q mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural
visor. Try Electric Bitters and be
convinced that they are miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed.
Only soc bottle at A. w. Foreman

a Profitable Crop.

Alfalfa is crop which has been
proiitably adopted in many parts Of
Kansas and there seems TO be no rea-
son why not here. 1t puts down q
very long tap root and is said to with
stand killing by either drouth or cold.
1t is sown in the spring; the first two
cuttings that year are not worth saw
Ing; the third is sufficient to more
than pay for doing so. After the first
year they get full stand and cut
three times-about ton and Il half
each time-or four and a half tons to
the acre annually, besides fne win
ter pasturage. Alfalfa is not suitable
feed for driving horses, but is excel
lent for cattle, young horses and also
for hogs.

Jurisdiction Upheld.

Judge Thomas rendered an opinion
at Muskogee Monday in the BlOunt-
Martin case in which he declares that
the United States courts have juris-
dictiou In the case, and Martin was
accordingly remanded to Jail. Blount
Martin, it will be remembered, stole
Mrs. StrOut's buggy horse and escaped
with it to Parsons, where the animal
was recovered, and the thief brought
back and jailed. An attempt was
made some time ago to bring habeas
corpus proceedings in the supreme
court of the United States court, but
that court refused TO entertain the
matter.

A Pleasant Reception.

Friday evening the faculty of Wor-
cester Academy, assisted by Mesdames
Ratcliff, Blakency and Paul, received
their friends at the cottage. Although
the weather was very threatening,
the room was filled with representa-
tive people OF the city.
At s o'clock the faculty stood in
line and were introduced by the ladies
assisting. The entire gathering was
in very happy mood and the evening
passed pleasantly. Misses Ironside
and Lily Burns presided over the re-
freshments and served gracefully,
The halls and parlors were deco
rated with Golden rod and vines and
presented pleasing effect. Although
an informal affair it proved to be
quite social event.
II is the hope OF all that very pleas
ant acquaintance thus opened may
last through many years.

A Fine Orchard .

y. NJ. GFogell has an orchard on his
place near Alton of SIXTY acres, part
of which is beginning to bear. He is
giving it all the work and attention
required, regardless OF cost, and for
several years has had nothing planted
between the rows OF trees. During
the season he has it cultivated sever
al times with a spring-tooth harrow,
requiring four horses, and then has
the weeds chopped around the trees
with a noe. 10 protect the trees frGm
the rabbits he has them wrapped with
cloths, cid sacks, etc. An orchard
like this insures a competency for the
possessor a few years hence-actual
independence.

They Are Oppressors of the
Poor"

CHIEFTAIN:-Section 1873 Mansfield's
Digest says: SIN order to better pro-
vide for the improvement of streets,
alleys, sidewalks and public grounds
OF any municipal corporation, the
city council or board of aldermen OF
any such corporation shall have
power, whenever in their opinion the
interests OF the Incorporation require
it, by ordinance, to direct and require
that any, or all, male persons between
the ages Of eighteen and forty-fve,
residents within the limits OF such
corporation, shall be liable and sub
ject to street duty performable by
work and labor in or upon the streets,
alleys, sidewalks or public grounds in
side the limits Of such corporation,
under the supervision and direction OF
such officers as the city councilmen
or board of aldermen may direct; and
to prescribe the notice and manner of
service thereof by which the person or
persons so liable shall be warned or
summoned for the performance of
such duty, and shall have full power
to punish any failure, refusal or neg
lect TO perform such duty on the part
OF any person so warned or summoned;
and shall also have the power to pro-
vide in what manner and upon what
terms exemptions from such duty may
be obtained. Provided, that no per-
son shall be liable to more than ten
days Of such duty in any one year, nor
for longer period than three days at
any one time; and provided, that per-
sons who live in such corporations
shall not be liable to work on any
public roads outside thereof
1t is clearly evident from the above
quoted statute that the city aldermen
OF Vinita had full power and lawful
authority to levy and assess a three
days tax OF street work upon the per-
sons therein named, and their liber-
ality, viewing the existing conditions
OF the streets, is clearly shown by
making it three instead of ten days,
as the law would justify and the con-
ditions demand. If our city council
men are to be individually boycotted,
as suggested by Il local paper
for their first attempt at
sanitary measures and re-
good Lord only knows what will be.

keep up the other expenses.
