testimonial which should parade her

this the elder lady argued: There
may be other cases just like mine,
and I am sure I take great pleasure
in recommending the Tabules to any
one afflicted as was. If the telling
about my case in the papers enables
some other person similarly affected
to be as greatly benefited as I have
been, see no objection" The daugh-
ters, knowing how earnestly she felt
about the benefit she had received,
decided she was quite right.
The Springfield herald., 1898-08-19

1.-THE sale Of Ripans Tabules Is
constant and is Increasing, due
especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the Recommendation Of friend to
friend. Satisfaction with them is
very general. When once they are
begun 1 notice that a permanent
customer for them is made. This, l
believe, is through their intrinsic
merit, which proves the bona f1de
character Of the advertising. Think
them specially useful in the general

One of the Big Creamery Companies
of Elgin, Ill, To Locate Here.

Pittsburg, Aug. 8-Mr. Ensor from
Elgin, Ill, was in the city this morning
inquiring as to the conditions and sur
rOundings of this city as a location for
an extensive creamery business.
Mr.. Ensor talked with John Brewer,
R. z. Carlton, John r. Lindburg and
other business men in regard to the
project.
President Young of this company is
also in Kansas at the present time on
a tour of investigation.
He is now at EmpOria and the result
will be that the Elgin company will To-
cate two or three branch houses in this
state.
The company has made a success of
the creamery business in Illinois and
they look upon the prospect in Kansas
as equally inviting as was the situa-
ton in Illinois, when they began bust
ness there.
Mr.. Ensor is very favorably impress
ed with this location on account of its
railroad facilities, which make it con-
venient for them to secure the cream
from farms 80 to 40 miles from here in

H1GHwAYMAN ESCAPES.
Convict Earns His Liberty While
Working on the State Road

Leavenworth, Aug. Slew Moore, a
convict at the state penitentiary at
Lansing, made his escape and has not
yet been captured.
The convict got away through care
lessness and stupidity on the part OF
the guards.
Moore, with several other convicts
was working under guard on the state
road south of Lansing repairing the
macadam, and one of the guards sent
him down the road a short distance
to do some work. Moore started down
the road and after getting some dis
tance from the guard made a sudden
break and ran into the bushes at the
side of the road.
Moore was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary from Crawford county in 1895 for
six years, for being implicated in the
robbery of an old farmer in that county.
He had yet about eighteen months to
serve. Up to his escape of yesterday
Moore had always been an exemplary
prisoner and the guard thought he
could trust him as far as he did. At
a late hour last night Moore had not
heen recaptured.

After short time he arose and said
he would go to milk the cows, but soon
returned, saying that it was yet too

his little boy to him, asked him to kiss
him, after which he placed a revolver
to his temple just as his wife entered
the room. She screamed and ran to
restrain his hand, but too late the
fatal bullet had done it's mission. The

Death resulted instantly. No cause is

Eagleton was a man of very bright

was a native of Massachusetts and
held very lucrative position in Bos-

throughout the west, and at one time
held large mining interests.

what centraIizing force has been able to
bring this singleness of aim about, the
answer is unavoidable that it has been the
convincing personality and charm of Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt.
Since Theodore Roosevelt graduated
from Harvard in 1880 he has played many
parts. In political life he has been a
New York state aSsemblyman, United
States civil service commissioner, police
commissioner of New York city, and as
sistant secretary of the navy. In liter
AZURE he is well known as the author of
several historical works and descriptions
and stories of western frontier life.
When Roosevelt organized the troop the
president offered to make him colonel, but
he declined the commission. 7 am not fit
ted to command a regiment he said, for
have had no military training Later,
after 1 have gained some experience, per-
haps that may come" 1t has come now,
and also commentator for the medal of
honor for gallant conduct in action.

PICNIC FILTRATION IN COURT

From the New York Press.)
A young man of Kansas took his best
girl to a picnic, where she firted so
outrageOusly, as he thought, that he re-
fused to go home with her. The young
woman went home alone and in a car
riage. Her father paid the hill-seventy-
five cents-and sued the jealous lover
for reimbursement. Both have hired
lawyers and threaten to carry the case
to the highest courts in the land"
While the lovers side of the story, to-
gether with his subsequent action, is
more or less familiar to observant stu
dents of American life, the fathers con-
tention. though unusual, is well taken.
He holds that having escorted the girl
to the picnic the fellow was bound to
see that she had safe conduct home and
at his own expense. 1t remains for
courts to say just how far a woman is
privileged to go in flirting before her
lover has the right to punish her in the
impulsive way that many rural SWANS
folIow-by refusing, as the Kansas lover
did, to go home with her.
Not only will affectionate youthful
humanity in many communities hang
on the decisions of the various courts in
which this case bids fair to be tried, but
American sociologfsts and the whole
ScnOOI OF andIyIlc nONellSIS await IIldA
judgment with interest. Here is meat
here for a hOmespun tragedy a Ia Ham
lin Garland, and a paper for the Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science by
Professor Commons. The addition to
the body of the common law will also
be notable. It is difficult TO imagine a
question of wider interest among the
youth of the land, especially in rural
communities, than that as to whether
the acceptance of an invitation to a
picnic or other festivity in unchaper-
oned America implies a contract not to

Our purpose in Cuba is not war but
peace, and the army of peace is the
real representative of our mission. San
tiago will be the first point to feel the
beneficial influences which we are to
put in operation. Santiago will be
cleaned and disinfeeted, severed and
paved, and made fit for human habita-
ton and ripe for prosperity. And more
important even than the improvement
in its physical condition will be the po-
litical Improvement.
With liberty will come justice. For
the first time in its history its people
will know honest government and fair
treatment, and will enjoy in security
the fruits of their labor. For the first
time they will be in position to reap
the rich rewards of their great natural
advantages of climate, soil, and geo.
graphical position.
Under American protection and i'm
pulse, Santiago in a year from now
will be a busy, f1ourishing, happy mod
ern city, and it's prosperity will be
merely a sample and index Of that
prosperity which the new order will
bring to all Cuba.

NEWTON IS PROSPEROUS.
And the Salaries of the City Officers
Will Be Raised as Result.

Newton, Aug. st is probable that
the salaries of nearly all the city Of
ficials will be raised in the near future.
The sentiment of the council is in favor
of it and the matter will probably be
pushed through at the next meeting of
the council.
The assertion is made that all the city
officials are doing far more work than
is warranted by the size of their sal
aries The salaries were cut down some
years ago during the times of depres-
sion when the city was in hard straits
and when there was also less work to
be done.
Since times have improved and the
city has increased in size, there has
been a corresponding increase of the
work on the officials until the work is
now past all reason for the salaries
paid
At the meeting of the council last
evening the city attorney was instruct
ed to draw up an ordinance and to
present it to council at its next meet
ing, providing that the salary of the
city clerk be raised to $40 per month
instead of S25; the sexton of the ceme-
terry from $40 to $50 and the superin-
tendent of the waterworks from $50 to
$50 The salaries of other officers may
also be increased.

New York Sun: As between a foot
hold for the United States in the East
Indies. such as the Philippines. and a
fOothoId in the West Indies, Porto Rico.
for example, that in the East would be
of incOmparabIy greater Importance.
The practical difference between our
having it and not having it in the East
would be vastly greater than between
having or not having it near our own
shores. A second contrast between Por-
to Rico and the Philippines is more
striking yet. While every new year
would be bound to make our acquisi-
ton Of Porto Rico more certain and
more easy, every year would make the
acquisition of the Philippines more i'm
probable and difficult. The law of pol
itical gravitatiOn which would work in
our favor in the case of Porto Rico
would work against US in the Philip
pines. And it would work surely for
the benefit Of some other power The
Philippines must continue to be what
they are, namely, ours.

HERINeToN WILL BE DARK.
Municipal Ownership Does Not Prove
Profitable There.

Harrington. Aug. 8.-Herington has for
some years had city ownership of light
and water plants. both being operated
from the same building and under one
superintendent. The council has issued
the following notice of the results:
During the two years prior to the
present city administration the books
show that the plant created a defic-
ency of about 5000, although a large
part Of the cost of extension of pipe
was paid from other funds. During
the present administration in spite of
the most economical and careful man
agement, the plant has run behind ex-
penses from $3.50 to 5000 per month.
The city has a heavy floating indebted
ness, and many of it's creditors are in
sisting on payment of their claims long
justly due. The city has no legal right,
aside from the matter of fairness to
other creditors, to use any of the taxes
to pay the running expenses of the
plant. The council believes that it is
imperatively necessary to diminish the
monthly deficiency arising from run
ming the plant, and that it will be much
reduced by abandoning the light ser
vice. 1t will therefore. be abandoned
August IS This will not affect the wa
ter service.

MUST HAVE BIGGER ARMY.
Chairman Hull Thinks 100000 Men
About Right.

Washington, D. c., Aug. S.-Chairman
Hull of the house committee military
affairs, who is now in Washington. is in
tereSting himself in questions which viii
come before that committee for settlement
during the short session of congress. One
of these is the status of the regular army.
This is an important subject" said Mr.
Hull today. "As soon as peace is declar-
ed our regular army will be reduced to
about $4,000 men. 1 think that every one
will concede that this number will not be
sufficient for the future. In my opinion
we will need 100000 regulars for some time
to come. The reorganization bill which
passed at the last session brought the reg
ular army up to $1,000. l thought that
probably $1,000 would be the appropriate
figure for the standing army of the flu
ture, but within the past three months
conditions have arisen which will put an
entirely different phase upon the situa-
ton. We will need men in the Philip
pines, in Cuba and in Porto Rico, and I
doubt if $1,000 men will be enough.

in the recess of congress. to be submitted
to the committee on military affairs as
soon as it meets in December The COM
mittee can then pass upon it, and we
hope to secure early action in the house

TO PROSPECT FOR OIL.
Bonds to Be Voted in Bourbon County
to Sink 25 Wells.

Fort Scott, Aug. S.-The Bronson peo-
pie who have been interested in pros
pecting in Bourbon county for natural
gas have abandoned the idea of drill
ing a single well at Bronson, though
they have raised the money for the
purpose They have Investigated the
Allen county fields and find that out of
over 80 holes they have but ten gas
wells. They are of the opinion that the
sinking of one we'll, unless they should
happen to strike a gas pocket, would
discourage the people and cause a ces-
satiOn of prospecting.
A new scheme is not only suggested
by them but is being agitated. It is
for the county to vote about $4,000 of
bonds for the sinking of rs 1000 feet
holes, equally divided in the different
townships. This, it is argued would
certainly satisfy everybody as to there
being gas in the county. The belief
prevails among Bronson's citizens who
have investigated that there is fully
as much gas there as in Allen county, and
many in Fort Scott are of the same
conviction.
