A GREAT BOOK GIVEN AWAY.

One Of the most deeply interesting
and truly educative books ever written
is "The Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser" by DR.. R. V. Pierce, Chief Con-
sulting Physician of the Invalid's Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
This splendid volume Of 1908 pages in
cludes ninety pages on the subject Of
diseases peculiar to women, with direc-
tions for home treatment, rendering un-
necessary the embarrassing "examina-
tions, and generally useless local treat
ment," 80 dreaded by modest women,
It also treats exhaustively diseases Of
men and points out their remedies The
book contains the most comprehensive
explanation Of human physiology and
the rational principles Of hygiene ever
published. Illustrated with over 300 en-
cravings complete medical library in
one volume. No other medical book in
the English language ever had such an
enormous sale-680 900 copies were sold
at $3.50 each. DR.. Pierce is now distrib-
uting a new free edition OF half a million
copies. A copy will be sent absolutely
free to anyone who will send to the
Worlds Dispensary Medical Association,
Buffalo, N. Y, twenty-one 1-cent stamps
to pay cost Of mailing only. The present
edition Is in all respects the same as that
sold at $3.50 except only that it is bound
In strong MANILA paper covers instead Of
cloth.

I'D stakes and leave the State tomorrow,
thus compelling our people to devise
means to insure themselves, we should
be long ways ahead at the end OF an
other year.
Plttsburg Daily Tribune (Pop): The
Travellers Insurance Company with
draws It's agencies from Kansas because
McNall proposes to investigate its stand
ing. Let 1t go. The company which
cannot stand an investigation into Its
financial standing is rotten. The fact
is, the real estate holdings Of the TRAY
elers' Insurance Company are not what
the company represents. 1t had agents
in Kansas in boom times and loaned
money on lots and houses which can
not now be sold for one-half Of the mort
gage. The assets are not as represented
on paper and the company's officers
know It. They would rather now with
draw from Kansas than be shown up.
They will play the martyr act and fool
people in other States. The company's
business in Kansas last year netted 200
per cent, but 1t can't stand an honest
investigation.
PlttSDUrg hanSan (FOp.)' Inc lEdV-
elers' Insurance Company has given no
tice that 1t will withdraw from Kansas.
This is virtual admission that 1t would
rather get along without the profits
on Kansas business than to have an
examination of It's assets. It certainly
makes a bad showing for the company
and sustains McNalPs contention that
the solvency of the company is Inn
paired. The Travellers company sets
an excellent example to the other foreign
insurance companies now in Kansas by
withdrawing. Take from the piratlcal
concerns the power to plunder the peo-
pie by insisting on the most stringent
compliance with the law, as Superin-
tendent McNall is now doing and the
rascally companies will voluntarily get
out Of the way. Kansas can then perfect
a system Of State insurance that should
be inaugurated at the next session Of
the Legislature. Never permit a cor
poration to do for the people what the
people, through their chosen and re-
sponsible servants, can do for them
selves.

known as "Uncle Dave" announces that
he will be a candidate for reelection.
Uncle Dave has made model official.

bower will not only receive the approval
of the people at the next State Conven-
ton, but will receive hearty endorse
ment at the polls next November in
reelection as the custodian Of the States
funds.
Abilene Reflector: The death of A.
B. Campbell will be mentioned to point
many a moral. He was man Of un-
doubted ability as an orator and with
a popular and winning address But his
weaknesses developed in political life
and he fell. The probabilities are that
had he been a plain business man and
let politics alone he would have ended
his days in peace and plenty instead
of being destitute and suicide.
Abilene Reflector: Dickinson county
is the banner county Of the State for
milch cows-the best indication Of the
solid basis Of its prosperity. A dairy
community is always prosperous and
happy community because its income Is
regular and permanent, not depending
on rain at particular date or sun
shine at q certain hour. The cow has
done wonders for Dickinson county al
ready and has greater blessings yet in
store.
Eureka Union (Pop.): Let no one
class the Union as an anti-Leedy paper.
1t is the ruling motive with the Union
to help make the Peoples party so
clean that all decent men will aid in
perpetuating it in power. There is much
Of virtue in Governor Leedy's admin
istration, but there are also few spots
ON 1t, and the Union Is seeking to remove
the spots, so that the Republicans next
year cannot keep the people from con-
sidering the good accomplished by our
party. The spots must be gotten rid of.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep.): The
Republican papers that are making such
howl about the Pop State committee
assessing State Office holders 21% per
cent. Of their salary for campaign pur-
poses are either very ignorant or very
inslncere. We have done the same thing
right along ourselves and will do it
again when we get in. 1t is legitimate
and proper method Of raising campaign
funds, and the fellow with a thousand
dollar-a-year political job who won't
give S25 Of 1t to campaign fund ought
to be bounced.

on the subject of schools. The attend
ance was large, composed not only of
teachers and scholars, but many parents
came miles from the country. All who
heard Mr.. Stryker agree that the man
ner In which he handled the subject was
every way practical and replete with

the house. It was too good and gave
such universal satisfaction that neither

Paola Times, (Popl: All honor to
Governor Leedy. He has made ruling
that reports Of various officials, such
as grain and oil inspectors, bank COM
missioner insurance commissioner and
others must be fled with the Auditor in
conformity Of paragraph 68SS of the
General Statutes on or before the 18th
of each month. These reports consist
Of sworn statements Of all fees and
moneys collected and paid out. AL
though this law has been on the statute
book since 1889 Governor Leedy Is the
first executive to make an effort to Sc
cure its enforcement. No other State
administration ever had the courage be-
fore to demand these reports.
Chanute Blade (Dem): The recent
scrap between State Auditor Morris and
State Oil Inspector Wharton regarding
the dispute over the time that the State
Oil Inspector should make his report
TO the State Treasurer has not been bar
rem Of results Each party went to the
90 nn
in looking up the law in the matter,
decided that not only should the Oil
Inspector make his reports monthly, but
the State Treasurer, Auditor, Secretary
of State, and all other officers of the
State having to do with the collection
and disbursements of moneys. We are
inclined to the belief that Morris was
right about the monthly reports Of the
Oil Inspector. The people are anxious
to know about the workings Of our State
government and Mr.. Wharton should
have made his reports at their request,
whether the law indicated the same or
not.
Topeka Capital (Rep.) The manage
ment Of the State Agricultural Col
lege have made good disposition of the
money received from the sale Of the col
lege herd in starting dairy school in
connection with the college, under the
instruction of Professor Cottrell, now of
the faculty and formerly for some years
in charge of the fancy stock farm Of ex-
Vice President Morton in New York.
The possibilities Of the growth
of this all-important interest in this
State are almost beyond conception or
computation, because 1t is the best
equipped State in the Union and one Of
the best communities in the world for
the extended development of this export
business. The dairy school at the Agri-
cultural Collegeshould receive the hearty
support of the Legislature. 1t Is a step
in the direction of the ultimate triumph
of the dairy business in Kansas and Of
the State as the leading dairy State in
the Union.

4 Fortune From a Scare.

An Inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something wkich weuld be an effica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means eg defense. As a result he has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most VIC
ious dog cannot withstand few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
vet there is no danger of actually in
juring 4 valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. The weapon
has proved SO much of success as q
means Of defense as well as fun-mak-
ing, that the lucky inventor realizing
much money from his device.

The South and the "Fourth."

We propose, says the Mobile Regis
ter, that the people of the South re-
vive the celebration of the Fourth of
July. The animosities of the late war
have been buried, and ought not any
longer to interfere with our obser-
vance Of the anniversary of the natal
day of the republic. We see once
again a united country, the North and
the South joined IN war against
foreign foe. Southern men wearing
the uniform o; blue and Southern men
bearirg the flag of our republic. Why,
if there were nothing else to rejoice
over, this spectacle itself should arouse
enthusiasm. But there is more than
this. This spectacle is the result Of
the form OF government bequeathed to
Us by our ancestors, and that govern
ment itself was the first great result
of the Declaration of independence,
which was given to the world on the
Fourth of July, l776.
Indeed, it is something worth ce!e-
bratinc, this anniversary OF the begin
ming of n republic in which such
thug can be accomplished. We appeal,
therefore, to our people to take advan-
tage of this fortunate opportunity to
revive IN ancient and honorable Gus
tom. Let the Fourth of July I've cele-
brated; lei public exercises take place;
let us have an Grafton, and parade OF
the civic and military societies, and
wind up the day with a liberal com
bustion of gunpowder. 1t will do US
all world of good.

Southern Ports in War.

That neither war nor other infu'
ence is affecting the progress of trade
at Southern ports to any material ex'
tent is indicated by the figures of the
exports of breadstutfS. During May
the value of exports of breadstutta
from al ports was s3S, $50, 997, an in.
crease over May, 1897, of S25, lS6, ,j97,
or 1872 per cent. The exports at
Southern ports were Sl1, 763. 732, ca
increase of IS, 663, 555, or 279 per
cent, and at all other ports the value
was S26, ,517, 265, ali increase of SlG,-
523, ,042, or 165 per cent. There ws9
a gain during the month at every
Southern port, and at only one port in
the country, Duluth, was there falling
off. During the eleven months ended
May 81 the breadstutf exports were
1895, ,6O3, 1873, an increase of SIG, $780,
