EXTRA SESSION.

Governor Leedy has called an ex-
ira session of the Kansas Legislature,
to meet Wednesday the 21st. The
proclamation is as follows:
5CLAMATION-
Executive Department, Topeka, Kans..
Dec. 18th, 1898.
Whereas, Assurances have reached
me I'D the effect that If the legisia-
lure shall be convened suitable legis-
iation for the regultIou of railroad
charges can be enacted aud, deeming
such matters OF sufficient Importance
to justify the convening of the legis-
lature in special session, Now,
Therefore, I, John w. Leedy, gov
ernor of the state of Kansas, by virtue
of authority vested in me by the con
sti'ution of the state do hereby con-
vene the legislature of the state of
Kansas to meet at the capital of the
state at the hour of 4 O'Clock p. m. on
the 21st day of December, 1898. In
| testimony whereof, [ have hereunto
subscribed my name and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Kansas Done at the city of Topeka
on the day and year first above writ
ten.
(Signed JOHN w. LEEDY.
The legislature will have it in it's
power to do An immense amount of
good IN short session, providing the
mem bers thereof act in unison and
without the personal chickering's and
differences that unfortunately too often
take up the time of the legislature.
Of course there will be horde OF lob
byists on hand to prevent any laws
being made that, will be for the good
of the Masses but we hardly think
Governor Lee&g Leedy would get the
legislature together at this time unless
assured beyond possibility of doubt
that needed Legislation could and
would be accomplished.

HONOR is scI,LEy's.

CommoCore's Friends Determined He
shall Have Credit.
= Ellington, July IA good deal Of
discussion is going on here as to
whether Admiral Sampson or Commo-
dore Schley is entitled to the credit of
destroying Cervera's fleet. The men
who occupy high places in the navy de-
partment side with Sampson, but the
naval officials of lower rank, the people
Of Washington and the members of con-
gress are strongly in favor of Schley.
The feeling against Sampson is very
pronounced. and it is even threatened
that his appointment as commodore,
sent to thessenate few days ago, may
not be ratified. A large majority of
either house will not permit of the pas
sage of resolution commencing Samp-
son which does not also include Schley.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like 1t, but there is real
ly no trick about it Anybody can try ii
who has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys,
Malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking Elec-
trio Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as stimulant to Liver
and Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures Constipation, Headache,
Painting Spells, Sleeplessness and Melan-
choly. 1t is purely vegetable, a mild laSa-
tive, and restores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be conviuc-
ed that they are miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only soc. bottle at
stores.

Pettigrew Has a reason.

Washington, July 7.-Senator Petit

dering the thanks of congress to Com

for gallant conduct in the destruction of
the Spanish feet at Santiago. 1t occa-
stoned some debate. Senator Hale said
no one knew who was entitled to the
credit of the great victory.
Pettigrew said he introduced the res
olution to remove IN a measure the err
roneous impression that Sampson had
won the most remarkable naval battle
of the world The resolution went to
the committee on naval affairs.
