ADVERTISING KANSAS.

During he past year the renewed pros
perity of the State has given the Kan
sans who wish to advertise it in the
East an excellent amount Of material,
and they have used theiV opportunity to
good purpose. Easern people are pretty
well aware Of the condition Of Kansas,
and they have faith that it will continue
to develop along rational lines. At the
beginning Of the year representative OF
Harper's Weekly made an investigation
of the State which widely announced its
advancement and prosperous condition.
Business men who have made trips into
the State have carried back East fat
tering accounts of what they have seen
for themselves.
We have two advertising bureaus at
home which have helped this spreading
of good tidings along in fine shape. They
are Secretary Coburn Of the State Board
Of Agriculture and the Santa Fe railroad.
The formers series Of bulletins has told
of Kansas crops and stock in all parts
of this country and in number for
foreign countries. His summary Of the
crop yield and live stock report is
printed at the end Of the year in a very
attractive style and circulated widely.
The statistics Of this summary were
printed in last weeks Advocate and
News, and we publish elsewhere in this
issue a fac simile Of the reverse side OF
the card.
The Santa Fe sends out each year AN
enormous quantity of circulars and other
matter, some Of which touches directly
on Kansas interests, while all Of 1t Is
designed to induce people to travel west
ward to stop in or at least go through
Kansas. The Santa Fe's booklet, Whats
the Matter With Kansas" is an example
of good advertising for the State. Fifty
thousand copies were printed, and half
of these were distributed at the Omaha
Exposition or sent out by land and i'm
migration agents, thus going into the
hands Of persons who had an active in
terest in this region. The company has
seen to a general distribution OF the re-
mainder by its representatives in the
Northern, Eastern and Middle States, as
well as having advertised it extensively.
This is worthy Of notice because the
booklet does not refer to the railroad at
all; it is purely an advertisement for
Kansas, and the benefits the Santa Fe
reaps are merely indirect.
Kansas has always managed to get a
seat up on the platform in full view OF
the audience; and the fact that she is
smartly dressed as we'll as quite inde-

1t cannot be declared unconstitutional,
for that point has already been decided

Elsewhere we publish from the TOpekG
Capital letter from Rev. Charles Shell
don, author of "In His Steps," which
sets hard problem before u.s. 1t is the
\ appeal Of brotherhood, and, as usual
under our heartless system, 1t met with
scant attention from the hurrying, self.
ish world. AS Mr.. Sheldon said, he went
everywhere in Topeka where there was
a likelihood of work only to find at each
place the same situation, more men than
work. At the Santa Fe railroad shops
they told him that they were dlscharg-
ing men instead of employing additional
\ help. The net result Of all their tramp

Dphrases, MEMS hearts must be right,

The first OF these is the orthodox state

that ends the matters. Everything that

The upholders OF the other theory are
often Just as intOlerant and unyielding
to argument as their opponents. Some
Of them want a change in the system,
and because such a change is not made
forthwith they seem to see nothing but
evil.
The balance between these extremes
l seems to fall in favor Of the latter.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive 1t comes on so slowly vet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware Of it
The name of this, which may be divid-
&c into three distinct stages, is first kid
ney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent
desire to urinate, often with burning
sensation, the flow of urine being copious
or scant with strong odor,
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
second stage, or bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water passage,
il creasing desire to urinate, with scald
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometim es
necessary to draw it with instruments
If uric or gravel has formed, it will prove
dangerous if neglected.
The third stage is Bright's disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered remedy fam
Gus for It's marvellous cures of the most
distressing cases, known as DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.
AS proof of the wonderful virtues
of this great discovery, Swamp Root, a
sample bottle and book Of valuable infor-
nation will be sent absolutely free by

The Christening Party.

The special train bearing the party
that will attend the christening of
the battleship ''Wisconsin" at San
Francisco, November &c, passed
through this city over the St. Paul
road last Saturday afternoon shortly
before o'clock. A stop of ten minutes
was made at the Junction, thus giving
a goodly number of our citizens who
were on hand to welcome the party, an
opportunity to inspect the magnificent
train, the like of which has perhaps
never before in this country carried
guests on such long journey. Dur
ing the wait, Miss Elizabeth Stephen
son, the representative young Wiscon-
sin woman who is to stand sponsor
for the great battleship, made her ap-
pearance on the rear platform of the
observation car and was introduced to
the assemblage by her father, Hon.
Isaac Stephenson, of Marinette. She
is an unusually good looking young
lady and appears to take her honor
very modestly and with no signs of
ostentation. The gaudily covered
bottle of champagne that is to be
broken at the christening was ex-
hibited.
The train is a most magnificent one
and enables the party, which numbers
about seventy persons, to travel in
luxurious comfort 1t is made up of
baggage car, dining car, two COM
partment cars, and the famous observ-
alton car built by the Pullman com
pany for exhibition at the Worlds fair.
The passageways between the cars
are vestibuled The interior of the
train is elegantly furnished and
adorned with a profusion of flowers
and palms. San Francisco will be
reached next Friday.

A Sure Sign of CrOup.

Hoarseness in a child that is subject to
Group is a sure indication of the APP
proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarSe, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre-
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this
remedy at hand and find that it saves
them much trouble and worry. 1t can
always be depended upon and is pleasant
to take. For sale by c. A. Gamm.

The " Grip of GoId."

The snaky wreaths on horrors head
are getting nervous. The cockatrice and
basilisk have wilder eye than usual
The money power is caught in the act of
dancing jig. Mr.. Sidney Dell OF Port
land, Oregon, has written to Senator
Bacon OF Georgia, letter which con.
tains these memorable words:
"There is something strangely wrong
in the attitude OF Bryan, Warner,
Teller, Jones and Stewart in relation to
the fundamental question OF the silver
cause. / believe in Bryan's honesty,
but | must say 1t seems clear to me that
these banded Shylocks have their grip
OF gold upon the balance OF these teach
ers, so as to insure their suppression OF
the keynote OF the silver cause"
The keynote is not heard, bnt the
band OF banded Shylocks is, or should
be, playing its loudest upon big bass
drums. If Bryan, Warner, Teller, Jones
and Stewart are strangely wrong about
the silver question, where is right 10 be
sought or found?

ton. The request was promptly denied
and the attorneys gave notice that on
Monday they would ask the supreme
court for the writ.

years old and recently came from Lead
vile, but her true name and antecedents

A di,patch from Roswell dated De

at that place:
There was street duel here last
night, and as result one man is dead
and another fatally wounded. The
duelists were George Napier and man
named Woodbridge. They got into
controversy in front OF the Legal Tender
saloon, and the argument turned into
fight. Beth drew revolvers.
Neither made break for cover, both
firing their weapons point blank. Napier
was shot through the body three times
and died before the smoke cleared away.
Woodbridge was shot twice in the head
and chest.

THOU SHALT NOT"
Have Autonomy in Cuba. The Island
Would Remain as Much as Ever
Under the Spanish Yoke. Unconditional
Liberty or NOthing.-Character OF
the Scheme Proposed.

The Havana dispatches say that Gen.
Pando writes TO Gen. Blanco that all
the commissioners sent to the insurgent
camps with proposals of peace on the
basis OF autonomy, have failed, ard that
war alone remains.
The autonomy scheme failed from the
first, and deserved to fail. Cuba was TO
remain as much as ever under the Span
ish yoke. The appointment by the
crown, through the governor general, OF
so great part OF the council OF admin
istraton, one OF the branches OF the
proposed local parliament, and his
power TO undermine the elective mem
hers al any crisis by dissolving the par
Lament, show what sort OF autonomy
was intended. The governor general,
100, might call a halt in legislation
which he disapproved, while he had
almost the powers OF despot at the
very times when there might be most
need OF preserving popular rights. Spain
further hedges up the way TO true home
rule by appointing the judges; she re-
tans the right OF saving how much
Cuba is to owe her. so loading her with
new debts, charged to the present war
she binds down Cuban commerce by
provisions TO favor her own markets
and her own products; finally, she
mikes it possible TO upset even this
sham autonomy, after peace is once Sc
cured and the island again in her hands.
But all this is only worth mentioning
TO show the real character OF the scheme
proposed. The main consideration is
that, even were this autonomy complete
and worthy, it would come too late.
Why should the patriots in the field,
with their bright prospects OF indepen-
dence, barter it away for submission to
the Spanish yoke? They have good
grounds TO hope that this campaign will
I've the last Of Spain's efforts to conquer
the island and that another Christmas
will see Cuba free.
