Financial Interests Will Prove of Weight
In Cuban Affairs.
St. Louis, Jan. 8-Despatches from
Washington assert that new influences
are at work in regard to Cuba, between

are largely represented in this country
and they have come to the conclusion
that Spain cannot conquer the insurgents
and that the latter will not accept ,uton

for the United States to intervene.

Seed Will Be Sent Out From
Bureau of Agriculture.

Medicine Lodge, Aug. 26.-Prof. G. e.
Patrick, of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, has been sent to,
this point by Secretary Wilson to test
different varieties of sorghum. He will
make tests at the sugar mill and will
use as many varieties as he can OBJ
tain.
The principal purpose assigned for
the tests is to ascertain the best vari-
cites for feeding, although considerable
attention will be given to syrup and
possibly a few sugar tests will also be
made. It is well understood among
farmers and others who have made a
study of sorghum, that the varieties
that make the best syrup do not make
the best feed, and it is the intention of
the department to get all possible in
formation in order that feeders and
syrup makers alike may be benefited.
In connection with testing the juices,
Prof. Patrick desires to meet as many
of the sorghum raisers of the county as
possible so that he may have the bene-

FOR A NEW EXHIBIT.
Sedgwick County Prepares for Better
Representation at Omaha.

Wichita, Aug. est has been de-
termined to have Wichita and Sedgwick
county make a showing at Omaha at
least commensurate with that of any
city or town in the state. The county
has been little better off than the rest
of Kansas in the matter of preparing
an early exhibit, which may have been
due to the war excitement and the con-
sequent carelessness of any extended
public enterprise mourning such an eX-
pense as the Omaha exposition, as well
as the new rush of business all over
the west and especially in Kansas. Ev-
cry visitor to Omaha has brought back
and registered a vigorous protest
against the way the several counties
had neglected their exhibits, and these
kicks have had their desired effects.
Nobody blames any one in particular,
and nobody in particular is to blame.
Sedgwick county, through the efforts
sent a creditable exhibit to Omaha, con-
toes, rye, etc, together with several
other products of Sedgwick county
farms. 1t is reported by Kansas visi-
tors to Omaha that the Sedgwick coun-
ty exhibit, though it was thrown to-
gether hurriedly after a late start, COM
pares favorably with those of counties
in Nebraska, Iowa and other states
where appropriations were made by the
state legislatures to defray the expen-
ses of such displays.
Now another new and more systemat-
ic and thoroughly representative ex-
hibit from this county is to be sent
within few days, and there is to be
man with it.

IT is SETTLED NOW.
The Soldiers Reunion Will Be Held
in Garfield Park.

The Committee of Fifteen formally
decided last evening to hold the G. A.
r. reunion in Garfield park.
This location was agreed upon be-
cause there is more room there than
anywhere in Topeka. The grounds can
easily be reached by the street cars and
are not out of walking distance. If
the City park had been in an improved
condition the question of location would
have been decided differently. The
committee will lease James park and
Garfield park but the headquarters will
be in Garfield park. Some tents will be
placed in Garfield park and the rest
across the road in the James park.
The committee made some changes
in the floral prizes offered. The prizes
for an equestrian display was with
drawn and the following substituted:
For the best appearing equestrian cou-
pie, $25; second prize IS; for the best
appearing single equestrian lady or
gentleman, first prize $40; second IS;
for the best appearing pony ridden by
a boy or girl, first prize IS; second 81.
A second prize of SIS for the best dec
GRATED two or four horse vehicle and a
third prize of So were also added.
A second prize of IS for the best dec
GRATED pony cart was placed in the list
and two bicycle prizes were added, a,
first prize Of SO and a second of IS.

God Bless the DiscOverer of
MOrrOw's Kid-ne-Oids.

Why shouldn't Mr.. Banks feel this
way? He is a barber and stands many
long hours on his feet. This is an awful
strain on the back. Try standing on a
space of three or four feet for two
hours and see how you feel. For
about two or three years. says he, I
have been suffering with backache.
Sometimes lost time from work, and
sometimes I had to go to bed. I took
several cures that were not cures at
all, and had treatment from doctors
which gave but temporary relief. I
heard of so many being cured by Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids that I got q box at
the Swift & Holiday Drug Co, took
them according to directions and felt
better in two or three days. I contin-
ued their use until today I am entirely
cured of the kidney ailment- God bless
the discoverer Of MOrrOw's Kid-ne-
ODDS"
There is no use suffering If you will
do the same. Don't stop when you feel
better but keep on until you are cured.

Indianapolis News: One of the most
significant and remarkable evidences of
present prosperity is the demand from
Kansas for high priced eastern securi-
ties. The Kansas bankers are getting
more money deposited in their banks
than they can find local use for, and
they are investing in eastern securities.
This is a complete reversal of financial
conditions in a state which had attained
a remarkable degree of notoriety for
its poverty. The people of Kansas
have been heavy borrowers, and but
a short time ago they were so deeply
in debt, their farms were so heavily
mortgaged that their credit was SER
iously questioned everywhere. The fact
that they are now seeking gilt-edged
investment securities gives proof of a
change in their financial condition, re-
markable and most gratifying.

fact that Honolulu people have had

meals every day. Our people seem to
have made a special effort toward look
