1898, from the Knickerbocker theater,
New York says:
I cordially recommend Paine's celery
compound as being thoroughly effica-
ciOus"
When the history of Paine's celery
compound is studied it is easily under
stood why its popularity is so enormous.
Paine celery compound is the world
famed discovery of Prof. Edward Elisha
Phelps, NJ. d, Ii. d, professor of ma
terra medica at Dartmouth college.
Prof. Phelps unusual talent quickly es-
tablished his reputation and prominence
among his professional brethren.
He was fully alive to the dangers at
tendant upon the American way OF liv-
ing, and he sought diligently for some
cOmmOn-sense remedy that would cure
the comon evils, which, under one name
and another, result from an unhealthy
state of nervous system. His labOrs
were crowned with glorious success, and
he gave to the medical profession the
celebrated remedy which has won
worldwide fame as Paine's celery COM
pound.

It is becoming more apparent all the
time that internal taxation must be
relied upon in the future, for the rails
ing of government revenue. Many ar
ticles which formerly paid large re-
turns through the medium of the tariff
have nearly ceased to be imported. No
considerable revenue may hereafter be
counted on from metals and metallic
goods-formerly yielding a large reve-
nue.. No sum of any moment will be
secured from iron, steel or copper OF
their products, which formerly yielded
a large revenue. The duties on wool are
yielding much less than the expected
revenue

One of the Citizens Brings a HorseIess
Carriage to Town.


Salina, Dec. 3.-NIr. Fred Shellabarger
has just received a horseless carriage.
1t is a one-seated vehicle, the body of
which is painted brown with a black
finish. The wheels are smaller than
those of the average buggy, are paint
ed yellow, and have large pneumatic
tires.
The carriage is propelled by electrical
power. The electricity forms a spark
thatexplodes the gasoline, and there you
are! The carriage is started by turning
small electrical lever which is sta
toned within easy reach of the opera
tir In order to stop the carriage, turn
the lever the other way" This action
throws the belts that are attached to
the main drive wheel in the rear from
set of tight to set of loose pulleys.
In starting, the belts are again thrown
on the tight pulleyS, which places the
drive wheel in action and the carriage
in motion.
The carriage can travel on the muddy
streets at Salina as well as on a boule-
ward.

ONE COAL FAMINE ENDS.
c. M. Higginson Says the Santa Fe
Will Have No Further Trouble.

Mr.. c. NJ. Higginson, assistant to the
president of the Santa Fe, who is now
in this city, says that the coal famine
so far as the Santa Fe railway is con-
cerned is at an end He says the supply
now on hand is sufficient for a week,
and does not think the amount ahead
will fall below a weeks supply during
the remainder of the winter season.
Mr.. Higginson says the recent short
age of coal was not due alone to the
heavy commercial trade resulting from
the cold weather but. also to the fact
that the force of miners in the west has
not been as large this year as hereto
fore. He attributes the scarcity of min
went to Alaska during the summer,
and their places We're not taken by min
ers from the east. However, many min
ers from the east have come into the
western territory within the past ten
days.
