Adams, well known druggist, OF Ge-
neva, Ala, in a letter iuqairing the
price Of dozen bottles, that he might
not only have IL for use in his own
family, but supply it to his neighbors-

value, and what vast amount of suf-

The Candidates Platforms.


There are three candidates for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, each one stand
ing upon his own platform.
There is George A. jerks What is
his platform This:
Free silver; Free Trade; give the cap
tured islands back 10 Spain. 1 am DEM
ocrat, and only Democrats are capable OF
running the Government.
Then there is ID )ctor Swallow. What
Is his platform? This:
am the only honest man in Pennsyl-
vauia. True, have been convicted of IL
beling my fellow-men by jury Of citi
zsns Of my own county, bat what right
have judges and juries TO be believed
when am the only honest man LEFT?
The Republican candidate is William
A. Stone, who went to war as a boy and
fought bravely. And this is his plat
form:
It will be my purpose when elected to
so conduct myself as to win the respect
and good will of those who have opposed
me as we'll as those who have given ms
their support shall be the Governor Of
the whole people of the State. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown mp in the Legis-
lature which are neither the fault of one
party nor the other. but rather the growth
of custom. Unnecessary investigations
have been authorized by committees, res
ulting in unnecessary expense to the
State. Il will be my care and purpose 10
correct these and other evils in so far As |
have the power. Il will be my purpose
while Governor of Pennsylvania, as it has
been my purpose in the public positions
that have held, with Gods help. to dis
charge my whole duty. Tue people are
greater than the parties TO which they be-
long. am only jealous of their favor.
shalt only attempt to win their approval,
and my experience has Taught me that
that can be best done by an honest, mo l.

Chickens and the Garden.

Very many people are fond Of good
garden, but think they can not keep
chickens and have a garden too. The
Maine Farmer tells of a pOultryman
who is noted for success in producing
vegetables He grows twice as much
on an acre as formerly. He keeps 100
fowls, and has two lots Of ground, one
b.ing given up to the fowls, while the
ether is used for garden, the lots being
about one and a quarter acres each.
The next year he turns the fowls on
the garden plot and uses for garden
the plot then vacated by the fowls. By
thus giving up the garden plot to poul-
try every other year he keeps the soil
very fertile.

as TO WAR TAXES.

They've put a stamp upon our checks,
As well as on our beer:
They've taxed the note that often wreck.
And things that bring good cheer.
They've taxed the mortgage on the roo
They've taxed Insurance. too,
Until soine folks have but reproof
For schemes for revenue.
I've heard word OF good advice
For those who make the tax:
Why not impose some OF the ice
On more deserving baclzss
Why make the man who pays the debt
Add something 20 his score,
When there are several millions yet
'Twere weil not to ignores
Tax nuisaDces. not virtues. There
Is sure no lack Of these;
The mau who talks while cutting hair,
The man demanding fees
For doing what he ought TO do,
And other OF his iik;
Pray why Ignore the pirate crew
And put so much on silk.
The yellow Journalist should be
Compelled to pay two cents
On every oae-cent extra he
Brings out with lines immense.
Tax all the fibs this fellow tells;
think you'll surely ind
That you've at last removed the spells
That weak finances bind.
Tax all the saffron clergymen,
Forgetful OF their place,
For every word they utter when
They would incite the race.
Tax people like our loved Van Wyck,
And Piatt, and Croker, too,
For every scheming little strike
Their politics put through.
Tax deals and schemes, tax everything
Which makes our folks appear
To be bound fast within a ring
You'll fiBd there's plenty here.
Tax everywhere corruption. and
think you'll shortly see
The people in a chorus grand
Acclaim you splendidly

yides for a permanent school fund and
it also provides that it shall be distrib-
uted at certain intervals. There is a
law that says that in cities of the Sec
ond class children between the ages of
five and seven may be excluded from
the school temporarily and I take it
that means in cases where a school
house has been burned or something
else has happened to crowd the schools.
But it was never intended, and children
between these ages cannot be legally
excluded from the schools because a
school board does not build a school
house or fails to provide a. place for
them to attend school
THE statute gives cities of the first
class the right to make regulations gov
erning this matter But even then
do not think that children over five
and under seven years old can be ex-
cluded from the schools.
THE constitution provides that the
school fund shall be distributed accord
ing to the school population and for all
children over five years Of age. 1t is
not constitutional for the school board
to draw money for child and then de-
prive it of the school privileges. I am
satisfied that children over five years of
age are entitled to school privileges no
matter where they may live in the
state -

'OISONED BY SALMON.

Hutchinson, July 8.-F'or the past year
the bloodhound question has been many
times discussed by the city council.
There has been much petty thieving
which no one has been able to trail
down. Chickens have been stolen by
the thousand. The council long ago
decided that a pair of well trained
bloodhounds would be a good invest
ment.
When the body of Clarence Boyd was
found back of the court house where
the unfortunate man had been carried
after being murdered, and a complete
mystery surrounding the case, Mayor
Harsha decided that the hounds should
be purchased as soon as good ones
could be found Fortunately the Boyd
mystery was solved, but the hounds
would have located the crime at once
and have settled some things that are
unknown even yet.
Two trained hounds have been pur-
chased and are now here. They will be
put to work soon.

appeal for a subvention is made to the

popular support in the declared inten-

encouragement can be offered to young
artists and where the development of
native operate art can be promoted.
In their appeal to the county council
the experience of important continen-

Atchison, July 8.-Since the erection
of the new cottage at the Soldiers Or
phans' home the institution is we'll
worth visiting, and it shows excellent
arrangement and perfect management
The children's dining room and the
kitchen are in one of the new cottages
and everything shows a perfect neat
ness and cleanliness that is not always
shown in such institutions. In the
girls dormitory are innumerable white
iron cots, comfortable chairs, and nu-
merous tables, where, after play and
study hours are over the children can
enjoy themselves.
The Sunday school is alive and full of
interest and the children sing exceed
ingly well. Rev. Conner. of the Bap-
fist church is the superintendent. The
chapel is finished in white and is decor
ated handsomely with evergreens. The
girls band have a room in which they
practice almost daily, and vie with the
boys on producing good music. On
the Fourth the children were given a
picnic in the woods near the home and
the day was celebrated in patriotic
style, with a display of fireworks in the
evening. 1t is an interesting place for
visitors.

Hill City, July s.-B. F. Poston, Of
this place, was in the Linwood railroad
wreck in January, 1873. He was on the
Union Pacific train, going to Kansas
City with stock. He brought suit in the
district court of Cloud county against
the Union Pacific road for $50, 900 dam
ages. and in April. 1895. the jury re-
turned a verdict in his favor, placing
the damage at $4,000. He was badly
crippled, and for months was a constant
sufferer from wounds received in that
wreck. The railroad companies APP
pealed the case to the supreme court
of the state, which court sustained the
verdict of the Cloud county court in
their hearing of the case on the 10th Of
June. And now they have filed their
motion for a new trial. Mr.. PostOn and
his many friends are watching the case
with great interest. The motion for
new trial has not been acted on yet,
but he expects to hear from Topeka in
a few days.

Brown county's candidate is R. F.

have a pull on Cy Leland for Brown

pull is complicated by W. T. Stuart of

Stuart is Leland's right hand man

Leland can hardly turn him down. An
