Nearly everybody who has fine
horses or bicycle managed to be out
in the vicinity of the Speedway on the

several magnificent specimens of horse

the speedway can scarcely be i'm

gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me
up. Fortunately, friend advised
trying h ectric Bitters;' aud to my
great joy and surprise the first bottle
made a decided improvement. | con-

IL also suffered intensely from femais
trouble.
IL doetored with ten different physicians,
but was not benefited. No two Of the dos
tors diagnosed my case the same.
Zone day my husband noticed an article
regarding DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People in the newspaper, and induced nx
to Try the pills.
81 began taking them, but experienced
no relief until had used the sixth box. /
continued taking them and after Using
eleven boxes was greatly benefited.
II was also troubled with nervous pros
tration and numbness OF my right hand and
arm. My hand hurt so at times, tingling
and burning, that could hardly endure
the pain, but that has all passed away.
now know what 1t means to eat good
meal without suffering afterwards, and en-
joy. good nights rest.
am again able 10 do my work, and
have done more this summer than in ali the
last tour years put together.
feel safe IN saying that IL Is at doe to
DR.. Williams Pink Fills for Pale People,
and consider it my duty to let people know
what these pills have done for me, as II
may be the means Of relief for others who
are suffering"
Diseases strange to physicians symp-
toms that deiied diagnosis, have succumbed
to the potent influence Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Druggists
everywhere consider them to be one Of the
most valuable remedial agents known to
science.

To Join the Grand Army.

The following resolution which was
made at the last meeting of the local
g. "A. r. post by Capt. 4. ). Slower
Is one which will interest thousands
or rather millions of people In this
country
Resoiued. That the delegates from this de-
partment to the National encampment be
earnestly requested to submit to such National
encampment an amendment to Article ",
Chapter ], of the rules and regulations of the
Grand Army of the Republic, to the effect that
soldiers aud sailors Of the U. S. army navy
or marine corps who have or may serve in the
present war with Spain between the 2lst day
OF April 1898 aud the close of such war, shall
be eligible to membership in the Grand Army
of the Republic. And further be 1t
Resolved That this resolution he forthwith
transmitted to the Department Commander for
his approval and such disposition as may be
necessary to put 1t into effect.
That this action Is proper and fit
ting no one will question. The boys
who are fighting now are fighting
for the same principles which actuat-
ed those Of '6l. The Grand Army
of the Republic Is one of the greatest
and finest orders on earth and the
boys of '9S will appreciate the honor
of membership should the National
Committee adopt the resolution.
The benefit resulting to the q. A.
r. will be as great The organiza-
ton which in a few more years would
have become memory by reason of
the death of its members, will be
perpetuated and the young soldiers
will continue the work OF the COM
rades who drop out of the ranks.
Moreover, the new order will include
many southern soldiers and the union
thus formed will tend still more to
bind up the wounds of the past and
make the G.. A. Il. order one of ma
tional scope and bind in friendship
all the defenders OF the stars and
stripes. 1t is proper move and It's
adoption by the National Encamp-
ment will meet with universal APP.

But this is comparatively small
matter. The main fact Is that THE
ROAD WILL BE BUILT We put
that statement In capital let
ters because the men who are at the
head of the enterprise tell us to; and
they are abundantly able to make
their word good. The road will be
built through the heart of the Allen
county gas field, extending distance
of seven miles from lola Already
there is demand for it from the 35
men at work at the shops of the lola
Manufacturing Company, from the 40

from the 100 men at work at the par

from 800 to 500 men at this last named
place, and almost certainly by that
time two more smelters short dis
lance this side Of the canyons, will be
well on the road to completion. With
in three years the factories will be so
thickly placed that only the best in
formed passengers on the lola Ropid
Transit line will be able to tell where
the city of lola leaves OF and the town
of La Harpe begins. The new street

fictitious values to outlying additions.
1t is legitimate business enterprise,
demanded by conditions that already
exist, certain to pay reasonable in

destined to be most potent factor in
the continued growth of lola. The
men who have undertaken the enter
prise are entitled to the hearty en-
and cooperation Of all
our citizens.

Bee contains the following:
Since Col. Funston joined his regi-
ment we have had wonderful i'm
provement in every line. He straight
ened out the commissary department
in hurry, and we are now eating
government rations. We get bread
beef. bacon, rice, coffee, beans, onions,
potatoes, sugar, and, what we missed
before, salt and pepper. Our com
pany has hired a cook at $40 month,
which we pay pro rata. Full rations
and good cooking are having a good
effect the men. They feel better
and show up better on drill. l have
gained nine pounds. Since Funston
came we have been getting better
treatment all around. Those of us
who enlisted first and have been here
the longest now get of without any
drill IN the afternoon.
