BUT THEY EMBRACED HIM.
So What Does Rev. Browder Care !
He Did Have q Frost,

A colored man who is making
speeches for Leedy and is advertised
as Grew" W. Browdcr difted into
town last Friday. He spoke in the
court house to just 46 people, less
than dozen being colored He
claimed that the colored people should
vote for Leedy because a colored regi.
ment was sent from Kansas to Cuba.
de forgot to say that latest reports
from the regiment are that it will vote
solid for Stanley. If Browder could
make speech and had few facts to
work on he would do his cause more
good. However, Brother Strother,
Brother Robson, Brother Erwin and
other devoted lovers OF the colored
man embraced him when he had fin
ished and he probably thought he
had done pretty well.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is iniamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear.
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

Saline Pop Leader Revolts From the
Party MANAGEMENT.

Salina Republican; One Ct the
most significant defections from the
Populist party is that of County Com
missioner Frank Barker who declares
that he is done with the Populist
party and has not been in sympathy
with it for the past three months.
This bold avowal plainly shows that
the honest men will not cling to an
organization that has fulfilled its des-
tiny or has become the machine of
corrupt bosses. Mr.. Barker was once
a leader in Populism and stood high
in the councils of the party. In fact,
he is one of the strongest men in the
Populist party of this county as the
unfortunate men who were candidates
against him can well testify.

WILL 90 10 KANSAS CITY.
@. b. Psttiion 70 Engage in Live
Stock Commission Business.

G. H. Pattis0n has been In Kansas
City several days and has decided to
accept position of one Of the man
ayers Of the Gillespie Live Stock Com
mission Co. The company is one in
which controlling interest has been
bought by Dickinson county stock
men, including J. S. Hollinger who is
president, the Gilletts. j. z. Reed,
and others. They had at first organ
lied the Central Commission company
but a few days ago bought out the old
firm Of Gillespie, one Of the leading
commission companies Of the west.
Mr.. Pattison was offered a fine posi-
ton in the company and will remain
at Kansas City, He still retains his
position Of vice president Of the Abb
lene National but will not have
active connection with it. His fami-
lv will remain here for the present
and probably permanently. Mr.. Pat
tison has all the qualifications Of
successful business man and has won
the esteem of all during his long res
idence here. He was deputy treasur.
er for four years, then treasurer for
four years, being elected by very
large majorities both times He has
been eminently successful and has
stood among the city's most popular
and progressive business men. While
greatly regretting that this new en-
terprise takes him from Abilene all
will wish for him a realization Of all
the company's hattering promise.
Mr.. Hollinger will also give his time
for the present to the company
though not removing from the coun-
ty. Under such able management
there is every indication Of aprosper'
Gus future.
Z. c. Hollinger succeeds Mr.. Patti
son in the Abilene National. Mr..
Hollinger has had six years expert
ence as assistant cashier Of the bank
and is not only number one account
ant but has the esteem and confidence
Of every acquaintance. The Abilene
National Is fortunate to secure him.
He is familiar with the institution
and with the county and Abilene is
glad to have him located here perma-
nently.

DEAD SEA FRUIT.
Will White Writes Of the Vanity Of
Political Ambition.

Emporia Gazette: II j. r. Burton
goes to the United States senate, and
probably he will some day, he will
have paid the price in full. This year
he is paying part of it. Every night
in the month he is out speech making;
every afternoon he stands before
crowds and talks. 1t is hard work.
No Kansas farmer puts in more time
at hard physical toll than Burton does.
Last night he had a crowded house at
Americas. The back of the big double
rooms OF the school house was filled
with men and women standing up. A
dozen people went up from Emporia.
Burton made good speech he al
way does. He is clearly the best
speaker in Kansas. He made a dis.
passionate appeal, delivered in the
conversational tone for the most
part, to the people, to stand up for
Mckinley. The speech made votes.
After the speech he got in buggy
and rode home through the cold
night air to Emporia. He ar.
rived at midnight. At 5 o'clock this
morning he went to Little River
in Rice county on the fast mail. He
is speaking there today. And all
this hustling, all this spending Of
good energy, all this discomfort and
this tribulation for the privilege Of
being United States senator and
associating with lot Ct old yahoos
who are stupid and ignorant and un-
interesting for the most part and who
have in their turn spent their youth
full years treading the same disagree
able path that Burton now is follow.
ing. Burton is bright man and is
loyal to his party-too loyal to be
sensible to his own interests. But
when you are snugly tucked in bed,
Mr.. Voter, remember that Burton is
standing in dingy opera house talk
ing to a crowd of Republicans, or
pounding over the Kansas prairie in
the dark buddled up in bis big over
coat, asking the boys in the front seat
how far it is to town. Burton will
be here next Friday. His speech this
year is unusually good. 1t is as in
teresting as a lecture, very high
toned and as the minstrel bills say,
'there will be nothing to offend the
most fastidious." A Populist can en-
joy it as well as Republican.

AN $500 sw1NDLz.
Two Real Estate Sharks Get q Large
Sized Purse.

The Herington Times tells Of a
new swindle that has been worked in
South Dickinson. Two men, a young
man and an elderly gentleman pur.
porting to be his father, went to a
loan agent in Council Grove saying
that they lived north Of Hope and
had just purchased farm in Morris
county and wanted to borrow $500 on
it with which to make Improvements
in the shape of nice house, barn,
etc. They showed warranty deeds,
abstract, ETC., for the land and claim
ed to be the true and lawful owners
in fee simple Of other lands in the
neighborhood, and that, too, in addi-
ton to the ranch they owned just
north Of Hope which they wished to
mortgage.
The loan agent finding the abstract
correct endorsed the papers and sent
them to the mortgage company and
in due time the $500 in cash was paid,
less a commission.
When the first interest payment de-
faulted the agent went to Hope and
found the land-which by the way
belongs to a man living in Galesburg,
Ill.,, and has been owned by him for
many years-but no mortgages were
found. They have skipped with their
$500 loan secured on forged papers.
