AFTER THE REVIEW.

After the review of the 10th Cavalry
by the President, Gen Wheeler and
the regiment were entertained at lunch
and in a speech which the Cen
eral was compelled to make, he
said: 81 want to introduce to you an
officer who by his conspicuous gallan-
try and highly distinguished services,
won the admiration of all who saw
him. | saw him myself in three days
battle lead his men in this gallant
manner. That officer is Capt. Ayres
Of the 10th Cavalry" Capt. Ayres, in
reply, said that he wished the honor
and credit given to the men in ranks
who carried the carbines, who dug
the trenches, stood in them. and filled
them with their dead bodies, covering
up their comrades. A Washington
paper says that it was to Mrs. AyreS
that the reception of the 10th was due,
and to her untiring efforts, aided by a
number of loyal women and generous
, citizens. that it became great Sccess.
Mrs. Ayres was aided by the Misses
Ida and Lilly Neumeyer When Capt.
Ayres' Co. E saw him greet her a
Sergeant approached and asked if the
men might be presented, which she
kindly granted.
Captain Ayres carried the cartel

his father, lived and entertained a, none

Farmer Rutledge, of Sedgwick, is a
business man. He keeps as strict and ac-
curate accounts Of his operations as a
farmer as any business man does. This
he has done for twenty years. BY means
OF these accounts he Is able TO make some
figures which he says are quite accurate
as to the loss which he has suffered by
the diversion Of the Arkansas waters
by Colorado irrigators. In his accounts
there Is shown deficiency Of eleven
bushels Of corn to the acre for the past
eighL years.
The old row between Ed Greer and
Tom Eckert still goes. These two Re-
publican journalists seem to find that one
county Is too small to provide sufficient
plunder for both. In his latest Eckert
says that Greer offered to do a county job
Of printing for SIG and then swOre to q
blll for $72 for 1t, that he has $4,000
judgment against him, that he bolts the
party ticket and supports the opposition
candidates, that he is a 'blackmailer,
perJurer and all-around sCoundrel," and
that he is "stench in the nostrils of
every honest man in the county" AS IL
this were not enough he reprints letter
in which Greer wrote Governor Morrill,
recommending Eckert as a competent
and satisfactory man for a job on the
board Of pardOns. Eckert closes his
warm roast by Offering to send his paper
one year to any person who will say
that he would believe Ed Greer on oath,
and assign reasons for such belief, for
publication in these columns" This all
goes to show what might be expected
il Republicans would generally engage
in telling the truth about each other.

A complaint has been filed with the
Railroad Commissioners in which it is
alleged that discriminative rates are
charged by the Missouri Pacific from

and from that place to other points.
The Manhattan school board has de-
cided not to fight the suit to compel the
cancellation Of the old book contract

Governor Leedy says that plenty Of
colonels, majors and that sort of thing
are volunteering their services for the
Spanish war but that the privates are
not being heard from to an alarming ex-
tent. He thinks that sixteen colOnels to
one private is not exactly the proper
ratio, although he is not prejudiced
against 16 to propositions in financial
matters.
Secretary Of State Bush is still busy
wedding out the worthless and defunct
corporations. Several corporations which
are known to be alive have ignored his
request for statements. He will insti
tute legal proceedings against enough
of these to bring others to time. He pro-
poses to insist on the enforcement of
this provision of law and in so doing he
does good work.
About 400 politicians, more or less,
have been working like beavers for
long time to get new Federal district
created. 1t would carry with 1t lot OF
new offices costing about $4,000 year,
but the same fellows object to Governor
I4eedy's "extravagant" recommendation
for the creation of an Office of attorney
TO the railroad commissioners, notwith-
standing that it would be necessary If
his bill passes and that the salary would
be comparatively nothing.
If there is one officer in the State
house who is laboring harder than any
other to do something for the people
it is Superintendent Stryker. The great
est item of expense to taxpayers is the
public school. There are so many abuses
and wastes of public funds In connection
with school work that it is hardly possi-
bic for one man to think out plans to
correct them. But MFR. Stryker is GER
tainly doing all that he can do in this
direction.

What a Relief
1t Would Be
To Feel That You Were Protected
from Such Dangerous Diseases
AS Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs,
Colds, Pneumonia and Consumption Dur
ing the Coming Winter-That Such
Protection Can De Given Is
No Longer Doubted.

There is not 4 father, mother, sister or
brother throughout this country but who
will admit that they have a dread of
the coming winter, and fear that some of
their family may become a victim of one
of the above dangerous diseases. Yet this
fear can be overcome and this feeling OF
dread changed TO one of security and
confidence, If thay will accept the evil
dence of thirty Height hundred doctors,
and the testimony of three hundred and
twenty-seven thousand people, who have
adopted the Australian Dry Air Treat
ment for these diseases. This new germi-
eide, HYOMEI, and the method of apply
ing same, without the use OF dangerous
sprays, douches. atomizers or vaporS, has
accomplished more good in the way of
preventing and curing these diseases than
all other methods or remedies combined,
persons out OF the thousands upon thou
sands treated have reported no benefit re-
ceived, and the majority of these were
persons in the last stages of consumption.
In the face of such overwhelming evil.
dence, Is il any wonder that The r. T.

the people from disease, and show their
confidence in the new remedy by guaran-
teeing to refund the money in case OF
failure.
