! A CHANGE OF PURPOSE. }
BY THOMAS P. MONTFORT. !

SesesG&SeeSessSSS@SeeeeG

NTHEN silas Ryan, the proprietor
wv and manager of Ryan's ranch,
set his employees at work fencing in
large body Of the best government land
in southern Kansas. he stirred up
good-Sizcd' hornets nest and brought
the insects buzzing angrily about his
head. lie had no shadow OF right to the
land, and naturally the settlers and
homeseellers resented his cool appro-
priatiou of il to his own use. There
were men who wanted it for homes. and
who were entitled to ii under the laws,
and these men looked upon Ryan's con-
duct as a base infringement on their
rights and were not sparing in their de-
nunciation Of him and his order
Near Ryan's ranch there was little
town known as Prairie City. 1t was an
insignificant place. with less than 200
population. but ii gave promise Of great
things in the future. It's inhabitants
and the settlers on the prairie about it
believed that in time Prairie City would
become one of the leading towns of
Kansas. Unfortunately. however, the
hopes Of those people were never TO be
realized. railroad was soon after
built through that part Of the coun-
try, and it missed Prairie City by just
two miles. The result was new town
on the railroad and the death Of the old
one. Prairie City went the way Of hum
dreds of other Kansas towns. Its popu-
lation took up their possessions, includ-
ing their houses. and moved across the
prairie to the railroad.
In Prairie City's halcyon days, how
ever. il boosted of a newspaper, the
Prairie City Eagle. 1t was not much Of
paper, being small and poorly printed,
but it was quite as good as its patron
age justified It's subscription list was
extremely limited and its advertising
business was dwarfed to one column Of
display matter and few lines Of pay
locals.
The Eagle, as a matter Of course,
stood by the town people and the set
tiers. and when Ryan set his men to
fencing in the public lands for grazing
purposes IL came out with strong
editorial denouncing him in the sever
est terms. pronounced his action dis
honest, as he was stealing the peoples
rights. II went further and said that
It was the lowest and most contempti-
BILE species of dishonesty, since by 1t he
was stealing homes from poor. strug-
Cling men and their wives and children,
thereby robbing them Of chance TO
earn an honest Living.
1T is the duty Of the homeseekers,"
It went on, "to protect themselves
against the encroachments of this
greedy cormorant. who. for the sake Of
adding to his ill-gotten wealth. would
starve even the innocent. unconscious,
helpless babe in its mothers arms. 1t
is the duty of the settlers to band to-
Gether, TO take the law in their own

Had DefauIted Taxes on Nearly
ALI Its Lands
IN KANSAS COUNTIES
For 1896 and 1897 and Now
Desires to Recover Titles
By Compromising ON Interest
Disputes With Commissioners.

Russell Springs, Nov. 26.-In nearly
all the Kansas counties through which
the Union Pacific railway runs, the
taxes upon it's lands were unpaid for
1896 and '97, and the lands were sold
for taxes. In the past few weeks, the
tax commissioners of the reOrganized
company have been tryingto compromise
these taxes instead of paying them an
full, as individuals have to do.
The railroad claims that the lands
were not legally sold and couldn't have
been because the road had no right or
power to sell said lands until authorized
so to do by the court that appointed the
receivers. Hence they are trying to in
duce the commissioners in the several
counties to settle for the face of the
taxes, throwing off all interests and
advertising charges.
In Ellis county they got the Demo-
cratic board to do this and make fur
Their cut of 25 per cent In this county
(LOgan) the Populist board refused to
full taxes, interest and charges must be
paid. In Russell county the POpulist
board did not even refer the legal pro-
positions involved, to their county at
tOrney, but decided to accept the face
of the taxes on all certificates that the
county holds, but insisting on the in
terest and charges on all certificates
which are held by individual purchasers,
whom the county would have to pay IN

Gates. The latter board is now wonder
they have no right to reduce the rail-
roads taxes

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure
of piles, was the most remarkable rem
edy he had ever seen or tried in one
respect; and that was the instant re-
lief experienced in all cases, no matter
how severe, from the moment the rem
edy was applied. This was the more
surprising to him because he had care
fully analysed the preparation and no
trace of opium, cocaine or similar poi
son could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up-
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is
rapidly taking place of surgical opera
lions and because it is so simple so
easily applied and contains no mineral
or other poisons so commonly used in
cures.
DR. Esterbrook reports that the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure not only cures the var
ious forms of piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often aStonished al the in
slant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from business
or interference with daily occupation.
