Prosperity is Here.

Prosperity Is here, says Editor w.
A. White, in the Emporia Gazette.
Try, to hire u carpenter to do little
jag of work and see how long it takes
to find man.
Try to get farm hand and see
how Independent he is about his
work.
Try to buy steer and hear the
man laugh If you offer him Grover
Cleveland's prices.
Try to sell hog and see what a
market you have.
Try to build a house and see how
much more the labor bill foots up and
how long you have to wait for men
and lumber.
Everyone is busy, Every mill
wheel is spinning. Every mine is
filled with labor. Every wagon is
loaded. Every store is crowded.
Every hotel is full.
Facts are facts. 1t doesn't take
statistics to prove these things. Use
your eyes, use your ears, use common
sense, and see the difference in Com
mercial street today and three years
ago. See the difference In the farms
and farm houses of Lyon county COM
pared with conditions In '95.
Prosperity ia here.

GIVE The CHILDREN AlpRlNK

called Grain-O. IT is a delicious, APP
petizing, nourishing food drink to
take the place of coffee. Sold by all
grocers and liked by all who have
used it because when properly pre-
pared it tastes like the finest coffee
but is free from all its injurious
properties. Graino-O aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. 1t IL
not a stimulant but health builder,
and children, as we'll as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs
about / as much as coffee. 10 and 20

Another Gas Well.

Gas was struck Saturday in
the new we'll drilled by Fred Horton
for the lola Gas Company on the lot
near the depot.
The well Is comparatively small
one, probably yielding between two
and three million cubic feet daily.
But as it is in location where no
big wells have ever been found, and
where even small well ID by no
means certain, the Company Is very
well satisfied with il. And after all
when one stops to figure 1t up, a well
which furnishes fuel equivalent to one
hundred tons of coal day is not to be
despised.
The gas from this we'll will be con-
Quoted by pressure pipe up to TIE
north part of town and there intro
duced into the mains, with the result
1t is hoped, of furnishing that part of
town with an abundant supply of gas
for even the coolest weather.

INJURED INA RUNAWAY.
Wild Horse IDjures Two Persons and

Late Friday afternoon Mir c. Yoss and family and Mrs. =Bettie Holton almost met death in 8 run away. They were out driving be- hind a new horse tha5 had been rec, commended to Mir. Voss as "gentle as a lamb, when he took notion to run. emotion lstruck him as he was trotting along Laurel street just south of Sixth avenue. He kicked the buggy and splln tered the front part. Mr, Voss advised bis wife and children and Mrs. Holtor to jump. They all did so. Fortu- rately the children escaped uniniur- ed. but Mrs. Voss' dress cought in a wheei and she was dragged about fifty feet. The wheels also passed over her foot. She was badly skin ned about the body and face.
 Mrs. Bolton vas thrown head first aoainst a curb-stone, She was rem dered unconscious for several hours, but we are pleased to state that she is resting easier at this writing. Mrs. Bolton was formerly Of Hot Springs, but recently accepted a DO sition 10 teach in the public school here.
 MT. yoss succeeded in stopping his animal, but not until it had ran several blocks.

 New York, April 50 This week s letter is for the great army of people who march under the banner of spin steshood. Single blessedness, says somebody. Very well, If you think it is blessed to be single4 probably you are right, so far as your case is concerned. But Nox. says a read- CT, "of course. you do not mean that there cannot be otherthtngs, which operating in a woman $ life, may make marriage a secondary thing with her, do you?"
 can understand hoy q burning ambition on the part of a woman say the ambition ta follow q profess sional career-may make marriage T secondary thing with her. 1 can also understand how q woman. who, af- ter observing the many cares and the limited opportunity for intellect uaI growth in the lives of some mar ried women, should think it better, on the whole, for her to give dp any thought of marriage, although the desire for such life might not be en- tirely absent ia her. I can also un= derstand how woman who has been courted. honorabIy as she be- lieved, only to be deserted after years of attention by her so-ealled lover, should come TO feel that she can trust no man with her heart for life.
 And who has not mt t the girl who says: ''I am able to earn a good liv- ing. and. on the whole, prefer to re- main single and have my money to use as I please. During the winter l have my share of good times. and when summer comes can go to the seashore, pay my board out of my earnings, be independent out of life. l am better of as 1 am."

old-Time Instinct Missing

To these three classes of D. ople would say that while l do not en- tirely agree with you, yet, perhaps, you are justified in think as you do when the question is considered from our point of view. There are, ho W ever, other women who give none of these reasons, but W ho, when mar riage is spoken of, toss their heads, curl their lips and ask in haugh1y accent, "Is marriage the only aim in life?'' They speak of it disdainfullr, as if they were living in an atmos- phere in which such an undesirable thing as marriage is not to be thought Of. To such we would say this letter is not intended for you. We do not understand you. You dress almost like men. You regard married women as slaves to men, and you lack that old-time instinct of our grandmothers, who believed that to be wife and mother was an honorary position among woman kino. We do not know how to classify you. The biologists call our attention to lower forms of lie in the animal kingdom which are not purely masculine or feminine, and so they classify them as "neuters." You l certainly lack the most powerful in stinct in womankind, and you art not men, however hard you try te
 be such. God did succeed in naaklnp

some women in the professions. md for more of them in business lie. know that so far as ability is con- cerned these women excel some of their brothers in these pursuits. know that there are exceptional cases where it isno doubt better. and therefore right, for women to shut out from their thought any idea of q home of their own, and to every woman who is not married because other people are dependent upon yon for support we send the m ost kindly greeting this Sunday morning. You are not ashamed to acknowledpe that you would ike to be in a home of your own, the wife of d true heart- ed man. But circumstances have been and are against you, and you are what you are because Of your innate nobility, Yours is q life of self-sacrifice, which is the sublimest expression of love. You have an aged mother, or an invalid sister. or
 
 an unfortunate father who needs your financial aid. To withdraw your support from the family would. cause the wo to cross the door-sIll And s } you hide your secret in your worthy heart, lad go forth daily to your toll, inspired by the thought that your sacrifice means comfort and happiness to a life that is de- pendent upon your efforts. Your badge of spinsterhood is one to be proud of. There ls reas OH, and most excellent, too. that you ire what you are. All honor to you and thousands of readers will, we think. re-echo our sentiment.
 But the majority of our maiden sisters are single not because they have others dependent upon them for support; not because they are so absorbed in other walks in life that marriage becomes secondary thing: not because they look with disdain upon the marriags lie, not because they wouldn,t get married if the right opportunity occurred. for hey frankly say they would be glad to unite heart and hands with somebody el1e upol the highway Of life.
