Our representative recently met
a lady who lives over in the south
west part of the county where calf
dysentrv or cholera has been quite
prevalent and fatal during the last
two years She says they had found
a satisfactory and sure remedy for
the disease, which was simply to
give the patient a teaspoonful of
Seeiye's Wasa Tulsa in a teaspoon
ful of castor oil, repeating as often
as necessary until a cure was effect
ed, The lady said that they had
cured calves by this treatment
whom they were so near dead as to
be scarcely able to swallow the med
icine and had always succeeded In
efectlng a cure. She wishes to have
1t published for the benefit of others
who had lost calves from this hIth
erto fatal disease.

When Editor Griffith in his IRE
publican made his babYish fight
on the Court honse people all over
the county thought he was growing
daft. When he made his fight on
his own party leaders. senator Ba-
ker and congressman Reeder, bus
party were sure he was going mad.
When he attacked commissioner
Henderson by calling him simply
a figure head on the Board, when
it was his vote which every time
gave him the printing, the Ellis
people thought him crazy.
But his last weeks issue shows
him crazIer than ever
He attacks commissioner Ger
ken and says 'she was engaged in
a questionable business before com
ing to Kansas 20 years ago.
AS he was running big groce-
ry store In New York city for sew
eral years until broke up by the
hard times and he emigrated to this
state IN the 20 boom, 1t shows he
is crazy OF malicious when he says
that the Grocery Business is ''a
questionable business He didn't
dare attack his 90 years life here.
He says there is 328 Republican
votes in the 1st district. Another
crazy remark or a deliberate lie
to deceive the voters. Stanley
received 158 in Ellis, 10 In HamiI
ton, Is II Pleasant hill and 25 in
Smokey and any child can figure
that but 21S.
He blabs out because the COM
missioners did not tax the people
more by levying for Interest when
there was already enough left over
from last year to pay another year
interest. No one but a crazy man
would want more tax levy.
Then be is crazy enough to try
and make treasurer Jacobs say that
there is $4,000 extra state money IN
his hands when it is less than 5000.
In fact his losing the printing &
its big pay, and the Post Office, has
turned his head.

To the Hotlrs.
AS one of You, let me say a
few words of great Importance to
every voter and taxpayer
While the Office of county SUR
VEYOR is considered of small i'm
portance and generally foots the
list, it Is, in fact, one of the most
important and requires a student
of geometry, a professional nah,
to perform the duties ofthe Office.
He must run the correct lines of
the farm or road when required
to and must know the compass TO
start right, and how to get the an
giles and corners. And the law
reads:-'It shall be the duty of the
county surveyor to campare the
magnetic with the true meridian
at least 4 times a Year, Joe Ma
quire is a nice boy but can he do
that! It also reads-''He shall
keep record hooks. One show

Magnetic needle, Another the cal
culations, by latitude and depar-
ture, of all surveys. Josie Ma
Quile may be good soldier boy,
the crowd can have his treating &
promise of support, but can he
keep these required records?
Surveyor Robbins is a profession

tics required by the law without a
cent of extra expense to the tax
payers ofthe county, But if You

that shipped it IN. This same
-four and bran he will ship to

Exactly like any trust or moncpc

The Ellis Review says we have
made a fight on Charlie johnson,
the candidate for commissioner.

For county clerk

VIII some one explain whv the
people SHOULD vote for John Schue
Ter for county clerk. He can Meth
er hardly speak, read or write the
English language, 6 a Has, man
a leadIcg republican knows him
well, don't speak very compliment
tary of him, and considers it as an
outrage to put such a man on the
ticket and expect Republicans to
vote for him, AS that Office needs
competent man to run it.
When Scheuler came to town
he wanted to withdraw. but GRIT
fifth got hold OF him, toted him to
Schwallers, Bussards and no doubt
maybe lied to him as he dosS in
his paper and he accepts. Now be
must help elect and last week he
said in his paper ''Blssing paid

New York World.)

The banks and the treasury alike
are suffering novel embarra ssment
They have too much gold.
There is a cash balance of +2S1,3S0 :
SIS in the treasury, of which S241,-
496, O16 is in gold, while the small re-
mainder is divided between treasury
notes. greenbacks and about four and
d quarter millions of net silver.
At the same time the banks have so
great glut of gold that their storage
facilities are overtaxed, and to get rid
of the burden they are paying larger
proportion than ever before of GUS
toms dues in the yellow metal. Thus
during March, 1897, no gold was re-
1898, the proportion of gold received
was 176 per cent; during March, 1899.
il was no less than S5.6 per cent, and
during the first ten days of April it
rose to S9.1 per cent
Americans do not and will not use
gold in ordinary business. This is
partly because of long habituation to
the more convenient paper money and
partly because we have small notes.
II England. where the smallest Bank
of England note is for 95, or $25, and
in France, where the smallest is 5Of.,
or $40, gold passes freely from hand to
hand and a large amount of it is kept
in circulation. Here we hurry our
gold to bank and the banks hustle it
into the treasury.
The present plethora of the more
precious metal cOnfutes some ecOnOm-
ic theories and disproves a great many
political prophecies, but facts are
things"
