the usual way in Baxter Springs,
Owing to the rain not as many peo-
pie came to town as usually do on

with all other old soldiers, sailors
and citizens present, met at the
Grand Army hall and marched to
the city hall park where Rev. Wind
bigler of Cherokee delivered the
principal address of the occasion.
The address was good one and
was listened TO by q large multi
tude. II was patriotic In ita nature,
yet practical.
At the close of the address the
procession formed and proceeded
to the cemetery where the graves of
departed heroes were strewed with
beautiful flowers by girls who had
been drilled for the occasion.
The principal feature of the pa.
rade was an imitation of the Battle
ship "Maine" on wagon. The
"Maine" was manned by twenty-five
little boys in marine uniform under
command of ]. p. Hartley. The
maine" was beautifully decorated
with the national colors and at.
tracted much attention.
J.P. Hartley and Miss Nettie Do.
ty worked hard IN drilling the boys
and girls fYr: the occasion. and

charges carried out their parts.

pie "f the United States have OF

"Doc" McAleer writes an open
letter to the mayor of Chetopa, in
which he says: "Issuing warrants
for half dozen of as good farmers
as live in Cherokee county because
one man by the name of Doc Nc.
Aleer made speech on the streets
on the evening of Odd Fellows day
does not pay. Swearing out those
warrants lost Chetopa considerable
trade. Doc McAleer had Is head of
hogs for sale that averaged $50 lbs.
They were ready for the market; but
instead of taking them to Chetops,
as he would otherwise have done,
when he heard of the issuing of
those warrants he took them to Ga.
lena, rather than to be arrested for
nothing. On .hie way back he spent
the money they came to at Colum-
bus, buying go worth of agricul-
tural implements, besides leaving
an order for Deering binder cost
ing $l25. One of the entirely inno-
cent men against whome warrants
were sworn out went TO Oswego
and purchased nearly 500 worth of
lumber that otherwise he would
have got at Chetopa. So you zee
You lads In Chetopa have lost all
this trade, and more that we have
not mentioned. The farmers are
the hub of the wheel In this coun-
try, and II Il wac not for them the
grass would grow In yodr streets;

around to swear out warrants for
trivial causes, or 20 cause, make
them put mp q bohd for the cost
That will put q stop to driving your
trade away.

Recently while over in the state
of kansas we had the pleasure OF
inspecting an ideal money-making
farm of about 1000 acres. II is the
property of S. C. Hanna, well known
to many readers of this paper, and
is located near Howard, Elk county,
Kansas. The greater portion of
this large area of land is tame and
native grass lands, and is fenced
into pastures. Mr.. Hanna is an i'm.
porter and breeder of fine stock, es-
pecialIy cattle and horsee. His
fields contain some as fine animals
as can be found anywhere on the
globe. This farm has been brought
up to that point where the annual
increase and sales of fine-bred
stock runs easily to $4,000 to $4,000
per year. The farm is yet a money
maker under proper management,
and live stock is the key to profita.

IIE-rER TO mrs. fiSxHAM NO. I2733J
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years l had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
1 became no better and finally broke
down entirely. Ny troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling OF the womb
and Inflammation OF ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. Invent back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and 60 to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and .
package of her Sarative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you look! and
you may be sure never hesitate to tell

MaBelle Davies and Belle Darling, the
marvellous dancers with Hoyt's IA
Stranger in New York which comes to
the Crawford Grand, Wichita, next

selves to the conventional and time

poses that have succeeded in setting
the entire theatrical world agog, until
now the names of Davies and Darling
are on everyone's tongue. Chas. Hook

also a member of this company, and no
company was ever more strongly forth

recent death of highly esteemed and
benevolent millionaire in New York.;
from apoplexy-from which also his:
father died before him-is all explain
ed in the newspapers as a logical Sc:
quence Of his having much money. We!
have always thought, in our ignorance,
that cerebral hemorrhages were due to;
disease of the coats of tie arteries, and:
that this disease in turn was due to ir-..
ritant or morbid states of the blood.
A million of money is not one of the.
things that circulates in these chan.
nels, and a millionaire has no more;
monopoly of atheromatous patches I'M
his arteries than beggar. All the:
worry for gold imaginable could no:
more produce such a patch than it;
could cause wart on a mans nose:
Let money bear its fair share of re-;
sponsibility in the world, but let usi
not load it down with too much path0l-:
ogy. Its possession and proper use:
tend to health and prolongation of lifeI
rather than the contrary. 1t is poverty;
and privation that are of close kin tot
disease even newspaper report
ers might recognize the fact that a,
more even distribution of wealth:
would not be injurious to the health.
