A very disgraceful drunken
fight took place in one of the
'joints" last Sunday, in which
one man received an ugly cash
on the head, caused by a flying
beer bottle.-Hoisington Dis
patch.
THERE certainly must be some
mistake, neighbor. Hoisington
is one of the towns where the
good people are crying Hellelu-
jah! because of their ''having
closed the joints and driven out
the traffic. Such occurances as
you report are not supposed to
happen in your dry (?) town any
more. Why this discreplany?
The republicans have never yet
fused with their enemies for the
sake of the spoils of Office-the
other two parties have. Which
do you think the more honest
Clafiin Clarion.
Sometimes the democrats have
fused with their enemies. Once
we fused with the republicans on
the resubmission question in
Kansas. Down in Oklahoma,
and in one Or two counties in
Kansas democrats have fused
with republicans on county af-
fairs. But as a general thing
democrats fuse with their FRIENDS
the populists and free silver re-
publicans. In the above state
ment of the Clarion the editor of
course forgets that republicans
and popuists have been fusing
for years, to beat the democrats
in the southern states. He for
gets, we say, because we give
him credit for knowing at one
time this important fact

REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA.
Sound and Refreshing Sleep Follows
the Use of a Simple Remedy.

OF all the ills to which human flesh Is
heir perhaps the most wearing and mis-
cradle is that inability TO sleep. which
doctors call insomnia. Sleep is more
necessary than food. man would
perish from want Of sleep sooner than
from lack OF food.
1t becomes. then. a matter Of the Deep
est importance to know Of some simple
remedy which will seal our eyes in sweet
forgetfuness. Such an agent has been
discovered II is needless 20 reproduce
the letters. letters which come in nun
dreds. but we may mention the case OF a
lady in Massachusetts, who for six long
years suffered from nervous prOstratiOn
and from insomnia.
The most famous doctors tried and
tried in vain. TO bring refreshing sleep to
her tired faculties until at last, under the
advice OF her physician, for she was a
strict temperance woman. she tried
Dufys Pure Malt Whisky and now she
sleeps as calmly and as soundly as a little
child.
The letter ends with the following:
while Mrs. Chase has always been
staunch in her temperance principles and
consistent I'm practice. she has no hesita-
ton I'm recommending 10 inyalids. who
reed gentle stimulant, Dunys Pure
Malt Whisky"

ANCIENT COINS.
Rumor Of the PIoughed-Up Pot Of Cold
Confirmed by the Finder

WELDON. y. c.. May 23.-Special-Ihe
story OF the finding of a pot Of gold by
Young farmer I'm this county is confirmed
hv that gentleman himself. His name is
J. d. Pittard. and his farm is located
near Aurelian Springs. He says the pot
was made Of strong iron and showed
signs OF having been long years In the
earth. When questioned as to the amount
he laughted and said it was not as much
as $1,000 but that the sum realized was
quite a help to him.
Some of the pieces are quite pretty
those he exhibited-and, as stated In my
letter Of Monday, they date way back
to 1913 and 115.
Mr. Pittard is q Woodworking farmer
and lives on nice little place near the
ripping waters that flow from the
springs. He has ploughed the field many
q day before. he saws, but only to turn
up the soft. rich soil
This time he was running his plow un-
usually deep when he struck the little
iron pot containing tho gold. He doesn't
expect 20 find any more of the yellow coin
at the same place. for he has worked up
the land pretty we'll for some distance.
1 have thoroughly investigated the mat
ter and find that the report was greatly
exaggerated as TO his finding 5000 but he
certainly found the gold and be IL much
or little. what he exhibited here will
amount TO So at par value and the
pieces being old and quaint looking they
arc doubtless worth many times their
face value.
