He had been out late. When he reached
his residence the church clock was Ginning
five. Heavy, weary, disgusted, he opened
the front door with some difficulty, and soft
ly toiled up the stairs, entering the bed
chamber with elaborate caution.
Thank goodness, she was asleep!
He dropped into a chair, and, without
taking off his coat or hat, began TO remove
his shoes. One he placed with great care
upon the floor, but, alas as he took off the
other it slipped out of his hand and fell
with a loud noise.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Grove Creamery at Hutchinson was In
town Friday last and had general in
teryiew with our business men and clli-
2ens. Mr.. Parker does not conceal the
fact that he regards Kearney county
as a peculiarly favorable location for
an ideal creamery station. and from
the number of visits he has made to
this city during the past few years we
feel safe in saying that in time we will
have him identified with the creamery
| business in this locality. lie ia an ad-
v0cate of the COW and the hen, both Of
whoa have demonstrated their money
making power in the accumulation OF
wealth In Kansas. Several prominent
mbn of the State advance the pioposi-
tiOn " starting an experimental dairy
farm o 900 cows and have the state
by act of the legislature donate or give
the use of u township Of land for that
purpose provided Mr., Parker can be in
duOed to head the enterprise. No man
In the State stands higher than Mr..
Parkei the creamery butter trade,
and with his long experience and
thorough information on the adyan
tages of this section, the enterprise
could not be otherwise than aC0mplete
success. The Shady Grove Creamery
has thirly-live skmming seations, and
pays out $780, ann ially for butter
fat, and with second plant in this
section he would no doubt have fully
as many to cover the territory In the
west end of the state, We would be
pleased to see Mr. Parker encouraged
to yet this excellent enterprise under
way, as II would mean much in the
continued development Of this favored
land along right lines"

Prosaic.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE debate on
the currency bill in the house today
was tame and prosiac. The attendance
both in the galleries and on the floor
was slight. and lone of the speeches
made attracted special attention. Sib-
ley, democrat Of Pennsylvania, who
had publicly announced his change of
views on the money question. and who
was thought might vote for the bill,
stated he would vote against 1t.
Thayer, democrat OF Massachusetts,
was the only member Of the opposition
who made a speech for the bill today.
The senate today, by a decisive vote
and practically without discussion. laid
on the table the Pettigrew resolution
Of inquiry as to whether or not the
United States forces had recognized
the Filipino insurgents flag and had
turned over Spanish soldiers to the in
s%urgents. 1t agreed to the house
Christmas recess resolution and agreed
to meet tomorrow to receive reports
on the composition Of its committees
for this congress.
