A REAL HERO.

#
At the banquet rendered him by the
Knife and Fork club of Kansas City,
recently, General Funston made a
speech. In that speech he said he was
not hero. Anyone, however, who
reads the following extract from
General Funston's remarks will be in
clined to think the general is greatly
mistaken:
81 am not hero. I don't feel like
one. Just an officer-that is all I am
who has been very fortunate because
the officers and men under him have
never failed to follow him when he
went somewhere. I know that it has
been my lot to receive the major por-
ton of the honor that belongs to the
men. i give them three-fourths and
claim only a share of the rest. There
were and are great many officers and
men in the Philippines who have done
Drawer deeds-braver were never done
and whose names pass unchallenged,
with no cheer. They never get into
the papers. On the night OF April 27,
1899, when General Macarthur told me
that the Grand river bridge would have
to be taken, and asked sixteen officers
and men to go with me where to be
taken meant certain dea.l, fifty of
them were eager to go. Since I have
returned to America / have not heard
one word about Captain O'Hara, who
was one Of the bravest and most effic-
lent officers in the Orient. Numberles;
instances could be mentioned where
bravery has not been applauded."

ADDS HIS EVIDENCE,
Story Is the Same az From
Other Sources.
Lots Of Money spent but no ReturMs
Have Been Received.

The people in Iowa willingly add
their evidence to that which has al
ready been given in favor OF Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for back
ache, kidney and urinary disorders,
sleeplessness and nervousness. Our
druggists report wonderful cures and
state that Kid-ne-oids are daily in
creasing in the opinion OF our neople.
Kid-ne-oids act directly upon the kid
neys and nerves and restore them to
their natural condition. Good kidneys
make good blood, good blood makes
strong nerves, Kid-ne-oids make good
kidneys and strong nerves.
Mr.. James Koba, 610 South Birch
street, Creston. Iowa, says: II have
been troubled with my kidneys for ten
years. Sometimes the pain in the
small OF my back was SO severe that I
could hardly do my work. was also
troubled with swelling Of the feet and
very annoying and painful. / took
rections and was greatly relieved OF
all my trouble. i continued to take
them and the backache is gone, urin-
airy troubles corrected and the swelling
gone from my feet. will cheerfully
recommend Kid-ne-oids."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets, and sell at fifty
cents box at all drug stores and at
Clark & Mollison's drug store.

terest the whole country. A majority
for Taylor, the republican candidate, is
in the ballot boxes beyond denial,
though the Goebel democrats were in
control of the election machinery of
the state, the counties and the pre-
cincts. The extent to which this work.
ed to the disadvantage of the repnhl;-
can candidate, by obstruction and o,h-
elwise, can never be known. In spite
of the Goebel election boards, supreme
everywhere in the precincts, the re-
turns give majority of several thou
sand for Taylor. AS the Goebel law
failed to pervert the election at the
polls to the extent desired its other
provisions are brought into play to
falsify the count.
Several counties must be thrown out
bodily to effect this result. In Nelson
county the name of Taylor was cor
rectly spelled on the tickets, but the
county clerk, a Goebelite, had certifi-
Gates printed in which Taylor's middle
initial was erroneous. This misprint,
due to county clerk devoted to the
candidate who is to be the beneficiary
of the error, is relied on to get rid of
119s votes. In Knox county it is pro-
posed to throw out Taylor majority
of 1890 because it is alleged the ballots
were too thin. In Lewis county there
is Taylor majority of 7O4, but the
election officers, without giving rea-
sons, refuse to certify the returns.
Even these changes would not secure
a Goebel majority, SO other counties
are held in reserve for whatever fur
ther manipulation may be needed. Goe-
bel claims his election by daily tele-
gram, though the figures have been
plainly against him from the first. He
is consistent in one respect. His cleo
ton law was conceived and pushed
through the legislature to insure his
faction against the loss of any cleo
ton. After inventing sure thing
game he simply takes the next step in
applying it.

THE SUPPLEMENT.

This weeks supplement to the Cour-
fer will be no whit less interesting
than it's predecessors. It's chief feature
will be a woman's page, full OF enter
tanning reading, not only for women
but for men, too. On it will be found
Daisy Mays breezy and exclusive fash
ion letter, with handsome four-col-
umn illustration; a story of the work
the Red Cross society has done in pre-
yious wars and is doing in those now
raging, with an effective three-column
illustration, and Mary Scott Rowland's
Talk to Women. There will also be a
number of other short bits of informs
alton of interest to women.
y The second installment Of 'The
Story OF an African Farm" will also
apuear in this weeks supplement. The
timely publication Of this classic in
serial form is exciting much gracious
comment on the Courier's enterprise
and judgment. Dealing, as it does,
with Boer life and Boer customs this
story throws stronger light on the
Transvaal country than any history
or encyclopaedia can possibly bring to
hear. Miss Schreiner, the talented au-
thoress Of the tale, possesses an infinite
ability to bring her readers into init
mate contact with her scenes and char
acters. She makes us see South Afri-
ca as it really is, just as Kipling has
made. US see India. Courier readers
