Head of Salvation Army Makes
Brief Stop in Topeka.

Commander BOoth-Tucker Of the Sal
walton Army passed through Topeka
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, over
the Santa Fe, en- route from Denver to
Kansas City. At Kansas City he Will
preside over a two days convention Of
officers and delegates of the Salvation
Army, from army posts located in the
southwest division, which includes the
states Of Kansas. Nebraska. Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Kansas City, Mo.
In conversation with a Journal re-
porter, Commander BoOth-Tucker said:
This convention which we hold this
year at Kansas City is very important
to the Salvation Army All business
pertaining to the Army as well as any
complaints which may be made are
taken UP and freely discussed and dis
posed of in the best possible manner.
Changes in officers will be made at this
convention and appointments of new
captains viii take place. This change
of officers which is made IS one of the
things which tends to keep the Saliva
ton Army up TO its usual high stan
dard, for in this way no one officer
stays at the same place long enough to
become stale before a new man takes

BUILD A SEWER.
One VIII Be Badly Needed For New
Branner School

The school board finds that st viii
be impossible under the present cOndi-
tons to have modern sanitary plumb
ing in the new Branner school building
for the reason that there is no sewer
connection
The building will be on the corner
of Third and BTanner streets. The near
est sewer main is at Fourth and Jeffer-
son streets 1000 feet away. A private
sewer might be run to the river 5000
feet away but all of this would be very
expensive. City Engineer Barnes
thinks that within year a sewer dis
trict will be formed east Of Jefferson
street as there has been considerable
talk on the subject among the resi-
dents in that part of the city
If a sewer district is made the school
board will have to pay their part II
a private sewer is built now IL would
eventually make two sewers for the
school board to pay for. The board
has decided to abandon the idea Of
plumbing the building at present but

view of plumbing when the sewer IS

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines

From the Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad.
n. c.
1t may be question whether the editor
of a newspaper has the right to pubIiczT
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market. yet as
q preventive Of suffering we feel it a duty
to say a good word for Chamberlain }
Collie Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
We have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and have
always found IL reliable In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours OF
suffering while a physician is awaited We
do not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure. but We do be-
lieve that if a bottle Of Chamberlain j
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception Of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence Of q
physician would not be required At least
this has been our experience during the
last twenty years For sale by all drug

The question of holding a street fair
this fall IN connection with the regular

meeting with general approval. and a
disposition is manifest to carry it
through. The design is to erect decora-
ted booths along the business streets, in
which the merchants and business men
can make any display they see fit. Every
morning during the fair there will be
free entertainment of every description,
with plenty of COOL music. As contem-
plated. these entertainments will be now
ell and will prove very pleasant events to
the thousands Of peapIe who attend the
Finney county fair. The street fair will
in no manner interfere with the regular
fair. but will be supplemental thereto, As
all the entertainments will take place in
the morning evening when there is MOTH
ing Of importanc going on at the regular
fair. To carry out this project it will be
necessary for every citizen Of the city to
help it along. Garden City can get up .
splendid entertainment OF this kind
which will benefit the town and afford

Que reason why the beef 10 so tough In
the growing regions is because the BUTCH
cred animal has travelled over so much
range for subsistence and this marching
around Ia search of feed has developed
the muscles. There are no beef fed
herds In the ranch county, and fat cat
tie are. not furnished the butchers stall.
Hence, We often hear that the growers
sell their best cattle to the city markets
ard the poorer cattle are left for the
butchers to purchase. BIT this is not al
together true. The local butcher furnish.
es the best meat he can find. With lit.
tie Of stall feeding it would make
some diference in the animals fat and
