men responded, the remaining two be-
ing deprived of the pleasure of the
evening by ill-health or previous en-
gagement. The gentlemen assembled
at the Caledonia insurance office, on

remarks, and following came Senator

about the genial host, and the evening
was very happy one.

night in honor of her cousin, Miss Ella

been her guest for some time past, and
who will depart for her home on next

TIE CLIFFORD BROS, SALE.

The public sale of registered ShOrthorn
cattle as announced by the Clifford Broth
ers, of Milford, Kans., took place last Tues
day at Manhattan, Kans. When the we'll
known auctioneer Col s. A. Sawyer, opened
the sale at o'clock p. M. about 300 pros
tive buyers and OnloOkers were in attend
ance from Kansas and Nebraska. While
the prices realized were not sensational
ones, yet enough was had to demonstrate
that there is money in wellbred @Reds and
Roans" The Messrs. Clifford were pleased
at the result and stated that the sale was
more of an educational one rather than o
money maker During the early eighties a
section of country embracing several coun-
ties along and contiguous to the Blue River
valley was noted for its extra good beef cat
tie and the Giifords are ambitious TO have
it so once more. The buyers were mainly
Kansans, though few of the offerings went
to Nebraska. Sixteen Of the older bulls
averaged $l0l, and @ younger ones, calves,
brought an average of S53.20. The II fe-
males averaged 1927. The cattle had not
been fitted up TO the usual sale day COndi-
tion, yet the prices brought indicates that
the farmer buyers are on the way for bet
ter beef cattle, as he seems willing to pay
500 for a good bull rather than $50 for an
ordinary animal. w. p. BRUSH.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
DON'T Know lt.

There is a disease prevailing ia this cOun-
try most dangerous because so deceptive.
Many sudden deaths are caused by it,
heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or
apopleXy are often the result of kidney dis
ease, If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poison in the blood is lia-
bic to attack the vital organs, or the kid
neys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell. Then the richness OF
the bl0Od-the albumen-leaks out and the
sufferer has Bright's Disease, the worst
form OF kidney trouble. Kidney trouble
can be detected although it be slow and
deceptive First, by analysis of the urine;
second, by the simple test Of setting the
urine aside in glass or bottle for twenty
four hours, when cloudy or brick-dust
settling indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that in His
infinite power and goodness the Great Ply
sician caused Swamp Root to grow for the
benefit of suffering mankind, leaving il for
DR.. Kimer, the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, to discover it and make II known
to the world. It's wonderful efficacy in
promptly curing the most distressing cases
is truly marvellous.
BY sending your address to Dr. KilmeT
& Co., Binghamton, N, Y, you may have
a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and a
book that tells more about it, both sent ab-
solutely free by mail.
When writing be sure and mention read
ing this liberal offer in Topeka Advocate
and News. The regular flfty-cent and one
dollar sizes are sold by most druggists.

NEXT WEEKS SUNNY SLOPE HERE
FORD SALE.

The attention of the breeding public is
again called TO the sale of l02 Sunny Slope
registered Herefords that will take place
next week, on Tuesday, at the Kansas City
Stock Yards sale barn. The offerings that
have been catalOgued consist of 4S service
able bulls, mature cows, 40 2-year-Old
heifers and yearlings, that represent
range OF breeding from which individual
animals can be selected good enough to go
in any herd or suit the fancy or prospective
buyers. The former public sales made by
the Sunny Slope management, March and
December, 1893, were TO that extent snc-
cessful that the reputation of this farm be-
came famous among the breeders Of white
faces in every country where the Hereford
is found in both continents. There are two
features concerning this sale that may, with
propricty, be noted at this time. Mr.. Stan
nard, the successor of the late Mr.. Cross,
founder and former owner, does not put his
sale animals into the highest possible cOndi-
tiOn, believing that the greatest degree OF
usefulness ia more surely attained when
only moderately finished. This then neces-
sarily brings TO mind that the buyer is the
more strongly assured of future usefulness
of the individuals that he may chance to
buy on sale day. The sale will open prompt
ly at 10 o'clock a. m. The cattle will be
on Monday, the day preceding the sale,
ready for the inspection of visitors and in
tending buyers The weIl-known auction
GERS, Coils. Wood, Sawyer, Edmunson,
Sparks and Burton will oificiate. Keep in
mind the date, Tuesday, April Is, 1899.

 In Finland a species of stone, known as .semakuir.s actually foretelIs the probable changes in the weather. In dry, fine weather the stone is of d dark gray color mottled with white spots. but before approaching showers of thick mists it blackens all over-most conspieuousIy, of course, at the spaces which were previously white-and gradually returns again to it's former state as the weather improves.

These salts absorb the aerial moisture as it increases in amount, and dissolve in it. forming black surface films, while they regain their white color as the dfier atmos- phere evaperates the moisture from them.
