A Speedy Census.
From Life.

The census man was remarkably prompt
with his figures this year. He told us the
population of our greater cities within two
months from the time his work began, and
in four months he was ready with accu-
rate Information about the total popula-
ton of the country and many other i'm
portant statistics. 1t seems possible to put
the taking of the census by General Mer-
RAM into the list of things that Major Nc
Kinley's administration has done well.

Porters Shot Craps.

The three colored youths who act
as porters for Iola's three leading
hotels were all arrested Wednesday
at the Missouri Pacific depot for shoot
ing craps. The arrest was made by
Sanitary Policeman Canatsey, not on
sanitary but on moral grounds.
The game started about a week ago
and at first was piled with the
greatest caution, the "boues" being
frequently snatched from the platform
when a shooter became alarmed. AS
time passedsand the boys escaped
they "passed" more boldly and yes
terday noon had good fast game
rolling. One of them remarked when
the game closed: "If come out as
well at the Poetic depot I'll buy me
something" He did. He bought a
receipt from the police judge.

Successful Pneumonia Cure

The editor of the A bilene Reflector
YOU ches from personal knowledge
that Boston physician made him
self famous by curing every case OF
pneumonia which he took with the
following formula:
Take six to ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put i'm large
spider over hot fire; then add about
the came quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make it thick
paste. In the meanwhile stir it
thoroughly letting it simmer five or
ten minutes. Then put in cotton
bag large enough to cover the lungs
and apply it to the chest as hot as the
patient can bear. When it gets cool
apply another and thus continue by
relocating the poultice. In a few
hours the patient will be out of dan
ger. This simple remedy has never
failed in this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue Away S
until perspiration starts freely from
the chest.

working for us, keeping the house in

also stayed behind to look after things

another town three miles distant

canght him and very promptly killed
him because he was working for the
Americans. We were all very much
worked up about it because he was "
