1t Is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival Of the doctor. An AL
bany, NY, dairyman called at a drug
store there for doctor TO come and
see his child, then very sick with the
croup. Not finding the doctor in he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought bottle
of Chamberlain Cough Bemedy,
which he hoped would give some re.
lief until the doctor should arrive. In
a few hours he returned saying the
doctor need not come, As the child waa
much better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto
Scholz, says the family has since re-
commended ChAmberlAin's Cough Rem
edy 20 their neighbors and friends un-
ell he has q conRtAnt demand for II

Mrs. Digs has offered two prizes, one
to the city ehild and the other to the
country child who shall send in before

Mrs. J. G. Wood discussed Public
Opinion the Highest Law in America -
in practical manner and closed with
word OF advice to the young women
present, the substance of which was
Have your own opinion and do not be
afraid to express it" She suggested
that at the next meeting, public opinion
in its connection with the public schools
be discussed.
Two more new members were taken
into the association, Mrs. r. F. Rice of
Lawrence and Mrs. w. A. Johnston of
Topeka. Mrs. NJ E Heating of Osa-
watomie, one of the members, who was
unable to be present, sent a beautiful
bouquet of roses.
One of the annual events anticipated
with great deal of pleasure is the
banquet which closes the meeting, and
has for several years been held at the
Copeland hotel. The banquet Thursday
evening was ore of the most pleasant
ever given; it was served in the Ordi-
nary of the hotel The atmosphere was
sweet with the fragrance of the roses
which decked the table. The banquet
was served in several courses.
Mrs. Royce presided as toast mistress,
in her usual graceful manner. She
stated with regret that two of the ladies
on the programme, Mrs. Mary Vance
Humphrey Of Junction City and Mrs.
Charlotte F. Wilder of Manhattan were
both unable to be present, but Mrs.
Mrs. Humphreys daughter, Miss Adelia
Alice Humphrey, acted as substitute
for both ladies.
Our Loves was the subject of the
clever little response written by Mrs.
Wilder. 1t was cunningly woven about
Disraeli's inverted sentence, I'VE pre-
fer society to solitude; books to pounds;
we love manuscripts better than FORMS
and we prefer small pamphlets to war
horses" Paul tells US that it was not
lawful for him to utter what he saw
when he was caught up into the third
heaven but Mrs. Wilder thinks it pe s.
sible that he may have had q vision
of a meeting like the one of Thursday
evening, in this open door of the Twen-
tieth century,
Mrs. Ella B. Newell of Atchison, re
sponded to the subject Don't Worry
with a pretty allegorica1 sketch, and at
the close presented each one present

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Leaders in New York Friendly to the
Admirals Candidacy.

New York. April 6.-Gold Democratic
leaders of this city discussing Admiral
Dewey's candidacy for the presidency,
nre generally friendly to him. Abraham
s. Hewitt says:
1T seems to me doubtful whether the
Bryanites can be now dislOdged. On n
good platform Dewey would certainly
get my vote
What am concerned about" said
Nv. Bourke Cochran. lis the platform
Admiral Dewey may run on. To my
mind, that's the whole question at pres
emit He would make a good president
IF he stands for the right thing and has
the backing of a good platform With
a sound platform I should not only re
willing to see Dewey the Democratic
nominee would support him enthusi-
astically"
Then you prefer him to Mr.. Bryan"
Il don't make any issue between the
two men, personally. AS I have just
said, / think the platform is the main
thing, with the nominee standing
suuarely upon it."
Edward NJ Sheppard believed that If
Admiral Dewey stood firmly against the
colonial policy of the present adruinis-
tration his candidacy would be both &C
ceptable and successful.
Gen. Daniel e. Sickels says that Ad-

probation of the honor shown her. The
other officers We're all reelected they
are: Mrs. Minnie D. Morgan, of Cot
tonwood Falls, vice president; Miss
Ida G. F'rowe, of Ottawa, secretary;
Mrs. Mary L Rupp, of Clyde, treasur-
er. The association rendered the retir-
ing president a vote of appreciation.
The programme was opened by an in
teresting paper on the COLLECTION of
History" written by Mr.. George w.
Martin OF the state historical society,
and read by Miss Zu Adams. It could
not fail to arouse in the minds of those
who heard it, a greater interest in the
preservation of Kansas history, and i
realization of what is being done today
by the historical society.
At the close of the paper, Mrs. Rupp
wife of the editor of the Clyde Herald,
was asked to give some personal remin-
Cloud county. In spite of the fact that
Mrs. Rupp had never made a speech in
her life she succeeded in thoroughly in
teresting her auditors. For the past Il
years she has filed nearly every place
on her husbands paper, from devil
up.
There were two discussions on the pro
gramme for the afternoon, How Can
Press Women Help Fulfill Victor
Hugo's Prophecy? The Twentieth
Century VIII be Woman's Century,
Which Shall See the End of WARP"
The other, Public Opinion, the High
est Law in America" The discussion
of the two papers was merged into one
and was very informal. While the ideas
expressed varied a great deal, it was
admitted that there is some time need
of warfare, but it was agreed women
should spend their energies in bringing

mala Conjugis,' - which translated in it's
simplest form is, the failure or sue
cess of matrimony." She treated the
subject humorously, and while talking
on both sides of the subject, she inva-
riably came back to her original point,
in which she said that marriage was
not a failure.
Mrs. Diggs closed the programme
with a response to the toast Copeland
County"
Those seated at the table were: Mrs.
Olive l. Royce, of the Phillipsburg Dis
patch; Mrs. Minnie ID. Morgan, of Cot
