Addresses a Small Crowd at
Cottonwood Falls.
DRIVES TO AMERICUS.
Talks to a Tent Full Of People
There.
Makes Trip Through NJ I'D and
Holds Revival.

Cottonwood Falls, Sept Ex-Governor
Stanley addressed an audience OF zoO
people in the court house here Monday
afternoon He was preceded by Col A
A. Harris, the ex-Democrat, formerly or
Fort Scott.
The governors speech was generously
appIauded, and among the listeners
were numerous representatives Of the
opposition
Chase county, of which Cottonwood
Falls is the county seat, is very much
agitated in this campaign Men stand
on the street corners and talk politics;
women are taking hand. and in fact,
this is one of the few towns where ev-
erybody is now deeply interested This
is all due to the fact that Thomas Fl.
Grisham of this city is the fusion nozni-
nee for congress in the Fourth district
This is the second recognition Chase
county has ever had. In all the years
of its political history this county has
had candidate on the state tick
ct but once before, and Mr.. Gr1Sham IS
the only man who has been heet-foored
enough to capture a congressional NOM
nation So his recognition by the Dem
ocrats and PopulistS in the district mas
stirred the local pride among the clu-
zens. This condition has precipitated
a lively contest between the Republicans
and the FNusionists in Chase county. The
number of political meetings arranged
by the two parties for this county. is
probably larger than in any other coun-
ty in the state
The Republicans opened the weeks
campaign yesterday with Governor
Stanley's speech at the court house in
this city. Last evening J. NJ Dunsmore,
the PopuliSt old soldier, who
deserted his party year or more ago
for the Socialist party and has now
aligned himself with the Republicans,
spoke at Strong City. the town which
has the main line of the Santa Fe. while
one mile away is Cottonwood Falls with
the court house and county offices.
The campaign in this county is now
thoroughly opened up. The Republican
and Fusion local committees have ar
ranged for numerous meetings and the
iron will be kept hot until election day.
Both sides are confident of success
Four years ago Bryan carried Chase
county by more than 800 votes Two
years thereafter Governor Stanley car
ried the county by SO votes; the Repub-
IicanS got all the county offices except
clerk of the court, and elected a repre-
sentative, but there was no fusion. Last
fall the FusiOnists got all the offices by
majorities ranging from 80 to $780,
Charles Simmons is chairman of the
Democratic committee; Bruce Johnston
is chairman of the Popu1ist committee;
DR. J. NJ Hamme is the Republican
chairman. Each of these gentlemen
talking to a State Journal reporter to-
day expressed absolute confidence in
the result this year.

out for relief. Hundreds have
come to believe that there IS no
cure for the distressing ailments
that sap beauty and life
This Is an error. There Is a
cure for everything. IF one medi-
cine does not relieve, 1t Is the
wrong one. This is simple COM
mon sense.
Most woman1y arrangements
spring from congestion or catarrh-
al irritation of the mucous mem-
brane lining the pelvic organs.
The remedy which reaches, heals
and strengthens this delicate lining,

Such a medicine is Pe-ru-na-
Hundreds of strong, healthy wo-
men can testify to its wonderful
efficiency. It is just as good for
the girl in the teens as it IS for her
mother, and it will prove an excel
lent tonic for both.
Pe-ru-na Is not an experiment.

TWO BIG MEETINGS.
Addressed by Gov. Roosevelt at

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 25.-Prepara-
lions on quite an extensive scale were
made for the reception of Governor
Roosevelt and his party at this place.
The special train arrived at 6:45 last

remarks. In reference to Mr.. Bryan's
remark IN a recent speech about the
menace to the people of a hundred thou
sand troops walking about in idleness.
he said:
.Lawton no longer walks about in
idleness; Liscum and Reilly no longer
walk about in idleness- Was it idle
when Chaffee at the command of the
president marched his troops forward
refusing to wait longer for the other
allied forces who said they could not ad-
vance until they were shamed into adj
vancing by his forward movement? Was
it idleness when the boy Titus sprang

able despotism with the flag that was

The Robbers of the rhameg.

shipping a legitimate object of plum
der. There was no longer any question
of conscience; there was no conscience

religion, not even any superstition?
OF course, the greatest robbers of the

out in light boats which pulled out of

them from the men in the ships. These
men wore leathern aprons, which were
contrived as water-tight bags, which they
could fill with rum or brandy, and they
had huge pockets concealed behind the
aprons, which they crammed with stuff.
On shore every other house was a drinking
shop and fence or a receiving shop The

Imagine, then. the CONSERVATION and
disgust of this honest folk when they
found that the ships were in future going
to receive cargo and unlade, not in the
open river, but in dock, the new wet dock,
capable of receiving all; that the only en-
trance and exit for the workmen was by
a gate, at which stood half dozen stall
wart Warders; that the good old leathern
apron was suspected and handled; that
pockets were regarded with suspicion and
were searched, and that the lockers who
showed bulginess in any portion of their
figure were ANONYMOUSLY set aside and

Thus let It be, yonder, far away, the
hosts of fighters: here at home the hosts
of praying men May this be the holy
battle picture also of our days. May
this peaceful morning hour remind us
may It remind us of the sacred duty or
1ntercession, of the sacred power or IN

moment when ship with the young
men on board weighs anchor. Did you
not see the warriors eyes flash? Did you
not hear their many-voiced hurrahs?
But when the native shores vanish
When one enters the glowing heat of the
Red sea or the heavy waters of the
ocean, how easily brightness and enthus-
iasm grow weary Certainly 1t is a
sublime moment when after a long voy-
age, in the distance the straight lines of
the German forts can be seen and the
black, white and red flags OF the Ger
man colony become visible and comrades
IN arms stand on the shore waiting to
give hearty reception. But the long
marches in a burning sun, the long
nights of bivouac in the raini How cas-
lily gaiety and strength vanish.
Certainly it is a longed-for moment
when at last the drums beat to the
charge and the bugles are blown to- adj
vance, when a command is given, for
ward at the enemy. But then amid the
roar of the guns and the flashing of the
shells comrades fall to the right and left
and hostile batteries still refuse to yield,
how easily the bravest heart then begins
to tremble.''
