FOR A SOLDIERS HOME.

Washington, D. C, June 5-A measure
which has been passed in the senate and
which will receive attention in the house
next session, has for its object the estab-
lishment of a. national soldiers home at
Denver, Col. In connection with the
measure. which was reported to the com
the calendar, a report was made setting
forth the advantages of establishing such
an institution at Denver.
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana ana
New Mexico have about 10000 soldiers in
the borders. who would naturally be con-
tributary to a soldiers home located at
Denver. The cost of sending soldiers from
Colorado and the surrounding states to
the eastern or western national homes is
quite an item, which would be saved by
the establishment of a branch home at

to take the afternoon train home.
About twenty Topeka boys went
down to see the game.

II. & s. DEPOT FINISHED.
It May Become Union Station For
Missouri PACIFIC and Frisco.

Hutchinson, June 5.-Workmen are
now busy on the new Missouri Pacific
depot and from present appearances it
Will soon be ready to occupy. The win
dow castings are of oak and the interior
will present an elegant appearance.
The outside windows have been put
in and the building begins to look very
much like its deserted condition was a
thing of the past. A little work on the
track will put it in shape to use, and
before many weeks the Missouri Pa
cific passenger trains win be running
into town.
There has been a great deal of spec
ulation regarding what will be done
with the spacious rooms on the second
floor and rumor insists that they are
tc be occupied by the Hutchinson
Kansas Salt company. One theory is
that the building will be used as a
union depot for the Missouri Pacific

mend Chamberlain s Cough Remedy

the remedy and after giving it fair
trial if she did not find j.
worth the money to bring
back the bottle and | would refund
the price paid. In the course of a
day or two the lady came back in
company with a friend in need of a
cough medicine and advised her to
buy a bottle of Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy. consider that very good
recommendation for the remedy. ~
The remedy owes its great popularity

ARMY INTERFERENCE
SOae Facts Tor Democratic spell.
BindeFs to Peruse and
Ponder.

While all this speechmaking IS goin g
on about the army and the danger of
"militarism." it would be well TO bear
In mind the facts given below:
The army has never interfered but
twice in labor troubles. and then after
state resources were exhausted.
The first occasion WAS In the Debs
trouble In Chicago in 1894.
The city government was powerles<
to stop the rioting. and John p. Alt
ge.d, then governor. would not let the
state militia be used.
Grover Cleveland, democrat. sent
troops to Chicago, and the rioting was
ended.
In the Occur d'Alene district In Idaho
mining troubles precipitated the rule
of the mob.
The county authorities were help
less. Frank Steunenberg, twice elect
ed as governor by the democratic-pop-
ulist fusion element, called on the fed
eral government for aid.
1t was granted.
In neither case was there any In
reference by the national troops, who
are in reality the national police, until
the power of the iDcnf authority wa.
