Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine IN the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean ont the system and stop fer
mentstion of undiRested food, regu-
late the action OF the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form. to make you
satisfied there Is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by Geo
James & Go.

BRYAN's REPLY.
Answers Assistant Secretary Meik-
Iejohn's Open Letter.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Oct. 1O.-WI-
liam Jennings Bryan today took cog
nizsnce OF the letter sent to him by
assistant secrstsry of war Msikleiohn,
which was given out yesterday, and
prepared q reply to If. The reply
says:
Il am in receipt of your favor of
the 9th instant, IN regard to the Sulu
treaty. It is true that the president
two months after the signing of the
treaty sent to General Otis the in
structions, which you quote. You
will note that the treaty or agreement,
as the president describes it, was con-
frmed and approved subject to the
action of congress, and the only ex.
ception he made was that In regard to
article 10, relating to slavery. You
can but know, however, that since
the president sent those instructions,
the republican party, with the sp-
proval of the administration, has
adopted the theory that the consti-
tuition does not follow the flag, and
and therefore the thirteenth amendent
does not prohibit slavery in the Sulu
archipelago.
"The Porto .Rioan law asserts the
doctrine that the people of Porto Rico
are beyond the protection of the con-
stitution and can be governed by the
arbitrary and unrestrsined power of
the president and congress. If the
constitution itself can not reach the
West Indies, how can the thirteenth
amendment find it's way across the
Pacific into Asia7 The president does
Dot repudiste article ID, which reads
as follows:
"'The United States will give pro-
lection to the Sultan and his subjects
if any foreign nation should attempt
to impose upon Them
"In view of the fact that the presi-
dent IN his letter of acceptance declares
1t is dangerous for us to agree to pro-
teet a christisn republic IN the Philip
pine Islands, would it not be wise for
him to withdraw the agreement to
protect Mohsmmedan island? The
agreement does not repudiate article
IA, which reads rs follows:
"'The United States will not sell
the island of Sulu or any other island
of the Snlu archipelago to any for
eign nation without the consent of the
sultan of Sulu.'
"If we buy the Philippine islands
from Spain without the consent Of
the inhabitants, is it fair that we
should agree not to sell any of the
Sulu islands without the consent of
the sultsn4 In other words, Is it
more important that sultan's wishes

LELAND THE MAN.
The Capital Says file Started the
Suit Against Grimes.
From the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital.
Oy Leland is the party who hired
T. f. Doran to institute the suit
against State Treas'r Frank Grimes.
The erstwhile boss of Doniphan.
unable to any longer rule in the coun-
ellis of Kanass republicans, has de-
termlned to ruin the party.
There is irrefutsbIe proof that Lee
land not only inspired the Grimes
suit bat instigated it and we'll nigh
forced 1t upon an unwilling political
opponent.
This latest outbreak is another
chapter in the book of lessons which
Mr.. Leland proposes to teach the re-
publican party for his defeat. Other
chapters are said to be in preparation
and are likely to follow soon.
Last week, according to a prom.
iuent republican who Is closely allied
to Leland but who does not approve
Of the Grimes suit or the cut throat
methods Of the Donlphan politician,
Mr.. Leland advised certain democrats
that he was in position to give them
something good, something that
would cause a sensation.
A conference was the result and
the Grimes suit plan was placed in
their hands
Before it could be sprung, however,
leading republican of Topeka heard
of the proposed salt and took steps
to stop it. Being close to certain
leading democrats, he exscted prom
Use from them to have the case held
up until his return from a contemp-
lated trip Leland, so the story goes
became aware of the interest taken by
this republican, and went to his friend
Tom Doran and pushed the case into
court, regardless of the promise made
by the democrats.
Leland is quoted as having said
that he did not care what became of
the suit after it was fled. What he
wanted was to have abe sensation
sprung on the eve of the election for
the purpose of beating Burton ana
those who are in training with him
A Topeka man who saw Leland yes
terdsy suggested to HIM that the fight
on Burton and Grimes was in effect
fight on the entire republican ticket,
and what ever injury might be done
them would extend all along the line.
To this Leland replied that he was
not running the campaign and that 1t
was a matter of Indifference to him
what the result of the fight might
be on the ticket.
Mr.. LELAND announced several
months ago that he would ''fx' Bur-
ton, Grimes and Dave Mulvane. He
began an open fight on Burton three
weeks ago; republicans haven't the
slightest doubt that be instigsted the
fight on Grimes, and 1t is supposed
ne will next engage Mulvsne
Some of the leading republicans
are trying to shield Mr.. Lsland in tn
matter of the Grimes prosecution.
They tell the reporters that the demo
Gratis are at the bottom of 1t; but when
they talk mot for publication" they
they say LELAND did it.
When Mr.. Leland got ready to
spring his Burton interview he showed
1t to several gentlemen at republican
headquarters, and they all urged him
not to print it, giving 1t as their rea-
son that it would hurt the republican
ticket. Leland turned a deaf ear to
their plea. declaring that he would
skin Burton without regard to conse-
quences.

northern people calling II the rebellion,
Strange II is that neither name is cor

that there was no rebellion. States that
had sovereignty could not be guilty OF
rebellion. Neither was II war be-
tween the states, but actually a war
between two governments made up OF
states. Some writer's call II a civil war,
yet II was not war between citizens
in their civil capacity, but, as before

Sweet as the sigh of summer in the south,
Athirst for autumn and the purple vine.

Bryan's Defense of Free Trade.

When Bryan gets an idea on the
brain there is no stopping him. Start
ing out as r rank free trader, in 1894,
when told his policy would destroy the
American rate of wages, he replied by
Haunting over the head of his printed
speech the proverb:
Better is little with righteousness
than great revenues without right"
Surely workingmen must think of the
devil quoting Scripture when told they
must come down in their wages and ac-
cept poverty in the name of right.
