IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C.
1t may be q question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say good word
for ChamberlaIn's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family
FOR twenty years and have always found
it reliable In many cases dose of
this remedy would save hours of suffer
ing while physician is awaited. We
do not believe in depending implicitly
on any medicine for cure, but we do
believe that il bottle of Chamberlain
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception IF an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence OF
physician would not be required AT
least this has been our experience dur
ing the past twenty years. For sale

Big Engine is Speedy.

Much interest is being manifested by
railway men. in the performance Of the
new ''1260 series of locomotives, which
have lately been added to the equip
ment Of the Rock Island road. These
locomotives, it will be remembered, are
the largest as well as the fastest and
most powerful passenger locomotives
running out of Chicago, and at the time
Of their installation in the Rock Island
service some few months ago, attracted
wide spread notice. The daily service
which these locomotives have given,
has been excellent and never yet have
they coupled on to a train of passenger
coaches which they could not pull. The
first severe test to be given TO the 1890
series was made on locomotive No.
1901. a few days ago. The occasion was
the first of the Rock Island independent
excursions to he run between Colorado
common points and Chicago. So heavy
was the travel, that it necesstated four
teen large and heavy coaches and Pull
man sleepers to haul the excursionists.
Ordinarily this many cars would be
made into two trains, and would then
be good load for the average passenger
locomotive, and especially so, consider
ing the speed required. Here was Il
chance to test the new locomotives.
The No. 1901 was coupled on to the four
teen cars and moved ont of the Chicago
depot with ease. Between Chicago and
Rock Island, it sped along on scheduled
time and at two or three points, de-
velopeL q speed of over II miles an
hour. The big locomotive did all that
was required of it and more, and proved
itself able to take care of itself il any
emergency From the good record
made b. the No. 1901, it has been de-
cided by the management of the Rock
Island to use the 1900 series" of loco
motives in hauling all the Colorado
excursion trains. These special trains
will leave Pueblo at 2:45 p. M, and
Denver at 3:45 p. IN, on July 20, and
August The run from Colorado to
Chicago is made with only one night on
the road, by the Rock Island Daylight
Specials.

Federal Irrigation Coming.

Looking over the field at the close Of
the century. ,t is seen that the United
States stands practically alone among
irrigation countries in having left all
the work Of reclamation to the unaided
efforts of private capital, and in the
prodigality of tllessurrender of public
control of streams. In one respect the
policy pursued'ias been successful. II

wealth of many times the amount in

the limit of III sort of growth. There
will be few / b private investments in
canals hereafte, until we have better
and more libe. j irrigation laws En-
trance on the coming ttA.ury is con-

Dear Mr.. Greer-I had thought to the

in such a condition that 1 knew I really
ought not to make the trip. To take my
place endeavored to engage Mr. Cubbi-

to do any campaign work at this time

The demands my time have been
so very great during this awful hot
weather that I am almost down. hope
on my part at not being able to fill my
engagement. OF one thousand meetings
that I have made in the last ten years,
this is the third time that have been
unable to meet my engagements on ac-
count of sickness.
1 know you will nominate Flynn tomor-
row on a good ticket and 1 believe you
will elect it triumphantly.
L appreciate the personal interest you
have taken in my candidacy in Kansas,
and I had looked forward to the pleasure
of a visit to you and the many friends
1 have down that way, and believe me 1t
has been a keen disappointment that 1
was forced to give up the trip.
1 hope to be in the Territory at least
once before the campaign is over. re-
main, Faithfully yours,

served TO sustain the market at first. Liv-

in large degree the recent damage re-

RAIN AGAIN PREDICTED.
Will Come Tonight According to
Weather Bureau.

The United States weather bureau
now sends out the same forecast that
Cider Smith made several days ago,
that there will be rain today.
Mr.. Smith announced several days ago
that there would be rain on the 18th or
18th and his prophecy is now backed up
by the official forecaster as follows:
Fair except showers east portion"
There was something said by the fore
caster Thursday about rain in western
Kansas and now the reports comes in
that there was actually rain in Decatur
county during the "a hours preceding
August 10 at a. m. But there were no
washoutS and the corn crop will not suf-
fer from too much water. The recording
station at Dresden in that county regis
tered precipitation of four hundredths of
an inch, the only rain fall recorded in
the state for that time.
If anybody thinks that Observer Jen-
ningS does not have troubles he is mis-
taken for he is now carrying a hickory
cane that weighs nine pounds and three
ounces to protect himself from those
who hold him up for explanations.
The maximum temperature Friday
was go and the maximum today up to
IL o'clock was 81 and the minimum r.
q rather high minimum. The wind was
southwest blowing 10 miles an hour.

Grain Letter.


WHEAT-The government figures were
very bullish wheat, but from all ap-
pearanceS has been thoroughly discounted.
Liverpool cables were also a damper to
higher prices, coming about ssd lower.
Receipts were liberal everywhere, Kansas
City getting nearly 500 cars. Chicago go
and the northwest PSI. Heavy receipts
are expected for Monday and Tuesday and
the trade is not inclined to buy in face Of
these conditions. 1t has been very dull
day, taking into consideration that il is
the first day that the government figures
could effect markets. and unless specula-
ton increases shortly we expect to see
traders are buying wheat breaks to
hold for a long pull. They figure that
there can not be any material decline
from present prices and that wheat will
be selling very much higher before an
other crop is assured
CORN-CableS came lower In face OF
advance of yesterday and hot, dry
weather everywhere. Considerable dam
age is being done and it must be -remem-
bered that corn will not recover from the
effects of crop damage this time of the
year. Investment traders are buying lib
orally. If rain should come soon corn
might drop cent or temporarily, but
should be bought soft spots. The cash
situation is strong and conditions warrant
a good advance. There is a minimum
risk in buying for investment while there
is surely a maximum risk in selling short.
OATS-Oats were very dull, less than
half a dozen trades all day.
PROVISIONS-PriceS at the yards were
sc lower for hogs Speculative markets
were dull and lower. The whole list,
cepting corn, has lapsed into extreme dull
ness. Increased speculation will advance
prices. J. c. GOINGS.
