Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of Ill years,
having been born in 1888. He is an ardent
friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the
following terms:
During my long life [ have known
great many remedies for coughs, colds, ca
tarrh and diarrhoea. had always supposed
these affections to be different diseases, but
I have learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and are
properly called catarrh.

Mrs. OIberg, a Prominent Minnesota
Lady, Tells q Remarkable
Story.

Albert Lea, Mimi, Dec. 3, 1900 (Spe-
cia).-There are few men and women
in this, state or indeed in the whole
| northwest, who have not heard, or do
not know personally Mrs. Henriette G.
Olberg of this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge Of Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair, at
Chicago, and Superintendent of Flax
Exhibit at the International EXPOSE
ton at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. Mrs.
Olberg is Secretary of the National
Flax, Hemp and Ramie Association,
and Assistant Editor of the ''Distaff."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous, and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
my official duties SO taxed my strength,
that I thought I would have to give
them up. Through the continual
change Of food and irregular meal
hours, and a poor quality of water,
lost my appetite, and became wakeful
and nervous in the extreme. My Kid
neys refused to perform their usual
duties. One of my assistants advised
me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and sent
for box. I am pleased to say that I
derived immediate and permanent
benefit. I used three boxes, and feel
ten years younger.

cacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and am al
ways glad to speak good word in their
favor.

GREAT STOCK OF GOLD.
Accumulation in the United States
Treasury and Branches
Is $474,1OS, 1896.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The largest
stock of gold coin aud bullion ever
held in the United States is now ac-
cumulated in the treasury and it's
branches. The total has been rising
steadily during the whole of the pres
ent year, and is now $474, los, 1856, or
about $76, 100000 greater than at the
close of 1899. This gold is not all the
direct property of the United States,
but is held against outstanding gold
certificates. The amount of these, less
the amount in the treasury and it's
branches, was $780, 55, 800 Wednesday,
All the remaining gold. amounting to
about $243 ,0O0,O 600 belongs to the
treasury as a part Of the reserve fund
of $3.50, 900, 600. The influx of gold into
the treasury comes partly from the
new gold from the Klondike and 9TH
er mines, but it's retention is due to
the pressure for currency, which leads
to the acceptance of gold certificates
and other paper money in preference
to coin.
The gold supply of the country on
the last day Of 1896 was estimated at
$692, 947,212. The estimated amount
November 1, 1900, was $1,OSO,O27, 4O7,
and it is probable that the report for
December 1 will show at least eleven
hundred millions of dollars. The
treasury officials are confident that the
round sum of $475,OOO,O in treasury
gold holdings will soon be attained,
and that even $500, 1000, 900 is not be-

Congressional Convention.

Next Monday the Congressional
convention of this district will be
held at Chanute. There is no lack
of good material from which to Sc
lect candidate, and this paper will
be found all through the campaign
earnestly advocating the election of
the man nominated for the place at
the coming convention.
Our personal preferences are for
Geo. w. Wheatley, of Galena, be-
cause we believe him to be the most
available man for the place. Mr..
Wheatley is an old Neosho county
boy and we would feel friendly to-
ward him on that account, but when
we consider the character of the
man, and his ability for the place,
and the further fact that he has
shown himself to be very popular
in his home locality, we feel that il
is a wise policy that dictates his
nomination. And we believe the
sentiment is strong all over the dis
trict that he is the proper man fol
the place.
We predict his nomination on the
second ballot.

We presume the rantankerous
Pop and oleaginous Democrat will
Shut their eyes, like the boy taking
the dose of caster oil, and gulp the
nauseating dose down. How plain
ly such things show the want of
principle in the Democratic and
Populist parties of the state when
they can subordinate every princi-
pie they have advocated to greedy
scramble for office.
If the rank and file of the two
parties allow themselves and their
boasted devotion to principle to be
bartered off in this manner by the
political hacks of the state, that a
few schemers may again get to the
public crib, it only shows how hol-
low is their boasted adherence to
principle and how deceptive their
claims to political honesty.
1t is supposed that a Republican
is a Republican because he con-
scientiously believes in the great
principles of the Republican party.
This party has always been party
of principles and always battles for
the support of those principles,
whether in the majority or minority
and when in power has always
managed the government on the
lines of its avowed policy.
Formerly the Democratic party
adhered to set of principles an
tagonistic to those adopted by the
Republicans and stood up man.
fully and fought for what they hon
estly believed to be for the best in
terests of the people. Then arose
this immaculate party of reform
that claimed both old parties were
corrupt and that they would estab-
lish party on the lines of purity
that would draw to it the wisdom
and honesty and brains of the two
old parties and would soon be run
ming the government in the inter
ests of the people. Their promises
seemed fair and many honest men
with an imagined grievance or dis
appointed ambition joined the new
party and it waxed strong and null
tiplied.
But soon political demagogues
and Office seeking politicians began
to dominate it and its vaunted prin-
ciples were bartered for public
place. The once great Democrat
ic party, the party of expansion un-
der Jefferson and sound money un-
der Jackson, while still lauding
these great patron saints, through a
few political fxers at Topeka, would
surrender its traditional memories
and stain its former glories by an
alliance with party whose theories
it detests, simply that a few un-
scrupulous conscienceless schemers
may get an Office.
We do not know just how well
these schemers may be able to hood
wink the honest voter, but we think
there are thousands of Democrats
in the state of Kansas that are not
going to allow few schemers to
barter their honest convictions on
the money question for lucrative
office for themselves. We likewise
believe there are thousands of men
in the Populist party who believe in
the expansion and development of
this country and in upholding our
country's flag wherever it may have
been placed by our soldiery and
consecrated by their blood, who
will not vote with the party that
would pull it down. We have faith
in the honesty and patriotism of the
great mass of the people of Kansas.

GREAT ADVANTAGES.


The Denver Post recently published
a lengthy Interview on newspaper mat
tiers, with the veteran printer and pub
Usher, George p. Rowell Of New York
In the course OF the conversation. after
dwelling at length on the growth Of the
newspaper world during the last quar-
ter OF century, Mr.. Rowell touched
upon the relative merits OF morning and
afternoon papers. He said;
To-day, the evening paper Is the
paper, because the evening paper pub-
fishes today's news today whereas the
morning paper publishes yesterdays
news today"
To illustrate this he referred TO the
war In South Africa, and argued that
mo citizen Of Denver ever reads in the
morning" on that subject. anything
that he did not read the night before"
in the evening paper. He said, further,
that Denver, being two hours behind
New York and five hours behind Lon
don" was particularly favored for
evening news, and,
