There are doctors In this town that

discovery of a new one, none other
than George Bedell. The way he
came to show his hand is like this.
Ira Kelley has been confined to his
home for six weeks or go with sew
ere attack, of rheumatism which kept
him abed, swelled his muscles, twist
ed his limbs aud prevented his sleep
ing. He was suffering all the torments
ana his recovery has been very slow.
sunday mourning he was occupying
his usual place in bed when George
Bedell, a lodge brother called on him
and asked him why he didn't get up.
Kelley said "Rsrkis Ia willing" but
he couldn't do 1t Then Bedell said
that II Ira really wanted to get upihe
woIld have him out OF the house in
two days. Tuesday Ira Kelley
was shaking hands with friends on
the street, the first time 10 weeks.
Bedell remarked several times dur
ing the past month that he was going
to call on Kelley and cure him, and
he did. After his call Sunday he
came up town had two prescriptions
filed, one a liniment and the other an
internal remedy aud Kelley took the
treatment The prescriptions are
favorlte ones with famous Kansas
City doctor and Bedell got them from
a friend as he is subject to rheuma-
tlsm.
Kelley says that if any harm comes
to Bedell for leaving his dry goods
business long enough to get him out
of bed he will bear the expense and
trouble including the occupation tax.

Ard Wins His Case.

One of the most interesting ca ses
from a legal standpoint in the history
of Allen county was ended Saturday
when the supreme Court hand I'D
down deeition in favor of the
plaintiff in the case of n. l.. Ard VS..
G. II. Pratt.
The case originated about four
years ago when Mr.. Pratt sought to
attach so acres of Ian 1 owned by Ard
to satisfy judgment which he held.
Ard claimed that this 90, together
with another 80 upon which his house
was built aud contiguous to it, was
his homestead and was therefore
exempt from execution. The real
question at issue was whether a man
owning more than 100 acres had Il
right to select the particular l60 that
should constitute his homestead.
Judge Stillwsll held against Mr..
Ards contentious, and the Appellate
Court sustained that decision. The
supreme Court took the opposite
view of it, however, and Mr.. Ard
contention is therefore sustained. His
attorneys, Ewing IL Savage, naturally
regard the decision with considerable
satisfaction as the law point involved
was comparatively a new one and
their judgment of it proved to be
superior to that Of both the District
and the Appellate Court. 1t Is so
seldom that a lawyer in this district
reverses Judge Stillwell that when
it does occur the day is marked with
red letter.
With this decision the title of Mr.
Ards homestead, which has been in
litigation for more than twenty years,
is probably finally settled, and he
certainly deserves to be congratu.
lated. He settled on his "claim" in
1866, when there was no doubt of his
right to enter it as a homestead; but
through some error in the land Office
his papers were not properly record
ed and the land was patented by the
Government to the railroad COM
pany, and afterwards sold to private
parties. 1t took many years and the
Supreme Court of the United States
to settle the complication thus
created. But 1t was settled finally,
and in Ards favor the only one of
the so-called "League" cases, by the
way, which was ever decided in favor
OF the settler. The settlement of this
last case in his favor leaves him for
the first time really in more than 80
years in the quiet and undisputed
possession of his home. And he has
right to rejoice and be glad.

and profusely illustrated with
pictures, both of lola and some of her
factories and also of the committee
which has charge of arrangements.
A column is devoted'to q write up of
lola and the surrounding country,
which Is very handsomely compli-

one OF the finest published and every
page is full of Pythian news which
must make it very desirable ad-

Theory Versus Practice.

The Lawrence Journal, which is
ably edited by that great agricul-
tural.horticulturRl expert who won
medals in his youth by his talented
treatment of pumpkin pies, yellow
legs and roasting ears, walks over
the editor of the Emporia Gazette in
this wise:
William Allen White writes very
entertainingly about the sunflower,
andsadvises Kansas farmers to culti-
vate it because its beauty. If VIII
liam Allen will carelessly wander
out to some farmers field where the
sunflower is growing in its beauty TO
the height of fifteen or twenty feet,
where the plants are 80 thick that a
rabbit cannot make path between
them, and where the farmer is sweat =
ing, and mayhap swearing little at
the fertility Of soil that can produce
things like that, while he vainly tries
to force way through the forest; if,
we say, William desires to go out to
the field and make that suggestion to
the farmer, let him fret renew his
life insurance policies, get his will in
proper form, bid his wife and friends
farewell, close up his business affairs,
and go forth to meet his fate as be-
comes martyr to the cause of tho

Mr.. A. l.. Harmon, of the Horticul-

now threaten the apple crop can be
utterly destroyed by the use of a

half pound London Purple, one-half
pound concentrated lye, so gallons OF
water.
The Horticultural Society has a
sprayer which is now in charge of
Mr.. l.. ID. Buck. No one ought to
permit his fruit crop TO be destroyed
when 1t can be saved by so simple,
cheap and easy a remedy.
