It used to be considered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that Is their work.
 Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is effected, and how every organ seems to fail to do it's duty. If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are we'll they will help all the other organs to health A trial will convince anyone.
 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for many kinds of diseases and if permitted to continue much suffering with FATAL RESULTS ARE SURE TO FOLLOW. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleep less and irritable Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Un- healthy kidneys cause rheumatism ! gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and mus cles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow complexion makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away.
 The cure for these troubles Is pr. | Kilmer's Swamp Root the world-famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root l you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root Is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is known to medical science.
 If there Is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place 1t in a glass or bottle and let 1t stand twenty four hours. If on examination it Is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust settling, or if small particles float about in 1t, your kidneys are in need of im- mediate attention.
 Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and Is used in the leading hospitals, recom- rnended by physicians in their private practice, and is taken by doctors them selves who have kidney ailments, because they recognize in 1t the greatest and most successful remedy for kidney liver and bladder troubles.

He had lived in this county all his life, and in the residence where he died for fifty years. He was at one time the largest man in the county, weighing $50 pounds, and would have weighed some thing like 300 when he died. It required the largest casket made to hold his body. He was buried today at the family bury ing ground near his late residence.

OF ANCIENT ORIGIN
Decorating the Graves of Soldiers Was
Pracficed Ages Ago.

n "A HE custom of placing flowers on the
q graves of soldiers is of very great an
fiquity. One ancient writer men,
lions the fact that on the birthday of Alex
ander the Great certain Greeks in Alexan-
leum and place flowers on the threshold.
The custom of planting flowers on graves
is of an antiquity almost great, and has
been practiced in all parts of Europe for
many centuries. The practice being once
established, local application of it in par
ticular cases was easy and natural. During
the civil war in this country the women
of both north and south instituted a GUS
tom of going regularly on certain day,
generally about the LIST Of May, to the Gem
eteries with bouquets for the graves of the
soldiers who had been killed In battle The
intense devotion of the southern women
to the lost cause led them to continue this
practice after the war had been ended
md little by little it became universal in
:his country. In 1869 Gen. John A. Logan,
nf the Republic, announced May 80 as the
lay on which the graves of soldiers should
be decorated. There Is, however, a con
.-oversy about the fact of the custom origi
ating in particular locality, some claiming
Lnat it sprang up spontaneously in almost
every section of the country at once, and
considering the universally of the prac
tice of planting flowers on graves, there
is no reason to believe that the custom
as claimed by some, originated in or was
peculiar to the south, even during the esrly
DAYS OF the war.

What's The Matter With Bill2

Will White, of the Emporia Republi-
can, who wrote "Whats the Matter
With Kansas" and numerous republi.
can campaign articles, has set the 6. O..
p's. 10 asking: whats the matter
with Bill White2" Following is what
he says, in recent editorial, of Nc
Kinley:
mckinley never had an idea in his
head. He is essentially not thinker.
He is in no sense a sch olar. He has
not kept anywhere abreast of the econ.
omic thought of his time. Until the
campaign of go he was insure about
finance. He has uttered no sentiment
in all his four years Of official speaking
ing and writing that has lived 80 min.
utes fter it was put on paper. Twenty
men In Marion county can make as
good a speech as Nc Kinley and the edi-
tor of the Record can make better
speech than Mckinley ever dreamed
of. No man who doesn't read can
have much to say. You can't draw
water from an empty cistern.'

haven of rest as could be made
of the Morrison house Let us
go after it in the proper manner
1t is we'll worth the effort.

EVERY element of growth and
enterprise In Great Bend, or in
any other towns of this county,
adds value to the farm property
surrounding or tributary there
to. There should not, at any
time, be a rivalry between the
town and country people. What
benefits the people OF one benefits
the other locality. The towns
grow and improve in proportion
to the productiveness and pros
perity of the farms, and there
should be maintained a more
cordial feeling among all our
people. The town man delights
to go into the country and see
handsome, commodious farm
houses, barns etc., and the far
lner also delights to see neat res
licences and prosperous business
houses when he comes to town.
Let us have a more cordial unit
ing of interests. Let us all pull
together for a grand 18th of July
celebration; for a successful
county fair; for more equitable
freight rates and car facilities;
for better roads and streets; for
more trees and orchards; for
cleaner premises both in and out
of the towns, and for anything
and everything that viii be for
the general benefit Of all. The
newspaper men of this county
are "short'' on cash for invest
ment in public enterprises, but
they are along" on faith in the
country, on push and ability,
They can do much to spread over
the world the knowledge that
there is no more pleasant place
to live than in Barton county:
but what is more important,
they can be a power in bringing
about a unity OF action on the
part of our people that will
maintain the above record:
In THE three years we have
been in the newspaper business
we have not had but one occa
sion to complain Of the lack o.
courtesy OF our exchanges. The
newspaper boys have been uni
formly courteous to us, and we
have endeavOred to be the same
to them, though many Jokes have
been passed by all. Last week,
Mister Cooke of the EllinwooC
Leader, forgot to be a gentleman
and referred to us as ii we didn'1
ihave but one name. We are

THERE are but few cases in
which the two great parties do
not occupy contradictory posi-
tions about the objects to be &C
complished. In those cases the
Democrat is always for the less
authority, the stricter construc-
ton of the law, the greater lib
erty of the individual, for influ-
ence and time as against force.
1t is a method of thought, a phil
osophy of life, which distinguishes
a Democrat from all other. A
Democrat believes in himself and
will not call on the government
until his individual power is ex-
hausted. A paternalist goes to
the government at once. There
you have it.-Milwaukee Jour-

THERE is a warning thought in
the following note from the Mod
ern Mother Goose. "When all
the trusts form one big trust,
what a great trust that will be;
and when that trust goes on a
bust, what a great calamity"
And, seriously speaking, what
can be the result of the mad era
of speculation, of combinations
of capital, and of watered stock?
Are we not going the pace that
kills? Will not the reaction come
soon unless we steady down in
the race we are running? Nearly
s 1000, 900 shares of stock were
sold Tuesday in the New York
market. All these shares will
hardly make money for their new
owners. The crash will come.
