Hundreds of Dollars

some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but

of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, butuntil the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.

Record-BrenlSin Potato Crop.

The harvest of the Kaw valley po-
tato crop is nearing completion. 1t
has been customary for the potato
growers of the valley to keep for
seed all potatoes dug after October
1, because they are usually not large
enough for table use,. but the grow
ing season has been longer this year
and practically all of the potatoes
harvested are marketable. The yield
on some fields is $50 bushels to the
acre. 1t is estimated that 5000 car
loads will be shipped to market at
an average of 25 cents bushel.

Fled with Her Husband.

Judge Lawrence, of the Sumner
county district court, denied a writ
of habeas corpus to Edgar Hutchin-
son, who alleged that his wife was
being kept from him by her guard
ian. Hutchinson and Melvia Abshear,
a girl of Is, had eloped from Ashton
and been married. Within "a hours
the mother and the guardian of the
bride got hold of her and took her
away. At the hearing Judge Law
renee asked the girl if she preferred
to go with her husband or her
mother. She decided for her mother,
and the judge at once dismissed the
case. This was the condition of
things up to last Saturday morning,
when the mother and daughter drove
up to the postoffice at Ashton and the
mother went inside. When she re-
turned she found the girl gone, and
she had fed with her husband, who
was hanging around. The girl is
something of an heiress and con-
siderable money belonging to her is
in the hands of her guardian.-Kan-
sas City Journal.

The ResourcefuI Lawyers.

At Wellington, Henry Lowery was
convicted of murder in the second
degree on the charge that he had adj
ninistered morphine to his baby.
Now his lawyers ask for new trial
on the groud that one who admin
listers poison and causes death can
not rightly be convicted of anything
less than murder in the first degree,
as it possesses the essential element
of generalization. And, having proved
that their client is guilty of higher
degree of crime than the one of which
he was convicted, the lawyers will
next try to prove that he was guilty
of no crime at all.-Kansas City Jour
nal

Castro seems to have kept the line
of retreat to the United States open.
The latest developments in his quar-
ter, too, show that he may need to
use this country as a refuge from
his enemies. Castro's overthrow
might bring peace to Venezuela for
few weeks or months, but so did his
victory when he went to the head of
affairs. Governments in that coun-
try are commonly of few days and
full of trouble.

The Man of Importa nee

Once upon a time there was man who

He apparently feels that the world re.
wolves around him." said one of his
