Frank R. Stockton, the writer, died in Washington
Sunday many things all Of them good, but the
story which won him fame by which he viii be

present moment confne woman, detected arrested tried

law.
If she is Of philosophical turn she not yet have
arrived at comforting of the eternal principles for
which she must make this sacrifice She may not be
able to see how Law is conserved and Justice made -
nmphant by punishment for It is likely that she
understands alone is the only human being so

labor it by what strategy it was saved IN
committee from evil influences which sought its death;
how other bills affecting everything in Kansas from poly
wogs to plutocrats we're tramped down, kicked aside
and pushed back that this enactment might be consum
mated and its provided furthers cleanse this state of
The demon Of gambling.
She will scarcely remember with what fear from the
guilty and with what jubiant satisfaction from the morally
superior the state witnessed bills triumphant passage:
how the afternoon whist sampeded in whirlwind
Of founces and gitbacked decks and how the church
social grabbag went fabbiy under of wrong.
She may not comprehend that Kansas in the following
gears has been purged that Topeka hotels the
who help make laws have ceased in the night

the roulette wheel and the rattle Of dice have passed

George Schaub, well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is
constant reader of the Dayton Volk-
szeltuug. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in it's
columns, and when he saw Chamber
lains Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he, did not hesitate IN
buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: after
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me: 4 feel as thoug h
born anew and before using the en-
tire contents of the bottle the unbear-
able pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This
valuable liniment is for sale by all
