Now January passes,
'Tis February next.
And ere we scarce have time to think
By March's winds we're vexed.

And we pause in breathless wonder
To behold the seasons fly.
If it weren't for the weather
We would think twas most July.

a Prominent Clergyman Tells
How He Escaped from His
Deadly Perils.

When spring comes, with its gentle
showers, its balmy air. its bright sunshine
and bursting buds. it too often brings 10
our homes scenes Of suffering and ply
steal decay.
The seeds Of disease which were imper-
ceptibly terminating during the winter
months. have developed and planted in
the system dangers that now call for our
instant care and attention. Neglect and
procrastination win only deepen existing
perlls and lead 10 death.
Before the advent OF spring you must
have noted symptoms. perhaps Of indi-
geston, dyspepsia rheumatism, neural
gia, kidney disease, liver complaint, func-
tional irregularities, or nervous disorders.
Take warning, sufferersl The symp-
toms you experience are signals Of dis
ease. Delay not another day; hesitation
and indecision on your part may forever
seal your fate. If you have already made
efforts TO Danish your troubles by the
use Of other medicines and the treatment
Of physicians. and these have failed, we
counsel you to put your full trust in that

the chairman of the Sedgwick county
Democratic delegation. stated last even
( ing to a reporter for the Eagle that the
Sedgwick county men would favor hav-
ing the candidate run under the Demo
| cratic banner. He even went so far as
to say that he thought that was The
temper Of the Democracy of the Seventh
! district. Last week the judge stoted
to a reporter that he was certain his
party would not consent to the aban-
donment of its name.
The Populists seemed equally deter
mined When J. p. Parkhurst. The sec
retary of the Populist county commit
tee, was asked how the two parties
would get together. said:
THE Populists comprise four-ffths Of
the anti-Republican voters of the dis
trict and they will not consent to the
nomination of a candidate under the
Democratic head. The thing for the
date we nominate and allow his name
to appear on the ticket under the Pop
ulist head"
W. a. Ayers, who is one Of the leaders
of the Populist party in this district,
said:
The Populists will not consent to
the plan that the candidate shall fight
under the Democratic banner
What about the idea of having an
Independent nomination." was asked.
"An effort viii be made to have that
Plan adopted" replied Mr. Ayers.
"The candidate will either be nomi-
mated as an independent or as a Popu-
list"
Frank Nighswonger Of the POpulist
delegation was equally emphatic regard
ing the matter and opposed the sugges-
tiOn that the Populists should yield TO
the Democrats their party name.
J. 2. Parkhurst was not favorable to
the Independent nomination plan. which
is especially dear to the heart of Mr.
Ayers, and stated that he did not think
it practicable for a district of thirty
seven counties.
There was one Populist on the train.
howvere who said that his party should
let the Democrats have their way. That
was Taylor Riddle Of Marion cOunt%
but he does not live in the Seventh dis
trict. He was chairman of the Popu-
list state committee during the losing
campaign Of 1898 and stin attends the
party conventions.

Riddle. "to see what the boys co. I will
tell them what I think. I believe the

ton seemed favorable TO Vernon Rose Of

could have their way. George T. Pitts
OF Wellington and the Sumner county
