The Kansas grand lodge, I. o. o. F.,
In session at Pittsburg last week, dis
posed of the shortage of eX-Secretary
D. w. Kent. Within the past month
Mrs. Kent, who was anxious to clear
up the charges against her husband,
decided to the grand lodge an sO-acre
farm near Hutchinson, upon which
there are 1000 young apple trees,
valued at $4,000, receiving therefor a
cancellation of all indebtedness to
the grand lodge. This body also dis
missed suit now in court against the
surety company, brought to collect
the amount of Kent's bond. This
land came into the possession of Mrs.
Kent through the death of relative
and Kent owned no part in it. She
also borrowed 500 on a suburban
property near Hutchinson to clear o
mortgage on the farm, so she could
give clear deed. Her only stipula-
ton was that the grand lodge lease
the farm to her for five years at an
annual rental of $3.50, with the privi-
lege of purchasing the property by
the payment to the grand lodge Of
all Indebtedness against her husband,
which amounts to about $4,000. A
resolution was adopted giving to the
Rebekah assembly the rental coming
from this farm, and if the property
is sold at the price named, the money
is to 60 into the odd fellows or
phans' home fund.

Fictitious.

It is very seldom that we pay much at
tention to reports circulated IN reference
to the virtue of patent medicine, as we
have always considered that reports of this
nature were more or less fictitious and got
ten up for the purpose of creating demand
from the public. But the publication IN
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tanned from using that famous remedy st.
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that it IS
us to make trials of it in our own family.
One, a case of lumbago of long standing
which had previously resisted every form
of treatment, was permanently cured by
few applications of the Oil. Another was a
sprained ankle, with severe pain. Tins
was instantly relieved and permanently
cured in few days by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia
it acted almost like magic, so quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was SO highly satisfactory that
we determined in the interest of the gen
eral public to make thorough local lnves-
tigation among dealers and others who have
sold and used st. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and Co. as headquarters Tor
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Briggate Store, and on making known the
object of our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
were selling more thar a thousand bottles
of St. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly increasing-that 1t was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken of by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds of
people say they had been permanently cured
of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and SIM
liar complaints by the use of this famous Oil.

In Need of Rain,

According to reports received by

board of agriculture, the farmers are
in great need of heavy rains. The gen.
eral lack of moisture, Mr.. True fears,
presages another dry season. He
says:
1.-The season just opening is slightly
earlier than an average of. the past ten
years in Wisconsin, and in many parts OF
the state seeding has been actively com
menced. The soil is in good condition Tor
handling and the conditions are favorable
for the termination of grain seeds, but
in the southern part Of the state the ran
of snow and rain during the winter and
early spring has been insufficient to thor
oughly moisten more than the surface
soil, and as below two feet Of the surface
the earth has not been saturated since the
drought of 1901 copious and frequent
showers are needed to prevent like dis
astrous results in 1902.
