Children's Home Society.

The Children's Home Society of West
Virginia was organized sly years ago,
and is a branch of the National Children S
Home Society with Headquarters at Chi
cago. 1t is in operation in twenty-six
States and soon will be in all the States.
Since the National Society began work
there have been 10 5000 homeless children
placed in good homes to grow up in the
family, and to be made into good citizens
instead Of joining the army Of tramps
And Of these 10, 900 homeless little ones
more than 226 are West Virginia children
At first they are given temporary care in
the receiving Home at Charleston. w
Va. where they are cleansed. clad. and
taught for short period pending their
placement in carefully Investigated fam
ily homes, on 90 days trial. More than
half of these trial placements finally be-
coming adoptions into the best of fami-
lies. thus relieving the State of an inn
mense burden while rescuing the home
less little ones from pauperism, shame
and criminality. The Society exercises
watchful care over these children from
placement in homes until their maturity.
For the financial support Of this great
benevolence the Society has from its be-
ginning trusted in the grace of giving in
the hearts of all Christian people, and in
the patriotism of the phila1thropic peo-
pie of West Virginia. In which conf
dence we feel strong and hopeful, hav-
ing not been disappointed. Having no
other source OF revenue, the friends of
the homeless little ones are earnestly re-
quested to give us aid. We are asking
this county for the gift of not less than
500. We are seeking for 100 friends of
the fatherless and homeless who will give
ST each, and SO make up the gift.
Dear Friend. will you be one of the
100 to give 81 each Let~me enroll your
name and gift on my list. Please give
the orphans 81, and so bid me God
speed in the good work.
Jesus says 1T is more blessed to give
than to receive"
He that giveth to the poor lendeth to
the Lord. ["
The poor We have with you always,
and whatsoever ye will ye may do them
good, but me ye.have not always" says
Jesus. will be very thankful for your
name and contribution. Help to save the
little ones. N. o. Sewers,
District Superintendent

John Chain as county clerk was in
structed to attend the meeting of the
state board of equalization whenever he
could have hearing. The last matter is
very important and through the efforts
of Commissioner Redfeld, Sedgwick coun-
" will very likely receive a great benefit
from hearing before the state board of
equalization. In speaking Of this matter,
Mr.. Redfield said to a reporter for the
Eagle:
THE county clerk goes up there armed
with statistics. Every time heretofore
that he has gone. Sedgwick county has
contained a concession from the board,
and there is no reason to believe other
wise than that she will receive one this
time.

Importance of the field we have
decided to concentrate our batteries
on this city and the entire stare of
Kansas, in the way of systematic adver-
Using through the press. We are also
great believers in supplemental advertis-
ing and will place a nice line in every
house in this city and suburbs We are
not doing this work in haphazard man
ner. but in thoroughly systematic way.
We take the official population based
upon the last census and in this way
We reach the head of every family. We
are shipping this advertising to central
points in carload lots and from there
redistributing TO the various sections.
We are determined that every man. wo-
man and child in Wichita and through
out this section of country shall know Of
TEACHERS Remedies. especially their
preparation of Liver Medicine. Liver and
Blood Syrup, Worm Syrup and Cholera
Mixture
The booklet they are now distributing
is work of real art. being Mth-
ographed in four colors and is de-
voted especially to the liver medicine
and liver and blood syrup. They are
using in the production of this booklet
and their 1903 almanac 10000 pounds of
paper or twenty carloads. II printed in
one continuous strip. one sheet wide, it
would require 81. coo miles or more than
the circumference of the earth. or the
combined mileage OF the Rock Island
Cotton Belt. Southern Pacific l. & G. y
end Santa Fe railroads would not equal
it. They are printing in their own plant
an edition of 60JJ,0O booklets and alma
macs annually. Thachers Remedies were
first manufactured in 1852 and have stood
the test continuously for fifty years. and
the sales are greater today than they
have ever been and are constantly in
creasing. the increase last year alone
being IS per cent. The coupon going with
the liver medicine and liver and blood
syrup emitting the consumer TO $500 on
the basis Of the expectation Of cotton. is
creating a sensation. and to a large ex-
tent concentrating the trade on Thach-
ers medicine Since the introduction Of
this coupon system. their trade has quad
rupled. Instead Of buying a 25 cent pack
age the consumer buys dollar package.
as in this way he gets FIVE coupons with
a % cent package free. This enables the
druggist 10 quadruple his profit. The
company has thousands OF customers
and is covering twenty states and a por-
ton of Mexico. There could be no more
convincing evidence Of the merit Of
Thachers goods than the age Of them.
and when a man uses them. ne has the
satisfaction Of knowing they have been
tried and tested and have behind them
the reputation Of half century Of cures.
In speaking Of this local advertising Mr.
Haymore saws it win be constantly re-
inforced. Thacher's remedies are fast
achieving a national reputation The
straightforward and progressive meth
DDS of thefcompany make it a pleasure TO
do business with them.

BURIED WITH
SOLEMN RITES
Funeral of DR.. FurIey Held
Yesterday Afternoon
/ REV. HARMON'S TRIBUTE
Service Was Conducted by
Order of Odd Fellows.

Covered with beautiful tributes and &C
companied by hundreds of sorro<Tine
friends of the family. the remains of tbs
late Dr.. c. C. Furley were borne Il
Highland cemetery yesterday afternoon
after an Impressive service had been helc
at the residence of the family of tn,
deceased. 1920 North Lawrence avenue
The service was held at o'clock and
was under the auspices of the I. o. o. F.
of which Dr. Furley was a member.
The funeral was attended by the ODD
Fellows lodge, and by many member.
OF the board of education. of which Dr.
Furley was treasurer, and several hun
bred friends of the family.
The service opened with the singing
of Nearer, My God, to Thee" after
which the ritualistic service of the Odd
Fellows was carried out. After reading
q brief biographical sketch of Dr. Fur
ley. Rev \. E. Harmon, chaplain of the
1 o. 0. F. No. 90 delivered the following
beautiful tribute of respect for the char
acter of the departed and Expressive OF
the hope of immortality.
Il am persuaded that this is not an
ordinary occasion. Dr. Furley was d
public man. a man who had the interest
of the public at heart; and there are PEG.
pie all over the city who have received
his kind ministrations that today sit in
ouietude and drop a tear for him that
is gone before.
He lives today among the beautiful
the pure and the blest. He walked
among US and was our friend, and ne
has been my friend. And not only SO.
bat he was the friend of humanity. He
had a heart touched with sympathy, ten
deTness and love. His chosen profession
was as dear to him as his right eye. He
loved his calling and was true to those
who committed themselves to his care.
No one better knows the life of a ply
sician that minister Side by side they
= atch. They mingle together by the
side of the sick and dying. How much
pleasure it was for me to know DR.. Fur
icy, in his tenderness, loyalty, devo-
ton and love.
How much he has done for this com
munity no one knows. He has given
away forunte to the people around him.
We are here today as neighbors and
friends, and let me impress you with the
fact that we are all mourners.
1t was said that he loved the G. A.
r. and the orders to which he belonged.
None did he love more than the l. o. o.
F. We come with all the tenderness We
possess to sympathize with the bereaved
wife and daughters who were the idols
of his home. They will miss his love
and We must see to it that our love and
sympathy shall be extended to them.
I'VE say goodnight, but we shall say
good-morning in the day that shall have
no ending"
During his address Rev. Mr.. Harmon
read Colonel Murdock's obituary of Dr.
Furley, published in yesterdays Eagle.
After the address of Rev. Harmon, Mr..
George Riley sang Rest in Peace" by
Frank Walsh, and Mrs Hiram Imboden.
Miss Blanche Imboden and Mr.. Riley
sang Lead. Kindly Light" which was
one Of the favorite hymns of DR. Furley
The remains were then borne to the
cemetery where they were Inferred with
the ceremonies of the Odd Fellows.
