For Aued PEOPLE.

B~ellfiower. Mo, July 6th.-Mr. G. v.
Bohrer of this place has written an
open letter to the old men and WON
en of the country, advising them to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy
for those forms of Kidney Trouble so
common among the aged. Mr.. Bohr-
er says - Z

my Kidneys and urinary organs. 1
was obliged to get up as many IS
seven or eight times during the
night.
Il tried many things with no sue
cess, till l saw one of Dodd's Alma
macs, and read of what Dodu's Kid
ney Pills were doing for old people.
i bought two boxes from our drug
gist and began to use them at once.
In a very short time l was well. This
is over a year ago. and my trouble
has not returned, so that l know my
cure was a good, genuine, permanent
one.
Il believe Dodd's Kidney Pills are
a splendid medicine for old people or
anyone suffering with Kidney and uri-
nary troubles, for although / am "a

Seventeen-Cent Ratjons.

1t is pointed put that the cost OF
feeding the militia which went to ST,
Louis was 60 cents per man per day.
The cost of feeding the regulars was
II cents. Here is a typical program
for one day: Breakfast-Oatmeal and
milk, pork sausage, potatoes, bread
and coffee. Dinner-Bread and coffee,
baked beans, pork, catsup. Supper
Bean soup. cold corned beef, potatoes,
bread end coffee. This was varied
from day to day in the way of bacon,
ham, fresh beef, canned beef, peas,
onions and other vegetables. The
regulars we're better fed at II cents
per day than the militia at 60 cents.

FORGETTING SCHOOL LEASES.
Interest Delinquent on About One
Hundred Thousand Acres.

D.
LINCOLN-Two Thousand notices
Of forfeiture of school land leases
have been sent out by Land Commits
sioner Follmer. Nearly 100, 900 acres
of land will be affected and the de-
faulted interest will run up into the
thousands. The exact amount is not
attainable now, and will not be known
until the balancing of the books takes
place. 1t is estimated that it will not
fall below $4,000. This represents
six months default, and. under the law
the lessees have ninety days in which
to pay up. If they do not do SO they
a only get the lease renewed by
paying up and in addition a lease fee
of so cents for each forty acres.
The usual practice heretofore has
been to wait until actual delinquency
occurs before starting in on the prep
aration Of the notices. Deputy Eaton
has changed this and had the notices
prepared in advance SO that the state
will lose no interest. MI. Follher has
been pushing collections vigorously.
In the old days delinquents were Civ
en- all the time they desired, and in
the end a good many TO them duped
the state. In one case, when Mr.. Foil
mer took hold, the delinquency coy
cred a period of thirteen years. His
practice has been to forfeit all leases
just as soon as the law will permit,
where the holders do not comply with
the terms of their agreement.

The Race Question.
From the Rnltimore World.


The race problem cannot be settled IN an
GER II cannot be settled by those people
who do not understand it. Experience gives
understanding, and the theorists are the ones
who have not had the experience. The eN-
perienced ones are in the South and the the
orists in the North. But the field of expert
ence is widening year by year, and those af-
fairs which the North was pleased to call, a
few wears ago, Southern outrages,' are be
coming Northern outrages,' with terrible
embellishments that were never conceived IN
the South.
Ii is not question of section, but one of
humanity. virtue and the sacredness of the
home. The people of the North are begin
ming TO understand this as the terrible truth
comes home to them.
1t will do no good TO rail AMI rant over the
moral shortcomings of the negro, aud II Will
be equally as fruitless to hurl epithets at those
who, in excess Of anger and revolt against as
saults on womanhood and the home, resort to
mob violence The question must be settled
in another way.
The Northern agitator does not know what
the negro is. The Southern citizen does, and
for that reason they do not agree. The South
ern citizen has the experience, the Northern
agitator the theory.
Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan believed that the
turning loose of million negroes, uneducat-
ed. absolute babes in the care of themselves
and understanding of the meaning Of freedom,
was wrong. His contention was that they
should be educated to understand the wonder
ful blessing offered them. The idea helped
defeat him for the Presidency, vet future
wears have proved the wisdom of it. Forty
years of absolute freedom have not done for
the negro what ten years should have done
had the Mcclellan idea been put into effect.
There are negroes who, in a great degree,
understand and profit from the great oppoc
/ unity offered them in freedom and the same
| rights accorded the whites. There are thou
| sands of others who look upon freedom aud
/ chase a political Office or sell their votes
| There are still others who have had soue al
vantages of education. vet sill. interpret
| freedom as license, and who believe their
| fellows who have been guilty Of the most afro
! cious Of crimes and made to suffer by mob
violence. are martyrs. whose cause they
| should champion and whose toul example
| they should emulate
These conditions are due 20 the unScrgPu-
! lous politicians who viii stoop TO any means
! to gain their political ends, no matter If the
/ sanctiiy of the home Is endangered by 1t. Il
| is due also To the continual bapiug Of the
/ Northern theorists. who condemn the whites
/ for reyenging the assaults upon their homes.
| but forget to condemn the fou. brute who has
l blackened the life OF woman or girl and cast
! a terrible shadow over the home.
| If the theorists sjIi stop u,utiuE long
! enough to listen to reason. and then iei the
| matter be adjusted by those who have the rN-
perience, there viii be cause for hope.
