SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of chambalain's
Cough Remedy.

aWhen l had an attack of tile grip
last winter Cthe second onel 1 atuaIly
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy says Frank w.
Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shorts-
vile, y. Y. This is the honest truth. 1
at time kept from coughing myself to
pieces by taking a teaspoonful d this
remedy, and when the coughing spell
would come on at night I would take
a dose and it seemed that in the biefest
interval the cough would pass of and
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and It's accompanying pains To
say that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise is putting it very
mildly. had no idea that it would or
could knock out the grip, simply beause
had never tried It for such a purpose,
but it did, and IT seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caued it
to not only be less of duration, but the
pains were far less severe. and had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

N. p,,r, a yeyrfonndI.,a.


The finest Goldfish in the world are
caugat on the banks Of Newfoundland.
These banks have no connection with
the shores Of the Islands. from which
indeed the nearest Is almost 100 miles
distant. They are really great rocky
heights rising from the bottom Of the
sea. The great bank measures $40
miles from north to south. and from
east to west It measures in places 800
miles. On this bank the depth OF wa
ter varies from 50 to 800 feet. but the
depth around 1t is from 10000 to 150,-
600 feet.
The fishing grounds-or "cod mead
ows,v as they are caIled-do not cover
the whole bank. but are about 200
miles long by 81 broad. Though these
have been 6shed for 100 years the cod
are as plentiful as ever. To the. east
of the great bank lies the outer or false
bank. where the sea Is from 800 to COO
feet deep. The cod caught on the
banks are finer and larger than the
fish taken OF the Labrador coast. This
Is supposed to be due to the fact that
they have reached the age OF four
years and upward, at which age their
habits lead them to feed on the banks
in preference to the shore, where the
younger fish remain all the year.

A stnrr That Varies.

There is n story more or less dinused
of a young bride on her wedding day
playing the game of hide and seek and
concealing herself in one Of those an
Gent carved chests of large size After
she had got in the lid closed and she
found herself unable to raise It again,
for IT fastened with spring and she
was shut IN. Search was made for her
in every quarter but the right one, and
great perplexity and dismay were
caused by her disappearance. It was
not TIL years after when chance led to
the opening of the chest that the body
OF the young bride was discovered and
the mystery OF her disappearance
solved
The story is found in so many places
that it may be questioned whether 1t Is
true OF any one OF them. Rogers tells
It Of a palace IN Modena. The chest in
which the poor bride was found Is
shown at Bramshill, in Hampshire, the
residence Of Sir John Cope. Another
similar chest with precisely the same
story attached to It was long shown at
Maxwell Old Hall, between Winchester
and Bishops waltham.
The folk tale of Catskin or Peau
dane represents the girl flying with
her bridal dresses from marriage that
is repugnant to her, and as this tale
is found all over Europe 1t may have
mc,amorphosed itself into that of the
bride who got into a chest and died

Luck Of a Former Medicine Lodge Man.

who in 1884 aud 1885 practiced dentistry

has struck it rich in becoming in

in Santo Domingo. DIR. Gibson is a

township. this county land IL Gibson
of the Peoples Bank of Browning, Mo.
The older residents of the city will re-
member him and we are confident will
be pleased To learn of bis success, es.
pecially when 1t is remembered that he
sunk all he had in western Kansas dur
ing the boom days. But it Is an old
axiom that you can't keep a good man
down.
The Leader Record of Browning, Mo,
has the follow concerning the new
company:
"Dr. George Il. Gibson of st. Louis q
brother to s. l.. Gibson OF the Peoples
Bank OF this city, has been elected
president of great mining company
now opening up and developing the
rich oil fields of Santo Domingo, one of
the West India Islands. The company
has been incorporated under the name
OF West India Petroleum Mining and
Export Co. with a capital stock of
one million dollars. The lease obtain
ed by this incorporation in Santo
domingo comprise Yearly 250, 900 acres
and the estimated present output from
surface oil is from SO to 500 barrels per
day. The estimated depth of first oil
stratum Is $50 feet. Nearly $500 900 of
the capital stock has already been sold.
The stock recently increased in value
Is per cent"
The lease referred to is one on which
the company has an option of ninety
nine years. The fever has almost In.
fected our friend, Paris Gibson. and he
is thinking seriously of taking a few
shares OF stock.

''PER CAPITER.'

Just now the machine organs, aspect
ally. and all other Kansas papers, gen
orally are full OF the prosperity of Kan
sas, based on bank deposits which are
said to amount to $66.31 per capita for
the state. 1t is remarkably good
showing and the people of Kansas
should feel mot proud. butt thankful to
the Almighty for so great blessing.
But are not the G. o. p. organs a queer
lot? A few years ago they lacked words
to express ridicule and contempt for
the poDulists' claim that per capiter"
had anything to do with the prosperity
of the people, and Senator Long said
in speech here that we had too much
money, which statement was iterated
b. the me too" organs all over the
state. Now they tell you the populists
we're right. Aren't they funny lot?
One never can tell where to find them,
more than which way weather vane
will point in the next hour on windy
day in Kansas.-Rlce County Eagle.

Popular Cartoons.

The art of newspaper Illustration in
us present form is a development Of
recent years. Newspaper cartoons have
become most popular feature Of up
to.date metropolitan daily papers
The unique and catchy drawing now
appearing daily on the front page of
The Chicago Record Herald is one of
the many special features of the great
paper. The Record Herald has been
fortunate in securing one of the best
young artists in the country to carry
out its popular policy of presenting
each day humorous and good natured
cartoon. Mr.. Ralph Wilder is one of
the coming men in newspaper work.
His success has been as pronounced as
1T has been rapid. He SHOWS all of the
good -natured humor and the brighter
side of everyday common life which
has carried his work to very popular
success. His drawings are on all of
the various subjects of popular interest,
political and otherwise. Current events
are wildly portrayed in a way that
pleases, yet often giving just criticism
in way that does not offend Through
bis excellent work on eastern magazines
Mr.. Wilder first attracted universal
attention. The Record Herald recog-
nize in him at once cartoOnlst of
unusual promise, and congratulates it's
readers on having been fortunate
eLough to engage him.

Now that winter time will soon be
knocking at the back door of the hus-
bandman, it is Opportune to AGAIN
admoniSh the American voter that he
VII be called upon in another year to
say by his ballot whether he prefers
that the coal trust shall control the
government-which is another name
for the people-rather than the govern
ment shall control the coal trust as
well as all other trusts. It might not
be bad idea to throw off the Shiny garb
of partisan prejudice for once and do
something for the home.

The question of how the farmers Of
the western states stand on the tariff
and trust issues has been strongly in
dictated through the enterprise of the
Farm and Home" published In
Chicago. That newspaper sent out
$4,000 postal cards requesting answers
to seven questions, amongst which was:
"Should tariff be revised?' The vote
on that proposition was yes, q 1893; no
10,728. When it is considered that the
majority in most of the states from
which this vote was gathered is largely
republican. it marks the revolt in the
ranks of that party against excessive
protection But another vote was
taken on kindred subject that shows
how the extortions OF the trusts are
regarded by the farmers. The question
asked was: "ShouId trusts be regulated
or suppressed?'' The answer was:
Regulated. 22,S54; Suppressed, 14,449.
This straw vote shows the drift for
tariff reform and regulation of
the trusts. The standpatters haye a
job in front of them next year.
