Easv to Get,

Pierpont, O., Oct. 5th.-Remarkable
indeed is the experience of Mr.. A. s.
Turner, a man now over seventy-one
years of age, and whose home is here,
For many years this old gentleman
had suffered with very unpleasant
form of Kidney Trouble, kind that
very often bothers aged people. He
would have to get up four or five
times every night, and this very tire
some disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up
his mind that he would never be
able to get relief, he stumbled over a
medicine which relieved him almost
Immediately, and has cured him per.
manently. 1t is so very easy to get
and so simple that Mr.. Turner thinks
everyone should know of it. Every
dealer in the country has it, and all
you have to do is to ask for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Mr.. Turner says:-
81 can heartily and honestly recon-
mend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they
cured me. Several others in the fam
fly have used them too, and always
with the best results. / think they
have no equal"

Coca to Court of Claims.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Justice Amber
son of the supreme court of the District
of Colombia, rendered an opinion in
the injunction proceedings of the Della
ware Indians against Secretary Hitch
cock and the Dawes Indian commission
dissolving the temporary injunction
heretofore granted. The case involved
the right of the secretary to pass on
the 1877, 900 acres of land in the Chero-
lxee nation segregated for the use OF
Delawares. The Indians claimed that
the secretary is without authority to
approve or disapprove of the segrega-
ton as it has been approved by the In
dams interested and asked that he be
enjoined against taking such action
pending the adjudication of the same
question by the court of claims.

Use only KANSAS BRANDS
Mills OF The State Are Running
At Their Full Capacity
EXPORT MARKET IS GROWING.

Topeka, Sept 30.--Reports which are
reaching the officers of the Kansas
Millers' Association here are to the
effect TINT the mills OF the state are
running at their full capacity, and
have orders for several months in adj
vance. The millers are refusing to
brand their products rs anything other
than Kansas -four. They decided upon
this action last summer and they were
afraid that the result would be very
injurious to their trade during the first
year. However, the price Of -four has
been advanced and they are still get
ting more orders than they can fill.
The export market is better than it
has ever been. The first of the new
wheat flour which has reached the for
eign markets has caused demand for
more. The millers ascribe this demand
for the Kansas wheat to the position
which they took on the subject OF sell
ing their -four under their own brands
and to the advertising which their
flour and wheat has received during
the last year. The London millers
have written to their friends in this
state asking them what is the matter
with the Kansas millers and why they
are asking more than usual for their
-four. Some OF the foreign millcrs are
suggesting that possibly Kansas mill
ers do not want trade and have de-
clared that the latter are taking the
proper course to lose it. However, the
orders still come from foreign mer-
chants and millers faster than they
can be filed

Have struck It Rich.

Topeka, Oct. Producers of Kansas
broom corn have struck rich harvest
this season. The better quality of corn
is bringing 500 ton, while the poor
est brings $50. The quality is better
this year than for several years past
and the yield is good. The acreage,
however, is smaller. The broom corn
district is confined to three or four
counties in Central Kansas. Rice county
is the heaviest producer. One farmer
there got five tons from fifteen acres
and sold it for $500 cash. Broom corn
brokers for Eastern whisli broom fac
tories are securing tho district for
brush. oklahoma also has fine crop
of broom corn this season.

EnoIand's Iron Imports.

The large imports of iron ore into
England.-about one-third of the total
amount consumed-is not due to any
fear of the exhaustion of the supply
in Great Britain. but to desire to

mines. The imported ore is largely
