D1sLocATED HER SHOULDER.

Mrs Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn, fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad- vertised for sprains and soreness and she asked him to buy her a bottle Of it. which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep, which she. had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by all druggists.

What the Nordenskjold Expedition
Found Down South.

Argentine government has embarked

juca, says a Herald dispatch from
Buenos Ayres, Argentine.
The explorer, just prior to his depar-
ture, appeared before the Argentine
Geographical Institute and gave a de-
scription OF his voyage. He declared
the main object of the expedition was
not to make a record over other parties
for advancing southwark, but to make
a thorough geographical and biological
study of regions never before visited.
AS for the geogra phica1 results, DR..
Nordensk1old said he had drawn the
canal to the 66th degree. Passing
through Louis PHILIPPE land the ex-
plorers discovered land joining Louis
PHILIPPE land and King Oscar land.
They found also that a canal existed
between that land and Admiralty
strait
All maps of that country, the ex-
plorer said so far published are mac
curate. There is no broad land but
The whole region is of granite origin,
surmounted by strata in which fossils
abound. In these fossils are many sea
molluskss bones of vertebrates and
leaves of trees. The whole region
greatly resembles that of Patagonia, of
which it seems to be a PRONUNCIATION.
No lake animals Of my kind are found
as we'll as birds and inferior animals.
The climate is exceedingly cold. Winds
blow continuously, and sometimes are
much the force of hurricane.

STATE NAY STOP 1T.
Selling of Liquor Through Express
Offices.

A new scheme of Missouri liquor
houses that sell liquor by express is
related by a county attorney of south
eastern Kansas to the attorney gen
erals department They first secure
the names of persons who would prob
ably like to have q. jug of liquor, and
they ship it to them c. o. D., without
it being ordered. At the same time
they notify the persons to whom the
liquor is shipped. In many instances
the persons to whom the liquor is adj
dressed pay the charges and take it
out of the express offices. If they do
not take it within a specified time 1t
is returned to the shipper.
The liquor house makes note of all
persons who receive the liquor, and
after time another consignment is
shipped them. again without being Or
dered. This is kept up as long as they
continue to receive and pay for the
liquor. This, the county attorney says,
virtually makes the depot the liquor
warehouse. and he asks if there is any
way to stop 1t. Assistant Attorney
General Close is studying on the
problem.

DEMAND FOR LAND.
J. F. Close Says Northern Kansas Is
Booming.

J. f. Close, assistant attorney gem
eral, who has just returned from. a trip
to his home in Republic county, says
that there is a big demand for land ia
that region now. He says that land
values in many Instances have in
creased 100 per cent in the last four or
five years.
Land doesn't stay long on the mar

farm is for sale some man picks it up
right away, and the price and details
are arranged later. I know of a quar-
ter section that sold up there the other
day for IS, 600, and several for between
ST, 600 and $4,000. One quarter section

quarter which was purchased for So. 900

except some fences. Forty dollars an
acre is a good averaga price for land
that has Improvements on it.
Considerable land is changing hands,
too. Some of the old farmers who have
become pretty well-to-do are retiring

FOR THE STATE.
Suit Commenced to Recover De-
boissiere Home.
Action Is Commenced in Frank
lin County.
TEST THE ALIEN LAW.
Claim That Property Could Not
Go to Foreigner.
Troutman & Stone Say They An
ticipated the Suit.

Ottawa, Kan, Dec 14.-County At
torney Pleasant on behalf of the state
Of Kansas today filed a suit to recover
the Deboissiere Orphans home property
in Franklin county now held under a
supreme court decision by Troutman &
Stone Of Topeka. The present action is
taken under the alien land law pro-
hibiting alien heirs from acquiring title
to the land of aliens. Troutman &
Stone and the former Odd Fellows
board of home trustees are made de-
PENDANTS. The action asks possession
and 1885, 600 rental.
Robert Stone, of the firm of Trout
man & Stone of Topeka, stated today
that he did not believe that the suit in
stituted in Franklin county would in
terfere with their possession Of the
property because the state law inter
fered with the treaties existing between
the prosecution would nave to establish
the claim that their grantor, Madame
Corrine Martinelli, was an alien.
Although this law has never been
tested in Kansas Mr.. Stone said st
has in many other states and in every
instance has been knocked out While
we were ignorant of the bringing of
this suit we have apprehended that
something of the sort might arise and
are net surprised to know of it. We
are not alarmed about the outcome of
the action. The existing treaties be-
tween our government and France obvi-
ate the effect of the law and it will not
hold good regarding our case. Besides
that the state will lave to prove that
our grantor was an alien. She was re-
siding in France when she gave us
her claim to the properly but she had
previously lived in this country for
many years.
Grand Secretary W H. Kemper of
the Odd Fellows of Kansas was first
informed of the bringing of the suit
by a reporter for the State Journal.
The Odd Fellows have been made de-
PENDANTS in the action. Mr.. Kemper
expressed some surprise and said:
-'Tbe bringing of this action suits US
very well, as it will tie up the property
and give the Odd Fellows an oppor-
tunity to establish the validity of their
claims against the estate. We are very
well pleased to be made defendants.
I knew nothing of the bringing of the
cult. but do not know that the mem
bers of the grand lodge committee ap-
pointed to have charge of the De Bots
siere affairs are not behind it."
That committee is composed of Grand
Master Conner T. Davies of Concordia,
Deputy Grand Master @. w ALBANIAN
of Atchison, and Grand Warden J. l.
Saunders of Cheney.
Having recently secured a loan OF
S?F coo upon the De BoisSiere property,
rroutman e Stone are not greatly con-
cerned about the legal proceedings
which, had they been commenced a
week ago, before the loan was made,
firm from realizing anything upon their
possession of the property. What the
firm proposes to do with the money has
not been made public.

DISPOSES OF EDEN.
DR.. Savage Says the Garden Is No
Longer Believed In.

New York, Dec. 14.-In a sermon on
the life of the late Herbert Spencer, the
Rev. DR.. Minot ]. Savage, in the Uni
tartan church of the Messiah has given
the theory of evolution credit for hav-
ing forever destroyed intelligent belief
on the part of anybody in the Garden
of Eden, Adam and Eve or the fall of
man. Evolution" he asserted, has
forever removed those stories and kim
dred ones to the land of myth, where
they belong
In concluding his remarks, DR.. Savage
said:
Humanity has been on this earth
two or three hundred thousand years
at least. Humanity, however. slowly,
has been evolving, claiming from the
far-off beginning there never has been
any fall. Evolution has wrought out
not the fall of the man, but the ascent
of man. That means the complete re-
construction of the entire theology of
Christendom- 1t is coming; it has got
to come There are thousands OF
churches today in which the Eden story
is quietly referred to as though it were
poetry or allegory. There are thou
sands of others where it is quietly laid
to one side"
