WHAT A MINISTER SAID.

A Christian Minister, who has
cause to know Vitae-Ore from what
it has accomplished in<his family, a
few Sundays ago made use of~+he
following expression:
Brethren, this Christian Religion

we are hearing so much about in
this city and seeing so frequently
spoken of in the Public Press. 1t
steals on you like this medicine, is
Slapped into your veins until it be-
comes a part of your being, always
doing good; it's influence grows and
grows upon you and you feel so
good about it that you want to tell
another, so he may enjoy it's bene-
fits and get to know it as you know
it."
Readers of this paper who have
used Vitae-Ore know this to be true.
The p]roprietors of this remarkable
remedy desire every reader of this
paper who needs such a medicine to
test it at the company's risk, so that
each reader may>know and feel cts
influence" as spoken of in the pulpit.
They do not ask for cash, but desire
each person to use the Ore for thirty
days time before paying one cent and
none need pay unless positively ben
Gifted. The offer, headed "You r to
be the Judge" which appears in this
issue, is certainly an original one and
can be read and accepted with profit
by every ailing person. The com
pany is reliable and will do as they
agree.

National Aid to Road Improvement
Growing Popular.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Congressman Brownlow, of Ten
nessee, says that his good roads bill
is the most popular measure intro
duced in Congress since the Civil
War. He says that even the Demo
cratic Legislature of his own State
has endorsed it, and that the Legis-
latures of Minnesota, Missouri, Ala
bama and New Mexico, have taken
similar action; and that he believes
the bill will be endorsed by the Leg
islature of every State in the Union,
if that is necessary in order to press
upon Congress the Importance of the
measure. The following is a copy of
the resolution as adopted by the Leg
i~slature of Minnesota:
Whereas, the burden of improving
and m~aintaing our highways accord
ing to the general prevailing system
in this country rests entirely upon
the agricultural lands and people liv-
ing in the rural districts, and
Whereas, the State-aid plan for
constructing highways, as practiced
in the States of New Jersey, New
York Connecticut and Massachusetts
has proven satisfactory in it's opera
ton, and has offered a partial solu-
ton of the road question in hat it
distributes this burden of cost so that
one-half is paid out of a general
fund supplied by the State, and
Whereas, it is desirable to extend
this principle of cooperation and
distribution of the burden of cost to
a still greater extent, so that the
Government of the United States
shall bear a share of the cost of con-
struction to be paid out of the gen
eral revenue of the United States,
and
Whereas, one-half of said revenues,
aggregating during the last two
years $1,000, OOO, 1000 per annum, is de-
rived from the agricultural States
and rural districts, while only ten
per cent of the total amount is ap-
]propriated by Congress for the use
of said agricultural States and dis
t%ricts, while ninety per cent is ap-
propriated for public buildings and
other uses pertaining to great cities.
and
Whereas, the Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow, member of Congress from
Tennessee, has introduced a bill in
the National House of Representa-
tives, providing for a system of Ma,
tional, State, and local cooperation
in the permanent improvement of the
public highways, according to the
provisions of which the sum of $780,.
100000 is appropriated, and the
United States Government is to pay
one-half of the cost of improving
any public highway when requested
so to do by, and in cooperation with
any State or civil subdivision there.

"Not Guilty" the story Of the lif'
Of James B. Shane, and written by
himself has been issued from the RE-
FLEcToR job rooms and will be on
sale Monday. Parties can secure
same by applying to John Shane.
The story is in pamphlet form and
covers 1853 pages. 1t was written
within a space of three weeks and
deals most wildly with Mr.. sbane's
early life, army career and later with
his residence in Kansas, both at Abb
lene and Lawrence. The prime OBJ
ject Of the story is to give the public
knowledge of the killing Of young Ed
Katherman for which offense Mr..
Shane is now undergoing life impris-
onment. His contention is that the
shooting was accidental, this fact not
being brought out at the trial. and
the book gives q most lucid account
Of the affair. 1t is the expectation Of
his friends that executive clemency
will be granted him and q move in
that direction will be made.
Old friends OF Jim Shane here will
read the story with interest.
