TO CUTICURA
The World Is CutiCura'S Field,

''G desire to give my voluntary testi-

Cuticura Remedies. I have suffered
for some time from an excess of uric
acid in the blood; and since the middle
of last year, from a severe attack of
Eczema, chiefly on the scalp, face, ears
and neck and on one limb. 1 was for
several months under professional
treatments, but the remedies prescribed
were of no avail, and I was gradually
becoming worse, my face was dread
fully distigured and lost nearly all my
hair. At last, my wife prevailed upon
me to try the Cuticurs Remedies and
gave them a thorough trial with the
most satisfactory results. The disease
soon began to disappear and my hair
commenced to grow again. A fresh
growth of hair is covering my head,
and my limb (although not yet quite
cured) is gradually improving. My wife
thinks so highly of your remedies that
she has been purchasing them in order

dispatch from Atchison says: .'Op-
pOnentS of Charlie Curtis are now
claiming that Shawnee county is not
rightfully in the First congressional
district, and threatening to have the
matter tested. They say that the act
of congress giving Kansas an eighth
congressman provided that such addi-
tional representative should be elected
by the state at large, and the other
representatives, by the districts now
prescribed by law until the legislature
of such state, in the manner herein pre-
scribed, shall redistrict the state That
act was passed in 1891, and the state
has since elected it's eighth congress-
man at large. 1t is claimed that the
POpuliSt legislature Of 1897, without any
attempt to redistrict the state, changed
the First district SO as to include
Shawnee county, and that while the
Legislature had an undiSputed right to
redistrict the entire state, and provide
another district, it had no right, and
could not under the law, make the
change it did"

Used on This Division.

Evansville, Ind, Oct. 31.-A
large amount of new equipment,
both for passenger and freight
service, is being received by
this division of the L. & N. On
account of the constantly In
creased coal business 260 ninety
foot drop bottom-cars have been
purchased and are being hurried
to different points along the
road as fast as possible. Their
need is already felt and the COM
pany from which they were pur-
chased has been asked to make
the entire delivery. Fifteen new
coaches for the passenger depart
ment will be delivered here with
in the next few days.
Five new freight trainsnhave
been made up at Howell within
the last few days in order to
handle the increased coal and
grain business. Superintendent

to add still more crews but that
unless there is a phenomenal in
crease in traffic he thinks the
road is now in a position to
handle all the business in his
division.

To THE VOTERS OF HOPKINS
COUNTY -
The earnest loyal support of
my own party and the kind un-
solicited expressions of many
good honorable men in all parts
of the County who are tired of
ring rule give me assurance Of
victory.
The unusual effort of petty
politicians to drive voters like
herd of cattle and the false
foolish stories and SCUM Shoeo'
methods, "Large contributions
funds" and singular Campaign
lies, will meet the deserved re-
Duke of the intelligent manhood
of my County who hold their
suffrage sacred. l regret that
circumstances have prevented
me from making an active per-
sonal canvass meeting the voters
face to face. If l am elected to
the Honorable of County Judge
l will try to make an efficient,
economical and faithful officer,
and will always be at my post of
duty. Your continued influence
and help will be sincerely APP
preciated.
Yours truly,

OCTOBER HONOR ROLLS
FROM COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
Munn's School.

II
The genuinely precociouS child is
very rare. Parents are seldom iuSti-
ged in attributing to their children
powers which are transcendent. The
vanity of so doing would be harmless
in itself il it did not sow crop of
terrible mistakes in the treatment of
the child which tends to its bodily
and mental undoing. The signs of
brain fag in child, says DR.. Grace
Peckham Murray, in the August De-
lineator, are easily read, and the
warnings should be needed at once.
Parents should ever be watchful that
the growth of the mind should not be
made at the expense of the body, and
the body at the expense of the mind.
The child's mind is bound to be active
about something; that is its normal
condition. The mischief comes from
overtaxing it with matters which are
beyond its comprehension, or gorging
it with impressions that at best the
child can only partially comprehend.
-:-:-
The question of reading the Bible
in school is being waged in the daily
papers. However the question is de-
cided, the fact remains that, even with
the Sunday school training which
nearly every child receives, there is
The most deplorable ignorance of the
Bible people. 1t would hurt no ones
creed in any way to know who Moses
was, or to listen to the story of JOS
eph with his coat of many colors, or
Esau, who sold his birthright for a
mess of pottage. Children can tell of
Juno and Jupiter and Venus, although
they know nothing Of these charac-
tiers, equally interesting.
