There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it q local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Hali's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney g. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on tbs
market. 1t is taken internally ii
doses from 10 d, ops to teaspoonful
It acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any cass
it fails to cure. Send for circular

Father Wlersma to Leave.

AS stated in the HUSTLER of last
Wednesday, Father Wiersma went to
Wichita for the purpose of being re-
lieved of his duties at this point, as
his health would not permit him to
continue. In addition to having the
convent and congregation at this point
in charge, he also had charge of the
Seward and Hoisington congregations
and all of them combined are too
much for person in good health, let
alone one whose health is not of the
best. Bishop Hennessy has relieved
Father Wiersma and has appointed
to this place Father Joseph Schultz.
The Catholics whose wants have
been ministered to by Father Wiers-
ma in the three years that he has
been their pastor, very much regret
seeing him leave. And this regret is
not confined to the Catholics but to
all our citizens, who have come to
recognize in Father. Wiersma a man
of ability, and one who has not only
worked to the interests of his parish
toner's, but also to that OF the entire
community. He is beloved by all,
and we know the citizens generally
unite with us in expressing sorrow at
his forced retirement.
For Father Schultz we will say that
about four years ago he was stationed
temporarily at Olmitz, and since then
has filled the places of Florence and
Frontenac. He is a very highly ed
ucated man, speaking both German
and English, and we feel sure that
his conduct of the affairs entrusted to
him will be successfully performed.
Father Wiersma has not yet decid
ed on the future, but will begin by
taking a good long vacation, and we
hope and trust that he will be benefit
ted by the same and regain his health
and live for many more years of use
fulness.

Oswald-Koeisch.

:. Gustav Oswald and Miss Ella
Koelsch were united by the tie that
binds, at the home of the brides par
ents, two miles north of Ellinwood,
Wednesday afternoon, Probate Judge
FEEDER officiating. Mr.. Walter Her
old acted as best man. and the brides
sister, Miss Hettie, acted as brides
maid. About fifty guests were pres
emf, and after the ceremony they all
sat down to an elaborate dinner, after
which. the afternoon and evening
were spent in dancing and other
amusements. Many elegant presents
were received by the happy pair.
The bride is the daughter of Jos.
Koelsch, one of the old time and
highly respected farmers of Lakin
township, and has grown to woman
hood in the community in which she
lives. She is one of the most popular
young ladies of the east end of the
county, and the groom is indeed for
tunate in the choice he has made.
Gus Oswald has been in business
at various points in this county since
1896. He was formerly stationed at
Albert, buying wheat for the Kansas
Grain Co, later was transferred to
Ellinwood, and is now one of the
trusted employees of the Rock Grain
Co., having been stationed at Rozel
the past season. He is young man
of integrity, and one who will succeed
in life.
We unite with the many friends
of the young people in wishing them
unbounded happiness and prosperity
in their journey through life.

Oil Notes.

Erie, Kan.-The Erie Crude Oil
company has brought in its second
well, and it has proven fine one.
The we'll is $40 feet and contains 40
feet of oil sand. 1t was shot Friday.
A pump was put to work Saturday
morning and for four hours a steady
yield of 10 barrels an hour was OBJ
tained.o On Sunday morning at 9
o'clock the pump was put to work
again and kept at it for eight hours
For each of these hours steady flow
of ten barrels an hour was the yield.
Well No. 2 is located on Anderson
Hill neer Erie, and is 400 feet from
the company's well No. 1. The lat
ter well is supposed to be the best in
the state, flow 25 barrels an hour.
Drilling operations will. be kept up
in this territory, which is in a fair
way to become one of the best oil
regions of the state.
Humbolt, Kan.-The St Joe and
Kansas Oil and Gas company has
brought in well which is probably
the largest in the Humbolt field. A
conservative estate of the yield is 100
barrels day. The well is on the
Gerkin lease. four miles east of town,
in comparatively new region.
Lindsborg, Kan.-The Lindsborg
Commercial club is discussing the
Iquestion of prospecting for oil just
outside the city limits. The opinion
prevails that oil and gas exists IN this
part of the state. A local compay
viii likely be organized.

The Water Question Again.

The sprinkling season is here and
with it the usual complaints about
poor water pressure, etc. 1t simply
opens up the old question of whether
or not we are paying for what we are
getting, or whether we are paying for
something we are not getting, and of
course most of the citizens think they
are in the latter fix, and what shall we
do to be saved? There is only one
solution to a difficulty of this kind,
and that is the municipal ownership.
Either own this plant or some other
one. These same complaints will
continue to come up as long as a pri-
vate corporation owns the plant.
Time is slipping by. The franchise
will be expiring before very long. and
then we will be compelled TO act. We
should do business right when the
time does come, and the way to that
is to get ready in time, which in turn
means commence now.

STRUGGLE WITH MAD DOG.
An Experience That Some Will Not
Soon Forget.

At the old S. A. Newcombe house
in the southeast part of town, occur
red struggle with what was evident
ly a dog with the rabies. Mrs. c, Q.
Newcombe, who IS quite old and
partial cripple, was in a grape arbor
near the house, when she saw
strange dog approaching which acted
queer, frothing at the mouth, etc.
She ran into an out house at the end
of the arbor to escape, but the dog
sprang in with her, and began an at
tack upon her, tearing her clothing
and frantically trying to bite oher.
The lady's screams attracted the at
tention of w. L. Harrison and other
0eighbors.s q, Harrison went in and
grabbed the dog BY the neck and
pulled him off. Quite Struggle took
place between Harrison and the mad
brute. 1t seemed determined to bite
everything in reach. The women ran
into the house AMI just got the door
closed in time to prevent the animal
, from following them in.. o
Those iuthe house finally handed
a loaded gun out through the window
with which Mr.. Harrison killed the
animal ~
All the people are wonderfully for
tunate in not being bitten by the. mad
brute, as the eye witnesses all say
there Is noquestion but what it was
suffering with rabies. Mrs. New
combe and Mrs. Harrison are both
prostrsted over the terrible excite
ment.

RICHARD MANNING. DECEASED.

: On Saturday, April 18th, 1904, at
11:45. am, Richard Manning, one
of the pioneer settlers of Great Bend,
passed away. He was one of our
best known and respected citizens,
and has conducted blacksmith shop
here for many years.
He was buried at 2: p. m. Sunday
the 18th, under the direction of Great
Bend Knight templars, the services
being held at the M. E. church.
Following is the funeral address
delivered by Rev. A. H. w. Ander-
son, of st. Johns Episcopal church:
The black robed messenger of
sleep, folding her sable wings, has
slaid her calm, inerrable finger upon
him who now rests from his labors,
saying, "Sleep on now and take thy
rest
We speak of death with dread.
Yes, but what is death? What is it
but separation? That is all. The
dread of death is the dread of separa-
ton. To the heather and the agnos-
tic, death is the dark night of o0scur-
ity, which one enters from the large
lighted room of the banquet of life.
From such standpoint man is, as it
were, a bird of night, which, by
chance fits in at some open window,
circles around the lamp of life, par
takes of the joy of its light and
warmth, is dazed and dazzled by i'm
pressions, seeks once more the in
evitable window and is lost in the
darkness of eternity.
Is that the Christian conception?
Is t .lis life with its admixture of joys
and sorrows, pleasures and pain; its
sunshines and storms of human ex-
perience? Is there nothing beyond;
nothing subsequent to these mere
trifings with time, on the part of our
souls experience?

Forced An Entrance.

1t has been some time since any
one or more persons so. deliberately
forced an entrance into room where
number of gentlemen were congre-
gated, that when an, occurrence of that
kind did take place last Saturday
evening, the gentlemen were very
much surprised.
Just as the Workman lodge were
preparing to initiate candidate into
the mysteries of the order for the
benefit of those who might. some day
be dependent upon him, as well as
his own future welfare, crowd, of
about 35 ladies, all members of the
Degree of5Honor, forced Jess Powell,
, son who was acting as outside watch
man, to open the door and then they
untered without the current pass word,
bet with chicken, salads, coffee and
cake, and oother things good to eat,
which was readily accepted by the
surprised Workmen. While some
proceeded to prepare. the lunch, the
rest proceeded ete entertain boys,
which was done in good style. After
supper Master Workman Luse drilled
the crowd in some of his artistic
marches, and when it was about time
for the lights to go out, all went home
hoping to be surprised again some

charitable, he was living example of
the principles OF Knighthood, whose
great example and whose ideal of
Knighthood is Christ.
In ali his dealings with his fellow
men, Mr.. Manning showed himself to
be man of ideals. These ideals
were based upon Christian fellowship
and knightly honor In his almost
twenty years of Knight Templarship,
he proved himself worthy of the title
of his noble Order. Poor soldier of
the Temple of Solomon, Mr.. Manning
was not a self seeking man of the
world. He did not strive and live
for riches. He gained by daily toll
and of what he honestly got he freely
gave.
Generous, genial, gentle; loving
husband, kind father, good citizen,
a loyal friend, a noble Knight. He
sleeps to wake in Immortality.
Christian friends, Sir knights
Read in the life of this man, the love
Of wife, of children, of friends is
more thar the trivial, shallow pleas
ures of dissipation. To his family he
leaves an honest, upright past. To
you, his fellow Knights, worthy ex-
ample.
Guard for him, those whom he has
left, as you know he would guard
those of another.
Sleep on, Sir Knight, to awake at
the voice of your great Commander,
confident in the hope of joyful inn
mortality at the general resurrection
of the just.
